The United States government in the
Philippines is in the midst OF a legal
fight with the Roman Catholic Church
for the possession Of San jose college in
Manila. with property worth half mil
lion dollars and older than Harvard or
Yale. Owing to the fame of the insti-
tuition and the zealousness with which
the Jssuits for years cared for the college,
much attention has been attracted to the
case in this country. Arguments have
been made before the Supreme Cont of
the Islands and decision is expected
soon. The case originated with the
death OF Governor Figarao Of Mindanao
10 the beginning of the seventeenth cen
lury. Il was provided in his will that a
college should be established in Ma
Mia for the boys OF the Philip
pine islands and placed under the ad-
ministration of the provincial of the
society of Jesuiis of Manila. The his
tory of the case is interesting, running
back as il does three centuries.

Albany, n. Y, March ga solid
jam of ice, extending from CastIeton to
Coeymqns, has caused the Hudson river
to rise feet above the mean low water
level, and flooded the docks in Albany

went out Yesterday for the second time
this year. The break up extended as
far south IS Coeymans, where he ice
held and caused that which came down
with the current TO form gorge which
soon filled the entire channel as far north
as Castlelon. The water in the river
unable to penetrate this closely packed
mass, found an outlet around through

ders of the federal army during the civil
war has passed away. General SchO6ed

On Tuesday last Miss Rosa Bell Jack
son, of Huntington, w. ", nineteen
years of age, died of tuberculosis, after
twenty months illness. Five physicians
had attended her, and they finally gave
up her case as hopeless. Two faith cur
lists then were called in. They spent
days at her bedside, praying and laying
on hands. Death ensued last Tuesday.
The faith curists continued their visits,
claiming that they could bring the girl
back to life. Their efforts were kept up
until Saturday, when residents in that
part of the city appealed to the authori-
ties and burial was ordered. The iu-
eral occurred yesterday, the girl having
been dead nearly six days.

Ice Crop n Failure

Fishkill Landing, n. Y, March g.
The ice crop of 1906 is big failure at
the present writing. That is, j; is away
below what it should be aud far below
that or 1905. In 1890, the crop was an
absolute failure and ice sold at $40 a
ton, wholesale. In 1895 it was largely
a failure, while 1900 only gave a moder-
ate crop. In 1908, the crop was only
about half what it should have been,
and this year it is even les than that.
A postal card canvass of the crop has
been made in five states aud the con-
sensus of opinion is that less thsn half
the crop had been housed on the 2Sth OF
February. Unless March gives a
thorough surprise in the way OF con-
tinued cold weather, the outlook is tor
such a scarcity of natural ice at many
points as the trade has scarcely seen.
