The tendency Of the times is toward |

in recent years the increase OF wealth

Worst Snow Drifts South Dakota Ever
Experienced.
The blizzard which began Saturday night
ragged with unabated fury in South Dakota
last night. Only one railroad Is reported
to have moved a train in South Dakota yes
terday, and this was the local on the Chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul between
Yankton and Sioux City. All other trains
were abandoned.
The storm Is the worst that has ever
been known In South Dakota for drifting
snow, but not so binding or cold as the
great storm of 1888, when more than q
hundred persons were frozen to death. No
casualties Of this nature have yet been re-
ported, although a great deal Of stock is
known to have perished.
The meeting of the state legislature,
which was to begin at Pierre today, and
the banquet to Gov. Lee, which was to fol-
low, will lie postponed. as about eighty of
the one hundred and twenty-six members
of the legislature are snow-bound, and
some Of them will not reach the capital for
several days.
Iowa is in the grasp of a blizzard. The
temperature Is falling and the loose snow
is drifting. and threatens to interfere with
railway travel. Owing to the sleet many
telegraph and telephone wires are DOWN.
Up to midnight there was little abate-
ragged In Nebraska sixty hours. The snow
ceased falling, but the wind still blew a
gale and the temperature was very low
Trains on the Union Pacific, Burlington,
Elkhorn and Rock Island roads moved

state being such that the road could not be
opened while the storm ragged. So far
there has beel no loss of life reported.

A JAPANESE TREATY.

Negotiations Concluded Between Mr..
Oiney and the Japanese Minister.
Negotiations have been concluded between
the Secretary of State and the Japanese
minister here which contemplate giving
Immediate effect to article 16 of the treaty
between the United States and Japan con-
cluded in 1894. to become operative in 1S.s0
This treaty is similar in it's terms with
treaties recently concluded by Japan with
all European countries except Spain and
Portugal. They were all to take effect five
years from date of signing. but most of the
governments affected are arranging for i'm
mediate enforcement OF article 49, which
provides that the citizens or subjects of
each nation shall enjoHtin the territory Of
the other the same rights and protection as
native citizens or subjects in regard to pat
ents. trademarks and, designs upon fulfill
ment OF the usual legal requirements. AS
has been already stated in The Star, the
most important provision Of the treaty as
whole, which, unless an earlier ratification
is made, will not become operative for two
years. is that which opens the empire of
Japan to citizens of the, United States for
travel. residence and business and manu-
featuring purposes on the same footing as
the Japanese. except that land must be
leased, and cannot be purchased. and makes
the inhabitants of either nation amenable
to the laws of the country In which they
happen to be.

Partment on the Subject.
The friends OF the American newspaper

dangerously i'll in a Spanish prison in
Cuba, have taken measures to clear away
misunderstanding that exists as to his
identity. 1t has been asserted by the
Spaniards that this Delgado is the noted
Cuban leader, Ricardo Delgado. Today the

the State Department an affidavit by Ma
rina Elena Delgado Green Of New York,
asserting that Harry Delgado is an Ameri-
can citizen, born in Brooklyn in 1855, and
adopted by her father, Jose Delgado. Ac-
cording to the affiant, Harry has lived in
the United States most of his life and
went to Cuba to act as correspondent for
the New York Mail and Express, q mem
Der of the Associated Press. He was i'll
when he landed In Cuba and went directly
into the hospital. where he was arrested.
Further, the af1iant says that Ricardo Del

A PRESENT FOR THE SULTAN.
A Figure of a Sioux Chief Arrayed

Oh u S1Oux Chief AFF0yed

Skilled workmen at the National Museum
have recently completed magnificent life
size figure of Sioux chief in full regalia
1t is to be sent as a present from the
Smithsonian Institution TO the Sultan OF
Turkey. Orders were given this morning
to have the figure carefully packed and
boxed. and it will be forwarded to Con-
stantinople without further delay.
When Secretary Langley of the Smith.

the summer of 1895 he was accompanied by

these courtesies should be reciprocated, and
Secretary Langley came to the conclusion
that there could be no more appropriate te
gift than one that would be typical of the
aboriginal life of this country. Orders
were therefore given to construct the fig
IRE Of Sioux chief. and this, after long
care and study, has just been completed
1t Is like number of other such figures
that have been on exhibition at the mu-
scum. with which Washington people are
SO familiar, but 1t will doubtless be of par

his costume decorated with profusion of
bead work. In his right hand he holds a

1t is understood that the sultan's present in
return is to be magnificent set of mediae-

is unique and handsome gift, its actual
cost in money is small when compared to
what the ruler of Turkey has done for the
museum.
