COLD WAVE CONTINUES
It Is General Over the Entire
United States.
A RECORD BREAKER AT CHICAGO.

Monday Has the Distinction Of Being the
Worst Snow Blockade II Dakoso Since
lllssl-Railroad Traffic Dslayed Lake
Erie Frozen Over
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The reports
received by the weather bureau show
the intense cold wave to be general
over the entire United States and there
are no indications of relief within the
next "a hours.
The temperature has fallen decidedly
in the southern and middle Atlantic
states, and it has risen slowly in the
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys
and over the greater portion Of the lake
region. It continues below zero a. far
south as the Ohio valley and it is below
freezing OF the Texas coast and generally
in the interior of the gulf states. The
weather was generally clear last night,
except in the st. Lawrence valley, the
gulf states and central Rocky mountain
districts, where local SHOWS were no
ported.
The indications are that the tempera-
ture will continue low and will rise
slowly in the states of the central and
upper Mississippi valley. It win be
much colder on the southern Atlantic
and east gulf coasts, with freezing
weather in northern Florida. Through
out the Ohio valley and the lake region
the prevailing cold wave has been ac-
companied by lower temperatures than
any previously recorded by the weather
bureau for this season Of the year. Fol-
lowing are some maximum temperatures
reported ON the %, with their relation
to the lowest previously recorded during
the last 10 days of January, viz: Chi
cago, minus 70, s degrees below; Gin
%cinnati, minus 10. 9 degrees below; Pitts
burg, minus S, 3 degrees below; Detroit,
minus IA, 6 degrees below; Sault Ste
Marie, minus IL, 6 degrees below.
Worst Blockade Since 8
HURON, N. D., Jan. 26.-The worst
snow blockade in the history of this por-
ton of the northwest since 1881 now
prevails. Saturdays and Sunday storm
covered this portion of the state between
the Missouri and Sioux rivers and north
into North Dakota. Here the temper
allure registered 20 below zero and
touched 80 in other sections. Fears are
entertained for settlers in the remote
districts, where fuel is scarce. Nothing
can be learned concerning the stock
losses on the ranges for several days,
but it is believed they will be heavy.
The Chicago and Northwestern is open
ing its lines with SNOW plows.; A plow
has been sent west to open the line to
Pierre and relieve the eastbound express
which has been held at Highmore since
Saturday morning. This train has 40
passengers. The Chicago and Milwau-
kee road is completely blockaded here
and the Great Northern will not be open
for several days.

FURRY IN COTTON.
Starts Panic-Stricken and Prices
Bid Up Sharply.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The opening
call of the cotton market was attended
with great excitement. Shorts were
panic-stricken by a large number of
bull orders and sharp advance in LiV-
erpool. Crop news was also decidedly
bullish, too much rain from the Allan
tic states and the Mississippi valley
according to reliable reports, have done
extensive damage, while worms in 9TH
er sections were said to be infesting
the staple greatly to its detriment.
The market opened irregularly with
trades in different parts of the ring
showing a range of 2 to 3 points.
August opened IL points higher, Sep
tebmer IL cents, October % cents and
November 81 cents. The rest of the
list showed an advance of "a to a6
points, the opening range 13 to II
points above Saturdays closing figure
The trading was the heaviest in many
months. Over $4,000 bales changed
hands on the call, and at 80 the
transactions aggregated $4,000 bales
New Orleans and Liverpool sent sell
ing orders early, but became active
buyers as the market increased. Com
mission houses were heavy purchasers
local shorts covered actively. Selling
for profits by timid bulls caused a
reaction of 6 to 9 points Immediately
following the call, and at II 80, after
violent fluctuations, the market was
very feverish at net advance of 20
to 25 points.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23-The pros

the horsemen who had what they
thought were mud horses were hoping
the strong northeast wind and heavy
clouds would bring rain, and plenty of
it. for the rich stake for two-year-olds
in which about $40, 600 would go to the
winner. On the other hand the real
lover of the sport longed for a fine
day and no f1ukes. so that the best
horse might win. It was generally
conceded that Hamburg could easily
beat any of the lot down in the great
est two-year-o1d stake of the year, but
unfortunately Hamburg will not run.

AS to the faVOrite among the betting
men, it looked very much like Gibral-
tar or Rowland, especially as the lat
ter was supposed to have improved
UNNECESSARILY in the last few weeks.
Uriels great speed in the spring was
undoubted, and, although he was not
up to a race, Saratoga did him a good
deal of good, and his trials have been
entirely satisfactory to his trainers,
and then with Sloane up he is sure to
be respected. Cockrobin, the light
weight of the Keene string, is good
just now. and his maiden race was
such a good one that he was in great
favor among those who saw him then.
The Daily trio, Brian Sweet, Grand Sa-
chem and Amazonian, were reported

very doubtful starter. Mr.. Gideon

RACES AT READVILLE.
Slow Track Interfered With the
Days Hig Event

READVILLE, Mass, Aug. 23.-The grand
circuit meet of light harness horses began
on the. Readville track today. The weather
was raw, track heavy and attendance 4.500
1t counted that the 2:GS pace was to be
the best race of the season. Guinette, on
the strength of the Murphy money from
Chicago, was a strong favorite. The after
noon was cold and cherries, and that, with
cuppy track, retarded the horses at least
three seconds. After brilliant dash Bumps
got the pole in the first turn and he and
Guinette raced off in the lead together. At
the distance flag Guinette made a terrific
Bumps when he went to break and
Bumps won. The same two horses raced
off the second heat but, turning into the
stretch. both were beaten by Planet, who
came UP from the rear and outstepped them.
Planet did the same thing in the third heat,
but the judges, and none other, saw the
finish with Heir at Law in the lead. 1t
was quite dark when the fourth heat was

surprise of the tennis tournament, and, in
fact. of the whole tennis season. was the
defeat today Of Larned. the acknowledged
leader of the game in this country by Hugh
A. Nisbet. of England, in the semi-inals of
the all-comers' tournament for the national
championship. With the match well in hand
by two sets to love and with the score five
games to four in his favor, in the third SET
Larned was twice within the one point ne
cessary for the match. In both cases he
drove into the net and at last Nisbet took
the necessary game to make it five. Again
in this set Larned was within two points of
winning the match, but could not quite reach
It. The weather conditions today were dis
tinctly English, for a misty northeaster blew
over the courts previous to the match and
made the turf slippery and uncertain.
