Performances.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-A representative
Of the Western press called on Melville
and asked him what he had to say about
the charges contained in the interview
with DR.. Collins OF Minneapolis, respect
ing the charges against belong Of the
Jeanette expedition, and more especially
that part of the interview which charged
him (Melville) with the responsibility OF
the death of belong and his comrades.
Melville said he had read the interview as
| published in the morning papers, but did
not care to discuss the matter at this time,
especially through the newspapers. Such
discussions are apt to make matters worse,
being liable to misrepresentation. In re-
! spouse to a suggestion that anything he
would write on the subject would be laid
before the public, Melville replied that
he would not write anything at present.
He would soon appear before the Board of
Inquiry, where the whole matter would
probably be investigated. Upon being
pressed for an answer respecting the
foundation for the charges, he said he
knew nothing about them, and could not
consistently discuss the topic. The inter
view was much commented on, and is the
topic Of the day.
