WEATHER And RIVER
Thick Fog Last Night and Early
This Morning Interfered With
Navigation-Ice Disappearing

The mild temperature of yesterday
soon obliterated the snowfall of last
Saturday night, and late in the day
a dense fog hung over this city and
vicinity. The steamer Northland, of
the Norfolk line, left here last night
about on time, but it is supposed she
anchored after proceeding some DIS
tance down the river. The South
land, due at this port at six o'clock
in the morning, did not arrive until
1:3O p. m. today, having been de-
layed by fog.
The steamer Majestic, of the Ches-
apeake and Potomac Steamboat Corr
pany, which generally leaves this
port for the lower river landings
between five and six o'clock in the
evening, did not leave until this
morning.
There is still some floating ice in
the river, but it does not impede navi-
cation.
The winter of 1866 and 1867 was
extremely severe in this part Of the
country, with exceptionally cold
weather. The result was that the
Potomac river and its affluents were
frozen during the greater part OF
the season. The Gazette as was
stated in last Sundays Washington
Star, said:
"The harbor and river still remain
closed and the zee is apparently get
ting stronger. Heavily loaded wag-
ons daily cross the Potomac from the
Virginia shore to Georgetown and at
all the upper fords of the river; Deco
guam creek has been used for road
bed between this city and Fredericks-
burg for nearly three weeks. The
Potomac has now been closed for four
weeks"
Weather prophets" last fall told
us We were to have an exceedingly
cold winter Half of the frig:d sea-
son has passed away, and, so far,
there has been nothing beyond what
might have been expected at this
season. But the most severe bliz-
yards of recent years have struck
tbs section about the middle of Feb
ruary, notably that of 1899. The
blizzard of 1883, which caused the
death of Roscoe Conkling. arrived in
the middle Of March.

owing to the freezing of the canals

system. Traffic mas been suspended
entirely in the central canal. by which
coal S transported from Monceau-
Les Mines. and the barges are I'M
prisoned in ice. Floating :ce is be-
g:nning to appear in the lower Siene
river itself. Several deaths from
cold have been reported in Paris.

Before Going South.


The naval board which will inspect
suggested sites for the $11 1,OOO,OOO
armor-plate plant probably will leave
Washington late this week for Their
first investigation tour, which VII
take them& into West Virginia and
western Maryland. Rear Admiral
Fletcher, head of the board, reported
to Secretary Daniels yesterday that
tentative plans for, trip first into
Alabama and Georgia had been
changed because the members want
to await an analysis of ores in the
Alabama district before looking over
the proposed sites in that section.
After the trip through West Vir-
g.nia and Maryland, the board prob
ably will tour Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia, and later will inspect
suggested locations in the Ohio val
lev and middle west The claims OF
each section will be carefully sifted
before those of another section are
taken up, with the board spending
several days in Washington between
trips to digest the data gathered.

APPLIES FOR NANDANUSPEACE Minus VICTORY
Germany Offers to Restore Belgium.
Serbia and Roumania, But Claims
70 Have Won the Present War.

Amsterdam, Jan. 3O.-GermanE
and her allies are ready to conclude
"peace without victory But in
concluding it. she would have the
world understand that she views
this now famous term strictly in the
sense pointed out by President Will
son in his Senate speech-and only
n that sense.
This, it is learned on high author
ity, VII be the sum and substance OF
the new note which Germany, accord
,ng to strong reports, is planning to
send to the United States.
What the central powers will sub
stantially say to the world in re-
sponse to the Presidents address, IS
this:
1--WE do not propose to force vic
tory upon the loser.
Nor do we intend TO impose
v.,ctor's terms upon the vanquished."
They will not use the words Closer
and "vanquished."
They will insist, however, without
usnr these terms, that on the battle
field they are the victors and that.
therefore, TO offer the hand of peace
again after the blunt rebuffs hurled
at them by the entente, they are not
act ,ng from fear or weakness, but
from the previously emphasized ar
dent desire to bring peace to the
world and save Europe from utter
ruin. They Will assert if there is TO
he peace without victory" this and
this alone IS the time to conclude 1t.
The peace that Mr. Wilson has pro-
posed, they will. say, is possible only
now when ne 'ther side is crushed.
They will state that they are vic
torious on al! fronts in their struggle
against gigantic plan to crush
them: that they have attained the
only aim they had in this war--to
defend their existence.
They vi outline, ina general way.
similar to that of the entente note
to President Wilson. their peace
terms and VII emphasize that the
terms entail no humiliation, no du-
rcss, no intolerable sacrifice; would
leave no sting, no resentment, no
bitter memory.
The guiding keynote of the mess
age. t is said, will be:
I'VE are not crushed and never
will be. We have not crushed our
fees. The time to make peace Is
now. We are ready"
The note is expected to reveal the
central powers readiness to give up
Relp'um ard northern France, to re-
establish Serbia and Roumanla. as
independent Kingdoms along racial
Ines.
Beyond these main points every
thing regarding the reported new
note is gucsswork..
The authenticity Of these points
however. is vouched for By an aDSo-
lutely reliable source.
Tonight all indications are that
this document will be on the way t"
Washington within the next 4S hours.
