New York, Jan. 30-The fury of the
storms which began Thursday and which
swept the railroads of northern and east
ern New York with snow, was not spent
until Saturday afternoon, but the rail-
roads, up to that time, completely at
their mercy, began q vigorous fight
against the drifts, which ended in o COM
plete victory. Unless more snow falls
to-day, the blockade OF New York by
snow may be said to have ended.
The New York Central & Hudson
River railroad, as soon as the snow had
ceased falling and the wind had stopped
blowing Saturday afternoon, ordered ont
an army of men to clear the tracks and
soon the road between New York and
Albany was literally lined with men while
the huge snow pillow went plupglng

than the v OF the cars. \ Passengers

The Pence of Eurane.

Pesth, Jan. 2S--In the lower house of
the Hungarian diet to-day Premier
Tieza, replying. to the Interpolation OF
Herr Helfy in reference to Russian mill
tary preparations to Austria's position
regarding Bulgaria, 20 the ACCESSIBILITY
of the government taking the initiative
in summoning an international confer
| ence to settle the Bulgarian affair in the
sense of the programme of 1885, and as
to whether Austria might count upon
the alliance of Germany and Italy in
case the efforts now beng made to main
tain peace did not succeed. emphatioaily
declared that there was no ground to
doubt the reciprocal bona ide desire OF
the powers allied for the preservation of
peace and for their own security. In
consequence of the marked lis
placement OF Russian troops and
their transfer in the direction oil
tine Austrian frontiers, the government
without doubling the czar's pacific dec
larations, and avoiding all semblsnce of
~provocation, considers it its duty to see
that necessary measures were taken to
assure the safety of the frontiers and the
efficiency OF the army in case of Rn
emergency. The alliance OF the central
European powers had never been any.
thing but a league OF peace, purely de-
~fensive and foreign to any aggressive
action. He hoped the peace loving
monsrchies and governments would sue,
coed in maintaining peace and removing
the feeling of insecurity which welghf
heavily on Europe.
Herr Won Tisza warned the house no,
to believe newspaper kilograms ani
rumors, which, he said, were either
bourse maneuyers or 'feelers." he
denied that Count Kalnoky had met will
strong opposition in regard to his politi
cal decisions. It was also untrue tina
Count Bylandt Rheidt, the Austrian wa
minister, had asked q wa credit ant
had been refused in consequence of Her
Won Tisza's objections, Further, Their.
was no ground for the suggestion tha'
the monarchy was unable to rely upor
Its allies to perform that which ii wal
justified in expecting from them. Re,
garding the military measures that hat
been adopted by the government, he said
Every knows that we aim at no ex
tension OF our influence in violation o
treaties, nor at an increase of territory
as has been falsely attributed to u.s."
Herren Helfy and Perczel. replying {,
the prime minister delared that nobod.
in Hungary desired war. The house
amid loud cheering, passed q resolution
taking cognIzapce of Herr Won Tisza'
declarations.

democrats the positions at the hospital
occupied By the appointees of a repub-
licsn board. The administration having
secured the victory will hardly lose sight
OF the motive. 1t is, however, the IN
doubted privilege OF press and public to
file q protest against the contamination
of q public wrong. Under the direotlon
OF Superintendent Crsvens the admins.
~tratlon of hospital affairs has been ad-
mirable. There are few who can equal
him in management and none who Gan
excel him. No change can be for the
better and the probabilities are that al
most any change will be for the
worse. When everything is 30 sat
isfactory it is almost a crime against an
unfortunate class to again enter the
field OF experiment and subject the
insane of Dakota to the hazard OF in
competent or inefficient management.
We advocate the cause OF Superinten-
dent Cravens entirely outside the realm
of politics. We do not know whether
he is a democrat or q republican, though
we have been many Years personally ac-
quainted with him. And we do not care
what his politics are, if he has any. 1t
ia true that he was appointed by a re
publican board, but 1T wes never asked
whether he voted the republican ticket
or the democratic ticket and the sthree
Ysnkton members of that board do not
know to-day which of the two political
parties enjoys his preference. Tho
position was never considered @ political
position and il is o disgrace
full reflection upon q democratic admin
istration that it should have gone 80 far
as it has to transform the south Dakota
hospital for the insane into o partisan
institution. We cannot but agree with
the Mitchell Republican that o change
in the SUPPLEMENTARY OF the hospital is
the most undesirable thing that can
occur.
