about O'Clock and showed almost with
out interruption until noon today. A
light snow has fallen part of the after

snow storm over. The storm is the heav-
lest known since December Ii, 1884, when
there was fall of between two and one
half and three feet.
The cable line has been kept open, but
all electric lines have been stopped since

The Northern Pacific has had rotary
snow plows at work SO that railroad traffic
has been very little impeded. The storm
has done little actual damage. Farmers
in the valleys are delighted with the snow
and say it will insure big crops next year.

NIcARAGUAN CANAL.
A Bill on the Subject Introduced in the
senate by Senator Sherman.

-
senate by senator Sherman.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The new
Nicaraguap canal bill reported by Sena-
tor Sherman, is drawn on substantially
the same lines as the bill reported from
the committee to the last Congress, in
Guiding as it does, the proposition to
guarantee the bonds of the company TO
the extent of 800, 0OO, 900 to aid the con-
struction of the canal. The new bill,
however, contains some additions which
increase the obligations of the company
as well as security to the government.
For instance, the real and personal prop
erty and franchises of the company are
included in the liabilities. 1t is provided
that all all the stock heretofore sub
scribed for and issued shall be called in
and cancelled; all bonds issued redeemed
and cancelled. and all outstanding obi
cations satisfied before the act takes
effect.
Dates are changed to make the bonds
issue January, 1898, and mature in 1858.
But they also are made redeemable at the
pleasure of the United States after 1923.
The section requiring the company to ex-
ecute mortgage to the United States as
security for the guarantee is amended by
the addition of clause requiring the
mortgage tc contain provision for sink
ing fund for payment of the bonds at ma
turity. If the company default in pay
ment OF interest or in other respects be-
fore the canal is put in operation, the
right OF foreclosure shall at once attach in
favor of the United States.
The bill excludes from expenditures
that may be taken into account any con-
sideration paid, or agreed to be paid, TO
the Nicaragua Construction company or
other parties for expenditures by them,
aud for concessions to Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, and the total amount of prin-
ciDal and interest of bonds that nav be
issued for first payment is fixed at &, 09O,-
600 instead of "a ,O00, 900 as in the original
bill.
Perhaps the most important changes in
this bill are those made in the section
relative to the issue of stock. In the new
bin this is limited to 500, 900, COO,
SO. 600, 600 to be retained by the
company, the amount stipulated
to be delivered to the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Rlca, &C
cording to concessions, and the remainder
to be issued to the United States, full
paid and not subject to assessment. To
be voted by the president of the United
States or his proxy at stockholders meet
ings. and but three directors are to be Sc
lected from the bolders of stock other
than that owned by the United States. In
the last section amendment is made so
that ten instead of six of the fifteen di-
rectors shall be appointed by the presi-
dent Of the United States, not more than
five of whom are to be from one political
party.

Royal Reception.
ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 21.-Vice- presi-
dent-elect Stevenson and party reached
here at noon. The party Was heralded by
the scheeching of whistles, ringing of
bells aud boomingIof cannon. The crowd
at the depot was so intense that it was
reminder of Cleveland's visit. The hotel
corridors were crowded with Georgians
ANXIOUS to catch glimpse of the man to
whom they attribute credit for the greater
part OF the Democratic cyclone in the
west. The programme for the afternoon
included drive over the city, and to-
night the formal dedication Of the Com
mercial club occurred, the exercises being

place in the parlors of the club, but the
speaking was in the chamber of COM
merce hall in the same building. MIR.
Stevenson, in responding to the address
of welcome, spoke briefly. He said, in
part:
"You are all to be congratulated on
the fact that general strife and sectional
hatred are things of the past. Let the
dead past bury its dead; we turn our eyes
resolutely hopefully to the future. The
danger which threatened this south land
by hostile legislation las been averted.
The dark shadow of the force bill no
longer hangs over the south. The high
sense of justice of the American people
has saved you, as 1 trust in God, for all
time, from the dire influence of legisla-
ton inspired only by distrust and hate.
History will not repeat itself. Voicing
the deep feeling of the state from which /
came, citizens of Georgia, | rejoice with

NO SCOOP GOES.
La Justice win Not Have Cinch on an
Exclusive Report.

PARIS, Dec. N.-The coming duel be-
tween Clemenceau, editor of La Justice,
and De RouIede is arousing considerable
interest. De Roulede has granted Glenn
enceau the choice OF weapons and prepar-
ations for the event are being pushed
rapidly forward. Friends of Clemenceau
say ne intends a duel to the death and will
be satisfied with nothing short of this.
De Roulede's friends aver he is also OF
deadly mind and intends to kill Clemen-
ceau or be killed himself. 10 prevent La
Justice from having an exclusive report of
the duel, thereby making enormous sales,
which would be especially narrowing to
De Roulede's friends in case of his defeat,
the latter have promised, 1t is said, 10
keep other newspapers fully and promptly
posted on the subject Both combatanJS
looked pale and in earnest this morning,
but otherwise they showed no sign of ap-
prehensiOn. The friends of both are loud
in predictions OF victory.
The report that Clemenceau and De
Roulede have serious intentions as to
duel tomorrow are fully confirmed The
conditions agreed upon will show the two
men to be remarkably lacking in nerve, if
there is no fatal results. They are to fight
with pistols, and be stationed twenty five
wards apart, but with the privilege OF adj
yancing to five PAGES. AS both men are
considered good shots. it is generally be-
lieved one or both will be killed.
The DeRoulede-C Iemenceau due is not
vet arranged. DeRoulede, although ac-
cepting Clemenceau's conditions, desires
to have the affair referred to court of ar
biiration which viii decide who is the
/ offender. The duel is consequently post
poned indefinitely.
Clemenceau remained in the Office of La
Justice until 1870 this morning without
having received General Saussier's reply
whether he would consent to arbitrate in
t g duel affair between him and Do
I RouI6e. The public prosecutor was en-
gage d until a late hour with the keeper Of
+ seals. There are rumors that Senator
Alfred Mathey and Deputies Baron De
! Mackau, Saint Martin, L. Augerere and
4 Iauer will be prosecuted

and Others Observation-Disclosures Poison
ing story From Virginia.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. 21.-[Special]-
From Bonanza comes meagre details of
a most cowardly crime. The story runs
as follows: Two med named Gladwin and
Stepheny went into that county last fall
from Colorado. where they claimed they
had been working in the mining district
near Pixies Pea1 The latter claimed to
know where there was big gold ledge in
the Big Horn mountains, in the Yellow
stone country, either in northern Wyo-
ming or Montana. The pair went to that
section. camping at Dry Head, in sight
of the Big Horn canyon. A little Irish
man named Gaffney came by their cabin
on his way from Sheridan to start sa-
loon in Hill, s. D., and was enticed by
the yarn about the rich ledge.
One day while Gladwin was absent from
the camp he heard shot and on return
ing found both Gaffney and Stephany
missing. Search was made for several
weeks with the assistance of range riders
and others. Finally Gaffney's remains
were found and on which the coyotes
had toasted. Stephany hasn't been
found. He is believed to have murdered
Gaffney and robbed him of his outfit,
gold watch and money.
Gladwin thinks himself lucky as he
now believes Stephany's story OF hidden
treasure was invented to lure him TO the
mountains and rob and kill him.

BRIGGS OBJECTS.
He Files an Exception to the Proceedings
in His Trial.


New YORK, Dec. 21.-In the Briggs
trial this morning, DR.. Briggs presented
an exception to the proceedings yesterday
in thBt DR.. Lampe, under the cloak of
reputable testimony introduced large
amount of evidence and new matters. The
new evidence submitted was extracts from
Professor Smiths waitings, John Bulli s
catechism and the life of Calvin. The
new matter introduced by Lampe was an
argument in metaphysical categories and
other points. He further objected to the
proceedings because three-fourths of the
statements submitted were in reference to
the original inaugural address, and other
matters considered by the prosecution in
their opening argument, and only one
fourth referred to the questions consid-
cred in Briggs reply. The exception was
filed.
Lampe then resumed his reading, he
quoted from Chillingworth. Henry Ham
mond, John White and other ministers of
the Westminster assembly TO prove that
! they held to the belief that the scriptures
were verbally inspired.
Lampe went on to say that all errors
that Briggs says biblical scholars find in
| the Bible have been known for genera
lions. Through new discoveries made in
Bible lands these difficulties have disap-
peared one after another. What the
prosecution claimed was that when the
Bible did assign an author to particular
| book its decision must be regarded as
final. The belief held for upwards of
900 years that, SO far as human agency
is concerned, the Pentateuch is the work
of Moses, could not be thrown aside with
out the clearest evidence of untrust-
worthiness.
In the New Testament Christ accepts.
as genuine history, the account of the
creation, of Noah and the flood, Sodom
Lanape then assailed at length the claim
of the highest critics that the Pentateuch
was written by number of independent
authors.
