DULUTH, Feb. 1S.-A heavy snow storm
is now in progress here and has been con-
tinuing since yesterday morning. It could
not have been more timely since the exten-
sive logging interests of this vicinity have
suffered materially from lack of snow. II
the weather now continues cold for the
next six weeks, the winters cut of logs
around the head of Lake Superior will not
fall far short of what was expected at the
onening of the season The lumbermen
are iubilant This slice Of solid winter
Will have the effect of quickening into life
all kinds OF business, which had begun to
lag on account of the mild winter.

up to Mahone's landing. The levee which
protects the Laconia circle broke Thursday

The river at p. IN. was fifty-three feet

The water is over the sidewalk over Front

BRIDGING NayIGABLE RIVERS.

z CINCINNATI, Feb 1S-The Chamber OF
Commerce to-day adopted the report of
the committee to whom was referred the
bill pending in Congress by Townsend, OF
Illinois, making a change in the law con
corning bridging navigable rivers. The
report opposes the passage of the bin and
declares that its provisions are antagon-
istic to the navigation of the western rivers
and particularly to the Ohio river.

DAKOTA


Governor Ordway furnishes the follow
ing: At the meeting of the House terrific
rial committee to day for the purpose of
finally perfecting the Dakota enabling act,
Delegate Pittigrew vehemently urged the
committee to strike out some of the safe
guards origininaHy proposed by Governor
Ordwav, one of which authorized the Chief
Justice, the Governor and United States
Attorney, to form 100 single districts for
the election of members on constitutional
convention; also a clause requiring that
the returns for members of the convention
shall be canvassed by the Canvassing
Board, after having been made up and
tabulated by the county clerks, in the
same manner that the law now provides
fer canvassing votes for delegates to Con
gress. Under Pettigrew's bill there were
to be but sixty members, to be elected
under the present Legislative system, and
having the canvass Of the county clerks
final, and their certificates sufficient to en-
title the member to a seat in the conven-
tion, with all the chances for a wrangle
over the rights of members to a seat VI hich
would be likely to consume a large amount
of the valuable time of the convention
The committee finally voted, with but one
dissenting voice, to adhere to all the pro-
posed safeguards, Notwithstanding Petit
CREWS protest that he would rather the bill
would be defeated than to have these
safegua rds retained.

THEY ALL LAUGH,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The republica-
ton here of the list Of names of prominent
men in connection with Shepherds Peru
vian company scheme affords a subject
more of merriment than anything else even
TO those whose names are in the list 1t
appears that the names were used promis-
cuously without any authority whatever
from the owners of those names. Con-
gressman Hewitt, of New York, saws he
received circular marked confidential and
that it informed him that the circular would
be called tor; that he put it in his desk
without giving it any consideration, and
subsequently somebody did call for it. He
not only never consented to the use of his
name, but nevsr took any notice of this
circular. The same state of facts apply to
other names used Shipherd seems to have
pursued Guiteau's plan of claiming the ac-
quaintance and association of public men.
II he knew their names or address, that
was enough. 1t is already apparent here
that he took unwarranted liberties with
public men, but his methods are so appar
ent that no serious consequences are in
volved. He sent circulars to parties and
without waiting to hear from them entered
their names as associates in his Chimerical
scheme. One amusing incident connected
with the publication of these names is that
Representative Belmont offered the resolu
tion calling for the submission of the list

sented is that of his father August Bel
