drafted by “not ten men on this planet." "I do not see." said Mr. Hoar, with feelin*:. "how any American heart, not of stone, could fail to recognize the force of that appeal." Mr. Hoar said he was perfectly satisfied with his entire course in the whole question of the Philippines, believing conscientiously that he was right. "1 am satisfied," said he. "to stand with the fathers who founded our liberty and framed our Constitution.” •Mr. Hale, said he had not much hope that the Senate would take any course that would slop the desolating programme now being carried out in the Philippines. Hardly had the treaty been ratified, however, before a foreign war was precipitated. "I am not disappointed.” said he. "I am not Inclined to say 'I told you so.’ but I told < nators when the treaty was ratified it would he impossible to take any steps to alleviate the condition of the Filipinos. Congress will adjourn and the war will go on, and there is not a man who will not realize in three months that It is a war of conquest and subjugation." He said that Admiral D> wey and General Merritt had said that in three months not 5,000 troops would be needed in the Philippines, yet we now have 20.000 men there and 7.000 more and the battle ship Oregon on the way. “And yet." declared Mr. Hale, "we are told that we are traitors and held up and blacklisted in the newspapers because we want to give those people a chance at least to show’ that they aro friendly and can set up a government of their own. Instead we kill them, not by scores, not by hundreds, but by thousands. More Filipinos have been killed by the guns of our army and navy than were pat riots killed in any six battles of the revolutionary war. It has become a gigantic event. The slaughter of people in no way equal to us, meeting us with bows and arrows and crawling into jungles by hundreds, there to die. has stupefied the American mind. No one has said that our mission of commerce and of the gospel was to be preceded by the slaughter of thousands of persons. I am not enamored of the Mcßnery resolution,” Mr. Hale said. “It contains little that is good and a good deal that is bad." He regarded the Bacon resolution as much the better. "But,” he aid, in conclusion, “the car of Juggernaut will go on. The grinding will continue until the people finally make themselves heard upon It." Mr. Mason delivered a speech in which he attacked the policy pursued In the Philippines. He said, however, that he was an optimist and believed the people of the United States would declare for human liberty as well in the Philippines as in this country. As Mr. Mason was concluding, the hour for the vote having arrived. Mr. Hawley inquired if it was Mr. Mason’s purpose to insist on his unanimous consent. Mr. Mason replied that it was, as he had done only that which was entirely honorable and fair in the matter. Mr. Bacon’s amendment to the resolution was then laid before tho Senate;. A yea and nay vote was demanded, resulting 29 to 29. In announcing the vote the Vice President said: “The vote is a tie. The chair votes in the negative. The amendment is lost.” The vote was them taken on the McEnery resolution, and it was adopted—26 to 22. The Senate then, at 3:05, went into executive session, and at 5:10 p. m. adjourned. SITUATION IN SAMOA — ANABCHY AMD REBELLION STILL PREVAIL IS THE ISLANDS. — Heavy Fine* Fnicl by German Officials —Dr. Rnffel and Hi* Native Allies Forced to Apologize. . ♦ AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Feb. 14.—Advices received here from Samoa, under date of Feb. 8, report that anarchy and rebellion etill prevail there. The provisional government persists in interfering with the British subjects and also with servants of British residents. The decision of the powers in the matter of the kingly succession is anxiously awaited. Annexation is looked on as the only possible solution of existing difficulties. It is stated that even Mataafa’s followers w’ould prefer English to German control. The British cruiser Porpoise returned to .Apia Feb. 1 from a cruise about the Samoan group, and reports having found affairs quiet on the other islands. The people of Tutula are unanimously in favor of Malietoa. In Savaii each claimant to the throne is strongly supported. • The German consul general, Mr. Rose, has notified Chief Justice Chambers that his government has not upheld his protest regarding that officer. The news was received with great satisfaction. Chief Justice Chambers reopened court to hear the charges of contempt against Dr. Jonnes Raffel and Herr Fries, chief of police. before releasing Herr Grievesmuhl. Dr. Baffcl failed to appear. Mr. Rose, the German consul, has declared that the matter came within the jurisdiction of his consulate. Chief Justice Chambers considered “Dr. Raffel guilty of contempt and cited him to appear at the next term of court, when judgment will be pronounced. He said that force would not be used to compel Dr. Raffel to appear, but th?.t the German consul could keep him in the consulate if he chose to do so. Chief of Police Fries was fined $lO9. Herr Grievesmuhl has paid tho fine of fj.OGO imposed on him by the court. The Porpoise having been boycotted by order of Dr. Raffel, and Mataafa sentries preventing natives from going off to the cruiser in canoes, an apology was demanded by the British consul, Mr. E. G. B. Maxe, for the attitude assumed toward the British and also for an insult offered to Chief Justice Chambers. Mataafa and his chiefs complied and Dr. ItafTcl also apologized in their behalf. It is understood that everything was in readiness on board the Porpoise for an attack on Mataafa if an apology had not been forthcoming. Dr. Raffel being engaged in organizing regiments for Mataafa, formal notice was served on him against expending taxes for this purpose. Malietoa Tanus and Tamas were still on board the Porpoise at the date of these advices. The arrival of ahe United States cruiser Philadelphia was hourly expected at Apia.

Wait 1 ii& to llenr from Osborne. WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.—The State Department is in expectation of an early report by cable from United States Consul Laither Osborne, at Apia, of the events that have taken place in that disturbed community since the. establishment of the provisional government. It is understood that the British government has two war vessels now at Apia, with another on the way or just arTived there. With this force at the back of the British consul it is not understood how the British residents of Apia can be oppressed. The provisional government spoken of in the Auckland dispatches as carrying matters with a high hand is nothing more than a temporary device, whose every act will h,> subject to the approval es the three governments party to the treaty, and whose existence must terminate the very Instant the powers can signify their determination to uphold the decision of the chief justice In the selection of Malietoa Tanus as King of Samoa. DENBY AT ST. LOUIS. He Sujr* the t nited State* Tail Scenre Anything Heawounhle from China. BIT. LOUIS. Feb. 14.-Gen. Charles S. TVr.by, ex-United States minister to China, recently appointed a member of the Philippines committee, was at the Planters’ Hotel to-day, en route to the Orient. While speaking of Chineso matters he said: “The concessions granted Lord Beresford on liehalf of the English should cause no alarm in the United States. We can. through the Foreign Office, or Tsung-IJ-Yamen. secure anything reasonable. Some money is. I believe. spent among underlings in order to get what Is wanted, but it is not a difficult matter to reach the ears of the Foreign Office. American missions in China arc growing. They should be maintained. They instruct and civilize the Chinese. During my term as minister no American missionary was killed or even injured." Coneeulon to Englishmen. liONDON, Feb. 13.—The Times says this morning: "We understand that Kir Claude MacDonald, British minister at Peking, has obtained a concession for a British syndicate to construct a railway from Hankau Ao Canton, along the coast,"

CANNED BEEF EXAMINED I.KNS THAN - PER CENT. OF SOO.OOO RATIONS INFIT FOR USE. Caban* Likely to Apologize to Gen. Brooke for Their Conduct at Garcia'* Funeral—Case Closed. HAVANA, Feb. 14.—Brigadier General George R. Ernst, of Major General Brooke's staff, has completed the examination of between SOO.OOO and 900.000 rations of beef in army storehouses. He found that there was less than 2 per cent, of bad beef, which was received in the same shipments as the beef condemned last week. One box in every ten was opeiTed and examined and also every box that was smelling hud. The beef was from the Armours and was in two and four-pound cans, and twelve and twentyfour pound cans were in each box. Eight ounces constitute one ration. The fact having come to the notice of General Brooke's headquarters that negro servants and other employes in Havana were declining to work any longer, affirming that it was unnecessary because the United States would supply them with all the food they wanted, Brigadier General Chaffee has directed a communication to the department commander, calling his attention to the fact. He has also requested that the regular Havana police, who were engaged under the American administration and promised SSO a month salary in American money, be paid the amount of salary due for the month of January in Spanish gold, the centene to be figured as worth $5.30. There is much complaint to the effect that policemen are losing 8 per cent, of the money for the payment of the force, which had been deposited by Major General Ludlow with the North American Trust Company to the credit of the police department in Spanish gold instead of American money as expected. In the matter of the withdrawal of Cubans from the Garcia funeral procession on Saturday the better element of Cubans are now realizing that a mistake was made in the childish attitude and behavior of their generals on that day. Public opinion is fixing the blame upon tho representatives of the Cuban Assembly and upon Fernando Freyre, one of the vice presidents of the assembly, and General Andrade, who, it is alleged, were responsible for the order to withdraw. Condemnation of Saturday’s action is growing and expressions of regret and apologies will be probably tendered to General Brooke. George Drexel and members of his family arrived here last night overland from ( ienfuegos, at which point they left their yacht. General Gomez has left Sagua, and proceeded to Santa Clara. Ovations In his honor continue with unabated enthusiasm. Roman Catholic services in the English language have been inaugurated at the Belen Church in Havana, Rev. Mr. Power officiating. The review of the Seventh Corps has been indefinitely postponed because of the weather. Mgr. Santander, bishop of Havana, has declined to allow Father Thomas Sherman, who recently arrived here from Porto Rico, to hold prayer at the cemetery to-morrow when the ladies of the city decorate the graves of those who lost their lives on the battle ship Maine. The City Council has decided to be represented at the ceremonies by three, of its members. Private McDonald, of Company B, Tenth United States Infantry, was stabbed in the back last night while he was walking with a Spanish woman. McDonald died and his body was buried this morning. Detectives are seeking for his murderer. During a severe windstorm last night 300 tents in the camp of Major General Lee were blown down, among them being that of Lieutenant Colonel Maus, chief surgeon of the Seventh Corps. The consequence was that 1,800 soldiers were temporarily deprived of shelter. Lieutenants Sartoris and Fitzhugh Lee. jr., and two or three other young officers clung to the ropes of the tent in which Major General Lee was sleeping through the fiercest of the storm and kept it from being blown down. Holman's Washington case, on the Central Park, lias been ordered closed by Senor Federico Mora, civil governor of Havana, because of the refusal of the proprietor to serve drinks to a mulatto, the Cuban general Ducasse. Several friends of Ducasse were seated In the case taking refreshments when lie happened to be passing and they called him to join them. Mr. Holman, however, refused to serve him. As the existing Spanish laws prohibit race distinctions, Senor Mora, to whom complaint was made, consulted Major General Ludlow, military governor of the department of Havana, as to the action to be taken. General Ludlow told him to enforce the law and Senor Mora Informed Mr. Holman that unless he wrote a letter of apology the case would be closed. Mr. Holman declined to write the letter and Senor Mora issued the closing order. Mr. Holman, who is an American, says he will reopen, claiming that he is sustained by the American authorities. It is considered that the controversy w’ill raise the race question.

Rainy Season May Be Early. SANTIAGO DR CUBA. Feb. 14.—Major General Wood has received a cable dispatch from Havana countermanding the order recently issued by General Brooke reducing official salaries in this province 20 per cent. Cubans here regard the rescinding of this order as a simple act of justice, asserting that salaries in Havana are 30 per cent, higher than those paid here. Unusually heavy rain here indicates that the arrival of the rainy season will be early. General Wood has recommended the appointment of Demctrio Castillo for the position of acting civil governor of Santiago. STILL TIED UP. (Concluded from First Paue.f come over the road since yesterday morning. The only train coming over the Baltimore &. Ohio to-day was that which left Laurel last night. To-night a local to Baltimore was sent out oti the main track and got as far as Alexandria Junction, near Bladensburg, where it is stalled in the snow' and help has been asked for. It was intended to dispatch a train for Now York at 0 o'clock over the B. & 0., but it was more than an hour after that time before it w'as made up and had reached the station. One track from Baltimore to Washington is said to be all right, also one from this city west to Rockville, about sixteen miles, and one from Baltimore to Frederick Junction, on all of which the Baltimore & Ohio officials expressed the intention of resuming traffic. I\ PEWBILV IMA. Railways HcKiniiinti to linn Hie Blockade on Chief Lines. PHILADELPHIA, Fell. 14.—The general railroad conditions to-night show' considerable improvement both locally and throughout Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Railroad to-day succeeded in raising the snow blockade on all its divisions in this city, except on the Philadelphia division, which will he opened to-morrow. Trains are running with fair regularity between here and New York, and also the chief points south. In the State trains on this line are gradually being put through. There is a strong probability that traffic will be generaily resumed to-morrow. The Reading Railroad remained tied up until late this afternoon, when trains began running irregularly. The Baltimore & Ohio is still at a standstill, although one or two train? were sent South this afternoon. The storm ffas abated in this vicinity. The snow was falling about 2 a. m., w ith a record of nineteen inches since Sunday night. This came on top of about ten inches that had fallen last week. Traffic of every sort in the city was at a standstill most of the day. Tne tiolley-car tracks were buried under yards of drifted snow and the task of digging them out seems a hopeless one. Only a minimum amount of business is being transacted. Charles J. Summers, a letter carrier aged sixty-two years, and Joseph Evans, aged sixty, were frozen to death to-day. A dispatch from Pottsville says: Fully 10,OOU men are at work in the coal regions clearing the railroads. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has posted notices calling for hundreds of men to clear the tracks. The Reading Railroad Company has called out 3.000 mine employes to assist in raising the blockade. The la-high Valley Company is doing the sain-. The snowstorm of the past few days will go down In history as the worst ever experienced in these parts. The snow lies several feet deep on the level. Where It is drifted it is house-top high, blockading sidewalks, streets, railways aud

all avenues of transporftition and communication. except telegraph and telephone lines. All the collieries are shut down until wagon roads and railroads are cleared of snow. The danger of a water famine is imminent throughout the coal region. Tho Blockade nt Pittuburg. PITTSBURG, Pa.. Feb. 14.—After battling against unequal odds with cold weather for five days the railroads have succumbed, and not a through train has left Pittsburg for the East since yesterday afternoon. The last train out of Pittsburg on the Pennsylvania Railroad was the Philadelphia express, which left here at 3:13 p. m. yesterday, and it got no further than Altoona. On the Baltimore & Ohio the night express left at 9 o'clock and ran to Cumberland, no passengers being received for points farther east. To-day the officials were all at sea and were unable to say when traffic could be resumed, but hopes were entertained that the roads would be opened up soon. This is only the second time in the history of Pittsburg that railroad communication with the Eastern coast has osen entirely cut off. All Western trains are moving, but all are from one to four hours late. All through passengers destined lor Eastern points are being cared for at tne railroads by; the railroad companies. Over two hundred persons w r ho were cn Western trains leaving here Sunday and Monday are snow-bound at Altoona. A made-up section of the fast line was started from Altoona yesterday afternoon and it stuck in a snow’ drift at Allegrippus and is still imprisoned there. The passengers were taken back to Altoona. It s reported that a cattle train consisting of seven cars on the Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston road was caught in the storm last night and that every animal perished. A .carload ot hogs on the same road was frozen. Street* Lined with Hank* of Snow. BALTIMORE, Md.. Feb. 14.—The weather of to-day affords a perfect contrast to that of yesterday. The snow laden clouds gave way to clear skies and the sun shone brightly. The effects of the blizzard are still to be seen, however, in great drifts everywhere. The streets are lined with banks of snow and ice ten to twelve feet high, the street cars are blockaded in all parts of the city, but two lines being open. The markets are closed and the food supply is short because of inability of grocers, dairymen and others to make delivery. Oysters, fish and other sea articles are higher. Trains on the various railroads leading into Baltimore have not yet been resumed. In New England. BOSTON, Feb. 14.—The four great railroad systems in New England are rapidly shaking off the paralysis to train service, caused by the snow. Suburban traffic is well maintained and w’ill follow schedules tomorrow’, while long-distance trains are getting through. The Boston & Albany sent out one through Western train during the day, and one came in from Chicago. SKATING IN LOUISIANA. Sixteen Degrees Below Zero at One Point—Crop* Ruined. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 14.—The weather in New’ Orleans has moderated somewhat today, but it is still too cold and damp under foot to make pedestrianism pleasant. The mercury steadily rose yesterday and last night from 6.8 above, the low’est ever recorded in this section, but towards morning it again began to fall. At 7 o’clock this morning it stood at twenty-two degrees. Throughout the State it has been bitterly cold, and heavy damage has been done to the vegetable and orange crops in spite of the warnings that were sent in advance of the approach of the cold wave. As showing the severity of the weather Gibbsland’s record may be cited. It was sixteen below zero there at iast reports. Bayous Terre Bonne and la*. Fourche are frozen for ihe first time since the war. Lake Providence, in north Louisiana, is likewise frozen. Such an event has not been noted before in the past twenty-five years. Bayou St. John at the Esplanade bridge, cn the outskirts of this city, is frozen, and there was skating on the ice this morning. Trains on all the roads are away behind time, and there has been serious interruption to the mail .service. The races have been postponed until Thursday owing to the treacherous condition of the track. Reports from all sections of Mississippi indicate very severe weather, and there has been much damage to crops. On the gulf coast the temperature has been below’ zero. At Meridian it has been as low’ as four below. Bay St. Louis, which enters the Mississippi sound, is frozen at Henderson’s Point. Back bay to the rear of Ocean Springs is also frozen. The ice gorge above Vicksburg is causing much distress to steamboat men. The reports from Florida, brief because of the partial prostration of telegraph wires, are to the effect that the orange and pineapple crops have suffered. serious damage.

TEXAS HIVEHS FROZEN. bosses of Cattle Raisers Will He Large —Crops Also Uamnged. DALLAS, Tex., Feb. 14.—Reports from all over north Texas are that the blizzard of Saturday and Sunday was the most severe in the history of the State. Loss of cattle in the Indian Territory and on the Panhandle ranges will likely be very large, though accurate figures are not yet forthcoming. The temperature has risen about 13 degrees, and, though it is still far below- the freezing point, traffic of all kinds is moving regularly. Zero w-eather has been recorded all over north Texas. Snow’ has been on the ground for seven days. This is the longest cold spell for fourteen years. WACO. Tex.. Feb. 14.—For the first time in its history Waco and vicinity has experienced zero weather. Sunday morning the mercury showed 7 below- and yesterday morning 3 below. The temperature rose above freezing point yesterday afternoon for the first time in five days. Oats are ruined and w-heat so seriously injured as to amount to destruction. The fruit crop is not injured. The Brazos river is frozen from bank to bank and all streams and ponds are covered with ice thick enough for skating. Great damage has been done to live stock. LAREDO, Tex., Feb. 14.—The continued unprecedentedly cold weather of the past week seemed to culminate last night, when the temperature went down to 18 degrees above zero and ice several inches thick has stood in the open air during the past three days. Two Mexicans died from exposure on the river bank during the night, and there has been considerable suffering among the poorer classes of Mexicans, who are tinable to obtain employment owing to the prevalence of smallpox among them. HOUSTON, Tex.. Feb. 14.—The thermometer has made anew low record mark in southern Texas, reaching 4 degrees above. The loss to stock will be very heavy. Early vegetables are damaged to the amount of at least $1,000,000. There has been no great amount of human suffering, but cattle arc in a horrible condition, having no place to lie, as the prairies are wet and the marshes frozen over. Buffalo river was frozen over, though Nueces bay, far down the river, is reported full of floating ice. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 14.—Prevalent weather for the past week has been the severest experienced in southwest Texas for many years. .For the first time since 1882 the San Antonio river lias been frozen over and skating is permissible. GALVESTON, lex.. Feb. 11.—Galveston’s temperature yesterday morning was 10 above zero. It was not so cold as Sunday morning, but there waps less wind and the bay lroze over. . IX THE SOUTHEAST. Orange Trees in Florida Reported to He Coated with lee. SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 14.—Letters were received to-day from Florida, telling of the direful effect of last night's freeze in that State. The orange growers’ letters are recitals of ice-bound trees and fruit that is ruined by the cold. The price of Florida oranges advanced this morning in one hour from the receipt of the Florida mail from $3 to $3 per box. The crops about Savannah are a total loss. Early vegetation was blackened and killed by the freezing weather. The melting snow to-day is adding to the freezing waters that these plants have received. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. Feb. 14.-The damage done by the cold wave in the State was ♦’hnfined to the early vegetable crop. The injury to the city’s industry is as yet merely speculative. It is thought the orange bloom brought out by the open Florida winter has been injured. It will require live or six days to ascertain the exact damage done the orange trees. CHARLESTON, S. C.. Feb. 14.—The published tables showing the temperature of Charleston from 1738 to to-day, the oldest ou this continent, prove that the record of this morning, ti.B degrees above zero, is the lowest ever known here. Reports from the interior are meager, but the laboring classes, especially negroes, are suffering for fuel and much destitution is expected. Many hogs and cows in the country are reported frozen to death and truck and other crops have been seriously damaged. No maritime disasters have been reported here, but the captain of a vessel arriving to-day from

Savannah reports that Stone river is frozen over for a distance of six miles six Inches thick and that he had to cut his way through with difficulty. AUGUSTA, On.. Feb. 14.—The peach country in the territory within a radius of fifty miles of this city in Georgia and South Carolina was not harmed by the cold weather. The fruit season for this section is two weeks later than south Georgia. TREES BURST OPEN. Coldest Weather Ever Known in Ar-kansas-—Degrees Below. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 14.—A1l records for temperature in Arkansas have been broken, and Feb. 12. 1599, will be treasured up in the memory of the oldest inhabitants for years to come. At 11 o’clock Saturday night, the thermometer in the weather bureau office registered one degree above zero. The mercury then began its toboggan slide and at 8 a. m. Sunday it reached the lowest on record here, twelve degrees below zero. Since then a slow rise has been in progress and at 3 p. m. yesterday it stood at nineteen above. There has been much suffering among the poor as they were lacking proper food, protection and clothing and fuel being so scarce that it has been unobtainable, by even those who could afford to buy it. One person has frozen to death—a mail carrier named Brozer. At Fayetteville the thermometer yesterday morning registered twenty-four degrees below zero, which is about fifteen degrees colder than has ever been known there. In the large orchards many trees burst open from the cold and several horses and cows were frozen to death. ON SHORT RATIONS. People of Colorado Mountain Town* Almost Out of Food. DENVER, Feb. 14.—Seven men on snowshoes arrived in Leadville to-day from Kokomo. They say that Kokomo, Carbonville, Robinson, Climax and surrounding towns are entirely out of meat, sugar, baccn, butter and eggs. There still remains a small quantity of flour and potatoes, which is doled out sparingly. The coal supply Is also exhausted. While the people are not yet starving, they are in serious straits. All the available men from the towns along the South Park high line are engaged in shoveling a road from Robinson to Pando, on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, which place they hope to reach by Friday or Saturday. The distance is only about ten miles, but the snow’ is packed so hard that only two or three miles a day can be cleared. Provisions will be taken to Pando from Leadville and rushed to the famine-stricken towns as soon as possible. All the mines in that district have shut down for lack of fuel. Bli/.zn ril Votes. Henry E. Vincent, thirty-two years old, wae found within a few’ feet of his home at Baltimore frozen to death. Robert Fowler, aged eighty-three, and Mary Halstead, aged seventy-four, were found frozen to death in the Guian valley, West Virginia. A tramp named Anthony Boracci was taken to the hospital at Lexington, Ky., yesterday frozen almost to death. A negro woman was found on Deweese street. Lexington, almost dead from the cold. Neither will likely survive. Yesterday was the most pleasant that St. Louis lias seen for tw T o weeks. From twelve degrees above zero yesterday morning the thermometer registered gradual rises until at 9 o'clock last night it reached thirtythree degrees above. Reports to the Houston Post during the two days of intense cold show that fourteen lives were lost in Texas by freezing. In the past ten days the Post thas chronicled the cremation of twenty persons, of whom sixteen w’ere children, the majority having their clothing catch fire from open fireid aces. One of the Philadelphia ice boats at work in the Delaware river arrived at New Castle, Del., yesterday with thirty-live men of the engineer department of the United States army who had been stationed at Fort Delaware. The men were out of provisions, and, being cut off entirely from a fresh supply, the officer in charge decided to abandon the fort for the present.

WARMER WEATHER TO-DAY. Fait* in Southern Indiana, unit Rain or Snotv in Northern. • WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 8 p. m.—Forecast for twenty-four hours: For Ohio—Generally lair, except probably light snow in northern portions; rising temperature; fresh to brisk southerly winds. For Indiana and Illinois— Fair in southern; probably snow or rain in northern portion; warmer; southeasterly winds. Weather Conditions and General Forecast —The great storm has practically disappeared off the northeast Canadian coast, after a combination of snow and high winds that must hereafter stand as a record for almost the entire Atlantic coast region. Clear weather is general to-night, except in the upper lake region and upper Mississippi valley, where snows and rains are falling, and in the southern portion of the west gulf States, where it is also raining’. In addition there were light mows during Monday night in the upper Mississippi valley. Wisconsin and Minnesota. With the exception of a limited territory' in the Southwest and the eastern portion of the norAhern slope th re has been a general and decided rise in the temperatures and they are once more above the freezing point west of the Mississippi river, in Florida and in the gulf States, except northeast Alabama. They still continue comparatively low in the Atlantic States. In the plateau region and on the Pacific coast there has been little or no change, except that the rains on the extreme northern coast have extended southward into northern California. A low area is evidently developing off the Texas coast and rains are therefore indicated in southern portion of the gulf States. There will also be light snows in the upper lake region and light rain or snow in the central Mississippi valley. Generally fair weather will prevail elsewhere east of the Rocky mountains. The temperatures will continue comparatively high west of the Mississippi river and rise generally to the eastward.

BELATED OCEAN LINERS ARRIVAL OF THE PARIS. CATAMA AN D OTHER OYEKDI E STEAMERS. ♦ AVurnt Won!her Ever Experienced on the Atlantic—l'UKxlhility that All the Bulgarin’* People Are Safe. \ NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The American line steamer Paris arrived to-day from Southampton after a most tempestuous voyage, and, although the passage was one of the worst ever experienced by the steamer's officers, the Paris behaved splendidly and proved herself a stanch sea boat. The saloon passengers, at a meeting held in the saloon on Monday, presented Captain Watkins with a set of resolutions in which they commended him and his officers for their splendid seamanship. The saloon passengers raised by subscription a handsome sum, which will be divided among the seamen. The steamer Catania, Captain Furlong, which left St. Michael’s, where she had put in for repairs, nineteen days ago, and about whose safety much anxiety was felt, passed Sandy Hook, bound in, to-day. The Catania left Glasgow on Dee. 18 for New York and put in at St. Michael’s on Jan. t>, much damaged from gales, after being reported sighted at sea as almost a wreck. Other ocean steamers began coming in at an early hour this morning. First the Cunarder Etruria and Holland-American liner Spaarndam were sighted off Fire island. Next came the American liner Paris. Then the Anchor liner Anehoria, from Glasgow, was reported in quarantine. Two other steamers also came in early, the Clyde liner Algonquin and the Ward liner Macedonia. It is believed many steamers arrived outside the bar during the blizzard and stood off shore for plenty of sea room, and that they will reach port later. Among the liners due are the Gera and Cymric. The White Star liner Germanic, which had her coal bunkers, tire rooms and engine rooms flooded last night through someone leaving the starboard coal chute open, is resting easily on the muddy bottom in her slip at the foot of West Tenth street. The hull is only submerged twenty-six feet at the bow and twenty-eight feet at the stern. A wrecking crew is at work, and as soon as the pumps are put to work the steamer will begin to rise. The damage done will not amount to much, but overhauling of the machinery will be necessary. THE MISSING BULGARIA. All the Passengers and Crew Maty Have Heen Taken Off. ST. MICHAEL’S, Azores, Feb. H.—The captain of the American tank steamer Weehawken, which vessel arrived here on Sunday with twenty-five women and children whom she took from the Hamburg-Amer-ican steamer Bulgaria, which latter ship was met 800 miles from the Azores islands on Feb. 5, disabled and In a severe storm, now reports that two other setamers, the names of which are not known here, were standing by the Bulgaria when he met her. The crew of the Weehawken, the captain says, were obliged to abandon further efforts to rescue those on board the Bulgaria, it being impossible to return to the Ham-burg-American liner utter the passengers had been saved owing to the VVeehavvken’s boats being wrecked. The crew report that there is a possibility that the Bulgaria did not founder. NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The HamburgAmerican line office to-day received the following cable from the home office of the line In Hamburg: “The German consul in the Azores oables that on account of the high seas passengers have not yet left the Weehawken. I am now trying to get some of them landed and will then cable their statements. I do not believe that the Bulgaria was in a sinking condition. The captain of the Weehawken cannot say whether any of the compartments were full or part lull of water. All the rest is conjecture. Another boat of the Bulgaria is said to have been taken up by an unknown steamer. The message concludes by saying that the consul will take care of the rescued passengers and crew. He also received another cable as follows: “Weehawken being an oil steamer, probably called at Ponta del Gada only for purpose of landing Bulgaria’s passengers. 'Two other steamers having assisted the Bulgaria, there is great probability that those steamers took the remainder of the passengers and crew. Those steamers continued their voyage to destination and so it is likely that nothing will be heard for a week or fortnight.” Mr. Boas said he did not believe the Bulgaria was lost. This is the cabled list of those arrived on the Weehawken: John Miller, Mrs. Anna Bergmann, Henrich Bergmann (child). Miss Ludowiska Szcerbowska, Mettie Kohn (child), Benny Kohn (child), Thomas Luczsack, Elizabeth Bergmann (child). Miss Helene Trachmann, Jnaz Kohn (child). Nathan Kohn (child), two little girls, probably Trotzka and Bowen. Boatsman Ahlgren, Quartermaster Goetknecht; sailors Clausen. Weber.

Island of St. Michael's, Azores, Feb. 14.—A Portugese tug, which started on Sunday to search for the missing steamers Pavonia and Bulgaria, was unable to And them and was compelled to return to Fayal to-day on account of the fierce winds and heavy seres. She will proceed on a further search as soon as the weather will permit.

SAVANNAH, Ga„ Feb. 14.-The steamship William Lawrence, which went aground on the coast of South Carolina on Saturday, will be a total loss. Captain Fisher, of the Ocean Steamship Company’s vessel, Kansas City, from New York, came into port this morning with his ship looking like a big icicle.

general subject of “Democracy,” and his appearance and remarks called forth hearty api .ausf. He said, in part: “The ratification of the treaty, instead of committing the United States to a colonial policy, really clears the way for the recognition of a Philippine republic. Lincoln in his first inaugural message condensed an unanswerable argument into a brief question, when he asked: ’Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?’ The same argument is presented in the question, Could the Independence of the Filipinos be secured more easily by diplomacy from a foreign and hostile nation than it can be through laws passed by Congress and voicing the sentiments of the American people alone? If Independence is more desirable to our colonial policy, who is there or what is there to prevent the recognition of Philippine Independence? It is absurd to say that the United States can be transformed from a republic into an empire without consulting the voters. "The imperialists may be willing to deny to the P’ilipinos the right to govern themselves. but they cannot deny to the American people the right to determine the policy to be pursued by the United States in the settlement of the Philippine question. Until the people express themselves we can only guess their views, but is it not safer to suppose that they will adhere to the ideas and policies of a century than to assume that they will go back to the creed of kings and to the gospel of force? “In commemoration of the fact that France was our ally in securing independence the citizens of that nation joined with the citizens of the United States in placing in Ncw r York harbor an heroic statue representing Liberty enlightening the world. What course shall our Nation pursue? Send the statue of Liberty back to France and borrow' from England a statue of William the Conqueror? Or shall our Nation so act as to enable the American people to join with the Filipinos in placing in the,harbor of Manila a second statue of Liberty enlightening the Orient?” Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, and Mayor Bose, of Milwaukee, had been expected, but were obliged to send regrets. MANY WOMEN ABSENT. Programme of Hie 'National Connell Disarranged by the Storm. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The National Council of Women to-day heard reports from state and local councils, giving details of the work accomplished by the several organizations.

Other work on similar lines was also undertaken. Mrs. Wulschner, president of the council of Indianapolis, then submitted a report from that body. Mrs. 1* M. Beck, of Bloomington, lnd., told what had been accomplished in her city through the efforts of the local council to beautify and improve the city. Mrs. Mary N. Klske. speaking for the council of Minneapolis, told of the good work accomplished in the direction of establishing “traveling libraries” for the people of Hennepin county.

It is the intention in the future to take up the question of municipal reform. The council continued its session in the afternoon and again to-night.

Pa., Feb. 11.—Carl Norcross, a well-known and well-to-do young man of this place is in jail on a charge of endeavoring to secure the murder of his little brother Allen, aged ten years. A few hours after his arrest Norcross swallowed poison and as he is still unconscious very little hope of his recovery is entertained. Norcross and his brother inherited a fortune of $25,000 and a large part of tho former’s share, it is said, has been dissipated. The arrest was made upon the confession of John Devlin and Sylvester Hetterman. who alleged that they were hired by Norcross to give poisoned candy to the boy. The men say they were to receive SSOO for delivering the package to the lad. ++++++++++++++++ + + X Grape=Nuts + + X A FOOD FOR BRAINS + + + J A Charming Breakfast Dish. + + At the Grocers. + + "** ++++ ++++++++++++ Any man or woman who cares to make a test by using Grape-Nuts for a portion of one or two meals each day will tlnd a distinct increase In vigor, ano particularly in brain power.
