Played Havoc with wires.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 25.-The sleet storm that
prevailed to-day during the early hours
later turned into snow, which fell for sew
eral hours, and this was followed by a
southwest wind and a fall of Is degrees or
more in temperature, which played havoc
with electric wires of all descriptions
throughout the city and suburbs. Wires
and poles heavily laden with thick coat
ing of ice and snow snapped off and fell
to the ground. Within a radius of fifty
miles from ST. Louis the Western Union
Company lost 125 wires The wires to Chi
cago and Kansas City are still in working
condition, while communication is also had
with Dallas, Tex. Matters improving,
however, and it is expected that enough
breaks will be repaired to enable the ac-
cumalated business to be cleared by morn
ing The wires of the Postal company
are in equally bad shape and very little
business is being done. Telephone poles
all over the city are down, and many
wires are useless in consequence. This
state of affairs is especially true in the
southwestern section of the city, which has
no Geographic communication whatever
On Eastern avenue fifteen poles fell within
a few blocks, cutting off all communication
with that part of the city and blocking
the Franklin-avenue electric car line. Thus
far the street-car traffic has not been in
terrupted to any great extent.

Mexico's War Ships.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-Mexco, it
is reported, has decided to land troops at
San Jose de Guatemala. This would be very
difficult proceeding unless Mexico strength
ened her navy, for San Jose is approachable
only in barges, and a landing could only
be effected at the long pier that is built
out into the ocean. The surf breaks too
heavy on the beach to permit the land
ing of troops in boats. Mexico has five
ships on the Pacific coast at her command.
The first is the Democrate. $50 tons dis
six-and- half inch rified guns of old pat
tern. The Mexico and Independence are
small craft, of limited fighting qualities.
The La Libertad carries six-and-a-half-
inch gum and is the oldest boat in the
fleet. The Zaragosa is modern fighter.
She is used as trading ship, and is of
more value, from a fighting standpoint,
than all the other vessels in the Mexican
navy put together Guatemala bought a
man-of-war vessel several years ago. 1t
is small schooner, not much larger than
a pilot boat. One Misunderstanding gun stands
on this formidable crafts bow. San Jose

Krupp cannon that might make 1T warm

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-While the State
Departn mt officials positively refuse to dis
cuss the matter, there is ground for the be-
lief that it is exerting les good offices to
settle the dispute between Mexico and
Guatemala over the boundary, without re-
course to war. Senior Romero, the Mexican
minister, has been almost daily In consul
tation with Secretary Gresham, and while
he declines to tell what his purpose Is, 1t
is significant that he steadily maintains
that the trouble will be adjusted without
harsh measures. Minister Arriaga, of Qua
temala, is also hopeful or a peaceable adj
justment of the dispute He said. to-day
that he had not heard from his government
within the past three days and had no in
formation as to the course of events in
Guatemala, further than was collected in
the press dispatches. He was in consulta-
ton. this morning, with Senior Mendonca
the Brazilian minister, toucnlng the situa-
ton. 1t is asserted here that the Guatema-
Ian government has all along been ready
to submit the issue between Mexico and
Guatemala to arbitration, and 1t Is believed
that in case the Mexican government should

little nearer, knowing what they have
what they can do, and what the solid
facts are about American sheep hushan-
dry than is known to the average man.

Vermont breeders never allow them
