MAKING STEADY PROGRESS
Another Session of the joint Hirl
Commission.

The Canadian joint high commission was
IN session at the Arlington this morning
for the usual length of time. There was
nothing Whatever in the proceedings to give
rise to the belief that any disagreement had
been reached which would involve the dis
solution of the conference at this point. On
the contrary, according to one of the Amer
lean commissioners, the commission is max
ing steady progress. The meeting today
was adjourned until tomorrow. Mean.
while, the United States commissioners will
come together this afternoon for one of
those councils which serve the purpose of
uniting the discordant elements in that rem
resentation, and result in the presentation
OF solid front on the other side.
Regarding the possible length of the
pending negotiations, one of the commits
sic ners said today that the work was nro-
ceeding without any reference to the early
adjournment of Congress
When asked If this attitude on thu mart
of the commission was not an indication of a
strong belief In an extra session of Com
gTess, the membsr referred to said that as
the final ratification of the treaty was q
matter of several months at least. the re-
gotiations would neither be nastened nor
retarded, regardless Of the probable sd-
5curnment Of Congress.

COMMERCE COMMITTEE ACTS.
Nicaragua Canal Added to the River

The Senate committee on commerce de-
cided today to put the Morgan Nicarauga
canal bill on the river and harbor bill
The action of the committee was preced-
ed by brief argument by Senator Morgan
in which he went over the general grounds
favorable to the construction of the canal
He controverted the opinion that the ad-
ditlon of the amendment would be ,letri-
mental to the interests of the river and
harbor bill, and expressed a preference for
the river and harbor bill over the suudry
civil appropriation bill as a vehicle to
carry the canal bill. There was no pro-
longed discussion among the members of
the committee, and there seemed little di-
vision of opinion as to the wisdom of at
tachllg the amendment to one of the ap-
preparation measures.
some of the members expressed the de-
sire that the amendment should go on tne
sundry civil but a motion to recommend
that 1t be incorporated in that measure was

pose to oppose the passage of the bill in

CLEAR AT HARPER'S FERRY
Four Inches q Snow and Some Rain Fell
Yesterday,
Both Rivers Are Open, but Sudden
Thaw Would Precipitate
Disastrous Flood.

Special From staff Correspondent.
HARPER'S FERRY. w. Va. February
1.-THE weather conditions this morning
are favorable to a gradual disappearance of
the snow and ice. People who have lived
here all their lives are not the least dis
turbed over the condition of the rivers, ard
no dangerously high water is anticipated.
a sudden change in the weather, however,
would change this condition of affairs.
-Four inches of snow fell yesterday after
fall of rain, but the weather cleared last
night
The ice on both the Potomac and Shenan-
doah rivers is about ten inches thick and
there is now some little floating ice in the
water, but there is not enough of this to
cause any uneasiness.
A sudden thaW and warm rain, residents
say, would cause the worst devastation
ever heard of in this section for there is
more snow in the mountains now than was
ever known before. Neither river is COW
cred with ice from shore to shore, and
there being more water in the river than
Is usual at this season, the floating ice is
being carried away without much trouble.
This may affect the river below here and
may eventually cause trouble People liv-
ing along the loWlandS are protecting their
stock and other property, fearing high wa
ter will trouble them during the next week.
Railroad men have been working nlSht
and day clearing the snow from the tracks,
and this morning three heavy engines made
a start to take one car up the Valley
branch. 1t is thought they will not get
much beyond CharIestown, on account of
the heavy snow drifts.
1t is impossible for country people to
travel, except over the railroad, between
here and Charlestown There is, a scarcity
of butter and eggs, but no complaint is
made of the scarcity of other provisions
Dealers have not advanced prices.

THE SENATE LIBRARY SITE BILL
1t is Proposed to obtain an Agree
ment From Mr.. Carnegie.

The bill pending before the Senate ap-
proprating s25000o for the purchase of
site for the proposed public library is
meeting obstacles to its passage. Mr..
Chandler, when the bill was called up yes
terday afternoon, objected to its considera-
ton because of features of the bill he did
not approve.
1t is believed that his objections can be
overcome, in part at least, and that when
the bill is again called up 1t will be accom-
panied by an amendment which will au-
thorize the Commissioners, before they take
any action looking to acquiring site un-
der the provisions of the BILL to secure
from Mr.. Carnegie an agreement to erect
library building upon 1t. Mr.. Chandler
is also disposed to object to appropriating
money for site until Congress knows
just what site will be selected, but he may
not insist upon this objection. The bill
VIII be called up in the near future by
Senator Mcmillan.
