The steamers Alert and Discovery arrived at Queens
iowu yesterday, and some additional tacts are made
public regarding thair cruise In tlie Arctic seas. Alter
Irst encountering ice the expedition was detained sev
eral days in Port Payer. It started tlionco on Au
gust 8, but befbro reaching tho shore of Grinnell
band the vessels wcro caught in on icc pack.
Atior this their progress northward was an
incessant struggle through chance openings
nude in the ice by wind and current, tho chan

losing behind them. Tho Discovery wintered in a
well sheltered harbor on the west side ot Hail's Basin,
t few miles north of Polaris Hay. The Alert pushed
forward and rounded tho northeast point of Grant's
band, bnt instead of finding, as expected, a
continuous coast 100 miles toward tho north
She found herself on tho border of an ex
tensive sea, with impenetrable ice on every side and
no harbor. The ship wintered behind a barrier of
grounded ice, close to land. Tho floating masses of i
thick polar ice had, in meeting, pressed np the masses
of intermediate ice into blocks frequently a mile in
dlametor, and varying in height from ten to lltty feet.
Obstacles ot this kind destroyod all hope of reaching
tho Pole by siedgeB before the attempt was made. Tho
sledge party waR obliged to make a road with pickaxes
aearly halt the distance it travelled. As the sledgo
oads had to be brought forward by instalments the
party really travered 276 miles, although it only
progressed seventy-throe. Ail the cairns erected by
the Polaris expedition wcro visited. At tho boat depot
in Newman's Bay o chronometer was found in period
order. Wheat left by the Polaris was successfully
grown aboard the ship.

There are many very conflicting reports afloat In
the capitals of Europe regarding the armistice. In

between tho Russian and the Turkish pro
posals for an nrmistlec; Turkey wishing to make
tho prolongation ceriain if peace Is . not concluded
attain the original term, and Russia only admitting
Ibe possibility of a prolongation. On tho other hand.
It Is positively stated by one lending journal of
London tbla morning that iho Saltan has accepted tho
irtnistlce without conditions. Private advices from
Constantinople represent that the French and
uermun Ambassadors have received inatructions
lo support the proposal for a six weeks'
armistice. General lgnutlcff, at a private
audience, is said to have inlorraed the Sultan
that, if the armistice were accorded, Russia would be
content to submit the question of autonomy to nconler
mre of the Powers. Russia apparently wants to exclude
rurkoy Irom tho conference; but as Austria is likely
lo persist In opposing any conference at a.l, this part
af Russia's proposal, probably, will not much embar
rass Turkey. The Russian organ L<? Xord, of Brussels,
declares tbat the triple alliance cannot be shaken, and
adds that In the event of a conference Russia will on
ergetlrally uphold therein the programme of pacifica
tion originated by England.
THE TURKISH INSURRECTION.
Some explanation is cow offered of tho contradic

was made to perform Siegfried's death march from i
Wagner's "Nlbctungcn."

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD B* CABLE. ]
, Paris, Oct. 29, 1876.
The excitement in regard to the Soiumerard libel
does not abate. It is simple justice to say that the
feeling among the best citizens of the Republic is
one of deep disgust.
THE GOVERNMENT'S ACTION.
The Journal Ctflclel, the government organ under
the Republic, this morning publishes thc'followlng
notice:? .
'?A letter insulting ton great and friendly nation
has been published in a foreign Journal, reproduced
in a French newspaper and attributed to a high
functionary who partially represented this govern
ment at the Philadelphia Exposition. The govern
ment hopes that this document is apochryphal It
has demanded explanations of the functionary in
quest ion, who is at present absent lrom Paris. It
awaits his answer to pronounce a decision on this
regrettable incident."
This official notice fully confirms the opinion ex
pressed in a previous despatch that neither the
French nor United States governments would
permit the letter to pass unchallenged.
AN EXPLANATION DEMANDED.
M. O/.enna, acting la the natno of the Minister of
Commerce, after conferring with tho Duke Decisis,
telegraphed on Saturday evening to M. da Sommerard

London, Oct. 29, 1876,
A despatch from Paris to-dav says:?
"Mr. Washburno, tho American Minister, has drawn
the attention of tho Duke Dccazos to the calumnious
insults contained in a letter attributed to M. Du Som
merard, Chief Commissioner ol Franco to the Centen
nial Exhibition. He did not, however, demand
tho roc.all of M. Du Soinmorard, or any
other mcasuro, but confined himself to pointing out
tho matter, leaving tho French Minister of Foreign
Affairs to determine what reparation was due the
United Stntes. The mannor In which tho Duko re

doubt that cnmpleto reparation will bo afforded and the
affair will be satisfactorily arranged."

A report having reached iho Chronic'< office that a
fraudulent mining claim suit was pending in Huito |
county. In this State, by which a number of poor ]
minora wero threatened with seeing ail their property
and fhture proapegts taken Irotu them by \
a rich and inilucnltal company, a Chron

the following facts:?The party endeavoring to oust !
the poor miners from their claims is the so-called ;
Hendricks Mining Company, aud its President and
legal adviaer Tbomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana. Th
application is for a United Slates patent to what is
called Morr<s Ravine, which is situated in Rutte
county, north of Marysville, and runs into the leather 1
River.
A aim LOCALITY.
Inoarl.vdays the ceutreoftbis ravino was one of
the ricbest'gold bearing grounds ever discovered in the
State, and it is said that orer $4,000,000 wero taken
from bedrock. So rich was 'the ground that the
pockets in the bedrock wore 11!led with gold which
could be taken out without wator. This centra! chan
nel was worked out long ago, of course, but on either
side there is a wido strip of ground which is very rich
in gold, and only needs water to make it among the
richest placer, mines m the State.
Til a POOR Mi.NICKS.
On one side of this ravine a number of poor miners
have held claims for tlfteen or twenty yoars. relying on
a few weeks' rain to wash out gold enough to keep
their families for the nalanco of thn vo ir. They had
taken up these claims under tbo mining laws of tbo
Slate and of the district, and huvo complied with alt
the requirements of thoao rules, laws aud regulations.
Host of them havo been in undisputed possession for
more tbsn fifteen years, bolng on tho claims tvith
their families and trusting to the fnturo to bring water
on the ground to wash the immsuse deposits of rich
gravel.

What was their surprise then, in 1S73, to Gnd that
an application had been filed by n company of Eastern
capitalists, who had previously secured a foothold in
the ravine by purchasing a tew claims and by means
of dummies locating a few more, for a United states
patent lor 1,220 acres, covering tbo purchases and

eamoout,and viewed the ground preparatory to organ
izing the company, satisfied that there were millions in
II. Ho went back, and shortly after tho Hendricks
Mining Company was organized In Indianapolis, and

Governor Hendricks then camo out and satisfied him-,
self of tho richness of the gravel deposit, and
with his ability, by reason of his
position, to get the psich throngh and
shut up tho ravine, the case not having bcon kicked
out of court as many another more worthy one has
been before, It has llceered along till now, and as there
was danger of Us going against Governor Hendricks in

A POLICEMAN KILLED.
A SAD STOHY OF DOMESTIC LIFE?CONSTJMPTIOTf
AMD DEATH.
[From tho Davenport (Iowa) Gazotte, Oct. 27].
.About a year ago there came to this city Mr. Frank
Aldon and wife. They stated that they came to
Davenport on the advice of their physician, for the
benefit of their health?and botli looked like consump
tives, He was of medium height, thin, with pale coun
lenauce that was all the more notlceahlo l>rcuu?e of his I
sharp black eyes aud black hair. The wile was also
pnlo and weak?evidently tar rono in consumption.
They (warded at tlrst, and then rented a house on
Mlxtn street, Just east of Harrison. Hotti appesred as
if they bad been well brought up?conversed well, and
were polite and affable. He did not csre for employ
ment. was Independent of it for he received regular
j instalments ol money Irnm the Kant, fo tney lived
[ rather quietly, he speadtaf a good deal ef time at
billiard* and drinking freely of beer. On# of Ihe l>est
pbymciuu., hi the ritjr atlciidrd Ibe wilt?bis only
office being lo render her as comfortable ?? possible,
lor In- si* ttiai, tier r?*lor iliou to health was ,tupo*ai
ble. Mast spring tbo husband got into a quarrel with hi*
laii'llnr-l and bit bim with a aloni*. gelt in-; arrested and
slightly bnod tbereior. Tina brought liiu. lulu notice,
aud had it not l?c?n for that allair very few poopl" in
Davenport, instead of many, as is n?w tin; rare, wonl l
know to whom I his article refer-. It w.u not long after
the trial lielore Aidon a acquaiuiauces louiid that he
h ut a |>"ruliar dupoattioo, that ho was disposed to bo
ugly on slight provocation; that there was cruelty in
his nature?: 11 abort, uoo who know Ulin pretty well
said lie was "cither a Send or a look" During
llio summer Alden drank liquor Ireely?ami
no light drinks satiation bint. He could walk
straight itiiiter a very heavy load, nothing but bis lace
betraying his h.ibil in tno street. In Mt iueinber u was
'?.'dent Mr*. Aldett was 'list ipprnaclilOg ber last
hour. -She knew it, and longed to go to her mother,
who lived in Rochester. N. V. lu the hrsl week ol llio
present month tliov sold thoir hourehold good*, which
were ol expensive kind, lor less ih.in half then value,
and on Sunday, tbo litU 111*1., they icti for the bast?
ratber slyly, for be left bill* to a considerable amount
unpaid. Nothing was heard from them by tueir ac
quaintances till yesterday, when an uncle ol Alden'*
urriveu tu me city und commenced making inquiries
as to hat nephew's mode ol li e here, annus to whether
he had shown evioenc.es of aberration ol mind or not
lie had u terrible stury to tell about the laic of tho
young couple. It appears that the young woman
wlih Ahlcu waa h's second wile?or. rather, that
he had married her without obtaining a divorce from
a former wile, from whom lie had separated some time
before. Ami so Aldeu did not dare to accompany his
wife to Rochester. N. V., where lie was in longer of
arrest, hut left her at Detroit, almost dead as she was,
to make the remainder of the Journey alone. Mho ar
rived at Rochester, went to her home, and as her
mother clasped her m welcome she died in Ihui moth
cr's urnu before crossing the threshold ol the house.
Her death occurred Wednesday evening, the loth
11.St. As for Alden, he took t'.o Ureal West
ern Railway. Wlicro he was going lie
didn't know. At tho depot in Haniiilnn,
Canada, lie got into a quarrel with a polioeiuau, who
slapped hmi In the face; and ho drew a revolver and
killed the policeman. Ho was arrested, examined and
field lor murder. I.est week he wna indicted for uiur
dor In the Ural degree, and his trial I* set lor Tuesday
next. The uncle was here 10 obtain evidence n* 10
Aldcn's sanity?and bo can find considerable evidence
thai Ins nephew wasn't right in Ins mind
Aldcn's mother lives in Albany, N. Y., and It wa*
from lier lie received his monthly instalments here. A
brother ol Aldeu is caring for him at Hamilton.
