whether Il could recognize either Minister

PerIlous situation of About 500 Men
A Relief Expedition.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 30.-Act-
ing Secretary Thompson to-day received
long telegram from San Francisco, signed
by Senator Hearst and others. informing
him Of the perilous situation of the crews
OF about dozen whalers, supposed to have
been wrecked near Herald island in the
Arctic ocean and asking that revenue
steamer be sent at once to their assistance.
There are said.to be nearly go men in the
party in no condition TO Withstand the
rigors of an Arctic winter. The revenue
steamer Bear is desired for the purpose OF
sending them provisions and clothing, with
out which 1t is said they will perish Of hun
ger and cold.
Acting Secretary Thompson visited the
White House during the day and laid the
matter before the President, saying that
there Is no vessel now in the revenue service
in ii { condition for winter cruise to the
Arctic The steamer Bear, now at San
Francisco, which was suggested for the ex
peditIon, would require extensive repairs
and Secretary Thompson added that there
Is no appropriation which can be utilized
for this expense.
The President said that the case is q seri-
Gus one and required prompt action. He
thereupon sent for Commodore Harmony,
and instructed him to take Immediate Steps
for the relief of the whalers.
Commodore Harmony promised TO do 50
and said that he would endeavor to cDiii-
municate with Commander Emery, com
manllng the United States steamer Thetis,
nov cruising in the Arctic, which is ex-
pected to arrive at San Francisco in short
time.
The present plan is to fit the vessel out
for the relief txpsc Il OF as soon as she ar
rives at San Franc Sc, and 70 ex edite he

A Surprise Expected.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The story
is current in inner political circles tonight
that the President is preparing another
surprise for the country. This will con-
sist OF a PRONUNCIATION of n proclamation
based on the existing retaliation act
against Canada. A Democrat prominent in
public life says the tenor of the prociama-
ton will be the Presidents answer to all
insinuations, from whatever source, that
he has not been sincere in his opinions
about the necessity of enforcing retaliatory
measures. The object Of the proclamation,
1t Is said, will be to give timely warning to
the Canadian government that unless a
due regard is had for our commercial
rights the law will be enforced As strictly
rs the provisions of the act will allow.

The cases Of Counselman, of La Sale,
indicted for rape, and SCHNEIDER of Mar
settles, who carved George Bangham in a
brutal manner last winter, were to have
been tried this week before Judge Stipp.
But as the states attorney nolle pressed the

the case of the assailant of Bangham, no

On Monday, either Judge Blanchard or
Judge Stipp will hear the William r. Mill

Brewer and Stead for the state, and Duncan,
Mayo, Gilbert. Fullerton and Bull for the
defense. Apropos of this case, Mr.. MolOney
didn't desire to try it before the Bartels
