Being pinned down to this letter, th an ination was an act of ” “His election was an act of God.” “His removal is an act of God.” That in a document addressed “To the Ameri- can people.” and dated as early as June 16. 1881, he used this languaze: “I conceived the Idea of removing the President four weeks aco.

The news from the Arctic exploring vessel Jeannette, published in yesterday's Star, caused athrill of pleasureable excitement in the city, many people having abandoned all hope of hear- ing of the safety of the boat or her crew. The Jeannette, which has been crushed by the ice, left San Francisco July Sth, 1879. She was fitted out at the Mare Island navy yard by the United States government. An accurate ac- count of all expenses incurred in fitting her was kept and the amount paid out was reimbursed the Treasury by a check from James Gordon Bennett handed to Secretary Thompson. The Jeannette was an English built vessel, She was a staunch yacht and when she left San Francisco she was in every detail strong and perfectly sound. She had made one voyage to the Arctic region before she was bonzht in England by _ Mr. Bennett. Her name was then the Pandora. It was chanzed to Jeannette in honor of Mr. Bennett er. She has been the object of three search expedi- tions. The revenue cutter Corwin hunted for her, but found no traces of her or her crew. The U.S. steamer Alliance went up on the other side, but did not find out anything. The Rod- gers, a vessel specially purchased and fitted out ‘to hunt for her, is now in the Arctic seas lovk- ing for the Jeannette. When the vessel was crushed by ice, three boats left her, each with a portion of the crew and articies for their comfort and cenvenience. THREE MONTHS IN AN ICY SEA IN OPEN BOATS. The two boats from the Jeannette which have reached the Siberian mainland, made thelr way 300 miles across a sea encumbered with ice. De Long and his men were three months at sea and on the ice in open boats before they reached the mouth of the Lena river. the news of the arrival of two of the Jeannette’s boats and of the safety of their crews has been two months in reaching this country. The Jeannette Crushed in the Ice. A DISPATCH TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

Sufferings of the Crew. ONE BOAT LOAD OF THEM STILI. MISSING. A special supplement issued last evening by the Oficial Gazette of St. Petersburg. announces that all telegrams from Engineer Melville of the lost Arctic exploring steamer Jeannette, will | be forwarded to their destination as promptiy ! as possible, and that most energetic measures | will be taken for the discovery of the remainder of the crew of the Jeannette and those left on the ice at the mouth of the Lena river. News reached the govermnent at Jakutsk, Eastern Siberia, that on the 14th of September three natives of Oulons, near Cape Barhay, | 140 versts north of Cape Bikoff, discovered a | boat containing eleven men, who stated that they belonged to the Jeannette, and had under- gone terrible suffering. On hearing the news | the district deputy governor, with a doctor and medicines, was immediately dispatched to help the shipwrecked sailors, and was instructed to bring them to Jakutsk. The governor was also instructed to do everything in his power to recover the re- mainder of the crew, 500 rubles being given him to defray the first expenses. Engineer Melville has telegraphed to the American legation at | St. Petersburg that the Jeannette was sur- rounded and crushed by ice on the 23d of June in latitude 87? north, longitude 157° east. The crew left the vessel in three boats. About fifty miles from the mouth of the Lena they were separated by violent winds and thick fog. Boat No. 3. commanded by Engineer Melville, ar- rived on the 29th of September at the eastern mouth of the River Lena, where it was stopped by blocks of ice near the village of Bulenenga, inhabited by1dolators. Boat No. 1 reached the game spot. The occupants of these boats state that Lient. DeLong and Dr. Ambler, with twelve otners, landed at the northern mouth of the Lena, and that they are in a fearful condition, suffering from frost-bitten limbs. A party of the inhabitants of Bolenanga started immedi- ately to their assistance. Nothing Is known of boat No. 2." Engineer Melville forwarded dy natives long dispatches to Mr. Bennett, of the New York Herald. For want of funds they have been for- | warded by post. addressed to General Ignatieff. OnCctober 29 Nindeman and Noras, seamen, who were in boat No. 1, joined their comrades and stated that Lieutenant de Long, Dr. Am- | bler, and twelve others had reached the north- | ern mouth of the Lena and were starving. An expedition was at once sent out to rescue ther The survivors lost everything. Engineer Mel- ville says money is urgently needed, and should be sent by telegraph to Jakutsk. He has urgent- ly requested that six thousand roubles (about 000) be transmitted immediately to the govy- ernor of Jakutsk for the return and care of the shipwrecked men. FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Lowpox, December 21.—The London dard in an article says: has suffered destruction, the Americans have added additional glory to that they have already won in the frozen regions.” It concludes: “Itis more than possible that Lieutenant De Long may be the heraid of a new race of those ‘who. feareth not the spirit which dweileth in the land of ice and snow.’” ‘The Jeannette Expedition. In 1878 the steam yacht Pandora, then re- turned froma brief but successful Arctic voyaze, under the command of Captain Loring, was pur- chased by Mr. Bennett and sent to San Francisco to be fitted out for an expedition in search of the North Pole. One year later she was ready for sea, and on the 8th of July, 1879, she sailed out of the Golden Gate, attended by a great number of small boats bearing various committees and delegates of citizens and the honest godspeed of the American people. Her commander, Lieu- tenant De Long, had already seen service in the Arctic, whither he went in 1873, in the Juniata, Ston- received the following advices from the charge } to search forthe survivors of the ill-fated Polaris, The Juniata reached Upernavik,the most northern ; Settlement in Greenland, but was unable to pro- gress any further so he organized and commanded an expedition in asmall steam launch and pro- ceeded northward. Here he fell under the fas- cinating influence of tie northern Sphinx, like Franklin and so many other famous explorers who have esaayed a solution of its mystery. There is alegend of the south that whoever again to it before he dies, and there is another not phrased, but as truthful, that one who be- holds the eternal ice will return again to look atit. Lieutenant De Long was selected for the command of the Jeannette expedition on account of his rare fitness for such a work. A man of magnificent physique, iron willand per- fect knowledge of the probiems to be solved by the successful issue of such a journey, he was fitted in all ways for the task. Al- though he had investigated the Baffin'’s Bay route and was informed, from personal advantages and disadvantaces of the Frauz Josef route, he preferred to try to reach the su- preme spot by an untried way, and so selected the route via Behring Strait. In the adoption Of this route he was influenced by a number of considerations, In the first piace it was a cherished theory of Petermann’s that Wrangell not without foundation in the analozzies of phy- | open Polar sea had waned, and it was the con- | viction of scientific minds that if the Pole was | to be reached it would only be done by sledg- | ing. Now the character of the ice about Wrangell Land was such that it presented jess difficulties than the fleldsabout 51 's Sound or Franz Josef Land, and this was a powerful in- vent to attempt the joarney by that route. When De Long left civilization it was supposed, of course, that Wrangell Land was a cousider- able territory, but last summer Lieutenaut Ber- ry, in the Rodyera, proved it to be an insizniti- cant island, and this discovery disooncerted all the theories that had been Turmed as to her whereabouts. Some scientific men supposed that, having sighted Wrangell Land, the Jean- nette was driven in the ice pack away tothe east- ward and forced down on the American coast, and when this theory was subject of moot, the re- port, brought to America by a San Francisco whaler, that a party of white men were making their way down the Mackenzie river. seemed to prove the validity of the theory, for it was at once concluded that the white men could be no other than a remnant of the Jeanneite’s crew. It was objected that these men might be sur- vivors of the wrecked whalers Mount Wallaston or Vigilant, but the answer was made that it was highly improbable that ordinary sailors would select such a scientific method of release, and with some show of validity it was said that when whalers are wrecked they remain where- ever they land and wait for help rather than fight their way out over a country where death lurks at every step to gather tliem in. There wasa grad- ually forming conviction that these white men, who were reported as ascending the Mackenzie River, were none other than the survivors of the Jeannette, when Lieutenant Hoogaard, of the Danish navy and one of Nordenskjoid’s com- panions on the memorable of the Vexa, startled the world with the information that the Samoyedes, itinerant along the Northera Siber- ian coast in the neighborhood of the mouth of the Yenesi River, had reported to the Norge- oo walrus hunters that they had found the odies of two Europeans on the coast during their summer march. This news completely npset the theory, which even the Royal Geo- graphical Society of Great Britain did not dis- dain to entertain, and with such force as to sug- gest that the government instruct the Hudson’s Bay Fur Company to make a search along the Mackenzie River. All the ascertained facts about the Arctic cur- rents in the vicinity of Wranzell Isiand were against the conclusion that the Jeannette when ice-bound was forced to the eastward, but still it_was admitted that such might be the case. When, however, Lieutenant Huogaard made his statements the rational theory that she had been forced westward again assumed sway, and it now finds demonstration in the facts reported by cable. LAST ACCOUNTS, Since the Jeannette left San Francisco in July, 1879, she has been heard of but twice, and then through the Herald correspondent on board, who wrote long and interesting letters from Iliolionk station, in the harbor of Oonalaska. and St. Lawrence Bay, detailing the doings of the party up to August 27th. In September of the same year it was rted that the Jean- nette had been seen in Kotzebue Sound, but this was denied later in the Rie in 1880, according to Danish authority, a steamer’s smoke was seen near the mouth of the Lena river by the Yakuts living there, but in the transmission of this story from tribe to tribe, from the mouth of the Lena west to the Kara sea, where the walrus hunters heard it, it was, no doubt, somewhat damaged. Some said that the story was one concerning the Vega, and that the report was an old one, ori:i- nating with the natives who had not beea in coinvunication with Nordenskjold, but who had seen his vessel pass. RELIEF EXPEDITIONS. Notwithstanding that nothing was heard of the Jeannettee fora year anda half no grave apprepensions were entertained until the spring of the present year. News being still forthcom- ing at that time it was deemed wise to execute some concerted plan of action for the discovery of the whereabouts of the ship and her crew. Not since Franklin's absence enlisted the anxiety of the world has any explorer been the subject jeff has just received the following tele- | represented by a private gentleman, of such universal comment as De , and the present year will be memorable in the annals of Arctic effort, no less on account of the termina-— tion of the Jeannette expedition than for the general activity evinced in the search for her.

The faith once reposed in an | TRS PRTELMANN THEORY. The theory on which the Alliance war sent here to look for De Long has not been fully exe plained in print. It was an outcome of the iabors of the Jeannette Relief Board, and the reasons, briedly stated, were these: At the time she started the Petermann idea had not been invalidated by the discoveries of Lieut, Berry, and it was argned that if De Long had landed on Wraagell Land and sledwed his way to the Pole he would either make bis way te Smith Sound or Spitzberzen, where he would be sure of finding whalers and walrus bh inters, | or ai least more likely than by returning te the lower extremity of Wrangell Land.

THE RODGERS. The Rodgers still remains in the Arctic, and during the coming winter her commander will search the Siberian coast where De Long Isnowre- ported cast away, and in all probability learn what is now announced to the world via Europe, uch for the foremost of the two expeditions. | Third in order comes that made by Captain | Hooper in the enue cutter Corwin, in in addition to his usual duties as agent ¢ Secretary of the Treasury, was instructed to zo to Wrangell Land during his summer cruise and search for traces of the Jeannette. He succeeded in reaching its inhospitable shores, but could find no trace of the missing ship aud returned to report as much. OTHER EXPEDITIONS, The other two expeditious were primarily for meteorological purposes, but each was in- | structed to keep a bright look out for the Jean- nette, and to consider it an important part of their duty. The tint of these wax under the command of Lieut. Greely, with a station at ; Lady Franklin bay, in Smith sound, and the second was located at Point Barrow, the north- ern extremity of Alaska, under command of Lieut. Ray. From this it will be seen that no such comprehensive scheme of relief wax ever organized as that instituted by the United Staves govermnent for the Jeannette. Four of the most important points of egress were cov- ered—the norther shores of Siberia, by Lieut. Gerry; Point Barrow, on Alaska, by Lieut. Ray; Smith sound by Li . and Spitzbergen by Commani dieigh. Nor was this all, lfor Mr. Leigh in his yacht the Kira, a little of about 350 tons burden, promised, before he left Peter- head last summer to keep a diligent watch for the missing Americans. Wo can tell, since he himself has not returned to relate the history of the summer's cruise, whether his philanthrophy did not lead him into danger and prevent hi return? Some powerful incentive must have made him regardless of that rare caution that for fifteen years has stood him in such good stead in his Arctic journeys. His cruisi ground was away to the eastward of the Alli- ance in the region of Franz. Josef Land, where Weyprecht and Payer were cast away in the ethoff. This much had already been done for the re- lief of the Jeannette and still the activity went on. The Royal Geographical Society of Great Britain, as has been stated, was still actively en- gaged in devising plans for relief expeditions, and Lieut. Hoogaard was planning an expedi- tion to zo over the track which he had sailed before in the Vega for the purpose of searching the shores of Siberia. = — The Markets. WASHINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE.
