WITH SNOW AND WIND.

The Winter Season Sets iii Furiously All
Over the East.
PIrrsBuRa, Dec. ia furious wind and
snow storm has prevailed here for several
hours. Telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires are down and business is prac-
tically suspended. On railroads no freight
trains are running, and the passenger
trains that struggled through were late
from one to six hours. The pecuniary loss
resulting from the storm cannot be esti-
mated, but it will necessarily be very large.
This city being almost the storm center has
suffered more severely All branches of
trade, especially railroads, street car lines.
mess and causing total stoppage of opera
tions in the oil and stock exchange.
Through the breaking of electric light
wires, three horses have been killed,
two drivers knocked unconscious and one
street car, filled with frightened passengers,
was set ablaze in a moment. Police switch
boards and telephones have been burned
out and as result outlying police districts
are isolated. Millions of tons of coal are
lying in the back water from the dam and
should rapid thaw ensue the greatest
damage would be along the rivers.
Reports from the country districts show
even greater damage, owing to lack of
facilities for transportation. At Bed
ford, Pa, two feet of snow is reported,
with complete blockade of the lumber bus
mess along the Blue and Laurel Ridge
mountains. West Virginia and eastern
Ohio have suffered greatly and the situa-
tion is growing worse. A sudden flood is
the greatest calamity now feared. At IL
O'Clock tonight snow is still falling and
has nearly reached the two-foot line. A
few roofs have been crushed in by the
weight of snow.

Tho Republican Senators Determine Upon
Two Measures.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA caucus of repub-
lican senators tonight adopted the fnan-
cial scheme reported by the Caucus commit
tee, with the exception OF the 2 per cent.
bond project, which WAS eliminated. The
measure will provide for the purchase of
So, 100000 worth of silver bullion surplus;
reduction of the compulsory requirements
of bond deposits by national banks; the
extension of national bank circulation to
the full amount of their bond deposits; the
replacement of the deficiency in national
bank circulation below $lS0,OO0,000 by
treasury notes based on silver bullion pur-
chases; provision for free coinage
when silver is maintained at par for
one year; provision for the change
or conversion of gold coin into bars, and
the recoinage of subsidiary silver coins.
This measure was not satisfactory in every
detail to all the senators, but was accepted
as the best possible compromise.
The caucus also instructed the committee
on rules to prepare and report cloture
rule. It is understood it will be framed on
the lines of the rule proposed last session
by Senator Hoar and will provide for the
ordering previous question on any pending
proposition, after reasonable time has been
allowed for debate. This rule is not to be
reported until the financial bill has been
presented to the senate by the finance COM
mittee.

GARRISON, Mont, Dec. I.-[Special. IA
fellow calling himself Geo. Wilson played
the confidence racket on q passenger on the
west-bound Northern Pacific train here to-
night. Wilson asked the man to change q
bill for him and upon the obliging passen-
ger producing his wallet, Wilson grabbed
it and ran. He WAS CLOSELY followed and
captured at the round house, a short DIS
tance from the station, and the wallet with
its contents returned to the owners. The
sheriff was sent for, but before his arrival
the citizens took the matter in hand.
A rope was tied around his body aud he
was thrown into the ice cold water OF He'll
Gate river. After agood sduckinQ he was
hauled out and detained until the arrival Of
Sheriff Quigley from Deer Lodge. Wilson
was found to have on his person $4l, $15 Of
which were one dollar bills. He claims to
have been at one time news agent on the
Northern Pacific railroad, but is evidently
an old hand at the fim- fam business.

ports Two Strike and about 800 Indians
now camped at the Pine Ridge agency, and
these with other Indians at Pine Ridge and
Rosebud are all that can be drawn from the

mates the number of men in the

Calling on Hillside Men to Rally Around
Him.
DUBLIN, Dec. 17.-Parnell has issued a
strong appeal to the Hillside men, calling
on them not to submit to English dictntion.
He says IN part: "Wiil you give up your
chief to Saxon wolves, or will you rally
around him as your fathers did around the
men of '96 and shout No surrender! Hur-
rah for Parnell, leader of the independent
Irish party" Gather, men of Hillside, at
st. Johns well on Sunday around
your chief ana hurl defiance at his
enemies and the enemies of your race"
Parnell was interviewed to-day with re-
gard to the charges referring to the fund of
$4,000 raised several years ago for his
benefit. He said he spent it among the
workmen OF Wicklow, giving. 200 men
employment in the mines and quarries,
which is likely to prove permanent, for he
has heard that the search for great lode of
magnetic iron has proved successful. He
referred to the development of this industry
and possible development of coal and iron
fields in other districts, which would give
Ireland a great industrial future.

Number of Banks So Designated and
Their Regulations.
WASHINGTON. Dec. lin response to q
resolution of the house, Acting Secretary
Nettleton has sent that body a list showing
the several banks in which public money is
deposited, the purpose for which deposited,
etc. It shows that there are 2O2 of these
banks, 1877 of which are marked general
and fifteen marked ''surplus.l The banks
marked general have active accounts
receiving or disbursing public moneys, and
were designated MS repositories for the con-
venience of public officers in their vicinity.
Those marked surplus have inactive ac-
counts. They simply receive on deposit
to the credit of the treasurer of the
United States. When first designated
the amount they were allowed to
hold, in proportion to the amount
of United States bonds furnished as security
therefor, and there has since been no
change in such accounts, except for the
purpose of reducing holdings Of said de-
positors by transfer to sub treasury. No
interest has been or ia now paid into the
treasury by any Of such repositories in re-
turn for the use of public funds. Authority
to designate banks as repositories is con-
tanned In section &, ,l53, revised statute.

The Special Commission Recommends One
For the Coast.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE preliminary
report of the board on gun factories, etc.,
was sent to the senate to-day by the secre-
tary of war. In the letter accompanying
the report Secretary Proctor states that it
may be advisable to establish at no distant
day gun factory at some point ON the
Pacific coast of sufficient capacity to sup
ply guns required for the armament of
that coast. Secretary Proctor further says
it appears from the report that there is as
yet no plant ready on the Pacific coast
equal to the manufacture of large
gun forgings. but capital seems
ready to take hold and has already
begun to locate itself with this
object in view at more than one point. The
commission appointed by the president
consisted OF three officers of the army and
they were directed to inquire into the faciii-
ties for producing steel forgings for high
power guns ON the Pacific coast and in the
vicinity of the Indianapolis arsenal, Rock
Island arsenal. and some point near the
Cali coast. and adyisibility Of erecting

believed the limit of the present capacity

time required to complete armament.
those which would be added by the compile
tion of the Watervliet factory is too long.
A factory should be located on the Pacific
coast, to furnish guns required for it's de-
tense, but the board does not consider it
advisable ut this time to recommend the
erection of a third factory at the Rock Is
the Gulf coast. The board estimates that
it will take $3i9, 600 to establish plant on
the Pacific coast for the manufacture of
high power guns, and for machinery and
tools, $135, 600, making a total of $4S4, 100.

this morning. It's immediate liabilities are

Bank of Wallace, Bank of Wardner, and
Bank of MURRAY. The bank has been
known to be in financial straits for the
past year, but heretofore it has been as

THE DAY IN CoNGh.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE morning hour
having expired without anything of i'm :
portance being done, the senate resumed
consideration of the election bill. Dolph

subject. He held it to be the duty of con-
gress with malice toward none, and with
charity for all'' to exercise to the fullest
extent its powers under the constitution to
secure to every citizen of the United States.

or poor, the free exercise of his rights un-

put question to the senator from Oregon
and would ask frank answer. The ques-
ton was: III immigration from China
had not been prohibited; if there were a
million and half Cinnamon in Oregon
who had the right of suffrage, and who had
established in Oregon a Chinese state gov
ernment; and if the people of Oregon had
overthrown that Chinese government and
re-established white political supremacy,
would he (Dolph) in such case advocate tho
passage of a law by congress, the intent
and effect of which would be to encourage,
stimulate and sustain these Cinnamon in
their effort to recover political power on
race lines?"
Dolph said that was precisely the argu-
ment made on the democratic side OF the
chamber.
Eustis-"Will the senator answer my
question:"
Dolph-''I am not going to be interrupt
ed"
Eustis-"But I request the senator from
Oregon to answer my question"

Eustis persisted in his efforts to have his

AN OLD BANKING FIRM.
s. A. Kean & Co.. of Chicago, Suspend Yer,
unexpectedly.


unexpectedly.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE private banking
house Of s. A. Kean d Co., one of the Oldest
in Chicago, will not open its doors to-mor-
row. Mr.. Kean made statement to the
press tonight announcing the suspension.
He declined to estimate the liabilities or
assets, but was of the opinion that every
claim would be paid in full. They have
been negotiating for some time, he said,
for reorganization either AZ state or ma
tional bank, and expected to reorganize
without stopping business. 1t has been
found, however, that it would be ;mpossi-
BILE in short time to raise the necessary
funds to, continue business with safety
pending reorganization. It was thereupon'
determined to accept the next wisest course
suspension. "Our business" continued
Kean, ''had grown too rapidly the last year
or two for our capital and the stringency
of the money market made it impossible to
turn over our securities again at once after
we had loaned money on them. Our nomi-
nal capital was $100, ,O00, but in reorganlza-
tion it would have been half million
The firm, which was formerly known as
Preston. kean u CO.. has done large busi-
ness in floating city, county, and public i'm
provement bonds issued in the west. These,
when not otherwise disposed of, would be
pledged to banks for call loans ct New
York and other eastern points. These loans
have recently been called heavily and the
drain on the house apparently reached a
limit to-day. Anosher factor was the cir
cumstance that the demand for the securi-
ties of comparatively newly settled districts,
such az largely dealt in by Kean d Co., had
fallen off to considerable extent. De-
posits in the institution have recently ag-
gregated between 100000 and 100000.
Wide celebrity was given the house some
years ago by the extraordinary incidents
following the defnlcation of its cashier.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA telegram was re-

day from Director Peck, saying President
Harrison had decided that he could not now

the bonds were actually issued and placed

the bonds, which was approved by the
directors. The work of engraving will be
