THE BIG CHANNEL CUTTERS MAY
REPORT AT NEW CASTLE THIS
WEEK.
Upon the change of tide in the Della
ware last evening floating ice began TO
pack up on both shores we'll out toward
mid-stream
The ice has now formed itself into
fields, and both above and below New
Castle i'm the river channel it is stated
there is a large amount of It, and it is
of sufficient thickness to make it dan
gerous to wooden vessels. 1t is heav-
lest near Wilmington.
The Maritime Exchange, i'm view Of
the amount of ice now in the rivers and
the likelihood that the weather will
continue cold for some time, will prob
ably renew its request Of Director
Thompson that an ice-boat be placed in
commission. Shortly after its first re-
quest OF this kind was made this Win
ter the weather became milder, and
much of the ice that had been on the
river disappeared The director in his
reply to the Exchange stated that he
would have a boat placed in commits
sion as soon as It would be necessary.

II Scares Nobody.

The idea that in event of trouble
with the United States, Spain and
Japan might seek to unite their efforts
is one as likely to suggest itself to the
imagination of q correspondent as to
the matter ef-fact mind of a states
man. That such an alliance has al
ready been formed is very doubtful
and if it has will not Influence Uncle
Sam unless it induces him to be a little
more insstent for his rights.
OF course such a war, which is most
improbable would inhict coffsidcra bic
injury upon the coasts of this country,
1t would also serve to create distur-
bance such as always affects business
and values in time of war But all
this has no terrors for the average
American when he considers that the
attack could only come about in resist
ance to policies which this government
must maintain so long as it maintains
its self respect.
Not the annexationistS alone, but
those who contend that a protectorate
over Hawaii satisfies conditions would
if true to their doctrines, be compelled
to lend their most earnest support in
