CHICAGO, Feb. 5-The ice is gorged at
the mouth of the river but as the current
is very slow no danger from flood Is an
ticipated. The chief source of anxiety is
the crib in tho lake at the source of the
city's water supply. Four men are there
kept busy removing ice from the inlets of
the ports to the water tunnel and need
more help for if the inlets become clogged
the city water supply would be cut off.
Men have provisions for only few days
and it IS impossible to get to them with a

to the crib on foot is extremely hazardous.

COmiug by Train Loads.

The Bloomington, ILL.,, Pentagraph
gives an extensive report of meeting OF
proposed emigrants to Dakota at that
place, held last Saturday afternoon, to
make arrangements and obtain rates from
railroad companies. The Chicago and
Northwestern gave them rate of S63
per car for freight and $500 passenger
rates to all points in the radius Of. Rock
Rapids, Sioux Fails and Salem, and to
all points reached by the Chicago and
Northwestern s6s per car for freight and
GIG passenger rate. In addition to these
rates is one free pass for each car Of
freight. They will come in special
train to which coaches will be attached
for the conveyance of the families, and
will start about March 1st. The paper
states that the destination of these emf.
grants is mostly to points reached by the
c. s. n. W. and Its branches. while some
half dozen or more will go to points on
the Northern Pacific, but the majority OF
the whole to points on the great James
River Valley.

the company named itself in honor Of
this paper, and giving ourselves the bene-
fit of the doubt We will send the boys .

SAN Francisco, Feb. Son Wednes-
day afternoon when first news of the
wreck of the Tacoma was received here
requiring assistance of the life boat to
rescue men then on the wreck crew of
eight men volunteered and proceeded that
night after dark to life saving station at
Cape Gregory, distant from here about
nine miles, where they arrived at about
eleven O'Clock that night, informed the
keeper of the station of the wreck and
that they had come as volunteer crew
and that the steam tug escort would be
off station at daylight to take them to the
wreck. They, under direction of keeper,
proceeded to put boat in condition for the
trip and launched her and with the keep
er in charge went about two miles for
practice of crew in pulling boat, then
pulled back to station, when a short
time after the tug arrived off station, the
keeper refused to go or allow the men to
take the boat. Three of the men then
got small boat from the light house
keeper and went off to the tug and in
formed the captain that the keeper would
not go nor let the boat. His only
excuse for such conduct was that he
would not go without an experienced
crew. Captain Hill, of the tug Fearless,
who returned from the wreck to-day
thinks that if the life boat and gun for
throwing lines had been at the place of
the disaster all those lost on the Tacoma
would have been saved.

Snow In Wyoming.

CHEYENNE, Feb. 2-The heaviest snow
storm in the history of this territory fell
during the past four days. 1t is three
feet deep IN the city and from twelve to
thirty inches deep on cattle ranges all
over the territory. There being no wind
the entire surface of the ground is cover
ed and cattle suffering for grass, and un-
less wind comes within three days and
blows the snow off of exposed places the
losses will be disastrous. Cattle men are
hopeful of wind. The temperature is
80 degrees below zero and no wind. All
trans on the Union Pacific railroad have
been blockaded for the past 4s hours on
the Rocky mountains and passengers are
furnished with fare. When the wind
comes drifts are expected to blockade the
trains on the road in places for 400 miles

The Pacific Railroad Suit.

New YORK. Feb. 3-Attention of the
counsel of the Union Pacific having been
called to a Washington dispatch stating
that the secretary of the interior had re-
commended the attorney general to bring
suit against that company to recover
81 500, 900 under the Thurman act, Sidney
Bartlett and Judge Dillon authorized the
following statement: The government
claims no such amount and the proposed
suit is an amicable one to settle. The
questions in controversy between the
Union Pacific and United States relates to
the manner in which "net earnings" un-
der the Thurman act shall be asccrtained.
The company under advice of the counsel
and under their construction of the de
cisiOn of the supreme court claim to have
the cost of the construction and equip.
ment of the main line deducted from the
gross earnings IN order to ascertain the
net earnings. The commissioner of rail-
roads does not concede this claim and
both parties desire a judicial decision,
and an anicable suit to that end desired
by the company is about to be brought
The government under its construction
clam there is due to it S90l,s ,s37. The
company claim there is due only 1906, ATT.
The company has not paid this because
it has counter claim against the United
States for postal service of over one and
half million. The company has brought
suit for postal compensation and the
supreme court recently decided in favor
of the company, and against the principle
claimed by NJ. SENEGAL and the amount
due the company is awaiting judicial de-
termination. The company's claim
against the government for postal service
is much greater than any claim against 1t
under the Thurman act. Company's pur-
pose being when both disputes are ad-
justed to set of one against the other
Officers of the government have made no
complaint of the course pursued by the
company, but have favored judicial
settlement of the questions at issue.

A Yacht Ashore.

EAsTPoRT, Aug. 20.
The steam yacht Ideal with the owner, T.
J. Haveneysr, and the New York yacht club
from Bar Harbor for Campobello, ran ashore
on Little Rock near Lubec, Sunday after
noon in a thick fog. All were saved. The
yacht is now in a dangerous position. No in
surance.
LATER.-Today the owner of the steam
yacht Ideal has telegraphed to Calais for a
tug and to Castine for the Cutter Woodbury.,
and will try to float her on the next high
tide at midnight. Little Rock is spot
some distance from Quoddy Head, where
there is a lighthouse and fog whistle. In
coming from Bar Harbor the yacht made the
back side of Grand Menan, and then steered
for the whistle. The Fog was very thick
and the rock only short distance out of
water. At three O'Clock they heard the
West Quoddy whistle and slowed down, but
but before they could stop she was ashore. 1t
was dead calm. There was no difficulty in
landing in boats. There were three ladies on
board. She has two holes in her bow, and
the stern has dropped down with the tide.
which flows over and fills her at every flood.
She will go to pieces if not gotten off before
a southeaster. The Woodbury. is expected
tonight.
