The last Legislature Of Missouri en-
acted high license liquor law soon to
go into effect. Its provisions protect
minors and habitual drinkers, establish
financial responsibility on the part OF
saloon keepers and owners of property on
which liquor is sold. prevent the unlaw-
fa! eale Of liquor on Sunday, and place
the rates of license so high that the
number of saloons must be very largely
reduced. The authorities of the State
announce their determination to enforce
the law to the letter, and it will be to
the interest of those who take out Ii
censes under it to see that it is in nc

ing the rage in the States of the West,

temperance than any other place ever yet

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 19.--The fourth
joint ballot for United States senator to-
day resulted: Thayer, IS; Willard, 16; Nor
ton, 10; Henderson, s; Stickel, 10; Saun-
ders. y; Gown. II; Brown, s; Vifqualn, o.;
Conner. 6; balance scattering. Very little
change from yesterday. The assembly
then adjourned. The Democrats again
voted solid for their party man, as did the
anti-monopolists. The Republicans, not
so particular. voted promiscuously. 1t
was known before the balloting commenced
that an election would not result, and the
interest therefore was of an Indifferent
nature. There is a growing desire, how
ever, to have done with the trouble, and it
viii not be surprising if the end is reached
tomorrow. Those who have been masquer-
aiding under false colors, it is thought, Will
be compelled to show their strength, par
t icularly Willard, who has been leading
the race sometime. The friends
Of this gentleman are hopeful
of the result, and hope ne can
be elected tomorrow sure. The scheme IS
to yet up a stampede in his favor, to make
or break him at once. IL is believed that
the Willard men will stick to him only so
long as he seems to have a reasonable
show of success. 1t is the field against
Willard, with the odds in favor of the field.
The vote for Saunders is thought not to
mean anything. 1t will probably be used
for Thayer or Crounze, should there come
a favorable opportunity.
LINCOLN. Neb., Jan. 19.-The fourth
Joint ballot for United States senator took
place at 3 p. m. to-day, with the following
result: Thayer 16; Willard 16; Morton -;

curry was 13 below, at Georgetown, Col, 26
below, at Yankton, d. T., % below. Re-
ports along the st. Paul g. Manitoba road
showed that the cold was equally as great
there. At st. Cloud the mercury in the af-
ternoon marked 25 below,wit a good deal
of wind and snow while the fury OF the
storm was increasing. At Willmar the
storm was increasing, with the Their
mometer at 25 below. The snow
was also drifting badly. North from Will
mar the mercury showed from 81
to 40 below, accompanied with bowling
wind and heavy snow. At 2 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon the worst storm ever
known occurred at Crookston. The mer-
curry marked 40 below and there was no
indication of any abatement. All around
where this storm reaches the evidence of
intense cold was plainly observable.
On the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul
road the eastern trains were on time. On
the Iowa q Minnesota division tn e
trains that were to have left
at 4:3O and 7:lO yesterday afternoon
were wholly abandoned, and it was not
known when they would move.
On the Hastings & Dakota road there is
a general blockade, and the train that left
st. Paul yesterday morning got as far as
Glencoe, where it was abandoned.
The Minneapolis q st. Louis road was
open up to last night, but the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern was closed up
by the storm, and the result was that the
Albert Lea route was closed up against
travel. All the passengers by that route
were sent East last night over the "Royal
route"
The Sioux City or Western branch of
the Chicago, st. Paul & Omaha road was
wholly closed against travel. The fierce
storm that swept down through Montana,
Wyoming and southern Dakota, struck the
western end of this road Thursday and
closed the road west of st. James. Yester-
day it closed that portion of the road east
of st. James. The Kansas City train that
left st. Paul Thursday succeeded in getting
through, but it was a tight squeeze. The
train due at st. Paul at noon yesterday was
abandoned at Lemars. There were
no trains yesterday between st. Paul and
Sioux City. It was the intention to send
a train out yesterday afternoon to Manka-
to, but the storm was so serious that the
attempt was abandoned as wholly imprac-
t1cable. All trains on the Chicago, st.
Paul & Omaha to and from the East were
on time.
The Northern Pacific road suffered a
good deal yesterday, but as it has a good
snow bucking service, the interruption to
travel is not likely to last long. The train
that should have reached St. Paul
at 7:40 yesterday morning was stopped
at Fargo to give the snow
plows a chance to work the road clear, and
there is no doubt the trains will be running
again to-day all right. At 8:15 last night
they made up a train and started out from
st. Paul the Pacific express, and expected
to get through on time.
The st. Paul & Manitoba road was in the
same fix that the Northern Pacific was yes
terday, and trains were stopped with the
expectation THAT they would be restored
to-day.
The st. Paul q Duluth road was undis-
turbed

G0mJetta's OratOra.

A Paris correspondent writes to the st.
James Gazette: "The chief secret of
Gambetta's power as an orator was that he
allowed his emotions to carry him along
with them, as seemingly helpless as a leaf
IN the tempest. He employed none of
those tricks of o%ratory, none of those
studied gestures which are the stage car
pentry of the tribune, the sheet anchor of
mediocrity. Gambetta's characteristic ell
oquence was the language Of passion; it
was not until his whole being was shaken
and convulsedby the storm within him that
the Jeers of enemies were silenced and
men who detested his principles grew
pale with excitement and surrendered
themselves for the time being to the magic
OF his influence. l was in the chamber of
deputies when Gambetta delivered one of
his last great speeches. He walked up the
steps of the tribune listlessly; his face was
unusually flushed; he seemed oppressed
by the summer heat and doubtful of him
self. He commenced speaking slowly,
almost hesitatingly, and in such a low
voice that every head was bent forward in
order to catch his words. There was no
mighty swing of the ak against the tree
he wished to fell, but a d~ilatory chipping
of the bark that was positively
irritating to those who expected
to see the giant rush at once to his
task. Presently some murmurs arose in
the house, some soothing from the reac-
tionary side. Gambetta's nostrils dilated,
the red hue of his face changed to pale
olive, his fingers clutched the rostrum
n%ervously, and his voice at each success
i've period rose to a higher tone. Fresh
Interruptions came, in which the orator
perhaps caught some bitter personal al
fusion. Then he began to pace the tribune
a Gagged lion. His massive head was
thrown back and his eye flashed defiance,
while period after period was Numbered
forth with such a volume of sound as to
drown the rising tumult. From that mo-
ment and for fully an hour afterward the
chamber was s~pelIbound.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 18.-Among the
bills favorably reported to the house was
one regulating the liability of employers to
make compensation for injuries sustained
by employees; also iring allrequ railroads
in the state to be fenced in in order to pro-
tect cattle. A bill was introduced to pre-
vent unjust discrimination by raj lroads in
the transportation of passengers and
freight. The bill recognizes the distinc-
ton drawn by the constitution between
necessary discrimination and unjust dis
elimination, and prohibits greater charges
for shorter than for longer distances over
the same road in the same direction for
the same classes of freight, the jury to
Judge of the circumstances in each case.

Il Terrible Storm.

The railroads in the Northwest and in
Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, are expert
encing the effects of a storm that appears
TO be more widespread than any that has
been known in this region since the build
ing of railroads in this latitude was com
menced.
This storm seems to have come out of
the frozen North in the British territory.
Its approach was preceded by a cold
streak that continued to increase in in
tensity till the solid storm itself made its
appearance. It seems to have followed
along down the Rocky mountains into the
Yellowstone valley, and from that point it
swept the whole length of the Northern
Pacific road. While a part of the storm
swept over this road to the lakes another
part seems to nave torn through Wyoming
territory east of the Rocky mountains
down through Nebraska and Kansas, and
thence through southern Dakota, Iowa,
and Minnesota. 1t started about Wednes-
day and struck the Yellowstone on
Thursday, and has been making
it's way east and southeast at a rapid pace.
We had intimation OF the approaching
blizzard on Wednesday, when we received
information that the mercury at Crooks
ton, on that day, showed 81 below with a
corresponding cold belt all the way up to
Winnipeg and all throughout the extreme
Northwest. On Thursday the trains on all
the roads got in on time and no serious de-
tention occurred though the cold was re-
ported in the Northwest to be very severe
indeed. Yesterday, however, the storm
made itself felt on the Northern Pacific, the
st. Paul & Manitoba, and the Omaha or
western branch of the Chicago, st. Paul
& Omaha road, the I. d NJ. division of the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul, the Hast
ings & Dakota, on all of which travel was
suspended. The mercury indicated in
tense cold all day Fri5ay.Starting at Brain
erd on the Northern Pacific road and go
ing west we lave 10 degrees below zero, at
Valley City, "a below; Bismarck, 80 below;
Mandan, 80 below; Dickinson, 40 below.
This was the lowest point. Going west
from Dickinson the mercury
at Glendive, in Montana ter
ritory marked % bslow. At Forsyth,
80 below, Miles City So, below, and at
Billings 20 below. The intense cold was
moderated almost one-half from Dickin-
son west to Billings. At Denver the mer-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-In the house Mr..
Moore, of Iowa, introduced a joint resolu-
ton proposing a constitutional amend
ment granting congress the power to pro-
vide by appropriate legislation for the le-
gal enforcement of the obligation of con-
tracts entered into by any state of the
Union. Referred to the Judiciary commit
tee.
A resolution directing the military com
mittee to investigate charges of misman-
agement of the Hampton Soldiers home
was adopted.
Mr.. Bingham, Of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the committee on postoffices
and postroads, reported back a bill provid-
ing that whenever it shall become necessa-
ry to increase the speed at which the mail
is carried on any post route, the service
shall be re-advertised for the reduced time
required. Sent to the house calendar.
Also a post route bill, which was passed.
Mr.. Hiscock endeavored to dispense with
the private business for to-day, but failed
to secure the necessary two-thirds vote, and
the house went into committee Of the
whole, Mr.. Rich, of Michigan, in the chair,
N the private calendar.
At 2 o'clock the committee rose and the
house passed two private bills. A war
claim bill then gave rise to some debate,
and the yeas and nays were ordered on its
passage, pending which on motion of Mr..
Robson the house at 3 o'clock adjourned,
and a Republican caucus was held imme-
diately.
