WINTERS RETURN.
Beautiful Spring Hidden by a Blizzard
Out West.

SUPERIOR, Wis, March 10.-A snow
laden hurricane swept down from the
West yesterday. The storm did not in
terfere materially with traffic until about
1 o'clock in the afternoon, when the
wind and snow came with constant and
reboubled force, and trains had the
greatests difficulty to force their way
against the cutting blast to where they
were going. Horses attached to vehicles
refused to face the blizzard. The street
car company was tied up early in the
day. Trains and yard engines practi-
cally gave up the struggle before 8
o'clock in the afternoon. Toward night
the mercury commenced to fall rapidly.
Annie Mcdowell, employed in a grocery
store, was found in a semi-unconscious
condition and taken to the nearest house.
Early action was taken to get school
children and lady teachers home.
Sleighs, hacks and carriages were press
ed into service. So difficult, however,
was it to send teams against the storm
that many of the children were driven to
the nearest hotels. 1t is rumored that
there are many persons missing, and
there are many anxious ones. This is
the worst storm in the history of Super

JONES DOESN'T LIKE 1T.
The Proposal to Save Seals by Cutting Off
Trade.

BOSTON, Mass, March 10.-The sugges-
ton made by Senator Morgan that the
United States should retaliate upon
British interests by shutting out the
bonded goods from Canada has special
interest for the people of New England,
because a large proportion of the freight
4 hat comes in bond from our Northern
neighbor is shipped to Europe from New
England ports.
President Frank Jones of the Boston &
Maine spoke of the great quantities of
barley and other grain that came from
the central parts of Canada and from
Manitoba to be shipped in Boston or
Portland. He said the Boston & Maine
railroad had just erected a large grain
elevator for the purpose of loading the
grain from the cars into the vessels, and
they were arranging to constructing an
other so as to provide such good facii-
ties for handling the grain as would pre-
serve the trade to Boston. Of course,
he said, most of the men in Congress did
not care anything about New England; j;
they were accustomed to treat her as a
place away up in the corner that had
little claim to consideration, but the
matter was worth the attention of the
people here if Congress was really going
to act upon the suggestion of Mr.. Morgan

UNDER REID RULES.
HeOsier Republicans Met in State
Convention Yesterday.
DELEGATES INSTRUCTED TO VOTE
FOR HARRISON.

A Member Who Opposed Such Instruc-
He Asked What Harrison Had Done.
and the Convention Shouted EVERY
thing ''-The Gathering Wanted Har-
rison and Didn't Want Fault Finding.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 10.-Chair-
man Goudy called the Republican State
Convention to order today in Tomlinson
hall. A picture of President Harrison
was exposed to view and the cheering
was vociferous. W. G. Sayer, of Wabash,
was chosen permanent chairman. The
rules of the 51st Congress, ''as interpreted
and applied by T. B. Reed'' were adopted
to govern the convention amid applause.
Mr.. Sayer, upon taking the chair, spoke
at some length. He said he believed the
prospect of the Republican party con-
tinuing in power was much brighter.
He had a suspicion that this convention
was fairly friendly to the President of the
United States, Benjamin Harrison.
The report of the committee on resolu-
t1ons endorses the national platform of
1883 and reciprocity. 1t favors honest
money and dollar that, whether it be
of gold, silver or paper, shall be of like
value in payment Of debts. 1t endorses
the acts of the 51st Congress and the
Administration of Harrison
under which the country has prospered,
the rights of American citizens abroad
been maintained, the bonded debt Of
the United States rapidly extinguished,
the revenue collected with diminished
cost to the people and without corrup-
ton in any branch of the public service.
| The report also says: President Harri-
son has discharged his high duties in a
spirit of lofty patriotism, with a consci
| entious regard for the rights of all our
people and we urge his denomination at
Minneapolis. He has lifted the nation
higher in greatness, power and dignity.
We instruct the delegates this day elected
to give him earnest support as long as
his name is before the convention
After the resolutions were read, ex-
Congressman White took exceptions to
the resolution endorsing President Har-
rison. He said if the President had con-
Quoted himself asshe should there would
have been no opposition at this time. At
this point, Captain
| Whites Voice Was Drowned in Kisses.
Ex-Congressman Cheadle came to his as
sistance and told the convention that
| Captain White was Republican who,
four years ago, received 1400 votes more
than Mr.. Harrison. Captain White pro-
ceeded amid the Kisses: ''What has
President Harrison done?' he asked.
Everything" shouted the delegates.
| In spite of the kissing, Captain White
continued: 81 have no personal differ
ences with Mr.. Harrison, but do not
think the Indiana delegates should go te
Minneapolis with their hands tied"
| The resolutions were then adopted,
and four delegates at large to the nation
al convention elected, after which the
convention adjourned.

IN JoRDAN's COOPER SHOP.
Early Morning Fire Calls the Department
to the Dump.

The fremen have paid another visit to
the big cooperage building at fhe foot of
Wilmot street. They went down there
one bitter cold night about monte ago
and put out a fire which pretty complete
ly Quilted the main portion of the build
ing. This morning, Mr.. Mel Meserve,
who drives one of the post office mail
wagons, while putting up his team, saw
a blaze on the roof of the drying room
connected with the cooperage building
and sent in an alarm from box
"a at 2.30. The drying room
is a low structure and it contained some
lumber, a good deal of fire and more
smoke when the department arrived. In
fact, smoke enough to provide Vesuvius
with a weeks supply, vas in the build
ing. Holes were cut in the roof of the
dry house and hydrant streams turned
on. As the firemen could not enter that
part of the building, they found their
task long one even if it was not parti-
cularly exciting.
Mr.. Granville E. Jordan owns the
building. When the structure was Quilted
during the winter he lost quite heavily.
The loss by this mornings blaze could
not be estimated nor could it's cause be
ascertained.

LISTEN TO JOHN BULL.
Jingoism Rampant Oyer in the Tight Lit
tie Isle.

LONDON, March 10.-The news from
America is the absorbing topic of dis
cussion, SO far as foreign affairs are con-
cerned, and it is intimated strongly that
should the American government at
tempt retaliation against Canada, Eng
land will withdraw from arbitration and
meet any issue that the United States
may choose to raise in Behring Sea, with
plain assertion of the right of English
subjects to hunt for seals outside of the
recognized limit of the United States ju-
risdiction. This position is urged by
many of the Tories, and is said to be re-
garded without disfavor, although as yet
without open approval, at the foreign Of
flee.
The Tories regard the time as favora-
BILE for demonstration to sOothe the IL
ritation that exists among the large num-
Der of working people who have been
deprived of employment on account OF
the Mckinley law. This feeling is espe-
cially strong in Wales and the mannfac-
turing districts, which are also strongly
liberal, and which some supporters of
the government think might be won over
to Lord Salisbury by any course that
would cause the Americans to suffer
something in retaliation for the suffering
which their high tariff has brought upon
many thousands in Great Britain. For
these reasons, Lord Salisbury's attitude
is openly supported by the Tories, and it
is not without sympathy among Liber-
ais.
In naval quarters, while officials are
reticent, unoficially it is stated that the
British squadron in the Pacific can be
depended upon to do its duty in the
event of any encounter with the Ameri-
cans. 1t is well known that during the
recent revolution in Chill the sympathies
of Rear Admiral Charles F. Hotham and
his fellow officers were strongly
with the revolutionists, and
that they would like nothing
better than a chance to rebuke the course
of the American navy. A few of the
Chilian naval officers had been trained in
company with the British officers, and
there was strong fellow feeling. This
feeling has not diminished with Chili's
surrender to American demands, and,
said gentleman yesterday who is per-
soma grata at the Admiralty: s"The
Americans will make a most serious
blunder if they suppose there will be
any hesitation on the part of the British
navy in defending British subjects en-
gagged in an occupation which Great
Britain holds to be lawful

NAVY DEPARTMENT READY.
They Will Seize the Sea1ers If England
Doesn't Interfere.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Gen. J. W.
Foster of the State Department is assist
President in the Behring Sea fisheries ne
gotiations. He had long conference
this afternoon with Secretary Tracy and
Commodore Ramsay, chief of the bu-
reau of navigation. 1t is said the con-
ference related to the course to be pur-
sued by the navy if Great Britain de-
clines to renew the modus vivendi, in en-
forcing the position of this government
that pelagic sealing in Behring Sea
should be wholly suspended pending the
settlement by arbitration of the contro-
versy. 1t is asserted in some
quarters that the Navy Department
will be prepared to force such policy
provided there is no resistance thereto
on the part of the British government
A disposition by that government to re-
sist any interference with merchant ves-
sells flying it's flag desiring to enter Beh-
ring Sea, would put an entirely different
phase on the question.

Washburn today introduced bill to
further regulate immigration and to pre-
vent the importation of aliens under con-

return of any passenger found brought
over in violation of law, and prescribes
certain written declarations regarding
the previous condition of immigrants to
be made before permission is given to
land. It also prescribes penalties for vi

LONDON, March 10. - The Durham
miners have decided, by ratio of ten to
one, in favor of quitting work for two
weeks or longer, beginning Saturday
next. 1t was thought the Durham men
would accept slight reduction in wages
rather than lie idle, but the vote taken
at the meeting shows them overwhelm-
ingly against reduction, The Scotch
miners, with the exception of those en-
ployed in the Sterling district, have de-
cided not to strike and will limit work to
five DAYS q week.
