Little More Stone Can Be Brought
for Building Sea Wall.

Deliveries Of stone to be used in the
construction of the sea wall along the
Georgetown channel on the Virginia side
above the Highway bridge are about over
for the season, ice having made in Deco
guam creek. whence the stone comes.
thick enough to give lighters trouble in
towing through it.
The tug Carter of the Taylor feet
brought up a lighter laden with stone
Friday night. and the crew of the boat
report having had to break ice over half
an inch thick to get the lighter out
While it is possible that another lighter
loaded with stone may be brought here
this year. it is more than probable that
the one brought in Friday night Will be
the last to arrive until next spring.
Since the commencement of the work
on the wall. early in the spring, nearly a
mile Of it has been constructed. but sew
eral hundred yards yet remain to be
done before the wall is brought to the
Highway bridge, where it is to end.

DEMOCRACY TO END WAR.
Martin w. Littleton Makes Predic.
ton in London Speech.

LONDON, December 1.-the problem
of democracy formed the subject of a
striking speech by Representative Martin
w. Littleton of New York. who was
guest yesterday of the American Luncheon
Club at the Savoy.
Mr.. Littleton has been in close touch
with the statesmen of England and
France since he arrived in Europe and
was well informed on his subject. The
gist of the speech was that when democ-
racy had come wholly into its own war
would be banished and the millennium or
something approaching it would have ar
rived Meantime, he said, 1t was up to
England and America Ito set high upon
a hill light which will safely and surely
guide the footsteps Of an advancing
world"

Christmas green's. poultry and the like
will now start coming from down river
to this city, and the steamers for week
or ten days before Christmas will look
like boats Of evergreen, SO high will the
pine and cedar trees and the crates or
holly and mistletoe be pied upon them.
The business that taxes the powers or
the steamboat men comes the two or
three trips just before Christmas day,
when the shipments of packages contain
ing remembrances are being carried. 1t
is not at all uncommon for the river
steamers to have from 500 to 600 small
boxes and bundles on the manifest OF
freight, both going and coming. from the
down-river landings and to handle these
packages without delay is the problem
the local steamboat men have to face
each Christmas season.
