Portsmouth, n. H., Feb. 3.-Never be-
fore in its history has the great Boston
and Maine railroad system been so com
pletely blockaded as during the recent
storm. The modern equipments for com
batting the elements were powerless
against the fury of the blizzard, and the
monster engines and the hundreds of men
with their shovels coufd do nothing to
prevent the complete blockading of the
line. superintendent Perkins and his
corps of assistants tried hard TO keep the
line open. but they were defeated, and
every train in this section was at a stand
still, with the snow gradually enveloping
the cars. Every locomotive in the round
house has been under steam. and Station

LOYALTY OF AMERICANS.

Tributes to the People by Representative
DaizeiI and senator Hawley.
Washington, March 2.-Senator
Hawley, chairman of the committee on
military affairs, and Representative
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, referred to
the Spanish situation in their speeches
before the Yale alumni Of Washington
last night.
Senator Hawley aroused much en-
thusiasm by referring to the conditions
now existing in this country, saying
that should a just cause demand, mill
lions Of men would respond to a call Of
duty. There has been a lot Of talk
of war" said Senator Hawley, and
the cool half-spoken, hal.-unspoken
words OF patriotism that have arisen
all over the country are, indeed, a
pride to America. 1t is magnificent
At any just demand millions will jump
to the call of duty, and do their duty
as Americans. No just cause will fail
to find ready response among all Amer
leans"
Representative Dalzell said all col
lege men should stand together in the
interests of the country. I'VE are liv-
ing in a peculiar time" said Mr.. Dali
zell, and are just now undergoing
such a crisis as this generation has
never known. For many months our
sympathies have gone out to- a peo-
pie on a neighboring island, who have
been suffering from cruel and unjust
tyranny. On top Of all this comes the
news Of an appalling disaster One Of
the noblest ships of our navy has
gone down in Havana harbor, and
hundreds of our jack tars, their sins
not confessed, have met with terrible
fate"
After severely condemning sensa-
tional reports, Mr.. Dalzell said: An
other conspicuous point of which we
are proud is the self-repressed and
calm dignity the American people as
whole have exercised throughout the
entire incident It shows that we are
capable Of exercising calm justice in
all things. The American people have
their eyes fixed on cool, deliberate
and wise statesman who is guiding our
magnificent ship Of state and all
American hearts are loyal and loving in
his support. They believe that Mr.. Nc
I<inley will decide when the time for
decision arrives, and that when he does
decide he will decide rightly and have
behind him to man the entire popu-
lation Of this great country"

EUROPEAN Powers Not Anxious to Side
with spain.
New York, March "A dispatch TO
the World from London says: The
suggestion in certain New York dis
patches that in the event Of war be-
tween the United States and Spain the
latter may receive active cooperation
from some unarmed European power
is treated with incredulity in political
circles Of London. A World represen-
tative discussed the question in the
House of Commons lobby with several
members of the Parliament who are
acknowledged authorities on foreign
affairs. All concurred in expressing
the opinion that should war break
out between the United States and
Spain in relation to Cuba both powers
would have a fair field and no favor
as far as European countries are con-
cerned.
Sir Charles Dixie, the highest I'M
official authority on such questions in
English politics, has already at an
early stage of the difficulty between
Spain and the United States stated
his belief that no European power
would intervene.
He reiterated that view, saying:
Nothing has occurred to alter my
opinion in that regard, although I
cannot believe that war is likely to
take place. No European powers has
a direct interest in helping Spain"
