SNOW STORMS IN EUROPE.
The FAN is General Throughout Gre'
Britain and in the Aims.

The FAN is General Throughout Great
Britain and in the Alps.
LONDON, Feb. II. = The snow storm
which began again this morning in Wales
and the Highlands of Scotland has become
general throughout the country. The snow
tall since Sunday has been heavier than all
the other SHOWS that have fallen dur
ing the whole winter. To add to
the general discomfort, the weather
remains intensely cold. This in
itself hampers the work of restoring tele-
graphic communication, which was greatly
interfered with by the breaking of wires and
the blowing down of poles Sunday night
and Monday, and it is expected that further
damage will be done by the present storm.
The snow is so deep and the weather so cold
that the coursing for the Waterloo cup, one
OF the great sporting events OF Great Brit
ain, has been suspended. There is every in
dication at present that the severe weather
will continue
A cable dispatch from Vienna says: The
snow fall in the eastern and central Alps
has been incessant since Friday, and it now
lies to a depth of from IL to 16 feet in
Hocheveitsch passes. A large number OF
cottages in Styria are almost buried. The
weather moderated to-day and thaw set in,
This has caused the utmost alarm among the
people dwelling on the Lower Alps and In
the mountain hamlets, as it is feared that
much destruction will be caused by the ava
lanche that is now threatening.

Los Angeles.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 17.-[Special. lone
of the greatest mysteries of this city has
been that of the Tongueless Man, which
has Just been solved. Last November a
priestly-looking man hired room at
the lodging house at the corner of
Fifth and Broadway. He was quiet, we'll
behaved and great church member. One
morning he was found in his room, blood
issuing from his mouth and bloody razor
in his hand
On examination it was found that he had
cut out his tongue with the razor. Bloody
tracks to the door, out in the hall and the
bathroom indicated that he had been
there. Search showed that he had thrown
his tongue down drain-pipe. Nothing
could be learned from him about his iden-
tity. He had plenty of money and paid
his bills After his wound healed he dis
appeared. He was thought to have been a
Catholic priest
1t now turns out that his name is George
Wilson. He goes garbed as PRIEST, but he
is a professional gambler. His family is
His father has Just died and left
an estate of S15O,OOO, 5000 of which
was left to him. The estate cannot be set
tied up until George has been found, and
detectives from New York are now in this
city looking for him. They state that
George has been the black sheep of
the family, and that his conduct
has caused them untold trouble. This state
ment suggested that the mans strange act
of cutting out his tongue was prompted by
remorse and humiliation for his past deeds.
When last seen in this city he was still
wearing his priestly garb, and was believed
to be staying at ST. Vincent's School.

A Sensational Exposure of German Rule in
East Africa-Only q Pretense of Ti1ling
the Soil-Growing Fat Or Customs
Shocking Barbarity.
BERLIN, Feb 17.-Eugene Wolff, the
newspaper correspondent whose reports to
the Idgeblatt on the disaster of the Zelewski
expedition and other matters caused Chan
cellor Won Caprivi to order his expulsion
from German East Africa in November
last, has published an amplifed attack on
Baron Soden's administration of the Gov
ernorship of the East African colony.
Wolff says that all officers of experience in
from the service or have resigned in dis
gust, and that the Soden regime has de-
stroyed public confidence and stopped prog
ress and is bound to end in disaster.
VOLTS article will form the subject of an
Interpolation in the Reichstag.
DR.. Marseille, the medical adviser of the
Sultan of Zanzibar, gave two years ago de-
tails with regard to the causes of the
troubles in East Africa and how the Ger
mans acted toward the natives. He said
the attempts at plantation made by the
German colony in the vast territory ceded
by the Sultan were never serious. In the
meantime, the Germans led at Zanzibar a
luxurious life, and the greater part of the
money was spent in champagne. For the
administration of this territory, which they
had obtained from the Sultan, they had en-
gagged to pay annually 100000 rupees; but
their chief object was the receiving of the
customs duties. The contract, however, was
drawn up in such way that the 300, 900
rupees never had to be paid, the Sultan
being made their debtor for the opening of
ways of communication and for other i'm
provements.
The convention came into operation on
the 14th of August, and within two months
from that date the German civilizers had
despoiled everything. The Germans be-
haved with extreme brutality, and for the
merest trifes shot down the natives. The
Germans commenced by suppressing the
flag of the Sultan, which was to float with
the German flag on the custom houses, and
even to have the chief position, as the Sui
tan remained sole proprietor of the terri
tories administered by the Germans. The
protests of the natives were met by acts of
violence

sales for future delivery tended to depfess
prices and should not be permitted unless
the wheat was about ready for delivery.
Mr.. Cheatham said the Southern people
were wheat consumers, and asked jf the
present system gave them cheaper bread.
MI. Pillsbury replied in the affirmative,
provided the question were looked at from
o purely Southern standpoint, and with
nothing save wheat taken into considera-
tion.
A question having been asked relative to
the terms of good bill. Chairman Hatch
said the published statement that the bill
was to be railroaded through the committee
and the House was too ridiculous for denial.
The committee would give verv close and
careful consideration to the provisions OF
any proposed bill, would listen to all criti-
cisms, and would give ample time for public
discussion of the bill before calling it up in
the House.
How England Has Acted.
Nh. Clifford, of Kankakee, Ill, said that
in surplus-producing country no good ef-
feet could follow ''short" selling, for the
''shorts" always wanted lower prices. Eng
land, being an importing country, had
passed years ago law against the bulls,
and America, being an exporting country,
should pass law to prevent depression of
prices that was contrary to the law of sup
ply and demand. He thought the law
should be so framed as to give the right to
buy for future delivery, and when delivery
was contracted for, to sell those contracts,
either before or after delivery. He pro-
posed q number of other notifications in
the terms of the bill before the committee.
The hearings will close tomorrow.

CRIPPLE CREEK, COL, Feb. T.-ESpecial. ]
The greatest strike yet made in this camp
was made yesterday, in the Blue Bell, on
Squaw Gulch. About P. NJ, a

body of silver glance 26 inches thick. The
ore comes out in massive chunks, weighing
as high as 800 pounds. The entire matter is
almost solid ore. Mr.. Guyot, the assayer,
says it is the finest silver ore he has seen in
years.
Stock in this property, which is stocked
at $50, 900, went up in an hour from 10 cents
to 25 cents per share. Three shifts of men
are working night and day, and the first
full car of ore from this prop

If the vein continues at its
present thickness at least carload of high
grade ore per day can be shipped if the
roads are improved. On Galena Hill, just

Fredericks, Chief of the Warsaw police,
has arrested at Dumbowa the son of the
