Pittsburg, February 26.-Indcations at midnight are that the big ice gorge in the Allegheny river may let go early to- morrow morning or some time during the day. The first sign of general breakup in the gorge occurred about noon today just below Kittanning. The ice cracked in a number of places at this point, making cracks that extended from bank to bank. The breaking of the ice made noise that could be heard for miles, and re- sembled thunder Between Il a. m. and 2 D. m. the water rose about three feet, caused by the melting ice and snow on the side. The Kiskiminetas river is still frozen solid, though great volumes of water are flowing out. At 11:30 tonight the government observer issued the fol- lowing statement:
 There is no indication of heavy rain In sight at the present time. The Monon- gahela ice is still running and will no doubt be all out of the main stream by Thursday or Friday. The Youghiougheny is still closed, with no reports of its nov ing up to II D. m. The river observer at Freeport reported at D. m: River 6s and rising slowly, showing rise since a. m. of IA feet.
 At S:45 D. m. the same observer tele- phoned that the ice had started out with 10 feet of water, a rise of 3.2 feet in 45 minutes. This looks as if the ice in the Allegheny river would break up tomor- row or Thursday night. The result can not be predicted All I can do is to say that the indications are that it may move out''

PHILIPPINES NOT
 ENTIRELY PACIFIED
General Breckinridee Returns From Army Posts and Says There Is
 Room for Improvement.

San Francisco, February 26.-Brigadicr General J. c. Breckinridse, inspector general of the United States army, re- turned on the transport Hancock from a tour of inspection of the Philippine isl- ands. In discussing the situation in the Philippines he said:
 'srhe islands cannot be sand to be en- tirely pacifed, for a certain amount of guerrilla warfare is going on. The mill tary forces are not operating to any great extent just now, as this is the rainy sea son. After the rains are over 1 expect the soldiers will penetrate to the interior and bring about peace.
 ''I visited the different posts and found there is room for great improvements. The posts were much better however than I expected to find them. The signal corps has done glorious work on the isl- ands That branch of the service has lost more men than any other depart ment. I believe that if the strength of the signal corps were doubled down there the work would be quadrupled.
 Governor Taft has made great ad- vancement toward placing the islands on a peaceful and substantial industrial footing. s
 'The schools in the islands are flourish ing. The white teachers who have gone to the Philippines are accomplishing good results, but l believe it would be a great thing if native teachers of the Philip pines were sent here to study our form of government.
 eI think the day Is not far distant when Manila will have a population of a mil- lion inhabit ants-yes, a million and a half. It is a great seaport. and the Phil ippines are most valuable possessions'

 NEEDS LITTLE WORK
Is Already Sufficiently Complete to Admit of the Assembling of
 Large Body of Troops.

Chattanooga, February 26-General II. " Boynton, president of the Chicka- mauga national military park commission in an interview on the proposed camp of instruction at Chickamauga Park says:
 The camp of instruction at Chicka- mauga, is already sufficiently complete to admit of the assembling of a large body of troops upon weeks notice. With the cleaning up of the storehouses and relaying few branches of railroad side track about them, providing an advance supply of wood looking after the extra machinery at the pumping station and few other such matters as these, 25,0O0 or 30,Uvo troops could be received and properly started in thoroughly comfort able camps without putting the park au- thorities to any inconvenience as to haste in preparation.
 The scheme of the camps of lnstruc- ton is a part of the elaborate war col iege project which Secretary Root has presented to Congress, the machinery for which has been worked out for him. and under his instruction by Col. Wm. Car ter of the adjutant generals office. It makes of the entire army from the school for the private soldier up to the instruc- tion of a general staff officer in the war college at Washington, great military university, and in the course of a few years will make our army one of the best educated bodies in professional lines to be found. The project of the Secretary of War also includes throwing open all these advantages to the officers of the national guard"

While women have every right to- an equality with men in matters of education they are going out side their sphere when that portion of their education fitting them for the higher duties of home life and motherhood does not take precedence over everything else.
 Education for women that began only a few years ago on elementary lines, has extended to technical and classical courses and has enabled women to com pete for places formerly filled by men who supported families in many in- stances The continuation of women en- tering the commercial and industrial field cannot but have disastrous results in time unless something is done to provide for a home life also for women and the tendency to enter the office and factory is checked

BIG STEAMSHIP
 COMES IN CRIPPLED
FOR NINE DAYS THE NEcKAR OF THE GERMAN-LLoYD LINE BAT TILED WITH FIERCE ATLANTIC GALES.

Halifax, N. S., February 26.-The big twin-screw steamship Neckar, of the North German-Lloyd line with her pro- peller disabled, was conveyed into Hali- fax harbor this afternoon by the steam CT Karlsruhe of the same line and the British steamer Matin Head of the Head Line. The Neckar and the Karlsruhe are both from Bremerhaven for New York with a combined passenger list of 256J people. The Matin Head and the Karls- ruhe fell in with the Neckar on the same day that the accident happened and both stood by the disabled vessel.
 The Matn Head was bound from New Orleans for Havre.
 The Neckar came into port under her own steam after battling for nine days with the gales that swept the North At lantic
 In one of these gales both propellers were disabled and the rudder shaft was broken. Assistance came in the nick of time.
 The Karlsruhe stood by. Eight times connections were made between the two big steamers and as many times the Karlsruhe lost her tow. The storm blew with fury day after day
 Time and time again after the lines parted the Neckar drifted at the mercy of the wind and waves but Captain Hur- rassowitz stuck to his post and the vessel was brought safely to Halifax in tow of the Karlsruhe and Matin Head.
 The officers and crew had thrilling experience for the nine days that they battled with the elements For the first four days not man of the whole crew got more than half an hours sleep from the time of the accident Captain Hurras- sowitz only sleeping twelve hours during the entire time. The three blades of the port propeller were carried away one at a time, and then the starboard propeller with the rudder were swept away or rem dered useless. The passengers are none the worse for their exciting experience.

A special earbled from COM
munlcation sent to the CONNER
cial Appeal by its correspondent t
at this place relative to school
matters in this county, is very mis-
leading as regards Aberdeen.
This assumed special states that
the Aberdeen school board is con-
sidering the extension of the city
school term from a six to a seven
months session. The fact is.
Aberdeen has never had so short
term as seven months, the SEES
sion in this city always having
been eight and one half months.
The extension from six to seven
months applied to the term of the
county or rural schools and was
SO stated by the Commercial APP
peal's correspondent. Aberdeen
does net relish having her educa-
tlonal status trimmed down be-
low the minimum. She could not
have existed as a separate school |
district on less than seven months |
anyhow, and the chump who man
ufactured the special was ignorant |
of the first requirement of the I
school law.
