alton in Persia engrosses the attention
of the Russian foreign office, the Turk

ICE JAM YIELDS.
Small Opening Made in Niagara With
Dynamite.

Dynamite.
Youngstown, N. Y, April 23.-A
breach was made today in the grea
ice jam which for ten days has hele
the lower Niagara in it's grip anc
caused damage estimated at 1,000,.
900.
Engineer Kunz and his men ham.
mered away and at o'clock the blast
from $50 pounds of dynamite sent a
tiny rivulet trickling through the east
side of the jam. At dusk further ex-
plosions and the ceaseless grinding of
the floating ice had broadened the
trickle to bold young stream.
Engineer Kunz expects that the
channel will be widened during the
night, and that by morning there will
be broad avenue.
The dynamiting attracted less than
500 spectators. Some chunks Of ice
buried themselves foot in the earth.
One crashed through the roof of the
pumping station.
The main mass of the ice from the
mouth of the river, 10 miles north, is
apparently as solid as masonry. Al out
100 feet from the shore a narrow chan
mel is swiftly running. About 80 feet
north of the head of this channel is
good acre of green water streaked with
chunks Of ice.
The jam is of appalling proportions
1t is IL miles in length and in many
places 60 feet in depth, and represents
millions of tons and strength power
enough to annihilate the four villages
along it's border. if it should start to
go out all at once. Another element
of horror is it's pestilential nature.
with the sushy ice cast high
on the banks is weeks sewage from
the cities along the Niagara frontier.

Thursday. April 22.

Washington, April 22.-Republican
criticism of the pending tariff bill on
the ground that the rates were too high
was prominent in the senate today
when Nelson, of Minnesota, and Dol
liver, of Iowa, attacked various sched-
ules. Under the guise of discussing
the duty on gas retorts general de-
bate was participated in by Demo-
cratic senator's.
1t was agreed by Mr.. Aldrich that at
any time while the measure was being
considered for amendment any para
graph might be reverted and be SUBJ
ject to amendment without the neces-
sity of resorting to any formal parlia-
mentary procedure.
Nelson denounced the measure, de-
claring that the cotton, glass and WOOL
en- schedules were too high. He said
that placing duties on woolen manufac-
tured goods SO per cent higher than
the duty on raw wool was unjust.
Gallinger energetically declared that
that was the same spirit that actuated
New England with it's criticism of any
effort to reduce the high rates that had
prevailed upon her products.
Dolliver declared that not only were
the duties of the Payne-Aldrich bill tool
high, but they were so worded as to
result in large increases of rates with
out definite indication of such increases
in the schedules.

Friday, April 20.

Washington, April 23.-The first
reading of the tariff bill for consider
ing committee amendments was con-
cluded when the senate adjourned TO-
day. According to an announcement
made when the reading began, every
paragraph of the bill will be subject
to amendment when it is taken up for
final consideration next Monday. All
concede, however, that substantial
progress has been made. There will
be return to many of the schedules.
There was comparatively little debate
today, as Aldrich postponed answers to
many questions asked of him in order
to hasten the reading. He said he
would make full explanations when the
amendments received final consdera-
tion. Many provisions, including the
wood pulp and wool schedules were
passed over today on specific objection.

Organization Of Maryland Legls-
ldture.

The Anti-Saloon League has written
the members of the legislature that it has
no candidate for presiding officer of either
House, but calls attention to the fact that
if Speaker or President of the Senate is
chosen who is hostile to local option and
by use of the power of his position defeats
the local option bill, the vote for such pre-
siding officer is the final record on local
option with which the question must &C
back to the people. The League suggests
that friends of the local option bill secure
pledges which will amply protect them on
this point before committing themselves
to the candidacy of any individual.
