NEW YORK SUFFERS.

Snowfall of a Foot Accompanied by .
sixty-NIile Wind.
New YORK, Nov. 29.-The blizzard of
Saturday and Sunday has transformed
the city into spectacle of glistening
white of surprising beauty, the peculiar
ity Of the storm being the encrusting of
every window, sides Of buildings and
trees with snow and ice. Nearly foot
of snow fell during the storm and for
time the wind blew at the rate Of IS to
60 miles an hour. Suburban traffic was
blocked for several hours in the morn
ing and after that trains ran at long in
tervals. All trains were delayed. The
terrific blow Of Saturday night did much
damage to the small shipping in New
York harbor. It is reported that several
tug boats belonging to the Kingston
Towing company, together with a large
number of canal boats were sunk up the
river by the force of the gale. The
shores of the Hudson are Uttered with
wreckage.

CHARLES w. COuldOck Made His Debut
Sixty-one Years Ago.
NEW YORK, Nov. s9--Charles w.
Couldock, the veteran actor, died at his
home in this city after short illness.
Mr.. Couldock was stricken on Nov. 8
with what was thought to be indiges-
ton, but afterwards diagnosed as
dropsy. On Nov. 81 his condition be-
came critical and since then, even
though he has had several light rallies,
death was expected. --5 -
For a half century Mr.. Couldock has
been playing ''old man" parts, and he
was the best "old man. in this country.
He was born in England, and made his
debut 81 years ago as Othello at Sadlers
Wells theater in London. He came to
America with Charlotte Cushman in
l849, and played with that actress in
"The Stranger" He was member of
the celebrated Laura Keene's company.

and in 1881 he played Dunstan Kirke in
the famous play Of Steele Mackaye,
"Hazel Kirke." His last appearance on

Nothing Spain Can Do Will Change tho
Position Of Americans.
PARIS, Nov. 29-Unless there is some
change in the situation the Spanish re-
ply will be an acceptance, under pro-
test, of the American offer of $2o,0Oo,-
600 for the Philippines. Up to q late
hour kilograms have been exchanged
between the Spanish commissioners and
Madrid, but all the officials in position
to speak with accuracy are convinced
that the foregoing is the substance Of
the Spanish reply.
Senior Arbruzzi said that he is sure
there will be no break in the peace me-
gotiations.
Marquis de Comalas, head of various
Philippine interests, said that Spain had
nothing to do but to yield.
Determined to Take the Philippines.
Nothing that we have done here"
said the marquis, has made any inn
preston upon the minds Of the Ameri-
can commissioners. From the very
first their intention was to take the
Philippines and they have never
wavered.'
There is no truth in the report cabled
here from Washington that in the last
American memorandum a demand for
the Sulu group has been added to the
previous American demands. The orig
inal American demand was upon terri
tory within lines longitudinally and lat
itudinally defined. It will exclude the
so-called Sulu group. There has been
no change since the first demand, and
according to the statement of one of the
American commissioners there will be
no modification of it.

Breaking Off Of Negotiations,

Nothing They Can DoThat Will
Change the Position of
the Americans.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Throughout
the peace negotiations which are still
pending in Paris the president has ex-
pressed confidence that treaty salts
factory to the United States would be
drafted and signed. From time to time
assurances of substantial progress to-
ward that end have been received from
the American commissioners. During
the day advices have been received by
the president from Mr.. Day, president
of the American commission. reiterat-
ing the assurances he had previously
given the president of the early and
successful conclusion Of the work of the
commission. Judge Day, it is under
stood, states positively that the Spanish
commissioners formally will accept the
Terms of the United States
and that treaty drawn along the lines
of the agreement reached will be signed
in few days.
The dispatch from Judge Day was the
first absolutely definite statement as to
the conclusion of the labors of the COM
mission that have been received and
quite naturally it afforded the president
and his advisers considerable satisfac-
ton. 1t is probable the president will
discuss in his message to congress which
will be delivered Monday next the sue
cessful efforts of the administration in
the negotiation of peace treaty, al
though there is possibility that the
treaty itself may not have been signed
at the time.

SCALDED BY ESCAPING STEAM
Steamers Boiler Explodes on a
California River.
TERRIBLE SCENES OF SUFFERING
Six of Those on Board Met Almost Instant
Death and More Than Thirty
Others Were Injured.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 29,-The most
disastrous accident in the history of
Stockton occurred during the day near
Fourteen Mile Slough, when a part of
one Of the boilers of the river steamer T.
c. Walker, which left San Francisco
about o'clock Saturday night, was
blown out, killing 6 and dangerously
wounding II persons, while probably Is
or 20 were more or less badly hurt. The
T. c. Walker is owned by the California
Navigation and improvement company
and ran between San Francisco and
Stockton. The dead are John Tulan,
captain of the stea mer T. c.. Walker;
w. A. Blunt, shipping agent; Watson
Henry, engineer of the T. C. Walker;
Mrs. Watson Henry, wife of the engi-
neer; John Daily, fireman, and Ferdi-
nand Law of Seattle.
Most of the Passengers Asleep.
The majority of the passengers were
in bed when the explosion occurred and
were awakened by the report which
was loud as lannon's roar. People
rushed from their rooms in their night
clothes and found the whole forward
portion of the steamers upper works
blown away. The electric lights had
been put out and the escaping steam en-
veloped the front portion of the bow
till it was impossible to see how much
of the boat had been carried away.
Underneath the lower deck, where the
deckhands slept, the groans and screams
were terrible, for the imprisoned men
were receiving the full force Of the
steam as it came from the boilers.
About an hour after the explosion the
passenger steamer Dauntless coming
from San Francisco hove in sight. She
rendered immediate assistance and all
the wounded and uninjured were taken
aboard.

Severe Storm of Wind and Snow General
Throughout Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. pa blizzard

unexpected as it was violent, it wrought
great havoc not only here, but through
the entire state. In those "a hours the
snowfall reached depth of over nine
inches and the wind a velocity of 45
miles an hour. These figures are unpre.
cedented in the November records OF
the local weather bureau, and the Off
Gals there say that the storm in general
was the worst since the memorable biz
card cf 1885, In this city traffic of

there have been heavy losses.

Boston, Nov. 29.-A record breaking
November blizzard swept over the
greater portion of New England during
the past "a hours completely demoraliz-
ing traffic of every description and we'll
nigh paralyzing telegraphic and tele-
phonic communication, while the north
east gale, coming on high course of
tides, drove the sea far beyond it's usual
limits and made a mark along shore,
exceeded only by the memorable hurri-
cane Of 1851. During the gale 80
barges and schooners lying in the har-
Dor were wrecked and sunk and at least
IL lives were lost.
Snowfall of Two Feet.
While the storm was heaviest in the
southeast portion of New England the
whole district was affected, and expe-
rienced snowfall of from 8 to "a
inches. Fortunately the storm was her
aided sufficiently in advance by the
weather bureau to detain most of the
coastwise shipping in safe harbors, but
the warning was entirely UNDECIDED and
ignored by those on shore with the re-
suit that nearly everyone, especially the
railroads and electric companies, were
caught mapping and suffered according
ly. Trains north, east, south and west
were nearly all stalled early in the
night, although one train from Bangor
reached Lynn during the morning and
two Chicago trains came into the city in
the evening.
Worst Storm in Many Years.
The storm was the worst in the vicin-
lty for II years. There was no attempt
to run more than dozen cars on Wash
1ngton street and others of the main
thoroughfares. The storm, though not
as fa1reaching and terrible in it's effects
as the frightful blizzard Of last Febru-
airy, yet it was the heaviest felt in this
city for series Of years.
Only the barest facts have been re.
ceived from the coast towns, but even
those reports gave the gravest fears as
to the safety Of what little shipping
may have been off Cape Cod during the
past two or three days. It may be sew
eral days before a complete list of the
disasters can be made known.
