have stopped rising bu. the water the flats is at
least three feet deeper than 1t yesterday. The
flats are covered and the farmers have sent their
stock to the hills The gorge still remains firm be-
low here.

ported falling slowly at Clearted but 1t IS raining
there again. Travel on the public road is inter-
rupted between here andJersey Shore. The canal
aqueduct at Linden has been opened in order to
permit the water to pass out.
PORT DEPOSIT, Md, Feb. 17.-There has been a
rise in the river here to-day. A part of the smooth
ice above the bridge at Hsvre de Grace broke up
and passed out, but not enough to give clear
channel to the mass above. The gorge at McCalPs
Ferry became so dense this evening that the water
backed up behind and submerged the tracks OF the
Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad. The river IS
reported rising tonight at most points north ana
some back ice is running down.

lBr TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSE.l


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The annual report of
Librarian Spoford has just been printed.
The Library of Congress now con-
tains as nearly as be ascertained,
64OO76 books and pamphlets, an increase of about
$1,000 last year More than 10000 volumes
of the books now necessarily
stored in heaps in various rooms connected
with the Library are placed in

One more volume will complete the series and il
will be flushed this year together with
an atlas of maps. Regarding the necessity
of additional and better accommodations
for the treasures of the Library Mr. Spohord SAYS:
The fact that the majority OF the collections thus
acquired como without cost 10 the Government
adds another to the numerous contingent reasons
50 long and SO repeatedly urged for their suitable
protection and arrangement. The daily increasing
obstacles to the proper administration of the Library
services have now reached "a point which actually
obstructs the prompt supply of books and informa-
ton 10 both Houses of Congress, To the courts
and departments. 10 the many scientific bureaus
of the Government and to the pubic,
who resort in increasing numbers TO the Capitol TO
make of the Iich repository OF authorities IN the
Library. To render these collections IN the highest
degree useful il is absolutely necessary that ade-
quate room should be provided IN building planned
and specially constructed for the purpose"
