THE RIVER still continues frozen, and
since yesterday, when the Norfolk
steamer came here from Washington
and returned to that city, no boat has
attempted to force a way through the
ice except the transfer tug Beaverton,
which makes trips between this city
and Shepherds.
The Representatives of the tug fleet
of the Potomac, Captains Taylor, Rob-
ertson, Milstead and Gunnell, Of the
tugs Minerva, Harlow, Templar and
Keys, had a conference with the Dis
trict commissioners in Washington yes
terday and proposed to use their tugs
as ice plows to clear the ice from Wash
ington harbor and make passage to
clear water. 1t was suggested that chan
mel be opened one hundred feet wide
from the the Aqueduct bridge to below
Fort Washington. The captains were
asked to name sum for the use of the
tug fleet for this week, and they will
make proposal to the commissioners
to-day.
Capt. Taylor informed the commits
sioDers that the river was frozen solidly
as far down as Matthias Point. TIE
gorge reported at Fort Washington
was not near so dangerous as stated.
1t was nothing but a large floating
mass of ice in the channel. But the
river being over 100 feet deep at that
point there was no danger to be appre-
hended.
Harbormaster Sutton is still in Bal.

nounced
OF course everybody who heard II Immediately
jumped to the conclusion that the nobeman was
the Duke OF Marlborough who has recently been
visiting Mrs. Alva s. Vanderbilt and her daughter
at Marble House. Newport. Rumor has had II
ever since :he Dukes arrival In this country that
he was engaged to Miss Consue,o Vanderbilt. and

few weeks ago But no such announcement was
made.
Newport dispatch printed in The Tribune yes
terday morning quoted Mrs. Vanderbilt as denying
positively that her daughter was engaged to the
Duke OF Marlborough.
In spite of the denials of the story. a good many
people believe IT to be a fact that the Duke and
Miss Vanderbilt; engaged. Scme persons about
the Waldorf where the young man was guest
yesterday, took 1t for granted last night that 1t
was true from things that had been said about the
hotel. 1t was even said that the Duke himself had
admitted the engagement during the evening.
a Tribune reporter who went TO the hotel last
night to the Duke and Creighton Webb who. 1t
was reported. prepared 10 make an authorized
announcement, unable TO either OF them.
1t was said that they were both out, and neither
had returned up to late hour.
The Duke. 1t said at the Waldorf last night,
leaves the city for Niagara Falls this morning.
The Duke of Marlborough IL about twenty-four
years old and succeeded his father few years

CALIFORNIA FRUIT IN LONDON.

NO PROFITS YET But THE AGENTS ARE DETER
MINED TO CHANGE ENGLISH METHODS.
London Sept 20-The quality Of the California
fruit brought by the steamer New-York did
not differ from that of the consignment OF last
week The bulk of the shipment was Of pears, OF
which there were $500 boxes The prices realized
were about the same as the prices ruling in New
York This was due to the unjust complaints made
by the tobbers against the keeping Qualities OF the
fruit they demanding that the American fruit
shall keep severa, days. while at the time,
they sell English and French fruit the day they
receive 1t. The California fruit agents here as
sert that this Is unfair
The entire shipments OF fruit thus far have failed
pay but the agents determined to make
changes in the English methods. that the fruit
shall be retailed soon as IT arrives. Peaches
and plums In small lots brought good prices.
The sample parcels OF grapes comprised In the
consignment were a failure, not being OF as good
usually eaten here.
