BosroN. Mass, March 3.-The storm
has ragged here all day with no sign of
abating. Last night it appeared
in new phase, or. rather, in phase not
heretofore prominent. The elements to-
dav have united in the production of the
biggest snowfall of the season, and there
are Is inches of snow on the ground.
The storm, which showed its greatest
violence Tuesday, was characterized,
first, by gales, less notably by drifting
snow. and last, but not least, cold
wave. The renewed violence of the
third days siege has all these elements
of terror: The wind is north, instead of
notheast; it has notso great a velocity as
two days ago, but the snow storm is
heavier. The wind has been blowing at

PARIS, March Sat the opening Of the
session of the Chamber of Deputies to-
day. Prime Minister Loubet and the 9TH
er members of the new cabinet entered
the chamber and took their seats. NJ.
Loubet Immediately afterwards ascend
ed the tribune and read a declaration of
the ministerial policy. The primary OBJ
iect of that policy, he said, was the de-
fense of all the laws of the republic, es-
pecially the laws relative to the military,
patriotism, equality and education, which
were the source of all national spirit and
the fundamental guarantee of liberty of
conscience. "The relations now existing
in France with the Church, NJ. Loubet
continued, ''have involved questions so
numerous and complex as to obscure
their underlying principles. The Con-
cordat assures the positions and rights
of the clergy, but at the same time, it
imposes on them, whatever their rank
may be, certain strict obligations. They
not only owe abedience to national laws,
but are bound to confine themselves to
the ministry and keep aloof from party
struggles and discussion. We shall un-
hesitatingly require from all the observ-
ance of these obligations, and we believe
we are armed with sufficient power to
enfore such observance. Measures are
now before you for improving the con-
dition of workingmen. We ask you to
examine especially those regulating the
labor of women and children in factories,
accident pensions to workingmen and
the arbitration of labor Disputes
After the declaration had been read,
the government denied any engagement
between the government and the Pope.
Debate on this subject was continued at
great length, and a motion approving the
government S explanation Of the clerical
question was carried, 341 to 81. The
ministerial policy pleases no one and the
clerical situation is regarded as being
left in statu quo.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this and
tomorrow evening The Still Alarm"
1t is a very successful comedy drama.
The story is strong, interesting, well told
and holds the full interest of its audience to
the final fall of the curtain. Few Ameri-
can play-writers have created such sensa-
tional yet natural stage effects as has
Joseph Arthur. He takes an exciting in
cident that mas been 4 part of the lie, or
an event in the life Of some real person,
and sets it upon the stage with the details
worked out, and with the realistic ac-
cessories. In The Still Alarm" the life
of fireman Of paid department is made
the hinge of the play. There are intro
duced trained horses, fire-engine, the
interior of an engine-hcuse, the turnout
for an alarm. The leading actors are
VIII S. Hawkins, Annie Crossman and
NJ. j. Gallagher. An addition is the little
tot Tuesday, a child niece of Mr.. Ar
