ICE COATS THE WEST.
The Telegraph Service Out of Chicago
Badly Interrupted.

Chicago, Nov. $3.50 far as telegraphic
facilities are concerned. Chicago has been
cut off practically from communication
with the outside world since Il o'clock
last night. About 10 o'clock a soft, driz-
zling rain began to fall. Almost at the
same time the weather turned cold. and
within a few minutes not only the side
walks. but the streets themselves were a
glaze Of smooth slippery and treacherous
ice This morning very few wires out Of
this city were working, and these were in
such a bad condition as to render the
transmission of kilograms very slow and
uncertain The weather continued damp
and cold, and the trouble became worse
instead of improving. At noon the tele-
graph officials reported a similar discour-
aging state of affairs throughout the west
and northwest The frozen fog, or rain,
has demolished the wires in every direc-
ton, and several days will be necessary to
clear up the wreck Clear and cold wea-
ther is promised for tomorrow.

oHINA's WAR no END SOON.
The Terms Of Peace Very Nearly Com

London, Nov. SO.-The Shanghai corre-
spondent Of the Central News sends this
dlspatch: "The British warship Porpoise
has returned from Port Arthur. where
she arrived on Nov. 20. The Japanese
forbade the captain to take his vessel
into the harbor. The officers OF the Por-
poise relate the story. already known Of
the attack upon the Chinese position. At
daylight on Nov. q the forts began firing
on the ii Japanese warships and II tor
pedo boats off tine coast. None Of the
vessels were hit, although the cruiser
Chiyoda had a narrow escape at six
mile range. In the afternoon the tor
pedo feet dispersed, and the boats
steamed shoreward In pairs to attack the
forts The quick fire guns were kept in
operation for thirty minutes. 1T the end
OF that fire the forts were silenced, as
from the first they had been unable to get
the range.
THE officers of the Porpoise landed on
Nov. %. after the capture of the town
They estimate the Japanese loss at 600

caused by the guns, as there was no close

Shanghai, Nov. SO.-The successive de-
feats sustained by the Chinese armies and

in China TO the influence Of the German

aim is f-aggrandizement

New York, Nov. 30-A special cable
to the Herald from Shanghai says England
is evidently preparing a coup de main
with a view of protecting her interests in
China. There can be no doubt that she
resents the manner in which she is being
excluded in the discussion Of the possible
terms of settlement between the two be-
lgerents, and has arranged for a naval
demonstration OF Chusan, Dec. !. The
Alacrity, Pigmy and Redpole have left
here with sealed orders. They go to join
Vice Admiral Fremantle's flagship Cen>
turion and the other war vessels under his
command. This, it is thought. Is being
done as a measure Of precaution lest the
japanese should carry the war into
Southern China, now that winter is
arriving, and the northern approaches
to the empire become ice-bound and diff

NEGROES BURNED TO DEATH.
An Attempt to Burn Out of a Guard
House Costs Them Their Lives.

An Attempt to Burn Out of a Guard
House Costs Them Their Lives.
Charlotte, ~ c., Nov. 30--Three negroes
were burned to death in the guard house
at Polkton, n. c., shortly after midnight
yesterday morning. Henry Butler and
oscar Thompson stole a cow and took il
90 Monroe. They were arrested on sus-
picion and brought to Polkton for ex-
animation. The two were placed in the
boro later. Another negro. Hamp May,
accused Of stealing shoes, was also in the
guard house.
About ! o'clock many citizens were
aroused from their slumbers by heart
rending and exciting screams and knock
ings from the guard house. Men hastened
10 the place Smoke and flame burst from
the interior The groans and screams
hushed. Nothing could be done, though
axes were used as long as the flames per-
mitted. The building was small but very
strong and burned, being all wood, very
rapidly.
After the house had burned down the
charred, burned and blackened remains
were taken from the embers Evidently
the negroes tried TO burn their way out
and losing control of the fire brought upon
themselves their own destruction, and
nothing was left but the CHASTITY remains
to tell the tale.
In the early morning the mother of one
of the negroes came to town to bring
breakfast to her boy. She had not heard
of his horrible fate. She passed on down
the street, carrying the breakfast to the
burnt bones of her son. The sight was in
expressibly sad and many tears fell from
the eyes which followed her.

UNCLE sAM's GOLD REsERvE.
It Is Expected to Reach Sis, ,ooo,o 900
When ALI Is Paid In.

Washington, Nov. 3O-The treasury gold
reserve is intact again. standing to-day
as a result of the recent bond issue above
s103 0O0, 900, and when all the gold Us
paid in it will reach about S115,0oO.OO0. The
treasury's condition too is improving. the
monthly statement to be issued tomorrow
showing, as il will an increase Of $500, 900
in the receipts for November over Octo-
ber, and a decrease of S5,000.00O in ex-
penses, making the total excess of eX-
penditures over receipts for the fiscal
year to Dec. 1 S2S,000,000 or at the rate Of
S4,600000 a month.
The excess Of the expenditures over
the receipts for the month of October
was 100000, while for November the ex-
cess win be about SS,000.000
The excess of expenditures over the re-
ceipts for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1894, was about $40 0O0000, of nearly S.
000 900 a month.
1t is believed that Secretary Carlisle,
now that the gold reserve has passed the
reserve mark of $10o0O0.000 win resume the
issue of gold certificates for such addi-
tional gold as may be subsequently de-
posted when such cirtihcates are de-
sired 1t is conceded that the law bearing
on the subject is mandatory in its pro-
visions, as il authorizes and directs" the
secretary to issue gold certificates for
SOlu deposited IN sums OF so and over No
question exists that the law is mandatory
in prohibiting the issue Of gold certificates
after the gold reserve falls below the
500 100000 point, and in April, 1898 when
the gold reserve was first invaded an or
der was issued to that effect In Febru-
airy last, when the gold reserve was
increased by tho first bond issue to
Sl05,000,00O, no gold certificates were is
sued, because so far as known no de-
mand was made for them, and the reserve
stood at over $1,000 900 only for few
weeks. When all the gold for the last
issue of bonds is paid in the reserve will
reach nearly Sis, 100000, and it is thought
will continue above the S100. 600 600 limit
for some time to come, consequently there
will be no danger in resuming the issue
of gold certificates for new gold depos-
tied"
New York, Nov. S0.-The Stewart bond
syndicate deposited $3,S59O2S gold in the
subtreasury on the bond account to-day,
making a total of 1516 of gold de-
posted since the new government loan
was awarded to the syndicate. The agents
of the syndicate have sold between $l3,-
100000 and $l400O,00O Of the bonds and
the demand stiu continues heavy.

NO GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.
What Bradstreet's Has to Say of the
Commercial Situation.

New York. Nov. 30.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row win say: There is no general or
radical Improvement in business at the
south. the southwest or north but in the
central western states and particularly at
some important cities in the old middle
and New England states, the reverse is
true, material gain In demand for many
seasonable staples having shown ITSELF
with a corresponding increase in the vol
ume Of goods distributed or or
dars for future delivery. This is
independent of the stimulus to
trade In certain lines due to the
approaching holidays and in spite of the
check to the volume OF general business
within the week caused by the Thanksgiv-
ing holiday.
"A sharp revival in prices is shown by
the quotations for some grades of lumber,
but more particularly for cotton, wheat,
oats and lard, improving prices of the
first two of which have had an influence
for good.
New England wooden mills are gener-
ally well supplied with spring orders. At
Philadelphia some worsted spinners have
had TO refuse orders for immediate de-
livery, and textile manufacturers report
good orders for delivery after Jan. l.
AT the south Augusta and Jacksonville
alone announce any Improvement. Mer-
camille collections are generally fair for
the season, except in some Of the heavier
cotton growing regions, being specially
classed as unsatisfactory at Savannah,
Birmingham and Galveston. There is a
moderate activity in groceries at Nash
vile. Galveston says trade is duh and
unsatisfactory. At Charleston, Chatta-
nooga, Memphis and Atlanta it is quiet
or without feature
From Cincinnati, Louisville, Detroit
and Chicago moderately encouraging re-
ports as TO the volume Of trade are re-
ceived. Similar advices are sent out from
ST. Louis. but there is only moderate busi-
ness at Kansas City and Omaha, country
