Admiral Canevaro's pamphlet It would require
the immediate expenditure OF at least a milliard
of francs-that Is to say. about S2OOOOO.OOO-
on the naval defences Of Italy in order TO ena5is

OF course the present rebellion in Albania
may precipitate the war between Italy and
Austria and bring 1t on at a date far earlier
than that indicated by Admiral Canevaro anu
planned at Vienna. for. as I have mentioned
above popular sentiment IN Italy IS so very
strongly in favor OF Albania that the government
already now finds 1t difficult to resist the pressurs
brought to bear upon it in favor OF armed inter-

Italian city there are pro-AIbanian committees

GREAT POWERS ARE ANXIOUS.

That is why the insurrection now raging in
Albania is a subject OF such grave concern to
the Sublime Porte and TO the other great powers
of Europe. The rebels led by the brightest
and ablest officers of that Third Army Corps
which the German Field Marshal Gotz declared
to be the flower of the Ottoman army, and
among those who are understood to be pulling
the threads and directing the movements of the
rising is IsmaI Kenlal Pacha who enjoys the
reputation at STEAMBOAT and In foreign capitals

markable Oriental statesman of the present

would mean the latter's disintegration and end.

NOW FOR ICE CUTTING
ON THE KENNEbEC.
Every Day Will Now Be Utilized and
Hundreds Of Men Will Be En-
p|oyed Harvesting the Crystal.

Gardiner, Me-, Feb. 2S.-(SpeciaD.-
The Eennebcc river now presents
something Of its old-time winter APP
pCaranoe as far as the ice fields are
operation today with average crews
of $50 men each. Manager l.. c. Bal
lard of the American Ice Co. states
that this sudden jump from no men at
all to a crew of approximately 1000
men here on the kennebec caused by
the failure Of the ice crop on the Hud-
son has made a great deal of difficulty
in getting crews together and equip
rlert in shape for the rush work de-
,nanded. but now he has plenty of or
binary Workmen on the ice, although
there is still chance for Grst-claSs
calk-snoa men.
When the word first came from
headquarters to fill all the ice houses
on the t<ennebec," it looked like diff
ticut task on account of the latene IS
of the season and the short time with
in which the work must necessarily be
done, compelling the getting together
time, but he now feels that he has the
proposition well in hand and if the ice
remains in the river during the month
OF March he has no doubt of the sue
cessful performance of the task.
If the plans of the company are car
rieG out as intended it will mean dur
ing the next month the cutting and
housing Of 100000 tons of ice on the
kennebec This work must be rushed
In order to take advantage of every
day in which ice can be cut, because
there is always the possibility of the
ice fields going out in March should Sc
we're and long continued rains come.
Frequently. however, there are years
in which there have been 81 cutting
davs in March. and that is the kind of
a March that Manager Ballard is look
ing for this year feeling confident
that with those conditions he will have
no difficulty in accomplishing the de
sired task 1t is likely that If there
seems to be a prospect of the ice fields
leaving before the end of the month
the present crews will be increased to
as many rs can possibly be handled
advantageously. Indications, however,
point to a favorable March, so much
stormy weather having occurred IN
Eebruarv that more settled weather
seems likely to follow.

Hon. Patrick Theriault of Grand Isle.
senator from Aroostoolk county, stat
ed Saturday afternoon that he was
confident that a county bridge bill
would be passed at the present ses-
sion Of the Legislature. The bill for
the county maintenance of bridges
known as the Theriault bill and ia
vorcd by Senators Theriault and Wy
man and Representative Rounds in
their minority report as members Of
the ways and bridges committee when
the Donigan bridge bill was submitted
to them will come up in the Senate
Friday and its passage is predicted
not only by its three champions on the
committee but by other members OF
the Legislature who are familiar with
the situation as well. There are others
in both branches, however, who say
with equal positiveness that no bridge
bill legislation will pass this session.
and argue that further general bridge
legislation is not at all necessary a.
any town or city having any unusual
burden in the way of bridge buldin"
has always had the remedy of an APP
peal to the Legislature for relief in the
way of special act.
The resolve in favor of the bridge
across the st. John river between the
towns of Van Buren, and st. Leonards
is now on its way to passage.
This resolve carries an appropria-
ton of s37,5Oo with the provision that
a like sum is to be appropriated by the
New Brunswick Legislature. This
bridge will fill long-felt want on the
part OF the residents along that por
ton of the st. John river and that
there is enough traffic to warrant 1t
was brought out clearly by State High
way Commissioner Paul d. Sargent at
the hearing upon the resolve in favor
OF this bridge when it came UP before
the ways and bridges committee.
