Furious Storms.

DENVER, Jan. S.-The blizzard in
Eastern Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska,
which subsidized on Wednesday and al
lowed the snow blockade to be raised, was
renewed late Wednesday night with great
vigor. demolishing telegraph wires for
miles and re-flling the cuts Of the Santa
Fe, Burlington, and the Union and Kan
sas Pacific roads. Snow and sand have
accumulated to such an extent that all
travel was compelled to suspend. Not a
single train left Omaha or Kansas City
for Denver yesterday. No trains have
arrived from the East or departed from
here since Wednesday night, when the
temperature in Colorado fell fourteen de-
grees between midnight and 5 o'clock.
Very little snow has fallen during the
storm. Immense numbers of cattle have
been driven from the North by wind and
drifting snow toward the Arkansas river,
where they will have to stop, as the river
is not frozen 30 that they can cross. No
great loss is expected unless the cold con
tinues two or three weeks. Plenty Of
grass is uncovered to keep them alive.
To-day has been warm and the n is
melting. The storm is thought to have
reached its worst.
CHICAGO, Jan. s.-The blizzard raging
at present throughout Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Dakota and Minnesota is
declared 10 be of the widest extent and
more fierce in character than has been
known before in years. All western
trains are behind time. Many have peer
showed in and abandoned, and very little
can be learned concerning them or of the
effects of the storm owing to the blowing
down Of telegraph poles and wires and the
stoppage Of Geographic communication.
The temperature throughout Dakota is
stated to be from twenty to forty below,
with wild blizzard blowing. A telegram
from Fargo says the thermometer regis
tered twenty seven degrees below at noon.
Yesterday was described as the toughest
experience hat city has yet had in the
way OF bOisterous weather. Bismarck re-
ported a high wind with the thermometer
thirty-6ve degrees below. A high wind is
prevailing. At Sioux City. la, the tenn
perature registered twenty degrees below.
Omaha registered twenty degrees below.
Telegraphic communication with Omaha
has been cut nearly all day. California
kilograms were being sent by way Of ST.
Paul and the Northern Pacific, with only
one wire working. A telegram from Des
Moines, Ia, says the cold wave continues
there with high wind and drifting snow.
All through trains west of there are
blocked and branch roads are showed I'M
der. The Chicago and Burlington trains
are stuck fast in drifts about fifteen miles
south of Des Moines The Wabash road
south from that city is badly drifted.
Fort Dodge and the narrow gauge roads
have been abandoned. A snow storm
prevailed throughout Illinois all day. The
weather has not been very severe so far,
but it has been growing colder to night
All roads to Omaha are reported prac-
tically blocked in Central Iowa.

Wyoming,s National park

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The lease Of
the Yellowstone park privileges which was
made to Rufus Hatch by the government
has been the cause of a good deal of
trouble. The creditors of Mr.. Hatch
who have been represented by Congress
man Gillian wanted to have the old lease
continued so they could realize something
out Of the big hotel that has been built,
as well as other property. The matter
has been before the interior department

tary Muldrow adversely to the
Hatch creditors. A new lease was or
dercd to be drawn with a syndicate, the
principal members Of which are Charles
Gibson, Of St Louis, John c. Bullitt and
@. B, Wright, of Philadelphia, and Fred
X. Billings, of Vermont, the former
president OF the Northern Pacific railway.
The new 1yndicate is to have the privilege
Of erecting SIX hotels in various portions
of the park. to establish stage and tele-
phone lines IL thought desirable, and to
put a steamer on the lake. They arc to be
subject to the surveillance OF the superin.
tendent of the park, however, who is to
survey the sites for their hotels, and the
secretary Of the interior is to FIX the rates
at the hotels and for transportation.

vices from Yokohama state that the
Japanese government has liked the
standard of variation in their silver coin

four. A solemn high mass was celebrated

the death of King Alfonso. All the digni-
taries Of the state and imperial household
