THE Marquis de Mores has gone to
New York.
IF KELLY and Butler had been nomi­
nated the ticket would have been certain
of receiving two votes.
CAMPAIGN poets are "all broke up"
trying to find words to rhyme with
Cleveland and Hendricks.
EASTEKN watering places are having
poor patronage.—Press. The people
have seen the effects of the water theory
inlowa.
THE St. Paul wholesalers, having made
a tour of southern Minnesota, are re­
spectfully invited to come up and take a
look at northern Dakota.
THE Press and Dakotaian says that
"com looks finely in the upper Jim val­
ley." but does not say whether its-eyes
are black, hazel, or a soft sky blue.
AN exchange says that soap-bubble
parties are all the rage down east, and it
might add that presidential bubble par­
ties have been all. the rage in Chicago.
AT a meeting of the Northern Pacific
directors Tuesday the lands for agricul­
tural purposes were graded, a step which
permits cattle raisers and ranchmen to
purchase their own territory.
THE public schools are now closed and
the schoolmdnns have two months to
.study overl^ich is the best for them, to
get marri|d and be bossed by a man or
remain siiygle and. boss the boys.
"UNCLE HBNBT" Logan, the colored
messenger of the register's office in Wash­
ington, who handles more money than
any other man living, earns $720 a year
and lives in a $10 a month cottage.
"To SHOW the credit of Dakota in
financial circles," says Territorial Treas­
urer McVayj "we have never sold any six
per cent, bonds for less than par!" Truly
we are a favored people in a gooily
land. ^2,
THE Chicago Times in "fashion notes"
says: "Skirts grow fuller, and plaited
designs are most frequently seen.
With the vast amount of" unoccupied

aging.
AUGUSTA, Georgia, taxe$ commercial
travelers $3.00 per day while in the city
seeking business.—Ex. The boys up this
way would like to get through on that
amount. Beers must be "two for a
nickel" in Augusta.
BUTLER said before the convention
that if nominated he could "beat the
deviL"—Exchange. Ben knows what
he's talking about, but fortunately for
the country neither he nor. his satamc
chum is in the field.
Gra, who will have the management
of the
New
York Metropolitan opera
house next season, is to receive $3,000
weekly. Mme. Albini receives $1,500
nightly. And yet we hear of hard times
and a scarcity of money. •?.?.
THE Pioneer Press says that it has
been finally determined to make Belfield
the transhipping point for all Black
TT-nig freight coming over the Northern
Pacific. This is believed to be the
shortest and best route, and the total
distance is 178 miles.
IT certainly would seem that some of
the existing laws upon the subject of
food adulteration should be enforced
when it is known that a 'Mount Mitchell,
N. C., firm ships to New York 300 barrels
a week of a white rock found there to be
used in adulterating sugar.

ST. PAUL, Julyj 16.—The Minneapolis Jour­
nal's St. Paul correspondent gives the details
of defalcations bj D. E. Swan, chief clerk and
local treasurer of the Northern Pacific railroad
company here. Officials are ralicent, but the
shortage is believed to run up into the thous­

Swan and lady left St. Paul last night, the
former having gene out to some intervening
place., Deoteotivea are on his track but of
course won't tell where they expect to find
him. It is rumored that Mr. Swan has been
operating in Wall street or other speculations
in connection with some broker.
LATEB.
D. E. Swan, the defaulter in the Northern
Pacific treasurer's office, was arrested tonight at
White Bear, where be went in a carriage and
secreted himself in the woods. He had at­
tempted suicide by an overdose of morphine.
The amount of default disclosed by an exami­
nation of the books tonight is a fraction over
95,000. He will be brought back here tomor­
row morning tor examination, and will be
prosecuted by the company to the extent of the
law. Swan was once wealthy, but lost his
money by default in a New Jersey bank. He
was speculating on'Wall street, by which he lost
the company's money.
A Gentleman in livery Particular.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 16.—The Journal's Fergus
Falls special says: E. Austin, well -known
tbronghout the northwest as agent for the
Diebold Safe company, has done up several
parties along the line. Some time ago he sold
a safe to Shadbolt, the jeweler here and took
his old one, but subsequently sold the old one
back to him, taking it in cash and jewelry to
the amount of $125. At Fargo he did un­
usually well, trading s«fes and getting cash to
boot, which he kept. At St Paul be was intro
dno:d by a friend whom he had made, to a
leading tailor and got away with two good
suits
of clcthee. He afterward got

a check to the amount of 9200 and started
for Chicago, saying he would be
back Saterday night and go to
Hinnetonka with him. His friend was
at
the
train but Austin did not show up. The
Diebold company has notified parties that he is
no longer in their employ. He represented
as an owner of a ranch in Montana and
appeared a perfect gentleman in every par­
ticular.
Democrats and KivU Servlce.
WASHINGTON,, July 16.—Senator Pendleton,
who has just returned from Chicago, was in­
terviewed by an associated press reporter and
expressed himself as follows concerning the
declaration of the convention on the question of
civil
serrice reform. "That declaration was
satisfactory to pivil service reform and the
nominations were alike satisfactory to them."
He said,both Cleveland
and
Hendricks were
strongly committed to reform in the civil ser­
vice and asked who would desire more absolute
committal.to the doctrines of reformers than the
Mts of Governor Cleveland and the declara­
tions of Hendricks. Senator Pendleton re­
ferred to a speech by Governor Hendrinss in
i^sg^W? '74?^3-^^
BISMARCK,
1872 and bis letter of acceptance in 1876, in
support of the assertion that the governor

Butler's Candidacy.
CHICAGO, July 16.—Information has been re
ceived from close friends of General Butler by
B. F. Shively, secrerary of the anti-monopolists'
committee, dispelling donbts regarding Bntler's
candidacy for president on the independent
ticket, and stating definitely and positively
that he will run. Shively, who is at the Briggs
house, this city, expressed today the moat
absolute certainty that Butler will be a candi­
date with the endorsement of the greenbackers,
anti-monolis^ and probably the laboring men.
Bntler's refusal at present to make a publie
statement, Shively says, is prompted by a desire
to first see what will be done by the convention
of labor representatives, to be held in 'Chi­
cago, July 30.
North Dakota Press Association.
GBAND FORKS, JnJy 16.—The North Dakota
Press association met and elected officers,
adopted a constitution and by-laws and ap­
pointed an executive committee to adopt a
schedule of advertising and printing rates and
consider the news and ready print question.

completely for mutual benefit.
Wallace For Chairman.
WASHINGTON, July 16.—JL'hj Star says the
impression seems to be that Ex-Senator Wallace
will be elected chairman pf the national demo­
cratic national committee. It is thought that
Governor Cleveland prefers Manning oft Neir
York. From good authority it is learned that
Randall forbids the use of his same. He will
not stand in Wallace's way. At Chicago Ban­
dall was ably and loyally supported by Wallace
and it is said the former will now do all he can
to have the latter made chairman of the com­
mittee.
Quarantined.
MADRID, July 16.—The French ambassador^
Brazilian minister and other diplomats, with a
number of French officers, the French consul
general and a large party of friends arrived at
Zareny today. While the French ambassador
was paying his respects to Queen Isabella, the
rest of the party eti barked on the French
cutter for a short sail. When they returned the
Spanish officers refused to allow them to land,
owing to quarantine.

ment has boen informed by one of its agents

posed to be collected in cholera infected dis­
tricts of Egypt, Turkey and south France are

WASHINGTON, July 17.—The acting secretary
of the ravy has just received a telegram from
St. Johns stating that the Greeley relief expedi­
tion has been found. The survivors of the
Greely party number seven instead of eight, as
previously reported. Their names are Lewis,
Greeley, Sergeant Barnard, Sergeant Frederick,
Sergeant .Long,' Sergeant Ellison, Hospital
Stewart Beibeack and Private CorneU. They
were
found by the relief ships Thetis and Bear
five miles off Gape Sabine, in Smith's sound.
SergeanrEllison was very badly f-oetbitten and
died at Godhaven, July 6, after undergoing a
surgical operation. The relief ships Thetis and
ar, with the survivors, are now at St. Johnr.
FULLEB PARTICULARS.
WASHINGTON, July 17.—The following tele­
gram was received at the navy department this
morning:
St. Johns, N. B., July 17,9 a. m.—To Hon.
William E. Chandler, Secretary- of the Navy,
Washington: The Thetis, Bear and Lockgarry
arrived here today from West Greenland, all
well. They separated from the Alert 150.miles
north during a gale at 9 p. m. July 22, five
miles off Cape Sabine, in Smith's Sound. The
Thetis and Bear rescued alive Lieutenant Gree­
ley, Sergeant Braiierd, Sergeant Fredericks,Ser­
geant Long, Hospital Steward Beidebacb,
Private Cornell and Sergeant Ellison.
The only survivors of tho Lady Franklin Bay
expedition. Sergeant Ellison had lost both
hands and
feet by frost bite and died July 6th
at Godhaven, three days after the amputation
which had become imperative. Seventeen of
the twenty-five persons composing the expedi
dition perished by starvation at the point
where found. One was drowned while seeking
to procure food. Twelve bodies of the dead
were recovered and are now on board the
Thetis and Bear. Eskimo Tnrvevik was buried
at Disceo in accordance, with the desire of the
inspector of Western Greenland. Five as fol­
lows: Sergeant Cross, January 12 1884
Weduck Eskimo, April 5 Sergeant Linn, April
5 Lieutenant Lockwood, April 9 Sergeant
Jewell, April 21 Private Ellis, May 19: Ser­
geant Ralston, May 20. The bodies were bur­
ied in the ice fort near the camp and were
swept away to sea by the wind and currents
before my arrival and could not be recovered.
With date of death: Private Sherry, Jane 6
Private
Schneider, June 18, axe the names, of
the burled in the ice fort with date of
death.. The bodies not recovered were as fol­
lows: Sergeant Rice, April 9, 1884
Corporal Salen, June 3 Pri­
vate Broder, June 6 Assistant Surgeon
Pavey, June 6th Sergeant Gardner, June 26th
drowned by breaking through newly formed
ice while sealing, John Edwards, Eskimo, April
24th.
I
would urgently snggest that the bodies
now on board be placed in metallic cases here
for safer and better transportation in a seaway.
This appears to mete be imperative. Greeley
abandoned Fort Conger August 8th,18S3, aud
Baird Inlet September 29th following
with the entire party well. He abandoned all
his boats and was thirty days on an ice floe in
Smith's sound. The permanent camp was es­
tablished on Oetober 12th, 1883, at the point
where he was found. During 'nine months bis
party had to live upon a scant allowance oE food
brought from
Fort
Violent
Conger that cached at Payer
harbor and Cape Isab?lle by the steamer Geo.
Nares in 1875, but found much damaged by the
lapse of time that cached by Beebe at Gape
ia 1882 a sma)l amount saved from the
wreck of the Proteus in 1883 and landed by
T.jflntn. Garlington and Uolwell on the beach
near where Greeley's party was found. When
their provisions were consumed the
party was forced to live upon
boiled seal skin stripped from seal skin
clothes and liohen and shrimps caught in good
weather when they were strong enough to make
the exertions. As it took ISO shrimps to fill a
gallon
measure the labor was too exhausting
to depend on them and sustain life en­
tirely. The channel between Cape Sabine and
Littleton's island did not close on account of
gales all winter, so that the 240 rations
it the latter point could not be reached.
AII of Grreeley'a reoordsand all of his in­
struments brought by him from Fort Conger
recovered and are on board, from Hue
rt
1
islands to Smith's sound I had a oonatant and
furious strucrgle with the ioe. The impassible
floe and solid barriers were overcome by watch­
fulness and patience. No opportunity to ad
vanoe a mile escaped me, and during several
hundred miles the ships were forced to ram
their way from lead to lead through ice
varying in thickness from three to six feet and
when rafted much greater. The Bear reached
Cape York June 18, after a passage of twenty
one days in Melville bay, with two ad vanoe
ships of the Dundee whaling fleet,and continued
to Cape Sabine. Returning
seven
daya later,
fell in with seven othersof this fleet off Wosten
holm island and announced Greeley's rescue,
bat they might not be delayed from their
fiBhing grounds nor be tempted into the dangers
of Smith's sound in view of the reward of
$25,010 offered by congress. Returning across
Melville Bay, fell in with the Alert and Lock­
garry off Devil's Thumb, struggling through
heavy ice. Commander Coffin did admirably
to get along so far with the transport so early
in the season before the opening had occurred.
Lieutenant Emery with the Bear has supported
me throughout with great skillfulness and
unflinching readiness in accomplishing the great
duty of relieving Greeley. The Greeley
party are very much improved since resoue, but
were critical in the extreme when found and
for several days after. Forty-eight hours' delay
in reaching them would have been fatal to all
now living. The season north is late and closes
for the year. Smith's sound was net open when
I left Cape Sabine. The winter about Melville
bay was the most severe for twenty years. This
great result is entirely doe to the unrewarded
energy of yourself and the secretary of war in'
fitting out this expedition for the work it has
had the honor to accomplish.

WASHINGTON, July 17.—General Hazen, chiet
signal officer, reoeived a dispatch from Lieuten­
ant Greeley as follows:
ST. JOHN, N. F., July 17.—Chief Signal Offioer,
Washington, D. G.: Brainoia, Beidebacb, Cor-,
nell, Frederick, Long and myself, sole survivors,
arrived today, having been rescued at point of

Victoria head August 29 abandoned the
vessel September 11, eleven miles northeast of
Cocked Hat island. When on the point of
landing were three times driven by the south­
west storms into the Kan is sea. We finally
landed September 29th in Baird inlet. Learning
by oouting parties of the Proetus disaster and
that no provisions had been left for us from
Cape Isabella to Sabine, wa moved and
established winter quarters at Gamp Glay, 'half
way between Sabine and Cooked Hat. Inves­
tigation showed that by. daily rations of four
and one-third ounces of meat, aeven ounces of
bread, a dozen biscuits and four ouncea of
miscellaneous, the party would have ten j|9ys
jhtU rations lefV^. i* crossing
Sinith's Sound to Littleton's Isle.
Unfortunately Smith's sound remained open
the entire.winter, rendering crossing impracti­
cable. Game failed, despite daily hunting, and
only fifty pounds of meat waa obtained this
year. Lichens and seal skin were resorted to
for food, with results as shown by the number
ofsurvhors. The last regular food was issued
May 14. Only 150 pounds of meat was left
by Garlington, and we were compelled to send,
in November, four men to obtain 144 pounds of
English meat .at Isabella. During the trip
Ellison froze solid both hands and feet and lost
them all, surviving, however, through our terri­
ble winter and spring until Jnnes. The sur­
vivors owe their lives to the indomitable energy
of Captain Schley and Lieutenant Emery, who
preoeeded by three and accompanied by five
whalers, forced their vessels from Upper Navik
through Melville bay into the north water
at Cape York. With the foremost
whaler they gained a yard when possible
and alwaya held it. Smith's sound was crossed
and the party rescued during one of the most
violent galea 1 have ev.r known. The boats
were bandied only at the imminent risk of
swamping. Four of us were (then unable to
walk and could not have survived more than
twenty-four houra. Every care and attention
was given us. We are saved and wiU bring back
