IT'S A BLIZZARD
Severe Storm Raging in South

CENTRAL IN THE. BLACK HILLS.
Telegraph c Communication Cut
Off and Railroad Traffic
Impeded.

ALLIANCE. Neb., Dec. 21.-The snow
for which Nebraska farmers have been
praying for month is falling all over
Western Nebraska. The storm pos
sesses all the features of a blizzard,
with the exception that the weather is
very mild. The storm began in the
morning in the Black Hills and contin-
ues with undated fury, as q high wind
prevails. Communication BY telegraph
on both the Burlington and Missouri
River and the Elkhorn lines to the
northwest ends here, wires being rem
dered useless by accumulated snow.
In this manner all information as to
the extent of the storm in the Hills is
of a meagre character, confined to the
trains, which are arriving behind time.
The are experiencing much difficulty IN
getting through the snow. A heavy
snowfall at this time is absolutely the
life of winter wheat in Nebraska and
South Dakota.

An Address Issued by the State Demo-
coratic Association. III
ST. PAUL, Dec. 24.-The executive
committee of the Minnesota Demo
cratic association. has issued an address
to members Of the party in the state
declaring for free trade. In reference
to the defeat Of November the address
says:
Amid the causes of defeat three stand
out prominently, the panic, the failure
to redeem promises solemnly made and
bossism. For the first we are without
fault or responsibility; it was the child
Of Republicanism laid on our doorsteps
and its paternity maliciously charged
on US. That has passed. The other
two causes remain. If Democracy is to
regain its lost station it must address
itself to the task of removing the
causes for which it is responsible. It
must be honestly Democratic, and
being SO will remove both.

the senate the correspondence between
the navy department. and Admiral
Walker relative to his mission to Ha-
wall last summer. The correspondence
makes volume Of considerable size,
covering about 90 type written pages.
and while much Of it is purely formal,
some chapters are OF interest.
It begins on March 90 last, with
the formal order Of the score
tary detaching the admiral from duty
as president Of the inspection board
and ordering him to Honolulu to re.
ieve Admiral Irwin as commandments
chief Of the Pacific station and closes
with q notice from the admiral dated
Mare Island, Cal. Aug. "a, announcing
his REIMBURSEMENT Of that command to
Admiral Beardslee.
The last communication from the
admiral strongly urges that an Ameri.
can ship should be kept at Honolulu,
not so much to keep watch over the
Hawaiians as to keep the English In
check. Without it, in case Of q royal
list uprising, Admiral Walker believes
that English marines would be landed
and that they would assist in restoring
the queen. a .5is
