may have been off Cape Cod during
the past two or three days. 1t may be
several days before a complete list of
the disasters can be made known.
All points south of this city and east
of Providence were struck early last
evening, New Bedford being lost to the
outside world as early as O'Clock, and
Newport and New London disappear
ing into the unknown a short time aft
erwards. Trains south of Providence
were subject to delay. North shore
lines arrived at Providence with but
little delay, but beyond that point they
met with much delay, and 1t was
morning before they reached New Lon
don. Here they were stalled nearly all
day by a wreck between that point
and New Haven. The trains from
New York met a similar experience
west Of Saybrook, and after some hours
OF telegraphing they managed to reach
New London and started late in the
afternoon for Providence. At noon to-
day the regular New York express
left Springfield for this city, fol-
lowed shortly after by the morning
express from the West, and, barring
Snort delay through a wreck at West
Brookiield came through all right.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Adminis-
tration officers do not expect that the
so-called open door, policy will take
an important position in the discus
sions Of the coming session of con-
gress, but believe debate on this mat
tea. will wait on final disposition of the
Philippines.
An official today said: THE phrase
open door is of limited application
and has been used only with reference
to the possessions of European powers
on the east coast of Asia. Originating
in the treaty or open ports of China
and Japan, the words have been ex-
tended to cover ports which emma mas
leased or surrendered to foreign pow
ers. The phrase means that in such
ports the alien government has in fact
imposed no discrimination in tarlf or
navigation charges against imports OF
other countries, but has treated them
on the same plane as its own imports
and its own vessels. In other words
foreign powers holding Chinese ports
by treaty or seizure have merely an
nounced that they will keep open the
ports in the same manner as China has
opened certain free ports to the COM
merce of nations without discrimina-
ton or favor.
"The open door policy has been
politically obligatory, as the reverse
policy would be in direct hostility to
the purpose of civilized nations. steadl-
ly pursued for years and cOncurred IN
by China, of opening the Asiatic trade
to commerce.
'The phrase open door has no per-
thence to the Western hemisphere and
no relevancy to the West Indies. The
matter has been completely misunder-
stood by foreign newspapers giving
the phrase an application to this con-
tinent The United States restricts
trade between American ports to
American vessels precisely as the Do
minion of Canada restricts trade to
British vessels between Canadian
ports Under the British law any
nation which elects to allow British
vessels to engage in its coast trade can
obtain the privilege Of entering the
coast trade of Canada. The United
States has never availed Itself OF the
opportunity, holding that the privilege
to be granted Is very much more val
liable than the privilege to be obtain
ed.
THE restriction Of trade between the
United States and Porto Rico to Amer
lean vessels is based on the policy
which the United States has followed
towards all nations, a fact overlooked
by the European press. There seems TO
be a disposition here to change this
policy in this sphere from the mere
fact that by the possession Of the
Philippines the United States must de-
termlne whether 1t will follow the
open door policy Of other nations
with possessions by seizure or conccs-
sion on the east coast of Asia. Com
mercially, the restriction of the trade
between the United States and Porto
Rico is of relatively little moment, as
tc. q nd
absorbed by American and British YES
sells. The value Of Porto Rico is as a
fulcrum for the development Of Ameri-
can commerce in the West Indies"

The Blizzard Responsible for Great
Havoc in Pennsylvania

Havoc i'm Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 81
The blizzard which came out Of the
West reached this city at IL O'clock
yesterday morning and ragged furiously
until o'clock this morning. AS UNI
expected as it was violent it wrought
great havoc, not only here, but
throughout the entire state. In those
fourteen hours the snow fall reached
depth Of over nine inches and the
wind velocity of forty-f1ve miles an
hour. These figures are unprecedented
In the November records OF the local
weather bureau, and the officials there
say that the storm in general was the
worst since the memorable blizzard Of
1888.
With the snow the mercury steadily
dropped until we'll below the freezing
point, and tonight it is still on its
downward way. In this city traffic of
every kind, as well as wire communi-
cation, was crippled. The suburban
lines were brought to a complete
standstill, with the roads piled high
with drifted snow. Dispatches from
In the mountain regions of Scranton
and Wilkesbarre the greatest damage
was TO telegraph wires, but the delay
to steam traffic was inconsiderable.
The gale was especially severe
around the Delaware capes. The
schooner William NJ. Wilson, from
Philadelphia for Norfolk, with a cargo
OF coal, sprung leak four miles south
of Metekim life saving station. Her
signals were promptly answered and
the guards took off her crew of six
men. The schooner Is anchored a mile
and a half off shore and is likely to
sink during the night.
A number of vessels off the capes
were unable to get into the harbor, and
It is feared that there have been heavy
losses. The new steamship Admiral

Brockton, Mass, Jan. 31.-George c
Howard, the superintendent of school,
of West Bridgewater, and an ex-statt
representative, is self-confessed forgel
to the extent of at least $500. The specific
charge against him is that of forging
the Endorsement to a note of 5000 which
is now held by the Peoples Savings bank
of this city, and it was at the instigatior
of the directors of this bank that his ar
rest was secretly made. The note which
the bank holds is dated Dec. 80 1897, runs
six months and is Endorsed by F. d. How.
ard and George Wilbur, both of West
Bridgewater. The officials of the banl
first suspected that the Endorsement wa
not right on Thursday, and at a meeting
of the directors on Friday it was voted
to give Howard an opportunity to settlt
for the full value of the note. Later,
however. the bank rescinded it's former
action and voted to place the matter in
the hands of the police.

many are out of employment the city
continues very quiet, and with the ex-

tie to indicate that one of the bigges,

is thought the exodus of the mill hands
will continue this week, although hun
dreds have already left town.
The manufacturers have not yet made
their statement as to the future policy
to be pursued by them, and it is the gen
eral opinion that they will not make any
effort to start the mills for some time

and some of them have already stated
that they would not be surprised if the
