The Great snow storm.

Probably the most remarkable snow
storm since 1856 was that which COW
cred this entire country from the Rocky
Mountains eastward and north Of the
Gulf States during last week. The fall
of snow, the extreme cold and the VIC
lent and protracted windstorm that &C
companied and followed the fall of snow,
combine to render it the wo rst in forty
years. Following in the wake Of one of
the most intensely cold waves, that
reigned here from Sunday of last week
came the snow on Thursday and during
it's fall the Thermometer ranged be-
tween zero and ten above, something
exceptional here. Beginning shortly
before midnight on Thursday and con-
continuing, in periods of about six hours
with intervals of about same duration
until Monday morning, the windstorm
ragged here, the wind veering about be
tween northwest and southwest, at
times reaching a rate of certa My forty
miles an hour. During the intervals Of
calm, the currents. high up, were heard
roaring through our mountain tops,
where there was little calm during three
daye.

FROM OUR REGULAR CoRPEspoNDEN


WAsuINaToN D C. February,1 nth, 1895.
It has been limited more than once
during the present session Of Congress
that President Cleveland did not want
any financial legislation, unless it met
his own ideas entirely. Now it isn't
limited. it is plainly spoked that he does
not. Since the sending Of his special
message to Congress, announcing that
he had negotiated the sale of $62 400,
600 in thirty-year 4 per cent bonds at
a price making the interest and 3 4
cent, and giving Congress the option Of
authorizing within ten days an issue Of
3 per cent. gold bonds, which he says
the purchasers will take in preference
to the 3 and "a per cent. coin bonds
there has not been the slightest doubt
about his position. He wants gold
bonds and nothing else. All talk about
the President meeting the silver men
half way in some compromise measure
snow ended and the issue squarely
made, gold bonds or nothing. 1t will
be nothing. Notwithstanding Mr..
Clevelands statement that gold bonds
would save the government SIG 100000
in the interest on these thirty year
bonds, no gold bond bill can possibly
become law. The silver men do not
regard this as a question Of interest, but
of principle, involving values beside
which $l6,000,00O would be a mere
biagatelle, and, as they absolutely con-
troll the Senate, they will kill any gold
bond BILL even if the House does not,
and besides, they may do some plain
talking about the President selling
bonds to private foreign syndicate
which bear 8 "a per cent. interest
when be could easily haye sold 3 per
cent. bond at home, thus, as they claim,
wasting Sic. 100000.
The impossible task ofgetting a thir-
ty-year per cent. gold bond through
the House has been assigned to Mr.
Wilson, chairman of the Ways and
Means committee and he discovered as
soon az he called the committee togeth-
er, if he did not know it before, that 1t
would be no small task to even get such
a bill reported to the House. The re
publicans and popuIists all oppose it
and more than half Of the democrats.
Few people knew, until the Srhate
declined to receive the petition asking
for legislation looking toward" int@rna
tional arbitration, which Wac signed by
e3e members Of the British Parliament

and brought to Washington by one OF
them, Mr.. Cremer, that there was q
rule against receiving petitions from
aliens. except through the minister or
other official representative Of the coun'
try in which the siguers resid Q, and
then it must be presented to the Score
tary of State and not directly to Con-
gress. 1t can readily be seen that 1t is
a good rule, too.
Of far more direct interest to the peo
pie Of the United States than the Mica
.agua Canal scheme, is the canal scheme
proposed in Senate amendment to the
Sundrv CIVIL appropriation bill. This
amendment authorizes the President to
appoint a commission of three persons
to confer with like commission to be
named by Great Britain and Canada on
the feasibility of building such canals
as will enable vessels engaged III ocean
com nerce to pass to and fro between the
great lakes and the Atlantic ocean with
an adequate and comfortable supply Of
water at all times.
Whether the Senate will take up and
pass the railroad pooling bill, is still a
matter of doubt with the chances some
what against the bill. A member of
the House-Conn, of Ind. lis response
bic for the following language: "The
Senate can do this country service by
not taking up the pooling bill. That
measure was lobbied through the House
BY the liberal use OF railroad passes and
generous employment of railroad at
torneys, and deserves to be killed In the
Senate"
The Hawaiian cable amendment to
the diplomatic and consular appropra-
tion bill went through the Senate easily
S democrats voting with the repub loans
and populiats for it. and one republican
-Pettigrew-with the democrats
against it. 1t authorizes the President
to make contract for laying the cable
and appropriates $5oo,ooo to begin the
work.
There are just three weeks remaining
of this session Of Congress aud six OF
the regular appropriation billie are yet
to be acted upon by the Senate. This
Of itself would be sufficient to make the
fate of ali other legislation doubtful;but
in addition, republican Senators are now
openly saying that it is their intention
to block any legislation of Importance
except the appropriation bills Sena-
tors do not always mean what they say
about their intentions, but there are
numerous Indications that this time
they do, and if they do they certainly
have the power to do 80.
Washington was for time cut off
from the rest of the world on account
of the great blizzard and snow storm
and although most of the railroads are
now open there is little or no communi
cation with the surrounding country bv
ordinary roads yet, and the Potomac
river is closed to navigation. As con
sequence there is great scarcity of that
class of food products furnished by tho
surrounding country. So great is the
suffering among the poor that Congress
has without opposition appropriated $40
900 to be Immediately available for their
relief.

While the numbers of men and boys en-

Wales has remained nearly constant dur
ing the past five years, and the variations
in total weight of fish caught comparing
one year with another have been very
slight, many of the fishing ports have suf-
fered vicissitudes. Grimsby retains its
position as chief of them all, and London,
of fish landed, is still second, but Var
mouth has changed places with its neigh
Dor, Lowestoft, and Neyland, instead of
