THE CONSUL GENERAL AT WEN

EFFICIENT UFE-SAVING SERVICE.
Superintendent of That Department
Makes Flattering Report-Some of
the Congressional Committees
Begin Work.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The report of
Mr.. Kimball, the general superintendent
of the life saving service, for the year
ending June 30, exhibits the most salts
factory results yet accomplished by that
service. At the close of the year the
establishment comprised 256 stations, of
which 145 were located on the Atlantic
and gulf coasts, fifty-fve on the great
lakes. fourteen on the Pacific coast and
one at the falls of the Ohio, Louisville,
Ky. The number of disasters to docu-
mented vessels within the scope of the
service was 437, involving 1908 persons,
of whom 1886 were saved and 13 lost.
The estimated value of the vessels was
$3.50, 140 and of the cargoes $3,846.380,
q total of over $12,000,OO0.
of this amount, $1,436,750 was lost. The
number of documented vessels totally
lost was 67.
There were also during the year 243
casualties to undocumented small craft,
sail boats, etc. OF the 594 persons on
board, 5S7 were saved.
Other persons ION board vessels) to the
number of 81 were saved from drowning,
all of whom would have probably per-
ished but for the vigilance and prompt
ness of the life saving crews. During
the year the crews saved and assisted to
save 472 vessels, valued, with their car
goes, at $4,S53,110. Of this number
317 were saved without outside assist
ance, aggregatng with the cargoes a
value of $977, ,495, with loss of only SILL
713. In the remaining 154 instances the
life saving crews assisted others in saving
property valued at $1,975,OOO out of a
total of $3100,00O imperilled.
Less important services were rendered
to III other vessels in distress The
patrol has warned from danger by their
night signals PIT vessels and by day sig
nails 10. The loss of life and property
averted in these instances can not be
estimated, but the circumstances under
which large proportion of the warnings
we're made indicate that it was consid-
erable.
Attention is invited to the inadequacy
of conversation of superintendents of
lifesaving districts and their crews

SUGGESTS RETALIATION.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Retaliation
against the European countries that seek
to destroy American trade is suggested
by United States Consul General JUDD,
nt Vienna. He says that the Austrian
glucose producers, finding their trust pow
eress to meet the rates asked by Ameri,
cans, appealed to their government and
the latter has increased the duty on i'm
ported glucose from 7 1-2 to 8 florins per
100 kilos, to take effect December l.
This is aimed directly at America, as the
limited States is the only country COM
peting for this trade, and will shut us
out from further sale of syrup. Mr..
Judd says:
1T has been this way with other arti-
cles from which America found market.
Would not threatened retaliatory meas
ure, say against porcelain and glassware,
have the desired effect of possibly pre-
venting the intended change from going
into effect 2"

BLIZZARD NEWS.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov 30.-News from
the great blizzard has been very meagro
today. So far as learned, only five lives
have been lost. Of course nothing has
yet been heard from the remote districts
beyond the reach of the telegraph and
it will be another week before it can be
positively stated that there has not been
more serious loss of life.
Stock on the ranges has undoubtedly
suffered heavily and fuel famine is
threatened in many towns in the Da-
kotas. This is by no means a trivial
matter where the mercury is ranging
from Is to 80 degrees below zero.
The railroads are beginning to get
trains running again. The Great North.
ern got it's first train from the snowbound
district this morning and the Northern
Pacific is now open from Portland to St
Paul. Delayed westbound trains, con-
tinental trains on this road, which were
being held at Tower City and Fargo,
left those points at o'clock this morn,
ing and will be due here tomorrow.

RAILROADS. BEGIN TO MOVE.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 30.-The Great
Northern road has opened up its lines.
The trains are not by any means run
ming with regularity but are getting
through. The Northern Pacific expects
to have its road opened today and train
from the coast will arrive in st. Paul
tomorrow. A train from Devils Lake
arrived on the Great Northern at z
o'clock this morning and one from Seattle
reached here at o'clock. Others are
on the way. The roads are having a
hard fight with the elements. For sew
eral days it was impracticable to do any
thing toward clearing the track because
of the continued fall of snow and the
strong wind that kept up the drifting.
The wind has not entirely abated but
the rotaries have been steadily at work
for three days. 1t has been necessary,
to use axes and picks to remove ice ana
sand accumulated in the cuts. Inns In
made the work progress slowly; Ihe
track is now clear of the worst obstacles
and the snow plows can be used with
good effect. .o,,+
, Transcontinental lines are now accept
ing passengers and freight for through
business.
