New York, Dec. 16-This city and vicin-
lty is to-day in the center of the severest
snow storm of the winter. 1t is accom-
panied by winds of great velocity.
The storm started in the lower Missis-
sippi valley last Monday, switched to the
Atlantic coast over Florida and passed
up the coast, increasing in severity until
early to-day, it reached a climax.
At o'clock this morning the wind had
reached the maximum. 1t was then
blowing at the rate of forty-eight miles
per hour. BY s o'clock. however. the wind
had fallen to thirty-seven miles an hour.
By o'clock nearly five inches of snow
had fallen. The temperature here at s

the next hour it rose one degree.

storm.
Traffic is materially impeded by the
snow fall. but no serious delays have
been reported on any of the railroads. The
wind blew the snow in to great piles on
the sidewalks of the city and it was with

had fallen on the sidewalks and frozen be-
| fore the snow began, made it dangerous
| for pedestrians.
Outside the city the reports at the
weather bureau showed that the wind at
Sandy Hook at o'clock was blowing at

There are 10 steamers now due here from
European ports. This includes nine steam

SHEI<ELS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
The House Devotes Most of the Day
to the Army Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The House to-day
in committee of the whole devoted nearly
all of a four hours session to the army
appropriation bill for the year ending June
30, 1898.
A great portion of the time was spent
in discussing a ruling of the chairman of
the committee Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois,
that an amendment to cut off the Hot
Springs hospital, as recommended by the
surgeon general and Secretary of War,
was out of order, being a change of the
existing law
The discussion was quite interesting,
MessrS Dingley, rep, of Maine; Bailey,
dem, of Texas; Little, dem, of Arkansas
Grow, rep, of Pennsylvania Hull rep,
of Iowa. Lacey, rep, of Iowa; Cannon,
rep, of Illinois, and others participants.
The question was important, as affect
ing the power of the House under the rules
to limit, restrict or define the expenditure
of money carried by an appropriation bill.
On one point the committee-69 to o.
sustained the chairman, but later refused
to sustain him-57 to "a; and the amend
ment cutting out the hospital was agreed
to. In the House Mr.. Little made the
point of no quorum on the vote adopting
the amendment. and none appearing on
the count by the speaker the House, at
4:10 O'Clock, adjourned until tomorrow.
In the morning hour Mr.. Bailey, dem,
of Texas, asked unanimous consent for
consideration of resolution directing the
committee on naval affairs to investigate
the construction of the battleship Texas,
but it was referred to the committee with
out action.

A ball will be given at the Armory hall
tonight by the poor committee Of st.
Johns church, the proceeds of which will
be used for the benefit of the poor. Ad-
mission is only 25 cents, and as the object
is a deserving one the affair should be well
patronlzed.
Sneak thieves are common in the city,
IL the losses reported are the result OF
the depredatlons of anything like the
number of thieves. A Gwinnett street
residence was entered an evening or two
ago, and a cloak. overcoat and school
books were taken from the hall.

STEEL RAIL MAKERS.
Members of the Pool Discussing the
Percentage Question

New York, Dec. 16.-Representatives OF
the leading steel rail manufacturers OF
the country met this morning at the Hol-
land house for the purpose of discussing
matters connected with the steel rail pool.
The meeting to-day was a continuation
of conferences held yesterday. All the
large companies belonging to the pool
We're represented, but those most promi-
nent in the negotiations to-day were Nal
l.. S. Bent of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, w. E. Scranton of the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel COMPANY Robert p Lin
derman of the Bethlehem Iron Company
and Mr.. Stackhouse of the Cambria Iron
Company.
The most important subjects discussed,
1t was said. concerned allotment and Der
centage matters. Some of the interests
represented in the pool have been special
ly dissatisfied with the percentage ar
rangements and asked to-day for a more
liberal basis. A committee was finally
appointed to consider the matter
The question of rates, 1t was further
said had not figured prominently in the
conferences. 1t was also said that al
though most of the manufacturers repre-
sented at to-day's conference are connect
ed with the billet pool nothing concerning
the latter interest has been discussed.
The participants in to-days conference
were very reticent The general state
ment was made, however, that several
propositions are being discussed by the
manufacturers, nearly all of which concern
important matters connected with the
pool, but that the most important of these
referred directly or indirectly to per CEN
tage and distribution matters. Every
body, it was declared, wanted the greatest
possible protection under the least restric.
tive agreement.
