head, Mimi, at the same hour it was
81 below; at Minnedosa, 3s below, and
at Winnipeg, AZ below.
Train service all over the northwest
is badly demoralized. The wind has
blown from all points of the compass
and railway cuts have been filed full.
The Pelican Rapids train was showed
in on the prairie for thirty-six hours,
and a number of passengers had to
walk 10 miles to Pelican Rapids through
the drifts, with the mercury 80 degrees
below zero. Great Northern trains due
here from the west are indefinitely late
and all passenger trains from the east
are from two to four hours late.
Freight is only taken subject to delay.

recent blizzard stopped railway
traffic to a considerable extent

to hover in the vicinity of 40 below

of a let up.
CANTON, Kan, Feb. 4.-The blizzard
claimed one victim in this part Of
Kansas. About dusk on Tuesday little
Eva, the 6-year-old daughter of
j. Ii. Robinson, farmer living
in this vicinity. started to go
home from her grandmother's, the
distance being about IL miles
across perfectly open country.
The child did not get home that night,
but nothing was thought of it, as it
was supposed that she had remained at
her grandmother's. Thursday when
the truth was learned, a search party
was organized and the dead body of
the child was found crouching in
fence corner, where she had vainly
striven to find shelter.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. 4.-The
suffering among the 5000 boomers
camped out on the borders of the
Cherokee strip from the blizzard of
Wednesday was something terrible,
and had not the temperature risen
Thursday it would have been doubled.
Cases too numerous to mention of
frozen feet, hands, noses, and ears are
reported from the camps nearest here.
In one big camp, Ii miles southeast of
this city, the campers lost a number of
horses from the cold and exposure, as
they were absolutely without shelter.

Most of the town is under water. The
Mary river bridge, the largest one in
the colony, has been carried away.
The town has been deserted by two
thirds of it's inhabitants.
BRISBANE, Feb. 1.-THE water is fis-
ing steadily in this city. The lower
districts are completely submerged.
In the lower portions of the main
street it is 20 feet deep. The shops and
their contents are almost a total loss,
as the flood came on SO rapidly that
only small part of the stock could be
removed. Men are Mt work in boats
trying to save the contents of thirty
or forty stores before the water
rises to them. The Brisbane river
bridge. which connected North and
South Brisbane, was swept away Sum
day night. All the inhabitants are
crowding to the higher parts of tho
city In consequence of the interrupt
tion of railway and telegraphic COM
munication only scanty information
about the disasters in other parts of
Queensland is obtainable. The list of
the dead grows hourly. Many bodies
are being found in houses which were
supposed to have been deserted.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 8.--An electric
light wire on Friday clectrocuted a
man and almost guillotined him as,
well, the current burning deep into his
neck and almost severing the head from
the body. The wire, which carried a
current of 1000 volts for the street

He approached in the opposite direc-

until he heard u sharp groan, and
turning saw the man in the grasp of
the deadly wire, which writhed and
coiled about him like some live mon

it. Several persons rushed to the
rescue, but on touching the man
were knocked senseless. He had
fallen with the wire coiled about his
neck, and cloud of smoke rose
as the deadly metal burned into
the flesh. A set of electricians tools
were at last secured and the wire cut.
The man was stone dead and the neck
almost severed. The pipe he was

New YORK, Feb. 6.-Mrs. William C.
Whitney died at o'clock Sunday
morning. She failed slowly but stead
lily from Saturday morning, despite all
that could be done for her. and all
hope was practically abandoned. Her
life was prolonged few hours by the
liberal use of oxygen, but at & o'clock
she passed easily away, Mr.. Whitney
and nurse only being present with
her. Mrs. Whitney was the only
daughter of Henry B. Payne, at one
time senator from Ohio and sister
of Oliver Payne of the Standard Oil
company. Tie death of Mrs. Whitney
awakened widespread sympathy
throughout the country and all day
kilograms and messages of coincidence
were received by the family.
Mrs Whitney fully deserved the
name of social leader. The social
functions over which she had for sew
eral seasons presided as hostess have
been numerous and various. Upon
these occasions her characteristics have
been uneXcelled dignity and grace,
charming self-possessiou and the rarer
qualities of kindliness of spirit and
genuine hospitality.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Secretary Car,

1t was after Mr.. Carlisle had conferred
with number Of senator's that the con.
clusion was reached that 1t would be we'll
not 90 push the resolution providing for
the change Of the hour of meeting to IL

might be construed as desire on the part
Of those friendly to the repeal bill to press

The action OF the various committees,
or rather their non-action, indicates that
there IL to be no general legislation until

he had offered on Tuesday to provide for q
joint select committee on finance, and
which he avowed was intended to super

The house adopted the code of rules
which will govern it during the Fifty
third congress-, subject to the decision Of
the committee on rules. which. under the
rules, has an almost absolute power to
direct the business of the body. The rules
vary but little from those that controlled

When first reported they contained one
radical change and re-enacted the clause
which permitted 100 members to consti-

This clause was borrowed from the rules
of the Fifty-frst congress, and, although
every member of the committee on rules
was In favor of 1t, the pressure brought
against 1t on the Democratic side proved
too powerful, and the committee, yielding
gracefully, surrendered their point, and
the clause was stricken out. After agree
