From Texas to Flor
ida.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. IA. = For
more than twelve hours past snow
has fallen here steadily, and tonight
the Crescent City is wrapped in a
mantle of white such as she has new
er worn before. At o'clock this
evening eight inches of snow had
fallen. In the more widespread part
of the city the fall may have reached
ten inches. The weather official says
the temperature will fall sufficiently
during the night to keep the snow on
the streets tomorrow. During the
day business was almost entirely
suspended. One or two sleighs,
which in some manner had found
their way into the hands of several
liVerymen in by-gone days, were
pulled out, cleaned and put into use.
Dispatches received tonight show
that the snow storm has been gen
era1 throughout the state, but was
heaviest in Southwest Louisiana.
Eighteen inches fell at Lake Charles.

newcd.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 14-Today the
Woman's suffrage resolution came up
again in the house on Colds motion to
reconsider. Mr.. Burke moved to lay on
the table. The proposition was lost.
The question then recurring on the
motion to reconsider, which carried by
a vote of 40 to SO, Perrin and Hesla hav-
ing changed from yesterdays vote and
several being absent. 1t being evident
that the opponents of the measure had
failed to hold their majority and that
the advocates of it had secured a ma
jority in its favor, the motion to post
pone until next Tuesday carried with
practically no opposition. By that time
absent members, three of whom favor
the bill, are expected to return. In the
senate also most interesting event
occurred. Ever since the capital fight
of 1890 Huron has been ambitious to re-
verse the decision then arrived at, and
each session has seen capital removal
DILL. Today Senator Aplin introduced a
bill removing the capital from Pierre
to Huron, and made strong fight for
it. Senator Bennett, of Hughes, moved
to indefinitely postpone it without ref
erence to committee, and after de-
bate, in which Messrs. MCGEE, Boyce,
Doran and Bennett favored the motion,
and Mr.. Aplin opposed it, it carried
and the bill was killed by a vote of 90
to 10. In the senate the bill increasing
salaries of judges by $500 each was re-
ported faVorably and the report adopt-
ed. Senator Howell's joint resolution
prohibiting monopolies and trusts in
the state passed. Both houses having
agreed to the house bill allowing county
commissioners to buy seed grain for
farmers in need, the bill went to the
governor.

studious habits, he early entered upon
the study of law. His poverty, how
ever, compelled him to accept afclerk-
ship in a merchantile house at New

and strict integrity soon raised him to
partnership in the business, and in
few years he became sole proprietor in
the establishment. In 1855 he removed
hs family to Union City, Ind, where
| he resided for many years, and where,
after successfully continuing the mer-
camille business for few years, he en-

didate for congress against Hon.
George W. Julian, who had long rep
resented that district in the house of
representatives. After a close con-
test he was defeated by about 300
votes. Two years later he was elected
to the state senate, where he remained
| four years. Since 1871 he has been an
active member of the Democratic
| party, serving as a member of the In
! diana delegation to the Liberal Re
| publican convention in 1872. He was
| nominated by acclamation on the
| Democratic ticket for lieutenant gov
| ernor, was elected to that honorable
| position in 1876, and was renominated
for the same place in 1880 by the state
| convention. In 1884 Mr. Gray was
| elected governor of Indiana on the
| Democratic ticket and served his full
! term He was called to the Mexican
mission by President Cleveland about
two years ago. In 1850 he married
| Miss Eliza Jacqua, of Darke county,

Severe on Stock,

BOHEMIAN, Mont, Feb. IA. - The
present cold weather is beginning to
tell severely on the range cattle in
parts of this county. Cattle men re-
port great suffering among range cat
tie, and if the present cold and snow
continues much longer large losses will
follow. Gray wolves have made their
appearance in this part of the state
for the first time this year, and de-
stroyed large numbers of the young
calves and colts. The cold has made
them bold, and they have destroyed
large numbers of grown stock. Great
anxiety is felt among stock men con-
corning this nuisance, and the legisla-
ture has taken steps in the form of
bounty law to rid the ranges of these
dangerous marauders.

HARE is FIGHTING 1T.
South Dakota bishop Opposed to
the New Divorce BilJ.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. IA
Bishop Hare, Episcopal bishop of
South Dakota, has placed in the hands
of the printer manifesto on the di-
vorce question, now being considered
by the legislature. He will spread
this address all over the state as fast
as the mails can carry it.
1t denounces the proposed divorce
law as a disgrace, and says that it is
merely bid for the divorce business
of the country. Bishop Hare spent
Sunday and Monday at the state capi-
tai, using his wide influence against the
passage of the bill by the senate; but
in spite of his efforts the senate
passed it on Tuesday by vote of 26 to
49,
Now the bishop hopes, by circulating
petitions, to get signitures enough to
influence the house of representatives
to kill the measure. This move on the
part of the bishop is thoroughly in
dorsed by the Ministers association
of this city.

Moorhead Warrants Plentiful

Special to the Globe.
MOORHEAD, Feb. 14.-There are at
present outstanding Moorhead city
warrants to the amount of SIC, 1886. .93.
This large amount is caused by the
payment of the expense of paving
Front and Fourth streets last summer
by warrants. The expense Of the
pavement was $11 ,O1093, and the entire
amount is payable by property owners
along these streets with the 1894 taxes.
1t is expected that the paving war;
rants will all be redeemed this year,
as any delinquent taxes can easily be
made up from the saloon license
money which will be received early in
the summer.

DONE WHAT SHERMAN DID.

He had sold 4 per cent thirty-year
bonds at the rate Of 1041a with the
right to substitute at par 8 per cent
gold bonds. If the government con-
tinued to maintain it's traditional
policy the 4 per cent bonds would be
virtually payable in gold because
the government was bound to main
tain all it's currency on a parity. AS
the bonds will be paid in gold, it
was the-sens of the ways and means
committee that there ought to be no
hesitation in making these bonds
payable in gold and saving to the
government the interest charges
amounting to over SIG, 6,000 GOO. The
contract is already made by which
gold is being put into the treasury
and placed on vessels for shipment
to this country 1t cannot be set
aside. it was made under ample pro-
vision of law. The question pre-
sented here is whether we will sub
stitute for 4 per cent coin thirty
year bond a 8 per cent gold bond.
Mr.. Hopkins (Rep., Ill) said that
the question was whether the gov
ernment at this late day should by
the extraordinary methods OF
President Cleveland and his secre-
tary of the treasury change it's estab-
| lished. policy under thirty-fiVe years
| of Republican rule and make it's
bonds payable in gold. Why did not
| the president, he asked, call the at
tention of these foreign capitalists
to the fact that this country had
settled policy. (Applause.) If the
statement Mr.. Wilson had made had
been true that coin was really as
good as gold in the contract and
meant the same thing, why had not
the president told these capitalists
so? I oppose this resolution" he
continued, because it will, in my
| judgment, destroy the credit of the
| United States. In the future it
would be necessary to put the word
gold into every bond. The bond
holder was directly interested in
driving this country to- a silver
basis and sending gold to a premium.
The Rothschilds by this method
| could double the value Of their hcid-
ings.

of the ways and means committee,
opposed the resolution.

MIR. WILSON OPENS.


MR.. WILSON OPENS.
Mr.. Wilson, chairman of the ways
and means committee, who opened
the debate, cautioned the house at
the very outset that unless the de-
bate could be restricted to the resolu-
ton from the ways and means COM
mittee to the exclusion of all par
tisanship, it would be impossible to
vote intelligently on the question at
it's conclusion. Mr.. Wilson then pro-
ceeded to carefully state the case,
covering the ground traversed by
his report to the house yesterday.
He spent much time celebrating the
events leading up to the conditions
which compelled the secretary of the
treasury to make the contract with
the syndicate for the purchase. of
gold. He said that there was no
dearth of revenues in the treasury.
Today, he declared, there was an
available cash balance in the treas
ury of $165, 100000, a larger balance
than on June 80, 1892, by $4,000, GOO,
when it was $129, 600, 900, including the
gold reserve. Today the gold re-
serve stood at $42,213,0 ,000
Mr.. Wilson reviewed the history
of the gold reserve, established to
insure the resumption of specie pay
ments. The reserve had not been
threatened until the panic of 1890,
when, in a single month (November),
$24,O00,000 of gold had been with
drawn.
In the course of the panic 1890 the
So, 100000 of bank trust funds had
been passed to the available assets
of the treasury.
Since then bonds had. been sold
three times to replenish the gold in
the treasury, twice within six
months. The previous operations of
the treasury had resulted, he said,
in the United States exchanging it's
own bonds for it's own gold, and now
Secretary Carlisle had done what
Secretary Sherman did time and
time again when he was refunding
the public debt-he had purchased
gold in other markets than our own.
Mr.. Wilson contrasted the situation
of the treasury in 1882 with it's situ-
alton now in regard to the burden to
be borne by the gold reserve. Then
no greenbacks were being presented
| for redemption, and the reserve was
only necessary for practical pur-
poses to support the outstanding sill
yer, amounting to but $200000,000
Today it supported the entire cur
rency fabric, $500,000 600 of outstand-
| ing legal tenders and treasury notes,
$500, 100000 Of overvalued silver and
all the national bank notes out
| standing. Mr. Wilson said that Sec
retary Carlisle in borrowing this
| gold had only gone and
