ATLANTIC STORMS.
High W.Eds, Rain and SnOY Cause
Damage in New England.

Boston. April 3. - There is a storm
throughout New England which is very
severe. A stiff northeast gale was blowing
all night, with a heavy rain on the coast
and snow in the interior Fourteen inches
of snow fell throughout Western New En-
gland. All the trains are late. The wind
reached Il velocity Of sixty miles an hour. In
the harbOr the tide was the highest for six
months and considerable damage was done
to shipping. Many vessels dragged their
anchors and drifted on the flats. A few
SchoonerS were dismaSted others were
badly damaged by being driven against the
wharyes.
The telegraph and telephone wires are
down in every direction.
Reports from Chatham state that more
damage has been done inland than By any
other gale within the memory of man. The
barometer is lower than ever before, and
the tide Is running very high, the water
completely covering the beaches.
New YORK, April 3.-The heavy storm
which swept over this section last night did
considerable damage. particularly to the
east OF New York.
The storm was accompanied in many
places by heavy. wet snow, and this, aided
by the high wind, demoralized the telegraph
wires TO a great extent.
dispatch from Poughkeepsie says: A
heavy snOw-storm ragged in the Hud son
River Valley all night. About a foot of
snow fell, but only six inches lay for any
length Of time.
1elegraphc, telephone and electric-light
wires crossed, and are down in every direc-
tion.
1t will take week or ten days to get the
wires In good working order again.
The weather is now clearing and the snow
is rapidly disappearing.

SLIGO, April 13-The result of the poll
ing yesterday for Member of Parliament
to succeed the late Peter Mcdonald as rep
resentative from North Sligo was announced
this afternoon. Th contest resulted in the
election of the McCarthyte candidate by a
majority of nearly 800. The jaunting-cars
upon which the ballot-boxes were conveyed
from the outlying districts to the Town
Hall were escorted by constabulary armed
with rifles. Cars were arriving all night.
The figures as officially announced this
evening are: Alderman Collery (anti-Par-
nellte) 1906. Alderman Dillon ParDellite)
1926; majority for the anti -Parnellite can
didate 7S0. Dillon's agent has lodged a pc
tition against the return of Collery on the
ground that the presiding officer of the
Grange pollng-place unlawfully adjourned
the polling while he went to refresh himself.
LONDON, April 3-The Nationalists dis
counted their victory in Sligo to some ex-
tent by their exaggerated predictions AS to
their majority. Speeches made by the Par
nellites after their defeat showed undated
pluck. The Parnellites tried to dupe the
Catholic voters by display of bogus tele-
grams from Rome, to the effect that the
Pope disapproyed the anti-Parnell policy of

GRECIAN TRAGEDY.
Successful Presentation Of Long Ez-
peCted Play in New Haven.

NEW HAVEN, April 3-The long expected
presentation OF the "Antignne Of SOphocleS," "
by the women of New Haven, took place
large audience. The interior of the thrater
had been altered so that it might conform as
nearly as possible with the traditional
appearance of the Dionynisiac theater at
Athens, in the days OF SophOcles.
From beginning to end the produc-
tion was perfect success. Mrs.
S. II. Chapman as Creon and Mrs. II. q.
Thompson as AntigOne. the most important
characters of the play, performed their parts
admirably. Rarely indeed has more finished
portrayal of characters been witnessed on a
New Haven stage. Mrs. Chapman has a fine
physique and was easily made kngly by the
costumer's art. By nature she has proud
bearing, and her voice is deep and ex-
tremely powerful. 1t was used to the best
advantage in expressing pathoS, great grief,
scorn and contempt.
For nearly year. in New York, at
Athens and in New Haven, she has stud led
the character OF Creon. Her mastery of the
character was almost perfection. Mrs
Thompson, who appeared as Antigonc, is
one of the most beautiful women IN New
Haven. Her figure is superb, tall and
heroic; with full, sweeping gestures and a
noble gait she faced the ipfleXibe CreOn.
There were rich and attractive costumes
and none of them were alike. The orcneS-
ira was under the direction of the Misses
Kate and Lucy Trowbridge, the daughters
lege and nieces of Ward McAllister. The
young women took great pains in making
the variety OF roDeS for "Antigone," having
made a careful study of their work,

Balmaceda's Assurance Is Wanting to Name
His Successor.
New YORK, April 3.-In letter to the
Tribune r. l.. Trumbull, member of the
Chilean House of Deputies, states that the
dispatches from Chile this morning are mis-
leading ard adds: "I have no doubt that
President Balmaceda is very anxious to
withdraw and join his family in Europe, for
after the ruin which lie has brought upon
his country it is not likely that lie cares to
remain in it, His offer to withdraw on con-
ditiOn that he is allowed to designate his
successor, in itself condemns the man, and
should be sufficient proof to all the world of
the justice of the Chilean revolution, for it
is against the abomination of one man
power that the people are fighting. The
citizens of Chile are not as subseryIent as
Balmaccda thinks, and they Will not sub
nit to his dictatorship.
The spatch received by MeSsrs. Flint
So Co. to tue effect that the Liberal party,
which supports the Government, has elected
more than two-thrds of Congress would
have been more exact if it had stated that
the Congress elected was unanimously in
favor of the dictator, and that not a single
candidate If the OPPOSITION had been elected,
for this is fact. There was no opposition.
The country is under martial law and no
election could, under such circumstances, be
free. The people have taken no part in the
election aud the dictator has simply desig-
mated the representatives, of the people i'll
the same way that he intimates his willing
ness to designate his own successor"

The stranger said that 10000 Italians
would be brought into Pittsburg in five

surprising the citizens, they could be able to
take the city without much trouble. He
strongly urged GabarriO TO get the Italians

Cowardly Murder of a British Subject by
Venezuelan Police.

PANAMA, April 3.-The old boundary
question between Venezuela and England
and the il-feeling resulting therefrom re-
suited in another murder last month. Will
lam Campbell, British grant-holder on the
Barima, went to visit a friend on the Ven E.
Zuelan side of the Anacooroo River. Three
Venezuelan policemen went to arrest him,
and Notwithstanding he offered no resistance
one of them shot him in the right hand,
shattering it badly. He was soon released,
no charge of any kind being preferred
against him. He died in couple of weeks
from poisoning, induced by neglect of
the wound while he was in charge of the
Venezuelan police. This affair has aroused
a bitter feeling against the Venezuelans
among the British, and the Demerara Ar
COSY prints long article demanding that
the Governor insist on the trial of the mur-
derers, and intima.eS to the Admiral on the
station that the services of a gun.boat may
be necessary. The article says: 1--WE are
not confounding the Venezuelan Govern
ment with the rough men who represent it
at Anacooroo, but if that Government should
be unwise enough TO stand between the
murderers and the fate they have cOurted
our country should not hesitate in resorting
to action worthy Of its name."

Italian 1rOnclads Dare Not Attempt to
Shell New York City.
PHILADELPHIA, April 8. - Charles H.
Cramp, the head of the great ship-buiding
firm, says New York is in no danger from
Italian ironclads. They will never come
over here he said confidently. I'm the
first place they can't carry coal enough to
make such a voyage safe, and they could
find no place here to recoal. Then their
great draught would make it impossible for
them to do much damage on this side. They
are not familiar with our coast and would
be in constant danger of grounding the
moment they came at all near the coast.
They carry very heavy guns. but, except for
firing on a city, these guns are not effective
much over one mile, and our new cruisers
could be very effective by circlinG about
the monsters, peppering them with long
range rlt1ed cannon, and drawing them into
shallow water III a shot from one of the

Of course, do considerable damage but, ex-

CHICAGO, April 3.-Harry Ballard, the

in regard to the FilzsimmOns-Hall matter
that three weeks ago Clark, on behalf Of

bind match with Hall and that he had re-
ceiyed dispatches from Jim Ryan, whom he

dent Of the Astoria (OregoD) CLUB. Grant
wanted the S25J0 sent on to Astoria, but to

means business they should send some one
here to cover the money now up for Fltz-
simmons. With representative of Hall

INDIAN SOLDIERS.
Great Difficulty Experienced in Securing Re-
cruits in the West

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The news re-
ceived at the War Department of the result
of the efforts being made by Western army
off GERS TO carry out the provisions of the
Army Appropriation Bill, authorizing the
enlistment of 2000 Indian recruits, is very
discouraging. The officers report that the
Indians will not enlist in the infantry under
any circu instances, as they abhor walking.
They will not enlist in the cavalry except
as scouts, because they do not care to bind
themselves TO five years service, nor to be
subject to removal to distant parts of the
country. Then, too, they want their women
with them, and the great majority of bucks
are physically u nfit for military service. 1t
is doubted whether single Indian com
pany can be recruited in tha West. Bnt the
outlook in the South is more hopeful. At
Mount Vernon Barracks, Ala, where the
Apache Indians who led the Geronimo
campaign are placed, 1t is said that all the
lndians-some thirty-fve or forty-are
about to enlist. These Indians are said to
be progressing rapidly in the path of civili-
Zation. and the almost Incredible fact is re-
ported that the renowned warrior Geronimo,
who was for years the terror of the South
west, is now a prominent teacher in local
Sundays school.

III RUDINPs LATEST NOTE.


j Indicates an Early and AmicabIe Set
tlement of the Trouble.
WASHINGTON, April st is said tonight
that the President and his advisers are
much gratifed over the receipt Of the latest
message from Premier di Rudini, which
was the subject under consideration at the
Cabinet meeting to-day. They are inclined
to think it indicates an early settlement of
the Diplomatic war. TIE milder tone as
sumed by Di Rudini in his message to the
Marquis ImperIali is, it is considered here,
due to the clear statement of our Govern
ments position by Secretary Blaine,
supplemented by the able presentation of
the case at Rume by Porter, the United
States Minister. 1t is reported that at the
Cabinet meeting letter was read from
either Ba on Fava or Marquis 1mDeTiali,
iHtimating that the recall of the Minister
was really but leave OF absence. Baron
Faya is still i'll at his residence.
Current events in this country have led
naval men to remark that the naval war
fare going on in Chile has demonstrated tie
weakness there Of the tOrpeiO-bGats under
fire, and the uncertainty of the fish tor
pedO, with which our navy is equipped, IS
specially remarked.
The Star says Blaine's note to the Mar
quis Imperali was cahlCd at once to Rome.
The Marquis di RudIni sent reply last night,
directing tue Marquis lmpeTaH to hand it
to Blaine. This was done at 10 o'clock this
morning. Il was in Italian and had to be
translated. When this was done Blaine,
taking all the documents, proceeded to the
White House where the Cabinet was in
session an hour.
The Post says: 1t is probable the neces-
sity OF a law making it a specific misde-
meanOr TO violate the provisions of treaty
with another nation, thereby giving the
United States power to act in such cases.
Will be urged in the next message of the
President To Congress.

of the concern. He has alwa,s borne an
excellent reputation, and up TO the moment
of his arrest this opinion had been un-
altered. The arrest was made at the H.

branch. Smith charges that his firm lost
S25,C by Stones operations, and that they
extend over many years. Both the accused
and aecuser maintain absolute silence about
the motives of the arrest and where the
money has gone. Both admit there is some
thing back OF the arrest which will not be
told, even at tile trial. Stone was arrested
when taking two pounds of silk out of the
store. He says he had the right to take it,
and had been accustomed to do SO. selling 1t
and returning the proceeds.
