Elsewhere in this paper are printed extracts from. the diaries of Lieut. Greely and Lieut. Lockwood, containing evidence of the deplorable bickerings among the officers and men of the Greely expedi- Uon during the last terrible year of their sojourn in the regions of snow and ice. Below we continue ‘the story, as follows: THE GRAPHIC JOURNAL OF PRIVATE HENS’ The journal of Private Henry, which fs on file at the signal office, covers the time from October till June 4th, 1884. The writer, although an uneduca- ted man, proves to have been possessed of very clear observation and broad ideas. The matter Was evidently prepared for publication, as a letter Was found among the writer's papers from Editor Storey, of the Chicago Times, authorizing him to write for that paper., To read Private Henry’s journal a very different opinion of the man’s character would be formed than from his acts as shown by the records of the expedition. His last entry was made June 4th, and two days later he was shot by order of the com- mander of the expedition for stealing provisions. May 8d he writes: “Toerr human to forgive divine. He who was loud-stin his denunctation af the unfortunate who was tempted to purloin a Scrap of meat was to-day caught in commissary, having broken open the door and was found wiih about a pound of bacon tn bis pocket.” He refers to Whistler. May 11th: “Cowardly action in Greely in want- ing toshoot Dr. P.; also drew rifle on Bender, Calls Kislingbuy a Har and apologizes to enlisted ‘men.” “May 15.—Yesterday Biederbeck and Whistler had a row out of doors and some one stole Elison’s Dacon, which was under charge of Lieut. Greely. The terrible struggling of death by starvation actually had no terror for ws; we looked on with stolid indifference upon our coming fate. A few hours before death instead of acraving for food, they Kept calling for water and could hardly be con- troiled or sausfied. All,with one exception, were un- conscious for hours before dying. Poor Lockwood came out of his bag to stant in thealley way while moonshine distillery was going on and Was the last to receive his potation. Ere the rest of us had their share he requested a repetition of the dose from the officiating steward, and, upon! being reprimanded by the officer ‘askinj for such a thing from the steward, he turn around to the Doctor and satd : ‘Well, I will go to the fountain head,’ and he repeated his demand, Upon beng, absolitely refused, he dropped. to the floor, and hardly ever opened his mouth again and Ups to utter another word.” , atler noting that Whistler is dying, says: “Called in tent and taformed that five made sworn statement that Pavy stole Elit- son’s rations, and that the official record concern- ing it had been tampered with. A. W. G., if he does die, dies the death of a miserable coward.” He then speaks of Whistler’s death, and says that tea was found in his pockets. May 28—Poor Kislingbury 1s sinking rapidly and the doctor has given him up. Last night Dr, P. ana Lieut. G, had another squabble over medi- cine. “The majority of us fourteen have given up all hopes of seeing our fends again, but a few have still a chance at the conclusion of this terrible tragedy to be welcomed with universal acclamation 68 worthy frontiersmen of Uncle Sam, and as men who have made themselves immortal by a splendid victo and innumerable sufferings, hitherto incom} le in the annais of arctic exploration and st all Taws of nature.” ‘The notes of the first four days of June are brief Memoranda of the rapidly sinking condition of those left. ———_->-____ ‘The Returning Pilgrims. WHAT THEY SAY OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT AND HIS INTENTIONS—NOT MUCH LIGHT SO FAR THROWN ON THE QUESTION OF SELECTING A CABINET. ‘Those democratic Senators and Representattves who have returned from visitsto Mr. Cleveland generally express themselves as pleased with what they saw of the President-elect. They were all Kindly received, and he attentively Ustened to everything they had to say, but he gave no sort of romise to any of them. He remarked to his vis- tors thit the making of a cabinet was a most per- plexing duty, and one requiring careful considera- tion. He sald’ his purpose was toselect the material which would make the best cabinet for the country and the party—the men who would most effectively aid hiin in making a successful administration, REPRESENTATIVE LOWRY SAYB the Indiana delegation was cordially received and Most pati¢htly heard. They spent about half an hour with the President-elect, who spoke in the highest terms of ex-Senator McDonald, and said he ws convinced the latter was the choice of all In- diana democrats. The Mississippi Congressmen also spent some little time with Mr. Cleveland, and they say he impressed them as aman who feels that he 1s about to assume grave and Weighty re- sponsibilities. Congressman Goode, for the Virginia delega- tion, presented the claims of Representative Bare bour, for whom Mr. Cleveland also had kind words. Senator Harris briefly presented ex- resentative Whitthorne aga man eminently jed for the head of the Navy department, and one whom the Tennessee democrats would be pleased to have chosen, Senator Vance presented ex-Gov. Jarvis, of North Carolina, One of the members of who enjoyed the opportunity of quite a talk with the paneer told @ SraR reporter that from what he coult eae he did nct believe the cabinet would finally made up before the first of March, anyhow, He also got the impression that Mr. Cleveland intends to treat the independents with a great deal of dererence, as an element to which the party 1s very much indebted. 1A Stak reporter interviewed one or more members of the several delegations who have returned, and all of them admitted that they really obtained no information with regard to the cabinet, Mr. Cleve- land listened to all, but said nothing that would imply what he thought or what he means to do. Senators McPherson, Kenna, Camden and Pugh went over to New York city night before last. Senator McPherson was joined there by other dem- ocrats of New Jersey, and they pressed the claims ot — General Stockton for Attorney Gen- eral ‘There-are some democrats who have had oppor- ted with. tunities to become pretty well Mr. Cleveland’s ideas. ar methodstw say that it does not belp any aspirant for the cabinet to be used for preference, They say that Mf. Cleve nd feels bound fo listen to the speeches in favor of favorite sons, but that he is not moed by them. He will, it is after afi, make up his cabinet-as he deems best, first consulting, how- ever, such democrats as he considers able'to give him good counsel. If was pro the purpose of obtaining his views wo the south and its ie that Mr. Cleveland gavesd much time to Senator Lamar, It is known that the President-elect ranks Mr. Lamar as one of the very foremost men of the south. He has expressed that tee aateana at Etat many . r. Upon e was going into the cabins em- B he Was not.

Mrs. de Struvé Feceived the guests attired’in a handsome gown of white silx brocade, with pompadour neck filled with tulle and lace, and nearly all the ladies present wore magnificent tollets. Mrs. McElroy’s dress was a gray brocaded satin, trimmed with Steel passementerie. Of course a tempting supper was a feature of the evening, and the dancing tall Was open, and the music in attendance kept going ‘until three o'clock. A list of those presdut would embrace the names of a majority of the most rominent society people, and each of them went Rome 1ast eventa, with a fegret that that was tbe last of a Inost delighttul series of receptions. The reception and hop at Wiilaru’s hotel last evening was one of the pleasantest yet given ‘there, and the guests all seemed to enjoy it to the fullest extent. Among those present were Mrs and Miss Beaoh and ‘thelr guest, Miss Hoag; Mrs. and Miss Haldefman, of Leavenworth; Mrs.’ Cap- tain Scott, Representative and Mrs. Gannon aud daughter, Mrs. and Miss Turner, Mra and Miss Broadhea’, Dr. and Mra Noble, Mrs. and Miss Huyck, and many otuers Mrs. Marilla Ricker gave a dinner last evening to Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage and Miss Laura de Force Gordon, the only two delegates to the Tecent women suffrage convention now in we y ‘The audience that assembled at the Opera heuse last evening to witness the appearance of Mr. Irv- ing and Miss Terry in the roles of Benedict and Beatrice, was undoubtedly one of the largest and most fashionable ever seen in a Washington Ubeater. Hepresentative Phelps’ paxty occupled four boxes, and several other theater parties were there in ful evening dress, ingluding that of Mrs. General Hazen and Mir. and Mfrs. Franklin Steele. The dancing reception of the Midnight Dancing Club, at Masonic Hall last evening, was a very en- dora ble affair, attended by a large number of their jends and acquaintances, Mr, Marini gave another of his charming dancing Teceptions last evening, which was attended by a large humber ef society young people, and, like all of Lis emtertainment in his spacious and delightful | hall, {t was greatly enjoyed.

Two Exciting Epivodes Yesterday. KING AGT. EISCOCK, AND YOUNG AGT. WILLIS. The debate on the river and harbor bill has been marked by personal encounters between members since It was first taken up. Two lively tilts took Place yesterday—one between Floyd King, of Louisiana, and Frank Hiscock, of New York; and the other between Young and Willis, MR. KING ACCUSES MR. HISCOCK OF FALSEHOOD. Mr. King offered an amendment appropriating $15,000,000 for tue improvement of y Hook channel, advocating 1t as. a national improvement. Mr. Hiscock took this to be a cut at him, and said ‘Uhat he had seen a statement in the public press that he (Hiscock) was going to mike an attack ‘upon the jetty spstem at New Orleans. “Now,” he sald, “I have never intended to make uit—never Imagined euch an undertakisg, and have no sympathy wita any such scheme. Mr. King tose to a question of privilege, and gentleman from "New yainst me.” said: +The allusion of the York ts directed “Lbe d Mr. Hiscock. poyering it Girected against the ge Mr. King—And I say ut the man to state in a private conversation with me it was his purpose to state on this floor that the jetties at the mouth of the Mis been of no commercial value to that city. upon, taking hii te be In earnest, 1 {mi telegrapued to the various chambers of in that city as to the bevetlt to con the Mississippi valley by ¥ syste t mouth of the river, and T hold in mis hand their answers, and f request thay they be printed in tne Record or read from the de Mr, Hiscock—I hope my e will yield to mea little while.

Mr. King—That you ever advertised it ntieman will nol say that tn a privat jon he did not make that statement? Mr. Hiscock—I have nothing more to say, except that Just so far as I can go within the rules of the | House I desire to goy and do go, in saying that I have never— Mr. King—What? Mr. Hiscock—Well, that I have never said that 1 intended to do any such thing. Mr. Ring—and I state just within the rules of the House that the statement Is false. At this point the Chair called the gentlemen to order, and the House quieted down to routine busi- Bess for a while. ANOTHER CHARGE OF UNTRUTE. Finaily Mr. Young offered an amendment appro- Priating $75,000 for the Memphis harbor. In con- nection with the amenduent he said: I regret that I am driven by the pressure of circumstances to resort to a most unpleasant expedient. For sixty days I knocked at the door of the “star cham- ber,” where the committee on rivers and harbors Were preparing Unis bill, but I received no re- sponse, When the bill was reported to the House and T discovered that important improvements, upon which hundreds of thousands of dollars had been heretofore expended by te government, had been altogether lert out I was astonished — Every harbor between Cairo and New Orleans was left out altogether, and I confess that when I saw tue bill Twas am Zed. In view of the abliity, chars ter and standing of the gentlemen who hive charge of this bill t Was a matter of great surprise | and astonishment to me, and J therefore soucit, 1 but the oaVeTS..~ and I found but one single member that did not disavow all connection with It.

AU this point Mr, Willis, chairman, jumped up and declared that Mr. Young's statements were untrue. see about Ulat. How do you know it’ not to be true?” Mr. Willis—Because the committee acted w all those harbors, including the harbor of Memphis. Mr. Young—I did not say that they did ne Mr. Willls—Well, you dudertook to place upon me before this House Ube sole respons!bllity for the | action of the committee upon those appropriations, and I st»te that that is not true. Mr. Young—Mr. Chairman, what T have stated 13 Uterally true. I apptied to’every member of this committee, and they all said they were in favor of thts appropriation except the chairman. Mr, Breckinridge The gentleman from Tennessee (ir. Young} 1s certatniy very much mistaken. Mr. Young—And you (Mr, Breckinridge) were one of them. Mr. Breckinridge—I certainly was, and I urged the appropriation very warmiy before the com- mittee; but when my proposition was put to a vote it was voted down. Mr. Young—That does not affect what I have stated. 1 state Mere that every member of the committee that I spoke to, except the chairman, told me that he was in favor of 1t. Mr. Willis and Mr. Brec
