Big Ice Bridge at Niagara Falls
Largest on Record. II extends from Goat
Island to cantilever Bridge.

NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. l1.-Special.
The ice bridge, which began to
form here on Tuesday, has gradually
extended, until 1t is now the largest
ever known, reaching from a poiut
even with Goat Island within the
sweep Of the Horseshoe Falls, nearly
as far down as the Michigan Central
Cantilever Bridge, a distance OF more
than mile. At first it was not
thick, but the Ice coming down over
the falls piled against the jam below,
until 1t became thoroughly welded
together, and continually strength
ened by the addition Of the floating
ice 1t is now probably twenty Eve
or thirty feet thick in many places,
and everywhere SO firm as to he per-
fectly safe for the thousands of people
constantly passing over 1t.
The ice mountains at the foot OF
the American Fall are constantly
rising with the accretiOns of the
frozen spray until they now reach
about half the hight of the fall.
Coasting and tobboganing down their
steep inclines is just now a favorite
sport
The extent and beauty of the ice
scenery about the falls has rarely
been equaled. gigantic icicles on the
face of the overhangIng cliffs pro.
ducing effects like the white marble
screens In gothic cathedrals, while
the trees and shrub bery on Goat and
Luna Islands. In the state reserva-
tion and Queen Victoria park are
covered with peculiar formation OF
frozen spray, known as ice foliage.
These assume the most fanciful and
grotesque forms, and reflect the rays
of the sun like sparkling jewels. As
Bayard Taylor remarked in enthusi-
asm of the winter scenery at Niagara.
ct is now Ia the climax OF its beauty. I"

The Senate on the Monroe Doctrine


The scope and true intent OF the
Monroe doctrine ~ now In a fair way
to be set forth with absolute pre-
cision. The Senate nmittee on
foreign affairs has mao it's report,
and the subject is now open for dis
cussion. There ia no occasion for
rushing the thing through. The
senate should take time enough to
act with intelligent elaboration. |
There are at least two Senators op-
posed to the resolution. Gray OF Della
ware, and Sewell. of New Jersey, enc
Of each party. The question is not
a party issue, and should not be con-
sidered as such.
The resolution contains two where
ases, setting forth briefly what the
Monroe message OF Dec. I'd, 1923, was
intended to effect, and what it has
aimed to secure since. 1t is brief
and we quote it entire:
RESOLVED, that the United States
OF America reatflrms and confirms the
doctrine and principles promulgated
by President Monroe in his message
of Dec. I'd, 1923, and declares that 1t
will assert and maintain that doc
trine and those principles, and will
regard any infringement thereof, and
particularly any attempt by any Eu-
ropean power to take or acquire any
new territory on the American con-
tinent or any islands adjacent there
to, for any right of sovereignty or
dominion In the same, In any case or
instance as to which the United
States shall deem such attempt dan
gerous to its peace or safety, by or
through force, purchase, cession, oc
cupation, pledge, colonization, pro-
tecto :ate, or by control of the ease.

mus whether on unfounded preten-
sion of right in cases of alleged bound

an unfriendly disposition towards the
United States, and as an interposi.
ton toward the United States, and
as an interrosition which it would
be impossible in any form for the
United States to regard with indif-
ference"
There is no new feature in this
definition OF the Monroe doctrine. 1t
goes no farther than the United
States has always gene 10 the main
tainance OF the doctrine, unless 1t
was during the short period that
John M. Clayton, Of Delaware, at
prototype Of Senator Gray, was Sec
rotary Of State, which was only
through the fragmentary Taylor ad-
ministration. The new feature Is
that doctrine once.so acceptable to

The London press talks as II the
Senators were trying to win favor
with the Irish. This Is altogether
too puerile. There were noIrish, hard
ly, in this country, when Monroe pro-
mulgated the doctrine, and it was as
popular then as it is now. AS well
say that Emperor William had the
Irish in mind, wien he sent that
cablegram to President Krueger.-
