MASS OF DEBRIS IN RIVER
POTOMAC CHANNEL FILLED
WITH ICE AND LOGS.
High Water Caused by the Melting
of Snow in the
Mountains.

The current caused by the high water
from the melting SHOWS along the upper
waters of the Potomac, was this morning
racing down the river at a lively gait and
bearing with it broken ice, logs, lumber
ana other debris in a jumbled mass. The
mass of the drift ice from the upper
river has passed down, on it's way to
the Chesapeake. but large quantities have
been carried into quiet waters alongside
the seawall Of Potomac Park and are
lying there awaiting a breeze TO work it
out into the river.
Inc water is passing under the bridges
across the Virginia channel in great yell
low sWirls, and at the falls the mad rush
over the rocks and through the gorge
presents a magnificent spectacle. River
men are looking for a decrease in the
force OF the current this afternoon or to-
night.
Gorges Block River.
Below this city the combination of cur
rent and ice has again blocked the river
and made navigation troublesome even
Tor the steamboats,. About Fort Wash
1ngton ice gorges have begun to form,
and from this city to Glymont and below
the river is full of drifting ice. The COM
blnation of southerly winds and current Is
causing high water, though there is little,
if any, flood tide. The high waters will
aid in solving the ice problem on the
river for a strong westerly wind will
send much of 1t ashore and at the same
time cause the water to fall to lower
level and leave the ice stranded. On the
flats opposite Alexandria the ice has
grounded, one cake upon another until
they have formed in ice masses eight
and ten feet high.
Hole in Gate Bridge.
One of the gates in the tidal basin out
let. at the foot of 18th street south
west. has a large hole broken through
1T by pressure of water. and yesterday
afternoon stream was rushing through
1t that caused big whirlpool, and eddies
In the basin for a hundred feet away
from the opening. Since the completion
of the new bridge across the inlet into
the basin from the Virginia channel the
gates in 1t have been kept closed at all
times, to keep the muddy water of the
river out of the basin. On ebb tides
the gates in the 14th street bridge open
and allow the water to flow out, but as
automatically. They closed yesterday,
and when the water was rushing through
the break in the gate, it's level in the
harbor was about two feet above that
OF the basin.
Condition Regarded as Dangerous.
The broken gate creates a dangerous
condition in the west end of the harbor
for small boats, for one venturing under
the arches of the new bridge at the foot
of 18th street would be caught by the
suction of the water going through the
hole, and would probably be overturned.
1t is stated that the engineer officer
in charge of the harbor will arrange to
keep the gates under the 14th street
bridge open at all tides to allow the
water to flow in and out, as long as those
under the new bridge over the inlet are
closed. This will keep the water of the
basin and of the harbor at a level and
will cause no current to or from the
basin.
