 LONDON, Feb. 14.-Mr. Parnen will arrive in London tonight from Paris, and it is now said that all the stories which have been cir culated concerning his intention of abandon ing his post and going to the United States are groundless. In certain circles also it is said that the reports that the coercion bill has struck terror into the hearts of the Land Leaguers and that their organization was to be dissolved are without foundation, and that the work of the League will go on all the same as if the bill were not in existence By many these assertions are considered as brageadocio, by others they are thought to be truthful

A BIG STORM.

Snow in nAbundanee-serious Obstacles to
 Travel.
 OMAHA, Feb. 14.-It is showing again. The storm extends west to Ogden. The overland express from the west to-day is now three hours late and liable to be much later if the storm continues. The weather was very pleasant yesterday. The Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy got it's first train here for three days about o'clock this morning. The Rock Island, Northwestern and Wabash are still blockaded. There have not been any mails from the east for three days. This is the worst delay ever known here.
 MADISON, Wis, Feb. 14.-Yesterday and to-day were very pleasant, but much snow had fallen previously. The Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway company has been unable to clear the tracks on the Watertown and Portage branch. A large force of men with snow blows are hard at work, however, and it is expected that the trains will be running tonight.
 2 DEs MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 14.-The Chicago Burlington and Quincy is the only road on which train has reached here since last Fri day, the trains on this road having plowed through the snow this morning. The other trunk roads are making slow pro- gress, as the snow can only be removed with shovels. One engine on the Fort Dodge road SGanQS Dur10O III u uTlIt UGH diAlSS 0OIbu LII Fort Dodge, where it has been since Friday night. Only the top of the smoke stack is visible It will be several days before trains can be moved with precision Travel on the highway is equally as bad.
 DUBUQUE, la, Feb. 1.-The railroads are digging through the snow drifts. The river road is open its entire length and trains are running.
