Tlie Polar Expedition.
Lieut. George W. DeLoug, of the
United States navy, who lias been de
tailed by the government to command !
the Jeannette on the Arctic expedition,
the entire expense of which is de
frayed by Jamc Gordon Bennett, will
return from the east to San Francisco
the first week in May. Articles of
outfit and travel, such as sledges,
tents, ice-anchors and ice tows, were
Vought in London. Sailing J une loth,
1879, the Jeannette will touch at St.
Paul's island, in the Behring sea, and
at St. Michael's, a trading post in
Alaska, where dogs and dried fish for
their food, fur clothing and more
sledges, will be taken on board.
Then she will touch at St. Lawrence
bay, on the Siberian coast. At the
two last places Esquimaux will be en
gaged to act as dog-drivers and in
terpreters. Lieutenant De Long ex
pects from that point to proceed north
westerly from the straits in search of
Professor Nordcnskjuld, the Swede,
who sailed from Stockholm last July,
to make the never-accomplished north
east passage through the Siberian seas.
If the natives are to be believed, he
has had wonderful success, having,
they report, reached Koflutchia hny,
not many hundred miles distant from
Behring's staits, where he is frozen in,
but probably perfectly safe. He can
Bcarcely extricate himself before the
Jeannette approaches that port in the
middle erf July. If he is found, and
cannot get through, Lieut. De Long
expects to bring back tidings to Alaska.
But if he can be his own herald, the
Jeannette will steam as far north of
Behring's straits as possible, and stay
until the provisions nearly give out,
or some worthy discovery is made. In
this direction, probably, the seventy
first parallel has never been passed.
A whaler, Captain Long, reported
land to the westward about this lati
tude, which has been named Kellets
land. Lieutenant DeLong hopes to
winter m this inlet along this supposed
continent like Greenland, and make
a dash for the pole the following sum
mer. He does not wish to express
any opinion about an open sea, be
lieving that polar conditions vary
greatly according to marked climatic
variations of the season in different
years, and is- satisfied to report what
he finds after he gets back.
The Jeannette has become, for the
time of the explorations, a. part of the
United States nivjT; the authorities
at "Washington have assigned naval
officers to her, and hold these respon
sible to them for the following out of
the Secretary's instructions, and the
conduct of the expedition. The only
difference between the cruise of the
Jeannette and that of an American
man-of-war will be, that the money to
meet the expenses ivill be drawn as
heeded br order on a private gentle
man.' The Jeannette, named after Mr.
Bennett's sister, was originally H. M.
S. Pandora, and went through the
hands of two or three owners from
the Queen, and, after having some ex
perience in Arctic waters, to Mr. Ben
nett, who purchased her for this pur
pose. Lieutenant De Long, who had
been nominated for the command by
Mr. Bennett, joined the newly-christened
craft at Havre. She is a hand
some, rakish-looking little ship. She
lies low, the rail making graceful
curves, is 420 tons burden, 143 feet
long, 25 feet boam, and draws 13 feet
of water when fully loaded. She has
three masts, raldshly set, and in rig is
what the English call a barkentine,
with rolling topsails, and will be easy
to manage. She is provided, besides,
with boilers and screw, which will en
able thp navigators to make all possi
ble speed, compatible with safety,
during the advance, within the brief
season of Arctic summer, on the theo
retic North Pole. She has room only
for a limited supply ot coal. During
the Bail of lGo days, from London to
San Francisco, she steamed 18 days
during calms and through the Straits
of Magellan. Lieutenant De Long
will husband the coal for the ice re
gions, where he expects to use steam
almost altogether. Very heavy gales
were experienced in this last long voy
age, the Jeannette behaving splendid
ly, and drawing from her commander
the compliment of being the finest ves
sel he had ever been to sea in.
Tho Mexican Army
It is difficult to credit the statement
that the Mexican government has re
organized its army on a scale of ex
penditure which only a firstclass nation
can sustain. The Mexican govern
ment, however, has just published the
names of seventeen gcneralsof division,
with a salary of SG,0C0 each, and forty
five generals of brigade, with $4,500
making a total of 295,000 yearly, for
general olficers alone. We have not
tho details of the rank and file, but
unless the army is organized on the
principle which Offenbach satirized in
his "Grand Duchess of Gciolstine,"
that is, with a general and staff to each
twelve men, the armjT must absorb a
large portion of the Mexican revenues.
This extravagance is the more to be
regretted as the present adniinstration
has shown some statesmanlike qualities
and an intelligent comprehension of
the measures by which the commerce
and industries of Mexico may be
fostered. Among the measures pro
posed is an exposition in the city of
Mexico, which, if the country continues
peaceful, will attract visitors in large
numbers from Europe and the United
States. This country is also on better
terms with Mexico than we have been
for years, and it is said that a better
feeling exists among Mexicans toward
the United States than has been mani
fested before since the war. It is cer
tainly to be hoped that the government
will not goad the people into another
revolution.
