Those who anticipated an early visit
from gentle Spring were disappointed
Yesterday morning to find that old Mr..
Winter had postponed his departure for
an indefinite period, and seemed to be
so pleased with st. Paul that he would
remain in the city for some time.
Shortly after midnight of Sunday the
snow began falling in gentle particles.
1t quickly increased in force until the
air was full of the flakes, which began
to cover the ground in wasteful profu-
sion. The street car men, who had
gone home to their beds, were routed
out, and the cars were run all
night long in order to keep the
tracks in condition for travel.
1t continued to snow at intervals up to
a late hour last night, with the chances
of an lndefinate continuation. There
was fall of about four inches, and at
the office of the United States signal
service it was stated that it would con-
tinue showing all night. The fall was
heaviest here, but Yesterday morning
the storm center was over Des Moines,
10. 1t moved northWard and passed
south of st. Paul. Railroad traffic was
not interfered with to any extent, al
though some of the trains were not on
time. 1t was stated by the observer
that the storm would not be of great
duration, and that in about two days the
weather would moderate again.

ception accorded them. the ladies being
captivated by the pleasing manners of
the wif9 of the president, and the pIin-

land was the only lady that she ever
fell in love with. During the day Mr..
Davies, unaccompanied by the princess
or any member Of his family, called on
Secretary Gresham. This visit, like
that to the White house, was purely
social one.
Paul Neuman, the envoy of Queen

''If a commission is appointed, OF

DULUTH, MIMI, March 13.-An inter-
esting and rather sensational suit is now
on trial in the district court of this
county. II. HodgsOn, John ID. Hears
and Joel Gleason, three prominent wool
growers of Glendive, Mont, are plain
tlffs in a suit to recover 5000 worth of
wool in transit destined for West Su-
perior, Wis, and seized on the Mime
sofa side by the sheriff to help satisfy a
debt said to be due the Farmers Ma
tional bank, of Glendive, from the West
Superior woolen MILL 1t is alleged to be
an old debt contracted by E. j. Salt,
the manager of the West Superior con-
Germ, but formerly resident of Glen
dive. The plaintiffs are the original
consignors, who claim that the wool
couldn't be legally seized while i'll
transit to satisfy a debt of the con-
signee. A big array of legal talent is
trying the case. 1t seems that the Glen
dive bank kept an agent in Salts mill
as an employe to watch for an oppor-
tunity to pounce on property. When
he heard that Salt had ordered wool
from Montana the Glendiye bankers
had the consignment seized at Duluth.

SALTWATER, March 19.-A veritab BILE
March blizzard ragged yesterday in all its
fierceness, and business in all lines was
very dull. Snow fell all day, and a
sweeping northeast wind caused it to
drift. Strenuous efforts were made to
keep the street cars moving, but it
proved to be a hard task, and cars
moved only at irregular intervals, and
toward evening stopped entirely. Had
the volume of snow been as great as
during the storm of Feb. q, trains
would have had to stop running. but as
it was traffic was not hampered to any
extent between Saltwater and the
cities. No reports have been received
from the woods, but loggers fear that
the storm was general, and, if so, will
practically put stop to all operations.

ACCURATE UNCLE SAM.
Several Offers of Gold Declined
on Account of Light
Weight.
One Incident Showing How Par
ticular the Govern
ment Is.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The treas
ury department continues to receive Of
fers of gold from the West in exchange
for small notes, for which there is a
pressing and increased demand. Several
of the offers of gold, after they had
been made, had to be temporarily de-
clined, as it was found that the gold
was of light weight, and until those
who offered it made up the deficiency
in weight the government could not ac-
cept it. In this connection it is inter-
esting to note the absolute accuracy
which the government requires before
it will receipt for lightweight coin.
Only a short time ago n consignment
of coin was received at the treas
ury department from San Francisco.
The gold came in heavy canvas bags
and in an aggregate of quarter
of a million dollars of gold it was
found that it was nine cents light in
weight. The cashier of the treasury
had to make good the deficiency of nine
cents, but the bags themselves were
sent to the assay office at Philadelphia,

dred times the amount of light weight,

The treasury department is advised
that no gold has been engaged from the
New York SubtreaSury for shipment to-

ments is Friday, and no gold is expected
to be exported then. Customs receipts
are increasing, and during the month of
March it is anticipated that they will
foot up S1S,000,00O. For the first ten
days of this month the receipts at the

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The COM
mittec appointed by the Democratic

work, and will be ready to report OH
Wednesday. AS predicted by the

kota, gets a craftsmanship as we'll as a
place OH the committees on Indian
affairs and irrigation, two committees
of great Importance to his state. AS
chairman of the committee to investi-
gate the trespasses on Cherokee lands,
Senator Roach will have great deal to
do, but it will be outside the Northwest.
The fact that he was given the place,
however, indicates the standing he
has already secured in the sem
ate. In making up the Democratic
ends OF the committee the caucus
committee looked only to the views of
the members on the great living issue
of the present. the tariff, and treated
the three POpuliSt senators as Demo-
Gratis, giving two of them, Senators
Kyle and PETER, chairmanships, and all
firSt-class committee appointments.
Senator Kyle will be chair man of the
committee on education and labor, SEN

as well as a member of the co mmitteeS
OH Indian depredations and irrigation.
Senator PETER will be chairman of the
committee to examine the several
branches of the civil service, as we'll as
member of the committees OH agri-
culture, claims, immigration and the
Mississippi river. Senator Allen, ot
Nebraska, like Beckwith, OF Wyoming
gets no chairmanship, but is on several
of the best committees, notably Indian

will be seen that the three PopulistS
have been treated handsomely, gettin E
the same representation as the Dem O.
cratic members.
Immediately after the adjournment

Geavored to receive the cash he was met

the dispute, he told young Kiichlik he
