Omaha, Neb., Jan. 13.-A special to

office of Secretary of State Piper this
morning. He said he would leave Hol-
dredge Monday for Denver, where 100

Just now the offices of the State Re-

typewriters and stenographers are kept
constantly at work and Secretary Lud-
den has barely time to snatch a lunch
at midday. Generous responses are
received by each mail In the shape Of
cash or intelligence of the shipment of
supplies from points in all parts Of the
country. The Moline Plow Company's
check for $500, through Edward Rose

Insurgents.
Jacksonville Fla, Jan. 13.-Early this
morning there steamed up the bay a
small ship that turned out to be the
Norwegian ship PARAGON, that sailed
from Boston about a week ago. This
is the mysterious unknown vessel as
ISOLATED with the yacht Lagonda, de
tanned by customs officers here yester-
day and suspected because Of rifles
and cutlasses being aboard. The Para
Goa is a swift iron steamer Of $50 tons
register.
Captain Clausen says his instruc-
tions from Mr.. Borden, the charter
party, had been to proceed from Bos-
ton to Ferdlnanda and load with 800
tons Of merchandise for West Indian
ports. He had received f455 in ad-
vance for his services.
1t transpired to-day that Borden re
ceiyed the day before Christmas, via
the Mallory line, $50 large and small
cases supposed to contain arms and
ammunition. All that can be found Of
the $50 cases are the few on the La
gonda now in charge of the United
States deputy marshal. The river will
probably be dragged tomorrow for the
missing cases. The Lagonda was
seized under the neutrality law.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 12.-Ex-Governor
Waite of Colorado is in the city. In
speaking to reporter Of the lecture he
will deliver at Washington, entitled
"Who is Our Fat FrIendP he said:
II do not intend to attack the per-
sonality of the executive. OF course
Mr.. Cleveland can't help being fat any
more than can help being thin. Then
there are many other fat men in Wash
ington. All will do is to bring out
the tyrannical acts of the president as
look upon them. I am not making
this lecture tour for the purpose of in
Producing myself to the people of the
United States with a view to being
a presidential possibility when possi-
bilities begin to appear for the cam
paign of 1896. Neither am making
venture for pecuniary gain. My sole
purpose Is to educate the people to
Populism. Its principles are misun-
derstood and fagrantly misrepresent-
ed. The only way to spread the truth
is to talk to the people.
II believe that the Peoples party will
60 back to power in Colorado after the
next election. We are the strongest
organized body In the state and would
have won last year had 1t not been for
the most despicable corruption. On
the Saturday before the election we
had the state. But between that time
and election day the Mexican and Ital-
ian vote, which are purchasable, and
the Catholic vote of the eastern part
Of the state, which is easily swayed,
was turned against us by some cor
rupt means. Then the women's votes
went against us. The servant girls
caused this. Some families in Denver
hired as many as four and five SER
wants just before election to vote them
as they wished. These young women
did not know anything more about the
principles involved than a 3-year-old
child. 1 think that Populist presi-
dent is possibility in the near future
probably not in 1896 The chances
will be improved If hard times con-
tlnue. Dissatisfaction with the old
parties will do us untold good. Yes,
l know that prior to the late election
times were hard and all that. The
reason the Populists lost In Kans Is
was that the Republican platform was
like that Of the Peoples party on the
monetary question, and the voters Of
that state voted for republicans be-
cause they thought more could be &C.
complished by that party"

Destruction and Death on Land and
sea.
London, Jan. 13.-A terrific gale, ac-
companied by heavy snow fall, pre-
vailed throughout the country Satur-
day night. The cold was intense. The
snowdrifts in some places were twelve
feet deep. The mail carts were stopped.
The drivers who attempted to make
the trips suffered terribly. The high
ways are blocked and railway traffic is
delayed. The telegraph lines are
down in all directions. All the cross
channel steamers were hours late. The
Cunard line steamer Lucania from Liv-
erpool yesterday for New York arrived
at Queenstown three and one-half
hours late.
Several vessels are ashore on the
coast Of Wales. The bark Brilliant,
from Cuba for Bremen, was driven
ashore in Poole bay, Doreotshire. Her
crew were rescued by lifeboat Some
of them were injured. The vessel Will
probably become a total wreck. 1t is
reported that two ships foundered on
the Humber and that their crews were
drowned.

A barge was wrecked off Sandgate,
Kent, and the rescue of her crew was
accompanied by exciting scenes. The
lifeboat men attempted to launch their
boat, but the craft got stuck in snow
bank and it was found impossible to
get her into the water. At this juno
ture a heroic coast guardsman divested
himself of his heavy clothing and, car

stroke, he, after severe struggle,

crew and their gallant rescuer were
safe on board.
