THREE STATES sNowBoUND.
Iowa and Illinois Also Experience
the storms Severity.

CHICAGO, Feb 2O.-The states of
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois are prac-
tically snowbound, Reports from Cedar
Rapids and Webster City, To-; Freeport,
Bloomington, Rockford and Galesburg,
ILL.,, indicate an average snow fall since
last night of two feet. Throughout
Wisconsin and Northern Michigan the
fall was much heavier, in fact the
greatest of the season. forty-mile
gale has piled the snow into enormous
drifts, completely paralyzing street
railway traffic and seriously interfer
ing with the operation of trains on
the steam roads. The Chicago, Mill
waukee e st. Paul, the Northwestern
and the Wisconsin Central trains have
been delayed in some instances fifteen
hours, owing to the heavy drifts and
steady fall of snow, which makes the
use of the snow plows unavailable
Rain and snow alternated in Chicago
and vicinity, but late tonight the snow
seemed to have gained the upper hand.
Not enough has fallen, however, to
interfere with traffic.

the Mystery Ex-
planned

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Daily TAle-
graph publishes this morning an aIIee-
ed explanation of the Dreyfus mystery.
According to this explanation, Sc
cret compact between Russia and Ger
many existed before the Franco-Rus-
san M alIance was arranged. Under its
many with all the information obtain
able by spies or otherwise regarding
French military affairs, Germany SIM
plying Russia in return with inforna-
tlon concerning another power, pre-
sumably Austro- Hungary.
Dreyfus discovered and traded upon
thls compact. Whether the bordereau
was written by him or not. it was mere-
ly the ostensible basis of the indict-
ment against him. The real secret doc
ument referred to a compact, the reye-
lat1on of which would have imperileJ
the Russian alliance.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. 2O-The In

the Cubans to purchase their liberty by the
issuance of Cuban bonds, this government to
assume the responsibility of collecting the
customs duties and thus see that the reye-

payment of interest on the bonds.
Concerning the Maine disaster, Mr.. Porter

fasten guilt upon the Spanish authorities. He

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Feb. 2O.-The
blizzard which started in yesterday
morning and of which Milwaukee is
the center still continues. Twenty
inches of snow are reported by the
weather bureau to have fallen in this
city. The storm is said to be confined
to the eastern part of the state. In
the battle between the storm and the
street railway, the latter, which re-
treated at 10 o'clock last night, Waged
war again early this morning, and with
full complement of sWeeperS and
snow plOws managed, with constant
service, to keep most of the city lines
open all day. Tonight the traffic is
becoming congeSted again, as the wind
has increased in velocity and blows
the snow back onto the tracks about
as fast as it is being cleared off The
company does not pretend to keep
suburban lines open. and not a wheel
outside the city limits has moved since
yesterday afternoon.
The temperature has fallen about 20
degrees tonight, and the snow, which
is still coming down, is not as heavy
and wet and easier to handle. Snow
to the depth of several feet is piled
up all along the different lines of street
railway, and it will be many days be-
fore it can be carted away Most Of
the cars are running in pairs again to-
night, it being almost impossible to run
them singly.
Railway trains on all roads entering
Milwaukee are all the way from one
to fifteen hours late The passenger
train on the Chicago & Northwestern
railway from Green Bay, due at 7:l5
last night, became stalled in a huge
snow drift about three miles from the
city, and did not reach the depot until
IL o'clock this morning. The wind is
blowing strong from the northeast, but
the indications are that it will switch
around to the northwest about mid
night, growing colder, and clear up.
All the boats plying between here
and across the lake and northern and
southern points are accounted for. The
steamer Iowa, of the Goodrich line,
running between Milwaukee and All
napee, which was due here last
night, drifted across the lake and took
shelter on the east shore.

Millevoye began haranguing the crowd.
despite the efforts Of the police to dis
lodge them. They advised the crowd
to disperse in orderly fashion. but to
keep on shouting loyal cries and re-
serve it's strength for another occa-
son. NJ. Thiebaud eulogized M. Roche
fort as the man who will toll the knelI

persed amid shouts of "Conspuez Zolao

Thiebaud went to the police station to
demand the liberation of a dozen .Der-
Parisien, arrested in the course of the
demonstrations
1t is variously estimated that from
10000 to $4,000 people took part in the
demonstration. This sufIices to show
that public feeling is unchanged. M.
Rochefort has promised to meet his
admirers on the Palace Monge and had
indicated his intended route to the
prison in today's Intransigeant. On
learning, however, that the troops were
to be called out, he changed his rOuta

collision
M. Thiebaud, in the course of his
harangue, added Down with the for
e1gners" to the other cries, and the
same sentiment was expressed in a yio-
lent speech delivered at an anti-Jewisr
meeting presided over by M. Milleyova
in the course of the afternoon al the
