Fflect of Victoria's Death on the International Situation. LONDON. Feb. 9. A comprehensive view if the International situation reveals nr.ly .inpraved prospects for continued poace n harmony. From the Britten standpoint, Quirn Yiciori.is rath apjars to have rn-n?thcr.i I rather tixia weakened Great iJrii:ui l-'-fitK.n air.or.c the nation.-:.

The foremost factor in this, .atmv.'ly, n iiXjH-ror William's attitude.

Closer relation!", undoubtedly, now exist lwtw?t-n Great Britain and Germany. Lord Salisbury and Lord Lansdowne are rju'te prepared to hear Count Von But-low. the imperial chancellor, satirically InJIttle the effect of Emperor Williams visit, but, in Downing street, this will Ik? taken as meant purely lor home consumption, and as merely more evlüenre of the skillful hind of th Emperor. The alliance between Great Britain and Fcrtugnl scarcely needed the visit of King Charles to render it stronger. Yet the continued stay here of that ruler is believed to be likely to bring the people? of Portugal and Great Britain In closer touch, thus rendering easier the work of their respective governments. So far as the diplomatic phase goes, the Associated Press Is officially informed that nothinp new has resulted from the King of Portugal's stay in England. The mutual responsibilities in connection with the Delagoa bay were too well understood previously to need further dlscusilon. Thus. Portugal. Germany and Great Britain are believed to be more closely united than ever In their historyunited by a compact that, in the opinion of leading British statesmen. Is stronger even than the Dreibund, which is, yearly, becoming more of a tradition than a working agreement. The only feature of the recent international happenings regretted at Downing street Is the Kmperor's decoration of Field Marshal Lord Huberts with the Order of the Black Eagle. It is thought his Majesty went almost too far. in view of the hostile comments the German press Is in the habit cf showering on Great Britain's South African campaign. "Still." say the officials. "Emperor William never does things by halves." Neither in China nor in other parts of the world, do ltus-ia and. France, in the Foreign Officer's views, give any indication of counteraction against the activity of British diplomacy. Lord Salisbury is said to rely on Emperor William to keep in toueh and harmony with the Czar. So long as this is feasible. France Is not expected to take any serious Initiative. Moreover, according to dispatches in the press, French anglcphobism seem3 to have abated since the Queen's death. Austria and Italy are put down as sure to do nothing contrary tc Emperor William's wish. It Is easily seen Emperor William Is now the dominating figure in European affairs. To this Great Britain has no objection. She ha,. made It possible, and trusts to benefit by it. Relationship between the reigning families of Europe Is not held to be of muc!i account In the chancelleries; but so far as It goes. It !s believed King Edward VII s personality will tend to improve Its degree cf potency. More Important to some Cabinet ministers than the European situation Ic the belief that a solution of the Nicaragua canal dispute can be arrived at without the slightest friction. Wltn the exception of China, this was the only serious cloud on G:at Britain's diplomatic horizon previous to the Queen's death. Now it is hoped it will disappear. The exclusive announcement by the Associated Press yesterday that Great Britain is about to make counter proposals to the United States on the basis of the United States amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which are lively to necessitate extended negotiation-, not a word of which is known in England, may be safely described as a pound of Salisbury and an ounce of Lansdowne. Th Hevi premler'3 foreign policy has been s..rrewhat justly defined as a mixture of Micawberlsm and fatalism. Lord LanscVwne 13 said to have taken up a rather aggressive standpoint, insisting on the observance of the ethics of treaties, but the tame spirit of compromise, which it Is he ped will be shown by the United States, prevailed within the British Cabinet, Lord Salisbury as usual gaining nis point. Whether the Cabinet is unduly optimistic In thinking the United States will contider or agree to counter propositions, time ulone will show. As a Foreign Office of-tic-al said sententlously, "nothing Is ever settled by one dispatch." MIX OH G ER 31 AX TOPICS. The Cannl II III and German-American Commercial Relation. BERLIN. Feb. 9. The Prussian Diet's action in referring the canal bill to a committee of twenty-eight, composed largely of opponents of the measure, augurs 111 for the bill's chances. The whole Conservative press continues Its warfare against the measure. During a debate In the Agricultural Council Baron Von Wangenhcim, president of the Husbandry Society, said Increased cereal duties were by no means all thatGerman agriculture needed. After obtaining sufficient duties it was necessary to obtain control of the grain market and bcurse to fix prices and reduce the go-between trade to the most necessary limits. The Preusiche Jahrbuecher (a leading Conservative political review) has published articles signed by Iljalmar Schacht, on the subject of German-American future trade relations, in which the writer claims it will be necessary to make ready for a tariff war with the United States, adding that If the United States saw Germany was ready and In earnest she would be forced to grant Germany better terms, while a mere protest would be laughed at in Washington. The Kreuz Zeltung corroborates this statement, saying: "The Americans are well aware that for them a tariff war Is more difficult to support than It would be for Germany. When they perceive that the Germans will not stand shilly-shallying any longer they wi'.l say: At last the stupid Germans begin to see their advantage. " XXXThe highest Prussian court decided Monday, In an appeal rr.nde by a wholesale dealer at Kolmer. Pomeranla. that it Is lawful to enforce additional Inspections of American meats, bacrn. etc.. In the towns where they are offered for sale, after a tirst satisfactory indirection at the port cf entry, namely, Stettin, and that the police regulations bearing therecn. of November. l-U?. and the law of March. lvk, are valid. xxx The lower hoi;e of the Prussian Di:t Continued to-day the debate on the estlnale cf the ministry of justice and voted Its approval of the princ.p'.es hitherto observed by Dr. Schwerstedt, the minister of justice, in the appointment of not irles. the Radicals and PoU-s opposing.

T., Feb. 9.-Word comes te-nlght that five members of the Lawrence family, residing eighteen miles west of Wagoner, are lying dead at their home from smallpox; that two remaining members of the household are awaiting death, unconscious, and another nearly dead from fright and loss of sleep. The oldest son was taken sick Thursday and died In forty-eight hours. The father left immediately for town to secure a coffin and upon his return found two others had died also.

Once Inside the carriage the clamor for a shake of her hand was too great and the crusader stepped out of the carriage, and, clinging to the swinging door with one hand, frantically grasped the outstretched hands and arms with the other, crying all the while: "God bless you; there's a saloon-smasher, God bless you." AT A TEMPERANCE HOTEL. After the reception, which lasted fully fifteen minutes, the crowd was forced back and the carriage moved up to the Sabine House, the only prominent hotel In the city without a bar. Here Mrs. Nation received many hundreds, shaking hands and giving all her blessing. By this time the enthusiasm had been worked up to a high degree, and Mrs. Nation was urged tc make a tour of the saloons. This she agreed to do and, accompanied by three city eletectlves, detailed by the chief of rolice, called upon, four saloon keepers In their places of business. She was followed by an enormous crowd. When the barroom of the KIrkwood Hotel was reached the chief of police held a hasty consultation with his lieutenants and concluded to stop the crusade, which was accomplished without objection on the part of Mrs. Nation. As Mrs. Nation left the KIrkwood annex the police escort urged that she had seen about all there was to be seen and the other ladies were weary. Mrs. Nation consented to desist and went to the hotel followed by a crowd that filled the street, cheering and urging her to go back and do some smashing. Mrs. Nation took all good naturedly, but refused to turn back, and made a parting speech at the hotel door. During the afternoon Mrs. Nation received a telegram from a well-known brewing company offering her &uu a month to go on the road and advertise their beer. She replied: "If it Is -your pleasure that I shall advertise your business with the hatchet, which is my usual way, I nm at your services. I promise that every one shall hear of your famous beer." Mrs. Nation lectured to a large audience to-night. On Monday she will leave for Chicago, stopping en route at Muscatine, la. Ir. speaking of her trip to Chicago Mrs. Nation said her present plan is not to smasn any more saloons, out to continue the crusade ana arouse sentiment for the temperance cause. She said: "When I get to Chicago I shall deliver my address, as I have agreed, and while there I shall call upon Mayor Harrison and give him a piece of my mind. Why, I think that Harrison Is the biggest devil In the land." I.nvr to lie Enforced. TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 9. Atorney General Goddard to-night appointed Judge. A.

Cal.. Feb. 9.-Capt. George F. Wilde, recently commander of the battleship Oregoa In Asiatic waters, who has been detached from sea duty, is here on his way to Washington. The Oregon Is now In first-class condition and probably will start for this city about May 1. Captain Wilde, in an Interview said: "It is my personal opinion that the best place in the Philippines for the proposed naval station and dry dock would be lloilo. There Is a long protecting island Immediately la front oi" lloilo, and there are two passages, both of which are narrow and could be easily made absolutely impregnable. Th naval board, however, has chosen Suhls bay, which is a typhoon-proof harbor with it fort near the entrance. It is sixty mile from Manila by water and will be but forty miles by rail when the necessary road is built. There is no settlement there larger than a mere village. HoRcr May Succeed Ileiney.

He will sail this month in the New York to assume duty as senior squadron commander. Bear .-dmiral Remey will remain In Asiatic waters for another year, when he will be directed to return to tr.eL'niteel States. Rear Admiral Rogers is senior to Rear Admiral Kempff, and will ccns-iuently succeed Rear Admiral Remey in command of the station. It Is not believed Rear Admiral Kempff will remain in Asiatic waters after the detachment of Admiral Remey, as both were ordered to the East at the same time." SUIT FOR $40,000.

SNOW AND STRONG WIND

STORM THAT 3XADB C11ICAGOAXS WISH THEY AY ERE IX FLORIDA. Railway Trafllc Delayed Several Serious Accident Snbnrlm Again Burled Under Drifts. CHICAGO. Feb. 9. Seven Inches of snow fell in Chicago during the storm which started yesterday afternoon and which raged until this morning, resulting In an almost complete- tie-up of many of the cross-town car lines, and seriously Interrupted the suburban tralflc on all roads. So blinding-was the fine snow driven by a northeast wind, which at times reached a velocity of over forty miles an hour, that many accidents resulted. One man was killed and another fatally Injured, as a result of the storm. Andrew J. Switzer, a railway switchman, was run down and instantly killed by a Grand Trunk engine. Switzer was facing the storm and did not hear the bill. Alvin Carlson was also run down and badly mangled while inspecting air brakes on a Lake Shore passenger train, the howling wind drowning the sound of the starting whistle. On the South Sido Elevated Railway a collision occurred on a curve at Sixty-third street, which derailed two cars and caused a panic among the passengers, but which resulted in serious injury to no one. The death list resulting from the storm was increased to three early to-day. Victor Corona was found dead on the tracks of the Illinois Central Railroad. lie is supposed to have been struck by a suburban train. Miss Ida McCune, an elderly woman, w?s found unconscious in a gnow drift, and died before medical assistance could bo summoned. The deep clinging snow Interfered greatly with the fire department, it being impossible for the horses to haul tha heavy apparatus quickly through the deep drifts. The storm was general over the "West and Southwest and trains on all roads centering in Chicago were from fifteen minutes to two hours late. Reports early to-day showed heavy snow extending from Duluth down the Mississippi valley to St. Louts and eastward the storm was covering Ohio with snow. South of St. Louis it was raining hard. In Chicago the new snow coming or; top of the foot thit fell last Saturday and Sunday formed drifts in the suburbs that made street travel here almost impossible. The total fall of snow was the heaviest here for several years. Xnvlgatlon Dn.ifreroas. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. New York harbor was still ice-locked to-day, and all traffic afloat in bay and rivers was crippled by the floes. Not in many years, say the shipping men, has commerce of the harbor been so impeded by the ice. Even the Atlantic liners are delayed and bothered by the packs which for days have hung lerslstently along the water fronts everywhere, filling up the slips and causing delay and vexation to thousands who travel on ferry boats. Increasing the trouble a hundred fold came the storm this morning, and for several hours ice and snow placed an embargo on the port. No vessel dared to navigate the Narrows or Hell Gate till the snow had stopped falling. Many tug boats have been called into service to break the way for clogged vessels. Where one tug is usually enough to tow a whole fleet of canal boats around the Battery, two or three are now required for the work. The resources of the tug owners have been taxed to the limit. Last Wednesday night it was Impossible to charter a tug for any price. Every one was busy. 'i he ferry boats to-day continued to fight their way from slip to slip. It has been impossible for these boats to run on schedule time for several days. AVEATHEIl FORECAST. Fair and Colder To-I)ny, -vrlth Fresh Westerly Winds.

TILL THE FALL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) than that in the city of publication-is that it would be a physical impossibility for the postoflice eo handle the dally newspapers for delivery in their own town, but r.ot enough of them are sent by mail ta ether towns to embarrass the postal service. In the case of weeklies, the postoffico can deliver them without embarrassment, and it has long done so. To withdraw this privilege now would be a serious matter to the publishers of weekly papers, especially the local weekly newspapers. They should continue to be distributed in the county of publication free of postage, and where there is a letter carrier service in the city or town thej should continue to le delivered to subscribers as heretofore, and where there is rural free delivery they should be delivered through It as is now done. The postal codification bill as it passed the House cuts oft these I rivllf ges and that far is distinctly inimical to the interests of the publishers of weeklypapers. Senator Fairbanks this afternoon introduced an amendment which will correct the proposed injustice and leave the law in that regard as it is now. It Is well to remember that the bill has passed the Hou rn!y, anil is now in the hands of the posfcilice committee of the Senate. It will probably be some days before it is reportei and even then it may not pass at this seinen as the bill is long and the session short This much Is certain, it will not pass with the provision to which the weekly papers object. Nearly every other senator has received protests as well as Fairtanks, though he is the first to act. CASES OF WOOD, GUAM AXD BELL. Their Promotion Regarded as an In justice to Other Officers. WASHINGTON, Feb. !. The Senate committee on military affairs will meet early next week to continue Its consideration of the nominations of Generals I.eenard Wood, Fred Grant and Franklin Bel' tobc brigadier generals. The especial objection to theni Is that their nomination is an injustice to other officers of the army. It is computed by members of the committee that In promotins Wood and Bell, ta ts prepared, they would each ta tdveoictd

over about one thousand officers who outrank them. Both are now captaln9 in the regular establishment. Bell being the fifty-ninth of that rank. It is further stated that In case General Wood's nomination U confirmed he would stand a chance of being lor fourteen years lieutenant general In the army. No disposition -is manifested to disparage General Wood's services in Cuba, but the contention is made tha'- his reward should not be at the expense of men who -have won their laurals as sold:ers. General Grant is regarded largely in the light of a volunteer and the feeling is quite general among members of the comii Utee that he should not be promoted over many officers who bfo served continuously in the regular Mny. , Xnvnl Ofllcers to De Renominated. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. It is expected tfat the President will, on Monday next, renominate all the officers connected with the naval victory off Santiago July 3, 1S38,

vhos'i nominations for advanced rank failed of action in the Senate many months ago. The new nominations will be Identical id character with those formerly sent to the Senate, with this difference: That tho cieration of the personnel law already has advanced many of the ofllcers whose names were on the Hst. and consequently the department Is obliged to make some recommendations to carry out the spirit of the board's instructions. Rear Admiral Sampson is advanced to rank after Rear A.dmlral Howell, the senior officer in his gt ado and next below Admiral Dewey. Rear Admiral Schley is advanced to rank next below Rear Admiral Sampson. The order of advancement in the case of the other officers is practically the same as ir the original nomination.

The officers of the War Department are making preparations for the reorganization of the artillery arm of the service, in accordance with the provisions of the new law. Under the reorganization the light batteries will be numbered' consecutively from one to thirty, and the coast defense batteries from one to 126. The Senate committee on Judiciary has been meeting daily for the past two or three days in an effort to secure a report upon the anti-trust bill which was referred to that committee during the last session of Congress. The bill has been amended in tome unessential respects, and hope is expressed that the bill may be got into acceptable shape during next week. Frederick Van Dyne, assistant solicitor of the State Department, acting as arbitrator for the parties in interest, has rendered a decision, awarding to William M. Handy, son of the late Moses P. Handy, the sum of $5,000 for services rendered by his father in the prosecution of the famous McMurdoo claim against the government of Portugal, gTowing out of the Delagoa Bay Railway construction case.

The War Department is making arrangements to replace all the United States magazine rifle, calibre 30, 1892, now in service, with later models of im and 1S98 of the same rifle. A circular was issued yesterday In regard to the subject which says that requisitions for rifles of the 18D6 and 1S9H models should be made in every cas-2 where the old model of 1892 (not converted to model of 1S96) is still In the hands of tho troops. A banquet was given by Grand Army men at the Ebbltt House last night in honor of General Rassieur, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. A letter from President McKinley regretting his inability to attend was read. Representative R.'W.

A letter bearing date of Dec. 7. 1900. from tho Governor of Guam, Commander Seaton Schrbedcr, to the Navy Department, speaking of the condition of the food supply after the hurricane, says that It will hot be necessary, after the first five or six months from date, to distribute food amongst tho-needy on the Island. The resources will begin to be productive by that Ime. The governor has taken steps to obtain from Honolulu a supr'y of seed sweec potatoes. In order to obtain a complete account of the service of the volunteer regiments In the Philippine islands the secretary of war instructed the commanding officer of each returning regiment to prepare, while, his command is en route to the United States, a succinct history of its services, giving dates and places of battles in which his regiment was engaged, the number killed and wounded, and other detailed data concerning its operations in the Philippine campaign.

Two Hebrews now at the academy testified that they have never been ill-treated on account of race and religion. The diligent efforts of the academy officials to suppress hazing are set forth. But it is pointed out that while there are seventy-two army officers at the academy, eleven persons are solely charged with maintaining discipline in a reservation of more than 2.000 acres and more than two miles long, over about 430 cadets. The committee considers it absolutely essential Xht more officers should be in the camp at all hours of the day and night. Cadet Sentence Commuted. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Cadet Albert II.

AX ILLINOIS RE1TDLICAX A3D WARM FUICXD OF LIXCOLX. One of the Founders of His Party and Commander of n Cavalry Regiment During the Civil War. HAVANA, 111., Feb. 9.-Gen. James M. Ruggles, one of the founders of the Republican party, died here to-day, aged eightyone years. General Ruggles was born in Richland county, Ohio. His uncle, Benjamin Rugr gles, was tho first United States senator from Ohio. General Ruggles went to Illinois in 1S33 with his parents, locating in Bath, Mason county. From 1832 to 1S3S he served in the State Senate, and supported Abraham Lincoln In his unsuccessful contest against Lyman Trumbull for the United States Senate. He drafted - tho first platform on which the Republican party was organized, being one of a committee of three, the others being Abraham Lincoln and Ebenezer Peck.

The robbers, John Hagerty, living in West Indianapolis, and Thomas Marley, of 41S South Missouri street, were caught about five minutes later after, a short chase by District Patrolmen Hagerty and Barmfuhrer, and the plunder was found on them. The patrolmen started down an alley near the chain works on Kentucky avenua and passed two men, before coming upon Bray who said, in a tremulous vole?, "There's highwaymen who've got my watch and money." Tho officers turned and saw the men turning into the street. They ga e chase and finally Patrolman Hagerty caught them at Kentucky and Capitol avenues. Hagerty grabbed tho robber who bore the same name, and when he reached lor Marley the latter thrust a revolver in his face. Just then Barmfuhrer came up and took charge of Hagerty and Patrolman Hagerty grabbed the gun held by Marley. The men were searched and the ring and watch and money were found on them. They refused to give any explanation of their doings, though Marley made admissions by saying, "Well you got us and got us 'fair.' " Bray said he was on his way home, when the two men Jumped out from cover and held the revolver to his face. He threw up his hands in response to their demand and was searched by Hagerty. Marley became dissatisfied when Hagerty found no money and said, "You didn't frisk him right. Let me do it." thereupon turning the pistol over to Hagerty and going through his pockets, finding a pocketbook containing a small amount of money in the overcoat pocket. Bray stayed with the officers until the men were put Into the patrol wagon, when he left saying, "Well, you've done me good, now I'll see what I can do for you."
