river la out of Ita banks all along Ita course.
With little prospect of the Ice gorge
break Ins; here for several days and a gorge
reported near BprtntrnMd which may break
any minute, conditions are pretty serious.
The river has fallen eighteen Inches this
afternoon, due probably to the gorge farther
West. The prospects for warmer weather
ars good and under a hot sun for two days
the gorge might go out. The Ice Is plied

FLATTBMOUTH. Feb. IS (Special.)
Tbs large gorge of Ice which formed In the
Platte river broke loose Saturday night
and the rushing torrents washed out one
pan of the Missouri Pacific bridge- across
the stream at Oreapolia and much of
the track on the north side of the river.
Tha Burlington also had much of Its track
north of Its "bridge damaged. All trains
over both roads between Omaha and this
city were annulled Sunday. The tracks
north of tha bridges are covered with huge
chunka of fce for a long distance, but the
Burlington tridge was not injured. The
mall from Omaha arrived about 11 o'clock
Sunday via Council Bluffs and Pacific
Junction. A pile driver and a large num
ber of men have been repairing the tracks
and the Burlington resumed the running of j
trains today. Bottom land on each side of
the river la overflowed, but no damage to
stock or of any other kind has been re

Tha Platte rose fast during the. night and
at noon today waa within two feet of the

and most of the people who moved back

were delayed there and at 1 a. m. Tuesday I
had not passed, although the water waa
reported going down.
The L'nion Pacific had been using
Its own tracks to the west since Sunday
morning and the water had subsided from
the Burlington tracks near Orea polls, so
that road could be used. The Burlington
had been handling thirty-five passenger
trains a day between Omaha and Lincoln
for three days besides all Ita own freight
trains and those of the Union Pacific and
Rock Island which It was able to handle.
The Union Pacific fplght trains were
limited by the number of extra Burlington
men who could be secured aa pilots for the
foreign trains running over the road. The
law provides In cases of that kind the
foreign road shall run Its own engines
and crew, but the line used must furnish
a pilot to ride on the engine. The distance
Is about ISO miles to Grand Island, so the
Union Pacific was paying Jl.wVj a day for
mileage on Its passenger trains, besides
the cost of the pilot and the expense on
the freight and stock trains.
Monday waa cooler and the railroads
thought the water would now subside. Re
ports from Vermilion. S. D.. show the
water the highest there It has been for
years.
The bad condition of the tracks on the
Union Pacific between Omaha & Grand
Island Saturday, causing a crowded condi
tion on the Burlington, was all that kept
the Union Pacific from trying for a record
ran from Lb ramie to Chicago. A woman
got off the Overland Limited as it waa
standing at the station at Cheyenne Satur
day and went Into the station to send a
telegram. When she returned s a absent
mindedly got on the westbound train, which
was standing In the yards, and did not no
tice her mistake until too rar out to stop
the train. When she reached Laramie she
asked the officials for a special train to
get her to Chicago by Sunday evening at
i o'clock. Tha matter waa taken up with
Omaha, but It waa decided the run could
not be made because of the shattered con
dition of the service due to the high water.
The woman did not offer a reason for want
ing to get to Chicago, but was willing to
pay the price.
No official record of the condition of the
Missouri river at pmnha and vicinity is
made by the weal(er bureau before March
1. Consequently no offlctn.1 mui sure merits
have been made up to this time. The Ice

schools of San Francisco, under eerta'n
restrictions; skilled and unskilled laborers
coming from Japan barred from the main
land of the United States, at.d American
laborers, . skilled and unskilled, are to be
excluded from Japan,
This Is the basis of the agreement be
tween President Roosevelt. Secretary Root,
Mayor Srhmlts and the San Fnnrlsco
Board of Education aa an adjustment of
the anti-Japanese agitation brought about
by the segregation of Japanese children In
the San Francisco schools. The agreement
means the schools of San Francisco will be
conducted n the same manner as they
were before the Board of Education adopted
the resolutions last October providing filfc
the segregation of the Japanese, excert
that adult Japanese who are In primary
gradea must continue lo attend the oriental
schools and that Japanese children tinder

children of thelrsnwn ages.
While the resolution of the Board of
Education, as amended, reads "children of
alien birth." it Is freely admitted by Mayor
Schmlti and his associates that the resolu
tion will apply only to the Japanere chil
dren and that the change In the wording
was to make It plain to the Tokio govern
ment that no discrimination was Intended
against Japanese children.

Assistant City Attorney Williams of San
Francisco, who has acted as legal advisor
to Mayor Schmlts and the Board of Educa
tion since negotiations have been pending,
said tonight:
"To understand the exact meaning of the
statement given out by Mayor Schmlti
tonight It will be necessary to read between
the lines. The only concession we have
made Is to admit Japanese children to the
white schools, while In return the adminis
tration has 'brought about the exclusion
of Japanese laborers from this country."
Mayor Schmlts said:
"This Is only a temporary agreement.
President Roosevelt has given us direct
and positive assurances that he will at once
begin negotiations with Japan for the pur
pose of bringing about a new treaty that
will exclude Japanese laborers, skilled or
unskilled, from continental United States "
Shortly before midnight the following

Mayor Schmltx' statement of ths! agree
ment follows:
We find that the administration and con
gress are entirely alive to the situation in
California, and anxious to meet the wishes
of the Callfornlars. They are also de
sirous of keeping on the best possible terms
with japan, and or aoing notning wnicn
may break the ancient friendship between
that country and the United States. It has
been explained to us that the form of ac
tion taken by the school board of San Fran
cisco tn relation to the Japanese school
children has been completely misunderstood
and misconstrued as an attack upon the
Japanese as such, and that this misunder
standing and misconstruction has been and
now Is one of the chief obstacles to achiev
ing the purpose California really has In
view, this purpose being to secure by hon
orable and amicable agreement with Japan
the mutual exclusion from the two coun
tries of the laborers, skilled and unskilled
of each country. This earnest desire of the
people of California, and we may add In
our belief of the people of the entire Pad He
coast, to check the coming of Japanese
laborers and our entire willingness and de
sire that Japan should similarly put a stop
to the going of American laborers, skilled
and unskilled, to Japan, springs from no
motive other than to bring about com
mercial and Industrial conditions to the
satisfactory understanding of the two
, friendly nations.

"I feel." said Mr. DeArmond. "that the
place Is one which no man should seek for
the purpose of advancing himself and for
selfish motives of any sort. Party inter

should be selected I will scoept the place.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. After more
than five hours' consideration of the agri
cultural bill today, the senate . Increased
from S3.5O0 ts t&.OUO the salary of Gtfford
Pi nc hot, chief of tha Bureau of Forestry.
The debate was devoted mostly to the
methods of administration and general pol
icy of the forest servic and at times
broadened to Include th public land ques
tion generally. Practically no progress
was made on the agricultural bill.
The provision authorising tb accumula
tion of th revenues from th grasing
i leases ss s special fund to be administered
by the forest service was opposed by Mr.
Hemenway of Indiana, who said the de
partments called this method "short cir
cuiting congress."
"Congress at this session." h said,
"would appropriate mora than fl.OOO.OOO.GOO,
which means, as I am told by th senator
from Main (Mr. Hale), s deficit for next
year."
Mr. Flint of California, mad an elab
orat defense of th forestry service. H
said the service would be self-sustaining
after a few more years.
