ICE I'M DELAWARE RIVER.
Navigation Practically Suspended in
Both the River and Bay.

PHILADELPHIA. January 20.-Because
of the continued cold weather and the con-
seauent forming of ice foes navigation In
the Delaware river and bay Is practically
suspended. A dozen large vessels. several of
them transatlantic steamships, are pre-
vented from continuing their voyages be-
cause of the thickness of the Ice In the river.
The ferryboats are unable to make their
trips between this city and Camden except
at long intervals and with great difnculty.
The ice pack at the Horse Shoe" a bend
in the river at Gloucester, N. j.. Is SO great
that even the Philadelphia ice boats are un-
able to make passageway and one OF these
boats was ice bound for half hour Among
the vessels held up by the ice is the steam
ship Noordiand, which sailed from this city
yesterday for Liverpool The Noordland Is
anchored off Reedy Island, Del.

not know whether Foraker would be can
didate for the big Four or not, the con-
ciusion naturally was that he did not ex-
pect that he would he. Coxs chief 1ieu-
tenant, Rud Hynicka. said that only the
most unusual conditions could result in the
election of two members of the big Four
from Hamilton county. and added that II
Senator Foraker became a candidate he
would have Hamilton county solfdiy against
him. for 1t would have to support Mr.. Cox.
1t would seem therefore that Senator
Foraker could only go as a district dele
gate and he would hardly accept that.
Senator Foraker said before leaving Gin
cinnai that he expected to be a candidate
for delegate-at-large and was confident
that he would be placed on the big -Four.
