THE NORTHWEST STORM.

In Many Places 1t Reaches the Pro-
portions of Al Blizzard.
st. Paul, Nov 22.-The first general
snow storm of the winter has prevailed
throughout the northwest during the
past sc hours, and it still continues
without much abatement. The snow
has been accompanied by high wind,
reaching in many places the proper
tons of a genuine blizzard. The fall
of snow has not been great. but the
wind has drifted it badly and many
places report considerable delay to rail-
road traffic. Specials from various
points in North and South Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Iowa report the storm still prevailing
and local business impeded. In the
British northwest the temperature Is
"a and % degrees below zero. In this
city it has fallen to 10 below. The
storm was especially severe on Lake
Superior, Duluth reporting 20 mile
gale.
An Omaha dispatch says: Nebraska
is in the grip of a norther. For Sc
hours a strong wind from the north
west has swept the state. and during
the most of that time il has driven a
fine snow ahead of it. Considerable
loss of stock. both cattle and sheep, Is
feared. owing to the fact that many
thousands of herds have been brought
in from the south for feeding and have
not yet had time to become sufficiently
acclimated to withstand the stress Of
the storm One death from exposure
is reported F. H. Thompson. Of Des
Moines. Ia. was found dead on the
street in South Omaha about o'clock
last evening.

Day Comes From.
Washington. Nov. 21.-The recent dis
cussion as to the revenue producing
qualities of the present tariff law lends
especial interest to series Of tables
just issued by the treasury bureau OF
statistics, showing the receipts from
various sources by months during a
long term Of years.
An examination of those figures
shows that the customs receipts of the
treasury department now amount to
one-half OF the ordinary expenditures
of the government which is about the
usual proportion allotted to that branch
Of the revenue producing service. The
ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment, aside from those of the post
office department. which Is practically
self sustaining. are usually calculated
at about 100000 per day. and aver
aged during the years 1894 to 1897 $780,
500, 900 per annum. and at about the
same rate in 1898, emitting the Pacific
railroad and extraordinary war eX-
penditures. The general plans of those
charged with the duty of providing the
revenues for the government have con-
templated the production of one-half
Of the necessary expenditures from Gus
toms and the remaining half from in,
ternal revenue and miscellaneous
sources.
The daily statement of receipts and
expenditures issued by the treasury
department shows, that on Nov. II. the
140th day OF the present fiscal year,
the customs receipts had during these
40 days amounted to s73.340. 429. Of
this sum u little over s1,Oo0,0O0 was
from the duty placed upon tea by the
war revenue act.
The receipts from customs during the
past ten years have averaged Sic. 1885,
600 per month. This ten years term
includes the operations of four tariff
lows. The monthly average of receipts
from customs is given in the following
table:

Deputy Surgeon General Smart
Gives Comparative Figures
ON MORTALITY FROM SICKNESS.

In tho War between the States tho
Death List From Disease Far Ex-
cecded That For the Same Period In
the War Against Spain.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Colonel Charles
Smart, deputy surgeon general Of the
army. has sent communication to
Surgeon General Sternberg, comparing
the deaths from sickness in the war
with Spain and In the civil war. He
says in part:
In reply to your inquiry I can very
promptly state that the sickness and
mortality during the war with Spain
was not relatively so great as that
from which our volunteer troops SUI
fered during the civil war;
In April. 1861 President Lincoln
called for 20, 600 volunteers, but 1t was
not until July ~. when his call for
100000 was made. that we, had armies
comparable in size with those recently
in existence. Beginning. then, with
July, 1861. when we had medical re-
ports from regiments aggregating only
69,11S men. and including August, Sep
TENDER. October and November, five
months. we find recorded loss by
death of S.O75 men in the reports sent
In by medical officers from an average
strength present of III, $50 men, or
17.31 deaths out Of every thousand men
during that period of five months.
In April. 1898. President Mckinley
called for 125OOO men, and later for
$4,000, which, with an increase in the
t,,ar,1 ND
other special regiments. made total
Of over 100000 men. Beginning with
May. 1898. for which month we have
medical reports in the office of the sur
geon general of the army from regi-
ments aggregating 151.6S5 men. and In
Guiding June, July. August and Sep
TENDER, five months. we find on file q
loss by death Of only LIS men report
ed by medical officers. in an average
strength of 167. 16S men. or 1881 deaths
out of every thousand men during that
period of five months.
Mortality from disease reached its
maximum in the camps of our civil war
only at the end ten months. If we
count from July. 1861. or at the end OF
u months if we count from May, 1861.
when 1856 men had been buried out
Of every thousand of strength present.
or, to put it otherwise, the maximum
monthly mortality was reached only
after ten or twelve months of suffer
ing, during six of which the mortality
was greater than that OF the disease
which did so much harm in August
last. In that month the country be-
came excited over the hysteric utter
ances of yellow journalism, with 4.oS
deaths per thousand. and the morale OF
the army became broken by making the
volunteer believe that never In the
history OF armies had men suffered
from disease as he and his companions
had suffered. Yet 81 years ago the
flower of the manhood of this country.
after months OF deadly losses. suffered
in April. 1862. more than twice the loss
incurred in August last and instead OF
going home on sick furlough they grid
ed up their loins for the attack on
Richmond by way Of the peninsula"
