ARBITRATION TREATY UP.
No Conclusion Reached by the Sem

No Conclusion Reached by the Sem
ate Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The SEN
ate committee on foreign relations was
in session today considering the arbi-
tration treaty. Two members Of the
committee, Gray and Mills were not
present The question of amendments
to the treaty consumed most of the
time. The committee adjourned at
IL 80 p. m, after an hours session to
meet again Monday Chairman Davis
would make no announcement concern
ing the days work, beyond the fact
that no conclusion was reached.
1t Is the expectation of a majority Of
the committee that they will be able
to conclude their work on the treaty
on Monday and that they will be able
to report to the senate at the first ex-
ecutive session after that date. The
retirement Of Senator Cameron reduced
the opposition In the committee to two
members. Messrs. Morgan and Daniel,
who today manifested just as strong
feeling on the subject as they had
formerly displayed, and while they
did not indicate an intention to delay
a report for the senate for any great
length of time, they made 1t quite clear
that they would continue their oppo-
sitton when the treaty had been taken
UP in the senate.
1t was stated In the committee that
the present administration was just as
anxious as it's predecessor ztos secure
the ratification of the treaty, and to
secure 1t promptly. 1t is understood
that the treaty will not be reported
without amendments, but the members
of the committee refuse to diyulge the
character of the amendments which
will be made.

Rid ON HAVANH SUBURB.
Hamlet on the Military Turnpike Near the City Looted
by the INSURGENTS

The troops in this, seeing the burning
buildings, rushed out, leaving only
small guard behind. The insurgents,
perceiving this managed to break in
the block house door and in ten min
utes were in full possession. Knowing
that they could not retain Them they
looted the building Of all equipments
that would be valuable to them, con-
si6ting of two stands IF arms and con-
Siderable ammunition. They spiked the
small field pieces, setting fire 10 the
house inside, and dashed off rapidly.
The Spanish pursued them, but came
back two hours later, and reported that
the rebels could not be found. The only
report made in Havana regarding this
engagement was that a force II rebels
had been dispersed, but the main facts
are now known all over the town.

HURON, s. D.. March 12-Because Of
the severe wind and drifting snow,
nothing has been done today toward
raising the snow blockade, resulting
from yesterdays storm, which to the
railroads was the worst ever expert
enced in the state. All lines are closed,
the tracks in many places being ten or
fifteen feet under snow, with drifts
several miles long. 1t was 10 degrees
below zero here this morning. If the
cold continues suffering will result
where fuel and feed for stock are
scarce. Seeding will be three weeks
later than usual in nearly all the state
east of Missouri river because of the
deep snow, which is from four to five
feet on the level.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. d. March 1.-THE first
eastern train for a week arrived Wednes
day but the road is again blocked by the
present storm, and it will be at least several
days before the blockade is raised. The snow
banks along the railroad tracks are so high
that the slightest breeze fills the passage
through them with; snow. The present storm
is severe on cattle in sections not in a condl-
ton to withstand a storm.
VERMILLION, S. D., March Ex-senator
Gunderson has returned from Pierre. He
says that no person. has any idea of the
amount of snow that lies in certain portions
Of the state Until recently there has not
been much difficulty in finding feed for the
stock but now everything IS eaten up and
there is no possible way OF either taking the
stock to another place where feed might be
found or to bring feed in to the range. The
cattle and sheep are beginning TO starve to
death IN great numbers. One man who had
5000 sheep a short time ago now has but
500 left. There is no doubt there Will be
terrible mortality during the next SIX weeks
by starvation. Several of the senator's party,
including the governors wife, are still showed
in at Wolsey.
ISHPEMING Mich. March 12.-The worst
storm in five years Is raging in the upper
peninsula. Freight trains are blockaded on
both the, South Shore and Chicago & North
road has been stuck in drift at the Buffalo
mine. Fifty men are now at work clearing
the track but if the storm does not soon
abate 1t is likely that the train will not
be moved today. All passenger trains On this
end Of the road are tied ;up on account of
freight trains on the western end OF the South
Shore between Nestorias and Duluth, are
tied up and will not be moved until the storm
is over.
In some places the snowis from six to ten
feet in depth. with drifts rapidly growing
tween Marquette and Duluth started out on
time with double-headers.
Hudson, WIS, special says: All trains

HALF-MiLLI0N FIRE.
Groceries and Spices Destroyed by a
Chicago Blaze,

CHICAGO. March IA fire broke out this
evening in the building occupied by the John
A. TOlman company, wholesale grocers at
the corner of Michigan avenue and Lake
street, and, driven by a strong northwest
wind, spread to the upper stories Of
the building at 10, II and IA Lake street. oc-
cupied by Chase & Sanborns coffee and spice
house. When the firemen arrived flames had
spread throughout the entire upper part Of
the building in which it had started and was
rapidly eating its way to the southwark
Second and third alarms were at one turned
in, which were supplemented by a special
call for ten engines, but despite the efforts
OF the fremen the flames spread rapidly for
a time On the Michigan avenue side the
fremen were badly handicapped by the loss
Of the water tower, which fell into the flames
on account of some accident to the steering
apparatus. On the opposite side of the ave
nue. the buildings occupied by Bell Conrad
& Co. and the Thomson & Taylor Spice COM
pany caught fire several times, but were not
seriously damaged.
At one time during the fire explosions Of
canned goods caused considerable excitement
and gave rise to the rumor that quantities of
fireworks were stored in the buildings After
three hours hard work the fire was under
control. The loss of the Tolman company
will probably be SITS, 000 and that of Chase &.
Sanborn 100000. Both firms are fully in
sured.

Of the administration was to send

Washington as commissioners to pave
the way for reciprocity. Their mission
has proven fruitless one, because
they desired to open the markets of

Canada In their interviews with
Chairman Dingley and other members
OF the committee, they were told in
diplomatic terms, but emphatically
that the design of the new tariff bill
would be to preserve the markets Of
the United States to it's farmers and
adequate protective duties on all farm
products

NEW YORK, March Ex-senator Pettlgrew
Of South Dakota, in an interview here today
said: THE five silver Republicans, Senators
Mantle, Jones, Canton, Teller and myself
will not do anything to delay or hinder the
adoption of protective tariff. There are a
number of Democrats who will be just as
Consderate. If there is an attempt to reor-
ganize the senate we may be in session all
summer, and If there is a serious effort to
seat the three new senators that have been
appointed, a great breach will be opened
and the tariff and everything else will be lost

FISHERMEN IN PERIL.

Five Carried Away on n Saginaw
Bay Ice FIoe.
SEBEWAING, Mich. March 12.-Heavy wind
today broke up the ice on Saginaw bay. One
hundred and fifty fishermen, Of whom about
fifty are from Bay City, were on the ice
about four miles from shore. Mostly all es-
capped to Maison and Lone Tree islands 1t
is reported that five men from Bay City are
on the ice yet, and have been carried out
with the foe. The wind has shifted to the
northwest, and will probably bring the ice
back. 1t is very cold. About twenty shan
ties were carried out from the settlement
near here. Last year about forty men were
carried out, but we're rescued by boats after
being on the ice two days.

TREATY
1t Is the Purpose of Secretary Sher-

man to Revive 1t.
CHICAGO, March 12-The Posts
Washington special says: Secretary of
State Sherman is said to be contem-
plating negotiations for a treaty with
the five states composing the Greater
Central American Republic, along the
lines of the celebrated Frelinghuysen-
Zevala treaty, which in effect estab-
lished an American protectorate over
Nicaragua and committed the govern
ment to the construction Of the water
way. This treaty was pending when
Mr.. Cleveland went into the White
house twelve years ago. About the first
thing the latter did was to withdraw
the agreement between the two coun-
tries, his ground for so doing being
that the treaty, if carried into effect,
would be a perpetual menace to the
notions peace, and would provoke end
less complications with other countries
1t is now said to be Secretary Sher-
mans purpose to resurrect the F'rel-
inghuysen-Zavala treaty and frame a
new agreement embOdying many of
it's salient features.

Rising.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 1.-THE river to-
night is nearly stationary at 34.S feet At
7 o'clock this morning it had reached a
height OF 34.7 feet, rise of seven-tenths Of
foot within the past twenty-four hours
This, considering the great height already
reached and the wide expanse which the river
must cover, is an unusual increase. The
fact that fall has begun at Cairo indicates
that the crest Of the flood has been reached
At Helena, Ark, the water is six feet above
the danger stage.
