Edouard RemeDyi was greeted by
large audience at the Y. NJ. C. A. audi
forum last evening, an audience com
posed OF the lovers OF high class music OF
a community noted for it's critical knowl-
edge OF what the best in music is. Every
appearance OF the great violinist was the
signal for long. continued applause and
go genuine was itsnd so evidently pleased
and carried away that the artist twice,
after long concert selection, responded
to the encores.
Perhaps the most perfect number rem
dered by Remenyi was the "Nocturne"
by Chopin. Its sweetness and the perfect
manner OF its rendering appealed mig hti-
ly to the true lover OF classical music.
The vioinist is evidently at all times in
perfect sympathy with his own perform
ance, as true artist must inevitably be.
One seeing but his facial expression, the
loving glances he cast at the instrument
OF which he proved the master and not
hearing the result of the passage OF the
bow across the strings would assuredly
be entertained. The performance OF The
Marseillaise was notable instance oil
the PLAYER being wrapt up in his own
performance. The beautiful national
hymn was stirringly rendered.
Miss Brehany, the soloist, posses es d
voice Of remarkable cultivation and cor
siderable range and the pianist, William
Sauvet rendered several selections in q
finished manner. Gounod's AYE Maria
for violin, voice and piano concluded
worthily program that delighted al

vessel and a seaworthy one and l believe
would make the trip all right. Ii she
could be got 10 point within 300 or 400
miles Of Point Barrow it seems to me that
it would be pcs 'ibe TO reach the whalers
who are at Point Barrow.
1.-THE Rosalia, Orca, Jessie II. Freem an
and the Belvedere are at Point Barrow.
The others are between Point Barrow and
Herschel Island, and for all that is known
TO the contrary. they may be within a
couple of hundred miles of the point. If
the expedition should reach the point it
would not be very difficult matter to go
few hundred miles further and bring re-
lief to the men, who will no doubt stay
with their We ssels a, long as they can.
THE CALL deserves lots of credit for
the part it Is taking on behalf OF those
men.

to bring down the salmon pack and the
men from Cooks Inlet. The Jeanie was

Leon Blum sta ed las: night that it was
the duty of the Government to send relief
to those men WHO will have to pass the
winter in the Arctic without any pro-
visions.
THE Cham Der of Commerce has asked
the President to do something for the re-
lief of the wha.ers. 1t is the duty of the
Government to send revenue cutter there
to bring needed relief" he added. "All
the whalers are nearly out of provisions,
and there is nothing to be had at Point
Barrow, for two years ago the Government
sold out its stores there to the Pacific
Whaling Company. The natives around
Point Barrow will suffer this winter, as
the game is scarce, and it is no more than
right that Congress should do something
to relieve them. 1t would be hard jour-
ney TO undertake 10 reach those men, but
it could be lone. AT least an effort should
be M ade 10 bring relief to them.
"The schooner Rosalia has traded off
nearly all her supplies tor whaiebone and

He said: at seems to me a doubtful

chance TO save them, and it might be
worth the trial. Efforts to save our fellow
men i'll peril are always worth being
made
Captain George S. Garvin, formerly of
the Orca, now mate of the Karluk, says:
mo man can say what is possible or i'm
possible in trip of this kind, but it might
be worth trying. l do not think there IS
the slightest hope for the men unless
some such thing as this is done. 1t is
almost certain death to many of them.
They will fare better the longer they can
stay on the ships. They have no fuel and
have made very poor provision for winter

trouble is that the trip overland is through
rough, mountainous, untraveled and
practically impossible country. 1t seems
10 me the only people who can live there
are natives, and they are slower than
any people you ever saw. Their plan
would be to travel an hour, then stop and
smoke three
Captain Thomas Scullion said "I have
not been in that country since 1872, and l
was young man then, but it seems 10
me it will be most periIous
trip. though it ought to be under
taken if such man as Captain
Healy says it can be done. He certainly
knows that region like book, and what
he says ought to be needed. 1t is a thing
that no one has ever undertaken before,
and think THE CALL deserves the thanks
of all seafaring men for the interest it has
taken in their cause. 1t is the cause of
all navigators, and it makes Us feel good
when we see such evidence that those on
the shore are doing al in their power to
make our voyages less dangerous. The
only way we can solve these problems is
to make q good trial. 1t might be that
the trip would be made all right. and it is
certainly worth an honest trial."
Captain William Lewis, of Lewis, An
derson & Co., owners of the Belevedere,
one of the ice bound whalers, the lost
Nevarch and the William Bayless. thinks
that the beleaguered ships at Point Bar
row will probably go to eternal smash
when the ice breaks up in the spring, but
he takes a conservative view OF the danger
10 the crews. He thinks there is a good
chance of their surviving with the provi-
sions they have and what they can pro-
cure.

posed for other vessels 20 get where they
are?" asked The Secretary.
My understanding is that the PROPOSE
ton OF Lieutenant Stoney is this: That
if a vessel be equipped and provisioned
i will be able TO reach Norton Sound
this sesson-that Is, before the ice is too
thick r navigation. 1t is then proposed
to transport the supplies on dog sleds to
Port Clarence, which is only a short dis
tance overland from Norton Sound. At
Port Clarence the Government has large
herd ot reindeer, and the provisions could
be hauled on sleds by the reindeer or
packed on their backs along the coast to
Point Barrow. When this point is reached
l apprshend it would not be a difficult
matter to get the supplies TO the vessels,
for they have endeavored to remain as
closely to-ether as possible for mutual
protection. None of them is great dis
tance from the coast at Point Barrow.

Every three or four years." said Mr.
Loud, lone or more of the whaling fleet
gets caught in the ice pack, and then 1t
comes 10 light that the ships are INSULT
GENTLY provisoned. ANY man who sends
a ship into far northern waters pro-
visioned tor less than three years ought
to be criminally prosecuted.
"It IS an outrage to let ships crew 6 .
out on such a voyage with only a few
months stores on board their vessel. Every
ship that enters the Arctic is liable to be
caught in the ice and held for many
months longer than it was calculated to
have her gone. The ready response of the
Govern nment in the pas. 10 go to the aid OF
lmperiled citizens when called upon has
made shlp.owners in general and whalers
In particular exceedin .ly careless as to
the proper provisioning OF their ships"
Congressman James G. Mcguire was
equally severe in his comments on the
practice OF sending ships out improperly
| equipped for all emergencies.
Il have not looked into the feast bility
OF such relief expedition as is proposed, "
| continued Judge Mcguire, "but with 800
men i'll i'm .ninent danger of starving
something should be done at once to aid
them if it is possible to reach them"
To-day the Cham Der Of Commerce and
probably other com mmercial bodies will
forward requests to the administration to
dispatch a relief expedition to Alaska SO
that at the Cabinet meeting Tuesday the
President and his advisers will be in pos
session of all the facts bearing on the SUBJ
iect.
Il. M. Lindsay, manager for James Nc
Kenna, was seen last night and expressed
the balief that a relief expedition would
be successful if undertaken at once. "THE
CALL deserves great deal of credit for
the course it has taken in regard to the
whalers who are frozen up in the North, .
said Mr.. Lindsay. The Government
should fit out vessel at once, for it is a
duty which it owes to its citizens.
81 think that Captain Heaiy would be
the best man that could be found to COM
mand a relief expedition. He is thoroughly
acquainted with the northern waters and
the conditions prevailing there. and il
tn re is a chance to reach those men he is
the man TO take that chance.

immediate steps should be taken to send
relief to the prisoners of the ice king was
unanimous.
OF all who gave expression to their SYM
pathies none were more sincere than the
members of the California Congressional
delegation, and their expressions were
most practical-an appeal to the Wash
ington authorities to dispatch a relief
expedition at once. Through the me-
dunn of The CALL, the critical condition
of the 800 and more American seamen has
become known to the people throughout
the State, and yesterday, from San Fran
| cisco, Oakland, Santa Rosa, Stockton,
Visalia and other points where the men,
bers of the delegation reside flew mes
sages to Secre tary of the Navy Long, urg-
ing him 10 use his utmost endeavors 10
provide ship for the expedition.
Most of these di patches called atten-
ton to The CALLS offer to provision the
ship and 80 allayed the Secretary's objec-
tion that no funds were available for that
purpose and would not be until Congress
met and made suitable provision.
And Secretary Long has acted with
gratifying promptness. Late yesterday
land, the commandant of the Mare
Island Navy yard, instructing him TO in
vestigate the practicability of sending re-
lief to the sailors, and to telegraph his re-
port to the department to- day.
The Secretary will also formally place
the matter before the President and
Ca binet at Tuesdays meeting, and if the
report of Admiral Kirkland, or the sub.
ordinate he may detail to make the in
vestigation, is favorable it is probable
that a ship will be provided at once.
The revenue cutter Bear has arrived at
Seattle, and if shs is in condition will
likely be selected to make the trip, If it is
unable to undertake it without first un-
aergoing repairs one of the steam whalers
will be chartered for the purpose.
The suggestion was maoe yesterd ay
that if the Bear is selected for the under
taking she be transferred 10 the Navy
Department temporarily, as it was
thought the latter Was better pre- epared to
handle such an expedition. A dispatch
from Seattle to The CALL last night
quoted Captain Tuttle of the Bear as say
ing that his ship was in every way fitted
for the voyage and could be made ready
for winters buffeting with the ice in
four or five days time.

cussing the matter yesterday, spoke in

the purchasing parties would keep the

San Francisco is to the effect that they
have all been removed from Point Bar

destitute OF food. but 1 believe from the
report that have read that they are in a
miserable and wretched condition, and
their scanty food supply was nearly ex-

The Secretary thereupon took a pen and
wrote the following telegram:
CommandGnt Navy-yard, Mare Island, Cal:
Investigate and report tomorrow on the
feasibility Of Lieutenant Stoney's plan for
relief OF Arctic whaling vessels. LONG,
Secretary.
The Secretary then went to his room to
peruse the copies of THE CALL giving an
account of the pitiabl condition of the
whalers. It's evident that his sympa-
thles have been enlisted. The only aues-
tion now is, What will be the re port of
the Mare Island commanoant?' If it is
favorable the expedition may be under

that they intend to use smaller boats to

"You say that there are no provisions at
Point Barrow?'

CHAPMAN DEMANDS TRIAL.
Raid on Sher-y's is Likely to be Pro
ductive of a Sensation.

New York, Dec. at seems likely
that raid which the police made on
SherryS on the 18th of last month, dur
ing the dinner party given by Mr.. See
ley, will be productive of sensational
results. Police Captain Chapman. who
personally headed the raiders, resents
the criticism which it brought on him
from police quarters, and he now insists
upon police board trial, in which he
viii be defendant He had a long con-
ference with Commissioner Roosevelt
today relative to the raid, and at it's
close neither would talk. Chief Con-
lin has ben moving, too, in the mat
ter.
It leaked out today that one of the
women who danced at the dinner called
at headquarters last night AID made
sworn statements of a most sensat ional
character. At the meeting of the po-
lice board next week definite action will
undoubtedly be taken.
The board may be forced into this to
set at rest the assertions which name
Commissioner Parker as the real author
of the raid. These assertions suppose
a desire on the part of Mr.. Parker to
strike at Commissioners Roosevelt and
Andrews by exposing the doings of
Commissioner Roosevelt has contra
dicted this and declares that he is I'M
acquainted with Mr.. Seeley. The names
of the diners include those of several
prominent young members of clubland
