Sevsrest Snowstorm of the Winter
Reaches (Lmnx-Anxiety for YES
sells That Are Due.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 16.-This city
and vicinity were to-day the center of the
severest snowstorm of the winter. 1t was
accompanied by winds of great velocity.
The storm started in the Lower Mississippi
Valley last Monday. switched to the At
lantic Coast over Florida and passed up
the coast, increasing IN severity, until early
to-day it reached climax.
At 2 O'Clock this morning the wind had
reached the maximum. 1t was then blow
ing at the rate of forty-eight miles per
hour. By o'clock, however, the wind
had fallen to thirty-seven miles per hour
By O. clock nearly FIVE inches OF snow had
fallen. The temperature here at o'clock
this morning was % degrees. In the next
hour it rose one degree.
The barometer in the Weather Bureau
in this city to-day registered 25.7 inches,
the lowest reported from any of the coast
stations, making this city the center of the
storm.
There are several steamers now due
here from European ports. The list con-
tains the names of nine steamers that are
from two 90 six days overdue, this of
course being attributed to the rough
weather which has prevailed at sea re-
Gently. At Sandy Hook the wind came
from the north-no-theast, blowing forty
mile gale with binding snowstorm.
Three deaths due directly or indirectly
to the storm have been reported.

would be satisfactory to both the people OF
California and himself personally.
Senator Perkins, while especially friend
Iy to the aspirations of Judge Waymire,
conceded that Mr.. Davis, the nominee,
was in every way qualified for any Cabi-
net appointment that President Mckinley
might tender him.
The Oregon delegation was not invited
to meet with the Californians, it being the
understanding that the Oregon men will
urge Representative Hermann for Secre-
tary of the Interior.

1t is understood that Representative

Senator Perkins will on December 80

on the manufacture of beet sugar.
MIR. Rutherford, manager of the Oak

before the Ways and Means Committee on
January 2 to urge an increased tariff duty

timber land operator here, refutes all the
sensational stories hitherto printed about
John Orth in the North American press.
He returned from Buenos Ayres, Argen-
tina, a few days ago, and seeing the
Oregonian paragraph, he expressed de.
sire to correct the statement with refer
ence TO the Princes death.
'Being born in Josephstadt, a suburb
of Vienna where | lived until 90 years of
age" said Mr.. Stengle to a Telegram rep
resentative, II knew the Archduke John
by sight as fami iliarly as did most of my
acquaintances. Even when he was yet a
young man he would walk the streets un-
attended and hobnob with respectable
burghers as if birth had not distinctly re-
moved him from their social realm.
zone evening in the summer of 1895,
while attending the principal theater in
Buenos Ayres, my attention was involun-
farily directed to large ,oge containing
gentleman. While intently gazing at the
gentleman during the entire acts, for no
reason i could at the moment explain, his
face grew, more and more familiar to me.
Before the close of the play felt assured
that he was none other than the oft
reported dead Archduke John of Austria.
My apparent hallucination, however. was
dispelled upon being informed that he was
Signor Won Sterrin, a retired German
capitalist, long a resident of Argentina,
employing his large wealth in the develop
ment OF the country.
''The following day I saw Signor Won
Sterrin on the street, and despite his ad-
vanced years | detected in his walk and
manner John Orth. That evening l again
came across him in the vestibule of my
hotel in conversation with two other gen.
tiemen. On the impulse of the moment
uttered the words:
"rYour Imperial Highness.'
"With start Signor Won Sterrin whirled
about, blushing deep red, and second
thereafter he again was in the thick of the
conversation with his friends"
Mr.. Stengle added that he subsequently
had an introduction to the signor, and
before he left Buenos Ayres for Portland
the signor tacitly admitted to him that he
was John Orth. long dead to the outer
world. Mr.. Stengle was informed that
one of the five ladies he had seen in the
theater loge was the woman for whom the
Prince renounced all possible chances of
becoming Emperor OF Austria.

patch from Palermo says that the former
Cuban flibustering steamer Laurada had
left that port for Gibraltar, where she will
ship cargo and sail for America.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. IL. j. b.
Seward & Co., the charterers OF the steamer
Laurada, are inclined to the belief that
the dispatch this morning from Valencia,
stating that the Laurada had left Palermo
for Gibraltar, and inferentialiy that she
would not attempt landing at Valencia
was inspired by the same person who
caused a cablegram to be sent to Seward
& Co. last Friday, stating that the United
States Government had notified the Con-
sui at Valencia mot to permit the Lau-
rada to enter"
ITO the best of our knowledge and be-
lief the Laurada is still at Palermo wait
ing our ORDERS" said R. A. Tucker of
Seward & Co. "Now, that we have cleared
up the situas;on somewhat through my
call at the State Department yesterday,
we will within day or two decide as to
the future movements of the Laurada
Meanwhile she is lying at anchor in
Palermo"

CAMERoX's REso1Ur1oy.
FGrored by the Senate Committee on For
ei9n Relations.

et9n 1fet0tfonS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16.-The
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
this morning reached no conclusion on
the Cuban question, but the discussion
showed that the Cameron resolution IA
voring the recognition of Cuban indeDen-
dence and offering the friendly offices of
the United States with Spain to bring the
war to close met with the most favor
and may possibly be reported to the Sem
ate in the future.
All the mem bers were present except
Senators Lodge, Daniel and Gray. The
discussion lasted an hour and half and
when the ommittee adjourned it was to
meet in special ses ion Friday morning
next. Senator'S Morgan and Mills advo-
Gated the vigorous resolutions introd uced
by them, but it was apparent that the
committee was not prepared to follow
such radical leaders
The yerbiage in the Cameron resolution
does not appear to be altogether salts
factory, but how best to frame it the COM
mittee was unable to-day to decide. Even
this resolution is fraught with grave re-
suits, for, as one leading member of the
committee said after the committee ad-
iourned, the mere recognition OF the in
dependence Of Cuba means a diplomatic
rupture with Spain. if indeed it does not
lead to more serious consequences.
While a definite conclusion was not
reached, members express the hope that
within few days the committee will be
able to meet on common ground. The
fact that the committee will meet in
special session Friday instead of letting
the matter go over until the regular meet
ing next Wednesday is accepted as a
favorable sign by the friends OF Cuba.
No outsiders were present.
SENATOR Cameron expects to have this
resolution fayorably acted upon by the
committee Friday, and if this is done it
will be called up promptly after the holi-
day recess.

HAVANA, CUBA, Dec. Is (via Key West
Fla, Dec. i6.).-Maceos death is still sur
rounded by mystery, The body is un-
discovered and no further proofs have
been adduced, except the official state
ment which led the Cubans to believe he
is still alive. In fact, the residents OF
Puerta Bravo, in the vicinity of which the
engagement occurred, disbelieve the story
of Maceo's death.
Zertueha continues to give contradic-
tory evidence. He now says the knife
captured belonged to Gomez's son and
not to Maceo. The Cubans consider it
significant that the objects captured, in
Guiding the alleged written statements OF
Gomez's son, are not yet shown. 1t is
also significant that no Cubans have
surrendered since the leaders, alleged
death, proving either that it will not
affect the revolution or that Maceo is not
dead.
Many rumors are afoat in connection
with Maceo's death, ana all are confusing.
One is that major at Cabezas, Matanzas,
telegraphed that Maceo passed near the
town with large force. Many couriers
have been sent to investigate, but have
not returned.
The Cubans disbelieve the story that
Maceo was killed by treachery. They say
Maceo was not easily trapped and would
not accept flag of truce even from Ahu-
tnsda. .asss-
The marine authorities are indignant at
Weyler's statement that Maceo crossed
the trocha in boat, and, it is said, have
cabled to Spain protesting.
The Minister laid the fact before the
Cabinet meeting. The relations of the
naval and military authorities are
strained.
It is said friction has occurred between
Weyler and Civil Governor Porrune on
account of the former not promoting Chief
OF Police La Barrea, who is only major
of the civil guard.
Reports from the field are more meager
every day. The Government is repressing
news of all important engagements. 1t is
said encounters have occurred in Pinar
del Rio and Matanzas, but the details are
withheld.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 16-The Cuban
agitation all through the United States
has become SO acute since the Presidents
message and the death Of Maceo that
Chairman Cragin OF the local Cuban re-
lief committee decided to-day, after con-
ference with his associates. to call gen.
eral meeting of the committee of 100
prominent citizens at the Union League
Club Friday afternoon, to consider the
local state of affairs and prepare for the
contingency of Congressional action in
favor of the Cubans. Cragin estimates the
number of patriotic young men who have
applied for enlistment in the Cuban army
from this city at 500. In the last few days
there has been large increase. The COM
mittee is not receiving any applications,
because the law forbids such enlistments,
but it is well known that there is almost a
daily exodus of men in small bodies so
that no attention has been attracted
Mem bers of the Chicago regiments of the
National Guard are anxious to help the
Cubans as soon as beligerent rights are
accorded.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec 16.-The Even
ing Telegram of this city says to-day !:
Some dozen years or more ago the Arch
duke John, a brother of the Emperor of
Austria, who possessed greater passion
for mingling with the subjects of his i'm.
perial brother than for the strict conven-
tionality of court life, voluntarily surren-
dered his title, estates and future expecta-
tions. This came about by his falling in
love with beautiful actress at the Hof
Theater, at Vienna, whom he resolved to
make his legitimate wife. When this
reached the ears of Emperor Joseph he
grew furious and forbade the Archduke
again appearing in his presence until he
from his mind.
Originally the European press had it
that the citlzenized scion of Imperialism
left his native country as an ordinary
sailor and many other toundationless tales
were printed about him, until two years
ago it was announced in the papers of this
country that the Archduke died some
where in South America. But for the sub
joined paragraph in yesterdays Oregonian
the death of the citizen Prince would be
an accepted fact outside of the small Cir
Gle acquainted with his antecedents:
The Austrian Archduke John, who became
sea-captain, adopting the name John Orth,
and is supposed to have been shot at sea sew
eral years ago, left 1 900 900 francs on derosit
in a bank in Freiburg and another /, ,000,O0O in
