SNOWED IN.

Th« West Visited by One of the Worst Storms on Record.

THE FALL OF SNOW IS VERY HEAVY.

Trains Ar« Lost on the Kansas Prairie* nod Traffic In the Cities Suspended —Lots of Life Feared—Many

Cattle WUI Perish.

BLIZZARD IK THE WEST.

TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 12.—A blinding snowstorm prevailed here Sunday. The wind blew furiously, piling the snow in.graat drift! along the street. The Electric Railroad company abandoned Its east and west lines at noon, and It was with difficulty that oars were kept ID motion on lines running north and south.

Railroad trains are generally late, but no blockades have been reported. Trains are preceded by snow-plows. Reports at the railroad offices indicate that the storm is general. The storm, If it laatB long enough, will prove a blessing to the yvheat crop.

Passenger Trains "Lost."

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 12.—Signal Officer Conner declares that the bllsEard Is the worst experienced in this part of the oountry since the establishment of the signal office in this city. Incoming trains from the west on all roads are reported to be from four to twelve hours late, and some of them have been "lost" altogether. Dispatches from Oklahoma and the Indian territory Indicate that

the

o-

Buffering among the settlers will

be severe, as the snow Is accompanied by very cold winds, and at some points the thermometer is several degrees below sero. The loss of life, it is expected, will also be very great.

Oar lines in the city were compelled to abandon their business at 4 o'clock, being unable to keep the tracks sufficiently clear to permit the cars to run, and a long line of grips and coaches are stretched along the various lines in different parts of the oity. Only those who have to be out are In the streets, as it is almost an impossibility for pedestrians to get about -i

Manj Cattle Will Perish.1

EMPOBIA, Kan., Feb. 12.—The worst blizzard experienced here in years has been prevailing. Snow here is nearly S feet deep with no appearance of abating. Only one train has reached here from the east, and passenger and freights are reported blocked all along the lines. The storm prevails throughout the state. Many cattle will perish.

PABSONS, Kan., Feb. la—The worBt snowstorm that has prevailed in southeastern Kansas since the memorable storm of 1885 set in here at 1 o'clock Sunday morning and continued throughout the day, snow covering the ground to the depth of 8 inches. Advices received at headquarters of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad are to the effect that the storm prevails along the entire system of the road from points in Missouri to Texas. A strong wind has been prevalent and the snow Is drifting badly,

A General Blockade Feared. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 12.—A storm' has raged generally in the upper Missouri country, covering the entire territory between the river and the mountains. The wind is from the north, blowing almost a gale, accompanied by fine •now, which is drifted badly and packed hard. All outgoing railroad trains were abandoned Sunday night, and incoming are from two to six hours late. A general blockade Is feared. The nVercury is below zero. This will entail great suffering and probably extensive loss among cattle ranges. The wet snow of Friday covered all forage and this latter fall will make It Impossible for the cattle to obtain any food. fD Oklahoma.

HENNESST, O.. T., Feb. 12.—A terrible norther, never before experienced in this part of the country, reached here at 6 o'clock Sunday morning. Over a foot of mow has fallen on the level, and It has drifted In places 6 feet deep. Railroad traffic is entirely suspended. The blizzard came up very suddenly, and no doubt the poorly-sheltered settlers In the Cherokee strip will suffer greatly from exposure.

Texas Cattle In Danger of Starving. SAN ANGELO, .Tex., Feb. 12.—Bight hours the snow fell here Sunday, accompanied by a cold north wind, which has considerably alarmed stookmen. If the snow continues for any length of time the death percentage of stock will be large, as cattle in many localities are barely alive, with nothing to eat on the ranches

ANGRY AT THE QUEEN.

LiHunkalanl's Adherents Shocked by Minister ffillli1 Revelations. iloxoi.ui.tr, Feb. 8, via San Franolaco, Feb. 12.—An extremely violent sensation was produced In Honolulu among both parties by the disclosures made of the queen's attitude In Mr. Willis' dispatch No. 8. whioh was received, by late malls. Her desire to "behead" the leaders of the uprising against her was a severe Bhock to both parties. A similar feeling was produced by her insisting on December 10 on deporting the children of her enemies. The royalists are united in expressing condemnation of such extreme views and strong regret and disappointment that she should thus have responded to President Cleveland's request -for clemency. The Star at once denounced the royalists as "Dyoks" aud "head-hunters." The latter retorted on the annexationists various vindictive and violent expressions alleged to hare been by them, especially the alleged oonsplraoy last Jnly to assassinate the queen, Spreokles and iilount

Thinking men of both parties seem to be agreed that the extreme views officially expressed by the queen to Mr. Willis do not at all refleot the sentiments of either her native or foreign adherents. It is quite certain that their publication has made her extremely unpopular among her own party. Pure Hawaiian* especially have a strong dislike of sanguinary proceedings and are deeply displeased with the queen for insisting on such a thing. In'an Interview with a veiy intelligent royalist he said that these utterances of the queen had put her restoration entirely out of the question. He believed that a compromise might be hoped for on Kalulant
