A DANGEROUS GORGE.

Serious Results Feared When the Ice in
 the Delaware Breaks Up.
 PORT JERvIs, N. Y., March 21-The ice gorge at different points along the Delaware still remains intact, and many residents along the river still fear danger. The people of Cochecton are excited over the situation at that place, and the river is ice bound from shore to shore most of its length. At this point Monday 1t was open above the village for two miles, but the storm on Monday froze it up in single night to such an extent that teams and residents on each side of the river have crossed on the ice ever since.
 A short distance below this village, and but few hundred feet below the bridge, there is a solid mass of ice acres in extent, and in places a dozen feet high. At the fooa of the bluff in Milford, Pa., and for nearly mile below, the channel was open before the storm, but is now closed by ice ten inches thick. At Brlnk's Rift, the head of the "up- per island," there is a gorge thirty feet high, and the main body of the water is diverted to the ''Rennyzill," ;" which surrounds the island on the Jersey side. That stream is also choked further down, and the water has formed channel across the lower part of the island. Considerable damage has already been done to the island by the washing away of the banks, and as there is no frost in the ground, much more will occur when the ice above crllshes through and clears the channel
 Old raftsmen and riverside residents say that when @ thaw does come it will cause a terrible flood. The snow in the woods and along the whole length of the river is five feet deep on the level and, the natural slope of the country is toward the river, the consequences may ba serious.

INDIGNANT MANlTOBANS.

They Start for Home, Intending to Act
 Independently of the Government.
 OTTAWA, Ont, March 21.-A sensation was created yesterday when it was learned that Premier Greenway and MT. Martin had packed up their traps, paid their hotel bills and left for home. The move was not antici- pated, and their minds had evidently not been made up to take this step until short time before the train left. They refused to discuss the situation, simply stating that they were displeased with unnecessary delays in conducting the negotiations. From the fact that the delegates departed so suddenly it is inferred that no progress was made. Mir. Greenway has given the Federal authorities to understand that he can and will build the Red River railway, and that any further attempt to block the work will be at the peril of the government and Canada. The situa- tion is full of danger, and if the impression that the negotiations have failed should have gained acceptance in Manitoba grave results may follow. Reports from that country prove that the people are in no mood to sub init to the continued exercise of federal tyranny.
