A BLOCKADE.
Rivers Emptying Into New York Har-
Dor are Full of Ice.

New York, Feb. 14.-There was
great deal of floating ice in the East
and North rivers and the bay yester-
day and it interfered very much with
navigation. From the Battery look
ing towards the statue of Liberty
one could see 20 tugs, the Ellis Island
ferryboat John G.. Carlisle, the Lib
erty island boat Bay Ridge and the
ocean liner Concho all stuck fast in
the ice. The Robert Garrett, of the
Staten Island ferry, was caught off
the Battery with three or four hun
dred passengers aboard, but subse-
quently effected a landing. The Cas-
Teton, of the same line, started from
New York towards Staten Island, but
had to give it up and became stuck
in the ice about a quarter of mile
from shore.
The ice interfered greatly with the
operation of the ferries. The Mon
tauk got wedged in the ice in mid
stream and her 400 passengers were
taken off by tugs. The ice packs
during the afternoon became largely
broken by the vigorous bucking of
the boats. but the public held off
from the boats and the passenger
traffic during what should have been
the rush hours last evening by the
lower East river ferries was unusual
Iy light. People residing in South
Brooklyn regarded the Brooklyn
bridge as the surest and safest way
home.
Travel was so light that the Thirty
ninth street and Hamilton ferries,
which had succeeded in running a
few boats after the breaking up of
the blockade, suspended service.
Harbor towing after dark was pra =
tically at a standstill. The North
river above Thirty-fourth street is
filed almost from shore to shore
with ice cakes and river men say that
if this frigidity continues it will soon
be completely closed above Weehaw-
ken

LAWS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Future Government of the lsla ds
Is Safe In the Hands of Pres
ident Mckinley.

President McKinley's power of fore
sight is matter of record throughout
a period of novel emergencies. When,
therefore, he suggests prompt action
the country receives the recommends
tion in a thoughtful, attentive spirit.
A few days ago the president sent to
congress Secretary Roots report of the
Philippine commission, asking for au-
thoriza tion to establish civil govern
ment beyonf the authority vested in
the president. In the message accom-
panying the letter of the secretary OF
war the president desired the action of
congress to assist in the peaceful de-
velopment of the Philippine islands.
The Spooner bill, introduced in the
senate over a year ago, seems to cover
the points that will serve for begin,
ming. 1t provides that when the in
surrection is completely suppressed by
the military and naval forces of the
United States all military, civil and iu-
dicial powers necessary to govern the
islands, until otherwise provided by
congress, shall be vested by such per-
dent shall direct for maintaining and
protecting the inhabitants in the free
enjoyment of their liberty, property
and religion"
BY the passage of the Spooner bill
congress Will impress its authority
upon the situation and not leave the
president to act alone as the military
head of the government. The presi-
dent in word, wants the sanction Of
congress to go forward, without taking
upon himself the entire responsibility
and the risk of doing more or less than
congress might be willing to approve.
In shaping t he details of the future gov
ernment of the Philippines much time
will be necessary in congress, and
meanwhile the president must act
upon questions that are of an urgent
nature. He is not likely to go too far
upon the authorization of congress.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
functions of that body and has never
infringed upon them in the slightest
degree. As Senator Lodge has said of
the Spooner bill: at meets the need
of the present and stops there" The
president can be trusted for scrup-
ulous respect of proper limitations

THIRTY LIVES LOST.
No Doubt Now that Wreckage Found
Near Bacalieu, N. IT,, was that of the
Steamer Lucerne.

st. Johns, N. f., Feb. 14.-It is al
most certain that the steamer Luz
cerne was the victim of the disaster
near Bacalieu. A message from the
agent to the owners says: "Uniden-
tilted wrecKage, the same as Lu-
cerne's fittings, found at Lead Cove"
The owners and mariners conversant
with the whole affair agree that the
ship has gone. Her loss involves 30
lives, % of her own crew and seven
others. 1t is thought she either
burst her boilers and went to pieces,
or struck the cliffs and foundered.
The only fact beyond dispute is that
c steamer and crew have perished.
All the Lucerne's crew resided here.
1t is now feared that another
wreck has occurred, in this case a
sailing vessel, as a spar belonging to
a three-masted schooner drifted
ashore at Blackhead last evening
with other wreckage which could not
have belonged to the Lucerne.

PLEDGE OF REPUBLICANS.
Every Dollar of silver to BE Main
tained at the Full Value
of Gold.

Now that the house committee on
coinage has favorabIy reported the bill
"to maintain the silver dollar at
parity with gold,'' the people have
again been given the proof that the re-
publican party is determined that ev-
cry dollar bearing the stamp of the
United States is to be maintained at the
full value of the best dollar in circula-
ton on the earth. Every republican on
the committee voted for the 100 gold
cents silver dollar, and every demo-
cratic member of the committee voted
in favor of making the silver dollar
standing disgrace to the American gov
ernment-the vote being nine repub-
licans in favor of honest money and six
democrats in favor of dishonest money.
There should be no doubt that the bill
will pass congress before adjournment.
for the republican party is committed
to the only safe policy of maintaining
every dollar at the gold standard That
is the policy which has reduced inter
est rates about one-half during the
past six years, that policy greatly aided
in the restoration of the labor and
business of all the people who are will
ing to work, and that is the policy
which makes certain that American
business and labor will be maintained
on civilizations money basis.
There seems to be some fear that the
gold standard legislation may be post
poned until the next term of congress.
but the Register believes that every re-
publican senator and congressman will
vote for the prompt redemption of the
party's pledge that the gold standard
be made as strong and solid in the laws
of the nation as words can makeit. The
gold standard should be placed in the
constitution at the earliest possible
date. to thus end all of the cheap money
maniaS. but there is not the slightest
reason why any republican member of
this congress should be in favor of
postponing the gold standard legisla-
tlon until the next term. This is the
congress to carry the will of the party
and of the people into effect by enact
ing the strongest gold standard law
that words and sentences can express.
and there will be no excuse for the re-
publican majority failing to keep faith
with the party platforms and the peo-
pIe.-lowa State Register.

there is more of picturesque interest

 While it is popular thing for one to say that he Is mot here for his health," it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth Is equal to South- ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but 0 few weeks But for all that, tho wonderful Casa Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grende valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason, considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona, Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last ten years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work Of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like sufi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land.
