The GREAT SNow-SToRM OUT
WEsr.-CHEYENNE, Wy. T. March
13-All railroads to this place are now
open excepting the Colorado Central,
which has still about eight miles of
hard packed snow to clear. The Den
yer Pacific train reached here at noon
to-day. Trains from the west on the
Union Pacific came through this morn
ing. The coaches on the Black Hills
stage line depart daily, but will doubt
less be much delayed in going through.
The loss of life from the storm will be
considerable. On Thursday last par
ty of FIVE men, Joe Connoy, H. j.
McCann, Charles Wilson and Messrs.
Card and Kantz, left Laramie City for
hunt. They were caught in the
storm. The bodies of the last three
named were found yesterday at Coop
er's Lake, twenty miles west of Lara
mie. Connoy's body and the bodies of
the two horses were found this after
noon. McCann is still missing. Stock
men here anticipate only small loss
in cattle, probably 2 per cent, and in
sheep per cent. The weather here
to-day is clear and warm. The snow
is rapidly disappearing.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. March IL.

WASHINGTON. March IL.
Officials, as we'll as the lay brethren
of Washington society, appear to have
just walked up to the fact that we are
stuck for the little triae Of S., 600, 900,
in the matter of our down east fish
cries, unless we elect to back out of a
bad bargain through the loop-bole of a
technicality. Now that we have fairly
turned our attention to the little matter,
it becomes painfully evident that
brother Jonathan" acted in the mat
ter without his usual caution and clear
headed forecast; and it is so potent to
every one taking the trouble to investi-
gate that he was overreached, that no
attempt at denial is heard It would
be hazardous to predict what Congress
will do in the premises; but it is
entirely safe to say that the feeling is
almost universal about the Capitol that
the utmost advantage has been taken
of our error in accepting as third re-
feree, man so gangreued with preju-
10 favor of the British side, as to have
been utterl y unable to grasp the equi
ties involved, even admitting the cor
rectness of Mr.. Fish's estimate of his
honesty. The consideration that will
appeal most torcibly against any appro-
priarion to pay the award is the fact
that its payment would not be any bar
to other claims, quite as absurd as those
on which the award was founded. For
the past few days-since the settlement
of remonetization gave time to consider
other matte1s-this business has been
uppermost in some circles, and from all
that can be gathered it would appear
prudent for our Canadian cousins not
to count too confidently on immediate
payment.
The Ways and Means Committee
have already matured the Burchard
savings bill, The Banking and Currency
Committee have the Phillips postal
savings bill about ready to report, and
the Senate has just passed Wallace's S
bill for long bond for the investment
of savings. The end sought by all
three is about the same--a safe and
convenient investment in Government
securities of the small savings Of the
laboring classes. The idea is very
popular among members of Congress
and the only opposition likely to arise
..,il be due to rivalry. 1t is believed
that some such measure will have been
perfected and passed before adjourn
ment. Very little progress has been
made by Congress since the passage of
the silver bill. The fortifcation bill
has got through. but the ship Of state
grounded some time on the proposition
to appoint ten "experts," to Glover's
scandal-monger Committees. 1t seems
Polk, with all his ingenuity, was una.
Bile to provide for all the whisky-guz-
zIers, stool-pigeons and other dead
beats about town. Hence it is charged
that ten of them are to be provided for
in the way above indicated.
Eph Hollands utility man is still
urging his plan for abolishing the army
as the first step in the programme to
wipe it out and then to create new
one, oficered by Ex-Confederate braves
How long is this conspiracy to be toler-
ated +?

CINCINNATI, March I4.-Advices

The SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL
RoADs.-WAsHINGToN March 18th.
Tom Scott has carried one point.
The House judiciary Committee to-
day refused to grant way to the South
ern Pacific over the Texas Pacific line
in Arizona. The Arizoua Legislature
passed a charter in the interest of
Huntington. authorizing him to con-
struct a road along the line of the road
of the Texas Pacific, and giving him
indemnity from taxation for four years.
The charter comes up with the Terrific
rial laws of Arizona to Congress for
approval. The judiciary Committee
have reported adversely upon the pro-
oeedings. Stanley Matthews, in the
Senate, will also antagonize this char
ter.
UNUSUAL APPEARANCE OF TUE
CIscoEs IN GENEVA LAKE.-GENEvA
LAKE. Wis.,. March l2.-The curious
cisco fish gathered in considerable
numbers yesterday in the bay of the
axe here, approaching quite near the
shore. Very few boats are launched,
but several of our anglers succeeded in
capturing sixty-fve of the beauties
from the Newberry steamboat landing
with the hook and various kinds of
bait. This is very unusual run of
cisco, as they only appear about ten
days in June, when the "cisco fly" is
on the wing. it is accounted for that
upward of 100000 of game fish have
been propagated during the past five
years and turned loose in the lake, and
it is supposed that these new fish are
driving the cisco from their old winter
haunts at the bottom of the deepest
portions of the lake. The California
salmon, in particular, are believed to
occupy the same feeding grounds at
the cisco. It is feared that this
remarkable fish will become extinct ir
this lake in few years.

The RlFLEMEN.-NEw YORK,
March 13.-The American National
Rifle Team of 1877 have voted permis
sion to Tiffany & 60. to place the Gen.
tenniaI palma trophy in the Paris Ex
position, provided no foreign team
accepts the American challenge to
contest for its possession.
The Directors of the National Rifle
Association, at their last meeting,
appointed committee to consider a
plan for selecting the American team
for 1878. The team of 1877 argued
yesterday that the "National' Associa-
tlon was but local organization, and
supported this view by citing the fact
that this Northwestern Rife Associa-
tion had local trophy which was shot
for last year and won by the Irish team,
and the Northwestern men were going
to send team this year to Irelaud after
it. thus ignoring altogether the author.
ity of the National" Rifle Association.
The teap Of last year, agreeing that
they are the guardians of the trophy,
and, therefore, the proper body to
arrange for the selection of team
which is to defend the supremacy Of
American rifemen against all comers,
instructed their captain, Gen. Dakin,
to appoint committee to consider the
matter and submit plan at the next
meeting of the team.
The National Rifle Association has
ordered the Creedmoor ranges to be
opened on the 1st of April, and has
arranged for the erection Of hotel
upon its grounds.

THE AMERICAN SECTION AT THE
PARIS EXPOSITION The preparation
OF the American section at the Paris
Exposition proceeds rapidly and salts

h I'VE been so great that it has been
determined to enlarge the annex now
under construction. The building VIII
contain 10000 square feet, instead OF
10000 as was orr ginally intended
The result will be that the structure
will extend up to the main street, and
will be finished by characteristic
facade. The detailed drawings of the
national facade, which will face the
interior of the Champ de Mars, are
rapidly progressing; and the American
engineer, evidently to his great salts
faetion, is buried in work There is
every prospect Of arrangements being
made for establishing Miss Southwick
and her New England cabin in the
park. More than 100000 people
visited this characteristic exhibition
during the Philadelphia Exhibition.
The cabin, with its inhabitants, gives "a
representation Of the old pioneers In
New England. 1t is propbesied for
| Miss Southwick and her characteristic
colony as great success at Paris as
she had in America. The French
authorities are anxious to institute az
American bar at the Trocadero.

that Governor Nichols (La } has deter

Anderson's case until the courts dispose

as the courts are concerned, Governor
Nichols says that he will act, and let

,, DISCOVERIES. -Ther baS *
IA in the minds of many ;'eopie,
.snscally those mos: caIcu!at % be
a.,sa in such matters. that at one
pc our Territory, and especially the
W. r".o,n portion Of it, was inhabited by
h L. Of mammoth human beings, or
~, as we'll as by animals OF CORES
s"nsirp mammoth proportions. Dis
lp"series of bones and skeletons from
90 10 time, buried deep IN the bowels
IS the earth, leave in our mind no
" 5anh, Of the correctness of this long
u D,..;no idea. The latest proof Of
-. nroposition is shown by the follow
80 well authenticated discovery: a
ELECTION of fossil bones were discover
81 by party of men who were grad
no a road from Wawawai to the top OF
/. Pill north of Snake river. The fossils
have the appearance OF having been
r".mmoth human being. From com
nn,a,;ous made, it is estimated that the
former possessor Of these bones was
man some thirty feet IN height, and
who would weigh about two ana one,
half tons. The bones when lound
were embedded in the solid rock, thirty
feet under the Surface Of the ground
in such a perfect manner as to leave no
doubt ss to their being those OF a hu-
man being. We were once shown the
bones Of what scientists pronounced to
have been those OF horse, which had
been found in the same section of
country, but they were of the other ex-
treme, showing by comparison that
their former possessor could not have
been larger than an ordinary sized
dog and yet they demonstrated that
the animal was full grown before over
taken by death. 1t remains for the
scientists of orr land to ferret this mat
ter out. and there is certainly large
range and extensive field for study in
our Territory for scientific men.
