A PROCESSION OF ICEBERGs.
A Phenomenal sight off the COAST
of Newton m Il laud.

During the last week we witnessed an un
usual phenomenon at this season OF the yesr
says st. Johns, N. f., letter A long pro
cession OF ieebergs has been passing our
shores, slowly pursuing their southern
march on the bosom of the Arctic current,
and we have not seen the last of these gilt
tering wanderers of the deep. Frequently
sixty or seventy were visible at the same
time from the top Of Signal Hill, They are
OF all shapes and sizes-some lofty and tur-
reted, some dome-shaped or fiat, some hay

A few were of immense size-low, flat is

Conception Bay, near Raccalien Island.
length. Another in the same neighborhood
was estimated to be over three-quarters of a
mile.
One peculiarity OF them was that they ap-
peared to follow each other as II arranged
in single line of march, but at irregular
distances. This is accounted for by the
suppositi0n that the bulk of them are frag-
ments of an enormous ice mass which was
seen on the Labrador coast some time ago.
II the accounts of two captains who were
close to 1t can be relied on, this was the
largest iceberg ever seen In northern lati-
tudes. One of the captains estimated 1t to
be fifteen miles In length and and three or
four In breadth; the other made 1t twenty
miles. Allowing liberal margin for the
excited imaginations OF these worthy
shippers, this must have been an astonishing
island of Ice. As 1t did not make Its appear
ance of our shores In its full dimensions,
the great probability is that II grounded on
some rocky ledge. By the action OF the
summer sun its joinls had become loosened,
and by the rising and falling tide, and the
force OF the wave as 1t hung on the ledge,
great fragments were snapped off, and fall
ing. one by one, with sullen plunge into the
waves, fioated off as icebergs, thus in part
creating the ghostly procession which has
been filing along our shores for the past ten
days. All OF the immense group, however,
could not have had the same origin. "The
oldest inhabitant" does not remember any
thing approaching to the ice phenomena OF
this year.
In ordinary years few icebergs are seen
after the lsi OF August. But now we have a
huge fleet OF them sailing past in the middle
of September and chilling our atmosphere.
Since the lie ginning OF February, stream
OF icebergs .apd foes have been passing at
intervals Some great ice movement must
have occurred in the Arctic regions of an
unusual character TO cause such an abnor-
NAL disagreement and call into existence
the vast ice argosies Of the last seven
months. As Il consequence the supply OF
the next few years may be comparatively
SIN all, and we may have bnt few of these
mighty wanderers OF the deep. Arctic ware

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2I.--The ffthlday's session
of the cattlemen's conventitn opened at
1910 this morning. Gen. Brisain, of Idaho,
called attention to verbal defects in the
constitution adopted yesterday by which a
number of stock associations wsfe excluded
from membership In the association and
moved reconsideration OF the vote by
which the constitution was adopted and a
recommittal OF the Instrument to new
committee OF seven for revision, with IN
structions to especially amend the clause by
which the basis OF representation was fixed
as one delegate for each ten members Of the
association In each State or Territory. After
discussion the question was divided and the
motion to reconsider the action by which
the constitution was adopted prevailed, and
the constitution was thus brought directly
before the convention for action.
General Curtis, OF New York announced
that collection would be taken from the
delegates for the relief OF sufferers from the
drought in yhirginia West Virginia l,h .sa. and
applause and the sum OF 1920 was raised In
few moments for transmission to Messrs.
Jubal A. Early and Chas. W. Britton, Of

extended congratulations to President elect
Cleveland and Vice Presidentelect Hen
drieks.
A paper By Captain silas Bent. OF St: Louis,
representing the Los Animas, Colorado,
association, on the meteorology Of eplains,
was ordered spread on the records.
The Chair then appointed a committee to
which was referred the revision OF the con
stitution and bylaws.
A resolution that Congress be memoralized
to enact law compelling the railroads to
use siat cars for the transportation of cattle
was referred to the Committee on Constitu-
tion. Gen. N. N. Curtis, of the Committee
appointed to confer with the Committee Of
the Chicago Convention, made a verbal re-
port that the two Committees had been un-
able to agree on the question OF merging the
two associations into one. On vote 1t was
agreed to discharge the Committee, as they
were unable TO make report.
Mr.. Stewart, OF Montana, on a question OF
privilege, expressed desire to put the del
egattons OF his Territory on record as unani-
mously opposed to action on the trail ques-
tion taken by the Convention yesterday. He
gave as reason the oyercrowded state OF
the cattle markets of the northwest. which
he feared would be made worse II the pro-

away from her home in Waterford, W. Va,
with John Ash, negro servant in the fam

A LIBEL SUIT.
The Name Of Judge Coieridge
Dragged into Court.

LONDON, Nov. 2l.--A noteworthy hpei case
was begun to-day. Frank Mantel Adams
London barrister, sued Bernard coleridge,
son of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge Adams
conducted his own case His opening speech
states that he was engaged to daughter of
Judee coleridge: the Judge objected to him
for son-in-law, and induced his son Ber-
10 "a "a write a letter to his daughter libel
ina rim fAdams.) The young lady turned the
iat,ar over to her betr0thed. This led to
har emulsion from her fathers house and
the expurging OF her name from her fathers
viii The defendant entered plea that the
letter was a privileged communication. The
letter written by Bernard Coleridge to his
sister warned her that Adams was prompted
only by a desire to gain meney and position.
Adams had admitted, so the letter alleged,
that he considered Miss Colridge to be void
OF personal charms. Adams to-day denied
all OF the statements In Bernard's
letter and said Bernard was actuated by a
desire to. get control Of his sisters
money. Adams contended that Bernard and
his father had thrust the marriage upon
him. He was thrown much in the society
OF Miss Coleridge In charitable institution
OF which he was Secretary and she was a
member. At that time he had no idea OF
marriage. He was much astonished when
he received a letter from Lord Coleridge
breaking off the engagement. The Judge
ruled that these statemcnts were inadmisE-
able. Adams replied In that case he might
as well throw up his briefs.

sented that Mr.Tildcn's election was not sure,
deferred the shave until the final result was
