PADDOCK'S POSITION.
HIS EARNEST WARNING TO HIS
FELLOW REPUBLICANS.
lie Urges Them to Lay Aside the Force
Bill and Enact Some Laws That Will
Benefit the Public.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The Post to-
morrow will say Senator Paddock of
Nebraska was in earnest when ne
warned the senate few days ago that
he would soon move to lay aside the
elections bill, and take up the pure food
bill, and he will before long again take
occasion to renew the warning. He will
first give his party, however, ample op-
portunity either to pass the elections
bill or conclude to lay it aside. In this
connection it may be interesting
to state that Paddock has been
misquoted from the beginning in regard
to his position on this bill. A dispatch
originally sent from here describes an.
interview alleged to have taken place
between the president and the senator,
in which the former was said to have
upraided the latter for not supporting
the bill. ''The interview thus pic
turesquely related, not only never oc-
cured" said Paddock, "but the presi-
dent never mentioned either the elec-
tions bill nor the tariff bill to me. 1
have never said 1 would not vote for the
elections bill, although l have been
quoted as saying so. The truth is that
there is nothing in the provisions of
the bill that is Objectionable
to me. My position is in regard
to the consideration of the bill at this
time as unwise. 1 think it would be
better to discuss and pass financial
measure. The elections bill is purely a
political matter, in which only straight
out Republicans are interested, while
financial legislation vitality concerns all
the business men in the country, and is
sadly needed. Certainly this is the
situation in Nebraska. nave not yet
received single letter from my state,
either for or against the elections bill,
which is sure indication of lack of in
terest in it. Another thing against the
elections bill is that it is regarded with
suspicion that may not be we'll founded,
but which certainly is operating to dis
turb the business relations between the
north and the SOUTH"
The Post also says there is at present
an interesting point of difference be-
tween Senators Edmunds and Hoar re-
garding the future programme in the
senate. Edmunds believes it would be
perfectly right and proper for the pre-
siding officer of the senate to refuse to
recognize minority senators, and thus
bring the elections bill to vote. SEN
ator Hoar and others do not go this far,
but claim the presiding officer
has the power to bring to a close
any filibustering proceedings which
have for their object the defeat of a rule.
They assert that forcible measures in
this case would be constitutional, be-
cause the constitution gives each house
the right to determine its rules. This
distinction between cloture for bill
and cloture for rule, is fine one, and
has not hitherto been commented upon.

A HEAVY SNOW STORM
Made a White Christmas From IndiaI
Eastward,


WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.--It is showing
hard here this evening, with every indi
cation of a protracted storm. A dis
patch from Harrisonburg, Va, says a
severe snow storm set in this morning,
and it is still showing. The country
roads are blocked from the storm of the
18th and 18th, and travel is almost en-
tirely suspended. The same condition
of affairs is reported from taunton.
A special bulletin has been issued by
the signal officer, referring to the present
storm which extends from Indiana to
Virginia, and promises the greatest
amount of snow in any single storm for
years. Warnings were sent to theOrail-
roads i'll Pennsylvania and New York,
today, and the storm will reach New
England by Friday. From three to
seven inches of snow fell today in the
Ohio valley.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 25.-Snow be-
gan falling here Saturday night and has
fallen steadily ever since. About ten
inches is on the ground. Traffic is
somewhat impeded.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. .25.-It began
showing here early this morning, and
fully eight inches has fallen. This is
the hardest snow storm in years.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 25.-A very heavy
snow storm which began early this even
ing, continues at midnight. Several
street car lines are blocked and travel on
them is suspended.

DARKEST ENGLAND.
General Booths Reform Scheme Gets a
Set Back. q

LONDON, Dec. 25.-The Times an
nounces that Commissioner Smith, OF
the Salvation army, has resigned. His
resignation, the Times says, is most i'm
portant, because he formed substan-
tial guarantee that earnest and business
like efforts would be made to
execute the practicable part of Gen
eral Booths scheme of social reform.
The authorship of In Darkest Eng
land is now common knowledge. but a
charitable hypothesis assigns to General
Booth credit for having written at least
two chapters OF the book. Booths ex-
planation is that he supplied pro-
fessional writer with the ma
terals of the work. The Times
believes when the whole story is re-
vealed 1t will be found that the sub
stantial parts of the scheme of
city and farm colonies originat-
ed with Commissioner Smith. Moth
ing but sense of duty, the Times
adds, could have induced Commissioner
Smith to resign at 80 important juno
ture. There must be something
wrong with the scheme. or the
management of the funds. Those
who promised donations are now entitled
to withhold them until full and salts
factory account of Smiths resignation is
given. He was the life and soul of the
reform wing of the army, and it is likely
his resignation is destined to be a death
blow to Booth more ambitious scheme.

AeeCAhPtCU'
GLASGOW, Dec. 25.-It is now esti-
mated that 5000 men are out on strike
on the various railways in Scotland.
Traffic on the North British railway has
almost ceased. Many assaults by strik-
ers are reported. The employees
of the Caladonian railway company
are gradually joining the strikers.
The Glasgow docks are closed. The gas
supply at Perth is threatened with ex-
haustion, owing to the inability of the
companies to obtain coal.
A railway chair was found fastened to
the tracks on the line between this city
and Kilbride, but was discovered in
time to prevent an accident. The pur-
pose was to derai night train, and the
strikers are accused of the fiendishyact.
Numbers of the Aberdeen strikers are
resuming work. The prospects are that
the strikers in Glasgow and Edinburgh
will consent to arbitration.
LONDON, Dec. 25.-One thousand rail-
way men at Hull have struck for shorter
hours and more wages.

night. Silas Nickel (colored) had been

stepdaughter, Emma Mcleod, came to
her mothers defense, when the infuri-
ated man attacked both women with a
revolver and knife. Mrs. Nickel was
shot in the abdomen and had her throat
cut, while her daughter was stabbed five
times in the body. The daughter died
in short time, but the mother is still
alive. Nickel blew out his brains.
