M. PICARD HAS HIGH TILE.
Comes to America With Rank Equal
to Ambassador.


The sailing of NJ Picard, delegate
of the French government to the st.
Louis exposition, from Havre, France,
brought out notable demonstration.
A number of leading officials were
present on the quay, and the band
of the Garde republic, which sailed
on the same vessel, played the Mar
seilles'' amid great enthusiasm.
The French government attaches UNI
usual Importance to NJ Picard's mis-
sion, as he is one of the foremost fig
ures of France. He declined to ac-
cept the position of commissioner gen
eral and therefore it was decided tc
concentrate in him the title of dele
gate of the French government. This
makes M. Picard the personal repre-
sentative of President Loubet and the
government, giving him the rank sim
liar to that of an ambassador. He
will visit Oyster Bay and st. Louis
and then make a tour of points be
tween Buffalo, Boston and New York
AS member of the council of state

SOLID ICE
Discovery Is
Made Near Town
Of SiSSOn.
Special Dispatch to The caIl.

REDDING. Dec. 15.-While shoveling
gravel from a pit at Black Butte Noun
tain. five miles above Sisson, Southern
Pacific workmen have discovered a vast
underground sea Of ice that is believed
to have been formed in prehistoric
times. Some are of the opinion that the
Black Butte Mountain that now rears
its peak skyward came into existence
after the formation of the ice.
The Black Butte Mountain is a great
source of supply of ballast for the rail-
road company. The ice was discovered
after vast quantity of gravel had
been removed from the mountain. The
ice is said to be of a good grade. and it
is possible the company may utilize it's
find by developing it into an ice quarry.
The ice appears TO be almost one solid

in the west of Ireland. promises that
should the relief of the existing dis
tress there prove an excessive burden

purchase.
DUBLIN, Dec. 15.-The meeting Of
the Irish Parliamentary party to dis
cuss the distress in the west of Ireland
and consider means to force the Gov
ernment to provide for the immediate
necessities and put the land act in
operation in Connaught and other poor
districts" was held here to-day under
the presidency of John Redmond. A
resolution was passed condemning the
Government for the existing distress in
steps be taken to relieve 1t, and also
demanding that powers be given for
the distribution of land in the poor dis
tricts. The local Government board,
however to some degree, forestalled
the meeting by taking steps which, 1t
is considered, will be effective in reliev-
ing the tenants who are affected by
the failure of the potato crop.
One of the resolutions adopted to-day
was as follows:
1--WE feel bound to condemn in the
strongest terms the conduct Of Irish
landlords IN aggravating the distress
by pressing for full rents and arrears
in this disastrous year and issuing
ejectment processes by wholesale. We
believe that these proceedings are a
direct conspiracy for the purpose of
coercing the people to agree to the pur-
chase Of their holdings at ruinous
prices"

company turned the best securities into

advanced in value and were worth more
than they had cost him.
Russell B. Harrison and his sister,
being interested in the residuary es-
tate, objected to the placing Of the Sc
curities at their cost in the widow S
fund, and contended that they should
have been listed at their value. They
showed the court that the trust fund
instead of being $125,000. was really
$140, 900. and asked that the court order
the $4,000 increase to be placed in the
residuary estate.
Judge Allen held to-day that the
trust company had acted in accordance
with the provisions Of the will, and that
the securities should go into the fund
at their cost to Mr.. Harrison, regard
less of what they may be worth on
the market now.
