WASHINGTON, February 3.-Gen.
James B. Weaver of Iowa and the
Hon. Sidney Clarke, ex-member of
Congress from Kansas, addressed the
House Committee on Territories to-
day in behalf OF the organization OF
the Territory of Oklahoma.
Gen. Weayer stated thai the lands
are nov IN Ntfg Illegal possession o.
foreign and other cattle syndicat 81.
No Indians had occupied them for
twenty years, and it was not now the
policy OF the government to settle any
more Indians in the Territory. Every
consideration Of good government and
fair dealing with the Indians and the
people demand, he said, that this I'M
occupied land should be opened to
settlement under the well-guarded
provisions OF the bill.
Mr.. Clarke argued that tine only
remedy for the disgraceful state of az
fairs now existing in the Territory was
in Congress, and he urged the COM
mission to come to the relief of the
psople as against the rule Of illegal
monopolies and syndicates.

Ell PAso, TEX, February 3.-The
report of the comm snding officer OIL

batted great number of tame and
wild, Indians, probably over 200, led
by foreign UNITED States) officers,
and over twenty soldiers. Four Mexi-
cans are reported killed and four
wounded. The report also states that
they displayed no sign OF legality, as
was evinced as much by their strategy
as by the snimsls which they had,
and which l hold to prove they were
stolen. The report is dated from De-
lores Mining Camp, January Goth,

that the animals referred to in the

THE comment made and construc-

Lamar to this city by the New York
Tribune is really laughable, notwith-

He came here because his two daugh-

BLAINE is looming up again, and his

samuel Fessenden of Connecticut, late
of the Republican National Commit
tee, on Thursday, said to a reporter Of
tbs Cincinnati Enquirer; "There isn't
a Blaine man of all the hosts who
we're in Chicago in 1884 who is not a
Blaine man to-day. A few men who
were for him for policy then are osten-
sibly against him now; but they will
be for him again for the same reason
asin 1888. You can mark it down on a
piece Of paper in in6elible ink that
Blaine will be renomirated in 1888,

Vsntion shall meet. What is more, he
will be elected" Cleveland's manage

nominated, be defeated.

Civil Service. In reply to Mr.. Blanch-
ard OF Louisiana, the Commissioners
said they thought il would require an
amendment to the civil service law to
allow the commission. in making APP
pointmsnts, to take into consideration
the number OF employees already in
Office from the various States. They
did not consider such an amendment
wise. however, "a ii would tend to rem
der the whole civil service system I'M
popular with the North and West,
because under 1t the South would get
neatly ali the offices, and thus open
up 8 sectional question. Under the
law the South was now getting its
share OF the offices, and would in time
have irs proportion Of Offices. The
Commissioners did not think 1t wise
to do anything which would make the
law unpopular in the North, where its
strength now principally lies.

The Beverest SNOW Storm Ever
KNOWN I'm Tennessee.

NAsHvILLK, TENN, February g.
The snow.storm of yesterday and last
night was one OF the severest ever ex-
perienced in this State. The snow
continued increasingly from daylight
Tuesday to daylight this morning, full
twenty.four hours, and prevailed
throughout the State. The turnpikes
and reads in every direction are i'm
passable, and 1t Is probable that the
mails from oints off the railroads will
be delayed several days. At the Sig.
nal Service cffics II was learned that
the storm was more severe in Middle
than East or West Tennessee. The
snow at Memphis, Knoxville aud
Chattanooga Ia not as deep rs it is in
Nashville. Re Sorts received at the
Signal Service station from points In
Upper Middle Tennessee say the snow
drifts badly in that section, effectually
stopping all mail carriers and t,avel
generally. All stage coaches are snow-
bound, and do not hope to be able to
travel for several days.
All the city schools adjourned to
day, 1t being impossible fos the chill
dren 10 reach the buildings. The av-
erage depth Of tho snow boreis twenty
inches. Business wag practically sus-
pended throughout the city during
the entire day, and fsw vehicles Cf
any character were running. The
snow caused almost complete sus.
pension OF railroad traffic. There are
but few trains running. The rassen-
ger train on the Louisville and Nash
Vile road, due from the south at 7:20
O'Clock am, arrived at ~9:45 with
two engines. This train went through
to Louisville. All other trains on the
Louisville aud Nashville railroad are
unable to move on account Of the
block ade. The train which left here
last night on the st. Louis division is
mow-bound ct Guthrie, KY, on the
Nashville and Northwet tern road. All
traine, both passenger aud freight,
have been abandoned. The train
leaving here last night is snow-bound
at Waverly.
The Chattanooga train, due here at
$40 o'clock an, arrived at 1890
o'clock. This b the only train that
has arrived or departed on the road
to-day. The heayiesLspqw was found
at Tuliahoma, which place the train
left at 3 o'clock this morning. The
engine was buried under the STOW up
to the steam chest all the way. Mr..
Meany, the engineer, says sometimes
the snow ploughed up by the engine
flaw into the tender. The entire run
ming gear of the engine appeared TO be
one solid block OF ice and snow when
ii entered the depot.
The snow at Martin was reported TO
be twenty two inches deep. No trains
were running to or from that place.
In various parts Of West Tennessee it
was reported to be from twenty-five to
thirty inches deep. but no serious
damage was done. The roads hope TO
partially resume operations to-mor-
row. This is the first time there has
ever been a general blockade on the
Tennessee railroads.

its exclusive right acknowledged and
to epjoin the defendant company
from Infringing upon the plaintiffs

PENDANTS cover the whole history OF
