committee has the advantage over the
democratic national committee in the
matter of ready resources of large

Three Peoria Railway Cars In the Way of
the Procession are Overturned, While
the Ferry Landing Is Damaged and a
Coal Dock Wrecked Strain on Piers OF
Crescent Bridge Where Georges Form.
The ice in the river began to break
up at 1920 this morning and moved
down stream to the Crescent bridge,
where a gorge formed below caused it
to stop. The ice went off of the rapids
yesterday. but that in front of the
city remained firm till today.
For three days the river has been
rising, coming up over two feet
during the last "a hours and register
ing $50 above low water mark early
this morning. The ice,, while over a
foot in thickness, was rendered ex-
tremely brittle by the warm weather
of the past few days, so, while the
breaking up was rather sudden, the
damage done was not as great as
might have been expected.
The Rock Island & Peoria road was
the heaviest loser. having three coal
cars standing near the depot over
turned and somewhat d@maged. One
of them was loaded with coal. The
ice pushed into the bank, which is
largely composed of ratings at this
point, heaving the track from which
coal cars are unloaded into barges.
and very nearly rolling an empty car
which was standing thereon into the
river.
Other Damage Done.
The ferry dock suffered as usual,
one end being raised to the level of
the street. and the whole affair left
in twisted and uccomfoDsable posi-
ton. The approaches were sc itter-
ed about promiscuously. The aprons
of the Empire Coal company's coal
dock near the d r. !. & n. w. de-
pot were mashed into kindling wood.
At the Gre scent bridge several
Gorges formed, some of them being
higher than the track, and the strain
upon the piers was terrific. At the
upper end of Offerman's island and ut
other points in the distance, can be
seen mountains of ice that will not
melt for weeks.
AS soon as word was passed that
the ice was moving both banks of the
river were lined wiLh'animated crowds,
in which cameras were copspicuously
in evidence.
The rapid rise of the water necessi-
tateu the shutting down of the Rock
Island arsenal water power at noon
today and the dismissal of the work
ing crew.
At Davenport the ice piled noun
tain high near the Weverhsuser &
Denkmann sawmill, wrecking the dry
house and damaging other property.

INDUSTRIAL IRIUNPHS.
AMERICAN .NIANUFACTURE
WIN FAVOR ABROAD.
Within the Last Two Years This
Country Has Given Remark
able Evidence of Her Su-
pefiority in Industrial
Enterprise.


Within the last two years there
have been some remarkable des
monstrations OF the superiority
of this country in industrial en-
terprise and Of the steady and
rapid exclusion Of our CONS
merce.
A raceuG Instance is attracting
attention in Europe as we'll as in
the United States.
An American firm has se-
cured contract for 100000
worth Of rolling stock for d
South African railway. Bids
were received from large num-
ber OF British manufacturers
but that of the American com.
pany was one>third lower than
the lowest British bid and the
cars will bs delivered much care
ller than any British concern
could agree TO supply them.
The industrial journals of Eng.
land ere conaiaorably dispuroe2
over this matter and one Of them
asks the British manufacturers
it they intend to let Americans
capture the trade Of the coun-
tries which England has just
conquered and from whose COM
merce she had expected such big
benefits.
It will be remembered that the
British steel manufacturers wore
made very sore by she bestowal
upon American bidders of the
contracts for the steel bridges
| and large part of tha steel rails
for the railroad which England
began to build in the Soudan
soon after Lord Kitchener COM
pleted the conquest of that re-
gion. England desired to have
that railroad completed as soon
as possible and the American
contractors won both because
they underbid the British and be-
cause they could guarantee to do
the work IN much shorter time,
| The latter consideration was the
more important With the British
government, Il has been proved
| several times that in competiS
| ton for great railroad con tracts
the American concerns which un-
| dsrtaks such work can beat all
others Doth in price and time.
American locomotives are in
demand IA ali parts Of the world
and graaE quantities Of American
steel rails have recently been
laid on some Of she trunk lines
in England.
In the lighter lines of manu-
facture American enterprise is
constantly invading new terri
tory. American sewing machines
bicycles, agricultural machinery,
carpets, shoes and American
goods of many other kinds are
now sold abroad in quantities far
greater than anybody would
have dared predict ten years ago
and have become articles of com q
mon use in many localities where
up to a few years ago they had
never been seen.
The onward march of Ameri-
can industry and enterprise is
one of the phenomana of the
: closing year Of the nineteenth
9 century.
