DELAYED by Ice Gorge.

For the first time since the heavy ice
formed on the river the United States
mail steamer Estelle Randall was de-
layed for a short time yesterday on her
trip down the river, in the packed Ice
between Whitestone Point and Gunston
wharf. The Ice was found to be gorged
to a depth of five or six feet, and when
the steamer got in 1t she could not move
for time. The swells from the naval
tug Tecumseh loosened the ice somewhat
and the steamer was able to force her
way through 1t. The shifting character
of the ice is shown by the fact that when
the steamer on her return trip passed the
spot about two hours afterward almost
free water was found.

STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION.
IndeciAon Regarding Sites for Won
steuben and Pulaski Statues.

A slight hitch has occurred in regard to
the location Of the statues of Won Steuben
and Pulaski provision for which was made
at the last session OF Congress. It had
been originally intended to place these
statues on tho north side OF Lafayette
Square, one at each corner. but this plan
has been interfered with by a proposition
that Pulaski shall be honored with an
equestrian statue, whereas the statue OF
Won Steuben Is to be q standing figure
somewhat similar to the statues of Lafay-
cite and Rochambeau, now located on cor
responding corners Of the south side OF La
fayette Square.
Secretary Root considers that such an
ARRANGEMENT would be incongruous and In
harmonious. and he IL opposed to the erec-
ton of an equestrian statue on Lafayette
Square. Therefore. II the plan OF having an
equestrian statue for Pulaski v adhered 70.
It is practically settled that it will have TO
be located elsewhere than on Lafayette
Square. Such result would interfere with
the original idea of placing on Lafayette
Square the statues of the four principal
foreign officers who assisted the American
army in the revolutionary war.
The question of the sites of these statues
is still under consideration by the
commissions, of which Secretary Root Is
a member, and it is probable that final
action will be postponed until after GOV.
Taft enters upon the discharge or ms
duties as Secretary of War. That onlciai
is a member ex oficio Of the commissions.
