SUFFERING IN THE SOUTHWEST.
There Are Fully Eight Hundred Families
in Knnaaa Without EneI

in Kansas without Fuel.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb 7.-Blinding
snow and sand storms and a rapidly fall.
ing thermometer have combined within
the last twenty four hours to create the
worst blizzard that has prevailed in the
southwest in years The weather began to
grow colder yesterday morning, and each
hour since then has marked IL steady de-
cline in the Thermometer, The local
weather officials predict that Is below zero
will probably be recorded before the cold
wave reaches its height At o'clock yes
terday morning the thermometer here reg.
istered "a degs, above zero 1t rapidly fell
and at 10 p. m. was at zero, and still ON the
decline.
A like fall Is noted throughout the
whole southwest, particularly in Kansas,
where SO much suffering already exists.
In some places the cold is SO intense that
outdoor business hos been suspended. A
northwest wind amounting almost to
gale is drifting the snow badly and caus-
ing damage to telegraph wires and street
car traffic. The Union Pacific system is
practically showed under, and all trains
are late. In the country tho storm sweeps
across tho prairie and open fields with ter
rifle force At Salina, Startling and other
Kansas points the sand is blown about In
dense clouds. Where the elements have a
clean sweep tho thermometer Is already
down to and below zero.
1t is estimated that at least 800 families
in the Cheyenncs, Rawlins, Sherman and
Thomas counties are without fuel. Many
of the farmers are scantily clothed, and
while the sod houses in which most Of
them live are warm, the storm, II long
continued, will cause great suffering.
Fodder is likewise scarce and consequent

IN FAVOR OF Brazil
President Cleveland Settles the Long Pend
fnE Boundary Dispute.


WASHINGTON, Feb. THE president
yesterday announced his decision as arbi-
TRAITOR between Brazil and Argentina In
the boundary dispute bstween the two
countries over tho Missiones territory.
The decision is In favor of Brazil.
The territory involved covers an area of
81 900 square miles, and has a population
of about 1000 inhabitants. In carly col.
onial times 1t was the subject Of frequent
controversy between the crowns of Portu.
gal and Spain, and efforts have been made
in more recent times to arrange the dis
putes between Brazil and Argentina by
treaty, but all without success up to this
time ...
The situation Of the disputed territory
Is of no little interest, not only from q
political but~from military standpoint
Its loss to Brazil would almost have cut off
the rich and populous state OF Rio Grando
do Sui from tho remainder OF the repub-
lie, leaving only n narrow neck OF land of
something less than fifty leagues In width
Gs a means of connection. Thus the ter
ritory of Missioncs, II held by foreign
power, would be continual menace to the
peace and progress of Rio Grand do SUI, as
well as to the states Of the north. Inas-
much as Missiones has always boon in the
possession of Brazil, tho willingness OF the
latter to submit the matter to arbitration
has caused considerable favorable com.
ment
