Senator Cullom, of E Hs HE Bf i fs i ‘The Proteus Disaster. OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE CRUSHING OP THE VES- SEL—SUPPLIE3 FOR THE GREELY PARTY LosT— THEIR SITUATION LIKELY TO BE CRITICAL IN CON- BEQUENCE, The Acting Secretary of the Navy last night re- ceived a report from Commander Wildes, of the United States steamer Yantlc, giving particulars of the loss of the Proteus and the return of the Yantic. The first officer of the Proteus brieflysummarizes the expedition as follows: The Yantic and Pro- teus left St. John’s at 4p. m.on June 2th. The Proteus arrived at Godhaven bay, Disco Island, July 6th, and the Yantic arrived there on the 12th. The. necessary preparations were made and the Proteus sailed for Cory island, arriving there on the 16th. She left on the 21st, and two days after- Ward was crushed, sinking at 7p. m. on July 281. ‘Twenty-nine days were speat in the boats. Sev- gral storms were encountered, from which the boats took refuge under the lee of iceber Lieut. Colwell and six of the ofew parted com) with the others at Cape York. They found the Yantic July 31st and reported that Captain Pike and the Test of the crew were moving southward, The Yantle reached Cory island Auzust 23, and on the same night proceeded to Pandora harbor, where Tecords from Pike and Garlington were found. She next proceeded south along the Greenland Coast, sending boats all around the islands in search of the missing crew. A stotm and heavy Pack Ice on August 9th forced the Yantic to an- chor to the leeward of Northumberland island. The next day she bore away for Upernavik, ar- riving there August 223. On the 2th she started for the Watgate coal mines and returned to Uper- navik Septeinber 2d,when Capt. Pike and the crew were found and taken on board. A telegram was also recelved at the signal office from Licut. Garlington, who commanded the rellet expealtion, confirming the above. DISAPPOINTMENT IN STORE FOR GREELY’S PARTY. Capt. Caziare, acting chief stgnal officer, refer- ring to the lossof the Proteus, said that Lieut. Greely had supplies for hts party suffictent to maintain it until next spring, but added that the great misfortune was the fallure to provide sup- Plles for him at Litdeton’s Island, and this was What made the loss of the Proteus stich a disaster. Under the instructions upon which he was acting, Lieut. Greely would break camp, he sald, at Lady Franklin bay about the latter end of September, and endeavor to make his way to Litticton’s Island, where he would count on finding stores. At several stations on the way down he would find supplies and boats for use where open sheets of water were tobe crossed. The trouble would be met when he reached Littieton’s Island. If he found no suppites his s!tuation would be critical indeed. He might be able to send back sledging parties to pick up the provisions deposited along the route, especially the two montis’ supply left by the Nare’s expedition at Cape Hawkes, and in this way maintain his party until relief could be sent to them there. THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER. ‘The whole Proteus party were in good health and fair spirits, They had becn exposed 31 days and nightg In boats, making some stoppages at intermediate harbors. The Proteus was crushed in a floe of ice at 3 p.m., July 23d, and senk within four hours. Fortunately, the men had time to save clothing, provisions, compass and other neces- Sarles to meet a yfrotracted voyage. July 25th, the boats being equipped, provisioned and manned, a start was made. ‘Thé scene of the disaster Was eight miles north-northwast of Cape Sabine, lati- tude 79°51’ N._ Over 600 miles of ice and frigid sea was passed before Upernavik was reached. No provisions were landed from the steamer, nor were any caches made, and all the stores intended for the Arctic colonies’ reliet went down in the steamer, ESQUIMAUX REPORTS FROM GREELY’S PARTY. While at anchor in Dantshhabor, on August 12, the governor of Eiburg came on board the Yantic and reported that the Danish steamer Sophia had arrived there from a harbor thirty miles north of Cape York, and that her captain had stated that a native Esquimaux had told him that two natives, who were with the Greely expedition, arrived there on sledges last winter, and reported that the party were all well except Dr. Pavy, who had died. These natives went back to Lody Franklin bay. Another Esquimaux, who arrived trom the Greely camp, reported that all the officers had been murdered by the men. Neither of these re- Ports 1s rellable, as the fondness of the Esqul- tmaux for lying and sensationalism places them in the category of fiction. Capt, Pike says that as farnorth as Cape Sabine tere was no trace of Lieut. Greeley or his party, and his fatlure to come South to Littieton island to meet the relief steam- ers this summer evokes grave apprehensions as to lls probable fate. The Proteus was retreating home when the ice-nip overwhelmed her. She got barely fifteen miles north of the scene of the ship- wreck, The prospects of the Greely colony en- countering the rigors of a fourth winter beneath the arctic circle are mournful to contempiate, one 3 only occutred during the expedition, that & Henry Wilson, gunner’s mate, of the Yan- tlc, from apoplexy. § LIEUTENANT GREELY’S CHANCES, ‘The greatest concern is now manifested here for the safety ofthe colony at Lady Franklin Bay under First Lieutenant A. W. Greely.

Greely. Caches of stores and two whaleboats were left at Littleton Island and Cape Island, the localities having been agreed upon with Lieut. Greely in the event of a failure of the vessel to get through the fice. The original intention was to communicate with this station yearly, renew the euppll bring back the sick and disabled, recruit the colony with able- bodied men and gradually extend the field of re- search into a more northern latitude.

Ze oe Alleged Wrongs of Colored People in the South, A COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE PRESIDENT—CHARGES OF BRUTAL TREATMENT OF COLORED MEN—COLO- NIZATION ON PUBLIC LANDS AS A REMEDY. J. W. Niles, of Arkansas, who represents him- Self to be the authorized representative of numer- ous clubs in the south, under the ttle of the “Idemnity Party,” to-day filed with the President a complaint, in which he says: “In the year of 1881 a number of colored and a few white men organized the idennity party for the purpose of homesteading colore] people upon public lands, We were compelled to this in self. defense. Arkansas has an abundance of such lands. We appointed our own agents t transact our land business with the state, and established a local land office; about 400 persons paid in the #12 fee and went to improving thelr lands. The agents applied for certificates and obtained four, and were refused any more. The state officers then set to work to defeat us Warrants were issued, our agents were tried, but not convicted our money, about $5,000, was take the mone was hever refunded; our people were driven from their land and Jost their improvements; our vil- lage church, school house, store and land office were demolished and appropriated by the state officers, and we were put to great trouble and costs ‘in defending suits. By such means as these we are ‘suppressed and defeated. Our women are prostituted under compulsion. We are prosecuted under the most frivilous pretext. Oppresstve fines are imposed upon us, which we must pay or go to the prison farm, and be sub- jected to the most horrid tortures, such as being waipped on our naked bodies with red hot saws dipped tn bolltng ofl, until the victim sometimes expires before the punishment ceases. Our selt- helping organizations are op) and broken up, and we are, to all intents and purposes, slaves. Of liberty we have only the name, We are even de- nied postal fecliities, and registering letters is no Protection. As to voting, that is simply a farce.” ‘The paper then gives an account of an attack on the house of Niles by masked men, his surrender after a sharp fight of an hour on a promise of pro- tection, and his then being handcuffed and paraded through the streets, and concludes as follows: “We therefore cali upon the President of the United States for protection and such aid as may be lawfully given, and ask him to present our cause to Congress, and urge an act to ullow us the use of the United States courts, as we cannot get Justice In the state courts, and to give ussuch other measures of relief as’ may be necessary to Ife, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” ———_— sor = District Government Affairs, RECEIPTS FROM WATER RENTS, Collector Cook has taken in for water rents the following sums: During July, $63,101.07; during August, $33,865.48; during September, $3,539.70; making'a total o; $100,502.95.
