EDITOR HERALD: In your Issue
Of this morning you state that an
officer can only make an arrest
either upon warrant or when he
sees the crime committed. This 10
q mistake. Under section 1856 OF
the Penal Code an officer may
without q warrant arrest q person
in the following cases:
|. For public offsnse commit
ted or attempted in his presence.
2. When person arrested has
committed felony, although not
In his presence.
8. When a felony has In fact
been com mitted and he has reason:
able cause for believing the person
arrested to have committed it.
4. On charge made upon rea.
sonable cause of the commission Of
q felony by the party arrested.
s. At night when there is reason
able cause to believe that he has
committed felony.
Under our local law q felony lie q
crime which Is punishable with
death or by imprisonment In the
State Prison.

crime of dessrtion. He was liable

If Berry's version be correct he
was In danger Of his life and would
have been shot had he not acted on

higher military authorities, and several
new lines have been suggested, all of
which, if | am correctly informed,
leave Epirus almost intact, but give
to Greece a larger portion of Thessaly
than was previously offered. The
recent disturbances in the vilayet Of
Kossovo and the suspicious attitude
of the Southern Albanians, who are
known to be in relation with the in
surrectionary movement, make the
Sultan more than ever reluctant to
cede any part of Epirus, which 10 re-
garded by the Albanians as an integ-
raj part of the Albanian territory.
On the other hand, the increasing
financial difficulties make His Majesty
more than ever DESTROYS of finding a
pacific solution of the question. The
Minister of Finance finds that the.
proposed contribution from the inha-
bitants of C~onstantinople and the
forced loan from the holders of real
property will not suffice to meet the
pressing demands for ready money
OF his colleague at the War Office,
and he is accordingly compelled to.
apply to 1.-THE Galata bankers for a
considerable advance. He. will pro-
baby succeed in obtaining at least
a part fthe sum which he desires,
but the condition. are likely to be
more onerous than on any previous
occasion.

DTSLOCATlON AND REMOVAL OF IcR on RI
vRRs.-Last winter, 1t will be remembered, the
Loire became seriously blocked with ice about
where the Ind sc joins it (whers ara two small
isl ands). The manner in which this was dealt
with by q detachment Of the French Artillery
Service Offers various interesting points. The
proceedings have been lately described in.
the Revue GArtilIerie. Blasting with dyna-
mite aud firing SHELLS were variously tried.
The chief results Of the expsrime nts are
these For surface sheets of Joe on q river
not thicker than 25 to 80 oentim6tres, with
the water running below, the best method con-
~siststin the use of dynamite 10 small pstards of
600 to 400 grammss lodged between the Toe
and the water, and fred by electricity, In
groups of two or more, giving Simultaneous
explosion. The work is begun down stream,
and the stream carries off the detached pieces.
For massive banks of ice, occupying the whole
or nearly so, of The river bed, mine chambers
of considerable Size. holding one or two kilo-
grammes or more of dynamite, give effects of
local psrforation which are almost surely effeo-
tuaf in the long run where the work is judi
o~iously done. But it is q slow process, and
where the bauk attacked amounts, az 10 the
present case to several hundred metres In sx.
tent, this slowness may be a very grave objee-
ton. For suoh ice-bauks Q Well-dlrected hre
Of cannon and mortar, sending shells with per-
cussive fuses, proves best, efecting a speedy
