WIND AND SNOW.
Disastrous Local storms at Denver
Much Damage 10 Properly.

DENVER, December GA snow and
wind-storm visited this section last night,
which in disastrous effects Is without a
parallel in the history of Colorado. The
snow commenced fallingat noon and con-
tinued all night. The weather was warm
and the snow attached itself to the tele-
phone wires until they were two inches in
diameter. At 4 o'clock this morning
the wind blew almost a gale. In about
half an hour 500 poles, eighteen inches
diameter, We're blow down, carrying the
mass of wires. Fifteenth, Eighteenth and
Lawrence streets for three squares are
bloekaded.' All trains we're aeiayed until
this evening. Every side communication
is completely cut off. The telephone COM
panies will probably lose $4,000. The
damage to railroads, telegraphs, electric
light and district messenger company is
heavy. Strangely, no loss Of life is re-
ported, and few serious accidents. The
storm was entirely local.

can candidates for Presidential electors,
and to one additional delegate for ma
iority fraction Of 10000 votes. The vote
for Presidential electors is taken as best
indicating the real strength of the party in
any district, being less liable to be affected
by local causes. The effect of this
proposition, if adopted, upon the
States and the convention is shown
by the annexed table, compiled by
the application of the Presidential vote of
1880 to districts as then existing. The ap-
plication of the same rule to the present
districts, under the late apportionment,
could not just now be readily made, ow-
ing to the lack of necessary and accurate
information, but will not materially change
the relative strength OF the several States,
and will only increase the total member
ship of the convention about eighty.

TEXAS SLAVE SUITS.
Furtaer Facts Regarding the Action
Soon to be Brought Be-
fore the
Court Of Claims Mt WashingtOn-Tht
Suits Brought i'm Good Faith
Upon the
Advice OF the Best Lawyers I'm Texas
The Legal Aspect of the
Case.

ST. LOUIS. December 6.-Further facts
fore the Court of Claims at Washington
for the recovery OF the value of slaves in
Texas are as follows; 1t is alleged that
the State was admitted to the Union un-
der peculiar and different circumstances
from any other State, and this action will
be brought in good faith on the advice of
someso OF the best lawyers in Texas, and
without any idea OF creating political eN-
element. The negotiations for the annex
alton OF Texas began during Tyler's ad-
ministration, and the joint resolutions pro-
viding for the annexation of Texas passed
Congress and were approved by the Presi-
cent March !, 1915. These resolutions
contained conditions and guarantees, the
most significant of which in regard to the
present case are as follows:
Section 3. New States of convenient
size, not exceeding four in number, in ad-
dition to the said State OF Texas, and
having sufficient population, may here
after, by consent of said State, be formed
out OF the territory thereof, which shall
be entitled to admission under the pro-
visions of the Federal constitution, and
such States as may be formed out OF that
portion of said territory lying south Of
360 30 north latitude, commonly known
as the Missouri compromise line, shall be
admitted into the Union with or without
slavery as the people of each State asking
admission may desire.
The Texans took advantage of this, and
in framing the State constitution under
which they would be willing TO come into
the Union, thGy stretched the slavery
guarantee to limit which the lawyers of
the present day think makes the United
states government responsible for the loss
of slave property. At the next Congress
of the United States this constitution was
submitted, and provoked a long and bitter
struggle, and it is noted that the clauses
in it upon which this litigation will be
based, were then pointed out as not only
Objectionable, but dangerous, and virtually
making Congress guarantee slave property
The constitution was finally accepted,
however, and joint resolutions adopted
admitting Texas into the Union.

SENATOR FRYE is preparing a plan OF
representation in the Republican National

to be given TO each district for every 10000
Republican votes, or majority fraction
thereof, given at the last Presidential cleo
ton. Mr.. Frye is having tables prepared
showing how this would affect the mem

submit them to the committee.

The winners.

Sue, winner of first money, is by Druid
Ruby. She is three and one-half years
old, has had considerable experience in
trials, and is the mother of two litters OF
pups. Gladstone's Boy, her oldest pup, is
entered for the Derby, though only ten
and one-half months old, and is claimed
to be the finest-iooking dog of his age in
the country. His owner, DR.. Ware, has
refused $500 for him. She has eleven
pups three months old. OF these, two
have been sold for 500 each, six more
500 has been refused for each. Sue ran
in the Minnesota field trials on prairie
chickens in 1882, and was second, Don
winning first. She won first last year at
Grand Junction. In the Louisville field
trials last year she won three heats, and
was withdrawn by her trainer against the
wishes OF her owner, who was absent. AT
High Point, n. c., two weeks ago, she
took two heats, but was not placed, owing
to condition. She is showy, rapid
hunter, and now ranks with the best.
Gath, who took second money, is by
|. Count Noble-Peep O. Day. This is breed
ing that ranks with the best. He is two
and one-half years old. He appeared in
the puppy stakes last year without win
ming. At the recent meeting at High
Point, n. c., where there were forty-one
in the field, he won first money, beating
such famous entries as Grousedale, Don
and London. Many claim that no dog OF
his age is superior to him, and his work
during the past few weeks ranks with that
of experienced veterans.
Foreman and Dan divided third money
Foreman is by Dashing Monarch-Fairy
Second. He is fine young dog, and ran
very close heat with Gath. He divided
second and third money at the Louisiana
field trials last year. At the late trials at
High Point, n. c., he was defeated. Don,
the only pointer in this stake, is probably
the best pointer in the country. He took
first prize at the chicken trials in Mime
sofa last year, and divided second and
third money at the recent trials in North
Carolina. He is handsome dog and a
good hunter.

MIR. MCDoNALD, who it is generally un-

and with that office in view is Kept con-
stantly before the eoIntry by his friends
and admirers, is in pericc! accord with
Mr.. Carlisle rs to tariff reform anil the ex-
tent 10 which it may presently be carried,
aud he says:
Under the closest economy tho expenses Of the
government. including The pension list, cannot
bc reduced below StDO,uOO,vI), allowing that the
receipts and expenditures of the postal service
will balance each other. Last year under iayOrn-
BILE circumstances we collected about y2l6,UOOOD
from customs and SIZE, ,OOO,OOn from informal rev
.uus, making u total of SSl ,OOOOOO. This gave n
Eurplus Of one seventh Of the revenue, which we
could do without. | do not think we should make
fayUr collecting enough from internal revenue to
pay the interest on the public debt create q sink
ing fund foe its Gual eNtiDguishment, and bear n
part of the peueun expenditures To meet the
ordinary expenses should be tho object of the
taFiil. and the present laws can be greatly modi-
fed and the tax more cquitably adjusted. But
however desirable this end, / would not favor
making s9ch haste to its contamination that n
shOck TO the legitimate business Of the country
would follow.
This is the position Of the Democratic
party ON tariff reform in nutshell, and
clearly stated.
