STORMS ALI. OVER THE COUNTRY

Accompanied by Very Cold Weather
in the Northwest.
CHICAGO March 3.-Forecast Officer
Henry ]. Cox said today: "There are three
storm centers in the country this morning,
one off the Massachusetts coast, another over
northern California and a third over the
western gulf coast In connection with the
southern storm, rain is now falling in Okla
homa, Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas, turn
ing to snow in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas and west
ern Illinois. The weather continues very
cold in the extreme northwest, the tempera-
tu-e having fallen still further in the Rocky
mountain region in the last twenty-four
hours. At Havre, Mont, the temperature is
32 degrees below zero and IS degrees below
at Helena, also is degrees below at Lander
Wyo. There is a prospect of very cold
weather in the western states for several
days. ...,....
Topeka, March "a blizzard has been
sweeping over Kansas for six hours. On
the Rock Islands Colorado lines twelve
inches of snow are reported and the storm
is moving east at the rate of forty miles
an hour. Stockmen say the storm will be
severe on cattle on the plains and grave
apprehensions are felt for the fruit crop.
SAN FRANCISCO March 3.-Fruit grow
ers are much concerned over the storm which
began yesterday and was general throughout
the state. For the first time in ten years
snow fell in this city. while flurries are re-
ported from various points along the coast.
The snow melted as rapidly as it fell in
this city, but the storm created as much
excitement as a blizzard would in the east
from the fact that snow storm is of such
rare occurrence. Thus far it is not believed
that the frdit crop has been materially in
jure1, but much apprehension is felt, as the
trees are in blossom and frost at this time
would do great damage. The snow storm
was accompanied by high winds, which did
considerable damage to shipping on the bay.

WORKING CRETE GOLD FIELDS
Syndicate OF Business Men Formed

CRETE. Neb., March 3.-(Speclal)-The
gold prospectorn here are by no means ilde.
There was general dissatisfaction with the
result of the last washing of sand off the
Norris farm. Last week 4 syndicate of five
prominent business men was formed for the
purpose of thoroughly testing the sand from
the Norris farm. The suice boxe, were i'm
proved by inserting copper plates in each
box, covered by quicksilver. Quicksilver was
also placed under all rifles in the boxes.
Five loads, carefully measured and weighed,
were hauled to the sluices. These five leads
contained exactly five tons of sand. The
washing was done very slowly and the
sults Of the cleanup are anxiously awaited.
From all indications the result will far ex-
coed that Of the last experiment Should Il;
be satisfactory actual work to sluice the
entire deposit of sand will at once be COM
menced. The result OF the cleanup is now
in possession of Prof. Hosford Of Doane col

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 16.-The
government of Nicaragua today sent to SAL
vador a commission consisting of minister
plenipotentiary, Hon. NJ. c. Matus; secre-
tary Of legation, Senor Evaristo C.saro, and
an engineer, as an attache of the legation,
Mr.. William Cline. This committee will be
met by a similar committee from the re-
public of Costa Rica and the two bodies will
submit TO the government of Salvador, which
has been chosen as arbitrator, the long
standing dispute about the boundary between
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which has fire.
quently threatened to plunge the two coun-
tries into war
This matter was submitted to the arbitra-
ton of President Cleveland during his first
term and he settled upon the general local
tiles of the boundary between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua. But II was considered here
that President Cleveland had decided some
what heavily against Nicaragua. probably
through the imperfect presentation Of the
case for this republic, large district Of
Nicaraguas original territory having been
assigned to Costa Rica.
The boundary, however, has never been
correctly determined by the engineers from
the two countries, as directed by the arbi-
traitor, although the work was commenced
after President Clevelands decision was pub
lished But disputes arose as to the proper
near the Pacific, and Nicaragua withdrew
her engineers In spite Of this the Costa
Rican engineers continued their work and
that republic claims to have determined and
marked out the boundary from ocean to
ocean according to the decision of President
Cleveland. Nicaragua will not admit this
and war has been threatened on both sides
frequently since the announcement was
adopted.

recently appeared to be serious diplomatic
question, was arranged yesterday. in so far as
it has been placed in a fair state for early
settlement. 1t is probable that Mr.. Schultze
will be given in full satisfaction of his claim
titles to two placer mines, one of them prob
ably over mile long, to which he appears
to have a clear right by discovery and occu-
patton for over one year.
