Congress has established 11 stations within the Arctic cir- but none have been established near the rioator. The world, exceptme perhaps the Germans, are tired of Polar expeditions.

I believe they should cease, at least until some other means of locomotion is devised, as air-boats for instance Arctic stai ions are not available for weather stations, as the observations are not continuous and not sufficiently numerous to be of value."

The Mysterious Stranger Continues In Bis Anti-Cleveland Missionary Work Among Labor Organizations, TTnlcli Haie Begun to Protest Against Intro dnclng: Tolitlcs Into Organ Saying that It Will Oaly Bring Confusion and Disorder.

Talk of John Kelly Retiring from Leadership of the Tammany Hail Crowd. the GENERAL. POLITICAL NEWS. StpMal to the Courier! Journal. 1 "Washgton, July 17.

The staner believed to be a prominent Ivniirht of Labor, who followed General Butler here. and has been en- gagvd since ris arrital in town in anti- Cleveland uiissionary work anaons tbe different labor organizations, con tiuues active and mysterious. He is not stepping at any the hotels, and is so Join seen in public places. He was at General Butler's house again this morning and remained thero some There" is evidence, however, that thii business ia being. overdone by General Butler.

The importation of this stranger here for the plain purpose of introducing politics into organiza tions uon-political iu theif character has alreadv called forth oue protest, and others are likely to follow. At a meeting of tbe Brotherhood of Car penters, Local nioa To. 1, lat night, a resolution was adopted setting forth that, as partisan politics or sectarian: discussion are strict! forbidden within the folds of the brotherhood, "we do not concur in the action taken by the federation of liborof this city at the instigation cf political schemers, who seek to bring confusion and disorder in our ranks." Local Union, 20. 1, of the Brotherhood of Carpenters is composed of soma of the worthiest and most prominent mechanics in the city, and this action ou their part, taken by unanimous consent, is certain to create a profound impression here and in New York. While Gen.

Butler is meeting with this kind of a rebuff here, the news as to John Kelly, who is secretly encouraging a similar movement in Nw York city, ia of a like character. The talk is that Kelly is to retire from the leadership of Tamrtvanv. He has gone to Saratoga, where bis family is staying, and it is said by some that he may not return to New York this. summer. In some quarters it Is said that Kelly is to1 be forced out and Tammany organized to strongly support Cleveland.

Others say the boss has for several years wanted to retire from politics and spend the remainder of his days in peace aud quiet, and that now is the time for him to drop out. as be can not support Cleveland. It is a fact that some of the most promi nent and influential national leaders of the Democracy have been laboring diligently in New York to brin? Tammany out squarely for Cleveland, and some of the leading Tammany men. among them Congressman Potter and City Register Reilly, have already declared for Cleveland. Tbey are backed by others, who are growing impatient at Kelly's delay.

Tbe sentiment within tbe organization is di vided, and a biz row is not improbable. John Kelly is held responsible for the entire trouble, and the indications are that the party would most gladly see him retired. Democrats claim that, but for Kelly, Tammany would have ratified the nominations before now, and that within the society a feeling of indignation exists against biro. It is said that the element which insists upon an immediate indorsement of the ticket, sustained and urged on by national party leaders, will make it warm for ttie boss unless ho either yields or gets out of the way.
