Chair Not Sustained

The appeal from the chairs decision
was carried by n vote Of seventeen to
twelve, and the motion OF Mr. Mills to
resclnd the previous action Of the Coun-
Gil was sidetrackcd. The report In full,
along with tho substitute ordinance, was
then read. AZ
After about half Of the ordinance had
been read--all that part describing the
new lInes-Mr Bottom moved that the
further reading DO dispensed with. While
opposing this and desiring the document
read at length, President Peters put tho
question and It was carried,
Mr.. Bottom dsclalmed any discourtesy
to the chair In making the motion and
made plea that the ordinance be passed,
IIe claimed that this ordinance would pro-
vide for manufacturing sites and would
meet the demands Of the people and at
tho same time dispose satisfactorily OF
tho annexation question.
Mr., Mills also advocated the acceptance
OF the report from the committee, Flo
said that 1t had come to him that amend
ments were to he offered for tho purpose
of leaving outside Of the lines few

That Large Diamond.

Take handful of putty the size of
an ordinary four pound iron weight to
it roughly into round mass, and you
will have approximately the size of
the newly found diamond unearthed in
Pretoria. Such a gem, it is said by
New York diamond experts, is too
large for wear. In all probability it
will be cut up into smaller stones.
Even if it is kept intact it probably
will lose from 40 to 60 per cent in cut
ting. 1t is of 5000 carat, valued at
$5,000,0O0.

CALLED TO THE RED FLAG,

Factory Hands Asked to Join Social
Democratic Party of Russia.
Petersburg Feb. 9.-For the mo-
ment the startling crime in Helsingfors
has withdrawn attention from the
strike situation throughout Russia.
Today's events in Poland and the eau
casosu however are quite serious
enough in themselves. Disorders in the
smaller industrial towns of Poland
have added more than score to the
total of the killed and troops2have been
sent to Warsaw and Kulno SO miles
west of Warsaw to quell uprisings
there. The strike conditions in the
Cacasus are becoming worse and traffic
on the Transcaucasian railway is in
terrupted.
The men employed in three St. Pet
ersburg factories threatened to walk
out yesterday but the grievance in this
instance which was over strike pay,
was settled at a conference.
A large nail factory in the Vassiaos-
troff section was burned yesterday, and
reports of incendiarism were current,
but appear to have been based on pre-
sumption rather than proof.
The central committee of the Rus.
sian social democratic work men IS party
has issued violent proclamation,
which has been widely circulated in
the factories of St. Petersburg, calling
on the operatives to array themselves
under the red flag of the social demo-
cracy and prepare for an armed renew
al of the January demonstrations The
proclamation bitterly assails church
and state and the high classes, and
concludes:
"In order to gain victory we must
organize vast workman's army. Then
again will we start for the palace to
present our demands, not with ikons
and not with applications, but with
arms in our hands, under the blood red
standard of the Russian social demo-
cratic party"

UPPER ATLANTIC COAST HAD AN
ARCTIC APPEARANCE.
Ice FIoes Completely Filled the Har-

Have Narrow Eseape-Deiaware
River Full Of Ice.

New York, Feb. 6.-Ice foes COM
pletely filled New York harbor Sun
day, completely rendering the passage
Of vessels into and out of the port
slow and difficult. In the narrows the
ice pack was so dense that even the
powerful transatlantic liners had trou-
BILE in forcing passage. One of the
serious results of the presence of vast
foes in the lower bay during the past
four days has been the breaking and
carrying away of great numbers of
spar and can buoys in the various
ship channels. Captains of coastwise
steamers and Sandy Hook pilots have
reported number of narrow escapes
from grounding caused by the displace-
ment of buoys.
All the steamers of the sound fleet
have arrived safely, although several
hours late. Their captains reported
that heavy ice was encountered
ton was barely possible On several
occasions the fleet of New York bound
steamers was compelled to unite and
attack the ice in wedge formation. Ow-
ing to "a change in the wind the North
and East rivers were comparatively
clear of ice during the day, and the fer
ries were operated with little Interrupt
iton.
Marrow Escape of Crew of 80.
Lewes, Del, Feb. 6.-Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning Sunday in
the icy waters of the Harbor of Ref
uge at the Delaware breakwater, and
after being rescued with the greatest
difficulty by the crews of two tugs
they were forced to make their way
to shore afoot over the heavy ice foes
with which the Delaware river and
bay is blocked. The men whose lives
were imperiled were Captain Jacobs
and his crew of 20 men of the Phila-
delphia city iceboat No. 8, which made
it's way from Philadelphia in an effort
to make channel for vessels ice
bound at the breakwater.
The iceboat collided with the sunken
barge Santiago, the masts and buoys
of which had been carried away by lne
ice jam. The iceboat had become
wedged in the mass of ice between the
Harbor of Refuge and the old break
water and was unable to proceed.
While drifting in this manner the ice
boat struck the barge and large hole
was stove in her hull. Captain Jacobs
signals of distress were answered by
the tugs Teaser and Boxer. The tugs
experienced much difficulty in reach
ing the rapidly sinking iceboat. The
ice jam prevented the tugs from dock
ing and the crew of the iceboat. after
being taken off, stiff from exposure
and nearly exhausted, managed to
complete a perilous afoot across the
ice fields to shore.
Navigation is almost at a standstin
on the Delaware because of the ice
which is jamming from the stream
from Trenton, N. j., to Breakwater,
and extends nearly 10 miles out to sea-
There is large feet of vess els of all
kinds at the breakwater unable to
make any Roadway against the jam.

PEACE RUMOR again
GRAND DUCAL PARTY said TO
have CHANGED their ideas.
St. Petersburg Correspondent of the
London Chronicle Says They Have
Had Several Conferences Lately
and Have Come to the Confusion
Now Is Good Time to Quit War.

London, Feb. 8.-Highest authority
is claimed by the st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the London Daily Chron-
cile for the statement that the grand
ducal party had suddenly decided that
Russia must sue for peace. The cor
respondent states that the grand dukes
and their supporters have held frequent
conferences of late, at which they dis
cussed the far eastern war and came to
the conclusion that they could not
afford to continue the war under the
present conditions.
The immediate cause for this change
of mind on the part of the very men
who have right along stood in way of
peace is said to have been the recent
disaster to the Russian arms on the
Hun river. Coupled with the news of
this defeat, has come to the grand
dukes the realization that they can not
compete with japanese ability to throw
army upon army into Manchuria, and
especially in view of the internal sit
uation, which makes further mobiliza-
ton of reservist troops almost imposs-
ible.
The correspondent states that accord
ingly the Russian embassy at Paris has
been asked to gain the good will OF
Great Britain with view of mitigat-
ing the terms which Japan is likely to
impose.
