ANNEXATION IN THE FAR NORTH

Consul Frank Deedmeyer, writing from Charlottetovn, reports the win ter in the far north Of unusual se- verity He writes the state depart ment that reports received by wire- less from various points In northern Newfoundland, Antic0sti, and the Mag
 dalen islands indicate that the gulf is frozen over almost solid. the ice far out from the shores being two and three feet thick. The strait of Belle Isle is packed with heavy ice and no water is in sight there. The board Ice. surroundiAg Prince Edward
 island, reaches beyond view. Experi- enced navisators judge ios conditions largely by the quantity and character of the foes entering and passing through the strait of Northumbsrland
 Applying this test now it would appear that very thick ice has been making in the regions far te the north. F1oes thirty feet in thickness, packed solidly, have been met frequently this season by the iee.brsaksr steamers which have attempted to keep open the communication between Prince Edward island and the mainland. Con- ditions in April and May this year will depend largely on prevailing winds after the middle of the month of March. If the winds after that period arc generally from the south west the ice disappears very rapidly. If, however, ths prevailing winds in the early spring are from the east and northeast the massive noes drift ing down from Labrador and through the strait of Belle Isle are carried by the high tides of that season against harbor entrances, keeping them ice-
 locked until well into the month of May. Under such conditions the open gulf Is often unsafe for sailing vessels in the early mart 0f IunA O

COAL INTO THE SEA.

Cordova, Alaska, May 5-The ex-
element caused by the govern

lIaska coal land cases reached a
climax yesterday when $500 bust
ness men and citizens formed anob
and, armed with shovels marched
to the ocean dock of the Alaska
Steamship Company where thew
proceeded to throw several tons Of
British Columbia coal into the bay.
Incensed at the thought OF no

Taft. to urge early action looking
to the opening of the Alaska coal
fields the citizens of Cordova de-
cided te follow the example set by
the Boston tea party and thus ex-
press the serious crisis that has been
reachedin the Alaska coal situation.
For several days the sentiment
in favor of some public outburst
has been quietly growing. When

arrangement this afternoon of }. j.
Mcnamara the indianapolis union
,fficial and his brother, } B. McNa-
nara, each on nineteen indictments
charging murder i'll connection with
Tie Los Angeles Times disaster, was
l dramatic affair. The business OF
the day concluded with a fierce ex-
change on part of District Attor-
ney John G. Frederick and the
attorney for the prisoners over the
matter of bail.
Promptly the counsel for the
defence wanted to know whether
the court would fix bail in the
charge against J. j. Mcnamara of
dynamiting the iron works. Judge
i}oedwell referred the matter TO
he District Attorney but after eX-
tended remarks on ebe subject, Mr..
Frederick said he would wait until
Tuesday to say what a reasonable
pail would be.
Then the attorney for the prison
ers had the prosecution guessing
another time apparently when he
asked what was going to lie d me
bout the orieional indictment on
which the McNamaraS were arrest
ed. Let them be arranged on those
indictments, he said, or squash
them. The district attorney re-
piled tnat those indictments charg-
10 mar,icr on each of the brothers
vas attende,: with more nervous
less on the part of the district
attorneys staff that was shown by
NcNamaras. When the elder
Mcnamara took his seat beside his
brother he smiled to him many
ines and Was evidently in the best
# bunlnr. Tie court room was
illed with people, when the broth.

was no demonstration beyond thu
