WEATHER ANALYZED.
The PeCuifarities of the Late We,
Spells Explained.

SAN Francisco, January 2S.-Lieuten.
ant Maxfield, Superintendent of the Sig
nal Service Bureau of this city, says few
storms on the Pacific Coast begin so far
south as that which caused the late heavy
fall OF snow in the Sierras, and of rain
elsewhere. Storms on the Coast usually
originate in the ocean at we'll defined
point, just south of the Columbia river.
Lieutenant Maxfield says that since the
middle OF October the bad weather has
not been one continuous storm, as has
been generally thought, but has been a
series of storms extending over period
OF four or five days each, and broken
only by one or two days fair weather.
The rainstorm which began last Tuesday
aud melted some of the snow in the
mountains was ordinary in it's origin, and
liz disastrous effects were due 10 the
storm which preceded it. This storm
arose off the coaet of Humboldt county,
and pursued an eastern course to the
slerras, where its motion was DETECTED
to the eouth. The mountains also forced
the storm clouds into higher attitudes,
causing snow. The temperature mod.
Grated before last Tuesday, 80 that the
rain which set in did not turn to snow.

DUNsMUIR, CAL, January 2S.-Aboui
four inches of heavy wet snow fell here
today. At p. m. it turned to rain with
prospects of continuing through the
night. The river is rising. The enow
plows on tho Oregon and California rail-
road from the north and south, came in
last evening, but we're again sent back

is reported at Tunnel 2, below here,
and another at Tunnel 8. A number of

THE EXCLUSION ACT.
A Long Step Taken Towards It's
NulliTtcation.

SAN Francisco, January 2S.-The
habeas corpus case of Gee Quong Sue
was arguedin the United States Circuit
Court today. The question involved was
whether the rule should not be laid
down that Chinese merchants who
absent themselves from this country for
several years shonld be considered to
have abandoned their residence here,
and on returning shall be required to
affirmatively show that they retain such
residence here, or to present certificate
as to their status, as required by Section
of the Exclusion Act. Judge SAWYER.
On taking the case under advieement.
said he strongly believed that Chinese
merchants who leave this country with
the intention of returning to it are enti-
tied to land without presenting the GER
tifcate mentioned in the Exclusion Act.
That certificate, he declared, ia only re-
quired of Chinese merchants who never
have been in this country. It is feared
by the custom officials that if Gee
Quong Sue is permitted to land, hun
dreds of similar cases will arise, and a
long step will have been taken toward
the Exclusion Act.

SOME errors have been made all around
in reporting the sale of the Nadeau the
other day under foreclosure. The lot
is l2O feet on Spring street, and runs
back little short of full city lot of 165
feet. The building covers the eutire
ground space and cost $f25, 900. The
original amount of the mortgage under
the terms of which the sale was made
was $225,000 There had accrued on
this some $11 900 of interest. The total
Indebtedness for which it was bid in at
the Sheriff's sale was about $23S 900. 1t
will be seen that the amount of the origi-
nal mortgage was at the rate of more
than $4,000 per foot for the Spring
street frontage, and that the total
sum due ct the time of sale came to more
than $4,000 per :front foot for that front
age. Take away the original cost oil
the building from the total indebtedness
and there would still remain more than
800 0O0 of the original mortgage on the
ground alone, and adding the accrued
interest and other additions to the in.
debtedness, the amount due over the
cost of the building is $113. 600, or nearly
$3.50 per front foot on the Spring-street
frontage. Remembering that this is the
cost of the property under foreclosure
sale, it puts pretty stiff valuation or
Spring g-street property.

Trains Will Get Through

THE BLOCKADE ALMOST BROKEN
A Very Hopeful Condition of Things
Except on the Lines Leading

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 2S.-It now
seems probable that the great blockade
On the Sierras will be over in two or
three days, at least. Last night the big
rotary plow was dug from the snow in
Cascade cahon and has done splendid
work since. The track is now clear as
far IS the plow can clear it, but the ro-
tary is about used up. The snow passed
through today vas nearly as hard as ice,
and averaged twenty feet deep. The
railroad officials say the only obstruction
now is about foot of hard-tramped
snow and ice which covers the rails.
This must be removed by shovelers.
The officials hope all blockaded trains
will reach here by Thursday.
The high water has gone down all over
the State, and the washouts and land
slides are generally repaired. No very
great damage has been done.
The blockade on the California and
Oregon road is still on, and there is little
prospect of breaking it for week or
more. There is no communication with
the north except by steamer.
SUPERINTENDENT FILLMORE HOPEFUL.
Superintendent Fillmore today stated
that the trains at Reno, Truckee and
Wadsworth would all be moving tonight
and that the blockade is over. The
main difficulty now is the slippery condi.

when running progresses about tlya feel
per minute. 1t has met great difficulty
from snow falling under the wheels anc
derailing the engines, aud has met with
two or three unimportant accidents. In
dications are that the road will he cleal
today.

yards of SNOW to be plowed out just be-
yond the Cascade cut, and the rotary
was about to plunge into it when some
part of the machinery broke, and the
plow became useless, and will probably
have TO be brought to thia
city for repairs. The railroad
company at once doubled the
wages of the snow shovelers, and they
agreed to 60 to work and attempt to clear
the tract. 1t is expected this will be
done in time to start trains tomorrow
forenoon. The accident occurred at hal

no change in the situation on the Oregon

night and threatening rain.

Largest Bridge In the world.

Gustav Lindenthal, celebrated
bridge builder and engineer, of Pitts
burg, is having prepared a model of a
bridge to span the Hudson from Jersey
City to New York. John HI. Stubbe is
constructing the model at Hazel wood.
The drawings show an immense and
graceful structure stretched across the
Hudson at the foot Of Fourteenth street,
New York, to the Jersey shore, about
midway between Jersey City and Ho'
boken.
One immense span, 1850 feet in
length, clears the river, and two Other
spans, each over 2 800 feet, extend from
p ers on the sho 9 to the immense
anchorage on either side. The structure
is to be suspension bridge, the main
span swinging from two towers, which
surmount immense piers that are to be
built at the rivers edge in order not &c
interfere with the shipping.
These towers are to be SOC feet in
height, almost double those of the Brook.
lyn bridge. From highwater mark tc
the floor the roadway Is 140 feet, 20 feet
more than that of the Brooklyn bridge
The span between the towers is to be
,255 feet longer than that OF the Booklyn
bridge. Instead of the cables being
carried away, inlaid and anchored, they
are secured in immense squares of ma.
sonry at the termination of the short
spans. The shore anchorages are to be
120 feet in height, $50 feet wide and 400
feet long, Of solid masonry, except a
tunnel through the upper end fer the
roadway.
The roadway is to be eighty-fve feet
wide, and will accommodate six railroad
tracks. 1t will be supported by four i'm
menee cables, two on each side, passing
over the towers and fastened into either
end. Those cables are to be four feet in
and will contain Is, 900 steel
wires each. These will weigh two tons
to the foot. The full length OF the bridge
is TO be something over seven thousand
feet.
The scheme is to avoid the ferriage
across the Hudson river by railroad com.
panies. There are ten railroads center
ng at Jersey City, and the proposed
bridge, with its six tracks, would given
,mhle relief. The cost is estimated at
"A 600, 900. 1t is the purpose to have the
take hold of the project and
build national bridge. An appropria-
ion will be asked from the next Congress
If $4,000 600 for the purpose. The
bridge will dwarf every structure of the
'ame kind in the world. 1t will be
nearly twice the size of the Brooklyn
bridge in all it's proportions.-[S Scriptus

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
A Plan Proposed for Its Reorgani-
cation.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 2S-The re-
port OF the committee appointed by the
State Board of Trade to formulate plan
for reorganizing the board so as to in
crease its efficiency, was made public
today. The committee are ia favor of
allowing any corporation or person doing
business in the State, to designate one
member of the State board for every 800,
or traction thereof not less than $50,
paid by said corporation monthly. Also
that any county board or association, upon
paying $25 monthly, shall have the right
to designate person who, upon signing
the constitution, shall become member
of the State board. The committee
state, however, that unless there is sub.
stantial unanimity in favor of Incorporate
ing, the board had better continue it's
transactions und er the present plan.

SAN Francisco, January 2S.-Tbe
washouts and landslides along the lines
of the Southern Pacific Company are
rapidly disappearing. Instead Of being
the rule, as was the case three days ago,
thsy are now the exception. The
road from here to Los Ange-

was without break today, enabling two
trains to arrive from Los Angeles. The
situation on the branch lines in the San
Joaquin valley is much improved.
Late this afternoon nearly all the
damage on these, caused by the
storm of Sunday night, had been
repaired. Superintendent Bsesett has
now the hardest work before him of any
of the railroad officials as regards wash
outs. The work is being pushed vigor.

all the lines leading to Santa Cruz will

THE FINAL CHAPTER,
he Rotary FiOW,s Last Grand
struggle with the snow.


SACRAMENTO, January 2S.-The final
chapter in the record of the effort to
break one of the greatest blockades in
the history of the Central Pacific, began
with the trip of the rotary snow plow
from Blue Canon up the hill to Cascade
On Sunday morning. The sun came out
from the clouds end brought comfort
to the crews OF the three engines which
with the plow, had made three miles
Blue from canon between noon of Satur-
day and 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Wet
snow and ice retarded the progress of the
plow every few feet, and mon
with shovels would then have to
remove the dense mass packed in front
of the rotary blades.
1t was 2 O'Clock Sunday before the
rotary reached Emigrant Gap, taking
twenty-six hours to make five miles.
Engineers Trott and Meyers who had
been blocked up in woodehed by snow,
were picked up about noon, having been
thirty hours without food. At Emigrant
Gap Assistant Superintendent Burk-
haller, who came up behind the rotary
on special train, Was taken sick and
obliged to return TO Sacramento. The
rotary made the journey through the
snowsheds to Cisco without difficulty. 1t
was when Cascade wes reached that the
chief labor of the blockade.raisers be-
gan. From the shed opening for mile
and quarter was the heaviest deposit of
snow on the hill. being from IA to 20
feet deep.
Late Sunday evening the rotary wss
started on its final task. The plow
choked at every turn OF her driving
wheels. and finally halt was called.
Yesterday the battle resumed, and after
four hours of labor the Cascade bridge
was reached. Here the plow took
firm hold on the snow, and
hurled it in mighty stream
far over the bank into the canon below.
All day and night the plow pushed into
the drifts, and ct o'clock Tuesday
word was brought to the wait.

blockade was practically raised, and the

Red Tape and official indifference

We are not prepared to say that Mr..
Richard Garyey has an action in law
against the city for the damages he has
sustained in his property at the corner Of
Spring and Ninth street; but there can
be no doubt that he has been most
shamefully injured by the failure of the
authorities to provide for proper grade
Tor the street at that point. Over year
ago Mr.. Garvey commenced to improve
his lot. Twice last winter the excava-
tlon was filed with water from the street
and the walls washed down. During
the dry season he again started in to
erect his building. He built extensive
foundation walls, placed granite curbs all
around the two fronts of the lot, and
was ordered by the Street Superinten-
dent to lay substantial sidewalk over
the brick arches he had built into the
street. He did so. The last storm sent
the waters of Spring and Main streets
rushing against his new-laid curbs,
undermined them and filed the base
ment. The walls are again in state OF
ruin, and for the third time he will be
compelled to rebuild all his foundation
walls. lime and again he has aeked
the Council to make euch changes in the
grade at his corner as would cause the
waters of the two principal streets to
now on past his lot instead OF being pre-
cipltated against it. The grade of the
street ls higher on the east side
than on the west side, and that
throws the whole volume of the water
of the two streets into the hollow which
Is formed at his corner by the existing
grade. The Council has done nothing to
correct the grade, and Mr.. Garvey's
ossee, first and last, on this accoun.
nave amounted to about $1,000. We

The blockade on the Central Pacific
has lasted since the 18th, a period oi
two weeks. 1t was expected that the
imprisoned trains would be released last
night and get through. This is by ia,
the longest interruption that has ever
occurred to travel on that road. AL.
though such blockades may not be
