Prospects For
the Ice Crops.

Boston, Mass. Jan. 19.-The next three
weeks will probably settle the ice crop
in New England for 1903. Ice dealers to
the north of the city are fairly confident
of reaping an ordinary supply, but to the
south the conditions at the present time
are far from being satisfactory.
Last year at this time the ice houses
were full and the companies were laying
In an extra supply. A considerable guam
tIty of this surplus is still on hand and
an attempt Will be made 10 carry 1t
along, notably some 10000 tons on the
Penobscot belonging to the American Ice
Co. There is also considerable of last
years ice In other parts Of New Eng
land but the small dealers are nearly
cleaned out and are becoming somewhat
anxious about the crop.
The average thickness of the ice north
OF the Massachusetts line and 20 miles
inland is about 10 inches. In some sec
tons it runs up to y or 10 inches and a
little has been harvested. In the Berk-
shire hills and the Green mountains
there it, of course. no danger of famine.
1t is along the coast from Portsmouth,
y. H., south. that the famine threatens,
especially in Plymouth, Bristol county
Cape Cod and Rhode Island.
Dealers in those sections say that If
the ponds and lakes do not show 10 inches
by Feb. 10 the crop will again be a fall
ure and that New Hampshire and Maine
will have to furnish the supply for the
summer.
In former years the ice companies
along the Penobscot harvested two or
three million tons and the work gave en-
ployment to thousands of men.
The capacity Of the houses of the
American Ice Co, on the Kennebec at the
present time is less than 100000 tons as
many of the plants have either been
burned or gone into decay.
The same is partly true OF those on the
PenobscOt and the increase in the arti-
fetal plants in New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington has served to
Curtail considerably the crop in Maine
\ failure Of the Hudson river crop may
however. revive Il demand for Maine ice
hut towns along both rivers arr not an
tiCirating a business of the magnitude Of
former years.

discovery of an Anarchistic plot in Rio
De Janeiro to destroy Rear Admiral
Evans battleship fleet. 1t was the first
intimation the admiral had had of sucn
IL plot
Il cannot believe it. 1t seems pre-
posterous," he said. 1t was about on
a par with the rumor having Its origin
in Paris Of an attempt to destroy tne
battleships Connecticut ana MIS-
souri," he declared.
He said that it would be strange IL
the Anarchists went as far as Brazil
bent on the destruction of the pacihc-
bound fleet when they probably could
carry out their plot with much greater
ease in this country. Thousands OF
visitors annually visit the American
battleships at Hampton Roads, New
York and other places and 1t would
not be 4 very difficult matter, ne tear
ed. for anyone having as an object the
blowing up of warship, to carry out
his intention.
No advices were received at the
navy department from Rear Admird.
Evans today and Admiral Plllspury
said that he would have notified this
government if he had been officially IN
formed of the existence Of a plot at
Rio Janeiro. Admiral Pillsbury did not
know anything relative to the rumor
THAT Admiral Evans was desirous OF
leaving Rio Janeiro earlier than the
scheduled time, because of rumors Oh
plots to destroy his fleet. The battle
ship fleet is due to leave Rio on Tue -
day and Admiral Pillsbury does not
believe that Admiral Evans will leave
there earlier than the appointed time.
