WIND, HAIL AND SNOW.
A Terrific Blizzard Has Been Raging in the
Northwest.

Northwest.
. ST. PAUL, April 5.-The storm has
passed. AS the weather clears, reports
come in from everywhere of the ravages Of
elements. At Miller, s. D., there are snow
drifts eight feet deep. Hundreds of head
of stock have wandered away and probably
perished. The fall of snow has been
simply tremendous, and the railroad
blockade is the worst that has been
experienced for long time. The severest
storm of the season is now being reported
from Redfeld, S. D. Wind is driving snow
at hurricane velocity. Fully four inches on
a level has fallen. At Red Falls, Mimi.
the blizzard is growing more violent every
hour Over foot of snow has fallen. In
Nebraska many cattle have been chilled to
death. A heavy rain and hail storm flooded
the country around Blue Springs.
A tornado did considerable damage to
buildings, trees and other property at
Plattesville, Wis, yesterday, but no lives
were lost. At Searey, Ark, tornado swept
away three houses, but the inmates escaped
uninjured.

FIRES. FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

TRENTON, April 5.-The bill to legalize
the Reading Railroad combine was vetoed
this morning by Governor Albeit, on the
ground of unconstitutionality. The Gov
ernor saws there is no question of his right
to so act on bills within 80 DAYS after the
Legislatures adjournment. Governor Abb
bett says:
1t is plain that the members of the Legis-
lature considered that they were in passing
this bill pursuing the settled policy of the
State, which has been to encourage, rather
than to discourage, the consolidation of rail-
road corporations having common interest
in travel and business. A careful examina-
tion of the act fails to disclose any authority
conferred by it which would authorize or as
sist any combination to control the neces-
saries of life. There is nothing which au-
thorizes a control of prices by the corpora
tions beyond the natural rule of supply and
demand.
dent Mcleod said this afternoon:
The refusal of the Governor to sign the
bill will have no effect upon the Reading
Railroad Company. The leased lines will be
operated as at present. although not as CON
veniently as they would be if the bill be-
sign the bill will have no effect whatever
upon the combination. We are perfecting
our organization.
The leases were made without regard to
Legislative action on the part OF New
Jersey. The New Jersey Central road has
been leased by the Port Reading,
and prior to the passage of the bill
there was no law in New Jersey
preventing one corporation in the State
from leasing another. The lease OF the New
Jersey Central Railroad by the Port Read{ng
is, in other words, legal, and the Jersey Cen
tral is being operated under that lease, ana
will continue to be operated. The principal
purpose of the bill was to enable dissenting
stockholders to have their claims adj ud1-
Gated. We had not heard of any dissenting
stockholders of the New Jersey Central Rail-
road, but if there were any the passage of
would have enabled them to have their
claims adJudicate6.
1t has been said that in case the Governor
refused to sign the bill, a corporation would
be organized under the laws of New Jersey
which would control and operate all the
roads interested in the combination through
the ownership of their stocks. That is not
correct. We have never thought of forming
such corporation. The leases will stand as
they have been made, and the leased roads
will continue to be operated by the Reading
REGARDLESS of the action taken by Governor
Albeit think that the word "lease" con-
veniently expresses the situation exactly.
1t was stated tonight that Attorney Cen
eral Stockton will at once commence suit to
annul the charters of the New jersey Gen.
tral and Port Reading Railroads for violat-
ing the law of 1885, which permits railroads
to consolidate only after filing notice in the
office of the Secretary of State and obtain
ing permission from the Legislature.

Ell RENO, o. T., April 5.-The location Of
troops in the Cheyenne ana Arapahoe Res
ervations has had the double effect OF
keeping out the sooners and increasing
the interest and anxiety about the
opening. There are not troops enough
ih the United States to catch all
the sooners, but those now here are enough
to do some good. The land is rich and light
with a growth of grass almost to ones head
The country is threaded with small streams
that abound in fish and that are fringed
with timber. Game is plentiful and fresh
springs are numerous.
County will have the largest percentage
of negroes. Two carloads of negroes ar
rived at Kingfisher yesterday, all pretty
well-to-do and determined to found town
of their own. The colored population will
equal the white in County c and will be a
great factor in that county's affairs. 1t is
predicted now that the Cheyenne country
will be settled by 1000 people the first day.
Every incoming train helps to swell the
army of home-seckcrs who are here await

MORE RELIGION THAN POLITICS
n the Municipal Elections That Were Held
Throughout Michigan

DETROIT, April 1.-The municipal cleo
ions held throughout this State yester-
ay resulted in victories for Republican
ickets in a number of Democratic strong
iolds, while the Democrats were successful

which religion and politics were mixed
n q large number of towns. In such lead
ng cities as Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Port
Iuron and West Bay City, and in many
mailer places. the anti-Catholic Issue was
cry strong one and called out n tremen-
lous vote. IN most places the result was
ach as to give the anti-Catholic element
rounds for claiming the victory, although
u a mixed political situation there were
ither contributing issues.
Among the Democratic strongholds car
led by the Republicans are Grand Rapids.
,aginaw. Lansing, Port Huron. Mushegop.
}attle Creek, Kalamazoo and Ypsilanti. No
lection was held in Detroit. Among the
more important cities in which the Demo
