A SNOW BLOCKADE.
A Blizzard Sweeps Over a Part
of Nebraska.
Railway and Street Traffic Practically Stop
ped-A Collision on the Burlington
Northwestern Train Derailed.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. within a radius
of a hundred miles of Omaha last night the
storm partook of the nature of blizzard,
although the temperature was moderate.
For about fourteen hours the snow fell in
driving clouds and was carried along by a
stiff gale from the north. Reports received
here tonight indicate a general blockade.
In this city traffic is generally suspended
and the electric street car lines are so
thoroughly blockaded that it will be at
least two days before they rua again.
But few serious accidents are reported.
The Burlington east bound flyer coIlided
with light engine four miles west
of South Omaha and both engines were
badly wrecked. The engineer and fireman
escaped injury, but William E. Booth of
Troy, N. Y, who was stealing ride on the
mail car, had both legs so BADLY mangled as
to necessitate smputation. He may die.
Tue Chicago Il Northwestern west bound
flyer was derailed near Council Bluffs and
delayed several hours, but no one was in
jured. The storm has abated, but the tenn
perature is falling.

DEEP WATER HARBOR.
San Pedro Bay in the Pacific Selected as a
Sita

San Pedro Bay in the Pacific Selected as
Site
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE report of the
board of army engineer officers to make ez-
animation of the relative merits of San
Pedro and Santa Monica bays as site for
a proposed deep water harbor on the Pacific
slope was today submitted to Congress.
The board reports a unanimous opinion for
the location selected by the bonrd of en-
gineers OF 1890, at the present anchorage
at the westerly side of San Pedro bay,
under Point Fermin, as a more eligible
location for such harbor in depth, width
and capacity 10 accommodate the largest
vessels, and the commercial and naval
necessities of the country.
The report of the board estimates the
cost of the proposed deep water harbor at
San Pedro at 81, $50, 324. In considering
the relative advantages of the locations
suggested, the board says the proposed
harDor should not be primarily a port of
refuge but port of commerce. The OBJ
Ject it says, is to provide fine hsrbor
for the foreign trade, which will become
of great Importance, and the coa5ting trade
is a matter Of secondary Importance from
national view. The capacity of the har-
Dor for defense is matter OF the highest
moment, since an indefensible port is
war. We have now too many such ports,
aud it is not desirable to increase the num-
! Der.
Contrasting the harbor of San Pedro
and Santa Monica 1t says the deep water
en- trance 10 San Pedro is one and one-half
times as wide as the eastern entrance to
Santa Monica harbor and has a much bet
ter offing Santa Monica harbor is free
/ from hidden dangers, but 10 the San Pedro
harbor there is rock covered by eighteen
feet of water This rock is not in the line
! OF vessels and is not considered a serious
danger, but its removal is regarded as de-
sirable It's sailing distance from trans
Pacific ports is practically the same. AS
respects the coasting trade. which is prin-
cipslly lumber, Santa Monica enjoys about
twenty-five miles an advantage of San
Pedro, but this is thought TO be unimpor-
tant.
Should the Nicaragua canal be completed
the board says it is predicted that there
| will be very great increase in the fruit
productions of southern California, and for
prospective traffic San Pedro will have the
same advantage in q less sailing distance
than Santa Monica mas in tue lumber trade.
| No essential difference is seen between the
two harbors as respects the advantages fer
the arrival and departure of vessels. San
Pedro harbor is regarded as the best To-
Gated as place for shelter and for the re-
ceipt and discharge OF freight and also bet
+ ter adapted TO the construction and main
| tenance of deep water harbor as we'll as
more cheaply defensib!6.

Enlistment of Camp Low on Sandy Hook,
and the secretary says additions " i'll be
made to the camp during the winter with a
view to its utilization should cholera again
re-appear in the spring or summer.
On the subject of quarantine the secre-
terry says state laws cannot properly con-
troll or direct the management of great
guarantees when other states are inter-
ested the whole country should have
o voice in their ownership and
management. and this can only
be accomplished by such legislative
action as will forbid the collection of quar-
ant ne fees by state Or municipal authority
and which shall direct assumption of all
quarantine duties by the United States.
The most serious epidemic this country has
ever known can be traced to immigrants,
and it must be apparent that the same au-
thority that controls immigration should
control quarantine. Admitting that par
ticuar local quarantine may be perfectly
managed, of what avail is it if another
neighboring post has either lax or INSULT

THE DEACON CASE.
The Appeal for an Absolute Die
yOrce Comes up Today.
GLADYS, the Little Daughter, Is Still secreted
from the Fatber-The Abeille Family
Helping Mrs. Deacon.

AK, France, Dec. Especial. THE
appeal of Edward Parker Deacon for an
absolute divorce comes up in the court to-
morrow, and in view of the victory
achieved by Mrs. Deacon in the court of
appeals the action of her attorneys is
looked forward to with unusual in terest.
The large influence of the Abeille family is
used in every direction for Mrs Deacon,
and they will do everything to save her
from the consequences of the action her
husband has brought against her for the
criminal relations with Abeille. Should
Mrs. Deacon be found guilty of this charge
she would be liable to Imprisonment or
fine, or both.
With reference to the charge against
MIR. Deacon, that he subsidized certain
journals, current rumor has il that the
Abeille family spent 800 900 francs to oo-
tain Mr.. Deacon's conviction, and that of
this sum 10000 francs were spent in Sc
curing articles hostile TO him to be pub
lished in French newspapers.
Mr. Deacon's lawyer. Maitre Clunot,
the highest authority in France on inter
national law, proved to the court that
French tribunals have no jurisdiction over
foreigners in divorce cases unless both
parties TO the suit consent to submit to the
French law. The judges of the tribunal of
the Seine admitted the correctness of this
contention aud volunteered to give Mr..
Deacon the custody OF all the children If
he SC desired.
This done the Judge read Mrs. Deacon
lesson on propriety which made her SO
angry that she ran out OF court without hear.
ing the end OF it. She at once proceeded
to the convent OF Our Lady of the Assump-
ton and abducted her eldest daughter,
Gladys, and has thus far managed to Sc
crete her from Mr.. Deacon. She appealed
to the first chamber of the court of appeal
against the decision of the tribunal of the
Seine, and her side of the case was ably
presented by Maisrs Barbour.
1t is supposed that she will now obey the
order of the court and replace the child in
the Convent of Our Lady of the Assump-
ton. The judgment of the first chamber of
the court of appeals remains in force until
judgment is pronounced on Mr.. Doacon's
application for divorce.

HARRIS0N'S MESSAGE.
The View Taken by the London New
PaDerg

The View Taken by the London News
Papers
LONDON, Dec. THE Times says: ''Har-
rison ascribes the drain of gold from
America to political movements IN Europe
By many Republican leaders, however,
nothing of the kind is required to explain
the phenomenon which everybody ac-
quainted with the first principles of cur
rency legislation could predict with abso-
Lutte confidence when America first under
took to control the market. Harrison ap-
pears to be entirely unconscious of the
monetary conference failure. He talks
about delay in compelling other nations TO
change their coinage. What q hopeless
tangle of misconceptions is thus revealed.
surely, the existence of millions Of dollars
in the vaults of the American treasury
which nothing could induce the world to
employ ought to restrain even the retiring
president from talking this egregious non
sense. America may reverse her policy
but the world will long suffer from its ef-
fects. a revision to a sound poilcy may
disturb the silver market as the inevitable
result of laundering legislation but will
pave the way to healthier state Of al
fairs"
The Standard says: mot every one is
privileged to vent mis- spleen in the form
of state paper. Harrison's message is
not meant TO be grevious, neither is it
impressive, like the epistle of a rejected
lover, sincerely trusting she will not rus
bitterly the preference accorded TO one
unworthy of her protection. The warning
to Canada is polite compared with the
threat once hurled at Chill. but had the
flavor nevertheless. There is unwelcome
ambiguity in the reference to the Behring
sea matter, but it matters little what he
says, as IchabOd is written in every SEN
tence."
The Chronicle says "Harrison's tariff
remarks reminds one of the school boy
maxim: If you tell lie, tell big IN
and stick to it, 1t may now be regarded
as certain that America will make the
Nicaragua canal and thus prevent France
from reviving he Panama scheme"
The Daily Telegraph, commenting on the
message, refers TO the programme of the
British agricultural conference. In con-
nection with the presidents remarks on
agriculture, it says: Nothing could be
more misleading than Harrison's remarks.
The only thing that saves America from g
vast, terrible social catastrophe IS the ex-
tent and cheapness of her outlying lands
and her superb system of railroads. With
regard to the troubles of English tenant
farmers, however, nothing could be q
wilder or worse step than retaliation on
McKinleyites by excluding American corn
and beef"

CORNER FIFTEENTH AND g. STREETS.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Z, 1892.
Delegate Game, when asked by The
HERALD correspondent today what was the
prospect of the passage of the bill for the
public building at Salt Lake city, said that
in his opinion the House would not pass
the Salt Lake bill at this session or any
other bill having like object in view. Mr..
Game believes that it mas been practically
decided on the part Of the Committee on
Rules that no public building bills shall
pass this Congress. Not one went through
both houses in the last session although the
Senate passed its usual number.
There seems to be q strong disposition
among the leaders on the Democratic side
to keep appropriations down to the lowest
possible limit, and in order to do this pub
lie building bills will be among the first
sacrificed.
Senator Dubois is of the same opinion as
Mr.. Game concerning the prospects of leg
islation upon public building bills which
tave passed the Republican Senate and for
that reason he thinks that Boise City has
no chance during this Congress OF securing
building for its federal officers.

A Report Sent Congress Regarding the
Treaty Of 1917.
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE president
today in answer to g resolution transmit
ting to the Senate the report Of the secre-
tary of state on the agreement between the
United States and Great Britain concern
ing ornaments on the great lakes. The
resolution called for an opinion as 70
whether the arrangement of 1917 was now
held to be in force. The secretary of state
says correspondence exchanged IN 1864
shows how it is regarded. II does not aD-
pear, ne says, thai any British or Cana
dian naval vessels are now or have been
for many years stationed IN the lakes.
The report further says, however, 1t is
recently learned by the Treasury Depart
ment that the two vessels recently con-
structed for the Canadian government at
Owen sound, revenue cutters, are IN
reality capable of adaptation TO naval pur-
poses. Additional weight is lent TO this
case by the precautions taken TO guard the
vessels FROM public inspection In closing,
Secretary Foster says: st seems most de-
slraOle now, IN view Of the long lapse OF
time and the vast changes that have
occurred, that the arrangement has now
grown obsolete in practice and is surviving
in letter only. As declared guarantee OF
international peace, 1t should be modified TO
lit the new order Of things, and with such
an adaptation to the exigencies OF tbs
future as prudence may forecast"

WORK OF CONGRESS
An Impassioned Speech Delivered
by Senator Vest.
The Indian Territory His Theme-A Scath-
ing Arrangement of Federal Officials
in that Country.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm the Senate to-
day after the presentation Of the treasury
report and the presidents message in re-
gard to a naval establishment on the great
lakes, Mr. Hill introduced bill to repeal
the act of July, 1890, directing the pur-
chase Of silver bullion, which was referred
TO the committee on finance.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Vest as to the alleged partlsan action by
employees of the census bureau was re-
ferred to the committee on contingent ex-
penses.
The joint resolution introduced yester-
day by Mr.. Vest for the appointment of a
commission to make an agreement with the
Indians in the Indian Territory tor taking
lands in severalty and selling the re-
mainder of their lands was taken Up, and
Mr.. Vest made an lmpassioned
speech. He said the four ada
cent states were directly and i'm
mediately concerned in changing
the existing statues OF the Indian Terri :
tory. The territory today is q menace to
civilization. Crime is rampant and cor
ruption rife. The territory today was a
depot for crime. Criminals from adjacen
states TOOK refuge there, and from thence
made raids. He instanced the Dalton gang,
and referred to the fact That some OF the
Dalton brothers were at one time deputy
marshals in the territory. Mr.. Vest as
serted that large number of deputies in
she territory were taken from the lawless
cases. No such monstrosity had even been
known in judicial annals as the system of
organized plumber practiced in the United
States courts there, the whole object OF
the officials being to obtain fees. The
resolution went over without action.

of Representative Mcdonald having been

Fifth Charge
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Doctor Birch re-
sumed the reading of his argument in the
Briggs case today, the fifth charge being
taken up. In this Briggs is accused of
teaching that Moses is not the eut Tor Of
Pentateuch, which teaching is contrary to
the essential doctrines of the standard
church. A formidable array of scripture
edicts was adduced in the printed charges
to show the falsity of Briggs theory.
Doctor Birch said the only authority on
the authorship of the Pentateuch was the
Bible itself If Moses did not write the
Pentateuch. sale be. no Jew can be blamed
for rejecting Christ. If Moses did not
write the Pentateuch, Christ himself is
dishonest.

Briggs expounded in the inaugural address
by showing their effect upon practical
Christianity. He had not concluded when
