WHENCE have they come? They are the broken

worked their way down from Greenland's icy noun
tans Most North Atlantic bergs slip into the sea
from the north part of Western Greenland and enter
Bafin Bay above Disko Island. When they put to
sea it may be for journey of twenty-five hundred
miles.
One ice field poured down by the mountains into
Disko Bay is one thousand feet thick and eighteen
thousand broad 1t flows forty-seven feet in day,
and therefore in year will throw off into the sea
the nconcevable quantity of three hundred thou
sand million cubic feet of ice And on the Danish
part of Greenland's west coast there are twenty
fords that give birth to bergs from an ice bound
country one hundred and twenty thousand square
miles in extent. Thus is not surprised to hear
of a towering ice island stranded in Melville Bay,
weighing two thousand million tons. Think of
anything that floats at all being aground in water
more than half mile deep! On its great fields and
precpitous slopes were many polar bears and thou
sands of seals which had taken passage to speak,
for Southern Labrador.
These bergs, in procession in lonely grandeur,
the sea S worst terror; and far human science
has devised no means of detecting them in fog and
darkness. The Newfoundland fishermen say they
are able to sme" bergs, thereby saving craft and
life alike. What they mean, of course is that the
bergs approach is marked by sudden cooling of the

Astounding Story of the Portia

Put l think the most astounding story is that of
~ the Portia, which sailed from New York for New
foundland with distinguished party of American
tourists eighteen all. Her master. Captain Ash,
seaman of courage, GOODNESS, and skill As
sealer he bore the highest reputation and when the
Government sent out the Greedy relief expedition,
Captain Ash was selected ice pilot of the Thets
And it was he who first found Greedy the shores
of Smith Sound, Cope Sabine, at the last "
tremity with cold and hunger. | mention these
things to show that the man S narrative may be
relied upon absolutely. He touched at St. Johns
land cargo, and then took the Portia north to Pey
Island for iron pyrites. The whole party of Amer
leans took the round trip.
1t a lovely day the steamer crossed Notre
Dame Bay, and all were deck en- joying the grand
scenery. Suddenly superb iceberg doomed ahead,
and the Portla rapidly approached the steely blue
length eight hundred feet and its height at over
two hundred. Its sheer sides gstened with strange
color; and its domes and towers and pinnacles as it
hoated in solitary majesty, made spectacle
to be forgotten.
Not flaw or tissure marred its lightly TANKS: all
seemed solid and stable when its parent glacier
"Calved" it, as men say in these northern seas.

man who will invent some continuance to give timely
warning of the proximity of this danger, which is the
most terrible known to navigation. No other agency
can overwhelm the modern steel built liner with her

United States photographic Office gives news of
them in its Bulletin In one week of April more
than hundred steamers touching at American ports

DENoUNCEs STANFORD WHITE
Again Accuses the MOther-Lived on
Her Daughters Ruin.

DelmaS, before beginning his attack
upon Evelyn Thaw's mother, poured
out a torrent of denunciatiOn upon the
architect who became the victim OF
Thaw's pistol. He accused him of the
"crime of rape,' and then declared
that President Roosevelt had said in
Il message to congress that such Il
crime should be visited with death.
This was one of the suggestions which
ThaW himself made TO his counsel for
his summing up speech-one of the
suggestions which played so important
Il part i'll the proceedings before the
lunacy commission. Delmas declared
that God heard the cry of the fated
child upon whom Stanford White mad
fixed his gaze and had determined
should be his. He quoted from scrip
ture that "He who atf1icts a fatherless
child shall perish and declared that
Providence had sent Thaw to avenge
The wrong.
The attorney declared that Thaw is
his wife's only prOtectOr-that he
came into her life when she was on
The downward path, told her that no
matter what the world thought Of her
she was to him an angel. He took her
to he his wife ready to share the bur-
dCnS that Il mother had helped to place
upon her daughter. Delmas accused
Mrs. Nesbit of having lived upon the
wages of her daughters ruin. He
sought to picture to the jury what he
termed the sinister surroundings in
which the girl had been reared, anG in
doing so he mercilessly attacked the
mother.
Delmas rose to the highest point Of
his address when he told the jury that
the girls mother was the one who had
supplied District Attorney Jerome with
the arrows with which to wound the
daughter on crOSS-examinatiOn = Il
cross minatiOn which he declared
would live long in the annals of Grim
inal history. but which left the girls
story mistaken in all its essential de-
tails. That Evelyn Nesbit's story was
true and was told to Harry Thaw
formed the subject of the argument
for more than an hour. DelmaS de
clared the only evidence the district
attorney had to bring against the cir

CUBAN LIBERALS BAFFLED
Taft Declines to Name Times for Two
Important Events.

Havana April 9.-The members OF
the committee of insurgents liberals
with whom Secretary Taft and Assist
ant Secretary of State Bacon made ar
rangementS for peace in Cuba in Sep
tember last had conference with the
secretary lasting from 10 O'Clock in the
morning until 80 in the afternoon.
Secretary Taft, in spite of the deman9
of the committee. refused to give his
visitors the date of the withdrawal Of
the United States forces from Cuba.
After this interview representatives
of all the leading banks of Cuba calle'i
upon the secretary.2 and asked him to
give them one or two years notice be-
fore the holding OF national elections
and urged him not to change the pres
ent currency to United States money,
holding that to do so would increase
the cost of living Il per cent.
Secretary Taft told the bankers he
understood they preferred permanent
United States control in Cuba, but that
this could not be as I'VE have obi
cations to the American people as we'll
as to the Cubans. and the matter must
be considered in it's political as we'll as
it's economical aspects
The Liberal committee held another
conference with the secretary at night.
The subjects discussed in the morning
were gone over second time. The
committee insists upon the holding of
provincial elections at the same time
as municipal elections, but this is OPP
posed by the Conservatives. as the
provincial councils elect part of the
senator's General LoynaZ del Castillo
called attention to the existence in
some quarters of a campaign for the
establishment of United States pro-

replied that he was aware of this
movement. but he assured his hearers
it. would not affect President. Roose-
yeIt'S views. who was determined to
, restore the Cuban republic as soon as
possible. He said he probably would
recommend to President Roosevelt the
