BUFFALO, Feb. 13-Buffslo is practically without a water supply. The mighty northeast wind which is blowing forces the water In Niagara river below the intakes at the pumping station, and there is but little water in the Dodge street reservoir. In hotels and private houses no water can be obtained above the first story, and but little there.
 The water has been blown completely out of the Hamburg canal, and there is but a foot or SO left in the Erie canal. Slush and ice are filling the engine wells at the pumping station, and if the wind does not abate the gravest consequences are feared This is the first time in 20 years that the tops of the intakes at the pumping station have been above water. Should big fire occur the flremen would be powerless. The streets are badly drifted. Street car traffic is impeded somewhat. Trains from both east and west are late. No casualties have been reported. Dis patches from Lockport and Attica show the same condition there.

storm Which Started on the Pscino
 Coast Travelled Across the Continent
 High Winds and Deep Snow Do Much
 Damage In Many States.
 GUTHRIE, O. T., Feb. RIA terrible bliz-
 rsrd struck this territory early Sunday
 morning and continues with terrible sever
 lty. The wind blows a perfect gale, and
 tnow is two feet deep on the ground. Re
 ports of death and suffering come in from
 all parts of the territory. In the strip
 recently opened the people are in preca-
 rious condition. At Red Rock, James
 Blount and family, consisting of wife
 and two children, both girls, aged 10 and
 l2 years, were almost frozen to death. Mrs.
 Fannie Spencer, a homesteader, IF miles
 from Cross, was found frozen stiff. All
 her fuel had burned out. Many people are
 still living In tents, and as fuel is scarce
 heir condition Is awful. James Mullig an,
 living four miles south of Perry, was found frozen to death, and his partner, Harvey Newcomb, died from exposure and cold l5 minutes after being found. At Ponca, Mrs. Jennie Cramet aud two children, Lizzie and Sallie, were discovered frozen stiff in coyote's burrow, 10 yards from their abode.
 Colonel Henry Melton, a cowboy, who was with Buffalo Bill at the Worlds fair, was discovered dead under his horse by a party of hunters near Newkirk. Whole Families Frozen to Death. At Anadarka two Indian pupils were found buried under a snowbank. Upon be ing taken to house one of the children immediately expired. The other, however, shows signs of recovery.
 A report reached here that a family nam ed Sears, residing on a claim near Wood ward, was found frozen to death, but no particulars can be obtained. Over 100 head of horses and cattle were | frozen, and volunteer relief committees are now securing the country gathering together the people and caring for them in the schoolhouses.
 Miss Jennie Johnston, a young Indian teacher who came to Alva recently from Scranton, Pa, left her school Saturday night for her boarding house. She has not been seen since. No reports have been re- ceived from other west side towns, but it is certan the suffering is great, as the west
 side people are living mostly in tents. All trains are delayed. Word comes from Cross that Sherman Stoue and family, con sisting of wife and five children. were | found sitting about a stove, with their | throats cut from ear to ear. The following note found on table gives | horrible story of murder and suicide in connection with the storm. It was signed | by a man named Stone:
 Wood all gone: Mollie frozen to death; the ! rest of us freezing. have killed my family and now kill myself to prevent further suffer | ing. God have mercy on us-
 | Stone was homesteader and lived in a tent. It is thought that after the snow | melts hundreds of dead settlers will be | found, along with remains of thousands of | cattle.

BiIxzard,s Antio. In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. l3.-Dispatches from all over northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and Iowa tell the same story of a furious storm and interruption of business. The blizzard seems, however, to be abating all over this section and moving east at a rapid rate The mercury is now falling quite rapidly.
 During the afternoon the storm increased in violence, the wind at times rising to a velocity of 75 miles an hour and the snow growing heavier. It was the worst storm Chicago has ever known, and by o'clock business of all kinds was at a standstill. At that time the big office buildings were practically deserted, people having started for home in order to do their travelling be fore night.
 Trains were delayed during the after noon, and at night most of the eastern roads did not send out trains of any kind The New York limited on the Erie pulled out with two engines, and three hours later it was 12 miles from Chicago, stuck fast, and two additional engines which had been sent after it could do no good. The incom- ing New York limited on the same line stuck in snowbank at Fourteenth street, one mile from the depot, and six engines gave it up as a bad job.
 An exceedingly dangerous spot to pedes- trians was directly behind the Masonic temple, which is p stories high. The wind was drawn down the narrow alley behind it at an awful rate, and whoever attempt ed to cross the alley was blown of the side walk and was very fortunate if he kept his feet. So many people were injured there that special detail of police was made to keep every body off that side of the street.

King Alexander 1. of Servia took a long
step backward when he issued the procla-
nation abolishing the constitution adopted
six years ago and restoring the one of 1862
Under the new constitution the rights of
citizens to many precious privileges were
fully recognized, but the Kings action yes
terday puts an end to the freedom of the
press, abrogates the right to hold public as
semblies. makes the secret ballot illegal and
wipes out local administration of municipal
affairs, while at the same time 1t gives the
King the right to appoint one-third of the
members Of the chamber of deputies who,
under the constitution of 1855. were all
elected by the people. What will come of
this arbitrary proceeding may not now be
even guessed at. but there Is reasonable
certainty Of much rioting and easy posi-
bilities favorable to civil war. 1t should be
remembered that Alexander's title to the
Servian throne is not universally accepted
as perfect Prince Karageorgevitz believes
the throne to be his and he has many sup
porters; he has. it is said, left st. Peters
burg for Roumania: a movement which
may indicate trouble in the immediate
future for the monarch who has so foolishly
endeavored to abbreviate the liberties of
those who are unfortunate enough to be
known as his subjects.

In view Of the fact that nowhere else in
the world today has the negro reached so
high a point of development as in the cap
ital Of this republic, those District colored
men who favor the confirmation of a Kan
sas importation as recorder of deeds accept
very humbly the announcement involved in
the appointment that no District negro is
fit for the office. They lick the hand that
cuffs them. Promises Of subordinate posi-
tons in the recorders Office are much more
numerous than those positions. Any Dis
trict man, whatever his color, who barriers
the Districts pledged rights under the DO
litical platforms for a mess Of official pot
tage for himself cannot complain II he is
cheated out Of the promised pottage He
who crawls at the feet of an alien recorder
In order to eat the crumbs that fall from
the recordership table must not be surprised
II. when the feast arrives, he is kicked con-
temptuously from under the table, instead
OF receiving the promised crumbs.

they cannot have, for although neither
President Cleveland nor Congress has made
plain the intense opposition Of Americans to
American support of dissolute monarchy
there nevertheless exists in this country
immovable antagonism to the Dominis rule;
antagonism which neither the executive nor
legislative branches Of this government can
ignore or combat. 1t would be charity for
the President to notify the misguided sup
porters Of the ex-queen that the policy
which he once desired to put in operation
Is no longer possible and that the United
States-the greatest republic in the world
will not for a moment think seriously of
replacing Upon rotten throne the con-
scienceless representative of all that was
dissolute and undesirable in Hawaiian
affairs.

William Mangle Is a much-abused man.
Full details as to who William is and why
his name Is Mangle are not at hand just
now, but mere incidentals are OF no con-
sequence; they are eclipsed by the thrilling
interest which every one must feel in the
question which William has seen fit to raise,
and to which, up to this time, the authority
appealed to has deigned no reply. Down.
trodden woman has been a favorite text for
lecturers and writer's of hysterical temper
ament, and tons Of good white paper have
been stained by torrents of tears shed by
those who could never read of woman's
wrongs without opening to their fullest ex-
tent those ducts through which the saline
drops flow fast and faster on their way
to trickle adown sympathetically- quivering
cheeks. but only few OF earth's noblest
have dared uplift their voices in behalf of
suffering man. Mr.. Mangle is a sufferer.
He is in Raymond street Jail in New York,
and yesterday he wrote to one of the COM
missioners of charities as follows: would
you kindly inform me If my wife is not
compelled to call on me and do my wash
ing? / have been so informed and have
had none done for me since I have been
confined here" What horrible condition
or affairs Is indicated in these few unim-
passioned wordsi Can any one imagine
woman so cruel, so heartless, SO unmindful
or the comfort Of a loving husband as this
spouse of William Mangle. from Williams
letter, seems to be? 1t may, however, aid
some people in reaching a conclusion as to
the Righteousness or otherwise of Mr..
Mangle's demand If it is stated that Mr..
Mangle's confinement in Raymond street
jail is due to the fact that he deserted wife
and children some time ago, and was i'm
prisoned because of his inability to furnish
bonds for appearance at time of trial.
