VERY HEAVY SNOW.
Three Feet of Snow on Level in MINNIE
sota-Business Suspended.

Three Feet of Snow on a Level in Alirine-
sota-Business Suspended.
ST. PAUL, April 20.-Three feet of snow
on a level on April 20 is a most unusual
fact, but that amount of snow fell last
night and today in some parts of Mime
sofa, the average being over a foot. A
heavy rain preceded the snow, which be-
gan in the northwestern part of the state
Tuesday night, extending rapidly and in
creasing until this afternoon, up to which
time fifteen inches had fallen. After two
or three hours of intermission it began
again and the air tonight is once more full
of flying snow. The street railway was
caught unprepared, so no cars were able
to run regularly during the morning.
At Minneapolis there was even a worse
experience. No cars were running up to
o'clock and at Saltwater the cars were
showed up in the street, being caught in
all parts of the city. The storm struck
Duluth and the lake cities at noon and
ragged furiously there all the afternoon.
All over the state the storm S progress
was unprecedented. The storm will de-
lay farm work from ten days to two
weeks. Altogether the farmers are
feeling rather blue over the prospect for
a wheat crop.
In the cities the storm caused almost a
complete suspension of business this
morning, but things are picking up some
what this afternoon. The railroads did
not suffer on the morning trains, but
those due in the afternoon were nearly all
late from one to five hours. The storm
was widespread, covering almost the en-
tire northwest.
A raging snowstorm is reported tonight
at Yankton, S. D., and cold weather in
that state causes fear of damage to stock.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Commissioner BIount and Minister Ste
vens Agreed ON the Recent Action.

Commissioner BIount and Minister Ste
vens Agreed on the Recent Action.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-A private let
ter from United States official IN Ha-
wall came in the mail last night. In ref
erence to the report that Commissioner
Blount directed the lowering of the
United States flag without consulting
with Minister Stevens, Admiral Skerritt
or any representatives of the United
States in Honolulu, the writer states that
Mr.. Blount did have a consultation with
Minister Stevens on the subject, and
while he does not say SO in so many
words, the inference to be drawn from the
letter is that Stevens conceded with the
commissioner in this action.
Another report, and one that found
much currency in Honolulu, is that the
japanese in Hawaii are contemplating
resistance by force to American domina-
ton in the islands and that they have
received arms to assist them in their de-
termination, is contradicted by the
writer, who states that the Japanese, and
in fact all people on the islands, are
peaceably inclined and do not anticipate
trouble. That in point of the fact the
only agitators there at present are the
newspaper correspondents.

'THE NICARIGUAN CANAL.
Exciting Scene at Meeting o
the Stockholders.
AN EX-EMPLOYEE'S CHARGES
lie Proposes Smith NJ. Weed TO Sue
coed Miller as President.
MIR. Weed Declines and Then Pronounce
the Charges Alleged as Untrue in
Every Particular--He also Makes
Vigorous Protest.

New YORK, April 20.-There was an
exciting time at meeting of the stock
holders of the Nicaragua Canal company
today, caused by George G. Knight, an
ex-employee of the company, who claims
to represent vast amount of English
capital and who earnestly desires the re-
moval of Warner Miller as president OF
the company and to have the project en-
tirely re- organized. Mr.. Knight declared
that the money of The canal company was
wasted in useless salaries and getting up
canal conventions in various parts of the
country, which merely furnish junketing
expeditions for the officers. According
to Knight through the operations of vot-
ing the trust stock of the company, which
trust was prolonged Tor two years after
the time it should have expired,
Warner Miller illegally had himself
elected president of the company. He
proposed Smith M. Weed as a successor to
Miller. The latter, he intimated, would
be peculiarly acceptable to all parties be-
cause of the peculiarly happy connection
of Weed with the present administration
at Washington. Knight read a scheme
for an entirely new canal company, to be
organized both under English and Amer
lean charters, which would complete the
canal.
Mr.. Weed rose at the conclusion OF
Knights speech and said he had come to
the meeting to protest against the use of
his name in any way with the movement
which Knight said that he was engineer
ing. Turning to Knight he said: "Your
statements in reference to the company
and its management, every single one,
are untrue.' He protested in the name
of Cleveland against the imputation that
it needed man of the presidents politi-
cal faith to present the canal matter to
the administration. He denied that Mil
Ter was illegally elected president of the
company, and closed by saying that the
American people would never permit the
English government to have a joint in
terest in the canal. No action was taken.

WORLDS FAIR RATES.
All Hope of Immediate Adjustment for
the Present Abandoned.

All Hope of Immediate Adjustment for
the Present Abandoned.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-Au the work done
by the Western Passenger association the
last six weeks went by the board today, as
all members of the association threw up
their hands and gave up all hope of an
immediate adjustment of Worlds fair
rates. The cause of the collapse was the
announcement by Passenger Traffic Man
ager White, of the Atchison road, that
his company would at the expiration of
thirty days Withdraw from membership
in the association. This would be done,
he said, because his line could not secure
protection in Worlds fair rates west OF
the Missouri river, where it does its larg
est business.
The Denver & Rio Grande had refused
to Join the association unless its local
troubles with the Colorado Midland were
settled. The Burlington and Rock
Island took the stand that the agreement
west Of the Missouri river was impossible
without the Denver & Rio Grande. This
was the splittingipoint and it proved an
effective one. The Atchison people say
they Withdraw not with any intention to
cut rates but simply to protect their
| revenues.

SHEEP AND CATTLE MEN.
Annual Meeting of the Montana Stock
Men at Miles City.

Men at Miles City.
HELENA, Mon. April Especial. J.
The annual meetings of men in the sheep
and cattle business have closed at Miles
City. Both Industries were reported as
doing very well. Reports from the ranges
are conflicting in estimating the winter
losses of cattle at from nominal to 60 per
cent The grass is very backward this
spring. Scab is present in few bands OF
sheep in eastern Montana.
The wolf question was the most inn
portant one considered. The governor
recently vetoed bill offering So bounty,
which the stock men wanted signed, as
the wolves never were SO numerous on
the ranges. 1t is estimated that % per
cent. OF calves, 10 per cent. OF colts and
immense numbers of lambs are lost an
nually by the wolves. Stockmen con-
slider poison useless as means of exter-
mination. The old officers were re-
elected.
