How TRAIN Cor STUCK IN THE SNOW.
Neao York, March 16.-A gentleman who
reached this city from Providence yesterday
reports that the train which left Providence
on the Lake Shore line at II o'slock on
Monday morning stuck fast in the snow
near Saybrook. The passengers on board
suffered terribly, being without food, water
or fire. Finally one of the pluckiest pas
sengers walked back to New London, where
he hired rig on which sixteen gentlemen
aud four ladies returned to New London,
aud from there reached Providence at 5
O'Clock Wednesday evening.

THE Shows DEADLY SHRoUD. -Ne,o
York, March 16.-As New York, with it's
outlying suburban districts, slowly energies
from ice and snow, further reports OF loss of
life from the late blizzard come in. Just how
many people have met their fate in the icy
blast OF last Monday will not be known for
some time. Nearly thirty deaths are, how
ever, known to have occurred. Tue vic
tins included alike warmly clad merchant
and th!nly-clad tramp, who gave up his
life while wandering an outcast III the
storm.
It is cloudy but warm this morning, aud
the snow is fast disappearing. The main
thoroughfares have been cleared, and ali
but few side streets are now passable.

WHY THE PROTECTIVE SYSTEM IS OPPOS-
ED.-The Richmond State says s'ths whole
opposition to the protective system can be
stated in the declaration that the Govern
ment should tax the people only for its own
support and not in order to furnish bounties
to few individuals engaged in only part
of the industries in the country. 1t de-
mands that the vast army of consumers in
this country, twenty six times greater than
the host that Xerxes viewed, shall be suf-
fered to keep for their own saving and
spending all their earnings, save only a
small part necessary to support the Govern
ment 1t denies the right of government
to require at the hands eff the people
that after paying to those from whom
they buy the necessaries of daily life
the natural profits of trade, are gula-
the world, they shall pay an additional price
on every Article they buy, as free gift to
a small class of capitalists who demand this
tribute as 3 recognition of their kindness
and generosity in furnishing employment
to not az much as one twenty third of the
workers in all the callings of our citizens.
1t denies, moreover, that even this small
proportion of the bread winners of the coun-
try are benefited by protection; for it could
only be benefited by protection, if it shared
in the increased prices consequent upon a
protective tariff, and that it docs not so
share is seen in the self-evident proof on all
sides that wages depend upon the law of
demand and supply, modified only SO far as
wage-earuers agree together as to the price
of their labor

The SUGAR KING OF THE PACIFIC
SLoPE.-Mr. Claus Spreckles is now in
New York arranging for the establishment
of his mammoth sugar-refinery. lie has
visited Philadelphia, and, after getting
through with prospecting at New York fol
location, will examine Baltimore for the

views between some of the managers OF the
Sugar Trust and himself, wherein it is in

JOHN 8. WISE SINCERE PIN conciud-

Wise has made with Malone, the Danville
Register says:
"We confess to great surprise that Mr..

be remembered that in selecting his dele
gates-at- large General Malone left Wise IN
the cold Whether this was the beginning
of the breach or the result of q quarrel al

But we cannot believe it is mainly indie
dendence which has caused Mr.. Wise to
resist the bossism of Malone. He submit

repentance comes too late to impress the
public with its sincerity"

The Funeral of Emperor william

1t was very cold Friday at Berlin, Ger
many, but the arrangements for the funeral
of the late emperor were carried out to the
letter. Troops wearing cloaks were rang
ed four deep in front of the Cathedral and
along the route, aud hundreds of thousands
eff spectators occupied the space behind
them. Every window slong Untsr Den
Linden was covered with mourning flags or
black drapery and at the street crossings
were massive pillars draped with black and
surmounted with Prussiau eagles. The as
pect of the routa Of the procession was
most imposing and entirely in keeping with
the deep sorrow and reverence Of the people.
The middle Of the roadway was strewn with
gravel and fir branches, and at the Parisen
Platz we're large Grape festoons entwinsd
with laurel. The Brandenburg theatre was
draped and triumphal arch in front bore
the inscription: "God bless you" The
procession left the cathedral at enc o'clock.
Owing to the severe weather the Emperor
Frederick was not present. Dr. Koegel de-
liyered his sermon while standing by the
side of the coffin, his text being, "Lord, now
lettest thou Thy servant depart in peace
according to Thy word, for mine eyes have
seen Thy salvation"
