IMPRISONED IN ICE FIELDS
Three Large Atlantic Liners Unable to
Reach Port.

Halifax, N. S., May 6.-Three large
transatlantic liners are believed to be
imprisoned in the vast ice fields that
completely block Cabot strait between
Newfoundland and Cape Breton and
other lines in the Montreal and St..
Lawrence service have been forced to
land passengers and freight in this
port after Intellectual attempts to
pierce the impenetrable barrier.
The Allan line steamer Sandman,
from London and Havre for Montreal,
which was forced into this port to land
her 600 passengers, reports that i'm
bedded in the ice fields are two large
steamers, the Allan liner Unitarian and
Dominion liner Vancouver. The Allan
line steamer Ionian is also believed
to be fast in the ice. The fields stretch
across Cabot strait for a distance of
little over fifty miles and to add to
the dangers of navigation a thick fog
hangs over the coast.

Not up to His Name.

George Peabody, the philanthropist,
and John Bright often went to Ireland
together to fish. One day they went a
couple of miles up the Shannon be-
tween Castleconnell and Killaloe.
They had engaged the services Of two
boatmen, and as Bright and Peabody
were keen anglers they made long
day Of it. On returning in the evening
Bright, noticing a policeman on the
river bank, asked what sum the boat
men were entitled to for their time.
The constable said anything from
seven and sixpence to 10 shillings.
Bright turned to his companion, say
ing: 81 have no change, Peabody.
Have you three half crowns?' The
millionaire produced the coins and
gave them to one of the boatmen, who
said, "And is that all we're givin' me ~
''rhat is all" replied Peabody. sWell,
that bates all liver heard,'' observed
the boatman, adding, ais he scratched
his head: Am they call We Paybody.
Faith, should call ye Paynobody!'-

were Mrs. Clifford Richardson of New
York and Mrs. Bacon, the wife of the
assistant secretary of state.
For time following the accident
there was considerable excitement
aboard the yacht, but the ladies were
assured there was no danger and the
vessel was backed to her dock, where
the party disembarked without further
adventure. Both yacht and tugboat
were more or less damaged. The i'm
preston is that the engineer misun-
derstood an order to reverse his en-
gines as one to go forward, resulting
in the collision. The racing launch of
the Sylph was badly damaged. The
fact that the yacht was not proceed
ing at rapid rate was regarded as
fortunate, as otherwise the damage
would have been considerable. :

PHONE SYSTEM PARALYZED
General Business at San Francisco Sc
riouSIv Affected,

San Francisco. May 5.-The outlook
in the labor situation here is not par
ticular1y bright and no chance for an
immediate settlement of any Of the
questions now involved is at present
apparent. The telephone strike has
crippled the service and the whole
system has practically come to a
standstill The operators are now Sc
curing support from all directions and
it is feared that the linemen will go
out on a sympathetic strike, which
will still further complicate the situa-
ton. In the case of the emergency
hospitals it has been found necessary
to dispatch mounted police to act as
messengers and general business has
been seriously affected.
The ironworkers are still firm in
their demands and the proposition for
a settlement by arbitation has now
been abandoned owing to the negative
position taken by the trades council.

The Turkish Mangal.

In most Of the houses in Constants
nople as we'll as in other cities Of Tur-
key heating in winter is done by means
Of the so called "mangal." This con-
sists principally Of receptacle for
burning charcoal. A mangal may be
nothing else than such a simple brass
or iron receptacle or may be quite an
artistic and expensive article of most
rare and valuable workmanship. The
charcoal Is first thoroughly burned
through, and when it no longer emits
any fame or odor the mangal is
brought into the room for purposes Of
heating. Sometimes it happens that
proper attention is not paid to the
burning charcoal, with not infrequent
fatal results.

Force Exerted by the Heart.

The force exerted by the heart equals
120 tons lifted one foot. In other
words, the work Of the heart Is equiv
alent to raising it's own weight 10000
feet In one hour. A strong man can
raise himself but 1000 feet In an hour.
This enormous force, If exerted by the
heart through fixed rigid pipe, would
shoot the blood along with each jerk
at a rate Of 200 feet second. How
ever, the arteries. being elastic, are
distended by the jerk or beat Of the
heart, and when the heart pauses after
the beat the contraction Of the arteries
sends the blood along in a steady nom
Intermittent flow, which averages
about one foot second.

FIVE THOUSAND men OUT.
Strike of Longshoremen at New York
Becomes Serious.

New York, May 6.-The strike of
longshoremen on the Manhattan and
Brooklyn water-fronts has assumed
serious proportions, about 5000 men
being out Thus far only two of the
transatlantic passenger lines, the
American and the Red Star, have been
seriously affected, but work has been
practically suspended on score or
more of the tramp steamers which
discharge their cargoes in Brooklyn.
Fears are entertained that big tie-up
of shipping may result.
Most Of the men who have gone on
strike are Italians. They demand
an increase from Is cents to 80 cents
an hour for day work and from Is
cents to IS cents for night work.

Geneva, May 6.-The overheating of
an axle compelling the removal of a
car from the train on which King Ed
ward was travelling to France is de-
clared by newspapers here to have
been probably an attempt to wreck
the train. Before entering the Simp-
Ion tunnel the train was stopped as a

was found that a grease box on one of
the axles was missing. The train
had been running at the rate of 100
kiiometers all hour and the axle was

few miles further the axles might
have fused and the cars would then
have been derailed. 1t is said that the
bolts and pins securing the box had
been deliberately removed. An in
