Great Storm Paralyzes Traffic in the Northwest. TEMPERATURE BELOW ZERO. Wind Blowi a Gale of Fifty Miles an Hour and Snow is Piled in Dri.ts Many feet Deep. St. Paul, Minn.. March 17 North Dakota and the Canadian northwest has experienced the worst snowstorm in many years, and railroad traffic is practically paralyzed.

Winnepeg is reported entirely cut off from railroad commur ication with the outside w ,rM.

who have arrived this week are statement that the majority memknown to have gone on to their hers of the rules committee, who

claims with nothing but tents or board shanties, and their fuel supply is limited. Advices from the northwestern part of the state say that old settlers are driving over the country and rounding üp the " tenderfoots" to see that no one is frozen. It is probable that there have been heavy losses of cattle and sheep. The cold wave was ' general throu:hout the Northwest. In the Dakotas it was a blizzard.

A foot of snow fell there, and

the velocity of the wind was

fif tv miles an hour. The tern-1

It was 6 below at Manitoba points. To the southward the cold wave worked through Kan sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Ninnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, reach ing Illinois and Indiana last night. It is predicted that the mercury will fall to six degrees above zero tonight. Crazed By Army Life.

Washington, March 17 Af ter weeks of deliberation the house committee on rules has de cided to report a resolution pro viding for the appointment of a special committee to investigate the operation of southern elec tions and the representation of southern states in the house. The resolution is the result of the unanimous recommendation of the republican caucus. Reprecaucus, was unsuccessful in securing a report from the committee until Saturday. The friends committee on rules and thought it looked as If a systematic effort was being made to defeat the caucus action. They were very much gratified, therefore, by the are also busily engaged in cornposing the party differences that have arisen over the Cuban tariff question, had found time to carry out the suggestion of the caucus as to tne southern elections investigation.

HAS PASSED THE SENATE

Ship Subsidy Bill Goes Through By Small Majority. Six LestUng Be public an Senators Vote Against the Measure and intimate Failure is Almost Certain. Washington, March 18 After a prolonged debate the Senate yesterday passed the ship subsidy bill, the final vote upon the measure being 42 to 31. Senators Allison and Dol liver of Iowa, Spooner and Quarles of "Wisconsin, and Proctor and Dillingham of Vermont, Republicans, voted against the final passage of the bill, and Senator McLaurin of South Carolina voted for it. These six republican votes recoruea asrainst the bill was a blow between the eyes which staggered the promoters of the measure in their hour of triumph. It robbed the bill of its boasted claim of beinsr a ReDublican measure. Though the bill had eleven majority, it counted for less than a bare majority of one when three of the most influential republican leaders in the country and their colleagues voted with the opposition. There would have been other republican senators against the bill but; for the Tilpdcrpc thpv "hn1 crR-on to Jrrll . 7 . Frve and Hanna to vote for it. From the beinnin nf tha onn. sideration of the shinning bill Senator Frve and Hanna havo C3 hoped to make it satisfactory to Senators Allison, Spooner and Proctor because of their prominence as leader. AiiUnn nfTom a number of amendments, some which were adopted, but his prin cipal amendment, rjrovidinff that no vessel shall be entitled to full compensation unless she shall have cleared from an American port with a cargo equal to fifty per cent of its carrying capacity, was defeated. This amendment was regarded as important by Allison, Spooner and Proctor, and after its. rejection they deciueu iv vuie againsi me 0111. With the exception of another amendment offered by Allison and accepted by Frye, limiting the time of the operation of contracts made under the provisions of the bill to July l, 1920, and providing that the amount of the expenditure under the mail subsidy paragraph should not at any time exceed $3, 000, 000 annually, none of the amendments agreed to materially affected the bill, as it was reported from the commerce committee. With iv rpnnhii,an COnnc voting against the bill the hope l v-""lio I of Frye and Hanna to present it to the House with the endorsement of the Republican senate is gone, These six senators form an important nucleus for opposi tion.

Toledo Factory CoIIaps. Toledo, O., March 18The big plant of the Toledo Metal Wheel company, employing near ly eight hundred men, which stands along the Lake Shore railway, collapsed iustas a westbound passenger train passed the building. It fell across the track and barely missed the rear coach. Had the collapse occur-

red two seconds earlier every occupant of the coach would have benkilled. Haditoccurredduring the week it is believed hundreds of lives would have been lost. It is supposed that the 'continual passing of trains had such effect as to cause the walls to weaken until they collapsed, REDUCTION NOT ACCEPTABLE

Some Republicans Are in Opposition to Cuban Reciprocity. Washington, March 18 The meeting of republican members i - opposing tue ways and means committee on Cuban reciprocity lasted an hour and resulted in an agreement not to accept any compromise involving a reduction of tariff duties. This in effect is an instruction to insist upon the re bate plan as against the reciproc uy plan. The meeting was at tended by fifty-two republican members. A resolution had been framed by Representative Taw ney and this served as a basis of action. The discussion was all opposed to an agreement which would reduce. the tariff even tern porarily. It was finally agreed, however. to give this understanding an at urinative aspect, namely, that any plan for the relief of Cuba would be acceptable if it did not involve a reduction of the tariff Wrecked a Safe; Got $20. v AMAC, ind., March lb A SanS of bank robbers at 3 o'clock I il . , , , . lIlls mormng, wrecKea the tenton safe of the Citizens' hank, at ou" Vyliy Äli mn east 01 ims Piace Ane neayy outer ana ia ner sei aoors oi tne sale were tora f rom their hinSes by the ex PIosi(?D- The thieves attempted 10 u mio tne money vault, which contained 15.000, but were frightened away by the arrival of citizens- They got only $20 for their timo anJ trouble.

BRAVERY OF BOER

Their Galantry Praised by Pretoria Correspondent. METHUEN WAS VERY GOOL British Infantry Cool Compared With the Panicky Mounted Troops Men Encouraged by Methuen. London, March 19 Describing the disaster to General Methuen, the Pretoria correspondent of the Standard repeats the details already given in Lord Kitchener's dispatohes, and adds that General Methuen identified the Boer advance when it was three miles distant. The correspondent praises the gallantry of the Boers, who, he says, charged heedless of the hot fire poured into their lines, and contrasts the cool steadiness of the British infantry supporting the guns, whom not even the Boer charge almost up to the muzzles of their rifles could shake, with the blind panic which unnerved and stampeded the mounted rear guard. After placing the convoys in the kraal m charge of Major. Paris, continues the correspondent, General Methuen galloped back to the guns on the right. He encouraged his men by voice and gesture and became a conspicious target for Boer marksmen, who concentrated their fire on him as ho rode from point to point. When Commandant Colliers unmasked a couple of fifteen-pounders aud began shelling the kraal, that position became hopeless, and it would have been under the circumstances nothing short of madness to look for any favorable issue. The only means of preventing unavailing loss ot life was surrender. The Daily Mail this morning says there are still such heavy demands for horses in South Af rica that there is no real reserve at the Cape. The war office is becoming alarmed at the heavy cost of providing horses, and has again enjoined Lord Kitchener to grater care in the expenditure of horse flesh, as the market price is rapidly rising. Mute Soldier Saves Girl. Chicago, Illinois, March 19 George L. Howe, the young soldier who created a stir during the recent visit of Prince Henry in Chicago by attempting to pass a lettler to the Prince, saved a young girl from probably severe injury yesterday afternoon before leaving for New York. The young man was on his way to the depot, and was crossing the street at Dearborn street and Jackson boulevard when an auto mobile approached. The girl was directly in its path, and both she and the driver of the auto were unaware of her danger. Young Howe ran forward and pushed the girl out of harm's way. Jiowe, wno was deprived of the power of speech by a bul let which passed through his throat while serving in the Philippines, win try to rejoin the army in New York. PLOT OF ANARCHISTS. Attempt to Murder a New Jersey Min uter. Elizabeth, N. J., March 18., An attempt was made to kill the Rev. Mr. Houst, pastor of the German Lutheran church of this place, last night. The police beieve that the would-be assassins were Italian anarcmsts. Alter the s hooting of President McKiney Mr. Houst preached a ser mon in which he denounced the anarchists and declared they should be driven out of the'eounry. On November 28 last his son Ivan mysteriously disappear ed and the minister subsequenty received threatening letters in which it was said that the boy was in hell and that the father

also would be sent there. Some weeks ago' his little daughter was met on the street by a young man who tried to entice her into ä house, but she began to cry, attracting the attention of passers-by and the man took fright and hurried away. Last night Mr. Houst heard steps on the porch of his home and went out to investigate. As he did so he was knocked down by a blow on the head with some kind of a blunt instrument. While he was prostrate one of his assailants kneeled on his chest, threw a cloth over his face and shoved it inte his mouth as a gag with one hand, while with the other he drove a knife into

the ministers chest, inflicting a deep chest wound. The wounded man was iouuci by nis wile and physic.an was called.
