the King Which Holds the
Chilled Northwest.

st. Paul, Nov. 2S.-Human bsings have
been frozen to death. cattle have been
stampeded and buried and smothered in
snow drifts, trains are delayed, wires are
down and the November storm record is
broken by the blizzard that holds the
northwest locked in its chilled grasp. How
many lives have been sacrificed can not
be told until the snow drifts clear away
months hence. Men are missing every
where in the heart of the storm. Some
are known to be dead and many missing
with chances very much against them be-
ing alive. Those dead and missing are:
Thomas Anderson, IS years old, lost in
the snow near Moorehead, MINI.
f. M. Burrows, mail agent, lost in the
storm at Devils Lake, N. D.
Frank Stack OF Chicago, frozen to death
| near Fargo, N. D.
Two unidentified men found frozen to
death near Fargo.
Three missing, lost in the snow near
Fargo.
From the cattle country in the west

OF intense suffering of livestock on thf

Edred- Bfshops Expected to
BE Present I'm London.

London, Nov. 2S.-The Rt. Rev. Or.
Temple, archbishop of Canterbury in an
interview just extended to the Associated
Press on the Pan-Anglican conference
said:
''At present 1 do not know of any
changes that will be made in the pro-
gram for the Lambeth conference In con-
sequence of the death of DR.. Benson. L
have been so overwhelmed with affairs
that have not had time to carefully
consider the matter. Doubtless there
will be some changes that will have to
be made, but nothing material as far as
American bishops are concerned. We ex-
pect at least 200 bishops to be present
and the most important contingent from
abroad will be those from the United
States. In England we always consider
the American bishops, though the Epis-
copalians are not as numerous as some
other Christian bodies in America, to rep
resent the American people. One OF the
topics for discussion is international ar
bitration' and I may say that the bish-
ops of England are profoundly thank
full for the turn that recent political
events have taken. I do hope all of our
brothers in the United States and Canada
who have intimated the probability OF
their coming, will manage to do so and
that those who at present anticipate be-
ing prevented will yet see their way to
visit Lambeth on July 5 next. need
hardly add, perhaps, that the candid an
vitation sent them by the late primate
will be repeated by myself in the fullest
degree"

HOW TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT.
Consul Max Judd Throws in Few
Pointers.

Berlin, Nov. 28-The situation In Aus
tria Is thus summed up by Max Judd,
consul general at Vienna. He says:
mo election since the late civil war
has aroused so much interest in Europe
as this last campaign. Austrian business
men believe Bryans defeat will have
satisfactory effect on international trade
relations. There is no doubt that Bryan's
election would have destroyed in Europe
all confidence in and credit of the United
States as a nation. In Austria especially
people look upon Mckinley as the incar-
nation of protective tariff. They do not
seem to realize that our public men learn
something by experience. AN that is now
necessary to make this splendid victory
complete and lasting Is to have the next
congress meet as soon as possible, re-
deem all our bank notes issued by the ma
tional government, l. e., to take the gov
eminent out of the banking business ne
tirely, and thus reform our mischfevous
form of currency. If this is brought
about, we are not apt to have in the flu
| ture silver agitation"
Trade in France.

noted in Paris on account of the Amer
| lean election were also reported from

| chandise was shipped from that port t.

the election was known. Bordeaux ship

HAWAII AND THE ANNEXATION IDEA
Minister Hatch Declines to Commit
Himself on the Subject.

Washington, Nov 2S.-Francis Hatch,
representative from Hawaii to the United
States, has returned here from Hawaii.
The minister was asked for an interview
on projects of renewal during the incom-
ing administration of steps for the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United States
Hatch declined to talk on the subject, hut
referred his questioner to the following
resolution passed by the legislature of
Hawaii May last:
Resolved, by the senate and house,
that the Legislature of the Hawaiian re-
public continues to be, aus heretofore
firmly and steadfastly in favor of annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian islands to the Unit
ed States, and in advocating such a pol
icy they fell assured they are expressing
not only their own sentiments, but those
of the voters of the republic"
In this connection it will be recalled
that just before the close of the last ad-
ministration Secretary of State Foster
negotiated treaty with the commission
from Hawaii for annexation of that 2oun-
try to the United States. 1t was sent to
the senate by President Harrison, but
was not acted upon during his admins
tration. After President Cleveland came
into office, and before the senate had dis
posed of the treaty, the former withdrew
it. The document not having been rati-
fled by this government nothing was done
by the Hawaiians.
The legislature of Hawaii will not meet
again for some time. 1t is understood,
however, that the president of that coln-
try has power, should he deem it expe-
dent at any time to reopen negotiations
with the United States for a treaty look
ing to annexation.
