HEAVY FALL OF SNOW
Prospects Of Another Big
Blockade.
WINTER in THE SIERRAS.
Danger Of a Repetition Of the Events
Of Five Years Ago.
ROTARY PLOWS TACKLE TIE DRIFTS.
Already Trains on the Central Overland
Route Are Impeded and All Traffic
May Soon Cease.

RENO, New, Jan. 17.-To-day is the ami
versary of the snow blockade of five years
ago, and from present indications train
service may again be tied up. 1t has been
showing here since early this morning,
twelve inches have fallen, and about ten
inches remain as reminder of winter.
Snow is now falling very fast, and is
eight feet on level at Truekee and is still
piling up, three and half feet having
fallen to-day. Eighteen feet is reported at
the Summit. The passenger train due here
at o:15 O'Clock this morning left Blue Can
yon at this evening behind a rotary, but
with what success remains to be seen.
The passenger train wrecked at White
Plains yesterday pulled into Reno at 4
o'clock this afternoon, closely followed by
the regular train of to-day. Both pulled
out for Truckee, but did not expect to get
over the hill tonight. 1t is given out that
the train due here from the West this
morning will arrive by midnight, but it is
exceedingly doubtful if it gets through at
all. Snow is falling very fast in the noun
tains, but not drifting much.
All freight trains on the Central are
abandoned. Two powerful engines with a
fianger have just pulled out to fight the
storm king in the mountains. Snow is
falling faster now than at any time for five
years. Later reports say if the storm con-
tinues four hours longer the road will be
blocked. The wind is blowing hurricane
at Truckee. The Blue Canyon, Virginia
and Truckee road is still open.
DENVER, Jan. 17.-Reports from the
mountains tell of heavy SHOWS in the
southern and western parts of the State.
At Creole it is the deepest fall of the year,
being fourteen inches on the level and still
falling. A large snowslide narrowly
missed killing several men, and it stopped
all ore hauling for several days.
At Silverton the D. & r. G. R. R. is
blocked. A snowslide buried an entire
train of pack mules and their drivers, but
all got out alive. There is no prospect OF
the snow letting up. Near Buena Vista
three feet of snow is reported in the
mountains

CHANGES THE STATUS.

he reported to the Assembly resolution
inspired by economy. The resolution
fixed the number of attaches and their
compensation below that of last session.
The reading enlisted eager attention, but
the motion to adopt met with vigorous re-
sistance. Dodge moved to defer consldera-
ton of the report until tomorrow morn
ing and on the rollcall forty-six members
voted as Dodge desired. There is no dis
position to approach economic legislation
with undue haste. The pressure for place
is undiminished, hence the refusal of the
Assembly to hedge itself with rules against
the employment of more attaches.
In the matter of standing committees the
Speaker again disappointed great num-
Der of Assemblymen who expect to receive
the prize of craftsmanship. Gloom per-
vaded the San Francisco delegation when
the Speaker said that the committees would
not be announced until tomorrow. Two
announcements, however, were made, OBJ
viously to set at rest rumors of unfairness.
Judge Waymire of Alameda was named as
chairman of the Committee on Constitu-
tional Amendments and Judge Spencer
chairman of the Committee on Election
Laws. Judge Waymire's committee has a
high rolling sound from the chief clerks
desk, and it may have clerk, stem
ographer and sergeant-at-arms in the
payroll, but it is not the place Alameda
would have chosen for her favored son in
the Assembly.
Julius Kahn, ex-Assemblyman and the
original John the Baptist of De Young
Senatorial advent, was on the floor of the
Assembly after adjournment, greeting and
receiving the greetings of members. He is
doing a little missionary work on the side
for De Young and seems pleased with the
prospects of his ideal candidate

BILLS POURING IN.
Senator's Cannot Seem to Get Enough of
Near Measures.


Netc Measures.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.-When the Senate
met this morning VOORHEES, arose to a
question of privilege. He referred to an
assertion in San Francisco morning
paper of the 18th that he had received a
long letter from a Catholic priest of jack
son, Amador County, urging him to vote
for De Young for Senator. In justice to
the clergyman named he wished to deny
the assertion, which he said was not true.
O'Day offered a concurrent resolution
instructing the State Printer to print in all
school textbooks of the grammar grade
and above the Declaration of Independence
and the constitution of the United States
and the State of California; also the ma
tional song, "The Star-spangled Banner"
Seymour's resolution, amending the
rules by appointment of a committee on
retrenchment and public expenditures,
whose duty it shall be to determine what
commissions and offices may be CONSOLE
dated or abolished, was adopted.
A large number of bills were then intro
duced. A bill was introduced by Bert to
repeal the act by which DR.. Potter's Home
for Inebriates in San Francisco was created.
The object of the bill is to abolish the in
stitution.
A constitutional amendment proposed
by Senator Bert is intended to provide for
the formation of corporations of limited
liability. 1t is modelled after the New
York law. 1t is argued that under the ex-
listing law capitalists are slow to incur the
unknown liability consequent upon their
investment in new enterprises.
Under suspension of the rules, Senator
Withington's bill to relieve the en-
barrassment of the county government of
San Diego was read twice and placed upon
its final passage. The bill will probably
pass the Senate tomorrow.
Hart presented bill for an additional
Superior Judge for Sacramento County.
Burke introduced bill providing for the
appointment of an official stenographer
for the Coroner in every county of over
100000 inhabitants.
A bill by Senator MCGOWAN is designed
to prohibit gas companies from exacting
deposits for putting in meters.
The anti-scalpers' bill, which brought
an energetic lobby to Sacramento last ses-
sion, was reintroduced by Senator Hart.
The bill prohibits the sale of railroad
tickets by any but transportation COM
panies, and provides that the unused por-
tons of such tickets must be redeemed by
the companies ssuing them.
At 1915 o'clock the Senate adjourned.

Murphy, principal of the Tehama Primary
School, are here in the interest of pen
sion provision for teachers. The old plan
OF asking State pension has been aban-
doned. 1t is now asked that law similar
to that in Germany shall be adopted, by
which the teachers shall each month con-
tribute small portion of their salaries to
the pension fund.
Martin Kelly has primary bill which
he is anxious to see the Legislature adopt.
1t provides for the holding of all primaries
throughout the State of all political parties
on the same day.
Senator Bert will present bill to in
crease the term of office of Police Judges
IN San Francisco from two to six years.
This would make their terms the same as
those OF Superior Judges. 1t does not
Affect the lncumbents in office.

Practically the Great Brooklyn Street
Car Strike Is UnbrOken.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Jan. 17.-Still the great
trolley strike remains unsettled, and both
the officials of the companies and the
strikers claim to be sure of victory. Aside
from the breaking of the strike on the De-
Kalb and Franklin-avenue lines of the
Brooklyn and Newton Company, and the
running of few cars on the Putnam-ave-
nue. line of the Brooklyn, the situation is
practically unchanged. Presidents Lewis
and Norton of the Brooklyn Heights and
the Atlantic-avenue roads declare they
have nothing to arbitrate and that if the
men wish to return to work at the old
terms they may do so.

LOCAL MEASURES.
One of Them Is filmed at the Home of
the Ine6riates.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.-Bert introduced a
bill in the Senate to-day, which will cause
trouble for the Home for the Care of the
Inebriates in San Francisco. The bill is
one of some length. practically abolishes
the home, and removes from this institu-
ton of quasi-public character all aid in
an official way. 1t is introduced by request.
Senator Martin led forlorn charge to-
day against the resolution introduced by
Senator Seymour, the text of which is as
follows:
RESOLVED, That q standing committee be ap-
pointed to consist of five members, to be named
the committee on retrenchment and public ex-
penditures, with the following prescribed drl-
ties: 1t shall be the duty OF the committee on
retrenchment and public expenditures to as
certain what State commissions, institutions,
or boards, if any, can be abolished with advan-
tage to the public, in view of more economi-
cal administration of State affairs; to ascertain
what expenditures and salaries of the various
public offices and institutions can be advan-
tageously reduced or discontinued; to prepare
and report TO the Senate such bills or resolu-
lions as may be required to carry out the
recommendations of the committee.
The resolution was adopted, and the com
mittee will be named to-day by Speaker
pro tenn. Flint. A vigorous crusade
against the committee is urged.
Among the bills of more than general
interest to be introduced tomorrow are
two by Senator Earl. One of his measures
provides that the Superior Judges shall
determine the trial jurors instead of the
Board of Supervisors. The bill affects
every county in the State except San Fran
cisco. The other measure provides that
applicants for admission to the bar shall
be examined by three Supreme Court Com
missioners, who shall report to the Su-
preme Court for final review This will
prove saving of time to the Supreme
Court, which now has to conduct the ex-
animation.
Assemblyman Ewing has bill to amend
the registration law. He desires to abolish
precinct registration, and has provision
that the application for registration shall
be made out in triplicate. The would be
voter will be infinitely described as to age,
complexion and all physical peculiarities.
He will sign two of the slips, one will be
kept at the Registrars Office, the second
will be sent to the voters polling-place,
and he will keep the third and unsigned
blank, which he will sign when he goes to
to the polling booth to cast his vote. If
the signature then made corresponds with
that which the precinct officers have on the
duplicate slip he will be allowed to vote. If
it does not the vote cannot be cast.

Indian Territory.

Indian Territory.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 1.-THE Legis-
lature met in joint session to-day and lis
tened to the reading of Governor Fish
backs last message. In reference to the
Indian Territory he said:
sit cannot but be a matter of regret, and
indeed calamity, to every lover of law
and order in Arkansas that our Ma
tional Government, instead of the
change which its duty so imperatively
demands, is contemplating an effort
to fortify it against any change by the es-
adjustment of still greater number of
salaried officials, whose interest and whose
zeal will combine with those of the army
of men already having pecuniary interest
in the present condition, to continue state
of affairs which is hurtful to every interest
but their own, and which, if this Territory
and the State of Arkansas were both indie
pendent nations, would justify the latter
in declaration of war"

Topeka, Kans., Jan. 1.-THE Republican

tons held caucuses this evening and
schemed to work combination of some

they were much chagrined. The vote was
So to 50 for adjournment. This is strict

winning by one vote. Governor Morrill,

TACOMA, Jan. 1.-THE matter of the con-
firmation of the sale of the Point Defiance
street railway to S. Mitchell of Portland
for $50, 900 came up before Judge Pritchard
this afternoon in the form of petition of
two Pennsylvania banks to intervene and
have the confirmation postponed until their
claims for $1,000 are adiudicated. Their
petition was denied. Judge Pritchard has
announced his willingness to confirm the
sale, but the attorney of the Northwest
General Electric Company has filed no.
tice of appeal from the confirmation. To-
morrow an attempt will be made to dis
tribute the $4,000 among eight claimants.
Each claim is represented by one or more
prominent attorneys, who watch each
others movements in court with jealous
eyes.

New YORK, Jan. 17.--At the Convent of
the Sacred Heart, Kenwood, Madison
County, last night the Rev. Father Luke
Evars, curate of the Church of st. Cath
crime of Genoa, received the final VOWS of
five young novitiates. Among the five
was Miss Ruth Burnett of Boston, most
intimate friend of Mrs. Cleveland. The
others were the Misses Ryan and Graham
of Chicago and the Misses Hummill and
Joachim of this city.
Miss Burnett, who is connected with
prominent Boston families, was converted
to the church little more than a year
ago, and shortly sfterward entered upon
the novitiate, Father Evars receiving the
vows then.
Mrs. Cleveland was invited to attend the
ceremony by Miss Burnett, and wrote a
most pleasing letter of acknowledgment,
wishing her much peace aad happiness in
her religious work, and expressed great
pleasure that she had found Joy and con-
tentment.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 1.-THE Republi-
can joint caucus to select a Senatorial can
didate convened tonight. The nomination
of Shelby NJ. Cullom to succeed him
self in the United States Senate
had all but been foregone conclu-
sion for twenty-four hours or more, and
little remained but to ratify the apparently
well established sentiment of the members
by a formal rollcall. Senator Berry of
Hancock placed the name of Senator Gull
lom in nomination in a brief eulogistic
speech. Hon. George S. Willets of Chi
cago was then nominated by Senator An
thony. A formal vote was then taken, re-
sulting in Senator Cullom's nomination as
follows: Cullom 1903, Willets %. The
choice was made unanimous.

Joseph Ludwig, the young men arrested
last week for forgery and counterfeiting

when arrested had tickets on fictitious

Dealers Under the Ban.
DECATUR, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE farmers of
Adams County are effecting a successful
boycott on the merchants of this city.
They have been holding secret meetings
and claim they have the pledges OF 700
farmers who will do no more trading with
merchants in Decatur. Usually on Satur-
day from 800 to 400 farmers come to town
and the merchants do good business. AS
q result OF the boycott but few people were
in the city last Saturday and but little bust
ness was done.
The farmers give as reason of the boy
colt that Decatur citizens extend to them
no hospitality. They have established gen.
eral stores at Preble and Monmouth and
will put in many more at once. Decatur
merchants are somewhat alarmed over the
probable outcome OF the boycott.
