A TRAIN THROUGH.
Communication Opened Between
Washington and New York.

Communication Opened Between
Washington and New York.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The efforts
of the railroad men to open cOmmunica-
ton with the North succeeded at 10
| o'clock tonight, when the train which
left New York at 9 o'clock last night ar
rived, after a hard, slow and tedious
trip. Persons who were ON the
train say their experience was with
out precedent in this part of the country.
The storm broke in its fnry when the
| train was nearing Philadelphia, and
speed had to be slackened. Philadelphia
was reached, however, without very
great difficulty, but after leaving that
train hands going ahead with lanterns to
give notice of Instructions on
the track, Telegraph poles. wires, up
rooted trees and distractions of all
kinds were found lying across the rails
at frequent intervals. The passengers
aided the railroad men in removing the
ObstructiOns and after great labor Will
mingtOn was reached, little beyond
wldch the cars were
STOPPED TO AWAIT DAYLIGHT.
One passenger estimated that 300
poles were removed from the track be-
tween Philadelphia and Wilmington.
After daylight the train slowly worked
its way to Washington, frequent stops
being made for the removal of OBJ
structions. A later train brought
in the Philadelphia papers, twelve
hours behind time, while tho
New York papers. which usually
reach here at 1O:45 a. m. had not arrived
here at midnight. The track between
Baltimore and Washington is now re-
ported clear, but, as all the wires are
down, trains have to proceed tediously.
The Western and Southern trains
are coming in slowly, and
passengers on the former report
but little damage done aside from the
interruption to telegraph business.
They were much surprised when in
formed of the damage caused by the
storm, and said that its effects
were hardly noticeably forty
miles west of here. One of the
southern trains had the windows
of one of the cars smashed in by fall
ing telegraph pole and several passen-
gers were Slightly hurt. The railroad
| people tonight are hopeful of having
the tracks sufficiently clear tomorrow
to admit of more or less general re-
| sumption of traffic.

A SURPRISE.
The Developments in Gresham's
Court Cause a Surprise.

Court Cause a Surprise.
CHICAGO, March 12.-The develop
ments in Judge Gresham's court were
disagreeable surprise to railway man
ayers. They had expected ruling
which would clearly guide them as to a
safe course to pursue, but the result de-
cided nothing. Even the question as to
whether the Wabash engineers will now
handle Burlington cars remains to be
decided. Receiver McNulta said late
tonight that he had received no notice
whatever from the representatives of
the engineers employed on the Wabash
that they would or would not handle the
20" cars. Chairman Hanavey, of
the Wabash engineers grievance
committee, told a reporter that
the men were strongly averse to
touching car belonging to the Bur
lingtOn, but as to what would be done
when a case presented itself he absO-
lutely declined to say Or even to tell
whether he knew. Chief Arthur said
shortly before midnight that the Wa
bash men were greatly excited, but for
his part he would rather not see them
take radical position. The Wabash
would handle little Burlington freight
in any event, and the fact that the
road was in the hands of q areceiver,i
who is the officer of federal court,
complicated matters to such an extent
that there was danger the brotherhood
might become involved in false issue.
ANY action taken by the Wabash men,
said Mr.. Arthur, could not at all be con-
sidered a precedent by other roads. Mr..
Arthur was just returning from the
theater, whittier he had gone with his
son, who arrived yesterday from Cleve-
land. The chiefs absence from his
headquarters during the evening gave
rise to the rumOr that he was in consul
tatiOn with President Perkins, and that
settlement was in sight. MIR. Arthur
denied the report explicitly.

they cannot recover. No cause is as

religious community or creed. Every one
of them stands equally near my heart,
for all have shown equally complete de-
yOtiOn in times of danger. In agree
ment with views of my imperial father,
I shall warmly support all efforts calcn-'
lated to improve economical prosperity
of different classes of society, to cOnclli-
ate their opposing interests, and, as tar
as it is in my power, to prevest unavold-
able perplexity without, however, rals-
ing expectations as though it were pos
by state intervention. Closely bound
up with social questions Il regard that Of
education of youth. Efforts to this end
must be on higher scale and more easily
accessible. We must avoid Gre
ating dangers by partial ed
ucation and awakening demands
which economical powers of the nation
cannot satisfy. We must also be care
full that through One-sided efforts for in
creased knowledge the task of education
shall not remain neglected. Only the
generation growing up upon sound
basis,
IN FEAR OF GOD,
and in simplicity of morals can possess
sufficient rising power to overcome
dangers, which in time rapid economi-
cal movement arise for the entire COM
munity through examples set by highly
luxurious individuals. 1t is my will
that no opportunity be lost in the
public service to offer every
opposition to the temptation of disprO-
portiOnate and improper expendi-
lures. My unbiased consideration is that
every proposal of financial reform be
assured in advance. Unless long proved

fresh burdens, and effecting
an alienation of the demands
hitherto made upon the country. Self
government granted to the greater and

slider beneficial. On the other hand, /
would suggest for examination of the
question whether right of levying
taxes conferred upon these cOmmun-
tiles, which is exercised by them
WITHOUT SUFFICIENT REGARD
for the burden simultaneously imposed
by the empire and my state. may not
weigh unfairly upon individuals. In
like manner it will have to be considered
whether, in simplifying matters, change
in organizing authorities whereby re-
ductiOn in the number of officials
would permit increase of their emolu-
ments, should we succeed in maintain
ing in their strength the basis of the
state and social life. 1t will specially

science shows so rich measure for
realizing. These are my intentions,
and counting upon your well proved de-
votion, and on the support of your tried
exerience, may it be vouchsafed me
thus, with the unanimous cooperation
of the organs of the empire and de-
voted activity of representatives of the
people, as well as all officials, and the
trustful collaboration of all classes
of population, to lead Germany
and Prussia to new honors in do
main, in pacific development. Careless

Future Course of Germany.

LONDON, March 12-The Russian and
the French newspapers devote more
space than those of any other nation to
speculations on the probable future
course of Germany. The st. Petersburg
press is especially active in this particu-
lar. The opinion in that capital proves
to be that if Frederick lives for any
reasonable length of time there will be
marked change in the German policy,
and one favorable to Russia and her
schemes. Frederick is believed by the
Russians to be opposed to Prince Bis
marck's scheme of alliance against the
czar. 1t is felt that even if the illness
of the emperor deprives him of the
energy or prestige required to over
throw Bismarck'S ascendency, his
wishes will be sufficient to prevent any
warlike action, and matters will remain

OMAHA, Neb., March 11.-JOhn Sher-
man, of Des Moines, TO-, nephew of

for the purchase of the late SIP Rounds
paper, the Republican. On being ques-
toned as to the purpose of the purchase
Mr.. Sherman said it was not to be made,
if made at all, in furtherance of his un-
cle's candidacy, although the paper
would support him, and he would be
consulted before the purchase was
made. Mr.. Sherman was very reticent
about his plans and purposes with re-

that Senator Manderson, who owns
stock in the Republican, and who is
strong Sherman man, suggested the idea
of buying a controlling interest and

AT WASHINGTON.
The Center of a Miniature Cyclone
1.-The Worst Storm Ever known.

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 miniature cyclone
that brought with it binding success
sion 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 continued until
about o'clock in the afternoon, when
it turned to a binding snow, which
stuck to everything it touched and
turned to ice. AS the night fell the
heavily laden telegraph wires began to
come down, and in many places the
streets were blockaded with 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 dis
comfort of the night, the electric lights
began to fail. By midnight the city
was almost in darkness save for few

tanned by it during the time in which it
was not able to transact it's own busi-
ness. And now having fully answered
said petition, the respondent prays that
the same may be dismissed at petition
er's costs, etc. After the Wabash an
swer had been read, showing that Re
ceiver McNulta had Saturday, the 10th,
revoked his previous instructions and
ordered former business relations with
the "Q'' road resumed, Judge Gresham
asked the representatives of the 80"
what position that left them in in the
suit, and Mr.. Dexter replied that the 20"
STILL DESIRED THE ORDER
from the court which was originally
asked for. They desired this that they
might feel assured that the Wabash
would not again refuse to receive their
freight, as they had already done. They
still asked further that the court issue
the desired order restraining Chief
Arthur and the Brotherhood from order
ing or causing strike on the Wabash
or any other road in consequence of the
action of these roads in hauling 20"
freight. Arguments were made at
length in support of the "Q'S" position,
and were answered at equal length by
the attorneys for the Wabash. At the
close of the arguments Judge Gresham
practically gave his decision when he
said that he did not think the 30" had
any case in court. "The Wabash has
granted you all you ask" said the Judge.
1T has promised to receive your freight,
and now you ask the court to issue an
order Furnishing the Brotherhood of LO-
cOmOtive Engineers for an alleged crime
which they deny, and against the wishes
of the general manager of the road, who
is an officer of this court" While the
judge thus indicated what his decision
would probably be, he announced that
he would take the matter under advise
ment. The prevailing opinion in the
court room after the close was that the
judge would refuse to issue any order
touching the action of Chief Arthur or
the brotherhood, on the ground that it
is beyond his jurisdiction and properly
regulated by the state laws.
