Omaha. Jan. S.-Nebraska is just now
enjoying an old-fashioned blizzard, the
most serious one of the winter.
New Years day was spring-like and
mild. but on Friday night the tempera-
ture began to fall, and the mercury
has continued its descent since.
Last evening, a snow storm set in,
which is general throughout the state,
and which is still falling tonight. High
winds are drifting the snow, and if
they continue through the night may
make the situation on the plains alarm
ing.
Omaha seems, so far, to have es-
capped the worst OF the storm, but the
trains entering the city during the day
were all somewhat late. The street
car lines are badly crippled, and ii is
necessitating the use OF extra forces
OF employees with snow plows and
sweepers to keep the lines open so that
occasional cars may be run
At 10 o'clock tonight, the thermome-
ter at the local weather bureau regis
tered degrees above zero, and the
chances are that the temperature will
fail several points below the zero
mark before daylight. On the level
tracks in the western and central por-
lions OF the state, where the wind has
full sweep. it is much colder, and Seri-
Gus suffering is sure TO result.
While the farmers have everything
in fair shape for severe weather, the
storm VIII. beyond doubt, reach much
of the stock on the ranges, and losses
viii be heavy.
From every section of the state come
reports of heavy wind, driving the
snow in binding clouds before it, so
that it is dangerous for any one to
venture out.
At Meadow Grove, the storm began
about midnight Saturday night, and a
blizzard has been raging ever since
with no signs OF abatement. Drifts
are over ten feet high, and traffic is
becoming blocked.
Hardy reports is hours of continuous
snow and wind, and serious drifting.
From that place and Central City come
stories of a like nature, with high
drifts and falling temperature as the
night approached. the storm seeming
10 increase in violence with every pros
pect of its continuing for many hours.
There is much stock being cared for
On the ranges in Nebraska, and it Will

VERY SERIOUS.
Rainstorm in Illinois Floods Many
Easements.

Chicago, Jan. 3-The rain storm
which has prevailed over Chicago and
northern Illinois uninterruptedly for
three days, has been the most serious
experienced in this locality for two
years. The observations taken at the
weather bureau in this city tonight
showed that the rain fall was 21a inches
since the beginning of the storm early
New Years morning. The tempera-
ture has fallen 20 degrees in this city
during the last eight hours and at II
o'clock tonight the rain turned to snow.
1t is not expected by the weather
bureau that the thermometer will reach
the zero mark, although they predict
a temperature considerably below
freezing before tomorrow evening.
In Chicago, considerable damage was
done by the downpour of rain, especi-
ally in the suburbs, where the sewers
were insufficient to carry away the
volume of water. Reports of flooded
Easements from the southern and west
ern portions of the city were numerous,
while at Grand Crossing and nearby
suburbs the streets were inundated and
the damage heavy. In low places il
is impossible for pedestrians to move
without wading in deep water and
boats were brought into use. AT Aus
tin and Oak park on the west side the
conditions We're annoying. Easements
are flooded with several feet of water,
and furnace fires in many localities
were extinguished. The pumping
works at Bridgeport are being oper
ated with great difficulty. 1t was
thought al one time this evening that
the pumps would have to be shut
down on account Of the rapidly ac-
cumulating water, but the flood gates
were resorted to and the water sent
on its journey down the canal. The
rain continued steadily all day. and at
times the precipitation was in the ma
ture of a cloudburSt. The downtown
streets were deserted, and the con-
tinuous shows and other resorts lacked
patrons.
A concrete sidewalk surrounding the
Lincoln bank at Michigan avenue and
Clark streets collapsed during the
afternoon as the result of rain. c. 3.
Roser. a barber of RaVenswoOd, was
the only person in front of the build
ing at the time. He was precipitat ted
to the basement, a distance of several
feet, but rescued from his impromotu
bath uninjured. a fence was hastily
erected about the opening. \ number
OF cedar block DavementS in various
parts of the city were also more or
less damaged by the water. In many
instances. the blocks have been fioated
out of position by the wafer and the
street left in an impossible condition.
Nearly ali the large catch basins along
West Madison street, Michigan avenue.
Wells street and North avenue were
stopped UP, and as a result large
ponds of water filled the sides of the
streets. Many easements were flooded
along West Madison street, and much
damage done to the occupants.

JAPAN'S LATE BU0M.
1T ENDED AS ALL OTHERS HAVE
DONE.
For the Last Two Months There Has
Been Almost a Panic in Japanese
Financial Circles, But the Worst
Is Now Over.

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-W. R. Towns
end. the special agent recently dispatched
to Japan by the San Francisco bureau Of
foreign commerce. for the purpose of
collecting data with reference to matters
affecting the interests of American manu-
facturerS, has submitted his first report.
He states that during the past two
months there has been almost a panic
in Japanese financial circles, but the
worst is now considered over After the
war with China, speculation was ramp
ant. Thousands of stock companies We're
foated and the shares doomed. Every
body invested, but the collapse soon came.
The native banks have shut down indiS-
criminately of late and merchantS were
allowed no accommodations: Heavy
stocks of merchandise were thus fhrown
bacl. upon the market and warehouses
are crowded. Over 10 per cent of the i'm
port business of Japan is controlled by
foreign hOuseS-a loss of 3 per cent
within three years. Very little credit is
allowed. by importers. FreiGhts from
England and continental Europe are
lower than from America, consequently
tie bulk of the business is done with
English. French and German houses
While there is a temporary stringency
in the money market. there is no dis
position to handicap industrial progress.
The railway congress, which opened Dec.
a. will probably remain in session for
two months. Already 100 applications for
charters for new railroads have been
filed and ii is stated that over 40 Will be
granted During the first week in Decem-
Der. contracts were made for Is Amer
lean locomotives. Hitherto English
rolling stock has been used exclusively.
Americans will shortly be granted the
privilege of filing applications for trade
marks and patents. although but little
protection is promised in regard to the
latter.

Remusat, moderate Republican, de-
feated NJ. ConstanS in Haure Garonne
on the third ballot. The vote stood
514 to 437, giving Count De Remusat
majority OF Il. The moderate Repub
liCans claim that the defeat of NJ.
COnstans, who is a Republican, is
great victory for them.
The senate is composed of 500 mem
bers, of whom one-fourth We're orig
inally elected by the national assembly
for life-vacancies in this rank being
filled by the senate itself. Since 1884,
however, no new life senators have
been elected, the distinction being abol
ished for all except the survivors of pre-
vious elections. Subject to the grad
ual absorption of the remaining life
senatorships. the entire body of the
second chamber is renewed by two
thirds every three years, so that the
senatorial mandate extends for nine
years in each case. The qualification
for senator is that the candidate shall
be of French nationality. not under 40
years of age, and in full enjoyment
of his civil and political rights; but
members of families which have fur
niShed occupants for the throne and
generals and admirals on active serv
ice, are especially disqualified The
salary of a senator is $1,000 900 francs
a year.
senatorial electors, IN the SeNerdi
constituent departments, are of three
categories: ID communal and NUM-
cipal delegates, elected by a majority
of each commune or municipality, one
or more delegates for every local rep
resentative body, according to popula-
ton: 90 all the members of the coun
Gil general and district council; 60 the
deputies in each department. Two
months after the election of the dele
gates the whole electoral college pro-
ceeds to nominate one-third of the
total number of senators voted to the
department. By an act of the as
sembly in 1884 there was a re-distri-
button of seats, according to which 80
senators were assigned to Paris and
numbers varying from 20 downward to
other cities and large towns. Senator
substitutes (supplants) are elected at
the same time in case the senator
should decline or be unable to accept
his mandate.

INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
Commission Appointed in 1890 viii
Soon Make It's Report.

New York, Jan. A Herald Wash
ington special says:
The international railway commits
sion appointed in 1890 to select a route
for a railway line connecting the Unit
ed States with the republics of Central
and South America, is now preparing
its final report to the governments in
terested.
A preliminary report was submitted
three years ago, but the data then at
hand was insufficient and did not ade-
quately describe the details of the
proposed enterprise. The final report
will show the entire practica bility of
by all the governments south of the
United States in the proposed railway.
Several of the governments have al
ready adopted the route laid down by
engineers appointed by the commission
to make the survey, and Guatemala is
engaged in carrying out the recon-
mendations of the commission.
The report will be made by represen-
tatives of the United States, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Para
quay.
The United States is connected with
the Mexican system on the Texas
frontier The railway line in Mexico
extends to the Guatemalan frontier,
where the commission commenced its
survey work Salvador, HoIsluras
Nicaragua. Costa Rica, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru and Chile, when it con-
verges to the east.
A small portion of the line is already
built. and several of the governments
are making concessions to private en-
terprises to extend the rail commu-
nication. The commission will esti-
mate in its report that about $500
miles of railroad will have to be con-
structed. Only a few hundred miles
will have to be built by the Chilean
government in order to connect a term
mus of her system with the proposed
line.
Some trouble is being experienced
in estimating the total cost of the line
on account of the fact that in some
sections the cost will be $4,000 per mile
and in others it will reach 500, 600. One
of the engineers has estimated the
cost of the line across Ecuador at
more than $1S,000.0 00 and the estimate
for Peru is about $40, 100000.

IMPRESSION CREATED AT NEW
ORLEANS YESTERDAY.
A Remarkable Celestial Phenome-
non Which Frightened People-It
Was Followed by a Fierce Gale.

New Orleans, Jan. 3.-An extraOrdin-
airy celestial phenomenon was visible
here about o'clock this morning.
Thick. heavy clouds were rolling and
suddenly the sky was overcast with a
peculiar pinkness and the rays re-
fected gave the earth the appearance
of being on fire. The remarkable dis
play lasted perhaps ten minutes. but
it was startling during its brief eX-
istence. The weather bureau explains
that it was the suns rays reflected
through a certain cloud. 1t was fol-
lowed by a fierce gale along the lake
front. Persons residing at West End
declare that in II years they have not
witnessed such a storm. The people
there were much frightened. The
waters Of Lake Ponchartrain were
driven in and Overflowed Spanish Fort
and all the roads leading from the
city to the lake, in some places reach
ing a depth of three feet. Nothing
has been heard from Vaudeville and
places on the other side of the lake.
