ASIDE FROM CONSIDERING, JIT NEY ORDINANCE THE CTTY FATHERS LET CONTRACTS FOR WATER EXTENSIONS AND LIS TENED TO PAVING PROTEST. The city fathers had quite a busy session this morning. In fact there was so much to do that it was seen early in the game that the work could not be finished today and an adjourn ment was taken after 12 o'clock to tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Among other things transacted the commissioners let contracts for the construction of water main extensions on Second avenue south between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, on Fourteenth street south between First and Second avenues, on hird street north fiom N.'P. to Third avenues, on Sixth avenue south from Fourteenth to Fifteenth atreets and on Fifteenth street south from Fourth to Fifth avenues.

VESSELS TO LOAD WITH GRAIN Duluth, Minn., March 24.—Loading of lake vessels with grain at the Ameri can head of the lakes will be begun at once to relieve congestion Jr. the elevators, according to Captain John Monaghan. inspector of hulls for the port of Duluth.

"The work may be delayed a few days getting som4 boats placed. The ele vators are eager to start the work, as more room is needed for storage." Captain Monughan expects naviga tion to open earlier than usual this spring. The weather is unusually fav orable. The ice from Duluth to a short distance west of Grand Marais is unbroken and not piled up to a great extent. If the present conditions con tinue for a week the ice will be linneycombed and can then be broken easily. If a heavy storm should arise nuw and pile up the ice, it would take much longer to get it out of the way. Sotne seasons ice has been piled up thirty to forty feet high outside the Duluth harbor and has checked navi gation. Sleeping Car Employes.

Por quick results use Farm W«t Column* arK0 Forum •Vi-V SPECIAL FOR THURSDAY We can see no advantage in longee bandying technical terms over this situation. What the situation actually is admits of no doubt, and what Great Britain and France are determined to do is made sufficiently plain. Under the established rules of what is called international law there is no blockade and none could possibly be maintained against German ports unless the naval vessels employed in it are to present themselves as targets for German sub marines, which can by no possibility comply with the requirements of the rules established before these engines of destruction were invented. To con tend against this "war zone" by a for mal blockade, maintained under the "rules," would certainly be ineffective for its purpose and would only serve, the policy of the enemy. It would shut all commerce out, but it would not necessarily shut the enemy of the allies in. Germany's fleet is already bottled up, except for this pestilent submarine craft which recognizes no rules and cannot be watched and kept back. What Great Britain has set out to do, and plainly avows, is to sh/t out all commerce from Germany as a war measure in response to her adoption of the war zone for menacing all com merce that seeks English poits. Call ing it reprisal or blockai'%, or em bargo, or anything else which does not fit the case, or declaring that it is none of these, will make no difference. It is a stubborn fact to be faced, and there is no use in protesting against It as such. No doubt neutrals still have their rights in the commerce of the seas, and the rights of the United States are of the greatest consequence. It Is the duty of the government to be watchful of them and to insist upon the utmost consideration for all the just claims of its vessels and cargoes and their owners. If there were a formal block ade, and it could be effectively main tained. it would be still worse for Am erican commerce. Anv vessels that at tempted to "run" it could be conflscat ed or destroyed without redress, and any that sought to evade it with "enemy goods" to be landed at neutral ports but destined to belligerents, would be liable to the same fate. All suspected vessels would be subject to search. The "no blockade" now estab lished does not conform to the old rules. It is a new thing in naval war fare, as is the war zone infested with submarines preying upon any com merce that it can reach. Is it better or worse for neutral commerce than a formal blockade according to rule? Is it desirable that our government should protest against its existence so long as the war zone exists? Is it even desirable for neutrals that it should be abandaned unless the war zone itself is given up? It Is as easy to keep away from as would be a blockade, and it is quite as unlikely to be disregarded but if neu tral vessels should venture to disre gard both the menace of the war zone and the warning of the British policy, by whatever name it may be called, tiiey would not encounter the severe penalty that would be visited upon an attempt breach of blockade. There is little likelihood of serious trouble from attempts to reach German ports or to reach neutral ports with contraband goods destined directly for German markets, so long as the obstruction in British and French waters is maintain ed. It is with strictly neutral com merce that trouble is most likelv to arise. Our trade with Europe general ly and with countries which have regular communication with Europe will be of all the greater importance °k» ®cc°Unt of the obstruction with which the most direct and frequented routes will be best.

Journal of Commerce: Reports from Washington in regard to the response which the government is to make to the British order in council for the commercial isolation of Ger many, are probably based upon conjec ture or interferences from what has al ready been said. While Sir Edward Grey in his explanatory note uses the term "blockade" it does not appear in the order itself. It is certain that no formal blockade has been proclaimed and it is not likely that any will be but no doubt is left as to what Great Britain will do, fully supported by France, and that is the essential thing. It was made clear enough in the first official announcement. We are told from Washington that our government will take the ground that no blockade exists in the absence of a formal pro clamation, and that therefore the right of a belligerent in dealing with neutral vessels is limited to visit and search for contraband. Consequently it will protest against the proposed action and insist upon the right of neutral ves sels to reach German ports if they carry no contraband goods and to go freely to all neutral ports with cargoes which are not "destined" for belliger ents, subject to liability to search for ascertaining the facts, with all proper regard for mutual rights ajnd obliga tions.
