MENACE, TO NAVIGATION.
Increased Current I'm Chicago River
Causing Much Trouble.

CHICAGO, Feb. "a - The big freight
steamer Amazonas, of Duluth, lies jammed
across the Chicago river at the Pennsyl-
vania-railroad bridge. near Eighteenth
street, forming dam against which a
great field of foe ice pressed and under
which the stream rushed in a torrent. The
controlling works at Lockport had to he
shut down last evening, and traffic on two
railroads-the Pennsylvania and the Chi
oago & Alton-was temporarily blocked.
The delayed passenger and freight trains
finally were released by being switched
over the Chicago & Western Indiana and
the st. Charles airline tracks.
The accident to the Amazonas, which hap
pened at noon yesterday, was similar to
that which befell the Jesse Spalding ten
days ago. and 1t revived the apprehension
of the drainage trustees as to the menace
TO navigation caused by the increased cur
rent of the river. They declare that IL a
flow of 100000 cubic feet a minute is to be
maintained the current cannot be kept
down TO one and one-fouth miles an hour
unless the center-pier bridges are removed.
the tunnels lowered and the river widened
at several points. IL this work is not done,
two of the trustees declare, navigation will
be impaired seriously. IL not destroyed.
Several attempts by powerful tugs to re-
move the AmaZonas proved futile. IL is es-
hours to stop the current in the river. and
tug men declare no further attempt will be
made to release the steamer until the flow
has subsidized.
