the next two.

SNOW IS TO DISAPPEAR

That all of Washington's slush and ice
will disappear before colder weather sets
in was the prediction of weather bureau
officials today. Fair weather tonight. with
slowly rising temperature. is the official
forecast.
Tomorrow it will be warmer and cloudy.
1t may rain tomorrow afternoon. which,
officials say. would remove the last vestige
of caked ice and slush which has been on
the streets since the first heavy fall of
snow, more than two weeks ago. Light,
variable winds tomorrow will assist in
keeping the temperature up, it was said.
Similar weather conditions will prevail
over adjacent states and rising tempera-
lures will be felt in some Of the eastern
states which have been gripped by the
recent cold wave.

Warmer Weather Fails
to Have Effect on Ice,
Which Blocks the River

Beyond melting the snow which COW
cred the ice on the river the warmer
weather has made no marked differ
ence in ice conditions on the Potomac
This morning the ice in the harbor and
nnder the railroad bridges was as hard
as it has been any time during the
winter It will require several days of
ahoye-freezing temperature like that of
Yesterday to soften the ice sufficiently
to break it up, and even with these
conditions it will be ten days before
navigation can be resumed in tie
creeks, which are covered with ice
from fourteen to twenty-five inches in
thickness.
while the rivefmen refuse to express
an opinion as to whether the spring
thaw has come. they are hopeful that
the hard freeze is over. Should the
thaw be a quick one there is a possi-
bility of the ice coming down from the
iupper river with a rush and causing
trouble here. 1t is stated. however.
there is no danger of flood like that
of June 1889, when the water backed
up in the sewers and flooded the city.
The outlets of the sewers are now pro-
vided with gates that would hold back
the water and prevent such food.
