The Question of Manufactures.

Washington is not satisfied with the
extent of its manufactures and Is agi-
tating the public with the expectation
of securing organized effort to attract
to this city men and capital to be en-
ployed in a variety Of manufactured
products. The standing Of the city In
the census as manufacturer Is not
low, being something like twenty-sev-
enth, but this figure is Elusive, aad the
expectation is to induce manufacturers
that will take advantage of the yet un.
developed water power of the Potomac,
the convenient coal and iron fields, the
five trunk lines of railway offering con-
ditions not enjoyed by many cities that
have greater manufacturing impor-
lance. The men who have discussed
the subject are very plainly not salts
fed to see the city increasing in popu-
lation while the proportion of the pop
ulation that derives income from the
government to support the whole num-
Der is constantly increasing.

Not the Proper Hour,

About nine tenths of the cranks who
are allowed to enter the city Of Wash
ington sooner or later make their way
to the treasury department. They seem
to have spite against the place be-
cause there is an immense quantity of
money within the walls of the great
white marble building. Secretary Gage
has become so expert in handling them
that he would make first rate warden
of an insane asylum when he lets go of
his place in the cabinet. The other
day one of these cranks secured an
audience with the secretary after tell
ing an impressive story to the clerk In
the outer Office.
"Mr. Secretary" he said briskly as
he approached Mr.. Cages desk, Il
won't detain you but a minute. Just
please sign your name to this"
What is it?" asked Mr.. Gage, reach
Ing for the piece of paper which the
crank had taken from his pocket.
"a check for $135,0O0," answered
the crank.
"The government does not allow me
to sign personal checks during office
hours" replied the secretary. Come
in after o'clock"
Thank you, SIR" answered the
crank as he reached for his hat. He
did not know that after that hour he
would be compelled to state his bust
ness at the outside door of the treasury
building.

AN ICE GORGE.

Plattsmouth, Neb., March S.-The
Platte river is swirling food Of
rapidly rising backwater. An ice
gorge which has formed in the Mis-
souri, river has choked the mouth of
the Platte, causing that stream to
overflow its banks and spread its
heaped-up burden of grinding ice
over the lowlands on either side.
A section of the old main line of the
Burlington road between 0reapols
and Cedar Creek has been washed out.
stopping all traffic by way of that
line. Both the Burlington and the
Missouri Pacific roads have a bridge
across the Platte at this point and
the latter is suffering severely from
the gorge. The water began to rise
early yesterday morning and reached
the Burlington tracks and the level
of the bridges before noon. Yester-
day afternoon both roads sent extra
crews of section men to watch the
tracks and hold themselves in readi-
ness for an emergency.
All traffic over the Burlington be-
tween this point and Schuyler and
Lincoln is being carried on by way Of
Omaha. Unless the gorge at the
mouth of the Platte breaks up soon,
fears are entertained for the safety
Of the railroad bridges at Oreapolis.
