Eugene V. Debs was the next witness.
He said the General Managers association

employees in one organization. Twelve

about to go to Pullman to see if he could
not prevent a strike, and the strike was

In speaking at the A. r. U. convention

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 7-Blinding snow
and sand storms and n rapidly falling
temperature have combined within the
last twenty-four hours to create the worst
blizzard that has prevailed in the south
west for years The weather began to
grow colder yesterday morning, and each
hour since then has marked a steady de-
cline in the mercury. The local weather
officials predict that the cold wave will
reach its height this morning. At = yes
tcrday morning the thermometer here
registered 2i above zero. 1t rapidly fell,
and at 10 p IN. was at about zero, and
still on the decline. A like fall is noted
throughout the whole southwest, particu-
larry in western Kansas, where SO much
suffering already exists.

storm, il long continued, will cause great
suffering. Fodder is likewise scarce and
consequent loss to cattle must follow.

ST. PAUL, Feb. IA Huron, S. d., spe-
cial to the Pioneer Press says: The worst
storm experienced here since the great
blizzard of 1888 has prevailed here and
over the whole state. The temperature
was from Il to II degrees below zero. The
wind came from the west mt velocity of
forty to fifty miles an hour, driving the
snow SO fast that objects a block distant
could not be seen. Railroading is inter-
rupted, all trains being from two to four
hours late.

M,HULrA's POWERS EITBNDED.
An Important Step In the Reorganization
of tha Whisky Trust.

CHICAGO, April 12.-The first decided
step, showing the plans Of the reorgani-
zation committee of the Whisky Trust,
was taken this afternoon when, on its
behalf, General McNulta was appointed
receiver, with extended powers, and with
instructions TO bring about a Judgment
sale OF the property of the Distiiiins ana
Cattle Feeding Company II IS said that
the sale will be made at an early day;
that the property Will be bought in by
the reorganization committee, and that
new stock will be issued by them, and
dealt out in pro rata shares.
The bill fled to-day was signed by
Otto Gresham, son of the Secretary or
state as special counsel, and had upon
us face as plaintiffs the names of Ste
phen u. Bayer and Hugo Blumenthal, or
New York city, and ID. G. Bennett, or
Albany. y. Y. 1t recites the history OF
the Distuling and Cattle-Feeding Com
pany. which it claims are doing busi-
ness OF gO.OO0OOO annually, and had paid
S6,1lS,S6S IN dividends up TO the first OF
last February since which no dividends
nave been declared. lt tells of the ac-
tions OF ex-Presldent Greenhut and the
directors, and states as the ground Tor
the appointment of a receiver that the
company Is at present without quorum
OF directors. and cannot transact business,
that II new directors were elected. they
would be poWerless 10 act. without pos
session of the property, which Is al
ready held by a receiver. The bill fur
thcr recites that the company has large
leases. requiring large expenditure in
rentals, and also unperformed contracts
which the receiver is pOwerless 10 dis
pose Of and that as the business Of the
company cannot be transacted, the only
remedy is a sale and distribution of the
property.
The main object of the bill filed was
to bring about a sale Of the property,
and the next object was To make Gem
eral McNulta secure in his receivership.
1t now trapspires that at any time up
to the present the receiver could have
been wrested from his position. In the
Olmstead bill there was collision, by
stock having been turned over 10 Olm-
stead for the express purpose of sign
ing a bill for receiver and where jurs-
dictiOn r. given court by collusion. the
receivcrshiD will not stand. In the bill
where McNulta was appointed receiver
on application OF a creditor. in a IS go
CLAIM, the payment of the claim would
have ben all what would have been
necessary to end the receivershp there.
Hence il appears that the receivership
was very insecure until clinched by the
order OF the court this afternoon. The
reorganization committee considers their
move of to-day "A very important one, and
say 1t opens the way for a complete re-
organization without interference, as
the order of the court enjoins the Old
directors from interfering in any way.
