Omaha, March 21.-The blizzard which
developed in the northwestern part of
the state last night is moving slowly,
but steadily, toward the Missouri river.
Its progress is marked by the drifts
from six inches to two feet deep and a
general blockade of business.
Dispatches received tonight from
points in the interior of the state in
dictate that the storm has travelled east
ward about $50 miles in "a hours.
AT North Platte, Neb., the drifts are
from two to four feet deep and the
Union Pacific line is completely
blocked.
All trains are abandoned and a num-
Der are blockaded between stations.
Snow pIows are out and efforts are
being made to clear the tracks.
Kearney, Hyannis, Elsie, McCook
and other points report snow deep and
drifting badly. 1t is not very cold, but
the mercury is below the freezing
point, ranging from ten to twenty de-
gress above.
The Burlington lines in the west and
northern part of the state and in the
Black Hills are badly blocked. A mes
sage from Buffalo. Wyoming, says:
The storm here has assumed the pro-
portions of one of the worst billiards
| in the history of this section. 1t is
feared that the ranges will be covered
with cattle succum bling to the expos
ure of the blizzard, and the sheep
owners are almost in despair. The
recent warm weather makes the situa-
| ton all the worse.
Telegraph wires are in a very bad
shape and have been useless for hours
There are rumors of deaths from ex-
posture, but these can be neither veri.

impossible to take any action to fine
out the truth.
One cowman, belonging to a ranch
eleven miles north of Douglass, RODE

Denver, March 21.-The Times will
say this afternoon that Governor
Waite has formed a plan to storm the
city hall on the night of the decision Of
the supreme court is rendered in the
matter of his police and fire appointees,
in case the decision is against him.
He suspects the loyalty of the militia
and has caused State Game Warden
Callocatte TO swear in a thousand dep
uties, who will be furnished with state
arms and make the assault. The gov
ernor's opponents are fully apprised
of these preparations and have made
every preparation for defense.
The Sheriff Aroused.
Sheriff BurchinelI declares that the
game warden's deputies shall not be
permitted to exercise the powers of
deputy sheriffs, and has ordered the
arrest of any one not appointed by him
who is found wearing a deputy's badge
and carrying concealed weapons.
The law says the deputy game war
dens are possessed of the powers of
deputy sheriffs only when in posses
sions of warrants legally issued, in
connection with violations OF the state
game laws. The sheriff says that if
a thousand guns We're furnished he
would have a thousand men ready to
carry them and preserve the peace
District Attorney Steele, late this at
ternoon, filed an Information in the
district court for writs of quo warranto
against Martin and Orr, requiring

holding their offices as police commits
sioners.
The information simply Tecites the
removal of Orr and Martin and the
appointment of Mullins and Barnes
and asks the court "a exclude Orr anC
Martin from the offices in question.
The object of the district attorney
who is a Republican, is to leave the
governor without any excuse for agair
calling out the troops in case the SUI
preme court does not give satisfac
tory answer 10 his question to deter
mine who are entitled to seats in th'
poard.
Waite Seeks Arrest.
Although Governor Waite filed az
affidavit in the district court toda!
that he was responsible for the act
which caused the arrest of Mayor Val
Horn and Nessrs Rogers Mullins ant
Barnes for contempt of court, no eff
fort was made to have him arrested
It was brought out by the governor

tin. Tomorrow the prosecution wi

defendants for contempt, on their ow
admission that they violated the il
junction issued by the court.

NEW CHINESE TREATY.
Renders the Geary Law Nugatory,
and viii Be Fought.

Washington. March 21.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations has
been considering an important Chi
nese treaty negotiated by the new
Chinese minister and Secretary Gresh-
am.
The treaty was sent to the Senate
some time ago and referred to the
foreign relations committee, where it
has been fully considered and dis
cussed in all its details. 1t is said il
does not meet the approval of some of
she senators who are members of the
Eommittee It is understood this OBJ
Cosition, while considerable, has not
seen sufficient to prevent its being re-
Norted favora,bly, though possibly with
scme amendments. AS negotiated. the
treaty practically sets aside and super.
sedes the Scott exclusion act, and the
recently enacted Geary lsw. It is an
Immigration treaty and provides fol
the admfttance of Chinese immigrants
under restrictions. 1t also has for Its
object the protection of Chinese al
ready in this country. While it does
not repeal the Geary law, il is said t.
render il nugatory in many particut
lars The treaty, although it may re-
Cetve the favorable consideration of z
majority of the Senate committee OF
foreign relations, will have d stormy
time in the Senate.
The Pacific coast and western sen
ators are already vigorously fghtins
81, and they have support from east
ern senators who have always opposed
Chinese immigration and supported
the vigoE rus exclusion laws.
The new treaty, it is understood
runs for twenty years, and in this re
spect is like a similar treaty by Sec
rotary Bsyard in 1885, and if at tn
expiration Of the twenty years neithe
government shall give notice to TIL
other of it's intention 20 have it ter
minated, then it shall remain in fore
another twenty years.
During the period of the life of tn
treaty, Chinese are prohibited from en-
tering this country except upon condi
tons Pro ian is made for the re
turn of any Chinam@1 who has law

states, or property to the amount c
