OF the steamship City of Chester. and char
actsrizes this storm the greatest that can DOS
sibly occur on this planet. The greatness of
its extent Is the only hope of safety in any
quarter. He makes sly hit at the Canadian
and United States authorities for not hcistipg
STERN signals until after the storm was
actually beating upon the continent. Some
people, he adds, expected an impossible
storm yesterday, but he repeatedly said his
oolest Ia making his prediction was for the
safety OF mariners, as no danger could posi-.
bly, occur ON land, except in the vicinity Of
the places named as being exposed to q tidal
wave; but people like to be fright nee, aud

NAsHINGTON FACTS AND RuMogs

WASHINGTON Feb 2O-The republicans
in the house will, it is understood, hold a
caucus tonight for the purpose of consid-
eriug the situation and determining the
course to be pursued for the remainder of
the session.
The republican members of the senate
took advantage of the late hour al which
that body decided to convene today. and
held caucus lasting from / 80 till II. A
pretty general discussion of she situation
was had and unusually frank expressions
of opinion indulged in. Some speakers
advised the abandonment of the tariff bill,
on the ground that its further dis
cussion was utter folly and waste
of time; that it had been abundantly dem
onstrated that no tariff bill can possibly
pass this session, and each day seemed to
place the republicans themselves farther
and farther from any possible agreement
on the final terms and rates of the bill.
On the contrary, it was urged that the bill
