Danenhower resumed, before the Jean- netie board of inquiry this morning, his narrative Of the retreat acros3 the ice after the sinking of the Jeannette. He sild: “Mr. Dunbar, the tee pilot, was detatled to zo ahead, select a road, and plant Diack flags to sow the line of mareh,’ and he proposed :rrangement was to advance the boats and provision sleds by short stages and as many of them it a time as practicable.” Question.—ivas the detail of officers and men for the boats made before the staft upon the re- treat? Answer. ‘There was a detail made in Septem- ber, 1879. ind the finadetail was made at Bennett island bout August 6, 1881. A modification of this last detail was made about September 3,when two inen were taken from Lieut. Chipps’ boat. The men’s knapsacks and personal equipments Were stoved in the boats on the retreat. In reply to a further question, witness sa{d the provisions saved from the wreck and provided for the retreat were ail that it was possible to carry and even more, as some had to be abandoned to prevent encumbering the party too much. Witness was then asked what became of the other two boats saved from the wreck which were not taken along on the retreat and replied: The iron dingy was left at the first camp and the wooden dingy was taken along, to be used for quick work th launching to hunt for seals. She was eventually, however, cut up for fuel The boats were all clinker bullt“and copper fastened, which 13 considered the best description of boat for Arctic service, thelr lightness being the chiet recommendation. Question.—Did subsequent experience prove the captain’s statement (“tue boats already down wiil be sufficient”) to be correct? Answer.—The question 1s a difficult one to an- swer. It would seem to call for my judgment on the whole matter. The stowage capacity of the boats Was sufficient for the thirty-three people and their effects. The boats had to be crowded, and When We reached the coast water fourteen persons wer? in the first cutter, eleven in the whale-boat, and elght in the second cutter. While traveling over the ice the second cutter was considered the favorite boat and fully adapted to the service for which she was Intended. She was short and handy, and was not subjected to the same strains and thumps that the other boats received. The captain evidently meant that ail the boats the party could carry were on the ice, and that it was not necessary to take more risk and trouble in lowering the second whale-boat from the ship after she had been abandoned. —Was elther of the boats used constd- cient In strength, or a8 a sea boat, and vhich of them? Answer.—At the commencement of the retreat neither of the boats were considered deficient in strength or badly adapted to what was expected of it. except the Whale boat (which was used), she being long and subject to rough usage In Utans- porting her over rough hummocks. She had her arboards stove and all of her fastentngs were loose, and she was unfit to put in the water when We reached Bennett island, where she was overhauled and repaired by Carpenter Sweetman.

WELLS—QUESTIONS OF VERAC- ITY RAISED, ETC. ‘The report of Mr. Wells, it is stated, when given to the public will raise a question of veracity be tween some persons. For instance, H. A. Bowen swears that Dickson made overtures to him, He wanted Bowen to appoint a meeting for Dickson and Mr. Brewster Cameron, the general agent of the Department of Justice, when the matter could be talked over privately. Bowen told Cameron that Dickson wanted to see him, and Cameron took the advice of government counsel, and made it conventent: for Bowen to bring Dickson to_him, but he did not come. Cameron never saw Dic! son to speak to him. Bowen says that Dickson sald the defendants were putting up money, and if the government wanted to succeed it would have to put up handsomely. Bowen was dis- charged from the service of the government be- cause he was found untrustworthy, and that be- fore ever Mr. Dickson made his statement public. ‘The Secretary of War endorsed Bowen because he knew him to be the son of an esteemed friend of his father.

BRITISH Snes fe MORE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS. a The Landing of William Penn. THE BI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION IN THE QUAKER CITY TO-DAY. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.—No more fitting weather could have been vouchsafed for “Landing Day than that which prevailed this morning. The air | was clear and crisp and the sun shone brightly. At no time during even the Centenntal period was any event 80 thoroughly and hearttly ‘celebrated by the public, which filled the streets, the river front, Windows and roofs of houses fronting or overlooking the Delaware, and all sorts of gaily decorated craft on the ‘river. Shortly after 8 O'clock the tug-boats, steam barges, and other vessels, to the number of about 150, were formed in line in the Vicinity of League tsland, the United States naval station, five miles south of the city proper, and followed in the wake of the Wel- come, a Danish bark fitted up to represent the original vessel on which Penn came over. The Founder was impersonated at short notice by Frank M.Van Horn, Dan’lE. Reillya retired actor, who was to have taken the character having been taken suddeniy fl After a few simple ceremontos aboard the Welcome, the latter was taken in tow by a tugand brought up to the city. As she passed the North Atlantic equadron, anchored elow the point chosen for Penn's landing, she was | saluted by the Tennessee's lute. ‘The wharf where the landing took place Was at Dock street, sald to be just above the point where the original landing was effected, Athalf- pastten Penn stepped over the side of the Wel- come, and as he did so the scene was Interesting beyond description. Boat bells were rung, steam whistles on the river and land blown, guus fired, and the multitude cheered. On the landing-whart were assembled some fifty or eighty persons dressed to represent the Swedes, Dutch, {ndians, and others who congregated to receive William Penn, and from these the mock founder re- ceived hearty welcome. Eaward C. Knight president of the Bi-Centennlal Association Thomas M. Thompson, chiet marshal ot the day's trades display; general manager Colesbery and members of the executive commit- tee formally welcomed Penn and his companions upon their landing, and a procession was then formed, headed by Penn and Mr. Knight and com- posed of the gaudily uniformed British officers from the Welcome, the Swedes, Dutch, Indians, the Friends who ‘formed the ‘colony’ brought hither by Penn and the members of the executive committee of the association that devised and superintended the demonstration, the whole mak- ing A WONDERFULLY NOVEL SPECTACLE. Dock street was crowded with from 10,000 to 15,000 men, Women and children, A space had been kept ‘clear by ropes for the procession to march to the Blue Anchor Inn, where the original Penn went for refreshment after landing, but the pollce arrangements were defective; the crowd e through the cordons at all points on Dock street and there was the most unutter- avle confusion, rushing and crushing in consequence. “The police managed to clear, & space for Penn and his company, however, and the welcome at the Blue Anchor fan 2d and Dock streets, was carried out. Then fol- lowed the grand landing day demonstration, one of the finest affairs of its kinil ever witnessed here. ‘The line of parade formed on Broad street, south of Chestnut, from 10 a.m, until shortly after 230, Wien the procession moved In the following THE PROCESSION. ‘The parade formed tn the following order: Pla- toon of police, the first or Enited States division composed of United States troops from Governor's Island, under command of Major General W.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, among the | white troops, the total number of cases of all kinds taken on the sick lst was 34,480, being at the rate of 1,679 per 1,000 of mean strength, and among the colored troops, 4,099 or 1.810 per 1,000 of mnean strength. There Were 216 deaths among the white troops, 25 among the colored, and 9 amoug the In- dian troops. In connection with a statement of the vast amount of work performed in the record and pen- sion diviston, the surgeon general refers to a pro- gressive increase in the dificulty of search for record of the hospital treatnent of soldiers who served in the late war.
