Received This Morning, 12.# d'clock, ADELAIDE. February 26. The Aurora, haa anchored. The return of the expedition Iras aroused lititle enthusiasm, a snlid* crowd only' watching the arrivalA number" of launches, one bear-fog representatives of the University and' another laden with pressmen, werfti to the anchorage and greeted the explorers. The pressnen l had their journey for nothing, as Dr Mawson informed them that much information, which would otherwise' fiave been interesting, was exclusive, and could not be given out. Considerable indignation is expressed that Australia, which had provided a large portion of the funds for the expedition, whoiild be robbed of the right of publ:sKing early information of tho doings of the explorers, and compelled to wait until a London paper exercised its exclusive right of publication. So far as is known all the explorers have returned safe, and much valuable data secured', Btit even as regard thesp points, nothing really definite is obtainable. - Probably the story wilT be available to-morrow.
