ICE BOUND NEW YORK.
Harbor Ice Cuts Off Communication With
Staten Island.

ST. GEORGE, S. l., January 12.-Staten
Island is isolated from the outside world
today on account of the great fields of
ice in the lower bay, as well as the up
per bay and in the Kills. This forenoon
the whole fleet of the Staten Island Rap
id Transit Company was stuck fast in the
ice at various points between st. Gorge
and New York. UP to noon there had
been no boat from st. George to New
York since 9. 10, when the Erastus Wi
man left, heavily loaded with passen-
gers and was soon fast in the ice.
There are several tugs with heavy
coal tows fast in the Kills, and the boat
men say there has not been such heavy
ice in the bays for many years. The
Sandy Hook pilots are in a dilemma, and
are unable to get to their boats, which
are anchored off the east shore Of Staten
Island.
A fierce snow storm is prevailing on
the island and the cold is intense. The
ferry between Port Richmond, S. l., and
Boyonne, N. j., is also closed.
NEW YORK, January 12.-Ice is run
ming very heavy tonight in the lower
bay. Reports from quarantine state
the steamship Massachusetts, from Lon
don, anchored in quarantine last evening,
is dragging anchor chains and being
forced slowly down the bay by
huge cakes.
Two oil tanks and two coal barges, the
latter torn from anchorage at Tomkins-
vile, are also being carried down the
lower bay by ice. Six boats are fast in
ice in the upper harbor. The foe in the
sound at City Island is unprecedented
Numbers of tugs, sehooners and barges
bound south and east are ice and weather
bound at that point. The sound is full
of slush ice as far as Captains Island.
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. j., January
12.-The pilot boat James Gordon Ben
nett, lies broadside on the beach near
Seabright, the sea breaking over her.
The Bennet. became fast in the ice this
morning, with the current setting on the
shore. She struck the beach broadside
up and will probably go to pieces before
morning. Men on board landed safely.

CANADA AND THE uN TED STATES
The Governor General Talks About Trade
&. Relations.

CHATHAM, Ont, January 12.-The
Governor General, who is making a tour
of the Province, arrived here yesterday.
In replying to an address he referred to
Canada's trade relations with the United
States. He said that he would not ven
ture on anything further than to say to
those who were agitating for changes in
the trade relations of the country that it
would be well to reflect on what has been
said by thoughtful Canadians on this
question, by the late Sir John Macdonald
by Sir Oliver MowatE the liberal minded
Premier of Ontario; by SirzJ John Thomp-
son and other members Of the present
Mills, who had recently delivered an ad-
If remembered rightly Mills
had counseled care and de-
liberation in dealing with the condition
of affairs of Canada at this time. He
had said that Canadians should calmly
consider what the proposed changes in
volved and be careful that they did not
barter their national future for the pros
poets or immediate trade gain. He be-
lieved that an undercurrent of warm
feeling towards the United States ex-
listed in Canada, and that Canadians
were anxious to cherish those feelings of
friendliness and kinship, and also ex-
tend trade relations with their neighbors
within the lines of the constitution, and
having in mind the best interests of
Canada, both present and future. A
trade bargain could be bad trade bar
gain. but he felt and believed that when
the time came to make one, Canadians
would be governed in arranging it by the
highest and worthiest considerations,
and in accord with the truest and best
sentiments of loyal and patriotic peo le.

rhe German Army BIN.

RERLIN, January 12.-Chancellor Won
Caprivi last night attended meeting of
a Reichstag committee of 2S, appointed
to consider the army bill, and made an
important speech setting forth the ne
cessity for the adoption of the bill with,
out change or modification. He referred
to the possibility of an attack made up
upon the nations composing triple al
lance. He said if such an attack was
made the chief onslaught of the attack
inc forces would doubtless be directed
against Germany as the strongest mem
Der of the triple alliance. Experience
had shown that when war was declared
it was best for Germany to take the Of
fensive. The government would not be
able to take thesresponsibility of the fu-
ture defence of the country unless her
arnaments were increased.
Gladstone's Irish Plan.
LONDON, January 1.-THE Morning
says that it's French correspondent, who
is an intimate friend of the prime minis
ter, is strongly of the opinion that Mr..
Gladstone intends to ''dish'' Mr.. Labou-
chere and upset the Unionists by repeal
ing the act forbidding the Irish Parlia-
ment to meet in Dublin, instead OF
presenting the home rule bill. ALI that
would be required then, says the cores
pondent, would be the adoption of res
olution by the privy council permitting
the members to meet in Dublin and a
short act empowering them to pass local
acts, leaving bills affecting property and
taxation to be debated at Westminster.
