Special 10 the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-It appears from
the reports of friends of Mr.. Evarts that
Senator Beck misunderstood the New York
senator when he spoke TO him after he had
finished his silver speech. The reports of
that time represent Mr.. Evarts as rushing
wildly across the senate chamber for the
purpose OF congratulating the Kentucky
senator. lie was represented as saying that
he would follow up his line of argument
when the senate met again. A friend of
Mr.. EyartS says the latter gentleman did
not go out of his seat to congratulate Mr..
Beck. but that short time after the speech
was delivered. Mr.. Beck passed behind the
New York senator's seat. AS he was pass
ing. Mr.. Evarts rose and shook him by the
hand, and then said to him:
Il will follow you on this same subject
when the senate meets again"
In this he indicated nothing but a con-
gratulation of the most perfunetOry order,
and when he said he would follow him. he
did not Indicate in the remOtest degree
whether he would agree with him or op-
pose him.
FRIEND OF THE PRESIDENT
tells story of how the latter sought to find
out Mr.. Evarts' position on the silver ques-
ton. The president asked Mr. Evarts
when the latter was calling on him before
the holidays about his views on silver
The latter replied by saying:
Il expressed my views very fully in speech
made before the silver conference at Paris
will send you that speech, but of course
will not expect you To read it
''But ] shall be very careful TO read II, -
said the president, 'if you send IL to me-"
The next day the speech came to the
president in the mail. He sat up late in his
library that night and read il through very
carefully. He was heard afterwards to say
that he regarded the speech as a very able
one, but after reading it through he could
not lind out Mr.. Evarts' exact position
The Boston speech of the latter has greatly
aggravated the mystery of Mr.. Evarts'
financial position. AS it is expected he
will deliver a speech sometime during this
month, in the senate, the curiosity which
has been greatly stimulated by his dipiO-
matte utterances will provoke very much
attention when he rises to speak on this
most important question.

Havoc Among the Shipping.

Boston, Jan. s.-Reports continue to
come in from points along the coast, which
show that the storm of last night worked
havoc among the shipping. A Province
town dispatch says: A large feet of schoOn-
ers, including fourteen three-masters, were

daylight, and finally went clear out of the
buoy. Her crew were in the rigging and
the vessel had apparently lost her rudder
and some sails. 1t was impossible TO aid
her. A number of coasters were probably
blown out to sea. The wind reached a We
locity of seventy miles per hour at one
time.

All hands are lost.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. e.-The loss
of the schooner Mary G. Farr, with every
soul on board, is perhaps the saddest dis
aster of the gale. The ILL fated vessel was
driven ashore and caught FIRE. but not

AIonRIheRaiIwars.

The continued cold weather is becoming
very serious to the operations of the rail-
roads. Yesterday all trains on the Iowa
q Minnesota division of the Milwaukee g.
st. Paul road were abandoned, and all ex-
cept the one leaving St. Paul at 4:3O p. m.
on the Minnesota 81 Northwestern. On the
latter line trains will be running to-day, the
track having been cleared. Trains on the
Hastings e. Dakota division of the Milwau-
kee & st. Paul road were abandoned with
the exception of one each way, and trains
on the River division were from four TO six
hours late. The Sioux City division of the
Omana line is being opened. and at o'clock
yesterday afternoon the snow was raised
some distance past WOrthington. Four
snow ploughs were working and several
crews of men, and it is expected the line
will be open for traffic by tomorrow. On
this line the snow drifted very badly, in
many places laying fifteen and eighteen feet
deep. The average, however, is from six
to eight feet. On the Eastern division of
the Omaha trains were delayed two hours.
Northern Pacific trains were four hours late,
while those on the Manitoba were nearly
on time. The temperature has been very
low all around st. Paul At Mankato the
mercury fell to 27o below. at st. James

Under the Ruins.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. o. All shadow Of
hope that Col. ii. NJ. Wright or Jabez
Balmforth escaped death under the falling
walls of their business house at Nos. S23
and SIS West Main street, last night. is dis
PEELED. Their bodies are probably under
five stories OF ruins, and II is calculated
that nearly weeks time will elapse before
they can be recovered. The engines were
kept playing on the fire all night, and no
further damage is apprehended, though the
mass of cotton and wreck of the building is
still slowly burning. 1t is pretty well set
tied that no lives were lost except those
learned. The heat is so intense about the
burnt square that il will be impossible to do
anything toward clearing it away for some
days yet

or, II not, 10 state why the law is not en-
forced. The various labor bills heretofore

In Minneapolis.

The Flour city is frequently referred to
as the coldeSt in Minnesota, and with some
degree of truth. Yesterday was only the
beginning of the cold wave here, yet Min,
neapOlis thermometers, at exposed stations,
showed record of more than sos below
zero. There is difference of 100 between
the protected street corners about Washing
ton avenue and those which feel, in the
city's outskirts, the full force of the bliz-
Zard. At Lake Calhoun yesterday morning
at 6 o'clock tested thermometer marked
"a below zero. AT Harding's drug store.
corner of Lake and Nicollet, at the same
hour, the temperature was SO below
while at Hoffiin's drug store. on Washing
avenue, only % below zero was shown.
There was scarcely rise of 10 during the
day, though the sun shone with great bril-
liancy. At noon. under the full light of
the sun, the thermometer at II. G. o. Nor
riSon's residence on Fourteenth street
showed 90 below, with Hoffiin's at 12o
Ate in the evening Hofflin's had gone
down to Il :, and at IL p. M. to 20 ,,
while at the same hour the glass at Cal
houn showed 32o below zero. It is be-
lived that by daylight this morning the gen.
eral temperature of the city will be 40 be-
low zero.
Throughout the day stiff northwestern
breeze prevailed, contrary to the usual ex-
perience in such intensely cold weather.
The streets wore a deserted appearance
quite foreign TO their usual busting at "
itv on Saturday afternoon, and the day wa:
pronounced one of the most trying ones in
the knowledge Of the oldest inhabitant.

Western Union Wires Down.

The Western Unions circuit to Chicago
along the Omaha railroad was broken last
night at 1880 o'clock, which put that CON-
panv to considerable inconvenience. They
were left, however. with two Quadruplex
wires and one report wire between here and
that city by way of the Milwaukee road.
The difficulty was caused by several poles
being down in East st. Paul. What caused
the trouble is not known. but il is supposed
that the intense cold caused the contraction
of the wires and the immense strain pulling
out the poles. especially at a turn, caused
them to topple over and carry the wires
with them. The principal lines Of the
Western Union company between here
and Chicago are along the Omaha
road and consist of four quadruplex
wires, equal to sixteen single wires,
which are handled by sixteen operators at
each end. The consequence reSul ing
from an accident TO them can readily be de-
termined. Saturday night. however, is
usually dull night in the telegraph busi-
ness. and by extra exertions all matter was
handled on the two wires left that run
along the Milwaukee road.
The wires of the Omaha road, which are
suspended on the same poles with the
Western Union. were put TO serious incOn-
venience. and the company was without the
use of their wires the greater part of the
night. A special engine was sent out with
line repairers on board at 2 o'clock this
morning to place the poles in position and
repair the lines

The Back of the wave Broken.

'Cold wave signal down." was the dis
patch that Sergt Lyons received from
Washington last evening. This" said the
sergeant, ''means that the force of the cold
wave has broken and warmer weather can
be looked for" The weather was growing
warmer at all Montana points yesterd ay,
but was getting colder at ST. Louis aud
other Southern points, showing that the
wave was rapidly extending to the south.
Reports last night from Winnipeg stated
that the Thermometer was rising. and the
observations from all points indicate that
the weather to-day will be much warmer.
The thermometers yesterday indicated from
10 to 20o below zero in st. Paul the whole
day. The coldeSt weather reported from
anywhere was Minnedosa, Man, where
the mercury went to SO below zero.
Cloudy weather and light SHOWS may be
looked for to-day.
