Heavy Losses Caused by the Blizzard In
Texas-RAnohmen sufier.
CHICAGO, Jan. pa dispatch from
Lampasas, Texas, says: Another blizEsrd
struck this section Saturday night. Re.
ports of the disastrous effects Of that un-
precedented cold spell Of last week con-
tlnue to arrive from distant sections sur
rounding this city. The loss Of sheep was
very heavy, owing to the fact that very
few ranches are provided with adequate
shelter for sheep. It is estimated that
fully 900 sheep perished in the counties
Of LAmpasLs, Brown, Hamilton, Coryell
and San Saba, all large wool producing
counties. Col. Charles Covington, Of
Ooryell county, lost eight hundred head Of
sheep In one flock. His ranch Is very
large and the sheep are kept in separate
aocks. The Others sought the shelter Of
the woods, but this particular flock came
up near the house at Bundown and lay
down in the drilling rain. Next morn
ing Col. Oovington concluded TO salt this
flock. When he scattesed salt on the
frozen earth, to his surprise, none Of the
sheep arose, and an examination revealed
the fact that. every one Of the large hock
was frozen stia. Their wool clinRiDg to
the ice, had prevented their rising when
the sudden change ot temperature came.

to kill Louise Michel at Havrs last even
ing.

ing Of Anarchists when man in the au-
dience, named Lucas, suddenly arose, and,
pointing revolver at her, fired two shots.
She received wound In the head and the
lobe Of one Of her ears was torn away.
Lucas had narrow escape from lynch

Of gen'darmes that saved him. He was
locked up.
A later examination OF the wounds re-

country possessed many advantages over
competing Nations, but he declared that
with all these advantages II could not
compete in manufactures with the Euro
pean Nations, because It was handicapped
In the matter Of wages. On this point
and on the additional point that the price
Of all manufactured articles had diminish
ed under the protective system. Mr.. Frye
supported his argument with numerous
illustrations, many Of them drawn from
bis own observations in Europe. As to
the surplus 1t was Democratic in capacity,
he said, which caused 1t and now the Coun.
try had to look out to see that the same
DEMOCRATIC RcAPAoITY
in administering medicine, did not give
poison and kill the patient. He was as
much against the surplus as the President
was, but he was not frightened at 1t. he
would rather have surplus than deficit,
II there was any honest purpose to get
rid OF the surplus, 1t could be done with.
out the slightest difficulty. In the fret
place, some Of It ought to be expended
wisely in coast deiences, in increasing the
navy, in building mp the merchant ma.
Tine, and in educating the people.
AS Mr., Frye concluded there was con-
applause from some Of the gal |
leiiss, which we're we'll filled, aud he was |
by several Senators.
MIR. Palmer gave notics that he would |
address the Senate to.norroW on the SUBJ |
