Ice Piles Against Structure and Bat

The lighthouse on Maryland Point. in the
Potomac river, has been destroyed by The
drifting ice. Tie ice piled against the
structure and battered il until the lamp
that cost the government several thousand
dollars. was destroyed ana the structure
rendered unsafe.
Mr.. j. +. Faulkner. keeper of the light
remained by it as long as possible, but was
finally forced to leave 1t and escape to the
shore over the drifting ice. 1t is not
thought that much of the structure will be
saved.
The Maryland Point lighthouse was car
ried away by the ice about ten years ago.
and when rebuilt the lighthouse authorities
placed large piles OF stone on each side of
the new structure TO break the ice before
the lighthouse was touched. These stone
piles did their duty well until this winter
and during the past three menths the lee
has carried them away leaving the light
house. on its thin iron supports. at the
mercy of the ice. What happened ten years
ago has repeated itself this winter. The
cakes of ice piled against the lighthouse un-

he repaired or whether a new structure
will be necessary is not known.

Washington, March 2S.--The states of

in a bill which has been completed by
the republican members of the sub
committee on the house committee on
territories. The democratic members of
this subcommittee have been placed in
possession of the bill and after they
have considered it for few days
meeting of the full subcommittee will
be held. The two states mentioned are

mission of the latter two territories is
not delayed by any restrictions of law,
but may be effected as soon as conven-
ton can be called to form a state con-
