BIG ICE GORGE
IS BREAKING UP
Ohio Is Rising With Alarming Rapid
Ity and Vessels AZ Well as Bridge
Piers Are Threatened.
by Associated Press.

Pittsburg, Feb. 37.-Ice 33 inches
thick in the Allegheny river began to
break up at several points above this
city this morning and started on its
journey to Ohio. The heavy cakes
struck a gorge at the mouth of the
Kismetinas river, carrying It and
more gorged ice back several miles in
that river.
The Monongahela, too, was pour
ing out huge cakes of ice, most of
which came out of the Youghiogheny
river. and both streams with the
usual feeding caused the Ohio to rise
with alarming rapidity.
At 10 o'clock this morning the OH
cial stage of the Ohio as reported by
the weather bureau was 1875 feet and
rising. River service bulletins say %
feet win be reached by morning.
The heavy ice, while threatening
wharf boats and shipping, as well as
numerous bridge piers. has done no
damage as yet. but guards have been
stationed at several of the older
bridges in the Allegheny.

Great Britain Acknowledges Right
Of United States to Fortify Canal

clause in the Clayton -Bulwer treaty.
prohibiting the fertilization OF the
canal, he offered the following state
ment OF the reason that led him and
Lord Pauncefote to omit that prohibi
tion from the new treaty:
~The whole theory Of the treaty ~
that the canal is to be an entirely
American canal The enormous cost
of construction Is to be borne by the
United States alone. When con
structed. it is to be exclusively the
property Of the United States and Is
to be managed, controlled and de-
Tended by II. Under these circum =
stances and considering that now by
the new treaty Great Britain Is re-
neved Of all the responsibility and
burden and of maintaining its neu-
trality and security, ii was thought
entirely fair to omit the prohibition
that no fortification shall be ereteed

adjacent"
