A RIVER FULL OF ICE.
The Situation at Parker and Other Points
Along the Allegheny Is serious-A Great
Ice Gorge That Has Little Sign of Break
ing-An Appeal to Pittsburg

Along the Allegheny Is serious-A Great
Ice Gorge That Has Little Sign of Break
ing-An Appeal to Pittsburg.
Reports from Parker, Pa, state that the
white field of snow and ice remains ap-
parently dormant in its Allegheny bed. The
backwater is insufficient to raise the
cemented ice. AT Emlenton the river is
clear and ice flowing, and at Fo1burg the
river is also clear. The gorge extends a
short distance above the island opposite the
Clarion river. and from that point to East
Brady there is but little open space.
The river became gorged Saturday last
and remained so until Monday forenoon,
when the heavy rains raised the ice and
conveyed it below. Instead of its coming
down to the Ohio it piled up at Upper Hill
vile and the wall Of frozen aqua in that
vicinity is over 20 feet high. The river has
been gorged in that neighborhood for weeks
and the broken ice that has accumulated
has wedged itself into solid whole. Tues
day morning the river was again gorged for
miles below and extending about one mile
above Parker. Several times the back
water pressed further down the stream,
each time jamming the mass tighter and
tighter until the backwater was unable to
raise il. The ice has not moved since Tues
day afternoon. The severe cold winds of
Tuesday and freezing night checked the in
lets.
The frozen river is level with the road in
some places. The cellars along River
avenue at Parker are partially filled with
water. The water works is .laboring under
difficulties to keep the town supplied with
water. There is Is feet of water and ice at
the river bridge. The safety of the town
depends entirely on the weather. Should
the heavy snow above go off with rain or
warm weather Parker and every town along
the river will be flooded. The damage thus
far has been very slight. Four feet more of
water will food River avenue and all over
that will endanger property.
The quietness of the river has brought to
the front several brave river men who know
all about it. The Clarion river, . wicked
stream when she gets on high. is very full
and frozen thick. kilograms were sent to
the Government engineer at Pittsburg in
hope, of receiving help in dislodging the
gorges, but the answer was discouraging.

sAL.sRuRY,s REPLY
rhe Sole Topic of Discassion at Tuesdays
Cabinet Meeting.

Cabinet Meeting.
WAsHINGToN, March 23.-Lord Sails
burys reply TO Acting Secretary of
State Wharton's note of March 8, was
laid before the cabinet at its session
Tuesday, and was the sole topic of dis
cussion. The cabinet met with unusual
promptitude
Every member with the exception of
Secretary Blaine, was present. The dis
cussion throughout was earnest, evil
dencing the importance of the matter
under consideration. and was partici-
pated in by every member present. the
presidsnt assuming leading part. 1t
was after 1 O'Clock when the cabinet
adjourned.
Regarded as Significant.
Prior to the cabinet meeting, Acting
Secretary Wharton, accompanied by
Sir George Baden-Powell, one of the
Canadian agents recently in session here,
called at the executive mansion, and was
accorded an interview with the presi-
dent. The presence here at this time of
Sir Baden-Powell, who was thought to
be in Canada, is regarded as highly sig
nifcant. The object of his visit could
not be ascertained, but it was no doubt
in connection with the Behring sea
question. Rumor has it that he was the
bearer of some official communication
from the Canadian premier on the sub
ject.
A rumor that finds many believers is
that Lord Salisbury has answered the
presidents note insisting on the necessi-
ty of modus vivendi with counter
proposition that in any modus vivendi
agreed upon the United States shall en-
gage to indemnify Canadian vessel own
-poachers-for losses incurred there
by, provided the arbitrators finally de-
eide that the United States has no right
to prevent pelagic sealing. The United
States has already rejected proposition
of this kind
The treasury department has delayed
the preparation of instructions to rev.
enue cutters, pending Behring sea nego-
tiations. Last year the Instructions
originally sent out had to be counter
manded by telegraph, as the situation
changed after they were delivered in
San Francisco. 1t was the determina-
ton of treasury officers to wait this
year, if possible, until the situation is
finally determined.

WASHINGTON, March 23.--Mr. Tsui
Kwo Gin, the Chinese minister, has
prepared letter to the secretary Of
state urging an early response to the
various communications that the Chi
nese government has sent to this govern
ment with reference to the restriction
of Chinese immigration. Owing to the
continued illness of MIR. Blaine, the lat
ter has not yet been sent, but there is
little doubt that it will be forwarded
to the state department within few
days.
interviewed.
The Star prints an interview with the
minister, in which he says:
"For several years, in fact, ever since
have been in this country, have been
endeavoring to secure better treatment
for my peop. . at the hands of the United
States. To this end l have forwarded
number of letters to the state depart
ment stating our position i'll the matter,
but as yet have received no satisfactory
answer.
IF the United States wishes to put
stop to Chinese immigration 1t should
be done by means of treaty with my
country. For the United States to agree
to treaty providing for the admission
of Chinese ard then to override it by an
act of congress is hardly acting in good
faith. One side has all to say, and the
other side is not considered at all.
by your constitution you encourage
immigration and insure fair treatment
all alike, and yet your treatment of thu
Chinese is inconsistent with the consti-
tuition and the principles laid down by
George Washington.
May Retaiiate.
"There is one question would like to
| ask" said the reporter. IF the United
States puts further restrictions on Chit
nese immigl alton, will China exclude
Americans from her territoryY
| The answer was o long time in coming,
and was a diplomatic one.

consider the situation, and withdraw

pect much of welcome at the Chinese
