EVERYBODY ASKED TO WATCH.
Some Reasons Why News of Nansen's Dis
covery Might Precede Him.


Some of the leading Russians here hold
that, in their judgment, there is a strong
probability that Nansen has found the
north pole, and is coming back. They can
see no inconsistency in word coming in ad-
vance of him also to this effect.
"If the people only understood the
conditions that surround him" said Agent
Grunwaldt of the Russian Fur Company
yesterday, "they would see nothing strange
in this. From the time that Nansen set
out from the vicinity of the mouth of the
Lena River every native and every
wandering Russian was notified to be on
the lookout for him.
"Word of such an event would be passed
along as rapidly as possible, and thus 1t
might be that neither Mrs. Nansen IN
Norway nor his agent in London might
first hear OF his discovery and return to-
ward. home. The Swedish Government
has long since sent out word for everybody
to be on the lookout for Nansen, his ship
and party, and any news concerning them
"Ail along the north coast of Siberia,
down to the Sea of Kara, this is known
among the natives. Therefore word might
precede him.
Another thing should be observed, and
that is that the man Kauchnareff. repre-
sented as trader and agent of Nansen,
received his information OF Nansen's COM
ing off Ko1ympsk. Now, Kolympsk is An
important place between 1000 and 1900
miles from Irkutsk. 1t would be long
time, therefore, before Kauchnareff could
reach Irkutsk.
"One thing that looks singular to me is
the statement, as voiced in one of the dis
patches from London, that the news was
sent by letter from Irkutsk to Yakutsk
and on to Kirensk, where it was put on the
wires and sent by telegraph. The tele-
graph line reaches from st. Peterburg di-
rect to Irkutsk. so what would be the
reason for the carrying over two towns be-
yend?
Another reason why have had faith
in the Nansen dispatch is the reliability of
the st. Petersburg journal publishing it.
have lived in st. Petersburg long while,
and know it to be one of the most careful
newspapers in the world. 1t has the con-
fdence of the people everywhere"
Mr.. Grunwaldt arrived from Siberia,
where his company has had large conces-
sions for several years, little over
month ago. He has visited Irkutsk, and
is familiar with that part of Siberia.

Jeanette, lost June IS, 1881, north Of the
Siberian coast.
Director Lytzen continued in his lecture
before the Danish scientists, of which the
following is translation:
1t has long been known that the currents of
the Arctic go from the northern shore OF
SIBERIA over against the east coast of Green
land, along this and from Cape Farewell up in
the opposite direction along the sou thern end
OF the west coast of Greenland. / shall here
ohly put you In mind of the floating timber
picked up ON the Greenland shore. The Sibe-
rian origin of this driftwood is we'll known.
1t grows in the great forests along the Lena
and other rivers bordering on the Arctic The
currents bring 1t around Spitzbergen to our
coast.
We now know how long it will take for an
object to drift with the current from near the
mouth of the River Lena, in Siberia, to Green
land. 1t took three years for the Jeannettes
1cefoe to make the journey, which is 1000
Danish miles.
The distance travelled has in reality been
much longer, for we know from the ships that
have made long drifts fast in the Arctic ice
that the currents take the foes in many curves.
But 1t has been proved that a berg can travel
over that route and will consume about three
years in the trip. 1t is also known that the
bergs coming from the Siberian coast over the
middle OF the Arctic and around the eastern
shore of Greenland into Bafins Bay will not
crumble until they reach the southern end OF
Greenland.
Now, it viii be seen that whoever tries to
reach the pole from the Siberian Sea will most
likely be locked up in the ice and carried
across the Arctic and around Greenland, tax
ing several years on the passage, providing
the vessel is strong enough to stand the squeeze
OF the foes.
"This is the reason discredit DR.. Nan
sens alleged discovery" said Mr.. Lund.
"If he passed over the pole in his drift he
will probably turn up on the east Green
land coast. like the other drifting things
cast into the great Siberian current If he
has not succeeded in proving the Jean

EVANS RELEASED.
He Proves an Alibi in the Matter
Of the Morton-Street
Murder

Edward Evans. the Swedish sailor ar.
rested as a suspect in the Morton-street
murder case, has been released. Amos
Gresham, the negro bartender at
Bells saloon, called at the City Prison
yesterday and positively identified Evans
as the man who was in the saloon on the
night of the murder, and who, when Ieav-
ing, said he was going to look for woman
who had taken $400 from him.
Evans declared that he had been in the
saloon and that he made the remark at
tributed to him, but that it was the night
after the murder. He insisted that he had
spent the night on which the murder was
committed in certain saloons along the
Barbary Coast, and that there were many
men there by whom he could prove that
fact.
Captain Lees sent an officer with him to
the places in question, and the latter be-
came convinced from what he learned that
Evans was telling the truth. He 80 re-
ported to Captain Lees, and Evans was
released.

A NEW CHURCH PROBABLE.


Trustees OF the German baptist church OF
tho opinion That New House of worship
Is Necessary.
The trustees of the German Baptist
Church, at Fifth and Walnut streets,
at a recent meeting decided that the
present building, which is more than a
century old, is entirely inadequate for
the purpose, and action was taken look
ing toward the matter of erecting n
new building. The trustees will submit
their decision TO the congregation, at
meeting to he held this evening, and
II is likely that a new place of worship
will be decided upon at that time.
