ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 9O.-Attorney Cen
eral Julius Mayor in the name Of the peo-
pie Of the state OF New York today began
an action against the American Ice com
peny in the supreme court Of New York
county for the dissolution OF the so-called
Ice trust"
The complaint alleges as a principal fea-
ture Of the scheme and arrangement" by
which the company .saarlrad praeticaI

output and distribution, especially IN
Greater New York and the communities in
that vicinity, that It secured control of the
Maine Ice held and caused reduction
there last year Of the usual harvest from
L5oOOO0 tons to one-third OF that amount.
The sources OF supply are alleged to be
similarly controlled.
The key to the ice situation in New York
City is pointed out as lying in his COM
pany's control OF tho ice bridges" +" or land
depots. by which means it is alleged the
company Is enabled to hI the price of ice,
resulting last summer IN an increase from
81. % ton at the bridges to $ and Sc a ton
/ to the independent dealers who are alleged
. to be controlled by the company,
It is said that by the time the ice reaches
/ the poorer customers II costs at the rae
OF from so TO sl4 a ton.
I Correspondence of the company with its
agents and others is quoted to show that
at the very time when the company was
urging its customers TO be careful in theiI
purchases and consumption OF ice, owing tr
the shortage Of supply il was informing its
agents that the ice situation from the com
pany's standpoint was satisfactory and thai
offers were being received from variou.

producers. Of ample supplies. ana the com
pany was at that time refusing to accep
these offers on any terms. II is contsndet
that the efforts OF the company were de
signed to create popular impression tha
an ice famine was impending in order L,

nous increase in the price 70 consumers.
It is declared by the attorney genera
that on the Hudson river The American Ic
company owns all but -eventeen OF tn
ice houses and that it contracted with til
Mountain ice company operating in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. to restrict il
sales in Brooklyn, whereby the free pur
suit OF the ice business In that borough
was prevented; that it had like agreement
with various independent concerns alon
the Hudson river and elsewhere to proven

or manufactured ice.
The methods alleged to have been pur

Incidents of the Disaster.

Survivors who reached Beale, Van couver Island, Jan. 23 said the ship, when she first struck the rocks, did not remain fast, but that Captain Johnson backed off and the boat immediately began to fill and sink. He then ran again directly upon the rocks to keep her from going down.
 As fast as boats were lowered they were smashed against the sides of the vessel by the force of the waves, and women and children were thrown into the raging sea. In the boat that sue ceeded in reaching shore was woman practically insane from the effects of her experience. Her husband attempted to hand her her chill from the deck, but the tossing of the boat caused it to slip sprang into the water and both disap- peared.
 Captain Johnson was clinging to the rigging when the last life raft left. He refused to leave the passengers. When the raft east loose the captain cried; "My God send relief to my passen- gers"

Valuable Chemical Discovery.

A liquid chemical compound named "zorene," discovered by a Hungarian chemist, is said to possess very remark able properties. A piece of friable slag, after immersion in it, defed the blow of a heavy hammer. The same effect was produced on brick. Immersing sub stances in the compound seems to rem der them impervious to water, as shown by tests, in which no additional weight was observed after long soaking in wa ter. Two pieces of steel, one of which had been soaked in the liquid, were submitted to an ammonia test equal to an exposure of five years in the air The soaked specimen showed no effects from the ammonia, while the other was badly corroded. If these statements prove true the discovery should have considerable commercial value.-Mining World.

Inquiry Begun.

Seattle, Jan. 30.-An inquiry is begun in the case of the Valencia before the marine inspectors. Second Officer Pe- terson testifies that the vessel was kept in shoal water during the storm. It was the first mistake of Captain John son. Life belts are shown to contain reeds instead of cork, and are worse than none for the purpose for which they are expected to serve.
 Washington, Feb. 3.-.The cabinet to- day discussed the Valencia horror with the president. Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor, un- der whose province it comes to see to the investigation, declared the inquiry would be very. thorough; that when it is concluded there will be no room for a cry of whitewash. District Attorney Frye, conducting the inquiry now on, has been ordered to retake certain testi- mony which is said to have concealed certain matters for the protection of local marine inspectors.
 The president is much wrought up over developments in the inquiry. He has received telegram from the Seattle chamber of commerce asking him to ap point special commission to inquire into the conditions attending the disas- ter. The president has announced that the same board that inquired into the Slocum disaster will investigate certain alleged violations of marine regulations.

Further Particulars Of the Valencia Disaster

As near as can be made out the Va lencia disaster occurred Jan. p. Printed accounts say the vessel struck the rocks Monday at midnight, and it is believed it was the 22d. It seems that telegrams to interior papers bear no date, and when subject matter furnishes no key to the time of happenings of in- terest newspapers are kept guessing. The only list of the saved and lost so far received here is in a dateless dispatch from Port Angeles, Wash, printed in the Fairbanks Sunday Times of Feb. 4. This dispatch says "a lifeboat with nine persons reached Cape Flattery. A life raft containing eighteen persons was picked up at sea Tuesday at midnight"
 SAVED. Among the saved are the following, who were on the first boat to reach Vancouver Island:
 T. H. Mccarthy, boatswain; Charles Brown, Thomas Shields, John Montes, w. Joslin, and nine unknown passengers. Those picked up from the life raft and saved are
