GEORGE wILLARD's DEATH.
Passing OF One of Omaha's Pioneer Printers
and Ardent Union Men.

and Ardent Union Men.
Death ended George Wizards unselfsh
life yesterday morning. He passed away at
the end of twenty-four hours of unconscious
suffering. the spark of life having burned
itself out in the pain-racked body.
For more than twenty years George Will
lard had walked and worked among the
laborlng men in Omaha. till he had become
endeared to them, especially his fellow crafts
men in the printing Offices, to an extent that
very few Of them realized until they heard
OF his death. An ardent champion of the
cause of unionism, firm in his beliefs and
frank in their utterances, with the
courage of his convictions. he
was never carried to those extremes
that so often destroy the usefulness of less
well contained leaders. Conservative at all
times, he never let his fear Of conflict
trench on his conception of right, nor his
possession Of power lead him into injudicious
exhibitions Of force. His careful seeking
Of the middle course, along which the safety
OF all interests lay, gave him the confidence
OF both employer and employed.
In his personal contact with men George
Willard was most admirable. His consider
ate intercourse with his fellow printers was
an index TO his whole life. He was a de-
voted husband and father, his watchful
solicitudc for his family never relaxing. His

Michigan and the air is full of cold. penetrat-

manage to make slow progress, but If the
storm continues there will probably be an
embargo of travel tonight.
Advices from the interior of the state are
to the effect that the storm is raging every
where and that the railway travel is consid-
erably impeded. .
The local weather forecaster predicts a
severe and protracted cold spell as a result
of the blizzard. In Wisconsin a drop of
from twenty to thirty degrees is expected.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no acct
dents had been reported as a result of the
storm.
Swirling clouds Of snow, in which there
has been one or two riffs since daylight
this morning, have shut from view the

CLEVELAND, Feb. 1.-THE blizzard
which ragged with such severity through the
west last night, reached this city at Z O'Clock
this morning. A fierce gale accompanied by
a heavy fall of fine, cutting snow is in prog
ress, and the storm promises to be a most
severe one.
At noon the street car service was demor'
allied, only an occasional car managing to
get through the heavy snow drifts. On the
Lake Shore roads trains were reported as
more or less delayed from the west a pros
pect of serious blockades before nightfall.
FORT WAYNE, Feb. ia genuine bliz-
zard with all its v~arities broke loose here
at 10 o'clock last night. and still RACES with

suspended, all railways leading into the city
are generally interrupted, and pedestrianism
can only be accomplished with the greatest
difficulty. Thewind is blowing a gale and the
mercury is falling rapidly.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. ia severe sleet
storm prevailed here this morning. Wires
are covered with ice. giving telephone people
considerable trouble and causing street cars
to move slowly. Business is delayed accord
ingly.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. ia sleet and
wind storm of unusual severity struck the
city shortly after midnight and has con-
tinued without cessation up to a late hour
this afternoon. Several inches of snow covers
the ground and is still falling at a very
heavy rate. Paralyzed traffic has resulted
and the street cars are running only at
irregular intervals. Incoming trains are
badly delayed and trainmen report stormy
times along the various routes.
FINDLAY, o. Feb 12.-The most violent
snow storm known here in years began at
6 O'Clock this morning and has continued all
day. Fierce winds drifted the snow so
badly that 1t will be two or three days be-
fore street car traffic can be resumed. Rail-
road travel is practically suspended.

Admiral da Cana further attempted to
check the advance Of the troops by calling
for achievements Of 100 men from the
island OF Conceicao and by sending launches
from the cruiser Libertad close to the shore
Of the main land.
These efforts stopped the advance and
caused heavy losses to the government
troops. Then their ammunition fell short.
their fire slackened and the government
troops slowly gained ground. After three
hours fighting the troops were within half

decided to withdraw his sailors, hiding it

of the overwhelming number of the enemy,
The Libertad's armed launches continued to
hold the troops at bay while the insurgents
embarked at Armacao, the Aquidaban cover

The Libertads' launches were close to
Ponta da Arela and received the brunt of
the enemys' fire. It was IL o'clock before

government is supposed to have fifteen Off

Admiral da Cana has bullet wounds in his
neck and arm, but they are not dangerous.

Policy of Union Pacific Passenger Depart

THE Union Pacific passenger department

II. Wild, chief rate clerk of the Great North
ern, who is in Omaha 10 assist in correcting
the Montana rate sheet. MIR. Lomax has
not cut any of the transcontinental rates, as
alleged by the newspapers, but has simply
put into effect rates agreed upon by the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Cana
dian Pacific. The Montana rate Of S25 has
been in effect on the Great Northern for
nearly four years, which the Union Pacific is
well informed of. The wonder of it all is
that the Union Pecifc should have put In
this eastbound rate to Missouri river COM
mon points after all these years. While the
situation is rather mixed in transcontlnental
affairs, l believe rates will remain about as
they are now"
President Hill of the Great Northern is
represented to have said that the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific, Canadian Pa
cihc and Union Pacific had reached an agree
ment as to the handling of transcontinental
business. Is Mr.. Hill right in this state
ment?' asked the reporter.
THE agreement was drawn with the I'M
derstandnig that the Union Pacific would be
a party TO it, but when the time came for
signing the Union Pacific dropped out and
has pursued a waiting policy ever since.
While Mr.. Lomax, as the representative of
the passenger department OF the Union Pa
cilc. has been roasted by the newspapers of
the west, our st. Paul papers having been
aggressive against him, he shas not de-
served the criticism. for the rates now in
effect have been made by northern lines.
Although the Great Northern is a COM
petitor of the Union Pacific, it is generally
recognized that the Union Pacific has been
in a most peculiar position, and Mr.. Lomax
is to be c~ompllmented on the conservative
course he has taken"
