yesterday from North Texas. and his pres-
ence In the city gave an additional impetus
70 the interest that Is being manifested In
the coming OF the distinguished citizen to
Houston.
Newspaper readers everywhere are Ai-
OF oratory. but to very few citizens OF
Houston has been accorded the pleasure OF
listening to his enhancing eloquence.
Colonel o. T. Holt was a delegate to the
National convention that was moved by
Mr.. Bryan's eloquence to nominate him as
the candidate for the presidency. Discuss
ing this event yesterday. Colonel Holt re-
marked: at was certainly one OF the great
eat exhibitions OF eloquenco and forensic
power that ii was ever before my pleasure
TO listen TO. He simply made pcopie weep
and shout with enthusiasm. There never
was, and possibly never viii be again. such
an exhibition of oratory. BY thai same ell
cquence he has since challenged The adrli-
ration of an entire nation. The enthusiasm
that his speech provoked at the Coliseum
made that massive structure fairly trsrs,hle
beneath the numbering applause. The PEG
pie Of Houston are certainly 10 be cnnErst-
ulated upon the i,raspeot OF soon having the

The San Francisco call., 1897-10-28

Whaling men in San Francisco spent
nearly all of yesterday in discussing the
situation in the Arctic. The consensus of
opinion is that the chances for the feet
getting out are not good and that there
will be great suffering before help can
reach the imprisoned men next July.
There are no supplies at Point Barrow,
and the nearest point from which help
can reach them is Herschel Island, 400
miles away.
In 1889, when the feet was frozen in off
the Herald Island shoals, there was an
outcry for the establishment of a supply
station at Point Barrow. Tue merchants
of San Francisco sent petition to Wash
ington and the place was fitted out. Pro-
visions, clothing and other necessaries
were stored there, and at one time there
was nearly five years supply on hand.
Year after year passed and never de-
mAnd was made on Uncle Sans emer-
genoy store. Finally buildings and every
thing in them were sold to the highest
bidder the whole outfit bringing some
thing like $4,000.
This year when the Jeanie went up TO
supply the vessels that were to winter in
the Arctic she took very little cargo from
here, but replenished her hold at Point
Barrow, taking away the last of the Gov
ernments stock, which had been pur.
chased by the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company. TIE imprisoned whalers are
supposed to be about forty miles from
fo.nt barrow. but they might as we'll be
