A TOTAL FAILURE, The signal oftice received the following from Lieut, Garlington, commanding the Greeley relict expedition: “Sr. Jonxs, September 13.—It is my painful duty to report the total failure of the e .pedition. 'The Proteus was crushed in the pack, latitude 78’ 52, longitude 74° 20/, and sunk om the afternoon of the 23d of July. My party and the crew of the ship were all saved. I made my way across Smith's sound and along the eastern shore to Cape York, thenceacross Melville bay to Upernaivk, arriving there the 2ith of August. The Yantic reached Upernarick the 2d of September and left the same day, bringing the en- tire party here to-day, all well. (Signed) E. A. GaARLINGTON.” POLARIC HARDSHIPS, The steamer Proteus, was crushed in the ice six miles north of Cape Sabine, July 23. The crow and relief party, after depositing the records at Littleton island and Hundora harbor, retreated south, in six boats, to the Upernavik, suffering many hardships in Mellville bay. The party reached Littleton island August 3, without much difticulty found the records, and immediately proceeded southward. They searched the coasts and Islands theroughly down to Saunders 1sland. The ice pack then closed in. They could neither get around nor through and were obliged to retreat un- der the lee of Northumberland island. On August 9th a southward gale loosened the pack and they were able to get through and continue the search. The coast about Cape York filled with ice and packed so close they could not get wituin 20 miles of land August 10th, having ice in all directions but southeast, proceeded to Upernavik; sent 15 days’ rations to Lesinsake and the whale beat to Cape Shackleton August 22d, sailed for coal mine, thence to God Hayen. On the 3lst Lieut. Caldwell arrived in a launch from Upernavik, having been 39 days iu an open boat. Had separated under orders at Cape York, sailed the same day day for Upernavik. The party arrived there September 2d, and proceeded homeward. They had a rough passage. CALIFORNIA TIMBBR FRAUDS. The commissioner of the general land oftico said to-day, in reply to inquiries in regard to timber land frauds discovered in Califernia: **‘Have had knowledge of these operations for some time and have had agents out there making investiga- tions. In consequence of the reports re- ceived from them 1 have suspended ac- tion upon all timber land cases in Cali- fornia, Orogon and Washington territory. Persons intercsted are not getting any any patents and they will not get any until I am satisfied as to the honesty of their entries.” In explanation of the nature of the illegal operations, Commis- sioner McFarland said congress by special act provided for the sale to indi- viduals of sopatate tracts of timber Jand in California, Oregon and Washington territory at $2.50 per acre. THE PRESIDENT'S PLANS, Ttis not likely there will be a cabinet mecting to-morrow. The president will probably leave Washington to-morrow afternoon for New York, to attend the funeral of his friend, Hugh Hastings. The president has been requested to act as one of the pall bearers, Whether he will then return to Washington or extend the trip further, has not yot been decided. FONTAL NOTES, A statement prepsred at the money order office, based upon returns for one week from 100 smaller money order of- fices, shows that 42 per cent of the money transmitted by the money order servive was in postal notes. CADET TAYLOR, WASHINGTON, September 13.—The ¢ case of Cadet Taylor, late postmaster of Winona, has been decided in his favor by the solicitor of the treasury. THE NATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL CIATION convened again to-day and elected W. . Thompson, of Washington, president; E. W. Runyon, of San Francisco, vice- president. A number of committees were appointed. The treasurer's annual roport stated that all bills were paid and $7,000 in the treasury. The Elbert o for the best essay was awarded to . W. Lloyd, of Cincinnati. A com- mittee was appointed to select the next place of meeting. The delegates were given a reception to-night by the citizens of the District, THE EFFECTS OF THE FROST, Telegraph reports have been received from the state and agricultural depart A880- ment from Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, M n and Dakata, They shew that frosts since the 1st inst. dam- aged the corn crop in those states from b to 15 per cent, the greatest injury oceurred in Olio, Notwithstanding the sthtistician of the department says the two and a half million acres increase over last year’s planting will probably keep tho total yield from falling below 1,600,000,000 bushels. The total for last year is 1,025,000,000 bushels, so the de- orease will not, he says, be serious enough to cause short supply. —— Fire Record, Des Moixes, la., September 13.—The Adair county court house in Greenfield, In., and all the adjoining buildings on that side of the public square were burned this morning. The fire originated in the Bonton bakery; cause unl nown, | | Ten buildings, including the court house, were destroyed. Loss £10,000; insur- ance $3,000.

THE SHOW AT QUINCY, Quiscy, September 13.—To-day has been a great one for the Quincy exposi- tion, business in the city being almost entirely suspended. There was the larg- est attendance ever attracted on a similar occasion in the city. THE DISTURBANCES IN CROTIA, Acrad, September 13,—The violence of the rebels against the land owners be- tween Glena and Petrinia, 18 increas- ing. The mulitary force which was sent to the scene of the disturbance were com- pelled to fire into a dense mass of rioters at Jakobovaz, killing fifteen and wound- ing mln¥ other: The Hungarian Prime Minister had an interview with the Crotian notables summoned to an audience. The inter- view was stormy. The notables, after ex- citedly detailing their wrongs, under which Crotia suffered, promised to fulfil certain conditions proposed by the Hun- garian gevernment, the details or charac- ter of which 1s not made known. The disturbances in the interior grow more frequent and conflicts with the troops are assuming a most serious character. The Pesth Remzet, organ of Prime Minister Fisza, expresses the fear that the outbreak in Crotia is well organizad, and that to suppress it effectually ad- ditional troops will have to be forwarded to the scene of the disorder. LUTHER'S BIRTHDAY, WirreNBERG, September 13.—On the occasion of the ceremonies of the cele- bration of the birthday of Luther, the city was profusely decorated.

BiraiscuaM, September 13, —At the trades unions congress Joseph Arch of- fered a resolution that, considering the large amount of waste land in theiin&,- dom which is capable of cultivation, radi- cal changes in the land system of the country ave required in order that the land may be put under productive culti- vation for the benefit of the community, thereby offering a check to excessive em- igration. An amendment was offered calling upon the government to declare such land government preperty, and with this addition the entiré resolution was adopted. Loxnoy, September 13.—A Norwegian vessel was sunk in the English channelto- day by collision. Twelve persons were down.

Should negotiations with China collapse it is thought the govern ment will not survive a meeting of the chambers 24 hours, WILL CONCEDE NOTHING, S Loxvox, ptember 13, — Marquis Tseng, Chinese Ambassador, in an inter view at Jolkestone on his return from Paris, said China was determined to con cede nothing concerning suzerainty over Annam. She did not wish France to possess the territory adjoining the Chi- nese frontier. The despatch of French reinforcements to Tonquin would be un fortunate as it would compel China to boldly send troops to adjacent provinces. The military party are daily gaining ground at Pekin and the Marquis said OMAHA, NEB. FR that nething definite had resulted from his journey to Paris. A NEW MINISTRY. Lima, via.

NOTES. The French cabinet will consider the Tonquin question to-morrow, The steamer Athenian with O'Donnell, the slayer of Carey, on board, has ar- rived at Madeira from Cape Town, He is closely guarded. Ho maintains ho shot the informer in self-defense. A number of important witnesses in the case of O'Donnell, who killed Carey, are already in London. Mus. Carey and family have arrived. English detectives just returned from America have in their possession valua. ble information concerning the extent of the Fenian conspiracy. 1t is ascortained the real name of the informer, Norman, is Gibuey. It is reported serious changes have oc- curred in the condition of Bismarck, Doctors have been suddenly summoned to Gastein for consultation, Lavor in the Sout New York, September 13.—John C Calhoun, of South Carolina, grandson i the famous statesman of the samo nau and who is now a resident of Arkuusws, was a witness before the senate commit- toe on labor and education this morning. He was called to testify in regard to the condition and prospects of labor in the south., He stated that laborers in the Mississippi valley were entirely agricul- tural. Few white men are employed, as they soon become either land owners or tenants. The condition of negroes is good, compared with a few years ago, but thoy are indolent, and only worked to supply the necessaries of life. There was much greater tendency to a contlict betweenraces than between labor and capital. The best interests of labor- ers of the south could be subserved by the establishment of industrial schools and by total elimination from federal pol- itics of the so-called negro question and by leaving its solution to time and the reduction of taxation. For many years the negroes regarded themselves as the wards of the federal government, and it were well for them to understand they have nothing more to expect from the federal government than the white man, and that like him their future depends on their own energy and industry. Nothing probably would contribute so immediately to their prosperity as the reduction of the tariff. Witness thought the south offered the greatest inducements to immigration. Race feeling was dying, and if the south was left to itself there was no more dan- ger to be feared from it. Parties could all then find secure investment. In pol- itics, the negro vote was by no means so solid for the republican ticket as so many in the north supposed, but was split between the parties, a large proportion voting with the planters, their employers, not from coercion, but by preference. Witness advocated govern- mer‘l‘:dimpmvemant of I:hn Miusingipi. In a education, he suggest t ?Q"fogwrd‘ Elbn' tax nf %?7.0,000’,%0 should be appropriated to the education of the negroin the south. As to the rest of the states, they could take care of their colored citizens, and he recommend- ed that the settlemant of all difticultios be left to time. : — The Skeleton of a Love Story. Cuicaco, September 13,—Johan Schill- ing and Paula Hell were lovers in Ger- many and engaged to be married, Schill- ing tired of his love and came to this country and to Chicago where he married another woman. Miss Hell followed him and was a frequent visitor in Schilling’s family. The cast-off woman was light- hearted and jovial and though occasion- ally threatening suicide in a jocular way, no” one paid any heed toit. One day several weeks ago, being an expert oars. woman, she rowed out upon Lake Michi- gan, and some days after her body was found floating in the waters. It was identified by Schilling and the coroner's jury returned a verdict of suicide To- day Johan Schilling was adjudged insano m the county court. 1t appears that after secing her dead face at the morgue the features of his old and dixcarded love was continually before him and drove Lim distra 3 nocracy. J., Septembor 13.—The tic state convention assembled Allen (. MeDermott was se- lected a8 chairman, and the secretaries and usual committees appointed. .

This is mnder- stood to be in response to the Wabash cut to Council Bluffs, i NORTHERN NEBRASKA. A Remarkably fioud Harvest Reaped in the Valleys of the Elkhorn, Nio- brara ond Keva Pana, IDAY MORNING, The Peat Beds of the Latter Two Valleys Surpass the Bogs of Ireland. Artistic Charact Sketches of the General stics of the Country, spondence of Tik Bk Nen, September 12, As Tue BeE is the standard of authority and tho great family newspaper of all thissce- tion of country, I am constrained towrite you my observations of several w ek’ travel throughout Northern Nebraska, Crops all along the Elkhorn valley, the Niobrara and the Keya Paha, are as good as could be asked for. Oats in many places I find, are yielding 50 to 80 bush- els to the acre. Wheat 20 to 40 bushels to the acre, although there is very little sed, Corn hercis the best I have scen setween this and the Mississippi this scason. The production of sod corn is remarkable. Much of it will yield 50 bushels to the acre, and as there was much breaking done last spring, there is a great deal of it in the country, although tho present weather is injuring it some- what, most of it will ripen and be sound. No frost here to date. This country is settling up fast, and is decidedly worthy the husbandman’s attention. A good deal of it is very sandy, but seems to pro- duce good grass and all kinds of crops, especially vegetables. There has been ABUNDANCR OF RAIN all summer until within the past few woeks, and grass anywhere east of Val- entine is yet fresh and*green. Threo is a great deal of stock in the country, and owners of it find it very profitable. Thousands ef tons of hay are now being put i the stack, There is yet a great deal of good government land to be found on a line west from Neligh, on the Nio- brara and Keya Paha rivers and their many tributaries. There is considerable fire wood to be found on these streams, and several saw mills are located on the Niobrara, and are kept more than busy sawing pite, elm, vak, cottonwood and basswood lumber for the settlers, at from 89 to $14 per thousand. Many sections on the Niobrara and the Keya Papa abound in extensive beds of peat of the finest quality I ever examined. A home- steader on the Sandy, fifteen miles north of this place, has acres of it on his place, and is using it for fuel with great satisfaction, although he has plenty of firewood close at hand. 1 am inclined to think there is an unlim- ited supply of this peat, but the prairie fires in dry seasons destroy tons and tons) of it. Old bog trotters of the Emerald Isle say they never saw a finer quality of ficnt than is to be found in Brown and olt countics. Everything in, this sec- tion indicates an abundance of coal and an interesting prehistoric day. In o leis- urely stroll week before last between heré and the Keya Paha, my attention was called to SOME HUGE BONES that had lately been discovered. On ex- amination I found one of them to be be- yond question the jaw of an elophant. The ivory tusks were broken off close to the jaw, but the ivory in the socket is plainly visible and in good state of pres- ervation, Placing the bone upon scales I found it weighed 75 pounds, although a large portion of it lad been broken off and many of the teeth had disappeared. The tusks were three inches in diameter. Other huge bones, such s are not found in animals of the present age, were also in_this collection. Thigh bones meas- uring from four to six inches in diameter, |and joint sockets of immense proportions, and the lower jaw bone of some smaller animal having two ivory tusks, all of which T found in the hands of a Mr. Webster. At Ft. Niobrara 1 found what sciontists pronounce to be the hip bone of mastodon in the hands of Chaplain W, I'. McAdam. On the Keya Paha, last Monday, I found the ball of a bone on the prairie which measures seven inches across, 1 am told that alady at Long Pine dis- covered an_ivory tusk last spring which was soven feet long, but 1 cannot vouch for this, as I have not seen it. I am algo told that 25 miles north of here on the Niobrara, was discovered a jaw bone that when set on end a man could easily walk under the arch, Many other relics that should be collected col- locted by the state and preserved as evi- dences of the character of its past history, aro promiscuously scattored over this portion, and would bo of great interest for sight seers to look at. The Niobrara river vicinity from its mouth to 50 miles ahove Kort Niobrara, producos some of the finest specimens of petrifactions of different substances ever seen The evidences of coal all through the Keya Paha and Niobraia river regions are. pronounced of the very strongest character by all old miners now in this rogion, Mr, Means, an old settler on the Niobrars viver, informs me that he has trequently found chunks of coal of a hundied pounds or moro lying on top of the ground, and carried some of them s and burned them. (No coal has 1 hauled into tion, as wood indant. ) juarters at Fort Niobrara are of a very neat and substantial character. The wallwof the different buildings are | MADE OF DOBY BRICK.

CATTLE, CATTLE, CATTLE is the wealth of the country and all it is good for. . North of the Minnechaduza river which empties into the Niobrara at the fort there is some very fino soil but it is on table land too high and dry to produce anything but a short buffalo grass, T have seen no agricultural lands worth having west of Long Pine oxcept in small_ patches not worth looking for. Johnny 'Carnes, of Omaha, accompanied me on a couplo of days’ ramblo and got satisfaction, as staging and walking was abundant, the sun hot, and our umbrel broken, but Johnny waded through the tall grass up to T netk very courage ously and at night accopted the soft side of & board for repose without grambling but when he would meet a homesteader and hear him sing the praises of The BEE, as was genorally the case, it cheored his drooping spirits and lived up his lag- ging limbs. There is a great deal of magnosia limestone on the table lands between the Niobrara and Keya Pala rivers but no regular ledgoes that 1 have discovered. Good lime is made from it and it makes good building material, Much of this country is far ahead of anything 1 saw in a ramble through southern Dakotaand will compare very favorably with any of Towa’s boasted ag- ricultural soil. 1 notice that quite a number of Towa’s best citizons are now here and that some of her best pro Emnin..im of a year ago are saloon- keopors here now. 'l‘SIel'n is a movement on foot here now to make three counties out of Holt and Brown by taking two tier of townships from the west side of Holt and three tier of townships from the east side of Brown, to form a now county. Potitions are being circulated for signers, 1 think the project will preve successful. But space is up, yet my story is but half told, oumitsaly) Pee Dgg. - ——— shore in aFog. Freevonr, Ill., Septembor 13.—The Italian steamship, Independent, from Palermo, was drove on shore at Jones in- let at 4:30 this morning during a fog and high sea. It is loaded with 3,000 tons of sulpher, 1,000 boxes of lemons and oranges, and has also 160 passengers and crew on board.

Vac- um pans and centrifugals have been substituted for open kettles and ordinary methods of purging Muscovado sugars, Second, that sugars from other countries were imported into the Sanwich 4 1slands and fraudulently exported to the United States as Hawaiian sugars. After careful investigation at San Fran- cisco the commission ascertain there was a remarkable increase in the percentage of lower grades imported into San Fran. cisco from July 1, 1875 to September 9, 1876, while the treaty was pending, as compared with previous and subsequent years, During that period the proportion of sugars bolow No, 10, Dutch standard, was 62, B2 per centagainst an average of the samo grades of 15.28 per cent in the fiscal year of 1874, and an average of 14.52 per’ cent from January 1, 1877, to June 30, 1882. It appears that up to 1875 most of the better grades of Sand- wich lslands sugars were sold in the markets of the Pacific coast directly for consumption. HBarly in that year the San Francisco refiners made contracts to purchase tho greater part of the crop of the islands and arranged with the plant- ers to make s large proportion as possi- blo dark in color to meet the then exist- ing tariff. After the treaty was promul- gated the proportions of ‘several ™ became about the same as before said arrangements were entered into. With this exception it does not appear there is any substantial difference in the character of sugars imported prior and since the treaty, nor is there any evi- dence that the importations under the treaty were not such sugars as were com- monly imported and known as Sandwich island sugars prior to 1876. The infor- mation obtained from & large number of merchants and citizens; “efficials in San Francisep and Portland, familiar with wag l{;fl to the effect that a ige had taken place 'in_the of “hported. Itis worthy of notice that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, there has been an tion, at Portland, of Sandwich island sugar. As to the remaining charges they could only be investigated satisfactorily in the island, The commission proceeded to Honolula and found that no Muscovado sugar had been made in the islands for more than 20 years prior to the treaty. The charge that the sugars are imported from the East Indies and China into the Sandwich Islands and from thence re- shipped to the United States, as of Ha- walian growth and manufacture, is de- cided to be without foundation. The commission says such operations are ut- terly impracticable, he landing of sugar could be only accomplished by col- lusion between shippers and the United States and the fluwaiinn officials, of which there is no evidence or grounds for suspicion. It is a significant fact that while vague charges of frauds of this nature are made, no specified case has ever been brought to the knowledge of either government. The allegation seems to have no other foundation than the fact that there has been a large in- crease in the quantity of sugars sent to the United States since the treaty, but this increase can be otherwise accounted for. 1t is the legitimate result of the treaty itself. With respect to the com- plaints of the ecaster sugar refiners, that although the Lruntfy provided only for importation free of duty of Muscovado brown and unrefined sugars, Muscovado has been imported under the treaty while largo quantities have been received of what are known commercially as *‘semi- refined” sugars, which were referred to a commission, The latter say they have found as before stated that no Muscova- do sugars have been made in islands for twenty years or more prior to the treaty and that the term Muscovado sugar has aot a place in the treaty, With regard to the prospective ~ large increase in the sugar production of the island, which had been much talked of and formed part of their investigation, the commission say they are concinced the output of all islands and under the most favorable circumstances, unless by a bet- ter %wm of cultivation, cannot” exceed 100,000 tons of sugar per annum, The commission find that with few exceptions the sugar producing industry of the islands is in the hands of German and English citizens or Hawaii. With re- spect to the charge that the treaty has created a sugar monopoly on the Pacific comst and increased ~ the price to consumers, they say they did not find this statement warranted by the facts. 1t is true thoy suy that the remis- sion of dut{ by the United States has not been a benefit to the consumer on the Pacific coast, but the duty remitted, which, were there no treaty, would go into the United States treasury, now goes to the pianter and refiner, who bu nearly the entire product of the island, The increase in cost to the consumer on that coast of refined sugar, as compared by the price paid by consumers in the eastern states, from two to two and one- half cents per pound, is not the result of the treaty, but grows out of the monopo- ly of the refining business in San Fran- cisco, coupled with the still greater monopoly of railroad transportation. e — The police frustrated a plot to Lill Large size $1.
