INTENSELY COLD AT SEA-
All Vessels Arriving Covered
With a Thick Coating
of Ice.

New YORK, Feb. glowing to the
intensely cold weather that has pre-
vailed along the coast for the past "a
hours, all the steamships arriving at
this port presented an imposing and
beautiful spectacle, with their hulls,
decks, spars and rigging coated with ico
from to 10 inches in thickness. The
steamship Justin, which reached quar-
antine about noon, looked like a moder-
ate sized floating iceberg. Her decks,
rails and rigging were solid mass OF
ice. Her sailors experienced consider
able difficulty in getting about the
decks, and suffered much from the
severe cold. The little British schooner
Southern Cross, which arrived from the
MOSQUITO coast laden with a cargo OF
cocoanuts, on being towed into the
Narrows, presented the appearance OF
an ice ship, her decks, sides and house
being covered with ice three feet in
thickness.

ROBBED THE PASSENGERS.

Another Train Holdup on the Atchison in
Kansas.
PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. 6.-The western
express on the Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Fe road, train No. 1, bound for
Colorado and California, was held up
one mile west of Sylvia, Reno county,
Kan, at 11:25 p. M, by four masked
men who signalled danger" Two OF
the robbers covered the engineer and
fireman with guns and two went to the
express car. For some reason, however,
they failed to effect an entrance and
then went to the coaches and made the
passengers give up all their valuables:
The train was held for an hour and 10
minutes by the robbers, who then rode
south. Conductor McGrath ran the
train back to Sylvia, and gave the
alarm, and Sheriff Patton was on the
trail with his posse in a few minutes.
The men are believed to be members OF
the Stafford gang.

happened to the vessel's machinery

between Mr.. Mitchell Of Oregon and
Mr.. Harris of Tennessee The words
'ungentlemanly" and "contemptible"

the conflict assumed a somewhat serio-

lapsed into an uneventful consideration
Of routine business. The District of

after having been before the senate
more than week, and discussion of the
diplomatic and consular bill was begun.

AWFUL DETAILS REC0UNTE0.
Harvard Lured the Girl to Her
Death With the Goodness
of a Fiend.
AUDIENCE HORROR STRICKEN,
But the Prisoner Only Smiles
Blandly at the Horrible
Recital.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-The horrible
story told by Claus Blixt, the self-con-
rs led assassin Of Miss Cling, was, in all
probability, the most CHASTITY tale ever
listened to in any courtroom since the
W, q 1s3an. When Blixt commenced
there was q silence so profound that the
rustic of handkerchief in any part Of
the room could have been heard. As it
progressed and the murderer told Of
Hayward's influence over him-of the
fear of this man that impelled him to-
the commission of SO vile an act-there
were sounds in the crowd akin to the
distant grooming Of an indignant multi
tude. The sound was not one that indi-
Gated rage, perhaps, more likely, it ex-
pressed the horror felt by the audience:
as it heard the mans statement. At
that moment, when Blixt, in the inten-;
sity OF his recital,
Had Become Frightfully Dramatic,
Hayward turned his head, gazed all
about him at the deputies, the awed
crowd and the attorneys, and smiled
aye, laughed aloud.
At that instant, too, his gaze met that
of Albert Hall, the assistant prosecutor.
The latter was appalled, by Hayward's
callousness-it showed in his queerly
lined face and made itself apparent in
the bend of his head. Mr.. Hall gazed
steadily at the accused, but Hayward
did not stop laughing. Then, appar-
emily, he became aware that the counsel
for the state was trying to embarrass
him, and SO, turning half round iu his
chair, he looked Mr.. Hall straight in the
eye and deliberately stared him out of
countenance.
State Springs Surprise.
The calling Of BlIxt at this time was a.
surprise on the part of the state. When
"Claus Alfred Bl It" was called the
states main witness walked firmly to
the desk and took the oath with
hand held high above him. The atti-
tude seemed almost one of defiance, and
his facial expression detracted nothing
from this impression. He mounted the
witness stand and sat composedly with
his hands crossed in front of him, evil
IDENTIFY characteristic attitude. Hay
ward never removed his eyes from the
man, gazing intently at him, and SEEM
ingly endeavoring to read his purposes.
But Blixt looked anywhere and every
where rather than at Hayward.

THE TESTIMONY.

Dramatic Recital of tho Awful Details Of
the Murder.
Mr.. Nye first drew out some informa-
ton as to his antecedents, and his en-
ployment as janitor by the Haywards.
In answer to questions from Mr.. Nye.
Blixt related how for six or seven weeks
before the murder Harry Hayward was
accustomed to come down into the en-
CINE room and have long talks with him.
Blixt pointed out the rooms on the dia-
gram of the flats where they were ac-
customed to talk, and went on to say
that along in November, Hayward be-
gan to talk to him about doing some out
side work in newspaper case.
This brought an objection from the
defense, and the court ordered the state
to make foundation for the introduce
ton of such testimony if it wished to
use it.
Was Going to Kill Her.
Accordingly the examiner took up at
once the Cling matter. Blixt described
how he had witnessed the note for i,
$1,000 given by Miss Cling to Hayward.
He said he had been instructed by
Harry to say when he saw the pile of
bills, "Jesus Christ, what a lot of
money" The note was offered in evil
dence and was found to be dated Nov.
"a, nine days before the murder. That
night in the basement of the Ozark,
Harry had said to him:
81 am going to kill her. did not let
her have $1,000. It was only $4,000. II
am going to take her around where !
have taken her here and gamble as high
as 81, 900 on her. am going to take her
to restaurant and have her show the
money and tell her how careless she'd
been.
"Afterward,' continued Blixt, che
told me that he took her around to al
restaurant and had her show the money,
and she placed it in tumbler while she
ate, and some one else told her she'd be
killed for her money"
would Have Her Life Insured.
"Did he say anything more?'
Eyes, he said he was going to have
her life insured and then kill her. He
said hs was going to drive out and find
place where there were some rocks
and throw her on the rocks and then
they would think it was a runaway. He
wanted me to go to St. Paul and get an

issue of $500, 900, 900 gold bonds for the
purpose Of retiring the legal tender and
treasury notes began in the house dur
ing the day and continued for six hours.
It developed widely divergent views at
the outset. The silver Democrats and
Populists opposed it outright. Some Of
the administration Democrats, like Hall
Of Missouri, favored substitute on the
lines of the Carlisle bill, while Mr..
Reed, the leader of the Republicans,
after a speech charging the present
trouble to the

tary Of the treasury to sell per cent
coin bonds to keep up the gold reserve
and certificates of Indebtedness, redeem
able at the pleasure of the government,
to pay current expenses until the rev.
enues shall equal the expenditures. The
issue of gold bonds, he said, would dis
criminate against the coin bond of the
past. Mr.. Patterson, Democrat from
Tennessee, on the contrary, favored the
issue Of gold bonds. The debate under
the 5-minute rule, when the bill is open
for amendment, begins in the morning.

SATURDAYS n,LL GAME.
a Fair Game Hut ycrJ small
Attendance

The rows of vacant seats on
Saturday afternoon would have
discouraged many ball teams but
it did not seem to make much
difference with Captain Thomp-
son and his players, for they
started to play ball from the
word 20, and even when the Ka-
mehameha scored three runs in
the first innings they did not get
ratified and succeeded in making
one tally. In the second the Kams
were put out without scoring
while the Unknown piled up four
more runs. In the third the
Kams made two and in the fourth
one, while the Unknowns made
one in each. From the fifth in
nings the Unknowns had things
their own way in spite of change
of pitcher, making one run in the
fifth, three in the sixth and one
in the eighth, while the Kams
scored only one each in the seventh
and eighth. The score at the end
of the game was II to s, the last
half of the ninth innings not being
played. Captain Thompson made
several running fly catches which
brought forth applause from
the spectators. The rapid throw
ing of the Unknown's third base
man to first has seldom been ex-
celled and Pitcher Woods played
his usual good game.
