A Great Mistake.

Mr.. Cleveland has made most seri-
Gus mistake. His policy in this matter
is not only precipitate and untimely,
it is madness itself. He has out-jingoed
the jingoes; and from being the en-
bodiment of sober judgment, he has be-
come the hasty abettor of political
fanaticism. In thus inviting war, he
has not shown the discretion of provid-
ing way Of escape from that altcrna-
tive. He would send his own commits
sion to investigate the merits of the
boundary claims; such meager infor-
nation as could be obtained would
come from the Venezuelans, while the
British side would be 'Inrepresented;
and the commissions verdict would
consequently be such as to lead to
threatened election of England from the
country claimed by Venezuela. The
people will wait with profound anX-
iety to know whether congress will
sanction the presidents recommends
tions. It is hardly necessary to con-
slider what England may do under the
circumstances. It is very unlikely that
she would yield, and she can therefore
only await the development of our &C.

DThat there is pressing necessity

Two Combines on Ice.
On. Y. Advertiser.)

Days like the past three, suggesting
the temperature of July and all the
practices and habits that attach t.
midsummer in metropolitan life. force
the ice problem to the surface and upon
public attention in the sharpest manner
possible. There is now no doubt of the
correctness of the announcement made
some days ago that the leading ice
companies hereaboutS had formed a
combination by which practically the
entire traffic has been placed in the
hands of few indviduals--in other
words, an ice trust viii aim to control
the supply and demand and fix the
prices for ice from now on. The Knck-
erbocker Ice Company. which for near
ly half century has been powerful
factor in the trade in the United States.
has undoubtedly been absorbed by the
Consolidated Ice Company, along VITA
numerous smaller organizations; and.
while some of them still preserve their
individual corporate existence. this
means little or nothing beyond the
name
Within the past forty-eight hours
notifications of an advance in price

small consumers all over the mctropol-
itan district. ice to families being raised

this combination not only controls the
output of the Hudson river but prac-

England. SO that competition with it

would be futile and worse-disastrous

coming from the strong organization
and the smaller concerns on the same
day and carrying the same schedule OF
prices is calculated TO confirm all pre-
Vious suspicious Of a combination. the
existence of which it is always easy to
deny and difficult to prove absolutely.
Consumers of ice in and about New
YORK must prepare themselves to pay
stun prices during the next six months.
But after that Unfortunately high prices

producing artificial ice has been re-

the manufactured article can now com

product i'll almost every latitude in this
hemisphere. 1t is generally more near
ly pure and it's toughness makes IT
more durable than pond or river ice.
Any danger to the general public that
may have lurked about an ice combina-
ton has already been discounted and
dlspeiled. The people can defy warm
winter weather and trusts. Science
and capital have come to their rescue,
and cheap ice for the masses is practi-
caily assured for all time
New York City and Brooklyn con-
sumo about $4,000 600 worth of ice every
summer. We may have to pay a little
more for it this year. but after that
there is no danger OF high prices. Ma

FORTIFiCATlON BILL.
Some OF the Provisions OF the Measure Which
Speaker Reed Favors.

The passage by the House OF the for
able interest To Portland. which is.
perhaps. the most exposed of the i'm
portant sea coast cities. writes the
Portland Press correspondent from
Washington. The Senate viii have to
act on the bill yet: but they will prob
ably not reduce the appropriation any.
How long a step in advance the bill
just passed really is may be judged by
rev Viewing briefly the history of our
efforts at coast defense.
During the forty-ninth Congress no
appropriations We're made on account
of fortificationS, their maintenance or
armament. ana for the twelve fiscal
years 1915 to 1886, inclusive. the appro-
priation by Congress on this account
averaged only S540.15 per annum. and
only 1868. 800 per annum for the fourteen
years. including 1887 and 1883, for which
two latter fiscal years no specific APP
preparations were made, as stated.
The bill just passed contains appro-
priations in continuance of the policy
adopted by the F'iftieth Congress, and
by the Fifty-frst, Fifty second and
Fifty-thrd Congresses. The appropri-
ations for those eight fiscal years, 1889
1896, aggregate So 439. PA 50, or an aver
age of SSH .06 per annun.
The amounts appropriated for each
year since 1889 have been as follows
including the appropriations for 1897
carried by the present bill:

there 80 to 40 per cent cheaper than if
they We're transported by schooners in
the usual way. Those interested in the
scheme say that experience with
former RATS has enabled them to re-
duce the risk to minimum. and they
have no doubt that the big raft will
reach san Francisco safely.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1896-04-17

Furthermore. the present bill. besides
making larger appropriations than ever
before. has also authorized contracts to
the extent of $5.542216 additional.
Thus. Congress is about to enter upon
the acquisition of means of defense to
the extent of about twelve millions of
dollars.
No attempt has been made in the bill
to fix the sites of the Notifications, or
designate the places which are to re-
ceive the most attention. AS Governor
Savers of Texas, said in the course OF
the debate, it has been thought that
these details belong to the executive
officers of the government.
The larger part of the large sums APP
propriated is for the construction OF
great guns,-those huge cylinders COM
posed of successive cylinders of steel.
shrunken one upon another. built up at
immense cost of time and money. From
1888 to the present time.-or rather up
to next July-the United States has
provided itself with sixty of the S-inch
guns. fortytwo of the 10-inch. and
twenty one Of the Finch. besides
eighty Finch mortars.
1t will be seen that the present bin
will about double the number of guns,
and mortars in possession of the gov
eminent.
in his argument for the passage Of
the bill, Mr.. Franklin Bartlett. Demo-
crat of New York, said that the present
appropriations was but the beginning.
and that in the next eight or ten years
about ten millions a year would have
to be appropriated. In all it would re-
cure $S5.000,000 for suitable system of
defenses of which $i4, 00O, 900 will be re-
quired for great guns and gun car
riages.
we are now making no guns larger
than twelve-inches calibre. But it will
be necessary to have sixteen inch guns.
England already has sixteen of the 1G-
inch monsters. France has eight and
Italy even has 17-inch guns.
