bore duty in this city. Senor Montt, the Chilian minister, when asKed to-night concerning the report that the British government would step in and ofler to act as mediator between the United States and Chili, said that be was not aware of tho do incs of the British government. Secretary Tracy said to-night that there ? as no truth in the printed report that Admirals Gherardi and Walker had been ordered to Chili. The Post will say to-morrow: At a dindfr given by Jlonrke Cockran to Senator Hill, at which about a dozen leading Democratic Congressmen were present, nearly all tho conversation turned upon tho prospects of war end at times it developed into stirring debates. The Southern members declared themselves for war and said that should It take rlace the onth would uphold tho President's hand to the fullest extent, and from no other section woald the government receive such support as front thattouth of Mason and Dixon's tlino. To this Congressman Coombs, of Brooklyn, replied that, at any cost of dignity, this country should make no attempt to crush a littlo republic that was now in a state of anarchy. The differences of opinion, considering the localities from which the debaters came, were very interesting, bat the majority of the little gathering was decidedly for war. VIEWS OF CONGRESSMEN. reffer anl Kyle Want No War -with Chill The Talk About Mediation. WASniXGTOx, Jan. 19. There was a lull in tho talk to-day with reference to tho Chilian matter on the House side of the CapitoL The disposition wai to await the receipt of the President's message before endeavoring to form any de ided opinions on the subject. The feeling tpresscd was nearly all on the side of disbelief in war as the probable outcome of the trouble. Members could not say just in what way they expected the trouble to pass away, but there was general concurrence of opinion that it would do so in some manner or other. A number of Democratic Representatives who were talked with deprecated a war with so small a nation as Chili, and said tho United States is large and strong enough to afford to overlook a great many things rather than proceed to extremities. Chili, ' they said, had only three millions of people to our sixty millions, and they were, as ' a whole, poor, only partly civilized, and without a strong government. During the afternoon a report was in circulation that the situation had assumed a slightly more pacific aspect. Jt was rumored that Great Britain had intervened, and ofiered her good offices to bring about a peaceful adjustment of the relations between the two countries. No ollicial conJirmatiou of this rumor could be obtained by members of Congress, but it found credence with many from the fact that it bad been anticipated, that an amicable arrangement might be reached through the friendly interposition of some third nation, and Great Britain, with Ler vast material interests-in Chili, was looked upon as most likely to be the intervening power. A difference of opinion was manifested as to whether or not the United States ought to accept tho mediation of any third party without an expression from Chili of regret at the lawless acts of her citizens and disavowal of ollicial connection or sympathy with them. Many members thought that, in view of Chili's comparatively small size, this government need not be at all rigorous In its requirements. One member said that the United States ought not to accept mediation without first receiving an apology from Chili, and that he did not believe President Harrison was willing to do so. Somo anxiety is felt "by the member at tho delay, and ho is anxious that if trouble is to occur it should take place before the Captain Prat. Chili's formidable war vessel, now building in France, can be turned over to Chili. It is the knowledge of the fact that the Prat is nearing completion which makes the members from some v( the sea-board cities anxious that tho President's message to Congress should soon be forthcoming, or trouble is to be feared. While the talk to-day was favorablo to peace, many Democratic members said plainly that it lighting did come they were m favor of pushing the war vigorously and relentlessly, omitting no measure to trive Chili a severe ' lesson. Should the President recommend Congress to declaro war aaamst Chili tho vote of Congress would bo one of themost emphatic atlirmatives ever recorded in the Capitol. But there would be a minority, and there tho , maker of history will find the two more prominent Alliance Senators Kylo nud Petler. What Senator Irby would say wero he hero is not known to tho reporter who conversed with Senators Kyle and PefTr on the interesting topic of probable strife. ALLIANCE MEN NOT FIGHTERS. "The sentiment of the people I represent," said Mr. Kyle, "is against any war with Chili. Such a contest would be a national disgrace. The bare idea of going' to war with a country smaller than one of our States is criminally ludicrous. To tho civilized world it would seem as though a big six-footer wasattackinga little newsboy. The United States can't afford to pose as a bully, but it can nfiord to wait. Jf we are patient 1 think some things favorable to a peaceful settlement of the difficulty will develop; the temporarily opaque sitnation must surely dissolve and Its component parts will then bo visible. "Wo should not allow ourselves to bo insuited, but under no circumstances ought we to be hasty." "War with Chili would be an absurdity, an inexcusable folly," said Senator Petler. "It is something not to be seriously thought of by sensible peopie. 1 uni opposed to war eo long as other means of settlement are available. To be sure there is somo war leeling throughout tho country, but that is sot strange, nor is it nationally creditable. A perverted doctriue of patriotism is responsible for this. Theideathat thetroublo at Valparaiso constitutes cause for war springs from a mistaken sense of honor. A jot of our sailors. mod of them' probably intoxicated, became parties to a brawl, aod because two or three of them were killed we must bring abont an enormous expense and'4-the death of many moro of our people. The proposition is perfect foolishness. Let the President and the State Department handle the matter cautiously and with proper deliberation, and. in tho course of time. I believe we could arrive at an international understanding. Later we would ak for indemnity, and it seems to me that any reasonable request for iinancial reparation to the families of the men killed would be favorably responded to. The statement that sixty millions of people, tho biggest, richest and most prosperous Nation on earth, should entertain the idea of war with a little country liko Chili is an absurdity. We know better, and our knowledge should be apparent in our actions. J,et us set tho little fellows a good example." Throughout the corridors of the Houso wing this morning tho employes, some of thum old soldiers of the rebellion, engaged Jn earnest argument over the prospect of war with Chili. This was also the topio of conversation in the press gallery and among the many spectators who occupied the public galleries, in his prayer, the Chaplain, alter his opening invocation, said: "Inspire, uphold and diroct thv honored servant, the President of the United States, his constitutional advisers and members of the two houses of Congress in this solemn crisis of our history. Let all that shall be advised, decided upon and dono be for the safety, honor, disnity and welfaroof the Nation, in the spirit of jnstice and conciliation to all other nations, and have the sanction and blessing of the Prince of the kings of the earth." The Senate Chaplain thanked heaven for peace, and prayed that peace may be preserved to this Nation and to tho great family of nations. AT aiAItD ISLAND.

Xlxtra Forces of Machinists Working Night tod Day on War Ship. San Francisco, Jan. 19. E Moris' to prepare the war fchips at Maro Island for sea service were redoubled to-day and by far the largest force of men since the close of the war of the rebellion are now working day and night. Electric-light plants have Lees set up, enabling tho men to work in the docks at night, without cessation; and a largo force of outside machinists was put to work to complete tho wooden fleet as trail aa the steel cruisers. The force in the

steam engineering department was also largely increased this morning and tbcro is a desire to accomplish as much workas possible in the short time. The wooden nhips Adams, Hanger and Nipsio nave been asked for by the Navy Department. The Mohican is ready and can leave the yard at any time, having her crew and stores on board. Naval ollicials refuse to discuss matters concerning what is likely to be done. The Charleston is on her way here from San Diego and will go tp dock at once. Her hull will be cleanedand every attention paid to her machinery. A large increase is expected in the yards and dock force so as to get her out of dock as soon as possible. Tho Baltimore is in the stream and a force of workmen is on board. The delay in the case ot the Baltimore Is due to the fact that her steam condensing tubes hail .becomo clogged and it was deemed imperative to have these cleaned, which requires twenty days, but will be shortened to ten days. Inside of a month the yard can be cleared of all the vessels now here, in case tho present force remain on duty. The orders concerning repairs to the Kipsic are considered surprising, in view of tho fact that she was to have done duty at the new navy-yard at Port Orchard. The general belief existing is that the government intends no delay to any vessel at the yard. A rumor gained circulation to-day that the crew of thoAlbatrots was likely to be transferred to tho Monitor Comanche. Although many believed the statement at first it was found to have no foundation. bamnolt Spring, a pay clerk, died at the naval hospital last night. Charges of having extorted a portion of their salary from the workmen under him, it is stated, have been made in writing against Charles Phelps, foreman ship-titter in the construction department at Mare island navy-yard, by Joseph Watson, a former employe, and tho matter has boen submitted to the Navy Department at Washington by Admiral Irwin, commandant of tho navy-vard. The tax on workmen is reported to have ranged from 43 cents to 51 a day, according to the wages the mechanic received. Judge Advocate-general Remey, who has been conducting tho Baltimore inquiry here, left to-day for Washington. Probably Hear" Canard. London, Jan. 19. Large sales of American railroad securities at low prices took place this afternoon on the Stock Exchange, owing to a report that tho Chilians

I had fired upon tho United States steamer lorktown. Chilian securities lost 1U. The street dealings showed a firmer tone when it became known that Secretary Tracy and other United States authorities knew nothing of the matter, and the report could be continued from no source at all. Iowa Can Raise 20,000 Men. Dns Moines, la., Jan. 19. Adjutantgeneral George Greene has received reliable advices from Washington to the effect that a communication is on the waylo Governor lloies from the War Department asking the number and equipment of Iowa militia available for immediate service. Twenty-six thousand men can be mobilized at Des Moines within twenty-four hours. IX DARKEST AFRICA. Tribulations of an American Bnrnt-Cork Artist Who Headed a Minstrel Show. New Youk, Jan. 19. Away down in Africa the most popular song this season is "Comrades. " At least that is what A. J. Talbott says, and he ought to know, for it cost the minstrel show of which he was the head just 819,003 to find oat. Luscombe Searollo last summer engaged Mr. Talbott to take a minstrel show through the various African show towns. It struck Mr. Searello that a band of burnt-cork artists would appeal to the theater-going public, so intimately are they acquainted with the real article, lint the Africans did not appreciate the imitation, and in soven weeks the tour was abandoned and the members turned thoir faces toward the Rialto. Mr. Talbott said: "We started from Cape Town to Grahamstown, S"0 miles away. Tho cars were cast-oil English ntiaira. with no he itiug apparatus, and dirtier than a Western one-night dressing-room. Tho wind howled, and tho roof leaked, and we had to walk up and down tho aisle to keep from freezing. We had au idea that Africa was warm, but a blizzard sweeping across Union Square is like tho hot blast of a smelting furnace compared to the wind that struck us the lirsr night wo crossed the mountains. The train made nn average of thirteen miles an hour, and it cost us just J'J cents a mile. "W e continued on further with nosnceess. and tinally we cut over t Cape Town and took the first Steamer to Southampton. Wo knew when wo had enough, but (otnradr a was a great success. Gnevicvo Wurd followed us. and I'll bet she rues it, nud now poor Potter and Kyrle Belle w art going to try it. Tho theatrical business in Africa is oil'. There are enough people there to tin the houso for four nights and that's all. Five years ago. when the theatrical businea was a novelty then', they made money, but the edgo is worn off now and thev won't have it." 0UITDARX.

He served ono or more years as president of the Jit ate Teachers' Association during tho formative period of that body which has become such a rower in the educational work of Indiana. His standing as a eoientisr and lectnrer was fhown in his election as a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and as a lectnrer at Chautauqua and other educational assemblies.

UPBOAR IN THE CHAMBER

M. Constans Rebukes (he Bonlangist, M. Laur, with a Sound Slap in the Face ' late Cable Announces the Queen May Attend the Funeral of the Late Doko To-Day Hudjftrd Kipling Finally Wedded. A CAT AND DOG SESSION. Many Members of tl French, Chamber of Deputies Come to Blows. Paris, Jan. 19. The Chamber of Deputies was to-day .the scene of unnsnal excitement. At tho opening of the sitting presiding officer M. Floquet announced that he had received an intimation from a JJoulangist member, M. Lanr, that he desired to ask Premier Do Freycinct what steps the government would take regarding the Intransigent's attacks upon a certain member of the Cabinet. M. De Frcycinet said that - it was clear that the object of tho question was to have newspaper articles read from the tribune reflecting npon the government, and ho therefore declined to discuss tho matter. Cheors. Several members spoke in favor of the previous question. Others opposed tho shelving of tho matter, reminding the House that the President had recently decided that every member had a right to bo beard on a question not relating to the foreign policy of the government, and maintaining that the House ought not to vote tho previous question wheu it was a caso of sheltering a member of the Cabinet. Hisses. As M. Lanr was leaving the tribune M. Constans. toward whom the insinuations wero directed, suddenly advanced and struck him in the face. There was an uproar immediately. The government supporters wildly cheered M. Constans, while M. Laur, surrounded by friends, was led to his seat. M. Constans, on rotnrning to his place, was warmly congratulated, a number of Deputies hurrying to his side to shako bands with him. Meanwhile President Floquet vainly rang his bell in an effort to restoro order, and linding that his warnings were disregarded, finally adjourned tho sitting. He advised the members to retire to the committee-rooms, but many of thorn persisted in remaining in tho chamber, and there was no abatement in the clamor. Various groups of Deputies became engaged in violent quarrels. During one ot thoso disputes M. Delpocb, a Kepnblican member, culled tho ears of Deputy Castelin, a Houlnngist. As a result of this act of violence M. Dumarteil waited on M. Delpcch in tho lobby to arrange for a duel with Castelin. , At this juncture there was another row, resulting in arrangements for another duel, which it was 6ottlcd should precede that between M, Castelin and M. Delpcch. About the same time, also in the lobby, a well-known journalist struck M. ilondeau. a lioniaugist member. Other personal encounters being immineut in tho chamber and in tho lobbies, the questenres interfered, und, having requested tho Deputies to leave, cleared tho lobbies. M. Flonquet afterward' conferred with Premier De Freycinet and other Ministers, and with the officers of tho Honae. on the question whether tho rules of the Chamber applied to the case of M. Constans, who is a member of the Senate. Later on tho interrupted sitting was resumed. M. Constans, on entering the Chamber, was greeted with cheer. He responded by expressing his satisfaction at the sympathy shown him in tho Chamber, adding that it was sometimes impossible to maintain one's "sang 'froid." A motion to consider the previous question was then agreed upou by a voto of 4oS to 41. When M. Constans left the Chamber many of the Deputies escorted him to his carriage. A majority of the Doputies evidently heartily approve M. Constans' s action. M. Laur has telegraphed Henri Kocheforte, the Bonlangist leader, asking for advico as to whether he shall challenge M. Constans to a duel for striking him or resort to prosecution. Tho members of the Cabinet support M. Con stans. A rumor that he had resigned tho portfolio of the Interior proves to be without foundation. He merely o tiered to apologize to the Chamber for his breach of tho rnles, whereupon M. Flouquet. the presiding oliicer, decided to abstain trom interference in tho matter. Depnty Boudeau has obtained a summons for the journalist who struct; him in the lobby to appear in tho Police Court. The scttndal with which the name of General llrugero. secretary of President Camot's military household, is connected, and in regard to which M. Constans.Minlster of tho Interior, said in tho Chamber of Deputies last evening ho was ready to meet any interpellation, is alleged - to be sties of the decorations of the Legion of Honor. The story in published only in papers that nre notoriously unreliable in the news they famish the public. Papers of tho better class mako no mention whatever of it. IN' TI1E DOUIt OF GRIEF. Numerous Circumstances Combine to Drlng About a Shadow of ft loom. London, Jan. 19. The various effects and result of the death of the heir presumptive aro yet only subject of conversation in England, and, strange tosiy, the question which has ariseu as to the disposal of the sums of money collected for the wedding presents intended for tho dead princo and for poor Princess May, his widowed brideelect, is yet uppermost. There have been hundreds of suggestions as to tho manner in which theso sums should be expended, the last proposition being that the money so collected should bo given to tlioio who have been thrown out of work by the Prince's death. Up to tho present no general decision seems to have been nrrived at. thouch many committees and several Mayors have received earnestly-worded petitions as to the matter in qu estion. There is no doubt that the outburst of grief, real or assumed, sympathetic or inspired by loyalty to the Queen and love for tho Princess ot Wales, has fallen hcariiy upon the masses. The proprietors of theaters and other places of amusement which have been closed on account of tho Duke's death, the owners of business houses, factories, etc., whohavo also su tie red, have retaliated by deducting lrom the waes of their employes the amount of money they would have earned but did not earn on account of the stoppage of business which followed the death of Prince Albert Victor. This has caused bitter lamentations among tho poor, and there is no doubt that these unavailing protests dim the luster ofthobazeof loyalty which, if we aro to believe tho English newspapers, were heard throughout the land when the death of tho heir presumptive was announced. 'lh announced intended abseuco of tho Qihoq from tho funeral, the continued illness of Pi-moo (leorae. and the shadow of the Duke of Fife, his wife and baby in the distance, and the disappointment over the funeral arrangements nre causing the English people to feel gloomy. For tho first time in many years has Ireland turned to Euirland and extended the hand of sympathy, and it is safe to say that this will not soon be iorgotteu hero, and that it has given a powerfnl push forward to the movement favoring home rule for Ireland. ibe Prince and Princess of Wales desire it to be known as widely as possible how grateful they are for the universal evmpst hy which has been 6o kindly extended to them in their hour of aftiiction. They sent to tho Lord Ma'vor of Dublin a telegram in reply to the reselutions adopted by the Dublin corporation, condoling with him and his family on the death of the Duke of Clarence andAvondalo. His Royal Highness, in his meesago, says: I and the Princess of Waies are deeply touched by tho resolutions of condolence adopted by tho corporation of Dublin. Your words of sympathy have pone to our hearts. Our dear son was very happy in Ireland, and be would have shortly returned there if he had not been stricken by a fatal illness." lhe Duke of Clarence and Avondale, it n- Pf remembered, was a major of the lenth Hnsssrs, which is stationed at Marlborough Harraeks. in Dublin. l.io Lourt Circular says that the Queen TiA,at?53ed t0 atleni the funeral of the fih . cJ?rence, but yielded most unwllv? J to ihrterated entreaties of the Herself to the risk ot catching cold. Imply

ing to a messago of condolence from the chapter of Westminster, the Queen expressed her gratitude, and conveyed her sincere condolence on the death of Cardinal Manning, which she decplv deplores. The Prince of Wales, in a message to tho chapter of Westminster, says: Tbe Princess of Wales and 1 deeply appreciate, and are grateful for the chapter's warm sympathy. 1 had the pleasure of a close acquaintance with Cardinal Manning, and found him always a most loyal and steady friend and supporter of the royal family. I greatly regret his loss, and ar.i deeply touched by the kind words he used about my son." The weather having changed to-night and become milder, it is not improbable that the Queen will attend the funeral of tho Duko of Clarence. The Princess of Wales, Princess Victoria and Princess Maud of Wales. Princess May of Teck. Princess Beatrice, the Duchess of Fife and Princo George of Wales have already arrived at Windsor for the purpose of attending the funeral. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

NOT IN FAVOR OF ECONOMY

Democrats Have a Chance to Save Half a Million, bat Vote Against It. Annual Printing Bill Will Not Be Cut Down Because thePemajjogues Are Opposed to Paying Money Out of Their Own Pockets. JSperlsl to the Indianapolis Journal. WAsniNGTON. Jan. 19. The Ilonse put itself on record again to-day as against roal economy by defeating by a large majority the printing bill, and then proceeded to show Mr. Springer they wonJd not recognize him as the leader of the House. Its action towards Mr. Bpringer was so marked as to amount to a brutal discourtesy. It Toted down bis motion to adjourn, and two minutes atterward, when Mr. McCreary made the very same motion, it was adopted almost by acclamation. The decision on the printing bill took up the entire day in tho House. It was plainly shown that to adopt the bill meant a reduction of between $400,000 and 500,000 m the annual printing bill. Nevertheless, the bill was defeated, because, while it proved how the country could savo half a million I a vear.it told every congressman mat no would hereafter have to pay out of his own rocket the freight for his household goods, t is a notorious custom of "economical" Democratic Congressmen to send borne at the end of every session, under their franks, as "public documents," all their belongings. Tho fact that this bill provided for the appointment by the President of a superintendent of documents, who was to send out the documents himself, to tho perrons designated by the Congressman, was additional reason why some of the more partisan Democrats refused to vote for the bill, ovidently preferring that the country should pay half a million a year more for useless printing than that some Kepublican should be appointed to a 3.000 position. FEATUKES OF THE DEBATE. During 'the discussion Mr. Johnstone of South Carolina) said he opposed the bill on political grounds. He said ho saw in its provisions a scheme to consolidate in the Kepnblican party, through its control of the executive departments, absolute charge of tho distribution of the political literature of the. country. Ho thought the Democratic members of the committee had slept on thoir rights when they agreed to report the bill. It was open to another objection that by ita joint power to appoint tho proposed editor of the Congressional Keccrd. tho Senate would have the power to supervise the publication of the proceedings of the House, And, in the third place. Mr. Johnstone said tho most objectionable thing about the bill was tho appointment of the superintendent of the proposed bureau of distribution. He was to be nominated by tho President and confirmed by the Senate, and would be tho representative of an adverse political power. To this ollicial members of tho House are invited to prefer their requests npon matters of public business, a condition of thiues which ho did not think comported with the dignity of the House. Mr. Miller of Wisconsin said this bill presented an opportunity for practicing that economy for which the majority of the ilonso'wus elected. Tho bill wasan important measure and ho thought that when members fully consider it they will find it to be such a measure as they can cheerfully support. He moved that further discussion be postponed for a week. The motion was withdrawn, while Mr. Kichardson further explained the provisions of the bill which had been attacked. After further desultory debate Mr. O'Neill moved to lay the bill on the table. This was ugreed to, on a division of the House 105 to 51 The yeas aud nays were demanded, however. While the roll was being called Sir. Owens of Ohio suggested that tho Cleric was calling the names too rapidly. lie desired to vote "yea," but the clerk was too quick for him. The Speaker pro tern. Debate is not in order, if the geutleman desires to make a point of order tho Chair will hear it. Mr. Owens I am not debating. I nrn merely making a suggestion, Which I havo a perfect right to make. The Clerk Mr. Owens. No response, and there was none until a member called Mr. Owens's attention to tho fact that his opportunity to voto "yea" had come, which he proceeded to do amid the smiles of tho House. The voto on the motion to lay the bill on the table resulted yeas. 1ST; nays, 102 so the bill was laid aside for this Congress so far as the House i concerned. . Mr. O'Neill made the routine motion to reconsider the vote and lay the motion on the table, which "clinches" the action for the session. On that Mr. Miller of Wisconsin, a friend of tho bill, demanded a vote by yeas and nays. Pending that Mr. Springer moved that the House adjourn. A divisiouof the Ilonse resulted yeas, 8?; nays, 112. The House thereby refused to adjourn, the announcement being received with laughter by the Kepublicans. Mr. Miller's demandfor the yeasand nays was refused, and then Mr. O'Neill's motion was adopted. - Points from Senate Proceedings. Washington, Jan. 10. The first paper presented in the Senate to-dsy was a report from the Secretary of State, m reply to a Senate resolution, as to tho Mexican awards under the convention of 1SGS. Secretary lllaine'a report gives the full amount of the awards as $3,S05.C0D, all of which had been paid by Mexico in fourteen annual installments, in perfect accordance with the terms of the convention. Mr. .Stanford gave notice thnt he wonld. next Tuesday, submit somo remarks to tho Senate on his bill to increase tho circulating mrdium. Tho enrolled House bill fixing the times of sessions of the United States courts in the Northern district of Iowa was signed by the Vice-president, and is the first act ot the present session to go to the President for his approval. tTbe Old Hnlmsn Unit Will Govern. Washington, Jan. 19. It is now known that thcra will bo only a few changes made in the rules of the Fiftieth Congress. The modilied Holman rules of the Forty-eighth Congress, under which legislation was permitted on appropriation bills when germane and in tho lino of retrenchment in expenditure?, will be readopted. A rule will also be added limiting to oiifehonr the calls of States on Mondays for the introduction ot bills, the object being to prevent filibustering on suspension days by wasting tixns in the introduction nnd reading of ion bill. Itisalsolikely. although this ban not yet been absolutely decided upon, that a rule will be framed to prevent prolonged filibustering by enabling the Houso to bring to a vote nny measure on which it desires to close debate. This rnlo will prohably givo the rules committee authority to bring in a special order lixing a time at which debate on any specific measure shall cease, the approval of the order by the House, of course, being necessary.

The lowest point reached last night, according to trie, ollicial register of the weather bureau, was 5 below. Reports from outside points show stupendous variations in temperature, clearly indicating the approach of a warm spell. At Mmnedossa, Man., the minimum last night was 41 below, while at 7 o'clock this moraine it was only 11, showing a rise of 20 during tho email hours of tho morning. At Pierre, S. D., the transition was still more abrupt. 14 below being registered there very early thia morning, and showing arisoof 40. At Huron the lowest point reached was S4 and at 7 o'clock it was2G below. As soen above, the sauio hour at Pierre it was 6 above, thus making a difference of 52 in temperature in adistanco considerably less than 159 miles.

Tho weather throughout Mississippi, Louisiaua and Tennessee for the past few days has been cold and disagreeable, and still colder weather is predicted for to-night. It is tho coldest known in this vicinity for years. In north Louisiana all the smaller streams and lakos have been frozen, and steamboats all along the Mississippi in the States named have great difficulty in handlinir freight because of sleet and ice. Country roads are almost impassable. A heavy fruit crop is predicted in consequence of retarded development of buds, and acriculturists generally regard the long freeze as favorable to future crops. A dispatch from Dallas, Tex., says: The blizzard continued with unabated fury until daylight this morning. A gieatmany people remained up all night feeding their tires and keeping thoso about them from freezing. Thermometers ditl'er 60 there is a difficulty in determining the lowest point reacbed. G. A. lienloe, who reports for tho government, says his instrument registered lu below zero. Many private houses say theirs did not go ro low, but all aro agreed it was the wornt weather ever recorded in tho history of IVxas. The dispatches from the cattle ranches to-day are very gloomy. It m thunetit by many proprietors that the loas will foot up at least $1,000,000. The weather is now moderating aud there may bo a thaw to-morrow. Fonrtoti Inched f Snow. St. Louis, Jan. 19.

Reports from many points in Missouri. Illinois and Arkansas state that blinding snow-storms have raged for the last twenty-four hours and that all business is at a standstill. Dispatches from Texas say that the rainstorm of Monday morning turned into fleet during the dav and that live stock is su tiering terribly from the extremely cold weather now prevailing, everything being coated with ice. In this city the poor are having a sad experience, but many contributions of money, clothing and f nel have been made und a systematic distribution of these is being made.
