No Progress.

There has been absolutely nothing done
in the Fort Worth and Albuquerque road
this week. There still exists that inclina-
ton on the part of everybody to hold
back and give way to somebody else,
who so far has not come to the front.
The situation can be summed up in a few
words; No progress has been made and
none will be made the way the matter
is being engineered. Some of the old

as it is, has not yet taken any shape,
but the longer it is put off the worse
for the Dubuque politician. 1t was de-
termined to-day that Allison will get
one independent vote. McDermid. of

any doubt as to the result, and feels
that he ought to keep his promise. In

tonight when he arrived in town, and
there is no question but that the Repub-

counted on his vote for organization.
Senator Meservey is going around look

openly

but will not say whether he will bolt
the caucus or not. From present ap-
pearances it does not seem probable
that the Republicans can get more than
seventy-four members into their senate
rial caucus. They need seyenty-six
votes to elect on joint ballot. Senator
Allison is still keeping away and now
is not expected before Monday. The
reason for his delay in coming is that he

Should he be here at such time he
could not help becoming involved in
some of the many complications among
candidates for minor offices that would
be sure to arise, and he would be a suf-
ferer in consequence. So he has been
waiting for his lieutenants to telegraph
him that the organization of the house
had been all arranged for. AS they
have been unable to do this Mr.. Allison
is still is Dubuque. Gov, Boies is
also still in Waterloo. He has found
that his business is not as easily closed
up as he thought it could be, and has
been delayed in consequence. There
is, however. no reason for his presence
here until Monday, when he and his

KANSAS CATCHES 1T.
The Great storm Blocks Railways
in the West.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. IA severe
blizzard RACES to-day in Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska. Dispatches from
points in Kansas says that the storm is
by far the worst of the season, and
some points report that it is the most
severe ever experienced. The storm
began last night, and continued
throughout the day and most
of tonight. Far western points
in Kansas report that the
storm ceased and the weather
cleared abOut II O'Clock. The results
of this storm there have been disastrous.
On the average the snow fell about
eight inches on the level, but the strong
wind drifted it badly, and many trains
on the railroads have been abandoned
or greatly delayed. At Hiawatha. Kan,
correspondents report that the snow mas
drifted in places as high as the one
story houses, completely blocking the
highways and wires. At Wichita, Kan.
the snow Is reported at fifteen inches
deep and badly drifted. All trains on
the Santa Fe, Vie hita & Western:
Rock Island and Missouri Pacific rail-
roads in the neighbOrhood of Wichita
have been abandoned. more, however.
in anticipation of the effects of the
storm than on account of it. Some
of the trains have been side-tracked at
small stations. but the passengers have
been amply provided with both food and
fuel. At Derby. near Wichita, the
Santa Fe Texas express is waiting for
the results Of the storm to become
known before progressing further. En-,
porla reports the worst blizzard ever
known there. The snow is badly
drifted throughout the city and sur
rounding country, and railroad traffic is
entirely suspended. At Abilene, Kan,
the storm ragged for
THIRTY-sIX HOURS.
A foot of snow has fallen there, and the
drifts are mountain high. The rail-
roads are blocked with the snow. At
Topeka, six inches of snow has fallen,
and much interruption to railway traf-
fic has resulted. At Garden City, in
the western portion Of the state, the
storm was not SO severe as nearer The
center. The snow IS only four inches
deep there, and this storm did not par
take of the character of blizzard. Spe-
cial dispatches from points in Missouri
indicate that the storm has been less
severe there than in Kansas. Snow be-
gan falling at about noon to-day, but
not to any very great depth. 1t is still
showing. A dispatch from Lincoln,
Neb.. states that reports received there
are to the effect that storm of great
severity is raging throughout the
state A peculiar feature of the
storm is its occurrence on the
anniversary of the terrible blizzard two
years ago, when so many people per-
ished from the, cold. Reports of the
present storm indicate it is no less Sc
we're than that of which it Is the ami
versary. In Kansas City the storm be-
gan Saturday night with a driz-
cling rain. Early this morning the
weather turned cold, and the rain.
freezing as it fell covered every
exposed object with a coating of ice.

house. There is a law permitting the
entry free of duty of monuments and

ON THE ROCKS.
The Steamer City of Worcester in
Trouble.

EohOtCs
NEW LONDON. Conn.,, Jan. 12.-The
steamer City of Worcester, of the Nor
witch line, for this port, is ON the rocks
about a third OF a mile northwest of
Bartlett's Reef lightship. She struck
rock this morning during dense fog.
The captain and other officers of the
boat say that they did not hear the light
ships bell. and. losing their reckoning
in the thick fog, struck the rock. The
steamer rests on round boulders and
lies easily.
There are from five to seven feet of
water in the second. third and fourth
compartments. The other two water
tight compartments are not injured.
After striking the rocks the steamers
fire went out and she began sounding
signals of distress. Failing to receive
a response. boats crew rowed to this
port and reported the disaster to the conf
pany's agent. Before the crew arrived,
however. Agent Prentice had received
the following from Stonington: "Steani-
er City of Worcester is ashore or dis
abled inside of BartletI's reef" signed
captain of the steamer NarraganSet.
This would make it appear that the
City of WOrcester'S signals were heard
by the Narraganset, but she proceeded
on way to Stonington without answer
ing them. Luckily there was no danger
of loss of life. Tie fifty or
more passengers were safely conveyed
by tugs TO this city and proceeded to
their destinations. The steamer is in
charge of the company's agents. The
cargo was lightened at 1 o'clock this
morning. The extent of the damage to
the vessel is not yet known. There is
marine Insurance of $4,000 on he
steamer. The Territ Wrecking com
pany of New York will under
take the work of floating the
vessel in the morning. Various
causes are assigned for the grounding,
but perhaps the most reasonable is that
the bells could not be heard. The
steamer was under half-speed when she
struck. She was evidently off her course
a quarter point and drifted inside the
lightship with the strong food tide.
Much indignation is expressed at the
Narragansett's apparent refusal to rem
der assistance to the distressed vessel.

SPOKANE FALLS. WASH, Jan. 12.-H.
McCrosser, better known as to the sport
ing fraternity as big Mae" was shot
and killed by Harry Baer. one of the
proprietors of one of the largest gam
bling houses in the Northwest yester-
day. Baer was in the act of ejecting a
man from his house for stealing chips.
when he was assaulted by 'Big Mac.''
After bearing up under the assault as
long as possible. Baer drew revolver
andssh0t his assailant. The latter died
fifteen minutes later. Baer is well
known all over the coast as a mining
operator and proprietor of a large gam
bling house. Before the great fire he
owned the largest and finest brick block
in the city. The sentiment is that the
shooting was iustitiable.
