MARooNED oYsrERMEN.
Struggle Of the Iceboat Annapolis in
Successful Rescue.

A dispatch from Crisfeld. Md, last night
says: Penned in by ice among the swamps
of desolate South Islands. in the lower part
of Somerset county, on the eastern shore OF
Maryland, about ninety miles south OF Bal
timore, completely cut of from eommunl-
cation with the inland and with scarcely
food enough to supply them for TWO or
three days longer. such has been the pre-
dicament of thirty Somerset county oyster
dredgers for more than two weeks. and
some of them a longer time than that.
The men were caught in the swamps and
the ice which hemmed their boats In the
shore made all efforts to escape impossible.
The condition of the Deals Islanders, over
on the marsh, was reported on Thursday in
message which was sent to the oyster
navy and the harbor board of Baltimore
asking for assistance for the imperiled
party, but nothing was known about the
men who put out from Crisfield. except
that no word had been received from them
since their departure.
1t was decided to dispatch the iceboat
Annapolis to the scene of trouble. Edward
Wilson, colored. clerk in the custom ONCE
of Baltimore, went along as pilot, as he
was the only available person who could
be found that was in any way acquainted
with the shallow waters of the lower part
of the eastern shore, although he had not
been the master of a boat in these parts
for twelve years.
lie ABHl Will the ice III the Day
tributaries was the hardest that Captain
Griggs had experienced since his many
years on the water. and the rescue. which
was one of the most remarkable In history
on the Chesapeake bay, was accomplished
only after battling with the heavy ice for
one whole day and grounding off a shoal
for half night.
The rescue of the fifteen men from Girls
field, who had been caught in the snaD
was simply prOvidential, for had it not been
that the ice boat stuck on lump on FRI
day night which prevented her from get
ting through Hooper's straits to the Deals
islanders on the Tangier sound side of the
marsh. she would, in all likelihood, not
have passed within sight of the marooned
Cr1sfeiders. But, fate would have 1t,
the Annapolis had to pass twenty miles
outside of the course as previously planned
by going farther down the bay and enter
ing Tangier sound by way of Hedges straits
instead. and it was in passing down the bay
that the Crisfield men. who We're on the
strait" side of the waste, were discovered.

DIGGING IN CoCos ISLAND.
Minister Barrett Tells of the Lates
Undertaking.

In report to the State Department, Min
lister Barrett. at Panama, shows up what he
describes the utter falsity of the reports
the expedition to Cocos Island of the Earl
Eitzwilliam in his yacht Veronique. 1t was
reported that the vessel was carrying a sup
ply of arms and ammunition to be secretly
landed on the island for the use of the Jap
anese, and another rumor had it that the
expedition had been driven off after a fight
with the natives
including Admiral Palliser, r. N, retired,
leaving tLeir yacht at Panama, went to
Costa ca to obtain permission to dig for
burieS, treasure on COcoS Island. 1t was
found that the concession had been granted
fifteen years ago to Mr.. Gissler a Swiss
who with his family, lives on Cocos. The
earl entered into negotiation with the con-
cessionaire direct and obtained the neces-
sary grant to use dynamite at certain
point. Workmen were landed and a heavy
charge was set at the base of q high shelly
ing cliff. While the party was examining
the result of the explosion the upper portion
of the cliff, covered with great boulders and
loosened by the discharge, gave way and
Four were taken out seriously injured and
none escaped unhurt. The wounded were
conveyed through the water, breast high, to
boats and then to the ship, which at once
proceeded to Panama, arriving January 4,
when the wounded were taken to the Ancon
hospital.
Later the earl and many of his party left
at once for Southampton. 1t is said that
the expedition cost about 100000

Divorce Spreads in ENGLAND.

A cablegram from London says: In con-
nection with President Roosevelt's mes
sage to Congress on the subject of divorce,
1t IS noted that a resort for divorce
Great Britain has been steadily growing
since the legislation of 1858 removed such
proceedings from the contro! of the ecc;e-
siastical courts. Then the cases averaged
about POO year. but by continuous prosTc s..
sion have now reached about 800. The so
figures relate to the divorce court alone. In
recent years the power of decreeiLg judi
clal separation has been eXtende to courts
of summary. jurisdiction. with The result
that separations. which numbered SD in
1898 rose steadily to nearly > cOb in 1904.
The combined totals show now practic ally
the same proportion per hundred Of popula-
ton in Great Britain and the United States.
A curious point about the Increase Is that
the disruption of alliances has been more
rapid among nonconformists than among
members of the Established Church.

"Dick, Grant Out for Harvard.

Mr. Graham, trainer of the Harvard track
team, announced at the close of last week
that Dick Grant, the old Harvard mile
runner, would run on the two-mile relay
team against Yale at the Boston Athletic
Association games of next Saturday. Grant
will match off with Parsons of Yale and,
with string of good though inexperienced
men to pick from to fill the other three
places, Harvard has better chance of
winning this race than last year, when
the Crimson team was badly beaten. The
promising men for this team are A. S. Cobb,
'O7; S. Curtis, 'O5; c. Brinsmade. 'O7; z.
Becker, 'OS. and ]. S. Moynahan, '05. There
is some doubt to whether Loring Young,
O7, the fastest runner on the Harvard quar-
tet that established a new record for the
distance when they beat Pennsylvania at
the Boston Athletic Association games, will
be able to run. Young has been i'll with
a bad attack of the grip.
A part of the trials for the Pennsylvania
team were held last Friday. The trials for
both the teams will be completed today
No announcement of the result of the Fri
day trials will be made until all are COM
pleted.

WAITING ON THE SENATE.
Arrangement With San Domingo De-
ponds Upon Ratification.

The statement is made by authority that
no proceedings under the pending Domini-
can arrangements have been taken, nor will
they be taken until the arrangement itself
Is ratified by the United States Senate.
While it has not yet been reported to the
State Department that representatives of
the United States have taken charge of any
Dominican custom house except that at
Puerta Plata, where Mr.. ABBOTT has been adj
uinistering the customs for the past seven
months, it is said that even If such officials
were installed. as they may be at any mo-
ment, such action would have no connec-
ton whatever with the pending arrange
ment relative to the general administration
of Dominican finances by the United States
The fact is that the customs receipts at
Puerta Plata, owing in large part to a di-
version Of trade from that port to other
places. have been disappointingly small, and
the claimants under the Dominican arbitrs,-
ton award of last July have been urging
the State Department to extend the GUS
toms collections to the three other ports
named in the arbitration as subject to such
administration. that is. Sanchez. Monti
Cristi and SANTANA.

Base Ball Notes.

The suggestion Of new title TOT the
Washington Base Ball Club has created
great deal of talk around town, ana
wherever the fans" assemble in groups IL
ia the chief topic of conversation. Sugges-
lions by the score are coming into Presi-
dent Noyes by every mail. and by the time
the committee gets ready to go over the let
tiers they will number several thousand.
Out-of-town papers have taken up the SUBJ
ject but of course, the alleged funny men
have to get in their work with sarcastic
suggestions. the continued tail-end position
of the Washington club being dished up In
lurid sentences. There is-nobody in Wash
ington who Is proud of the past record of
the team, but next season will be the first
time in many years that the ownership has
been entirely in local hands. and the en-
deavors of the new capitalists should be
met in the right spirit and encouraged In
every way possible.
1t is expected that the advance forces Of
the Washington team will reach this city
by the list of March, and that big major
ity Of the players will be here to take in
the Inaugural ton. AS the New York Brook
Ign and Boston clubs have been given
orders to gather here about the same time,
the city on inauguration day will probably
hold a notable array of base ball talent.

GAR FORCED FROM REFORMS.
Grand DucaI Pressure Defeats Popular
Demands

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Telegraph sends information which
strikingly verifies predictions contained in
dispatches Friday that the car would be
forced by the grand ducal c5terie away
from his attitude in favor of reform.
The correspondent says that without
rhyme or reason another extraordinary
wolfe face has taken place in government
spheres which betokens an increase in the
grand ducal influence, marks fresh opposi-
ton to the popular demands and makes
confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
He reiterates the main points of his pre-
Nious story concerning the attitude of NJ.
Nitte. president of the council, and NJ.
Yermolof, minister of agriculture, in favor
of reforms, and says that after continuous
labor "A touching and impressive manifesto
was drawn up. which would have gone far
to win back to the autocracy the forfeited
sympathies Of the population.
1t was impressed on the nation that what
ever might be urged against the bureauc-
racy the car was the protector and father
of his people. 1t was announced that his
majesty had ordered a special court to in
Nestigate the events of January % and that
he deCreed that the shedderS of innocent
blood be punished. the victims suitably pro-
VIded for. and that the grievances of the
workers be bettered by legislation which
would take precedence of other reforms
The manifesto, which was admira bly,
worded. was about to be presented to his
majesty for signature. after which its pro-
mitigation would have followed Immediate
ly. when Court Minister Baron Fredericks
appeared and made statement TO the eff
feet that the reception by the emperor of
the deputation of workmen at Tsarskoe-
Seio and his gracious address to them would
secure all the desirable effects aimed at by
the manifesto. while eliminating its many
disadvantages.
The unpleasant and unproven necessity
would then be obviated of prolonging the
public excitement by an inquiry and OF

reasonably believed to be their duty AS
for relieving the sufferers the car would
himself give 5000 rubles for the purnose

COLD STOPS THE sAwM1LLs.
Hundreds Of Men Idle Until Thaw
ComeS@Truck Killed

A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says:
Great suffering and many accidents have
been caused by the ice and the cold
weather, both unusual here. The saw
mills in the suburbs have been compelled to
stop work because the ice covered the
ponds and the logs made the work of
handling them dangerous. The closing of
so many mills has determined the North
Carolina Lumber Association to propose an
advance in the price of lumber Meantime,
thousands of men who work in the mills
and the allied industries have been thrown
out of work when living expenses are
higher than at any other time during the
year.
Spinach, kale and cabbage on the truck
farms have been killed or frosted so that
the crops of the truck farmers will be late
or lost.
There is more ice in the harbor here than
has been known for many years. In many
coves where the water is still, ice has
formed all over the surface from bank to
bank. OF course. the channel is Open That
has not been frozen since 1857.
