Negotiating with a Defaalter.

QUEBEC. March l2.-It has transpired that
Mr. Cyrus Field, jr., of New York. who was here
q day two ago, had long interview at the
st Louis Hotel with George M. Bartholomew,
the Hartford, Conn, defaulter to tho tune of a
couple of millions and ex-president Of the
Charter Oak Life Insurance Company. Mrs
Bartholomew is cousin of Mira Cyrus W.
Field. sr., and it is conjectured that the in
terview in question had some bearing upon the
negotiations for Bartholomew's return. That
he has hopes of removing the financial and legal
difficulties that stand in the way of his return
to his Hartford home appears evident from the
fact that his wife and family continue to reside
there, though Mrs. Bartholomew pays frequent
visits to her husband. Mean while, Bartholo-
new has rooms in a private boardn ghouse here
and bnsies himself with correspondence, which
he dictates for hours at a time to q stenog-
rapher.

The storm az washington.

WASHINGTON March 12-The storm that
visited Washington yesterday was one of the
most remarkable known for years; in fact. the
capital seemed to have been the center of a
miniature cyclone that brought with it blind
ing succession of rain, snow. wind and cold. In
the early hours of the day the cutters ran high,
and in many low places the sewers were blocked,
thus flooding the streets. The heavy rain con-
tinued until about o'clock in the afternoon,
when il turned to binding snow, which stuck
to everything it touched and turned to ice. AS
the night fell he heavily laden telegraph wires
began TO come down. and in many places the
streets were blockade by them so that street
cars had to turn around and make partial trips.
The police wires were out OF order. and
to add TO the discomfort of the night, tho cleo
trio lights began to fail By midnight the city
was almost in darkness. save for few feeble
gas jets that had flickerad through the storm.
AT the Signal Office to-day it was learned that
the storm was the result of the splitting of
storm that on the day before yesterday. ex-
tended south from Michigan. Saturday night
it divided. forming two storm centers, one over
Lake Erie and in Georgia The South
ern center then began climbing mp the coast,
striking Washington yesterday morning. The
center itself did not reach here until about 3
o'clock in the afternoon, when the rain changed
to snow. This took until nearly midnight to
pass, the total rain fall amounting to about one
and shree-fourth inch The wind reached velo-
city of twenty-six miles an hour at midnight,
but subsided to about twenty miles this morn
ine. OFF Cape Henry the wind was
blowing ffty-fve miles yesterday. The
railroads leading into Washington have been
bockaded by snow fallen trees, telegraph poles
and wires. so that the movement of trains has
abandoned. Late this afternoon, however, two
trains struggled in over the Baltimore s.
Potomac road but no attempt at regularity is
thought of. At the Western Union Office it is
learned that in its effect upon the wires the
storm was of the worst ever known here. Wash
ington has been completely isolated since Sun
day night at o'clock. Hardly a single wire
north, south. east west is working. SO that
such trains may be out west creep along
without orders. The wind has kept up high
velocity all day. and at 9 O'clock tonight had
not abated. The sky is perfectly clear.
and il is growing colder. The morning and
evening papers of to-day appeared without tele-
graphic information.

THE ARREST OF MARSHAL MEADE.
The Governor of chihuahua Explains the
Ground on Which 1t Was Made.

Ell PAso, Tex, March 12.-Senor Lauro Car
rillo acting Governor of the State of Chihua-
hua, Mexico, is here. Janos, the town where
United States Marshal Meade. of Arizona, was
arrested by Mexican authorities, is in the State
of chihuahua, and therefore within Governor
Carrillo's jurisdiction. Governor CarrilIo is
fully informed about the arrest. and said yestsr-
day: 1.-THE United States officers were arrested
because. without either authority under the
treaty or permission from the Mexican officials,
they were found in Mexico in arms in pursuit of
alleged train robbers. The arrest was made by
Mexican customs officials. I v7as informed as
promptly as a courier could carry message
from Janos to chihuahua. ride of a day or
more. at once telegraphed the facts to the
City or Mexico and requested instructions from
the federal government. was directed to order
the United States officials released, but not to
return their arms to them. I dispatched this
order to Janos by courier, and suppose that
Marshal Meade and his aids have been re-
leased before this. The Mexican authorities
would gladly have detailed officers to join the
United States officers in pursuit of the robbers
had such a request for aid been made The
action of the United States marshal was clearly
without warrant, and could not be overlooked"
The Mexican authorities say that there is no
treaty or convention now in force authorizing
officers OF one government to cross into the ter
ritory of the other government in pursuit of
between the United States and Mexico, some
time ago. permitting the officers troops of
either governments to pursue hostile Indians
across the border, but that convention has ex-
pired. 1t Is reported that FIVE Americans were
arrested at Janos-United States Marshal
Meade, deputies SheDbell and Will Smith and
two trailers. 1t Is also reported that at the
time OF the arrest Meade and his posse were but
TWO hours behind the robbers.
