HUDSON BREAKS UP.
Arrangements Completed for the Harvest
ing of the Ice.


Albany, N. Y, Jan. GA heavy storm
of sleet and snow prevailed in this sec
ton today. The storm is accompanied
by warm temperature which has had a
disastrous effect on the ice industry of
the upper Hudson. Preliminary arrange
ments had been made for the harvest
ing of the season. Last evening the ice
was nearly six and one half inches
thick and was in fair condition. Many
icemen had fields scraped and marked
and ready for the cutting At 10 o'clock
last night the ice opposite the lumber
district which had been marked and
partly cut by the Hudson Valley Ice
Company, began to move. A force of
men had been at work during the day,
and considering the field perfectly safe,
left several hundred dollars worth of
tools and appliances. AS soon as the
field broke up these went to the bottom
L. =. PolheTnus, who had been in
charge, and several other men, at
tempted to save the tools and partly
succeeded. Mr.. Pohhemus reached shore
as the Geld moved out. The Consoli-
dated Ice Co. and Parker Hall, who
have been cutting near Lagoon island,
lost 5000 worth of tools and lumber This
evening there was a heavy freshet in
the river.

Admiral Dewey HoDored Yesterday by
his Friends and Nsls hDois.

MONTPELIER, VT, October l2-The
State of Vermont gave welcome 10 Adj
miral Dewey to-day with parade ana a
reception at the State House. The weather
was perfect and $1,000 visitors joined with
the heros townsmen IA me ceieoratlon.
Never before has there been such q mass
ing OF people and SO elaborate demonstra-
ton in the history of Vermont. The town
was handsomely decorated.
Old friends and neignbors were received
by the Admiral during most - the fore
noon.
shortly before noon he went 20 the res
idence of his brother, where a family
gathering was he'd and luncheon was
served. The occasion was very happy
one, as there were quite q number of the
Admirals relatives present
The celebration began III . o'clock With
the firing OF an admlrars salute BY the
Norwich cadets. Then a band concert took
place. AT noon the governors salute was
nred and Immediately afterward the
column for the parade was formed
At one O'Clock the Admiral returned 10
the car. and a few inmates later received
a special committee from the State. wlo
informed the distinguished guest that they

remainder Of the day.
Soon after, in closed carriage the Ad-
miral accompanied them to the executive
mansion, where he was formally presented
to Governor Smith ana Mayor Senter
Lieut. Brumby flag lieutenant, accompa-
MED the Admiral.
Admiral Dewey there donned his uniform
of full Admiral of the navy and then. with
the State and city committees entered a
landau, and through long lines OF cheering
people, was driven 10 the foot of state
street, where a column of about 500 men
were waiting to participate IN the parade.
The parade began at 2:90 and the route,
nearly three miles in length. lay through
streets lined with bunting and flags The
cheering was continuous and the Admiral
was kept busy during the entire time in
returning the greetings.
When the parade was completed Gov.
Smith extended to Admiral Dewey the wei
come Of the State Of Vermont al the
same time presenting TO him IA medal which
the state had enacted should be given him
as a memorial. Then the mayor offered

ANOTHER FIND.
More Parts of Human Body Fished
Out of the River at New York.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE police
department reported to-day that a
bundle supposed to contain human en-
trails, had been found in the East river
at the foot of Dover street. The bum
die was wrapped in cheese cloth and
was sent to the morgue by order OF
the coroner.
The find was wrapped in white cam
vass bag two and half feet long and
sixteen inches wide. The flesh was
covered with blood and with it were
four small and one large piece of medi-
Gated gauze soaked with blood.A lot
of what is supposed to be surgical cot
ton was also found in a corner of the
bag.
On the inside of the bag off towards
one corner was found the letters M. A.
T. The letters were an inch and quar-
ter in height.
There was nothing else about the bag
that would lead to Identification.
There seems little doubt that this new
fragment is part Of the body of the
woman whose left thigh was found in
West 18th street, last Saturday but I'M
less the head or some portion of the
body bearing scar or birthmark
should be found, the police despair of
unraveling the mystery. One line on
which the detectives were working has
come to nothing as the parents of Mrs.
Gertrude Billings, whose husband re-
ported her missing, say they know
where she is and that she is in good
health
At the morgue it was said that the
bundle fished out of the East river con-
tanned nothing to show any connection
with the murder case.

CANADA CONSENTS
To Temporary Arrangement of the
Alaskan Boundry Dispute.

LONDON. October 12.-Sir Louis
Henry Davis, Canadian minister of ma
rine and fisheries, informs the Associa-
ted Press that he has give Canada's
consent to a temporary arrangement of
the Alaskan dispute This has practi-
cally settled the whole matter for the
time being, as the main features of the
arrangements were originally suggested
by the United States.
Col. John Hay, the American Secre-
tary of State. will sign the last papers
within few days. and Reginald Tower
British Charge d'Affaires in Washing
ton, will ratify on behalf of Great Brit
ain.
Sir Louis Davies said this evening:
The terms agreed upon are simply
a line drawn across Chilkat Pass, de-
Eliminated by the river and mountain
top. 1t has absolutely no significance
except that we hope thereby to avert
local friction. OF course an arrival at
even temporary agreement is salts
factory, So far as the original conten-
ton is concerned. we are just as misty
as ever. l see no signs of reaching an
immediate settlement.
Canada relinquishes no claim by her
assent to this temporary arrangement
and she has not the slightest intention
of allowing her original contention TO
lapse into o5scurity. 1t is not our pur-
pose TO permit this new understanding
to extend day longer than is necessary.
The fact that ! am returning to Canada
must not be taken to indicate that a
settlement Will be reached by the date
OF my leaving England. My return is
necessitated by matters altogether out
side the Alaskan affair
Il am, however, working in conjunc-
ton with the Colonial Office on the
case. 1t will not come before the joint
high commission unless a diplomatic
settlement is previously attained"

of Neutrality.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October r.
The following official statement was is
sued by Vhe State department to-day:
THE President has received a large
number of petitions signed by many
citizens of distinction requesting him
to tender the mediation fthe United
States to settle he differences exising
between the government of Great Brit
ain and that of the Transvaal He has
received other petitions on the same
subject, some of them desiring him to
make common cause with Great Brit
ain to redress the wrongs alleged to
have been suffered by the Outlanders,
and especially by American citizens in
the Transvaal, and others wishing him
to assist the Beers against alleged ag-
gression.
1T is understood that the President
does not think it expedient to take ac-
ion in any of these directions AS to
taking sides with either party to the
dispute, it is not to be though of. AS
to mediation, the President has received
no intimation from either of the coun-
tries interested that the mediation of
the United States would be accepted. and
in the absence of such intimation from
both parties there is nothing in the
rules of international usage to justify
an offer Of mediation in the present
circumstances.

daughter of the wealthiest citizen of the
county, and Joseph Dillon were mar
ried. A wedding supper followed,
about sixty guests being present. Soon
after, every guest with the exception
of probably half dozen, became vio-
lently i'll. Half a dozen physicians
were summoned and they spent the
remainder of the night working with
the unfortunates, all of whom had
been poisoned.
No fatalities are yet reported, but a
number are yet in critical condition,
among them being both the bride and
groom. The origin of the poison is a
mystery, but some believe it came
through eating slaw made from cab
bage which had, while growing, been
sprinkled with paris green for the pur-
pose of killing bugs and insects.
The festivities were to have ended
last night with grand ball, but the
ball room was turned into a hospital.
Among those poisoned are some Of
