IN WEST WASHINGTON.
Traffic at u StandstiI in That Sec
ton.

Traffic In the western section of the city
is at a standstill. But few vehicles were to
be seen on the streets. Only limited num-
Der of wagons were out, and the poor
horses had hard enough time to make
through the snow drifts. The daily rounds
of the bakers wagon and of the milkman
were delayed several hours. and in some
cases neither the milkmen nor the bakers
showed up at the private residences. Some
of the merchants, by the means of sleighs.
managed to carry out their orders, receiye d
by telephone, but distribution by means of
the sleigh was anything but satisfactory.
The few pedes TRANS seen on the stree Is
were only those who were forced to be out.
The suburban office holders remained at
home. Only few people could be seen out
in the teeth of the storm.
Even the poor horses out suffered from
the effects of the blizzard No matter how
covered up and how blanketed the poor
beasts Were the snow would stick to the
exposed portions of the body with won
derful tenacity. Nearly all of the horses
had snow frozen on their heads, and the
more humane owners refused to let the
animals be driven in the weather. The
storm was bad enCCgh for both man and
beast. Even the homeless dogs kept their
shelter. and none could be seen wander
ing around
In the West End the isolation was COM
plete- There were no mails delivered until
late, the snow keeping back the trains
The car lines in the western section of the
city were unable to move the entire day.
Fears of Flood.
With the continued cold weather the
fears of flood in the Potomac is in
creased, despite the fact that an appropria-
ton has been made for the clearing OF the
harbor. As stated in The Star several days
ago, the river men anticipated flood at
that time when thaw came. if it should
happen to be a sudden thaw With the
continued cold weather ana the increased
snowfall the conditions are even more IA
vorabie for flood when the thaw com
mences The ice on the Potomac is calcu-
lated to be about eight inches thick this
morning. With the heavy snowfall the
thickness will be increased considerably,
and this makes matters worse. The in
creased fall of snow on the slopes of the
river between Georgetown and the Shenen-
doah region will only serve to increase the
water supply in the river when the thaw
commences.

CLEARING STREETS.
work of Removing the snow En-
tirciy Suspended.


The work of removing snow from the
streets crossings and cutters was entirely
suspended today by the orders Of the Dis
trict Commissioners, Mr. Warner Stutler
the SUI erintendent Of the street cleaning
department. having Informed them that It
would hot only be absolutely cruel TO work
also be a waste of time aud money in view
OF the gale blowing. IL the wind ahatss
ana the fan of snow ceases Mr. Stutler will
start the men TO work on the streets cross
lnSs ana Cutters tomorrow morning and
the men employed will be paid 81 * a day
There remains of the appropriation Of
Sloon made last week by Congress only
between four and five thousand dollars
and. in the opinion of Mr.. Stutler this
sum will not go very far toward accom-
plishing the work He thinks Il will take
at least S2DG1 TO remove the snow from
the streets, crossings and cutters With
the remaining amount of the sum OF $4,000
Mr.. Stutler viii go a far as possible in
clearing the crossings and cutters. as in
the event Of a thaw. especially should a
city would be. in his opinion. badly hooded
should the cutters remain blockaded as
they are at present.
The work of removing the snow from in
front of houses and vacant lots has also
been stopped for lack Of necessary funds
grants more money The stopping of this
work VIII throw out of employment some
thirty or forty members Of the District
regiment who were put at work as sub
foremen last week Should these men de-
sire To work as laborers they will be give n
Eth and streets at 7:SO O'Clock tomorrow
morning. 1t is more than probable that the
commissioners will ask Congress to give
lhen more money for such work.

NAVAL REORGANIZATION.
Cost Involved in the Pending Per.
soUuel Rfll

The entire cost of the recasting Of the
navy on new lines, as proposed in the pend
ing personnel bill, will be but 5000, $50.
This fact is set out in a communication to
the United States Senate from Secretary
Long In answer to a resolution of inquiry
introduced by Senator Jones of Arkansas
Merging the line and engineers, as Is pro-
posed in the bill, the cost of the combina-
ton would be 1855, 600, which is 5000, 900
more than the total of the present pay to
both branches. Other Increases are: Pay
corps, $5,I97: medical corps. 81, 427; chap
iains, SI4, 243; civil engineers, 1864; profess
sors of mathematics. $40, 1872; constructors.
Sl5,36S; warrant machinists, $12o,00O
The increase in the pay of the marine
corps is Sl,22S, S3S, which is accounted for
by the increase in the number of both Off
GERS and men. The new naval appropria-
tlon bill also carries an appropriation of
81. 1.505 for pay of 10000 additional en-
listed men.
