CALLED INFAMOUS LIAR,
DR.. Barth, Leader of the Radical
Party, Causes Trouble in
the ReichStag.
Declared That American Gold Had
Been Used in the Bimetallic
Agitation.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Jan. 23.-Tn the
Reichstag to-day DR.. Barth, leader of the
Radical Unionist party, asked Chancellor
Won Hohenlohe what had been done with
the resolution in favor of bimetallism that
had been introduced during the last ses-
sion OF the Reichstag. The Chancellor
replied that he was not able yet to make
any statement to the Chamber concerning
the resolution.
DR.. Barth then declared that the BIZ
metallic agitation has been fomented out
side OF Germany, adding that perhaps
American gold had assisted the agitation.
Herr Won Kardoff, the German cham
pi ion of bimetallism and leader of the
agrarian party. challenged the production
of proof that any one of the German bi.
metallists had been paid to represent
American interests and declared that DR.
Barth was an infamous liar.
DR.. Barth sprang from his seat and hotly
declared that such remark was an infamy
and an outrage on debate.
The president of the Chamber called DR.
Barth to order, stating that he had moi
heard the remark imputed to Herr yor
Kardoff.

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT,
Representative Barham Deeply
Interested in Streams OF
the State.
Provisions of Bill Which Will Not
Conflict With Johnson's
Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-Repre-
sentative Barham said to THE CALL CORE
spondent to-night: Representative John
sons river bill is an excellent measure. 1t
does not go quite as far as 1 should like,
however, to i'm prove navigation in my dis
tIict and in some other parts of California.
Therefore l had talk with Johnson, and
as result have prepared bill which will
in no wise conflict with his measure, but
will be more satisfactory to my own con-
stituentS.
SIT provides for the creation of board,
to be known as the California Commission
(instead of the Sacramento River Commits
sion, as in Johnson's bilD. 1t Is to consist
of three members, to be appointed from
the corps of army engineers by the Presi-
dent, to hold Office four years. They shall
organize within thirty days after appoint
ment. No additional compensation is to
be allowed the engineers. Their office
shall be in Sacramento. 1t shall be the
duty of the commission to prepare and
adopt such plan or plans from examina-
tions and surveys already made and from
such additional examinations and surveys
as it may consider proper or necessary, as
will improve the navigability of all water
ways in the State of California and
deepen, straighten and dredge their chan
nels. The commission shall cause the
channels of said waterways to be cleared
and improved by removing sandbars, mud,
debris, and other distractions to naviga-
ton by the use of clamshell or other suit
able dredger. They shall remove all snags
and other distractions from said water
ways and all trees standing on banks
thereof from the head of navigation of
such waterways to the mouths thereof,
that may be liable to fall into the same.
"They shall close up breaks or crevasses
which allow water to escape to the injury
of the navigability of such waterways.
They shall also build and erect other
structures or use any other means that
Will improve the navigability of such
waterways and prevent injury thereto
from debris, washings from mines or
otherwise, and they are hereby authorized
TO enter into such contracts for such ma
terials and work as may be necessary to
complete any plan or project that may be
adopted or approved of by said commits
sion for the improvement of said wafer
ways, to be paid for as appropriations
may from time to time be made by law,
not to exceed in the aggregate $500, 900, ex-
elusive of the amount herein and hereto
fore appropriated.
"Said commission shall take such means
and shall build, construct or preserve such
works as may be necessary to make nav
igable all of said waterways. They may
consult with the Governor and Commits
sioner of Public Works of California and
| may use in and about the works construct
ed by said commission any sum of money
appropriated by the State of California
and placed at their disposal by said Gov
ernor and Commissioner of Public Works. ~

CHICAGO WAS CUT OFF.
Residents of the Lake City Suf-
fered Severely During
the Storm.
For a Time Ice and Snow Blocked
Telegraphic Wires in Many
Directions.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Jan. 23.-For a while
this morning Chicago was completely cut
off from telegraphic communication with
other parts OF the country. A storm of
sleet and rain, which froze as it fell, began
early last night and continued all night.
By morning wires were down in all direc-
tions. East, south and southwest the
wreck of wires was particularly bad. To
the north the wires were open only as far
as Milwaukee.
A number of small accidents, due to the
condition of the streets, have been re-
ported, but few of them have been serious.
The worst so far was railroad collision.
The eastbound mail train on the Lake
Shore was unable to stop at a crossing
near Sixteenth street and crashed into an
Erie freight train. No one was hurt, but
considerable damage was done to prop
erty. As telegraphic communication with
various places is resumed it was found
that the storm was very violent through
out this part of the country.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
reported the wires blockaded in nearly all
directions on account of the rain freezing
on the wires, in many cases breaking them
by the burden of ice. The Postal Tele-
graph Company reported trouble in less
degree from the same cause. At 80
A. NJ. their wires were reopened to New
York and communication with the East in
general was comparatively free. Warmer
rain and winds raised the blockade, which
was heaviest at 4 A. NJ.
Lines between Chicago. st. Louis, Pitts
burg and New York were down and South
western communication was almost COM
pletely cut off until nearly noon. The same
trouble extended west to Omaha, and was
not much improved by night on account
OF colder temperature. In this city pc
destrians experienced much trouble and
danger to life and limb ON account of ice
covered sidewalks and streets. The Metro
politan Elevated Railroad, which is ope-
rated by the third-rail system of electricity,
was seriously crippled all day. Clearing
weather is predicted with fall to Is de-
grees by tomorrow.

The railroad line to Matanzas is closed
and the line between Havana and Bata-
bano, thirty-five miles southwest of the
capital, is operated only twice week. The
stations along the line are still fortified.

ations.
