FLOOD AvERrED
Big Ice Jam Formed Last Night in the
 Allegheny River.

Pittsburg, Dec 30.-The threatened food as result of the heavy rainfall of Saturday and Sunday has been ayerted by the cold snap and the rivers at this point will not reach over twenty-foot stage.
 During the night a big ice jam formed in the Allegheny river be- tween the Fort Wayne railroad bridge and the bridge at Sixteenth street and for a time threatened to sweep the new railroad bridge away. The gorge caused the rivers to overflow and at I o'clock this morning Pine street and River avenue, Allegheny, were flooded. The Allegheny department of public safety at once sent out men to warn people living in the lower part of the city to vacate their homes, but half hour later the jam broke with an aw- ful crash.
 The ice was forced between the Fort Wayne bridge piers by the immense volume of water and some of the false work under the new bridge was torn away. but otherwise the structure was not damaged. About twenty-five coal barges. lying on the Allegheny, were torn from their mooringS and forced up on River avenue. The loss to prop erty was slight. The rivers are now rapidly being cleared of ice and no more danger is expected.

RURAL CARRIERS PAY.
New Rule as Result of Petition from
 Fairfield Gnuntv

4
 Fairfield County.
 A special to the Hartford Courant from Washington says that the recent order of the postoffice department au- thorizing the payment of rural free de- livery carriers at a central state office Is directly due to a suggestion from the carriers of Fairfield county. It has been the custom since the inaugura- ton of the rural free delivery service for the department to pay the carriers Dy treasury warrants issued from Washington. The regular routine fol- lowed iA making such payments neces- sitates a delay of nearly month in the payment of the carriers. The de- lay was anything but satisfactory to the rural free delivery carriers They contrasted their slow payments with the custom followed in paying the or dinary mail carriers who were paid di- rect by the postmasters.
 Last October the rural carriers of Fairfield county held a meeting in brldgeport and drew up a petition to Representative Hill asking that the postoffice department authorize the postmaster at Bridgeport to pay their odihllC u0 udLIeF was laid before Superintendent Machen of the post office department by Mir Hill, but the department replied that the desired change could not be made. Mir Hill. however, insisted that the plan was feasible and had several consultations with MT Machen. The result was a plan was formed providing that some convenient office in each state be des- ignated from which the state carriers could be paid each month and a gen eral order has been issued to this ef- feet.
 Bridgeport. whose carriers first sug- gested the plan, was designated as the fiscal office for Connecticut and the 1O7 Connecticut carriers will be paid from that office after the first of Janu- ary, when the new rule goes into eff feet. The carriers will now suffer lit tie delay in receiving their salaries. as the payments can be made to every carrier in the state within two or three days.

4 PER|LOUS VOYAGE.
The Ship Paul Revere Was 137
 Days at Sea.

Two Members of the Crew Died-The
 Ship Made the Trip From Japan By
 Way of Cape Horn-After Turning
 the Horn Gales Were Encountered
 Continuously.
 New York, Dec 3O--One hundred and thirty-seven days at sea. during which time two of her crew died and q score or more gales were encoun- tered, imperiling the lives of the sur- yiyors, is the record of the ship Paul Revere, which has just arrived from Japan via Cape Horn. August 14 the Revere, of which Captain Wilson is the skipper, sailed away from Kobe for New York. On the Pacific the weather was ideal, but soon after the Horn was turned gales, principally from the northeast, began to gather, following each other in rapid success sion. On October 27 young sailor from Providence, k. l., named Nils Mjelstrom, While perched on the fore topsail yard, lost his balance and fell to the deck. He was injured so badly that he died shortly afterwards. The other death on board was due to nat ural causes. September 26 F. +. Sal vadora of Brooklyn, the steward, died of consumption and was buried.

HEAVY DoWNPoUR
Resulted in Dangerous Freshet
 Schuylkill River.

Schuylkill River.
 Philadelphia, Dec 30.-The rain which has fallen almost necessarily since Saturday evening has resulted in a dangerous freshet in the Schuylkill and to-day the water of that stream Is 151b feet above normal. All the big industrial plants along the Schuylkill at Manayunck and Ristown, near, are flooded and work has been suspended.
 The county bridge at Port Kennedy, Pa. has been wrecked by the flood and the tracks of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad at Spring Mill, about eight miles from here, are submerged. Traffic has not been seriously inn peded.
 Tn this city the river is out of it's banks near the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station, the water having backed out to Twenty-fourth street, the first thoroughfare east of the sta tion. Cellars of dwellings are flooded and many residents along the river early today sought safer quarters.
 The Wissahickon drive, through Fairmount park, which runs.along the Schuylkill river for miles, is under water.
 At Reading a thirteen foot food was raging i'll the Schuylkill river early this morning as result of the heavy rainfall of the past two days. No seri- osu damage was done, however, and the water is receding.

SCHLEY'S COUNSEL TALKS
Says the Admiral Considers the
 Case Closed.

His Friends, However, Will Appeal to
 Congress-WilI Ask That the Ad-

 bursed for the Expense He Has Been
 Put to in the Schley Hearing.
 New York, Dec 30.-Captain James Parker of Perth Amboy, N. J., one. of Schley's counsel, said today regarding the Schley trial that the admiral con- sidered the case as closed. but his friends will ask congress to vindicate him by retiring him on full pay and reimbursing him for the expenses of the trial
 MT Rayner favors the institution of civil proceedings against Maclay, but Admiral Schley feels that if he should obtain judgment for damages against Maclay he could not, perhaps, collect it, while if he should be successful in q criminal libel suit he would get no real satisfaction from the punishment of his alleged libeler

POLO PLAYERS BOUNCED
Manager Harrington sa. He Is Runs
 ming Polo for the Present.


 Just at the present time there aro very many things doing in the polo world, particularly so in the Water bury team. Manager Harrington still holds the franchise, for at the meeting held in New Haven yesterday the other managers told the local players to keep their hands off and let the present manager continue to do busi- ness. The players say that they have not interfered, but that Manager Har- rington gave up the management and they decided to run the team on the cooperative basis. Manager Harring- ton says that two or three of the play- CTS have been making life miserable for him tile past few weeks and con, sequently he has released Tarrant, Kid Conway and Eddie Menard. In their places he has signed Higgins of Providence, Mains of Hartford and Warner. Griffin and Sutton may not play with this team, but they can do so if they desire. If they do not wish to play, then Manager Harrington says he will nave a whole new team. The players tell one story, the manages tells another, and out of the bo.4. -sfan- ager Harrington seems to have landed on the top. 1ne team will play in New Haven tomorrow night, Meriden on Wednesday afternoon and Meriden here at night.

0dllUA OA 4AaAAAOaoSs
 Helena. Mont, Dec 30.-Governor Toole is actively preparing for the con- ference of northwestern governors to be held in this city beginning today, to decide upon plans to block the pro posed consolidation of the Great North ern. Northern Pacific and Burlington roads.

VIOLATING THE PROTOCOL.
Charles Cannon Writes of the Stu

Charles Cannon Writes of the Situ-
 ation in Northern China.
 New York, Dee 30.-Charles F. Gam mon, superintendent of colporteurs for the American Bible society in northern China, writes to the society concern ing the present situation in the Chi neSe empire as follows:
 While at Shanghai I observed that the Chinese government was openly violating the provisions of the proto- col. The great empire would shake off European domination. Thousands of boat loads of small arms and ammu- milton were passing weekly up the Yang-Tse-K -Kiang and the arsenals were being enlarged and work day and night. Cargoes of explosives were be- ing received, and the dowager em- press had issued instructions to all of ficialS to recruit the army, and also to inform her as to the fighting strength of each division and the time required to concentrate the forces at a given point. There were and are many other unpromiSing features which weighed heavily upon the minds of those interested 1 must believe that the end is not yet and that within ten years and possibly within five. q war will ensue the like of which the world has never known. For centuries China has been making repeated at tempts to eXpel the foreigner, each time protiting by past experience, each time with more power and success, each time better equipped and better planned. She is now preparing as never before, buying vast quantities of superior weapons and reorganizing her armies on a correct basis. Therefore, the next attempt will be gigantic in force and terrible ill execution. It will result in a universal upheaval and the final dismemberment of this em- pire-at a terrible cost
