Louisville, Jan. 1S.-The great ice
gorge which, for the past two weeks,
have held solid in the Ohio river for
several miles, broke today and tonight
the great mass is moving southwark
without doing damage more serious
than carrying away small craft and
causing caye-ins of banks.
The break seemed to be the result
of a general softening of the ice at
all points, but rivermen say it is too
soon to tell whether the great field
nearly seventy miles in length Will
move out in its entirety or merely
take I'D a new position further south.

Washington, JAN ia. new and
decidedly interesting turn was given
to the ''insurgent"[ = movement in the
house today when representatives of
California, Murdoch of Kansas, and
Gardner of Massachusetts, hastened to
the White House to tell the president
in effect that they were afraid that
they had been used" by the Demo-
Gratis in the matter of the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee and
that the Democrats were taking ads
vantage of the opportunities to put
two of their most partisan members
on the committee for the purpose OF
making political capital out of the ar
fair.
Mr.. Hayes told the president that
while he was an insurgent, he did not
intend to be placed in the position OF
helping the Democrats to throw mud
at a Republican administration. This,
he was afraid, was going to happen
unless some means of changing the
Democratic selections for the invest1-
eating committee could be devised.
Messrs. James of Kentucky, and
Rainey of Illinois were selected by the
Democratic caucus for appointment
under the action of the insurgent-
Democratic combination, which took
the power of appointing the commit
tee away from the speaker.
Hardly had Mr.. Hayes left the exec
utive offices when Messrs. Murdock
and Gardner walked in, arm-in-arm.
They reiterated much that Mr. Hayes
had said, but admitted that they did
