THE RIVER SITUATION
Remains Unchanged-SOme Boats
Which Were Caught In Unsafe
Positions in Break Up.

Remains NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Do"sS
which Were Caught In Unsafe
Positions in a Break Up.
The situation on the river remains
unchanged The gorge formed Is a
very heavy one, and it will take big
swell of water to move it out. Capt.
Stewart, of the Iron Age, passed
through this city yesterday on his way
to join the boat, which is tied up with
big tow at the foot of Paden's Island.
The harbor is considered safe one,
but the boat and feet is reported not
to be in the best of positions. The
Smoky City is laid up at Hutchinson's
landing with her tow in good shape.
At Bloch's, in the southern end OF
this eity, the Sam ERarnwpn end rthen i4hAan s
a fleet of seven empties and the Allies
has two barges, into which she is trans
ferrlng the cargo of the sunken coal
boat dropped there as result of the
Union bridge accident. The work will
be completed to-day.
Bloch's levee is not considered a safe
ice harbor 1t will be remembered that
the John C. Fisher, which was caught
there last February, suffered no little
damage when the gorge ran out. The
Brown is not in very good position.
The boat itself is lying with it's stern
out in the ice, but will be put in a
better condition to stand the breakup.
The Allies had up steam yesterday and
broke the ice good distance out in the
river around the two boats.
The marks on the wharf yesterday
showed s feet s inches and falling
slowly. Indications are for warmer
weather next week.

ANOTHER VISIT
To the Police Office of a Committee

Visits Of the clergymen to police
headquarters have become so frequent
that they no longer excite comment.
Yesterday the Rev. Messrs. Sooy,
Schwarm, Clark, Littell, Oliphant and
Hardness made call upon Chief Glenn
ans and asked for the warrants issued
several weeks ago against slot ma
chine owners. Upon examination they
asked why the warrants did not con-
tain the location of saloons. They
were referred to the City Clerk.
In the Clerks Office the ministers in
timated that they proposed to get after
the saloon keepers who have been fined
twice in order to revoke their licenses.
They regarded the fact that about fifty
have been fined twice for conducting
slot machines as very useful along this

expectations. and, what is more, they have
laid themselves open to serious criticism.
Local Conditions Ignored.
The chief difficulty seems to have been
that the strangers have not given the study
to the local surroundings of the design or
the requirements of the climate. and so
they have managed, for example, to put up
a house that was entirely too large for the
lot or else the design has suggested the
rigors of Il northern climate. In these and
in other respects most of the work which
has come from the ofces OF arch1tects
away from here has been marked by de-
fects which detract from otherwise merl-
toIious designs.
An Apartment House.
An apartment house is being erected at
the southwest corner of Goth and II streets
northwest by Miss Mary de w. Bremen
man. 1t will be a four-story structure
with a basement. and the front is to be
built of stone and red brick. The main en-
trance will be marked BY broad stone
porch. and there will be two octagon tow
cording to the plans prepared by the archi-
tect, c. L. Harding. there are to be four
flats of four five rooms each.
Some New Buildings.
Plans are being prepared for an apart
ment house which Edward F. Droop pro-
poses to build at 1876 18th street. 1t is to
be 5Ox1Oo feet, and four stories in height.
The front will be built of brick and stone.
Captain Theodore F. Jewell. United States

tect. 1t is to be three stories in height,
with cellar 25x50 feet. and front of red
brick and white stone and slated roof.

PROSECUTION OF NEELY.
1t is Thought His Case VIII BE Taken
to the Sunreme Court.


to the Supreme Court.
1t is understood here that the United
States attorney at New York will take
action within the next day or two, looking
to the prompt removal of Nicely, the alleged
embezzler Of Cuban postal funds. to Ha-
vana for trial. Judge Larcombe. before
whom the case will be brought, expects to
leave New York July 2. and 1t is his wish
that the matter be disposed Of before his
departure. Some days ago the government
sent to Havana for copies of papers wanted
In the case; also for a certified copy of
article 4o1 of the old Spanish Cuban laws
against the crime of embezzlement. These
papers have been received and forwarded
to United States Attorney Burnett, who
will prosecute the case. There are two in
dictments against Nicely one for violation
of article 4O1 Of the Spanish Cuban laws
and the other is under sections "3 to &. oe
the Cuban postal code. The former case is
said to be the stronger. and i: is probable
that he will be tried first under the first
indictment. 1t is the expectation of the
officials here that Neely's counsel will take
the case to the United Sta.es Supreme
Court

A women's Exposition.

THE women's exhibition at EarlS Court

mense crowds, and the exhibition srounus

bition with women was at nTst scou'eo'

Another Mining Boom.
We seem to be on the eve of another
mining boom. The South African market
is very puzzling. In trains and clubs in

discussing the merits Of "Rands,' Rhode

quent instances are quoted OF persons VINO
made thousands by judicious operations
raid, and there are hundreds of people eN-
pecting to reach the same desirable end
along the same apparently easy way. Al
though the boom has not actually started
vet 1t is the opinion of the big South Afri-
can houses that we are on the eve OF one OF
those eraS of feveriSh speculative activity,
which, as students of finance and economics
know, are constantly alternating with pc
RODS of stagnation and depression. There are
many companies in the Transvaal and Rho
desia that will yield large profits before long,
but the investing public should be careful
not to pick up rubbish, of which there will
be carloads when the boom is in full swing.
The Peel Heirlooms.
