plorer who sailed through the north
west passage and eamped two years at
the magnetic polet arrived at Nome in
his sloop tljoa, Aug. .18, with all well on

home on the Tanana last night. Com
missioner Green has been here in at

Aug. IK): “The I'nited States has lost
prestige on account of its attempt at
colonisation. My tour of the Philip

no time in announcing to the people of
those islands and t” the world that it is
our purjiose to treat them as we treated
the t'nbaiis.’'
