In the order calling attention to the dis
aster to the battleship Maine and it's les
sons and results, Commander Mitchell says:
There is no need to repeat the injunction
that has passed into the life history of the
American people to Remember the Maine"
What there Is of bitterness in that memory
time is rapidly healing But the reverence
we feel for those officers and men who went
10 death in the line of their duty can never
lessen. 1t is only a very little tribute to
them that today we lay flowers upon their
graves 1t Is done. not lest we forget but
because we do not forget"

ICE ON THE RIVER.
Warmer Weather Results in Better
ment Of Conditions.

The lower Potomac is still blocked with
Ice, but If the weather remains as warm as
it is now for a day or two 1t is said to be
probable that the steamers to the lower
river will be able to resume their trips the
coming week. The steamer Norfolk Of the
Norfolk and Washington line arrived here
this morning practically on time, the ice
having given her no trouble. Her officers
report having passed the steamer North
cumberland Of the Baltimore line early this
morning off the mouth of Mattawom
creek on her way to this city. The
steamer will arrive here in time to take
aboard freight and sail on her return trip
at O'Clock this afternoon.
The officers of the steamer Estelle Ran
dali report the ice conditions considerably
improved about Fort Washington last even
ing, and she made the run from Marshall
Hall without experiencing trouble
The southerly winds yesterday evening
banked the ice between Shepherds and
Alexandria, and below Alexandria the
river was one solid mass of jumbled cakes
OF Ice This morning, however, the river
channel was almost clear from the Eastern
branch to Alexandria, and standing on
the wharf at Alexandria the channel
seemed to be open as far as the eye could
see about Fort Washington.
While the ice did not thaw much last
night, the rivermen believe that a day or
two more of warm weather will make
considerable change in the conditions.

Case Settled Out of Court.

Settlement was made out Of court in the
case of the Peabody Coal Company against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad before the
interstate commerce commission yesterday.
Part of two days had been consumed in
the hearing and the coal company had
shown that whatever might be the abstract
justice of the railroads system of mine
rating and car distribution, 1t had undoubt-
eddy worked a great deal of hardship in
this particular instance. AS a ruling by the
commission would have necessitated upset
ting the whole system of car distribution
and undoubtedly would have led to tenn
porary injunction by the courts and in tying
the whole matter up for long time, it was
suggested to the two sides that the quickest
way to get action was for the counsel to
get together outside of court and fix up
some scheme applicable to this particular
case that could be tried for awhile at least
to see whether a substantial agreement
could not be reached. This was done and
unless the agreement falls to work there
Will be no necessity OF proceeding further
with the case.

Hearing Appeals by Policemen.

George T. Hilton, member of the police
force, who was adjudged to be guilty by
the trial board of intoxication while on
duty and recommended for dismissal, was
granted hearing by the board of Com
missioners yesterday. He contended that
the findings of the trial board were not in
conformity with the evidence and that the
penalty recommended is unjust. Hilton de-
clared that he was not intoxicated, as
charged by Sergt. Hedley; that he never
drinks liquor, and that he testified to that
effect before the trial board.
According to Hilton, he was taken sick
with cramps and drank an ounce of strong
bitters, which not only severely burned
him, but made him extremely i'll and nau-
seated him.
The Commissioners announced that they
will recommend a hearing for Hilton be-
fore the trial board in order that he may
offer new testimony.
ID. l.. O'Bren, the crossing policeman at
9th and G streets, will not be dismissed
from the force because of intoxication, as
recommended by the police trial board, but
will have TO pay fine of $50. This modi-
fication was made by the Commissioners
upon the recommendation of Commissioner
West.
