ST. I.ouIs' EXpericncc.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE storm which
began yesterday ended today at noon after
having run a varied course, including rain,
sleet, drizzle and snow, each repeated two
or three times during the night. At
present there lies on the ground here about
four inches of ice, snow and slush, which
has practically interrupted all traffic. Tele-
graph, telephone and electric wires are
down, and. as a result, death of animals
from the live currents have been reported
numerously, but so far no human beings
have been injured.
Reports received here from points in
southern Illinois, southern and central
Indiana, Missouri in general and Arkansas
give the same story, the heaviest storm
of the season with wind and in a majority
of cases drifted badly. Fort Smith, Ark.

roads suffering thereby. From Olathe, Kan,
comes news of the death by exposure of A..

are very seriously delayed, some being four
or five hours and even more late. The
promise now Is Of a very sharp drop in
temperature, which will turn the present
slush to ice and make the situation even
worse than II Is now. Indeed, the situation
locally, as we'll as throughout all the
territory within reach OF this city, is
summed up in the words-traiiic at a stand
still.
Geographically the situation is the worst
in a long time. No wires are working south

STEVENS AGAIN ARRAICNED
Senator Gray Attacks His Actions While
Minister to Hawaii.
CLEvELAND'S COURSE is COMMENDED
Delawarc's Senator Reviews the History OF
the Islands Since the Revolution
Numerous Petitions Presented
Work In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The Hawaiian
controversy occupied the principal time of
the senate today, Senator Gray of Delaware
opening his argument in defense of the policy
OF President Cleveland. His speech was de-
voted principally to an attempt to prove the
completely of Minister Stevens with the
revolutionists. He did not conclude his
speech and will resume his argument to-
morrow.
An interesting incident of the session was
the presentation by Senator Cullom of a
petition signed by 3O,OO0 wool growers of
the west protesting against the wool schedule
in the new tariff bill.
Petitions against free iron and free lumber
were presented by Senator Faulkner and
similar petitions protesting against the VIII
son bill as a whole were presented by Sena-
tors Cockrell and Gallinger.
Senator Pettigrew presented a resolution
directing the secretary Of agriculture to re-
port to the senate the amount Of wheat in
the country March 80 last, the total yield
and the amount now in the country.
Senator Gray of Delaware again took the
floor on the Hawaiian resolution reported
by the committee on foreign relations. He
spoke in opposition to annexation.
Senator Gray said: THE evidence all
goes to show that the annexation move
ment itself was confined to that compar-
allfely Sllidll Julid VI dDle, lnIellSCHI anu
vicious men who, with the aid of the Amer
lean minister accomplished las far as they
could the object which they had in view.
This junta composed an oligarchy of wealth
and intelligence-an oligarchy as foreign
to a republican form of government as the
most opposite things in the world can be
opposed to each other. Minister Stevens
was in their confidence, and he had been
for months corresponding with his govern
ment urging annexation
Mr.. Gray said he thought Stevens was the
the most indiscreet man that ever occupied
such an important position at so great a
crisis in a foreign country.
Senator Cockrell presented a memorial
Of the st. Louis Merchants exchange. declar.
ing that the present stagnation of the coun'
try is due to the uncertainty of congress
sional action on the tariff, and praying that
the matter be settled as speedily as pos.
sible. II am glad to see by this memorial
said he, that the petitioners recognize the
blunder they made when they attributed all
of the distress of the country last summer
to the Sherman law"
A substitute for the Wilson tariff bill was
presented by Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire. 1t declares that in view of the
widespread industrial depression existing in
our land it is unwise to make any change in
the tariff laws during the present admins

Pending Senator Gray's argument the
senate, at 4:05, on motion Of M. George, went

GUTHRIE, Okl, Feb. 12.-Reports coming
from the strip tell Of great suffering among
the homesteaders residing in tents. Several
persons, It Is reported, have persisted In the
storm, among them two families residing
near Cross. No particulars can be obtained.
Hundreds of head of stock were frozen to
death.
Wire communication was opened up to-
night to some extent and the following cas-
ualties learned:

a form Of schedule Of rates and charges pre-
pared by him. This form. II was thought, In
a measure at least, would obviate the dim
culties now encountered under the present
system. and was intended largely as a basis
of discussion. The form presented by MIR.
Mackln was for a tariff on the Wabash rail-
road from East st. Louis to a number of
points east. There was q general discussion
of its provisions, the railroad representa-
tives pointing out their views on the form
suggested, and the impracticabllity Of pub
fishing a tariff from every station on their
lines to every station in the country to which
they might ship freight. They also expressed
their willingness to meet the commission half
way I'm its efforts to improve the existing
condition of affairs.
The railroad men suggested several forms
Of schedules and after considerable discus
sion the representatives Of the freight bust
ness of the roads represented withdrew to
the auditors office and with the latter
official went over the forms proposed, with
a view of agreeing on a plan for a schedule
that will be presented to the commission
tomorrow. The commission then discussed
the same general question with officials Of
the passenger departments, who seemed
much less inclined to any form of schedules
that would give the rates Of any road par
ticipating in a through rate, than the freight
men were. and pointed out at some length
the objections to such a practice. II was
argued that the publication OF the local pas
senger tariff would not be of any benefit to
the public, would not make complaints of
violations of the law any less frequent and
il was asserted that the passenger agent
who cut rates would wriggle out of the
trouble all the same and sell cheaper tickets,
besides it would be a heavy expense. The
tariffs as published now and filed with the
commission were a sufficient compliance
with all the requirements of the law.
Mr.. p. S. Eustis of the Chicago. Burl-
ington G. Quincy and others made state
ments in support of the position taken by
the Messenger men.

VIII Snrrender Control.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Rcpresentative
McMillin, chairman of the ways and means
subcommittee, to which the Hatch anti
option bill was referred, says he will not ask
the subcommittee to consider the bill until
Mr.. Hatch has had an opportunity to ask
the house to take the bill from the ways and
means committee and refer 1t to the com
mittee on agriculture. Mr.. McMillin says
there is no desire on the part of himself
or his associates to hold on to the anti-op-
ton bill. and they would be glad to have Mr..
Hatch's committee take charge of it. This
disposes of the report that there will be an
animated contest for control of the bill, as
Mr.. McMillin is ready and anxious to sur
render control. This assures an early and
favorable report, as the significant point of
contention between The two committees was
that the agricultural committee would speed
lily report in favor of restricting options,
while the ways and means committees ac-
tion was uncertain and likely in any event
to be reached only after considerable time.
