The BLIZZARD in rexas.

GALVESTON, Tex, January l6.-The Da.
kota blizzard struck the Gulf of Mexico At
this point at l O'Clock Sunday morning,
causing q fall in the temperature of 80 de-.
gTees in two hours. The blizzard came
upon the city with remarkable suddenness,
and without the slightest warning from
the weather bureau at Washington, the
bulletin ordering up signals and predicting
freezing weather arriving only thirty min
utee before the blizzard itself. From 62e
at midnight the mercury fell TO 29o by
daylight, and heavy sleet began TO
fall, covering the city with a coat of
ice. By Sunday evening telegraph and tel
ephone wires leading nom the mainland
into the city were ali broken down by ice
which had formed on them, and thecity
was entirely cut off from telegraphic com
munication for nearly twenty-four hours.
The weather is the most severe experienced
here since January, 1885. The mercury to-
day indicated 200 above zero. The ground
is covered with nearly an inch of snow. All
street traffic was interrupted during the
day owing TO the perilous, slippery condi-
tion of the thoroughfares. Owing to the
telegraphic interruption no reports regard
ing the loss and suffering TO live stock have
yet been received here, but the general
opinion is that as the weather is so cold on
the coast, it must be dangerously severe on
stock in the interior and Western parts of
the State.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee, from the
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries. reported the Dingley resolution
calling for information in relation to dis.
elimination in the tolls against American
vessels passing through the Welland
canal.
Mr.. DingIey, of Maine, said that the
Offering of the resolution had excited some
comment. In Canadian dispatch to a
Boston paper, semi. official denial is given
that any discrimination against American
vessels was practiced. In this denial, said
Mr.. Dingley, il was admitted that vessels
passing through the Welland canal bound
for Montreal and foreign ports were per-
mitted 20 pass on toll of 2 cents, while
other vessels bound for the lake ports
were charged q toll Of 20 cents
ton. IT was admitted also
that this discrimination was made
for the purpose OF encouraging the exports-
tion of grain by way of Montreal but
Canadian officials claimed that such a die
elimination was not in violation OF treaty
rights. 1t was asserted that SO long as the
Canadian government did not discriminate
against American vessels, as such, but only
against American ports. there was no sucn
violation. This ground, Mr.. Dingley con-
tended to be untenable. He had offered
the resolution in the hope that at al early
day the President would call the attention
of the British authorities to this discrimi-
nation In violation OF treaty, and in order
that Congress might be informed OF the

sion on account of Increase Of the disabil-
ity for which the pension is allowed.
MIR. Shaw, of Maryland, Chairman Of the
tion assigning clerks to all the committees
of the House.
Mr.. Perkins, OF Kansas, offered an amend
ment providing that every committee of
the House should have as many clerks as
there are members on the committee, one
to be selected by each member; that the
clerk selected by the Chairman shall be
Chief Clerk, and that the other clerks shall
receive q salary Of $75 month, and that
when member is on more than one COM
mittee he shall only have the right to ap-
point one clerk. (The amendment, which
is designed to give every member q clerk,
is drawn in this form so as to make Ii ger
name to the resolution, and not subject ii
to point OF order.)
After brief discussion, Mr.. Perkins
amendment was rejected-yeas Ga, nays
Isl, and the vote required upon the reso-
luton reported by the Committee on Ac-
counts. This was antagonized by the Re-
ppbiicans, for the reason that 1t provides
clerks for the Committees on Expenditures

response to question from Mr.. Randall,
Mr.. Shaw stated that it would only in
crease by two the number OF clerks author

duction was agreed to-yeas 124, nays SO,

in grossly misrepresenting the facts, are an
injustice to that State. When these rumors
were first set sfloat, the Times sent special
correspondents to the districts which were
said to be suffering. They investigated the
situation thoroughly, and I am, therefore,
enabled to tell just what the facts are. The
weather in Kansas has not been unusually
severe this winter. A few weeks ago
there was a scarcity OF coal in some quar-
tiers. owing to the inability Of the railroads
to furnish cars, bnt happily an abundance
of fuel was provided before cold weather
came. As to general suffering in Kansas,
it has existed only in the minds of ire.
sponsible correspondents. There has been
a large immigration during the past year :,
and naturally there are sporadic cases OF
destitution, which have been promptly
cared for in the communities where they
have occurred. All things considered,
Kansas is having a satisfactory winter,
with fine prospects for big crops. 1t is in
very much better condition than any -
newly settled territory.

DISCRIMINATION in Rate,.

WASHINGTON, January 16.-Argument in
the case Of George Rice, the petroleum
dealer OF Marietta, Ohio, against the
Louisville and Nashville and other Western
and Southwestern railroads, for favoring
the Standard Oil Company in oil rates, began
before the Interstate CommerceC Com mission
today. The hearing in this case attracted
considerable attention few weeks ago.
J. Randolph Tucker, OF Virginia; Judge
Loomis, of Ohio; Fran kiln B. Gowen,
formerly president of the Reading railroad
and A. ID. Follett appear as counsel for Mr..
Rice. Mr.. Follett opened the argument
to-day for Mr.. Rice and occupied most of
the day in reviewing the testimony and in
presenting general statement OF Mr. Rice's
grievances gro wing out of Discrimination
against him in the matter of oil rates.

Appalling Reports from Kansas

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, January I6,-Satur.
day AID last night were the coolest ever
experienced in this section the thermome.
ter registering l90 below zero Yesterday
morning, and at no time yesterday did the
mercury get above 40 below. A few cases
OF freezing have been reported to the police
10 this city, but the reports that come from
western Kansas are appalling. The bliz.
zard that ragged through that section a fe =
weeks ago left the people in such bad
condition that they were unable to stand
the severe weather of the past twenty-four
hours, and a large number of deaths from,
cold and starvation are known to have oc.
CURED. A carload of provisions was started
yesterday from Wichita, TO Ashland, Clark
county, but the storm stopped the train.
IL is estimated that 5000 people of Clark
county are IN destitute condition, and
unless immediate relief is afforded them
TIE number of deaths will be fearful to
contemplate. The pastor OF the Presbv.
terlan Church, at Hartlsnd, Kearney
county, writes tc the Aid Society implor
ing assistance for the people OF that section,
saying that II relief does not soon come,
hondreds must die.
Inc casualties among stock have been
greater that ever known In the State of
Kansas. Horses and cattle have perished
IN their stables, and the owners have been
badly frozen while attempting to care for
them. On the Missouri Pacific Railroad
two train loads of cattle coming in from
the west were caught in the blizzard, and
every animal was frozen to death, and in
Indian Territory the entire range is frozen
over, and the cattle are drifting badly.

Tho weather in Nebraska.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., January 16.-The
mercury reached % degrees below zere this
morning, but rose during the day, and in
dications are that the extreme cold spell
is over. The bo6y of the little daughter
OF Chris Bodine, farmer living twelve
miles southwest, who has been missing
since the blizzard of Friday, has been
found in ravine more than a mile from
the house. The little girl was overtaken
by the storm when returning from school
and within sight of home, but lost her
way in the binding snow, wandered about
and frcze to death. Henry Goldig, farmer,
while returning home from the city, was
overtsken in the storm and frozen so bad
ly that his bands and ieet had TO be ampu-
tated. Numerous cases of suffering are re-
ported among the poor, but no other fatal
tiles as yet.
