PRIoE ONE GENT
THE HARBOR WAS OPENED.
ICEBOAT 'IATROBE" COMES
AT OPPORTUNE TIME.
Three Schooners of Oysters Manage
to Get Into Port Today
BY The Aid of
Tug Boats.

For sometime this morning the An
napolis harbor was open 20 the passage
OF boats. The channel was opaned
last night by the iceboat Latrobe.
which laid in harbor all night.
This morning She again went ont in
the bay 10 open channel into south

in the harbor by the energetic ice
crusher aud had it been possible to
maintain the open water, little diff
Guilty would have been experienced in
getting in and out
The channel itself, however, soon
closed and those boats which did not
take advantage of the hiatus were
forced to remain at their old anchor

in the harbor for several days, man.

Sonor and Rio Grande, stone ladeu for
No Point, which have been ice bound
here for some time.
The opening of the channel did quite
a little to lift the embargo on oysters.

some time awaiting favorable oppor-
tunity TO run in here. She fought her
way TO the dock of q. W. Martin 81

good grade of oysters.
The next schooner laden with oys.

the e. j. Henkle, Capt. Thomas Dor

100 bushels. Scarcely was she unload.

Will Come Up Wednesday

1t is thought that the question Of
considering the bill appointing to the
navy the three midshipmen expelled
from the Naval Academy for hazing,
will come up for final settlement to-
morrow. In spite of the fact that the
bill was recommended by the Presi-
dent. considerable opposition has de-
veloped in the House and Senate and
many are the conjectures that it will
not pass.

THEY FORGOT THE GREASE.
AND DAMAGE TO SEVERN
DRAW RESULTS.
Contractor Lowry Wrothy Because
His Pay Has Not Been Paid
to Him On This
Account

Because some one neglected TO mt n
few ounces of axle grease on eertafl
running parts of the new Severn river
draw which was but recently turned
over 20 the county commissioners there
was tempest in tea pot at the
meeting of that body this afternoon.
Just who should have done the greas.
ing or who is responsible for the dam.
age which resulted was not decided
but Contractor Lowry, who erecteu
the bridge, claims that he is held out
of his money by that reason.
Some time since the contractor mt
in his bill for the amount said TO be
still owing him for the erection of the
bridge, but because of the fact that
the men whom the commissioners had
appointed to look at the bridge and in.
speet it prior TO its acceptance by the
board had failed TO make their report.
Lowry could not collect. When he
appeared before the board this after.
uoon he was somewhat wrothv. He
stated that he had performed his work,
that the bridge was completed accord
ing to the specifications, and that he
was OF the Impression that ne should
be given his money.
Then it was stated by President
Brooke, of the board, that the men
who had inspected the bridge were
not present at the meeting although
they had promised to attend and make
their report. To this Lowry replied
that it was no fault of his that the
commissioners or their employees were
negligent, that he had lost consider
able time in attending the meeting OF
the board aud could not be expected TO
be continually running after them.
Then the fact was produced that
someone bad neglected TO oil the run
ming parts of the bridge and had been
greatly damaged. Lowry stated that
this was not his fault, that he was not
expected TO stand beside the draw and
keep it oiled Mr.. Bannon, counsel
to the board. came to his rescue and
stated that the board could not hold
him responsible because someone else
had failed TO properly attend to the
machinery after it had been placed in
his hands
A vote was taken in which Mr.
Lowry was absolved from any blame
in connection with any damage which
might have been done as the result of
failure to properly oil the bridge.
Then the matter of his bill was
taken up.

Canala,s Increased Foundation

William E. Curtis, in writing of the wonderful increase in population being scored by the Northwest territory says;
 Tn l,-l Canada had 4,32+Sl0 inhab- itauts. During the next ten years it increased 1897 per cent to 4,S33, ,239. During the next ten years it increased u.G6 per cent to a total of 6,57l, ll5 in 1901, and according to the best author itiJs net less than 50O,O0O have been added 10 that total during the past four years.
 "The greater part of this increase practically all of it-has been in the northwest. British Columbia, during the last ten years, has increased S2 per cent, Manitoba 67 per cent and the territcries-the new provinces which l wrote ab -ut-have more than doubled their population during the last four years. For example, in 1891 the ter ritories had 9S,067 inhabitants; in 1901 they had 2i1,649, and they are now credited with 500.000 people,"

Lava Streams

It is scientifically reported that the lava streams from VeSUyius in 1858 were 50 hot twelve years later that steam was issuing from the cracks and crevices, while the lava beds from the eruption of Etna were found to. be Ste.ming hot just below the top crust as late as lS4O. But still more remark able are the scientific reports of the. volcano Jorullo, in Mexico. This sent forth immense streams of lava in L7j9. In l7SO the lava beds were examined by party of scientists, and 1t was found that a stick thrust into the crev- ices instantly ignited although there was no discomfort experienced in walk ing on the hardened crust. Again some forty years after the eruption, it was visited by scientists and reported to be steaming in many places, and even eighty-seven years after the eruption two column of steaming vapor were found to be issuing from the creviceS. Sometimes the upper crust of such stream of lava cools so that plants and lichens find a ppecarious. growth on the surface while few feet beneath the lava is almost red hot.
