Ice-Laden Schooner Winslow Makes
Difficult WAY Up the River.

With snow falling so thick and fast
that Capt Davis, master Of the tug
Camilla, could not make out shore marks,
and with a cold northeaster blowing down
the Potomac. the ice-laden schooner Jacob
s. Winslow was towed up the river
Thursday night and was locked at Alex
andria to unload her cargo The schooner
comes from Boothbay, Me-. and has
about 400 tons Of ice under her matches,
consigned to the Mutual Ice Company

The schooner Clarence H. Venner. also
loaded with ice for Alexandria, has passed
In the capes from Boothbay. The Camilla

NO FINE AGAINST SHIP.
Tourist Vessel Cleveland Held to
Have Not Violated Law,

No fine is to be assessed against the
steamship Cleveland, which carried tour
lists from New York to San Francisco
some time ago and was held up by the
collector Of the port at the lattey city on
her arrival there. The $1,000 deposited
by the captain Of the ship IL to be re-
turned.
The decision In tho case by the Attor-
ney General, which has Just been an
nounced. takes the view that the Ship
which is of foreign register. was not
engaged in carrying passengers from one
domestic port to another; that the tour
was a round trip from New York to New
York and the fact that some of the pas
sengers left the ship at San Francisco
and returned to New York by rail was
merely an incident of the trip and did
not subject it to the fine OF 500 for each
passenger who SO landed and returned to
New York.

Lighter Adrift in the River.

The officers OF the incoming steamers
report large lighter. such as lie used In
carrying wood from the river bank to
vessels lying in the stream loading for
this city, adrift in the river off Potomac
creek. The lighter seemed to be perfectly
sound. and was floating high in the water.
and is supposed to have been worked
of the shore by the easterly storm of
Wednesday night and Thursday. The
lighter IL almost in midchannel, and Is
an obstruction to navigation that might
damage a small sailing craft that was
unfortunate enough to strike 1t. It Is
thought, however. that the prevailing
winds yesterday carried the lighter
ashore, and out OF harms way from
passing steamboats,. The lighter is
thought to be owned by one of the wood
handling frnns doing business along the
river front.
