PREPARING FOR WINTERS REST
Masters of River Craft Looking For
ward to Season of Inactivity.

Owners and masters Of river craft which
bring lumber. cord wood. railroad ties
and other cargoes from downriver points
to this city are preparing for their win
ter tie-up, and within the next three
weeks fully two-thirds Of the river craft
will have been placed out Of commission
in sheltered harbors along the river to
remain until all danger of a freeze is
over. The schooner Bertha May will be
the first Of the fleet to go out of COM
mission this year. She left here last
week for Nanjamoy creek and Capt.
Kendrick stated that on her arrival there
she would be placed in retirement until
the warm spring breeZes begin to blow.
The schooners Eleanor RUSSELL Capt.
Shannon, and Silver Star, Capt. Keys,
with probably return with cargoes before
laying up. but if the weather should be-
come cold their masters will take no
chances of being caught away from home
by a freeze and will tie up at once. The
schooners Lanclott, Maud S., Five Sisters,
Mary Ann Shea, Mary Francis, Carrie
Revell and a host of others will join the
lafd-up fleet between now and the Christ
mas holidays.
Lumber dealers who have in the past
two or three weeks endeavored to char
ter vessels to bring lumber here from
Virginia and North Carolina points are
finding trouble in securing tonnage mas
tiers OF bay craft being unwilling to come
up the Potomac at this time of the year
for fear Of a sudden freeze catching and
keeping them here for an indefinite
period.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Holmes Bombay to Delhi"

Bombay to Delhi" the first Of the two
travelOgueS on India in Burton Holmes
present course. was presented at the Co
lumbia last night and will be repeated
this afternoon. A monsoon in the Arabian
sea enlivened the voyage from France
to India and sightseeing tours through
Bombay gave intimate glimpses of its
bazaars, festivals, singing girls. nautch
dancers and other phases of oriental
life. Americas invasion of the east was
evidenced by folding baby carriages and
other Yankee devices, and England
power was demonstrated by scenes illus
trating her military strength and dis
cipline, with a closing motion review of
the Norfolk regiment on church parade.
MethodSsof eastern travel We're illustrat-
ed in a trip to and around Jaipur. in
which the journey was varied by rail-
way, elephant and camel, and "a state
progress through the pink city, had for
its climax visit to the palace Of the
Maharaja of Jaipur and peep at his
pets. The abandoned palaces of old
Amber were inspected on the way to
Delhi and scenes in the streets and by
ways of the future capital included a
motion view of the Moslem multitude at
prayer in the great mosque of Delhi
Final pictures illustrated Mr.. Holmes
description Of ''India's hopes-and Eng
lands duty" and last view was shown
of the seven ancient Delhis and the tomb
of Humayun.

CRAFT NOT TO BE RAISED.
Old River Schooner Leroy Will Be
Left to Decay.

Finding that her long submergence in
Nanjemoy creek had badly damaged the
Old vessel and made her not worth the
cost Of raising, the owner of the old
river schooner Leroy. formerly a regular
trader to this port, has had her wrecked
and She will be stricken from the gov
eminent list of sailing craft.
The masts, steering gear. windlass and
all objects of value have been taken off
the vessel and brought to this city, and
the hulk will be left in Nanjemoy to de-
cay.
About a year ago the Leroy left here
for Nanjemoy to load cord wood for this
city. A part Of the cargo had been
placed on the old vessel. when Capt. Jor-
dan, her owner and master. was taken
Ill. He went to Baltimore to a hospital
and remained there for several weeks,
and while he was in the hospital the
Leroy sank.
Winter and freezing weather came. and
this, with other matters, prevented the
raising of the craft, and it was about a
month or six weeks ago before she was
looked after and found unfit to raise.
She was a two-masted vessel of twenty
five net tons and was 1913 feet long. She
was built at ST. Michaels. Nd, in 1881
and hailed from Alexandria.

EX-SENATOR BLAIR'S VIEWS.
Asks Gov. Wilson to Support Anti.
Third Term Fight.

Former Senator Henry w. Blair Of New
Hampshire. president Of the Anti-Third
Term League, has written to Gov Wood
row Wilson asking him to support the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
prohibiting more than two presidential
terms. In his letter Mr.. Blair stated.
There can be no doubt that the Amer
lean people will amend their Constitution
so as to preclude eligibility to the presi-
def1cy for more than eight years.
1.-The third-term people will probably
long debate any single term in Congress,
and forever in the legislatures. and
would thus defeat all action. 1t would be
almost a complete victory for them to Sc
cure the submission of four or six year
joint resolution to the people.
This is the unfinished business in the
Senate and the issue must be met now.
Senator Williams has submitted an
amendment to the resolution as now
pending in the Senate which is in SUBJ
stance. I think. what we pray for in the
inclosed memorial. which memorial is
nom partisan, and to each clause of which
I beg your careful personal attention.
The time is very short. This is likely to
be the great issue in 1876
