An Ice state of weather.

New York, Jan. 21.-The storm of
hail and rain which broke over this
city this morning originated in the
north west and has moved eastward
across the country. The officer in
charge of the signal service station said
that the storm will probably pass over

will be followed by clearer, cooler

amount of water which had fallen was
triffie over an inch, which formed SO
heavily upon the wires, connected with
wind that they broke under the weight

crease in force, and at noon it was over
forty miles. The flag poles swayed to

weather office the ice which formed up
on the staff fell upon the roof with
startling crash. The storm has caused
an entire suspension of telegraphic
communication Throughout the country.
The wires of the Gold and Stock COM
pany were interrupted everywhere along
Canal street. A great many poles have
been prostrated by the weight of ice
forming upon ice, and about 10 o'clock
this morning an officer of the first pre-
cinct reported that number Of poles

THE PONCAS.
The Commission Ready to Report on
the Case.
The Majority Favor the Popeas in
Their struggle.
But a Miserable Tool of schurz will
Make Minority Report.

Chicago, Jan. 81 Fridays Tribtme's
Washington special says: The members
of the Ponca commission have passed
a resolution of secrecy as to their pro-
ceedings and are preparing their re-
port, which they now expect to submit
to the president in about week.
No official information has been OBJ
tanned from the committee as to the
result of their visit or their report. 1t
is alleged, however, that there will be
two reports, majority and minority.
The majority report will support lib
bles and Bright Eyes, and generally take
the Boston side of the case, and will
be signed by the two military members
of the commission Generals Crook and
Miles), and by the civilian from Bos-
ton, Walter Allen.
The minority report, which will en-
tirely sustain the interior department,
will be signed by Stickney, of Wash
ington, the other civilian member of
the commission, who has had at diff
ferent periods come connection with
the interior department. Stickney, it
is understood, is the member of the
commission who telegraphed from In
dian territory to the president that the
commission could not hire Ponea to
return to Dakota. 1t was this dis
patch which the commission recently
reported was unauthorized. 1t is very
evident, that unless all reports are un-
true, therefore, that the story told by
the Indian chiefs here, was either not
their whole case, or else the majority of
the Ponca commission have been de-
ceived.
