They Cause Deaths and Blockade the
Raiironds,
Denver, Feb 2O.-There was n reign
of terror in the mountains yesterday
Reports from Leadville, Aspen, Ouray
Red Cliff, Telluride and other towns
tell of snow slides by dozens. Huge
volumes of snow tumbled down from
every peak and crag, and those who
had to travel on the mountain trails
were in fear of their lives. j. e. Bell
mail carrier of Ouray, was caught
and killed in big slide at Riverside
and a man at Provo, Utah, was
crushed to death in bed by a mountain
of snow which fell upon his cabin.
Railroad travel was blocked on all
of the lines centering at Leadville
and down in the southern part of the
state the Rio Grande Southern wa.
tied up at different points by snow
West of Leadville travel is reported tc
be impossible. The snow storm OF
Wednesday continued with increased
fury about Leadvllle yesterday, and
the snow on the level would have been
difficult enough to handle, but the pre-
cipitation from the sides of the noun.

with the mass, could not be handled
by snow plows. Had trains been run.

probably have been several bad disas.
ters and fearful loss of life, but as II
was, the roads were all partially tied
up during Wednesday night, and nc
trains We're caught in the slides, SC
far as known.
The fall of snow during Wednesday
and Thursday on the summit of the
range was the heaviest for the same
period of time, known In years, and
il snow slides were rs general yester.
tains as they were about the principal
towns, the loss of life may prove to
have been greater than is suspected
A correspondent of the Republican
who made trip of ten miles UP
Eagle canon, by a high trail, states
that the canon Is a long succession OF
snow slides, and such is probably the
case all through the mountains.
Telegraphic reports received last
night from various points on the Di
vide say that it was still showing hard
last night.
The weather in the mountains yes
terday was as warm as In Denver
and the snow had no chance to hard
en-. The railroad officials are praying
for n little colder weather so that the
snow may freeze and stop the sliding
process. No one was injured in any
of the slides, and only one engine was
caught. That was an engine on the
Midland, but 1t was soon released.

CUBAN CURRENCY.
The Money QurstiOn Nay Play an lmpor
tant Part In tho Rebellion.

tant Part In tho Rebellion.
| Chicago, Feb. 22-A special to the
Record from Havana says:
"There are three kinds of money in
Cuba Gold. which Is ut the natural
premium, and comparatively scarce;
| silver, which is the common currency
and fuctuates with the value of the
bullion, and the Objectionable "bil-
lettes," which are nominally redeema-
Bile at par in silver on demand. At
first the Spanish bank redeemed them
as offered. Then, rs confidence was
shaken. redemptions were limited to
81 900 TO any person in one day. Grad
ually, the limit was reduced until you
cannot get more than 500 in silver at
II time. There is tremendous ana
permanent run on the bank as conse-
quence, and the street upon which 1t
is situated Ia crnmmed night and day
with holders of 'billettes' demanding
silver for their paper. so that business
in that quarter is entirely interrupted.
AT the same time, speculation has been
furious.
"Some days ago General Weyler is
sued an order forbidding further spec
ulahcn in government notes, and the
brokers adopted various methods of
evading the order. Now he has issued
iNiuiiiht
tradesmen and the public generally to
to accept .billettes' mt par. In other
words, he proposes to sustain the cred
it of the government by force. Any
man who refuses to accept the new
money in trade for Its face value Is
threatened with arrest and imprison-
ment for treason. The effect can be I'M
agined. The consequences cannot be
foretold. Just now the entire mercan-
tile and financial community is in a
state of suspense. The wires are laden
with kilograms of protest to the gov
ernment ut Madrid: conferences of
moneyed men are held daily and night
ly. The Spanish residents. who con
troll the capital of the country. suffer
more seriously. and at the same time
are the most loyal supporters of the
government. They dare not revolt
openly for fear of n general revolution
in the larger cities. The ministry at
Madrid may sustain General Wcyler.
If so, there will be crisis more scri-
Gus than has ever vet occurred in Cuba
and the strong undecurrent of disloy-
atty will find some means of expressing
itself, very likely in violence. If Wey-
Ter is not sustained. the credit of the
government will suffer Il severe blow
and the Insurgents will receive more
encouragement than has been enjoyed
by them since the outbreak in 1S95.'

The people of Manchester, Conn, are
taking steps to obtain legislative re-
strictions on the sale of cocaine. The
most prominent citizens of. the town
are mad for the drug. and the habit has
become so widespread that the future
prosperity of the town is seriously
threatened About a year ago local
druggist made a preparation of cocaine
and menthol which could be used as a
SNUFF and was intended as specific for
asthma. The prescription was passed
around, with terrible result. The prep
aration costs so cents an ounce, and
many of the habitues consume as much
as $5 worth in a week.

COULDN'T PASS 1T.
Determined Oppo. tion TO the Arbitration
Treaty.


Washington. ID. C., Feb. 19.-The Sen
ate adjourned at S:3J o'clock tonight
after having spent eight hours In con
tinuous executive session on the arbl-
tration treaty. No result was accom-
plished beyond voting down the motion
made yesterday by Senator Nelson to
postpone further consideration of the
treaty until March ..
Senator Sherman made repeated eff
forts during the day to secure vote on
ratification or to get the Senate to fix
a day and hour when it would agree to
vote upon the treaty. He was defeated
in both purposes, and when the Senate
at last adjourned because of the alb
sence. of quorum, he did not say
whether he would make another effort
tomorrow or again this session to Sc
cure further consideration, but 1t is
generally supposed that he will renew
the motion for an, executive session to-
morrow.
The feeling through the Senate
among the friends. as well as the oppo-
nents, of the treaty, is that any effort
to secure vote will be futile.

| Pierre, s. D.. Feb. 10-An. informal
reception was extended Senator Kyle
this evening in the rooms of the Teton
club. Major Pickler and other Repub-
lichn leaders spoke. all rcpudiating the
idea that there had been any barter
and sale. Senator Kyle was then
called upon and spoke briefly defend
ing his position. He said that for
years he had been n Republican, but
| that he had certain convictions upon
certain economic questions that were
nearly expressed in the Populist plat
form; that the country had spoken
upon the tariff question. and that he
was willing to vote for IL Republican
tariff measure, and that he would in
no way be an obStructionist.
In closing he said he would endeav-
or to vote in the Senate for the best
interests of his Republican constitu-
ents, which confirms the outline Civ
en- last night, that Mr. Kyle would be
to all practical intcnts and purposes II
| Republican in everything but name
The Republicans are satisfied with his
statement. but the Populists are still
unrcconciled. AS n matter of fact. it
is one of the most notable instances of
snatching victory from defeat known
in recent political history.

Greece Appeals to Russia.

London. Feb. 22.-A dispatch to the

national cause of Greece. The king al
so wired the czar, stating that he would
declare war on Turkey and himself

Berlin. Feb. 19.-The newspapers o
this city reflect the bitter resentment
felt by Emperor William at the rejec-

majesty's personal proposal to coerce
Greece by n joint blockade OF the Pira-
eus, the port of Athens, by the fleets OF
the powers in order to check the war

Five well-known young bachelors OF
Shelbyville, Ind, have formed them
selves into a club called The Coming
Benedicts, and have bound themselves
to be married before next Christmas,
registering their oaths to that effect
before a magistrate. They are to
meet for dinner, with their wives, at
a hotel, Dec 25. 1897, and If any one
OF them has failed to keep his pledge
he must come down to the dinner in
charge of the sheriff. bound and
gagged, and must forfeit 500 to each
of the others. The chances are that
the asylums will get the most of them
before the year is out.

Last year was very prosperous one
for Great Britain. In rather inter-
estng address delivered at Bristol on
Thursday, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
the chancellor of the exchequer of the
United Kingdom, said that the pros
perity of the country in 1896 even ex-
ceeded that OF the preceding year, the
value of the imports showing an in
crease of f25,OO0,000, while the exports
increased in value f14 100000. He said
he had reason to anticipate a fair reve-
nue., and declared that the surplus
would be beyond what was generally

A Kansas BIncksmith Invents New Way
of Collecting O.d Debts.

Debt collecting is not an easy process In
Kansas. This fact has long weighed on the
mind OF Mr.. Fred Westhotf. blacksmith OF
Wathena who is obliged to give credit to
the farmers for whom he works. After long
thought he decided 10 try II new method Of
debt collecting, according TO the New York.

TO all his debtors he sent out the follow
ing instructions:
'.As ! have to meet payment OF note l
