Mrs Donald Mclean sprang a sensation
by introducing a resolution which declared
that In view Of the park plans Of the city
Of Washington which might upset the we'll
laid plans of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, she thought it would be
best for the congress to direct the commit
tee on continental hall site to refrain from
making a selection till it was assured that
the park commission would not overturn it's
plans.
Mrs. Mccartney of Pennsylvania was on
her feet at once demanding recognition
She said that as Senator Fairbanks hus-
band of our beloved president general is
chairman of the Senate committee that has
this thing in hand am sure that we can
trust him. Do you suppose that Senator
Fairbanks would do anything to injure the
Daughters of the American Revolution ?'
she asked triumphantly. The president
general simply smiled while the congress
cried mo! noo s.
This brought Mrs. Belle Draper of the
District to her feet with the remark that
Senator Fairbanks will do what he be-
lieves to be right in this matter of the
park commission, regardless of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution" This
was greeted with applause, and again the

ICE GORGE oY THE POTOMAC.
Packed Six rssE High From Shore to

A special to the Baltimore American
from Willamsport, Nd. yesterday says:
The Ice on the Potomac river and Its
tributaries in this section has started to
break up, and there are fears Of great dam
age being done by gorges and high water.
Rain and sleet have been falling constantly
since last night. playing havoc with the
Ice, which covers the river and other
streams for miles. ranging from two to ten
inches In thickness. The greatest danger
apprehended is from the big ice gorge In
the river below here. just above Potomac
Island. There Is a solid wall Of Ice over
six feet high across the river, and the rain
and thaw are having q disastrous effect
upon the mass. People living along the
river below are alarmed. and fear that
damage will be done to their property by
the gorge breaking The river is rising
from the effect Of the heavy rainfall. and
the ice is being broken by the water and
moving down stream. On the lower part
of the river the ice is from six to ten
inches thick, and covers the stream from
shore to shore. The Conococheague creek
also is beginning to rise and the ice Is
breaking up. There Is fear Of the Ice gorg
ing against the canal aqueduct at this
place, but the structure is not considered in
any danger. River men predict that II ths
rain continues there Is a likelihood of an
other big flood like that in 1877 or 1899,
when the water rose to a height Of thirty
five feet above low level.
The ice on Dellingers Wide Water on

of the delegates have spoken in high praise
of the manner in which Mrs. Fairbanks has

The lack of observation Of the day came

congress. Several members of the congress
objected to the speakers that were usually
secured for the exercises, saying that the
speakers invariably got away from Wash

ercises into a grand army camp fire. so by
resolution it was decided that the day
would not be observed.
