Washington, August 12.-The ques-
ion to the right of Father Marquette
10 figure as a leading actor in the
history Of this country has arisen
gain in connection with the fact that
picture Of Marquette sailing down
he Mississippi is borne on the one
ent Omaha Exposition stamps.
A correspondent Of the Post Office
department recently wrote that he had
& ade search to ascertain what claims
#arquette has TO THE distinction thus
wen him. with the result that his
Try showed him to have been a for
#gner and a Jesuit, but not marked as
man OF note either in literature or
ence. Information was asked as to
pot his great merit was.
John P Merritt, third assistant post
lster-general, has written letter
owing why the design was adopted.
says that the object of the pro
Y tiers and managers Of the Trans
ssissippi Exposition is to give eN-
sssion to commendable prideonthe
rt of the inhabitants in the pro
ss OF their section, and to demon
ate it's growth, and anything per

he says, that Marquette did no
cover the Mississippi, but, lik'
ericus Vespucci, he continued th'
lorations and America is named al
the latter.
AS to the religious belief of Mar
tie, says Mr.. Merritt, at never en-
into or influenced the selection o
device, one way or the other"
As to the fact OF Marquette beini

A VESSEL WRECKED.
Crew of the Charles S. Briggs Supposed
to Have Perished

Boston, Feb. IA three-masted
schooner, believed to be the Charles s.
Briggs of Bath, Me, laden with coal.
was wrecked off Little Nahant, some
time last night.
1t is believed that there were eight
men on board, and all are thought to
have been drowned.
The vessel is a total wreck.
One body was found among the
wreckage that was washed ashore
The vessel is believed to have been
wrecked about O'clock last night. The
fierce northeasterly gale which was
blowing at that time, accompanied by a
heavy fall of snow, made passage upon
the sea exceedingly hazardous.
The vessel struck upon the ledge and
was smashed into pieces Parts of the
Inflated schooner were one mass of
splinters, and today lined the shore for
a considerable distance.
The spot where the vessel struck is
removed northerly from Egg Rock light
From the moment that she struck
there was no possible chance for the
members of the crew to save them
selves. The vessel, it IS thought, must
have been completely shattered by the
force of the collision, and the rough sea
added to the work of destruction, and
rendered the saving of life impossible.
The body of one of the crew was found
this forenoon among the rocks. 1t was
frozen to plank and was badly dis
figured The body was that of a man
about 95 years of age.

BLIZZARD IN ST. JOHNS.
A Large Number of Men Carried of on

feared there will be a repetition of the
disaster Of seven years ago, when forty
perished The thermometer shows 20
degrees below zero, and the cold is so
terrible that some loss of life must re-
suit. The government is Gispatching a
rescue steamer to the endangered men.
An unidentified steamer, believed to
be the jamaica, Capt. Peterson, from
New York Jan. %, for St Johns, with
a general cargo, is visible in an ice foe
off Ferryland 30 miles south of this
port She is flying distress signals, and
it is feared that she has been seriously

WORK UNCE ERTAIN.
Hundreds of Persons Left Desti-

About Seven Per Cent. of Those in the
Gold Fields Able to Earn Their LIv-
ing Last Year.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Gen. Merriam
tary Meikeljohn, yesterday, opened at
Seattle the dispatches brought by
Special Messenger Wells from Capt
Ray, the departments special repre-
sentative in the Klondike, and forward
ed an abstract of them to the war de-
partment by telegraph. Acting Secre-
tary Meikeljohn submitted the abstract
to Secretary Alger, and after consulta.
tion between these officials, the paper
was sent over to the White House
where it was considered by the cabinet
meeting today 1t is said that the re-
port fully justifies all that has been
done by the war department to relieve
the situation in the Klondike.
The state Of affairs In the Klondike
as revealed by the report, Is worse than
was suspected at the war department
and, indeed, so large is the task that
remains to be executed in order to en-
sure the safety of life and property on
the American side of the line alone
that the war department officials have
concluded to advise congress as to the
facts and place upon the legislative
branch the duty of devising ways and
means to meet the exigencies of the
case.
The abstract of Captain Rays report
as telegraphed by Major Robinson, is as
follows:
Latest letters bear date OF November
2 and 3, refer to attempted robbery ot
caches, recommend that the United
States government take steps to effect
ually check immigration to the interior
Of Alaska of all persons not fully sup
piled to last two years.
Gives as reason no way to earn liv-
ing, and that no placer discoveries have
been made within the last eight months
either in Alaska or the northwest ter.
ritory.
There is no employment for any large
number of people in any capacity, al
values are speculative. There is no fixed
standard for labor. There is not now
or likely to be within y months ade'
quate or efficient means of supplying
people now in Alaska or northwest ter
ritory. Is Of opinion that about pei
cent Of all people who have entered dur
ing the past year have earned their liv
ing and hundreds are now scattered
along the river, destitute of food, cloth
ing and money. People coming in have
not had faintest conception what to d.
to earn a living, and after spending
their money they became dazed an(
helpless.
States rush will be great the mex
| year, and any step that viii proven
people from coming, In their ignorance
will be an act of charity.
In view Of recent developments ant
knowledge that the lawless are banding
together along the river for the purpose
of robbery, renewS suggestion for the
government placing on the river small
draft steamers with high power, armed
aud used to patrol the river. and tht
placing of detachments as the move
ment of the people demands. Also rec
ommends preliminary survey by Cooks
inlet to the interior for all American
roads

Two Feet Of Snow on the Level and Piled in Drifts
Puts Stop to Business.
Efforts Making to Raise the BIockade-Prospects
,, That Most of the Car Lines Will Be Running
Tomorrow--TE Marlboro Line in
the Worst Shape.

The snow storm and gale which ush-
go down in history as one of the re-
markable storms of the closing century.
1t was not quite 50 big as the memora-
BILE blizzard of March, 1888, but had it
not been for that tremendous display of
the power of the elements the present
storm would be regarded as a record
breaker. The snow began falling about
9 o'clock Monday forenoon, and it kept
coming without interruption until II
o'clock Tuesday forenoon.
During this eventful 20 hours about 26
inches of snow fell on level, and in
places it drifted to depth of 10 or u
feet. All street railway traffic in the
city was suspended, the steam railroads
ceased to run trains, telephone and tel
egraph communication with Boston was
entirely cut off and many of the city
streets were so blocked with drifting
snow that il was well along into the
afternoon before they were Eroken out.
At midnight, more than u hours after
the snow ceased to fall. the only lines
Of street cars in running order are those
on Main street. Front street and Green
street, The side lines are completely
showed under and thousands of tons of
snow will have to be removed or packed
down before they can be operated.
The railroads are in running order,
. the Boston and Albany, which suffered
{ the worst, having got its first train
through from Boston to Worcester at 4
oeiocF in the afternoon. The tele-
graph and telephone wires are still in
bad shape, though the New England
Company has patched up service over
one wire to Boston
The storm caused suspension of
business in the superior courts and the
closing of the public schools. Some of
the details and incidents Of the storm
appear below:

A VERY DULL DAY.
Many of the State Legislators We're
Snow Bound.

Boston, Feb. 1. = The storm paralyzed
state business like other business, and of
the IL or Is committee hearings scheduled
for today, not one took place, and neither
branch of the general court transacted
much business. Police Commissioners
Clark and Curtis were on hand in the
room of the committee on metropolitan
affairs, ready to be heard on the bill for
new police headquarters in Pemberton
square, but only a few members of the
committee had been able to get in, and the
commissioners merely explained the need
of new headquarters informally Chair
man Myers and several members of the
judiciary committee were on hand but no
one appeared before them.
The senate adjourned after being called
to order and having heard a prayer, but
the house received good deal of the new
business filed late yesterday before ad-
journing. There were only handful of
men in the senate, and not more than 70
members appeared to be in their seats in
the house.

Adjoining Towns Cut Off.

The storm was loaded with difficulties
for the suburban roads running into the

here from any of the surrounding towns,
and communication was almost cut off
from our country cousins. When work
men men were sent out to clear the tracks
Tuesday they encountered some drifts
that would easily dwarf a car. All .he
roads Jared alike and all are equally
crippled The Worcester and Suburban
street railroad officials started out early
Tuesday morning to clear both divisions
of the road, and in spite of immense
drifts remarkable progress was made.
