THE GREAT BLIzzARD'S ANNIVERSARY
1t Is Marked 6y a Dense, Palpabie
Fog.
No Vessels Moving In New York Bay
Except Ferry Boats.
Several Collisions Not Attended With
Loss OF Life.

NEW YORK, March 13.-On the anniversa-
ry Of the great blizzard comes the most dan
gerous fog that has been known in New
York In generation.
The mist, especially in the bay and upon
the rivers, is lmostimpenetrable, and traf-
fic on the water is practically paralyzed.
No steamships have arrived today at this
port, and no other ocean-going craft except
small schooner.
Last night the American bark G. E. BaldO,
Capt. Miller, from Cienfuegos, arrived and
was reported at o'clock. She anchored in
the lower bay. The weather was very thick
and the rain fell In torrents. The brig G.
j. Deery, from Charleston. S. c., to this
city, arrived some time afterwards, and
while seeking an anchorage ran into the
BaldO. Both vessels were seriously DAM
aged. The Boldo's headgear was carried
away, her bowsprit broken short off and her
stern In. The Deery lost several spars and
her headsails, besides suffering much dam
age to her hull. 1t Is not reported that any
lives were lost.
About o'clock the ferryboats Montana of
the Roosevelt street ferry and the Southamp-
ton OF the james ferry, which runs between
Long Island City and James slip, were near
ing their slips on the New York side. The
log was so thick that 40 one could see 10 feet
ahead. The slips Of these boats are within
a stones throw Of each other and as they
slowed up to feel their way in they came to-
gether with great thump, just off James
slip. Both boat were pretty well crowded
with people and for few moments 1t looked
as If panic might ensue. There was no
danger, however, as neither boat was dam
aged to any extent, and as soon as they part
ed they we're made fast in their slips.
According to the reports on the New York
side, the sound steamer. City Of London, Of
the Norwich line, on her down trip this
morning, smashed into the ferryb0at Re-
public of the Catherine street ferry.
The ferryb0at was pretty badly damaged,
but 1t was stated that no one had been hurt.
The Republic was towed to her slip. A
collision occurred in the North river be-
tween the ferryboat Midland and the freight
propeller Sara jerks, which plies between
this city and various points on the Hudson.
The jerks disappeared In the fog. The
damage to the ferryboat is slight.
The Pennsylvania, the Erie and Hoboken
ferryboats on the North river made few trips
this forenoon until the mist cleared off for a
time.
On the East river a similar state of affairs
existed, and temporary relief experienced by
the lifting of the fog was hailed with de-
light. The Staten Island ferrybo suffered

LONDON. March 10 The Hamburg-Amer-
lcan line steamship Sueyia, from New York
February 10Th, for Hamburg, reported yes
terday In disabled condition 60 miles of the
Lizard, Is still breastlng the Channel seas
without anything definite being known as TO
her exact condition. The chief officer, who
landed at Plymouth Wednesday night, re-
ported that the low pressure cylinder slide
valve was found broken when the Suevla
was OF Prawl Point, on Monday last. At
the time this accident occurred, a strong east
wind was blowing and heavy sea runLing.
The Suevia consequently drifted down the
Channel and experienced dreadful weather
during Monday night and Tuesday Towards
afternoon her signals Of distress were re-
spOnded to by the small London steamer Ac-
me. The Acme put the Suevia's head to the
wind. The Suevia's commander wanted the
Acme to try to tow the Hamburg American
vessel 10 Plymouth or Dartmouth. but the
captain Of the London steamer decided that
his vessel was to small to attempt TO tow
such large steamer against the gale that
was blowing. The chief officer OF the Sue
via was then put of from that ship In life
boat and was put on board pilot boat that
was Drawing the storm In search OF vessels
bound up the Channel. The pilot boats
commander landed the Suevia's chief officer
at Plymouth, after receiving a terrific
pounding from the sea. The chief officer
Immediately placed himself In communica-
ton with the Hamburg-American line agents
The powerful Channel tug lmcator was sent
out OF Plymouth In search of the disabled
Sueyia. The Imcator experienced very bad
weather while searching the Channel for the
missing vessel, being repeatedly swept fore
and aft by the waves. The eventual result
was that the tug was compelled to put into
Falmouth yesterday, having failed to ind
any trace Of the Sueyia. The agents have
made arrangements to send another more
powerful Channel tug out from Southamp-
ton. The new search vessel was to have left
Southampton this morning. and after calling
at Plymouth for the chief officer Of the Sue
via, was to have put to sea In the hope Of
falling In with the disabled steamer.

STATE OF the MISSISSIPPI.
Special Bulletin Sent Out by the
Chief Signal officer.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-In view of the
great uneasiness In the Mississippi valley in
connection with the present high water, the
signal officer puts forth the following special
bulletin:
The river this morning at Cairo stood at
AT feet above low water. 1t Is assumed
that the rises from the Ohio, Cumberl and
and Tennessee rivers, will cause the stage at
Cairo to approximate At feet by March 10.
The long continued high stage at Cairo
makes it certain that a large amount of
water has passed into Saint Francis basin.
II no more than the average rainfall occurs
during the next thirty days the crest of the
present high water from Memphis to Vicks-
burg will occur within week reaching, from
present prospects, about Ala feet at Helena
and 47.5 feet at Vicksburg. Unless the rain
falls for the coming thirty days are excessive
it Is certain that succeeding high waters will
not exceed those above named In view Of the
present great rate Of discharge Of the river
at Helena. While the late heavy rains have
caused rapid rises, yet the outlook is favora-
BILE. unless as has been stated before these
excessive rains should continue for a pro-
l0nged period.

Census office.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-Prof. Charles
W. Smiley Of this city. special agent Of the
11th census in charge Of the division of fish
and fisheries, has been temporarily relieved
from duty and the work of his division
stopped. The agents under him have been
recalled from the field, pedding investigation
into charges preferred against him affecting
his official conduct. The charges are mainly
that Prof. Smiley used his official position
and influence to dis:redit and embarrass the
United States fish commission In conse-
quence Of his having thus occupied a large
part of his time and that Of his special
agents, the value Of the work Of his divis-
ion has been seriously impaired. These
charges are now under investigation by CEN

Superintendent Porter. Prof. Smiley was
at one time connected with the United
State fish commission, and Is well and fav-
orably known here among scientists. He
makes positive denial Of the charges and
