LEFT IN ITS TRACK.
Thousands of Cattle Perish i'm
the Blizzard.
The Mississippi Valley Is Just Now
the Scene of the Storm
Kings Frolics.

BUFFALO, Wyo,, March 25.-Last week.
blizzard, continuing seventy hours, has
never been approached in severity by any
other storm in this locality. Traffic is en-
tirely suspended and communication by
wire with the outside world has only just
been restored. Snow is drifted from ten
to twenty feet deep In every direction.
The mailcoach took five DAYS in making
one trip from Clearmont. thirty miles.
The loss of stock is terrible. In one
herd pear Buffalo. con tanning stock which
had been fed all winter, over 20 per cent
perished. The loss of range stock will
likely be one-half. which will leave scarcely
any stock in the country this spring. The
tremendous snowfall insures wonderful
grazing next season. and thousands of head
of stock will be driven into the country.
DENVER, March 25.-The sun shone out
brightly to-day and melted most of the
snow that fell yesterday, but tonight it is
showing again and the wind is blowing
furiously. However, 1t is not very cold
and the snow is not likely to interfere with
railroad traffic.
ST. PAUL. March 25.-By o'clock to-
morrow morning the cold wave which has
prevailed for the last four days will have
attained its crest and the temperature will
have reached the vicinity of degrees
below zero. This morning about sunrise
the temperature was .0S below Zelo, which
was the lowest for the month.
ST. LOUIS, March 25.-The freezing
weather that now prevails throughout this
section of the Southwest is Unprecedented
for the month Of March and is causing
CONSERVATION among fruit and vegetable
growers, who will be heavy losers there
from. Early vegetables were we'll ad-
vanced. and fruit trees in many places had
put forth buds as result of the recenl
warm spell, but now the prospects for
good crop have fallen fat.
In some places in Illinois, Missouri and
Southern Iowa the temperature has fallen
10 degrees below freezing and slight fall
of snow is reported at one place in the first
named State. 1t is still growing colder.
Ice formed in this city to-day and as far
south as San Angelo, Tex, it was a quar-
ter of an inch thick. The cold snap caught
the fruit orchards in full blossom and will
no doubt cut the crop short.
MoAwEQUA, H., March 25.-During the
past twenty hours the thermometer has
fallen 80 degrees. Al peaches and cher
ries in this section of Central Illinois are
killed. Budding fruits and early gardens
are seriously damaged 1t is freezing to-
night

lie wes quite weary after his long jour-
ney and evidently desired quiet and rest,
though in appe arance he is looking quite
well. and the few friends whom he did
meet were greeted cordially.
In relation to public affairs the Senator
did not care 10 be interviewed. On uues.
tions of Federal patronage he was retican.
also. but he gave encouragement to several
prominent persons who are seeking an.
pOintments under the Govern Dment.
so far as the Wilson tariff bill is con-
cerned the Senator expressed qualification
that California brandies. prunes and other
valuable products were protected by the
measure, though he did not emphasiZe the
TACT that be was one of the main instru-
ments in accomplishing this desirable end.
When the subject Of his stand against
Peckham. Cleveland's nominee for the
Supreme Court bench after the defeat of
Hornblower. was broached, the Senator
SIMPLY smiled, and remarked that all he
had to say upon the subject was said be-
lore the Senate at the proper time, and
there was nothing left TO be said now,
The mission OF the distinguished gentle
man to his home is one OF pleasure and
business combined. and be expects to re-.
main here TOR some time to come, as far as

CLEVELAND WILL ACT.
Considerable Doubt as to Whether
lie Will Sign or Veto the Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Tbe letters
and kilograms which for the past week
have been pouring in On the Preside in
regard to his action on the seigniorage hill
con tinue to fill the White House mailbaes.
If anything. In increasing amount. As has
been the case since the first, these com
munications are appeals to the Prssident
TO exercise the veto power. 1t Is stated. In
fact. there are ten requests for veto to
one asking the President to sign the bill.
The seianiorage bill was taken to Mr.
Thurber late Monday evening, March I9,
Mr.. Thurber receipted for it under that
date. and in the evening told the President
Of its arrival. Tuesday morning Mr..
Thurber took the bill to the White House,
The ten days at the expiration OF which
the bill would become law should the
President take no action begins from the
date Of the receipt given by the Presidents
private secretary. Sunday, however, is
not counted in making up the ten days.
The President may, therefore. hold the
bill until Friday. March 80. and on that
day return 1t to the House with bis veto
or signature, as the case may be. The
indications are, however, there will be no
occasion to count the exact number of
hours or even days. as the President will
n OF low the ten days to pass and the bill
to become law without executive action.

A STREET MURDER
James Gilday, a Plumber,
the Victim.
He Was Struck by Young Man on
Market Street and Fell, Dying
Almost Instantly.

James Gilday. a plumber, who lived at
126 Germania street, was killed on Market
street, between Powell and Mason, shortly
after l o'clock this morning. He was
taken to the Receiving Hospital in the
patrol-wagop, but when it reached there
Dr.. Simpson pronounced him dead.
Sydney Cowiin, Grove street, and Fred
Speck. 677h Mission street were eye
witnesses of the affair. They tell the
same story.
II was walking east on Market street. /"
said Cowlin, "behind young man who
was accompanied by two young ladies.
just opposite the Wonder millinery
store a man going west spoke to one of the
ladies, and heard the young man remark,
wait minute and I'll fix him. He went
to the other man and struck him blow in
the breast and another in the face.
"The man staggered and fell in the door
way leading into a mlllinery-store. Then
the young man joined the ladies and
walked on with them. 1 would know the
young man again If saw him."
Detectives Ed Gibson and Anthony were
standing at the patrol-box. near Eddy
street. when they noticed the young man
and the two ladies pass them.
At the corner of Powell the young man
was accosted by u companion, and he
whispered 10 him, Come on with me-
He left his lady friends and ran with his
male friend north on Powell street.
Gibson says he go good look at him,
and describes him as young man about )
feet or 7-inches in height light mustache.
and he wore light overcoat. light pants
and black Derby hat.
Gibson obtained other information to
the effect that the young man and his two
female companions came out either of the
Thalia saloon. on Market street, near the
corner of Mason, or the Rosalie saloon. on
Mason street. near Eddy, probably the
latter.
Anthony went to the Rosalie saloon 10
watch there and find all the particulars he
could, while Gibson and the two eye-wit.
nesses of the affair went in search of the
Young man elsewhere. His arrest Is con.
sidered certain.
1t IS thought possible that Gilday when
he fell in the doc rway had struck on his
head and fractured his skull. causing al
most instant death.

BILLS OF MEMBERS UNPAID,
Attempt to Kill Contractor in
a Theater.
A MOB SURROUNDS THE BUILDING
Sergeant Spillane and Posse Clear
the Streets-The Would-be
Assassin Escapes.

There was scene of wild excitement in
the Chinese tbeater on Jackson street last
night. A fshpacker, whose wages had
not been paid by his employer. attempted
to shoot man who is supposed TO be his
boss" The theater was packed to the
doors at the time, owing to the appearance
| OF troupe of white acrobats. who invaria-
| bly, prove to be a drawing-caTd in a
| Chinese play yhouse.
| The trouble began in Alaska. where
| several members Of the Bow Sin Scar
Society were employed in cannery. The
two men engaged in an alteration in the
theater, and exhausting their vocabulaTies
of abuse took to their fists, but found little
satisfaction in the conflict as they had not
nerve enough 10 fight and the spectators
who wanted TO see nothing but the mar
velous man on the trapeZe, thrust them
back and forth without ceremony. The
house was in an uproar, aud great crowd
OF MoDgolians gathered in the streets out
side and blocked the narrow and precipit.
Gus stairway leading 10 the auditorium.
Sergeant Spillane and his posse soon
appeared upon the scene, and with clubs
that fell right and left cleared the side
walks and the passage. As they entered
the theater the laborer drew a revolver
and tried TO shoot his opponent, but the
weapon missed fire and the would be mur-
dcrer, whose friends saw the police ad-
vancing. was quickly hustled out of sight
Sergeant Spliane searched the Rud!to-
rum, but could not find the man. and
upon making inquiries for him received a
mo sabe' on every side.
The conflict in the theater is supposed to
have been caused by the Bow Sin Scar
tong, of which the man with the pistol is
said to be a mem ber. Many members of
he tong were emDlOyed in an Alaska
cannery last seasnn. but when they re-
turned to this city they were unable t0 OBJ
tain their wages. Many meetings of the
tong were held. at which the debtors
were denounced with great vehsmence.
Request after request was sent to them,
but no satisfactory answer wss returned.
Last week the Bow Sin Sears notified the
contractor and other debtors TO them that
II their money was not quickly forthcom-
ing blood would flow.
The Chinese Consul heard of this ulti-
matum and notified Detectives Cox and
Glennon, who prepared to take hand in
the fight, but for some reason the date of
ths conflict was postponed.
The affair in the theater last night leads
those who ars familiar with the ways of
the Chinese to prophesy q battle In the
near future.
The acrobats whose performance was
interrupted had lively time until they
left the stage.
The trapeze man. unaware of the fact
that Chinese actors play all night, retired
but the spectators wanted 1hefr moneys
worth and peremptorily called and re-
called the zperspiring gymnast back to his
torture. Finally he withdrew, and the
angry spectators yelled "Chuck shee' Zoo
