WEATHER MAN HAS HOPES.

But Chicngoans Are Fast Losing Conn =
dence in Him.
CHICAGO. April 21.-The storm which has
been raging for three days still continues.
At late hour tonight sleet is falling fast
and tho wind blowing nearly forty mile
gait. 1t is ono of the most severe and long
continued storms known here since the
weather bureau was established. The
weather man has hopes that IL will pass
over Tomorrow, but it certainly doesn't I
look mach like il tonight The Worlds
fair buildings stood the strain we'll, no
damage being done to them except the
breaking of some pAnes of glass and the
overturning of statues.
In midway plaisance, whore the Egyp-
tian. Javanese. Japanese. Turkish and
other villages are erected, the
damage was more severe. some
fail buildings having been used quite
severely. The most serious feature
of the storm. however. has been the effect
Of December weather now prevailing upon
the people from tropical climates living in
these villages. The Javanese. Egyptians,
and Others, with thin clothes and made
quate protection from icy blasts in their
linhtlv constructed houses have suffered
eIeatly. Several of them are i'll and thero
are two or three cases of pneumonia among
them.
Much interest attaches to the final meet
ing of tho national commission of the
Worlds fair, to be held here next week.
The momentous question Of Sunday OPEN
ing is to come up before it again and q
lively time is expected.

Storm.
ST. PAUL, April 21. - The storm hal
now passed across the lakes and the north
west brsathes easier while looking itself
over and figuring mp losses. The storm.
which beats all records, began Tuesday and
continued with only slight Interruptions
until tonight. 1t extended from the con-
ter OF North Drkota east across the great
lakes, took in strip along the eastern
border of South Dakota. aud covered Min
nesota. Iowa and Wisconsin. Everywhere
it was the 6ame-rain, hard and steady, fol.
lowed quickly by heavy fall of wet snow.
The average depth in the territory men
toned ia about fifteen inches, and reports
of delayed business and threatened danger
to crops are general.
In south Dakota IL had little effect on
crops and seeding went on uninterrupted.
The railroads are suffering from the effects
of the storm and the slight cold wave
troubled stockmen.
Fargo and Grand Forks. which have been
anxiously watching the rising of Red river
for the past week or more. are now more
than ever fearful of the results of food.
Where wheat is already sown it is hoped 10
ill effects of snow will be felt, but in other
sections seeding will be delayed for two
weeks or more.

INTERMOUNTAIN STOCKMEN.

Proceedings of the Second Annual Con-
vention Mt Ogden.
OGDEN, Utah. April 2l.-The second an
nual convention of the Inter M mountain
StockRrowers' association met in session
here yesterday. Gov. Thomas. in the course
of his address before the meeting, said:
Cattle can no longer be trusted on the
range to find feed. Arid lands are depre-
ciatinR in value because they cannot be
utilized as nature intended them.'' Other
speakers we're J. II. Nef. editor of the
Drovers' Telegram. of Kansas City; Col. E.
P. Savage, of South Omaha, and Mayor
Lindy. of Ogden.
A set of resolutions was introd uced dur
ing the afternoon, reciting that in the
western half of the United States there
are. exclusive of mineral and agrioultu al
lands, two million square miles of arid
mountain and desert lands. majority of
which is yet owned by the government;
that under the present federal laws on
homesteading, tho government derives no
revenue from the arid belt; that said lands
are only useful for stock raising; that con-
slant strife and some bloodshed result from
men to secure property rights over the
lands used. under which circumstances
congress is asked to cede the arid lands to
the various states and territories, making
the necessary restrictions for tho ressrvs-
tion of mining and fertile lands.
The resolutions also favor the admission
Of the territories to the union at the
earliest practicable moment; the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, and the har-
monizinG of sheep and cattle interests.
Officers elected for the ensuing year are:
Orlando North. of Nevada. president; II.
l.. Armstrong, of Ogden. Utah. secretary.
The next meeting of the convention was
decided te be held here a year hence, and
the convention adjourned.

Demands for Gold for Export Neces.

$10O,O0O,OoO.
About 100000 Ordered Friday
to Be Sent Out Of the
Country.
Tho Cabinet Discusses tho Situation and
Concludes There IL Nothing Alarm
ing in the Situation.

WARRINGTON, April 21.-At the cabinet
meeting this morning at which all members
OF the cabinet were present with the sx-
ception of Secretary Herbert. of the navy
department.. the financial situation. it is
understood, was the almost exclusive topic of
discussion. The meeting lasted for two
hours and half and was tho longest SEES
sion of ths cabinet since the new adminis-
tration came into power. When the treas
ury department. closed It's doors this after
noon the gold reserve of $1OO. 900. 600 was
invaded to the extent Of from 81. 500, 600 to
$3,0OO.0O0. When the day opened there
was in the trensury $lS5.000 free gold.
This amount was increased by gold offers
from the west agRrsRating about 81. $50, 600.
Large withdrawal OF gold for shipment
from Now York cut this down to such an
extent that when the cabinet met Secretary
Carlisle found that orders for gold up to
that time (about ono o'olook) had wiped
out the free gold and invaded the
gold reserve to the extent of $2-
557. 600. As far AZ 1t can be Off
cially ascertained, this amount was taken
out of the gold reserve to-day for export
TO- morrow. although IL was unofficially
stated that 100000 in gold exclusive of
that taken out at New York. was with
drawn from the sub-treasury at Boston for
export to Canada. II 80, this would mnke
about s., 000 900 in gold taken out of the
country for shipment tomorrow. and
leave the gold reserve invaded to the ex-
tent of $5,0Oo.0oO. and the total gold ia the
treasury at $95. 600 coo.
Ii is believed that this Invasion Is but
temporary, and within few days the de-
pleted reserve will be restored to the oriRi-
nal figure, 800. 900.
While nothing official can bs obtained
here as 10 tho decision of the treasury de-
partment in regard to the payment in gold
Of treasury notes of 1890. tho fact that
these notes. are being paid In gold upon
presentation. proves conoiusively that they
will for the present at least be redeemed az
heretofore.
The construction placed upon Secretary
Carlisle's statement given to the press last
night Was that when he reached the limit
Of the gold reserve he would exercise his
discretion and pay this class of notes when
presented for redemption In silver. To
this extent only are the occurrences OF to-
day a surprise. It can be stated with posi-
tiveness that there is no disagreement ON
ths financial situation between the presi-
dent and Secretary Carlisle. or among the
members of the cabinet.

Surprise In Cath ollie Circles.

Special to The Independent
BUTTE. April 2l.--A sensation has been
created in Catholic circles in this city by
the report that tho financial affairs of the
church are in bad shape, apparently thr rough
Father Van de Ven. The priest has been
in charge of the church for five or six years
and has had full financial charge. The
subscriptions to the parochial school and
amounts realized from fairs were enough to
reduce the debt of this school to $25. 600.
but it is now found that these sums haye
not been paid and tho debt is still $45, 600.
Father Van de Ven left on a trip TO Europe
about three weeks ago and this condition
OF things has just come to light. Bishop
Brondel is in the city and is investigating
matters. 1t ia thought by many that the
priest used the money in real estate spscu-
lations, hoping thus to liquidate the debt
moro rapidly. The investments, however,
do not appear to have been proitably
placed.
