The River.

The embargo upon everything save
propeller steamers still exists in the river,
and adyices from the lower Potomac rep
resent conditions as unchanged.
The steamer Norfolk was but an hour
late in reaching this city this morning.
The feet OF tugboats, in charge OF
Harbor Master Sutton, which was yes
terday engaged in breaking ice 10 the

necessary for all the boats to lay up to-
day for repairs. The screw OF the Will
liam Yerkes, one Of the twelve tugs, was
rcken, aud practically all Of the ice
breaking plows needed extensive repairs.
A channel about 400 feet wide Was
opened up from the entrance Into the
Washington channel all the way to the
Aqueduct bridge The ice below the
Long bridge was found TO be about six
inches thick, with three inches of snow
upon it. Little trouble was experienced
10 making passage through 1t by the
tugs and the steamer Estelle Randall.
Above the Long bridge the ice became
thicker and the progress Of the tugs was
much impeded. In the afternoon the
feet operated in the river below Wash
ington. The channel Was widened,
although between Washington and Alex
