STORM IN ENGLAND.
Land Telegraph Lines Complete y
Frustrated.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-A despatch re-
ceived here this morning from London
SAYS: The severe storms which have
prevailed in Great Britain have almost
completely prostrated leland telegraph
lines. Communication between London
and Liverpool and cable stations on the
coasts is of trightful character, and tele.
graphic business is seriously mpeded.
There is, however, no trouble in cabling
to Germany or the far east or South
America by way of Europe, as those sec
tions are reached by other connections
of cables than those prostrated.
