During his high school career, <mask> played in four New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association championship matches and led his team to the 1984 Group 4 State Championship and a 24–0 record. He was the 1984 Parade High School Player of the Year. In 1999, he was named by The Star-Ledger as one of the top ten New Jersey high school soccer players of the 1980s. Professional career

England: 1990–1996
Harkes moved to Sheffield Wednesday of the English Football League in 1990. In a game that season against Derby County, his 35-yard blast glided into the net past former England World Cup goalkeeper Peter Shilton and earned him English football's "Goal of the Season" award.That season, <mask> became the third American (after Bill Regan for Romford F.C. in the 1948–49 FA Amateur Cup final and Mike Masters for Colchester United in the 1991-92 FA Trophy final) to play at Wembley Stadium when Sheffield Wednesday reached the 1991 League Cup final. There, the Second Division (now Football League Championship) Wednesday upset the First Division (now Premier League) side Manchester United 1–0. Also that year, Wednesday won promotion to the First Division. In 1993, <mask> became the only American to score in a League Cup Final, in a 2–1 loss to Arsenal. His goal was the second by an American at Wembley Stadium following Mike Masters' goal for Colchester United in the F.A. Trophy Final the year before.He appeared in the FA Cup Final one month after that League Cup disappointment, with Sheffield Wednesday again losing to Arsenal (2–1 in the replay, after a 1–1 draw in the first game). <mask> played one more season in England after moving to Derby County in the summer of 1993. In 1995, Major League Soccer (MLS) began preparing for its first season, which it first thought would come in the fall of 1995. As part of that process, MLS signed prominent U.S. players to league contracts. <mask> was one of the players who signed with MLS, only to discover the league would not begin play until 1996. Therefore, he, and MLS, negotiated a one-year loan to West Ham United. Major League Soccer: 1996–2003

In 1996, <mask>, along with his U.S. national teammates based overseas, returned to the U.S. for the launch of Major League Soccer.MLS had signed numerous prominent U.S. players and eventually allocated them throughout the league's teams in order to create an initial equitable distribution of talent. MLS allocated <mask> to D.C. United, making him the team's first player ever. That first season, he led the club to a MLS Cup win and a U.S. Open Cup title. D.C. United successfully defended its MLS Cup title in 1997, with <mask> assisting on the match-winning goal in the cup final. Despite the disappointment of being left off the 1998 World Cup squad, <mask> helped United capture the Supporters Shield for the best regular season record in the league, before losing in the MLS Cup Final to the Chicago Fire. He also helped United become the first MLS club to win the CONCACAF Champions' Cup and upset Brazil's Vasco Da Gama in the Interamerican Cup. At the end of the 1998 season, he traveled back to England for a two-week trial with Nottingham Forest.On January 28, 1999, the team accepted <mask> for a two-month loan period. He played only three games for Forest (including the infamous 8–1 defeat to Manchester United) before returning to the U.S. While he was in England, D.C. United traded him to the New England Revolution for the Revs first and second round 1999 MLS College Draft picks. United traded Harkes in order to make room under the salary cap. <mask> played three seasons in New England before being traded to the Columbus Crew in the mid-season of 2001. After an injury-plagued 2002 season, <mask> announced his retirement in 2003.

International career

<mask> played in the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups and was controversially cut from the team weeks before the 1998 tournament by national team coach Steve Sampson. <mask> made his national team debut on March 23, 1987 against Canada.He was on the U.S. team at the 1987 Pan American Games. He quickly established himself as a national team regular and was selected for the 1988 Olympics. That year the U.S. went 1–1–1 and failed to qualify for the second round. <mask> continued to play for the national team as it went through the qualification process for the upcoming World Cup. The team qualified for those games after an improbable 1–0 road victory over Trinidad and Tobago in the final qualification match. In 1990, he was a member of a World Cup squad made up mostly of college and semi-professional players. The United States side was routed 1–5 by Czechoslovakia, but were respectable losing 0–1 to host nation and eventual semi-finalist Italy, and 1–2 to Austria.Despite losing all three matches, many players from the 1990 squad, including <mask>, Ramos, Meola, Marcelo Balboa and Eric Wynalda, formed the core of the U.S. national team for most of the decade and played an important role in the development of MLS. U.S. fared better as the host nation in the 1994 World Cup, upsetting Colombia 2–1 in a group stage match to advance to the Round of 16. <mask> contributed to the Andrés Escobar own goal which arguably led to the Colombian defender's shooting death weeks later. <mask> delivered a cross from the left aimed at Earnie Stewart, which Escobar attempted to clear, but instead sent the ball past his goalkeeper. However, <mask> missed the Round of 16 match against Brazil after receiving his second yellow card of the group stage against Romania, earning a one-match suspension. Brazil won the match 1–0 and went on to win the World Cup. In Copa América 1995, <mask> led the United States, a guest team at the tournament, to a 3–0 upset of defending champion Argentina and a semi-final finish.He was named co-Most Valuable Player of the tournament, along with Uruguayan Enzo Francescoli. 1998 World Cup controversy
In 1996, before the beginning of the qualifying for the 1998 World Cup, head coach Steve Sampson named <mask> "Captain For Life", which meant <mask> would be the captain of the national team as long as he wished and Sampson was the coach. He responded by leading the team in assists in qualifying and helped the United States qualify for a third straight World Cup finals appearance. However, Sampson controversially left <mask> off the World Cup squad, citing "leadership issues", although the decision was never fully explained at the time. The bitterness resulting from the omission and the irony of the "Captain for Life" title would serve as the inspiration for his autobiography, Captain for Life: And Other Temporary Assignments (), co-written with Denise Kiernan and published in 1999. In the book, <mask> criticized Sampson for lacking "credibility to a group of guys who had hundreds and hundreds of caps among them" and "putting a huge amount of pressure on young, internationally inexperienced players", and concluded, "I can't think of one thing that Steve did right in the months leading up to the World Cup". The 1998 team lost all three games in the group stage, finishing last overall.In February 2010 Sampson and former teammate Eric Wynalda revealed that an alleged affair between Harkes and Wynalda's wife, Amy, had prompted <mask>' sudden dismissal. Sampson confirmed Wynalda's claim in a 2016 podcast interview with Alexi Lalas. <mask> was called up to the national team again by his former college coach, Bruce Arena in 1999, and helped the United States win the bronze medal in the Confederations Cup that year. He ended his international career in 2000 with 90 appearances. International goals

Off the field
In September 1997, <mask> prepared for the 1998 World Cup with an ill-advised trip to California that ultimately defined his legacy. In 2010, it was finally revealed by Eric Wynalda that former US national team manager Steve Sampson had cut <mask> from the 1998 World Cup team only two months prior to the tournament because <mask> had been having relations with teammate Eric's wife, Amy, in the couple's house, and near the playpen of their young child. Sampson became aware of the scandal and brewing feud between Wynalda and <mask>, and chose to cut Harkes to restore locker room accord.Despite intense criticism from the media and subsequent failure in the World Cup, Sampson remained silent regarding the true reason for <mask>' dismissal from the team out of respect for the privacy of those involved. <mask> himself would publish an autobiography in 1999 panning Sampson's tenure as manager, but made no mention of the affair. Personal life
<mask> is a first-generation-born American as both his parents are Scottish immigrants (his father Jim is originally from Dundee). He is the father of <mask>, who played collegiately at Clemson University, and <mask>, who won the Hermann Trophy in 2016, played for <mask>'s old team, D.C. United, and in 2020 was playing for Dundee United in Scotland. References

<mask> (; born in 1975 in Beijing) is a Chinese architect and founder of MAD architects. He serves as adjunct professor at School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, and the visiting professor at Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture. Early life and background
<mask> was born in Beijing in 1975. He graduated from the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and holds a master's degree in Architecture from Yale University. He is currently a professor at the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture. During his master's degree in Yale, he first received attention for his project "Floating Islands". He founded MAD Architects in 2004.Design philosophy: Shanshui City
The famous Chinese scientist Qian Xuesen proposed the concept of "Shanshui City" in the 1980s. In view of the emerging large-scale cement construction, he put forward a new model of urban development based on Chinese Shanshui spirit, which was meant to allow people to "stay out of nature and return to nature." However, this idealistic urban concept was not put into practice. As the world's largest manufacturing base, a large number of soulless "shelf cities" appeared in contemporary China due to the lack of cultural spirit. Qian Xuesen pointed out that modern cities' worship of power and capital leads to maximization and utilitarianism. "Buildings in cities should not become living machines. Even the most powerful technology and tools can never endow the city with a soul."To <mask>song, Shanshui does not just refer to nature; it is also the individual's emotional response to the surrounding world. "Shanshui City" is a combination of city density, functionality and the artistic conception of natural landscape. It aims at composing a future city that takes human spirit and emotion at their cores. Signature Projects

<mask>'<mask> (15 September 1765 – 21 December 1805), most often referred to simply as Bocage, was a Portuguese Neoclassic poet, writing at the beginning of his career under the pen name Elmano Sadino. Biography

Bocage was born in the Portuguese city of Setúbal, in 1765, to <mask> and <mask>ff <mask>, of French family. Bocage began to make verses in infancy, and being somewhat of a prodigy grew up to be flattered, self-conscious and unstable. At the age of fourteen, he suddenly left school and joined the 7th Infantry Regiment; but tiring of garrison life at Setúbal after two years, he decided to enter the Portuguese navy. He proceeded to the Royal Marine Academy in Lisbon but instead of studying he pursued romantic adventures. For the next five years he had numerous love affairs, and his retentive memory and extraordinary talent for improvisation gained him a host of admirers and turned his head. Brazilian modinhas, short rhyming poems sung accompanied by a guitar at family parties, were very popular at the time, and Bocage added to his fame by writing a number of these, by his skill in extemporizing verses on a given theme, and by allegorical idyllic pieces, the subjects of which are similar to those of Watteau's and Boucher's pictures.In 1786 he was appointed guarda-marinha in the Portuguese India navy, and he reached Goa by way of the colony of Brazil in October. There he came into an ignorant society full of petty intrigue, where his particular talents found no scope to display themselves; the glamour of the East left him unmoved and the climate brought on a serious illness. In these circumstances he compared the heroic traditions of Portugal in Asia, which had induced him to leave home, with the reality, and wrote his satirical sonnets on The Decadence of the Portuguese Empire in Asia, and those addressed to Afonso de Albuquerque and D. João de Castro. The irritation caused by these satires, together with rivalries in love affairs, made it advisable for him to leave Goa, and early in 1789 he obtained the post of lieutenant of the infantry company at Damão, India; but he promptly deserted and made his way to Macau, where he arrived in July–August. According to a contemporary tradition, much of the "Os Lusíadas" had been written there, and Bocage probably travelled to China following in the footsteps of another classic Portuguese poet, Luís de Camões, to whose life and misfortunes he loved to compare his own. Though he escaped the penalty of his desertion, he had no resources and lived on the charity of friends, whose help enabled him to return to Lisbon in the middle of the following year. Once back in Portugal he regained his old popularity, and resumed his vagabond existence.The age was one of reaction against the Marquis of Pombal's  reforms, and his superintendent of police, Pina Manique, in his determination to keep out French revolutionary and atheistic propaganda, forbade the importation of foreign classics and the discussion of all liberal ideas. Hence the only vehicle of expression left was satire, which Bocage employed with an unsparing hand. His poverty compelled him to live with friends like the turbulent friar José Agostinho de Macedo, and he soon fell under suspicion from Manique. He became a member of the New Arcadia, a literary society founded in 1790, under the name of Elmano Sadino, but left it three years later. Though including in its ranks most of the poets of the time, the New Arcadia produced little of real merit, and before long its adherents became mutual enemies and descended to an angry war of words. But Bocage's reputation among the general public and with foreign travellers grew year by year. William Beckford, the author of "Vathek", for instance, describes him as a "pale, limber, odd-looking young man, the queerest but perhaps the most original of God's poetical creatures.This strange and versatile character may be said to possess the true wand of enchantment which at the will of its master either animates or petrifies." In 1797 enemies of Bocage belonging to New Arcadia denounced him to Manique, who on the pretext afforded by some anti-religious verses, the Epistola a Marilia, along with accusations of immorality, arrested him when he was about to flee the country and flung him in the Limoeiro jail, where he spent his thirty-second birthday. His sufferings induced him to a speedy recantation, and after much importuning of friends, he obtained his transfer in November from the state prison to that of the Portuguese Inquisition, by then a lenient institution, and shortly afterwards recovered his liberty. He returned to his bohemian life and subsisted by writing empty Elogios Dramáticos for the theatres, printing volumes of verses and translating the didactic poems of Delille, Castel and others, along with some second-rate French plays. These resources and the help of brother Freemasons enabled him to survive, and a purifying influence came into his life in the shape of a real affection for the two beautiful daughters of D. António Bersane Leite, which drew from him verses of true feeling mixed with regrets for the past. He would have married the younger lady, D. Anna Perpétua (Analia), but his earlier excesses had ruined his health. In 1801 his poetical rivalry with Macedo became more acute and personal, and ended by drawing from Bocage a stinging extempore poem, Pena de Talião, which remains a monument to his powers of invective.In 1804 the illness (syphilis) from which he suffered worsened, and the approach of death inspired some beautiful sonnets, including one directed to D<mask>, elder sister of Analia, who visited and consoled him. He became reconciled to his enemies, and died on 21 December 1805 of an aneurysm. He died in poverty on the eve of the French invasion, in a similar way to how Camões' death came just before the occupation of Portugal by the Duke of Alva's army. The gulf that divides the life and achievements of these two poets is accounted for less by difference of talent and temperament than by their environment, and illustrates the decline of Portugal in the two centuries that separate 1580 from 1805. To Beckford, Bocage was a powerful genius, and Link was struck by his nervous expression, harmonious versification and the fire of his poetry. He employed every variety of lyric and made his mark in all of them. His roundels are good, his epigrams witty, his satires rigorous and searching, his odes often full of nobility, but his fame must rest on his sonnets, which almost rival those of Camões in power, elevation of thought and tender melancholy, though they lack the latter's scholarly refinement of phrasing.So dazzled were contemporary critics by his brilliant and inspired extemporizations that they ignored Bocage's licentiousness, and overlooked both the superficiality of his creative output and the artificial character of most of his poetry. In 1871 a monument was erected to the poet in the main square in Setúbal, and the centenary of his death was observed there with great ceremony in 1905. Perhaps because of the sheer rudeness of some of his verse Bocage is still a genuinely popular figure today, and not only in Setúbal. The subversiveness of his poems has meant that for much of the last 200 years they have not been (officially) available in Portugal: his erotic poetry was first published anonymously towards the end of the 19th century.

Free translation of a poem where Bocage draws his self-portrait. Free translation in English:
Thin, blue eyes, tanned face,
His fair share of feet, middling height,
Sad of face, the same of figure,
High nose in the middle, and not small;

Incapable of staying in just one place,
More prone to furor than to tenderness;
Drinking in his pale hands, out of a dark cup,
From hellish zeal lethal poison;

Devote incense burner to a thousand deities
(I mean, a thousand girls) in a single moment,
Loving the friars only at the altar,

This is Bocage, in whom some talent shines;
From himself these truths have come,
On a day that he felt more dull. Original in Portuguese:
 Magro, de olhos azuis, carão moreno,
 Bem servido de pés, meão na altura,
 Triste de facha, o mesmo de figura,
 Nariz alto no meio, e não pequeno;

 Incapaz de assistir num só terreno,
 Mais propenso ao furor do que à ternura;
 Bebendo em níveas mãos, por taça escura,
 De zelos infernais letal veneno;

 Devoto incensador de mil deidades
 (Digo, de moças mil) num só memento,
 E somente no altar amando os frades,

 Eis Bocage, em quem luz algum talento;
 Saíram dele mesmo estas verdades,
 Num dia em que se achou mais pachorrento.External links

<mask> (March 16, 1829 – September 27, 1897) was an American Republican Party politician and lawyer from New Jersey. A brigadier general in the New Jersey Militia during the American Civil War, he served as Secretary of the Navy, appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant, from 1869 to 1877. He also served two terms as a U.S. Representative for New Jersey from 1879 to 1883. <mask>, a native of New Jersey, graduated from Princeton University at the young age of 18. <mask> studied law and passed the bar in 1850. Practicing law, <mask> diligently worked his way through the legal profession and in 1858 he was appointed a public prosecutor for Camden County. During the American Civil War <mask> associated with the Republican Party and was a member of the New Jersey Sanitary Commission.Appointed Brigadier General by Governor Charles S. Olden, <mask> worked to recruit enlistments to fight for the Union. After the war in 1867, <mask> was appointed New Jersey Attorney General by Gov. <mask>. Ward. <mask>, as Attorney General, gained national attention after successfully prosecuting Bridget Durgan for the brutal murder of Mrs. Coriell. Supported by New Jersey Senator A.G. Cattell, <mask> was appointed Secretary of Navy by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1869 after Sec. Adolph E. Borie had resigned office. His tenure lasted about seven and a half years, second in length only, to that of Gideon Welles during the 19th century.He was known to be a hot-tempered, industrious administrator and through his departmental leadership was able to contain the established Naval officer hierarchy. Having limited Congressional funding, he supported and developed the early stages of submarine and torpedo technology, in keeping U.S. harbors safe from foreign attack and secured $50,000 in Congressional funding for the 1871 Polaris expedition led by Charles Francis Hall. The U.S. Navy, however, was not able to keep pace with the modernization of industrial European navies. <mask> headed the investigation about the controversial death of Hall after the return of the shipwrecked  crew in 1873. <mask> supported President Grant and the Radical Republican Reconstruction laws that supported the citizenship and voting rights of African American freedmen. Under <mask>, the U.S. Navy constructed the United States' first two propelled torpedo warships. In 1874, <mask> responded to the naval threat imposed by Spain during the Virginius Affair; having implemented U.S.Naval resurgence, however, Congress refused to pay for the completion of the five new ships. <mask> served briefly as both Secretary of Navy and as ad interim Secretary of War after Secretary of War William W. Belknap abruptly resigned in 1876. <mask> was the subject of two Congressional investigations in 1876 and 1878 on profiting and bribery charges from shipbuilding contracts but was exonerated for lack of material evidence. Elected in 1878, Representative for New Jersey, U.S. Congressman <mask> served as minority leader of the Republican Party. <mask>'s grandfather was <mask><mask> and he was the nephew of John Patterson <mask>, both having represented New Jersey in the House of Representatives. Defeated from office by Democrat Thomas M. Ferrell in a bitter highly contested 1882 election campaign, <mask> was left $60,000 in debt and forced to sell his Washington D.C. property.As a result of his financial troubles, his wife and family abandoned him while traveling abroad. <mask> moved to Trenton, resumed his law practice, and lived a modest lifestyle until his death in 1897. Early life

<mask><mask> was born on March 16, 1829, in Oxford Furnace, New Jersey, near Belvidere in Warren County. <mask>'s family was of Scottish origin and he was a descendant of <mask>, the surveyor-general of New Jersey in 1668. His father was Philadelphia Judge William Penn <mask> and his mother was the daughter of U.S. Congressman <mask><mask>, who served in the 12th U.S. Congress from 1811 to 1813 representing Hunterdon, New Jersey. His brother William P<mask>, Jr. was a brevetted Brigadier general in the Union Army.<mask> was the nephew of U.S. Congressman John Patterson <mask>. <mask> gained a scholarly reputation by having graduated from Princeton University at the young age of 18 in 1847. Upon graduation, he studied law in Newark in Chief Justice Hornblower's law office. He graduated and was admitted to the bar in 1850. He was admitted as a legal counselor in 1854. He initially set up his law practice in Newark, but then moved his practice to Jersey City.In 1858, he was appointed public prosecutor for Camden County. Civil War
During the Civil War, <mask> was appointed a brigadier general in the New Jersey Militia by the Governor of New Jersey. Attorney General New Jersey (1867–1869)
<mask> served as the Attorney General of New Jersey from 1867 to 1869. He resigned as Attorney General on June 22, 1869, to become United States Secretary of the Navy. Coriell murder trial
In May, 1867 <mask> successfully prosecuted Bridget Durgan of brutally murdering <mask> Coriell, Coriell's wife. <mask> was able to gain a conviction of Durgan on circumstantial evidence. Durgan, who had an earlier criminal record, had murdered Mrs. Coriell by stabbing her several times with a kitchen knife, believing that she would take over as wife of Coriell and would raise Mrs. Coriell's child.<mask> had stated that the blood on Durgan's dress was the blood of Mrs. Coriell after a violent struggle to save her life had taken place. <mask> told the jury not to consider Durgan as a woman when making a verdict. Throughout <mask>'s closing arguments, Durgan held her head low and constantly had a handkerchief to her eyes. <mask> was applauded by the courtroom audience after he finished giving his closing arguments. The jury only took one hour to deliberate before reaching a verdict. Durgan was convicted by the jury of murder, sentenced to death, and hanged on August 30, 1867. Secretary of the Navy (1869–1877)
President Ulysses S. Grant, without public knowledge, appointed <mask><mask> Secretary of the Navy on June 25, 1869, having replaced Sec.Adolph E. Borie, who resigned on the same day. Borie had found the duties of running the Navy Department demanding and he decided to resign. Upon <mask>'s appointment to office, nobody outside of New Jersey knew who he was. <mask> formally took office on June 26, 1869. This would become one of the longest-held cabinet Naval secretary positions, with the exception of Sec. Gideon Welles. He would serve until March 12, 1877, at the end of President Grant's second term in office and at the beginning of President Hayes's administration.<mask> had no previous affiliation with naval shipbuilding, however, he was familiar with the ocean lifestyle, having grown up in New Jersey. His appointment to the Secretary of Navy was influenced by Sen. A. G. Cattell of New Jersey. <mask>, a young man around 40 upon assuming office, was considered an impatient administrator, high-strung, and strong in physical prowess. When Congress did not authorize the construction of new ships, <mask> used monies meant for the repair of older ships to make newer ships from almost completely new materials, keeping the name of the older ships, and often making ships larger and replacing wooden hulls with iron. Congress and reformers were critical of <mask> overstepping the law in terms of making new ships by "repairing" older ships. Although he was criticized for overhauling 15 to 16 ironclads costing $4,000,000, navy historian Charles Oscar Paullin stated that under the circumstances of the Virginius Incident that took place in 1873, <mask>'s overhauls were "proper and advisable". Departmental control (1869)
<mask>'s predecessor Sec.Borie, Grant's first appointment, had let the Navy Department be run by Rear Admiral David D. Porter. Borie apparently did not have any interest in running the Navy Department and let Porter have unprecedented authority. All orders from the Naval Department had to go through Porter's office to be approved. Porter was an autocratic administrator, who made as many as 45 "arbitrary and extravagant" changes in only two months in the Navy Department. According to historian Paullin, <mask>, however, after his appointment in June 1869, assumed strong leadership of the department, and Porter's dogmatic control immediately ended. Sec. <mask> was not willing to be Porter's subordinate, as Borie had been.Porter was almost barred from the Navy Department Office building, only visiting four times during <mask>'s tenure. On November 16, 1870, <mask> wrote Porter a letter specifically stating Porter's limited authority, and Porter was told to report regularly to Robeson's Naval Office in writing. According to historian Donald Chisholm, both Rear Admiral Porter and Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen, a close friend to President Grant, influenced <mask>'s decisions as Secretary of Navy. <mask>'s first annual report to Congress in 1869 was heavily influenced by Rear Admiral Porter. Norfolk riot (1870)
During the Reconstruction Era, Secretary of the Navy <mask> arrived in Norfolk, Virginia on November 1, 1870, and he was saluted by naval warships in the harbor. His purpose was to speak for and support Republican Rep. James H. Platt's reelection to the U.S. Congress. During the stump speech ceremony in honor of Platt, <mask> forcefully advocated Republican Radical Reconstruction.<mask>, in his scholarly way, on the steps of the Norfolk City Hall, spoke on the Republican Party's achievements of successfully defeating the Southern Rebellion; ending the "barbarism of slavery"; elevating millions of African American freedmen by giving them citizenship, full suffrage and education; completing the Pacific Railroad; reducing taxes, and paying off the Civil War debt. <mask>, however, was abruptly interrupted by a Conservative who asked, "If the Republicans have done so much for the slaves, what have they done for their masters?" <mask> quickly replied that the Republican Party, after the war, had been very gracious to the South by limiting the punishment of hanging, "having destroyed the cause of the crime, to let the crime itself go unpunished". A riot broke out, eggs were thrown, and guns were fired. Several persons were wounded as the meeting broke up, but <mask> was unharmed. Polaris expedition (1871)

The Polaris expedition, commissioned by Secretary of Navy <mask>, was the United States' first serious attempt at arctic exploration to be the first nation to reach the North Pole. On June 29, 1871, at 7 pm, , sailed from the New York Naval Yard, under the authority of Captain Charles Francis Hall.Sec. of Navy Robeson and Hall, who was on his third arctic expedition, had lobbied Congress successfully to fund the expedition. <mask> had written specific instructions on the goals of the mission and implemented a hierarchy of command for when Hall was injured or killed. <mask> directed the course of the expedition, outfitted for two and one-half years. <mask> ordered anything that was found on the expedition would be the property of the U.S. Government, that monuments would be erected on the journey, records and general conditions of the expedition would be kept, and food caches would be established. Polaris was supplied with every scientific instrument needed for such a dangerous and ambitious expedition. While traveling west of Greenland under good weather, Polaris broke a sailing record to the highest point northward at 82°29'N.In October 1871, the expedition established a winter camp on Thank God Bay, to prepare to reach the North Pole by dogsled. On October 24, upon his return from an exploratory dogsled party, Captain Hall fell sick after drinking a cup of coffee. Historians now believe Hall was probably murdered by crew member Emil Bessels, who poisoned him with arsenic. Two weeks later, Captain Hall died, and Sidney O. Buddington was put in charge of the expedition, according to <mask>'s instructions. Under Buddington's authority, discipline on the expedition declined, as the crew was allowed to carry weapons and stay up all night. Buddington himself raided the ship's medical supply of alcohol and was known to have been drunk. On June 2, 1872, after an unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole, the expedition turned south to head back to the New York Navy Yard.Having been caught in an ice pack, 19 crew members were separated from the ship on an ice floe and floated 1,800 miles before being rescued. The remaining crew onboard the ship was forced to winter off Greenland in October 1872, with Polaris being broken down into two ships. Setting out on the ocean, the remaining expedition crew was rescued by a whaling ship on June 3, 1873. Upon the crew's return, <mask> immediately opened a naval investigation on June 5, 1873, inquiring into Hall's death and Buddington's lack of leadership and crew discipline. Captain Hall's journals and letters had been tampered with and destroyed; they may have contained information that was harmful to both Buddington and Bessels. The investigation under <mask> did not charge Bessels with Hall's murder, although there was circumstantial evidence Bessels did murder Hall. However, the entire Polaris expedition crew was exonerated.In 1968, Captain Hall's body was exhumed and modern scientific testing revealed he had been poisoned by arsenic before his sudden sickness and death. Bessels, who was in charge of Hall's medical care, is now believed to have most likely murdered Hall since Bessels had patriotic ties with his mother country Germany. Although <mask>'s final report said Hall had died a "natural" death, certain information may have been suppressed, to prevent scandal. Captain Hall, before his death, named Robeson Channel in honor of Secretary <mask>. Submarine and torpedo testing (1869–1875)

During Sec. <mask>'s tenure, submarine, and torpedo technologies were tested by the U.S. Navy. , an experimental hand-cranked submarine owned by Oliver Halstead, had been semi-officially successfully tested in 1866 by Thomas W. Sweeny.However, the U.S. Navy did nothing with the ship until October 1869, when the ship was examined and recommended to <mask> by Cmdrs. C<mask>hon Smith, Augustus L. Case, and Edmund O<mask>. <mask> appointed another committee to report on the boat's merit. After the second committee gave a favorable review, <mask> and Halstead signed a contract on October 29, 1869, to purchase the submarine for $50,000. Halstead, who contracted to test the submarine, was murdered, and the testing of Intelligent Whale was stalled for over a year. Because of lax security, in 1872, British officer Rear Admiral Edward Augustus Inglefield sneaked into the New York Navy Yard and inspected the secluded vessel moored on a wharf. On September 18, 1872, the ship was officially tested by the U.S. Navy; it took on water due to a defective hatch seal.Although deemed a failure, Intelligent Whale represented the U.S. Navy's interest and experimentation in "improving weapons systems" during the 1870s. The first submarine to have been purchased and tested by the U.S. Navy was  in 1863, during the American Civil War. The testing of torpedoes proved to be more successful. In July 1869 <mask> established the United States Naval Torpedo Station on Goat Island in the harbor of Newport, Rhode Island. The goal was to find inexpensive and effective underwater defense weapons, including experimentation with torpedoes and torpedo equipment, explosives, and electrical equipment. <mask> gave the station the task of making the self-propelled "Fish" torpedo, modeled after the Whitehead torpedo developed by Englishman Robert Whitehead. <mask> instructed that the torpedo must be able to go underwater for a considerable distance, at a fair speed, maintaining a straight course, while remaining submerged.The torpedo was  long, weighed , carried  of guncotton explosives, and had a range of . Compressed air drove the  diameter, four-bladed propeller. The initial testing of the torpedo worked, although there were leakage problems and the azimith control had difficulty. The depth mechanism worked well. In the summer of 1872, inventor-entrepreneur John L. Lay's self-propelled remote control torpedo test proved a success for the Bureau of Ordnance. The torpedo testing during the 1870s was the foundation for modern American underwater warfare. In 1873 and 1874 respectively,  and  were launched, respectively equipped with spar and projectile torpedoes.By 1875 all U.S. naval cruisers were outfitted with spar and towing torpedoes, and naval officers were trained in their deployment. USS Intrepid was the first U.S. steam-powered projectile torpedo ship, built seven years before the British , which was roughly of similar design and purpose.

 attend the event due to the death of his father. Grant chose <mask> to go in his place. Grant's Secretary of War William W. Belknap and Grant's Attorney General <mask>. Williams were scheduled to attend the dedication ceremony. <mask> later met Grant at Long Branch.The Centennial Exposition opened on May 10, 1876. Virginius incident and war crisis (1873)

On October 31, 1873 a Spanish warship, Toronado, ran down and captured Virginius, a U.S. merchant ship that was smuggling in weapons and soldiers to aid Cuba's revolt from the mother country Spain. The American public demanded war with Spain, as shocking news poured into the country that 53 British and American citizens who had joined up to aid the Cuban Insurrection were captured on Virginius and shot to death by Spanish Naval authority. In addition to this incident, a state-of-the-art Spanish warship was in port in New York Harbor, which excelled in lethal military technology compared to American warships. On November 14, 1873, Grant ordered the Navy to be put on war footing. <mask> sent a flotilla of U.S. warships, part of the North Atlantic Squadron, to Key West, Florida, 90 miles from Cuba. However, the response time was slow, as the U.S. fleet finally assembled off Key West in late January 1874.The U.S. Navy, was no match for the modern Spanish warships and navy. One U.S. officer stated that two Spanish warships could have decimated the American flotilla, the best ships the U.S. Navy could offer at the time. During the Virginius crisis, Sec. <mask> decided that the primary goal for the Navy was a naval resurgence program to make monitor warships that could compete with foreign navies. Congress, however, refused to make new ships, believing that the technologically revolutionary ironclads made ten years ago somehow remained modern and were good enough for the U.S. Navy. In a compromise, <mask> and Congress chose to "rebuild" five of the biggest U.S. warships, including an unfinished USS Puritan and four USS Miantonomahs. The ships were contracted out, torn down and scrapped, to be "rebuilt" as new warships by various contractors approved by Sec.<mask>. Work began in 1874, but Congress refused to give <mask> 2.3 million dollars to complete the ships. The almost complete USS Miantonomah was launched on December 6, 1876. <mask> was criticized for scrapping other monitors to pay for the new ones. Secretary of State Hamilton Fish in December 1874 coolly negotiated a peaceful settlement with Spain, and the State Department successfully arbitrated Spanish reparations to the families of the Americans who had been executed. The Virginius incident brought home the realities of having a weak navy and the need for a naval resurgence. Ordered double turreted warships (1874)
In response to the Virginius Incident, Sec.<mask> ordered five warships on June 23, 1874, to implement U.S. naval resurgence; all participated in the Spanish–American War, which started in 1898. The "rebuilding" of USS Puritan and four Miantonomohs were under the direction of Sec. <mask>. Each ship was redesigned, scrapped, and rebuilt from almost all new iron works material. The five ships included the , the , the , the . and the

At the beginning of the Spanish–American War, from April 22 through 24, 1898, USS Terror captured three Spanish warships: Almansas, Ambrosia Bolivar and Guido. USS Puritan shelled Matanzas on April 27, 1898.From May 5, 1898 to August 4, 1898 USS Miantonomoh served in a squadron of ships that blockaded the northern coast of Cuba. On May 12, 1898 USS Amphitrite hurled 17  shells shoreward, as well as 30  shells, 30 3-pounders and 22 6-pounders on San Juan, Puerto Rico. On February 10, 1899, USS Monadnock participated in the Battle of Caloocan, a few miles north of Manila. Inflation bill (1874)
When the nation fell into a depression after the Panic of 1873, Congress responded by passing Bill S.617, dubbed the "inflation bill," that would add $400 million greenbacks (paper currency) into circulation. The bill also advanced an equivalent amount of specie-backed money. Both houses overwhelming approved the bill, believing it would bring relief, to a cash-depleted nation, expecting Grant, to quickly sign it. Grant, however, contemplated that matter and discussed it with his cabinet, having received the bill on April 14, 1874.He told his cabinet he would not sign the bill, believing it would be "a departure from true principles of finance." Grant's cabinet was both divided and speechless. <mask> spoke up and said he wished "the President had reached a different conclusion." Secretary of War William Belknap said a veto "would array the entire West in opposition." Secretary of State Hamilton Fish approved of Grant's veto. Grant vetoed the bill, while an attempt to override Grant's veto failed in the Senate. Feud with Bristow (1874)
When Benjamin Bristow was appointed Secretary of Treasury by Grant in June 1874, a feud developed between Bristow and <mask> within a few months.The controversy centered around <mask> wanting to have Senator A.G. Cattell appointed financial agent in London to negotiate a bond issue. Cattell had performed a similar service in 1873 under previous Secretary Richardson. Bristow refused to make the appointment and believed a Treasury appointee could do the job. Bristow lobbied Grant to appoint John Bigelow, head of the Treasury Department's Loan Division. Grant accepted Bristow's choice of Bigelow, but he warned Bristow that Bigelow had a previous episode of drunkness. Bristow went further to undercut <mask>'s influence in the Grant cabinet. Bristow told Grant that Robeson's Navy Department was financially mismanaged, and was under the control of former treasury secretary <mask>'s banking house.Bristow's advisers warned Bristow to cool things off and take a less confrontational approach. Report on U.S. Navy (1875)

On December 6, 1875, Secretary <mask> released his report on the condition of the U.S. Navy. The New York Times stated that the U.S. Navy was "stronger than at any time" since the Civil War. <mask> stated in his report that by 1875 the U.S. Navy was the strongest it had been during Grant's presidential term starting in 1869. The U.S. Navy consisted of 147 ships of every class and description, and twenty-six ships were sailing vessels without any steam power. <mask> stated that of the 147 ships in the U.S. Navy, 80 were available for war, including sixteen ironclads and two torpedo ships, USS Alarm and . Intrepid was the second U.S. propelled torpedo warship, built-in 1874.The British Royal Navy would not have a propelled torpedo warship until 10 years later. There was a total of 1,195 guns on all the ships combined. <mask> commented that the U.S. Navy was introducing and experimenting with breech-loading howitzers in the naval system, that Gatling guns were on every ship in the U.S. Navy, and that the Torpedo School at Newport was developing efficient torpedoes that could cause great destruction. Concerning the five double-turreted monitors that <mask> had designed and ordered over a year ago in June 1874, he pressed Congress for funding to complete the ships. House investigation and corruption (1876)
In 1869, when <mask> was appointed Secretary of Navy by Grant, he had a total net worth of $20,000 and had "a slender law-practice". A July 1876 Congressional investigation run by the Democratic House, revealed that <mask> deposited $320,000 in his bank account, well above his $8,000 yearly salary, from 1872 to 1876. <mask> had cooperated with the investigating committee giving his testimony and bank deposit information.The investigation revealed that Secretary <mask> gave a Philadelphia feed and grain firm, A. G. Cattell & Co., a $30,000 naval contract. Cattell was soon earning brokerage commissions from other suppliers in order to gain federal naval contracts. In addition to receiving kickbacks, Cattell bought <mask> a vacation home at Long Branch, New York. Cattell's books upon investigation were found to be in disorder, and there was no direct evidence linking <mask> to kickbacks or the purchase of the Long Branch cottage. The Naval Committee's all-Democratic majority negative report stated that Sec. <mask> had run a "system of corruption" and recommended that he either be impeached by the House Judiciary Committee or that reform laws be made by Congress. No articles of impeachment, however, were drawn up for <mask>.Grant did not ask <mask> to resign and supported the Naval Committee's minority-Republican report that exonerated <mask>. Additionally, <mask> was accused by Admiral Porter of squandering $15,000,000 of missing naval construction funds, and of committing 30 misdemeanors. Porter called <mask> the "cuttlefish" (a cephalopod known for camouflage) of the Navy because he believed <mask> was good at hiding his financial tracks and was supported by Grant's boyhood friend Daniel Ammen. Historians believe <mask> was exceedingly careless and partisan in his role as Secretary of Navy. Defended by Grant (1876)

On December 5, 1876, President Grant defended <mask> in his 8th annual State of the Union Address:
"The fact that our Navy is not more modern and powerful than it is has been made a cause of complaint against the Secretary of the Navy by persons who at the same time criticize and complain of his endeavors to bring the Navy that we have to its best and most efficient condition; but the good sense of the country will understand that it is really due to his practical action that we have at this time any effective naval force at command." Additionally, Grant requested that Congress give more funding for the completion of the five modernized warships that <mask> had ordered in 1874. Grant stated that the high cost of building new ships was caused by the use of steam power machinery.Grant commented on <mask>'s annual report on the condition of the U.S. Navy:
"The report of the Secretary of the Navy shows that branch of the service to be in condition as effective as it is possible to keep it with the means and authority given the Department. It is, of course, not possible to rival the costly and progressive establishments of great European powers with the old material of our Navy, to which no increase has been authorized since the war, except the eight small cruisers built to supply the place of others which had gone to decay. Yet the most has been done that was possible with the means at command; and by substantially rebuilding some of our old ships with durable material and completely repairing and refitting our monitor fleet the Navy has been gradually so brought up that, though it does not maintain its relative position among the progressive navies of the world, it is now in a condition more powerful and effective than it ever has been in time of peace." Farewell speech (1877)

On March 14, 1877, two days after his term of office ended, <mask> gave a farewell speech to his former subordinate chiefs and clerks at the Naval Department at his luxurious K Street house in Washington D.C. He thanked them for showing up and said that he was leaving office with relief and regret. He said that workers in his Naval Department had served faithfully and that he himself had faithfully and steadily advanced the Naval Department. <mask> admitted he had made mistakes during his long tenure as Secretary of the Navy.He said he had the courage not to deny the rights of any man due to his class. Legal career Camden County
After leaving the Navy Department in 1877, <mask> returned to his law practice in Camden County. Hunter murder trial
Although <mask> previously served as a state prosecutor, he served on the defense team of Benjamin F. Hunter, who was put on trial for the murder of John M. Armstrong. Hunter had loaned Armstrong, a music publisher, $12,000, and had taken out an insurance policy on Armstrong for $26,000, as collateral. Hunter hired Thomas Graham for $500 to kill Armstrong, so Hunter could collect the insurance policy. Armstrong had also owed money to Ford W. Davis, and Hunter plotted to frame Davis for the murder. While Hunter and Armstrong were approaching Davis' home, in Camden, Graham struck Hunter in the head with a hatchet marked "F.W.D."Graham dropped the hatched, ran away, while Hunter took the hatchet, and continued to strike Armstrong in the head. Armstrong later died in Philadelphia of head wounds. Davis was arrested and held in prison for a few weeks. Davis was released, after Graham confessed to the murder, and Hunter's involvement. Hunter was indicted for murder and put on trial June 10, 1878. <mask> and Hunter's defense team argued that there was no evidence Hunter was in Camden at the time of the murder. The jury, however, after 23 days of the trial, convicted Hunter.The case was appealed and rejected. Hunter was executed on July 10, 1879. Congressional career (1879–1883)

In 1878, <mask> ran for and was elected to the U.S. Congress and served as a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 1st congressional district from March 4, 1879, until March 3, 1881. He was elected to a second term in 1880, serving from March 4, 1881, to March 3, 1883. Although he was criticized in 1882 for allocating a large surplus to the Navy by the Democratic Puck magazine, historians today acknowledge that the U.S. Navy under President Chester A. Arthur, while <mask> was in office, made significant advancements by having all-steel ships. During the 1882 election, <mask> was defeated by Democrat Thomas M. Ferrell in a bitter campaign that left <mask> $60,000 in debt, and he was forced to sell his Washington D.C. property, including his luxurious mansion.<mask>'s political enemy, New Jersey U.S. Senator William J. Sewell, a Republican, was behind the Democrat Ferrell's successful campaign. As a result of the election loss, <mask> moved from Camden to Trenton and established a law practice, having been induced to represent the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Sued by John Cambell
In 1885, <mask> was sued for $297 by John Cambell, a liveryman, who had aided <mask> during his 1882 First Congressional District election campaign. Cambell had organized horses, the Sixth Regiment Band, and security for <mask> in support of the Republican ticket. <mask> at the time was Treasurer of the Camden County Republican Executive Committee, and Cambell claimed that <mask> did not pay him for his services. <mask> stated that he had paid $75 to the leader of the band and that he paid $258 to 11 constables who were hired for security.<mask> said he did not believe that the hire of security and the band was necessary. <mask> also stated he had paid Cambell a check for $500 in addition to $300 for "political purposes". <mask> admitted he owed Cambell $42 for the hire of carriages. The jury returned a verdict that agreed with <mask> and Cambell was awarded $42 plus three years' interest. Justice Park on the Camden County Circuit Court presided over <mask>'s lawsuit trial. In 1891, <mask> became interested in running for U.S. Congressman for the fourth time.However, the Trenton district was content with the Democratic ticket, and nothing became of <mask>'s inquiry into public office. Death

<mask> continued practicing law until his death at the age of 68 on November 27, 1897. He is buried at Belvidere Cemetery in Belvidere, New Jersey.
