of his company to support the contention
that it was not engaged in interstate COM

George F. Mead, of Boston, president of

were part of the machinery of interstate

TO REGAIN HIS HEALTH.
Consul General Miller on Leave From
His Post at NiuchWang.

United States Consul General Miller of
Niuchwang has arrived in Washington on
leave of absence from his post. Few Amer
lean consular officers have had experiences
as exciting and interesting within the last
few years as have fallen to the lot of Mr.
Miller. He was originally at Shanghai, but
went over to Niuchwang some time before
the outbreak of hostilties in the east, but
at moment when the lines We're strongly
drawn between the Russians on the one
side and the British and the Americans on
the other, and he earned the strong ap-
proval of his superior officers here by the
display of tact and energy exhibited by
him during the nasty little collision be-
tween the Russian military forces at Niu-
chwang and the crew of the United States
gunboat Newport, then buried in the ice
dock in the river. So skillfully did he ham
die the situation, however, that while Sc
curing proper treatment for the Newport
men and full recognition from the Russian
authorities of the rights of Americans to
be in N1uchwang during those critical DAYS.
Mr.. Miller naged to gain the esteem and
confidence of the Russian officials them
selves, and, indeed. it was to him they
turned for help when they were Obliged to
eyacuate Niuchwang before the Japanese
advanced.s
Mr.. Miller's health has suffered from his
arduous labors in the very trying climate
OF Manchuria and he is in this country to
recuperate.

AFFECTED THE SHIPPING.
Lightship Imprisoned in Ice Off Nan
tucket Shoals.

NEWPORT, r. l., February 6.-The Nan
tucket Shoals lightship, which became i'm
prisoned in the ice off Mishaum Point, Buzz
yards Bay, late last night, is in dangerous
position. A wireless message was received
at the torpedo station here today from the
lightship asking that help be sent her. The
gunboat Hist and the lightship Azalea were
Immediately ordered to go to the assist
ance of the imprisoned vessel At the tor
pedo station it is understood that the dan
ger to the lightship is mainly due to the
direction of the wind, which is driving in
shore.
The ice embargo here was partially bro
ken today by the steamer Conanicut, which
forced a passage to her wharf after a two
hours struggle. The channel opened by
the steamer enabled the launches belong
ing TO the torpedo station and a number
of other boats to move about the harbor.
Shipping however, Is still tied up, but the
ice appears TO be breaking up. 1t was dam
gerous for large vessels to move today
on account of a binding snow storm.

6.-The Nantucket shoals lightship which
was caught in the ice in Buzzards bay last
night was driven aground about an eighth
of mile inside of Dumping light, on the
west shore of the bay, just before noon to-
day. Crowded by the huge ice foes, the
force of which overcame the full power of
the ships engines and her anchors, she
soon began to list, and as the tide went out
she was tipped TO an angle OF slXty-hve de-
grees. The water began running in through
her air ports, but the pumps were able to
keep her clear. Engineer 1. n. Corey, who
came ashore over the ice, reported that the
ship was resting easily and that her crew
was in no danger.
The lightship left New Bedford yesterday
after having completed repairs. Later she
was caught in the ice, from which her en-
gines were powerless to extricate her. To-
day a wireless message was sent to New
q a
anchors were let go and the engines were
run at full speed ahead The overpowering
strength of the ice fields, however, could
not be overcome and the lightship was
forced aground.
Engineer Corey, who came ashore to COM
municate with the government authorities,
and to ask that powerful wrecking tug be
sent to the aid of the lightship said that
the vessels position is easy. He said the
captain and crew of sixteen would remain
on board for the present.

Firm Ice OF Nantucket.
WOODS HOLE, Mass. February 6-The

day, accompanied by snow and sleet
brought little prospect of relief to the ice
surrounded islands of Nantucket and
Marthas Vineyard. Although the tenn
