SUBMARINE COAL
BEDS ARE LEGION.
AND IT SEEMS THEY ARE GOING TO
WORK THEM IN NOVA SCOTIA
MAN WHO HAS THE IDEA.

New York, Dec a4.-An operation
unique in the history of Nova Scotia is
planned by Ochiltree Mcdonald who has
bonded coal areas near Pot Moricn. ac-
cording to dispatch from Glace Bay.
N S. to the Times. The coal areas which
he controls are wholly submarine and he
is planning to sink shaft on a rocky
islet known as Flint Rock, mining his
coal from under the ocean bed.
There seems to be no doubt that during
succeeding generations submarine mining
will be carried on extensively in Cape
Breton, which has large fields of sub
merged coalbeds.

German governments preference is very
decidedly in favor of arbitration through

the president will reach an early decision,
whereas The Hague court would take
many months. The officials also insist
that it is to the advantage of the United
States to have the president decide the
matter.

sailed from Hamburg for Venezuela yes

Minister Bowen and the government of

His Honor Can Not See It That Way An Appeal viii
Be Taken at Once From His Ruling.

In the case OF George II. Cotter against
the Butte & Ruby Valley Smelling com

Boston, Dec. a4.-The possibility Of fur
ther violent outbreaks of Pelee and Souf-
friere this month has been suggested by
several persons who have studied the dis
turbances of the last few months there and
who have some reputation as scientific ex-
perts. One man, DR.. Jaggar of Harvard,
by no means SO eminent an authority as
the geologist Shaler, also of Cambridge,
thinks that he has detected tendency to
eruptons at steadily increasing intervals.
He therefore looks for fresh trouble about
December 80.
Expectation has also been excited in
dcpendently by the supposition that the
cause of eruptions is the same that pro-
duces ocean tides-the attractions of the
sun and moon, operating in the same drec-
tion. To this theory Prof. Robert T. Hill
of the United States geological survey has
given some countenance, although he does

HAVE NOT HEARD FROM
MARIETTA'S COMMANDER

The navy department up to noon today
had received no word rom Commander
Diehl of the Marietta concerning his re-
ported protest against the action of the
blockading squadron at Caracas in refusing
to allow the Red Liner Caracas to remain
in the harbor yesterday long enough to
discharge her cargo. No request for in
structions have come from him. The off
cials of the department have entire conf
dence in Commander Dieh's ability to
handle the situation, and unless they hear
something from him in the shape of pro-
test against the action of the allies they
will make no move.
AS rule it is agreed that bockading
fleet can do pretty much as it likes. 1t is
intimated, as a possible reason for the
position taken by the allies in declining to
allow the Caracas to remain in the harbor
at night, that in the dark it will be difficult
to exercise surveillance of what was being
taken out of her hold. For the same
reason the allies have decided that she
should not return to the harbor, but should
take on her passengers outside.
