Street and Steam Railway Traffic Is Badly Demoralized—The Gale at Chicago. CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—A blizzard of the most approved pattern, with snow, sleet and an energetic wind, swept down on Chicago Sunday night and has raged with constantly increasing vio lence. Great snowdrifts blocked the streets, suburban trains were delayed and snow sweepers were kept inces santly in use to prevent stoppage of the street car lines, traffic on which was badly delayed. The blizzard is the most severe that has visited Chicago for many years. •..:',.,..•• At noon the wind was blowing at the rate of 70 miles an hour, with indica tions that the storm would continue through the night, with the coldest weather of the year. All incoming trains were from an hour to two hours late, and the roads were becoming worse blocked all the time. Pedestrians Injured. The wind rushed around the down town corners with terrific force, carry ing pedestrians off their feet and injur* ing many. Jane Brahany was hurled against a fireplug at Dearborn and Van Buren streets and fatally injured. Many carriages on Michigan avenue, where the wind sweeps straight off the lake, were overturned. Lake Michigan was lashed into a fury, and the waves rushed over the breakwater and swept clear across the Illinois Central railroad track into Lake Front park. So severe was the storm that at the public schools only about one-third of the pupils were present. At many of the schools teachers were absent as well as scholars. At the Hammond school, but 85 pupils were present out of 900, and reports from other schools showed a similar condition. One of the large observation windows in the Leland hotel was blown in and several guests narrowly escaped injury by the falling glass. All of the mail trains coming into Chicago were se riously delayed. Several of the city de liveries were abandoned and the mail service generally demoralized. Tele phones and telegraph wires suffered se verely. Many wires were torn from their fastenings, poles were blown down and many crossed currents injured the service. Another Fatality. Charles Chash, driver of a bakery wagon, was probably fatally injured, the wind overturning his wagon on Eighty-second street. His leg was broken and he received internal injuries. Three men at the waterworks crib, four miles out in the lake, were brought face to face with death. The landing platform was smashed by the waves, which washed over the crib's structure, drenching the imprisoned men. The telephone line to the station was unin jured, and the men said that the build ing was being shaken frightfully in the wind'and waves. No boat could live in the storm, and no effort to rescue the men could be made. AT MILWAUKEE. A Wild Northeaster Sweeping the City From Lake Michigan. MILWAUKEE, Feb. 13.—A wild north east gale is sweeping over the city from Lak Michigan, and the air is full of penetrating and drifting snow. The electric lines manage to make slow progress, but if the storm continues there will probably be an embargo on travel. There is an immense sea on the lake— fully as vicious as that which engulfed about a dozen men on the waterworks crib last spring. Previous to the storm City Engineer Benzenberg consulted United States Weather Forecaster Moore in regard to the advisability of bringing in the men now at work upon the crib, and it was finally decided that they were in no danger. There are 20 men in the crib house at present, but it is thought that they are all right. Should the worst come and the crib house be swept away, they can enter the air lock, which is above the water level. No anxiety is felt for their safety. Advices from the interior of the state are to the effect that the storm is raging everywhere and that railway travel is considerably impeded. SUSPENDED OPERATIONS. The Blizzard at Kansas City Has Abated. Broke All Records. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 13.—After contin uing for 24 hours and breaking all records recorded by the local weather bureau, the blizzard suspended opera tions at 10 a. m., so far as the snow ac companiment is concerned. A brisk wind still blows from the north, and though the mercury is not low, being 14 degrees above zero, the indications are for much colder weather. The snow lies 16 inches on the level, gnd is badly drifted. All street car traffic is su. .ended. All trains both from the east and west are greatly de layed. In the State of Kansas the storm was similar to that in the city, and was fully as energetic. The heaviest fall of snow occurred in the eastern portion of the state, and the lightest fall in the west. In the eastern portion the snow lies from 12 to 16 inches deep, while in the western portion the depth is from 7 to 12 inches. Street car and railroad travel is almost suspended throughout the state. Passenger trains between Hutch inson aieenowednp for the.first time in 18 yean.. A like state of affairs prevails on the Santa Fe and the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas at many places in the state, --.« ."i* GOING EAST. he Blizzard Sweeps Over Ohio and Indiana. FOKT WAYNE, Ind., Feb. 13.—A gen uine blizzard with all its varieties broke loose here at 10 o'clock p. m. and still rages with unabated fury. Street rail way traffic is entirely suspended, and all railways leading into the city are greatly interrupted. Bad at Col ambus, Ohio. COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 13.—A severe sleet storm prevails here. The wires are covered with ice, giving considera ble trouble and causing street cars to run slower than usual. Very Severe at Cleveland, Ohio. CLEVELAND, Feb. 18.—The blizzard which raged with such severity through out the West during the night, reached this city at 7 o'clock a. m. A fierce gale accompanied by a heavy fall of fine, cutting snow, is in progress and the storm promises to be a most severe one. At noon the street car service was ae moralized, only an occasional car man* aging to get through the heavy snow drifts. Cattle Endangered. ST. Louis, Feb. 13.—A special to The Post Dispatch from Emporia, Kan., says: -The worst storm ever known here has raged for 24 hours.^. Not lessobviates than two feet, of snow, has fallen, and it has drifted so that in places it is 20 feet deep. Railroad traffic is stopped, trains being snowed in at numerous points. Thousands of head of cattle are en dangered, and a great portion of them will die of cold and lack of food. Wheat raisers see agleam of hope, in that the snow covers their crops and protects them. THE BLACK BOAT Which Has Figured in Many Robberies Captured by the Authorities at Rye. N EW YORK, Feb. 13.—The black boat which has figured so prominently in the many robberies along the shores of the sound is at last in the grasp of the au thorities at Rye. So is one of her crew and a large amount of plunder. The boat first began to be heard of early last summer. Those who saw her described her as a sloop of about 20 tons. Her hull was painted black and she carried more sail than most Loats of her size and rig. There were usually seven or eight men on her, and when seen she was usually drifting slowly along. Once or twice attempts were made to overtake her to obtain a closer view, but the crew would hoist sail and slip away from any sailing craft. Stories about the boat came from al most every point from City Island east to New London, Rye, Portchester and the other villages in Westchester re ported the doings of her crew. Then she would be heard from along the Con necticut shores. First at Saybrook, then at Stamford, then back to New London, then at some other point. Sunday night the black sloop anchored off Milton's Point at Rye. A boat with two men in it went ashore, and after hauling the rowboat up on the beach, they went to the depot. They had two bags and on reaching the depot shipped them for New York. Then they disap peared. Some men and toys living at Milton's Point, became curious about the strange craft, and put off to investi gate. There was a varied lot of stuff aboard, which would have stocked a fair sized country store. This was re ported to the local police, who at once started to find the men. One of them was taken into custody. The other had started for New York. The two bags of stuff were seized by the police acting under orders from Justice Barusch. The bags were found to con tain boots and shoes, clothing, spools of cotton and silk, and many such articles. These correspond with the goods stolen from Fort Salonga. The prisoner prom ised to make a full confession. He ad mits that the craft is the one which has been seen so often along the coast. Minnesota Y. M. C. A. Convention. MANKATO, Minn., Feb. 13.—The last three days of this week the annual state convention of the Y. M. C. A. is to be held here. Among the services already planned are an opening reception at the Mankato Commercial college, at which the opening address of the convention will be delivered by Dr. A. N. Carson of St. Paul Bible studies each day of the session by J. R. Pratt, the evangel ist an address by S. A. Taggart, the international secretary, and one by C. K. Ober, secretary of the international committee, and a "college conference" Saturday afternoon. New Set of Flags For Naveslnk. N EW YORK, Feb. 13.—The members of the New York chamber of commerce and other patriotic citizens commemor ated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln by presenting the committee in charge with the funds for a new set of flags for the national liberty pole at the Navesink Highlands, and to relieve the Colum bian liberty bell of the balance of its debt.

STILLWATER, Minis., Feb. 13.—Five woodsmen were killed in camps owned by loggers last week, a larger number of fatalities than ever before known in any one week. A very large percentage of accidents and fatalities is caused by carelessness on the part of employes. Bibs All Broken. WINONA, Minn., Feb. 13.—Ira C. Brainard, a switchman employed in the yards of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, was so severely injured by falling from a moving freight car that it is thought that Joe car&ot .survive, His back was sprained and almost every rib in his body was broken.^** *s&T?*' COIN SEIGNI0EAGE. Mr. Bland Will Amend His Bill to Meet the Objections of Secre tary Carlisle. It Is Said That There Will Then Be No Doubt as to Its Passage by the House. Senate Judiciary Committee to Report the Peckham Nomination With out Recommendation. WASHINGTON, Feb. lo.—A new turn was given to the silver discussion in the house by Mr. Bland's announcement that he would move to amend, at a later day, the pending bill so that silver certificates would be issued only as fast as silver dollars were coined, with the added authority to the secretary of the treasury to issue the certificates in ad vance of the coinage if he so desired. This change is desired to overcome one of the main objections of Secretary Car lisle to the bill. This objection is shared by many members of the house to such an extent that the passage of the seigniorage bill was in doubt. The change now proposed by Mr. Bland the objections so that the pas sage of the seigniorage bill is regarded as certain. CONGRESSIONAL. The House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—This was Dis trict of Columbia day in the house. At the request of Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, Saturday, March 3, at 2 p. m., was set aside for paying tribute to the mem ory of the late Representative Enoch of Ohio.

Mr. Kilgore objected. On motion of Mr. Perkins of Iowa, a bill authorizing the extension of time for the construction of the high wagon bridge across the Missouri river at Sioux City, was passed. The Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—A petition signed by 30,000 wool growers of the United States, owning 6,000,000, or one seventh of all the sheep in the United States, protesting against the free wool clause of the tariff bill, was presented by Senator Cullom of Illinois. Among the petitioners were the Navajo tribes, who own 1,500,000 sheep, and are pros perous by this industry. Senator Cul lom said he hoped the committee on finance would give this petition due* consideration, as it was of an extraordi nary character, and represented an ex tensive industry.

Young against Colonel William M. '5-raham, commander of the forces of Pr3sidio, adjoining this city, and the arrest of Colonel Young, under ordt:s of Colonel Graham has caused a furore among army men here and prom ises a sensation such HS the United States army has not had l^-many years. The exact nature of the charges made by Young against Graham cannot be ascertained, but it is common report that Tyrannical and Capricious Conduct toward his inferiors is charged. Though Colonel Young is confined to his quar ters under arrest, the same secrecy is maintained as to the charges against him. It is believed, however, that he will be charged with conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. At Presidio no one dares to talk, but it is apparent that the sympa thy of officers and men is with Colonel Young. In an interview in The Call a high army officer, whose name is with held, says: "It Is a Grand Climax that had to come sooner or later. If Colonel Young had not taken it up some one. else would. "The commanding officer at this post, since, assuming-his. charge, has. been, despotic. Ninety per cent of the officers at this post will testify, and gladly, to Colonel Graham's tyrannical, overbear ing, .suspicious and captious manner. No one will deny his integrity and brav ery, but in all, since he has been here, he has been a tyrant. I do not know the specific charges brought by Colonel Young, but, generally speaking, they are for rude and ungentlemanly conduct toward him. The Outcome Uncertain. What the outcome will be no one can tell. I know that Colonel Young courts trial that he may vindicate himself of any charges that may be brought against him. He has an untarnished record of 30 years service, and it is lamentable that he should now be sub jected to humiliation. If this trouble had been between two captains it would be summarily disposed of, but the higher the officials the greater the scandal and expense of trial. It costs money to try such cases, and if they are tried a jury of their superior officers oannot enforce a sentence. That power is vested with the president of the United States, and unless in cases of a very se rious character the matter is never taken that far. It is stated that General Ruger has not yet received a copy of the charges brought by Colonel Graham against the officer under arrest, Colonel Young. THEY WER E RELEASED. Threats of Minister Terrell Accomplish the Liberation of American Citizens. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 13.—United States Minister Alex W. Terrell, after taking a vigorous stand in the matter and threatening to ask the United States government to send one or more war ships to Iskanderum, Northern Syria, has succeeded in obtaining the release of one of two Armenians, naturalized Americans, who have been imprisoned there for some time. Minister Terrell was only informed of the arrest of the two naturalized Ameri cans after they were in prison for about two months, and he immediately de manded their liberation. The porte contended that they were Turkish sub jects, and announced its determination to maintain its right to keep them in prison pending their trial for high treason. The United States minister replied that if they were not released within a given time he would ask the United States government to send two warships to Iskanderum, with instructions to compel the authorities to release them. COLONNA'S SCHEME. The Princess Says He Had Planned to Steal One of Her Children. N E W YORK, Feb. J8.—Mr. J. W. Mackay, Jr., was seen by an Associated Press representative and said that he was authorized to make public the fol lowing statement which was written and signed by the Princess Colonna: "I authorize you to state that my sud den decision to leave France and come to America was due solely to a plot which I discovered that Prince de Gala tro Colonna, my husband, had formed to steal one of my children from me as a hostage, individuals having been em ployed by him to that effect, as well as to closely watch my movements." Mr. Mackay said he had nothing further to say in reference to the matter and that the princess had no plans for the future. An Educator Dead. ST.
