The Terrible Eastern Weather.

Probably the scvcrcst storm OF tie
century prevailed this week all along
the Atlantic scabUard ana westward to
the extreme boundary of Texas. From
the gull northward the cold wave en-
velopcd the whole south and the tenn
peraturc has been many degrees below
zero, the lowest ever known in that
latitude. Immense damage has been
done to shipping, and loss of property
and life is reported at various points
all over the country. In New York
the storm prevailed all day Sunday, in
crcasing in violence rs night drew on.
Trains were delayed and sea-going YES
sells remained in port rather than to
face storm OF such magnitude.
In Philadelphia, the storm assumed
the proportions of 4 blizzard, and a
coal famine prevailed for time. The
Reading road abandoned its train SER
vice, and the Pennsylvania, despite
its utmost endeavors, could afford only
a half-service.
The coast of Delaware was strcwn
with wrecks. The coal regions in
Pennsylvania were snowbound from
drifts and railroad traffic was supend-
cd. Train service was interrupted all
over the New England States.
None OF the Atlantic liners from
Great Britain and the continent, due
at the end of the week had been sight
ed Monday. 1t was supposed that a
large fleet had arrived at Sandy Hook,
at that date, and were waiting outside
for the storm to pass before entering
port.
At the national capital the mercury
Monday recorded Ii degrees below
zero, and the effect had been that the
business Of the departments had come
to almost stand, less than one-half
the clerical force reporting for duty.
The employees in several departments
were dismissed at noon for the day,
and the paralysis of business is the
worst experienced since the blizzard of
1883.
Two women were frozen to death in
New York and Brooklyn, Sunday, and
it was feared that two mail carriers
who were missing had been drowned.
They had crossed over to City Island
to deliver mail in a small boat, and
the boat became unmanageable from
floating ice, on the return. Six men
went to their relief in a larger boat
but were unable to reach them and
the mail boat was carried out into the
harbor
In Indian Territory all weather rec
ords had been broken by the storm of
Sunday. The temperature was "a de-
grees below, rivers frozen, trains late
ana STOCK suffering.
Even rs far west as Eastern Oregon,
the effects Of the storm were felt, and
thousands of range horses were said to
be starving to death. The loss Of cat
tie and sheep is also large.
The loss of eight lives in a snow
tslide in Cheyenne canyon, Colorado,
was reported under date of Monday.

doughty Colonel who wanted to twist
the English lions tail, or the great
Mogul of Puyallup.
The idea Is so narrow, So contracted
in It's scope, and 50 deceitful and vim
dlctivc in its apparent object and con-
trolling motive, that it is hardly pos
siblc that any other than the execu-

existence. 1t reflects no honor on
him, and surely the Colonel can af-
ford to waive any credit that may be
accorded rs foxy political move to
defeat the popular will so often cx-
pressed for immediate construction OF
a Statc-house. The assumption of
credit, however, shows that his acct
dcncy is not above exercising the ma
turc of Pecksniff, as we'll as of q
Machiavelli, and cannot resist temp
tation to steal doubtful honors while
plotting to advance his ambition and
crafty his spite. lie has shown that
there is nothing too contemplate for
him to do to punish his enemies.
Only think OF an executive so con.
trolled by pure malevolence as to de-
clare that a great public work shall
cease when its advancement may re-
suit in a benefit to some person
against whom he has personal
grudge! Only think of this ami.

stone, bricks and mortar which enter
into the splendid foundation for a
State-house already completed, and OF
the vaunted declaration that so long
rs he holds the reins of power no
superstructure for q State building
shall be erected upon them! Are
not our people entitled to great credit
for patience in long.suffering that
they quietly tolerate such an incubus
in the executive chair?
They have the satisfaction of an
ticipating the fact that his fall from
power will be as rapid as his accidental
rise to the position that a yellow dog
could have attained under similar cir
cumstances. They know that if there
is any satisfaction in witnessing the
overthrow of exalted vain.glorious
pride, that Rogers will fall so low
there will be none to do him rever.
ence. His friends now are lew, and
if the sycophants who cling to official
position no manner how ignoble it may
have become by his acts.

"That by the ratification of the treaty

incorporate the inhabitants of the Phil
ippine islands into citizenship of the
United States, nor is it intended to per-
manently annex said islands as an i'll

government, and in due time to make
such disposition of said islands as will
best promote the interests of the citizens

WHEN the Ambassador of foreign
country allows himself to be inter-
viewed for publication, it is generally
to help the government of the country
he represents to carry out some plan.
Consequently there is much curiosity
in Washington since the German AM
bassador declared in published inter-
view that Germany would not inter-
fere with the plans of the United
States in the Philippines, because the
United States did not interfere with
Germany's plans in China, as to what
Germany's game is. Some think that
the interview was intended to notify
us that American non-intervehtion in
German plans in China is the price
that must be paid for German non-in-
tervention in American plans in the
Philippines.

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR PLUM
DER.-It does seem that nothing of
a meritorious nature can originate at
the national capital, but that there is
some compensating drawback to its
full benefits; that birds of ill-omen
follow the feast as naturally and as
surely as that shadow succeeds sun
shine, the night follows the day. The
bill to encourage American shipping
should be a measure to enlist sym.
pathy and pride, but no sooner is the
necessity shown and a disposition to
meet it manifested, than a flock of
cormorants hover over the beach when
. there is prospect of rich prizes being
cast up as political fotsam. Repre-
sentative Handy, of Delaware, who has
filed a minority report against the
Hanna-Payne bill does not mince
words in protestation against the
personal grabs into the peoples
money" That report says of the cost !:
"By a careful and conservative esti.
mate we find that the government will
be obligated by the contracts likely to
be entered into during the first twelve
months under this bill to pay bounties
amounting to more than $165, OOO,-
Co.," Ih concluding words are:
"This bill is the offspring of mere
bounty beggars and should be repudi-
ated by Representatives of both politi-
cal parties. 1t is vicious in principle.
1t is not necessary for the rehabilita.
ton of our merchant marine to give
hundreds of millions of the peoples tax
money. The bill is wholly unjustifi-
able"

FREAK OF GERMAN STUDENTS
Discourteous Treatment is Shown to
Women Who Attend Medical
Lectures in Berlin.

Copyright, 1892 by Press Publishing Coz
BERLIN, April 1.--(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.) 1.-THE agitation
among the German medical students against
the admittance of women to the medical pro-
fession is becoming serious in some medical
schools where the young men are acting
with such brutal discourtesy in many in
stances as to make the women students
position intolerable. All the German states
seem to favor admitting women except Prus-
sia. Four hundred and fourteen women are
attending medical lectures, 300 of them be-
ing over 25 years Of age. Fifty are Amer
leans.
The moral grounds upon which the male
students base their objections create amuse-
ment. They posted the other day on the
bulletin boards of Berlin university this
declaration: Experience abundantly shows
that the presence of men and women to-
gether in clinical lectures is detrimental to
serious medical study and opposed to the
principles of decorum and morality"

LONDON, April 1.-tNew York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram. THE first
Sunday issues of the Daily Mail and the
Daily Telegraph will apperr Sunday, April
o. and the event is being heralded by con-
siderable protest by leading religious au-
thorites throughout England, who object to
the innovation of seven day newspapers.
The archbishop of Canterbury says: My
opinion is the fewer Sunday papers there
are the better"
Cardinal Vaughan would not object III
Sunday papers We're merely the result of
Saturday labor, and adds: Surely we can
do one day in the week Without being fed
by electricity on electricity. is there to be
absolutely no repose in Journalism? If
none for the journalist why should there be
any for the journeyman?'
The bishop of London says: THE change
on Sunday from the perpetual presence OF
business, politics, problems and thoughts OF
the immediate present seems to me so bene-
fetal should be sorry to see it swept away.
Sir Henry Irving says: "'rhe only melan-
choly association l have with Sunday in this
country is there are no Sunday papers. II
there is any reason to deplore this taste
am beyond redemption. II more Sunday
papers are published / stall certainly buy
them, and hang the experaes."
Rider Haggard Saws: = Sc IS a matte
for individual judgment. People who dc
not approve of Sunday papers need not buy
them or allow them in their houses"
What is termed the non-conformist con-
science has been deeply stirred by this de-
velopment in newspaper enterprise The
three boards of London ministers, represent
ing the Presbyterians, Baptist and Congre-
gational communities met and solemnly
passed resolution calling upon ''all who
value the Lords day to discountenance il
every way this new departure as involving
large increase of unnecessary labor anC
tending to still further secularize the spr
and lower the moral tone of the com
munity"
Both the Mail and the Telegraph have
received numerous letters from subscriber!
stating they will drop taking their papers
altogether owing to Sunday publication.

DR.. BARTON'S NEW AIRSHlP
Inventor Gives n Detailed Description
of the Graft for which He
Claims So Much.

Copyright 1899. by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, April 1.--(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Teegram)-Dr. Felix Bar
toms air ship, whose trial was described
in a cable dispatch Thursday last, greatly
impressed the British government experts
present on that occasion. Said he: II have
been requested by the authorities to pre-
pare sketches and plans of my invention.
He told me today the ship sailed 300 yards
in the presence of Colonel York OF the mil
itary ballooning department at Woolwich
and would have sailed miles had l not
brought it down"
is it true you contemplate transatlantic
trip"
There is no reason why my air ship
should not. when perfected, go across the
Atlantic. The finished air ship will carry
crew of eight men with lifting power
of 900 pounds measurement, $50 feet by 30,
with a capacity of 10000 cubic feet of hydro
gen. The verticals are 172a square feet.
The ships length is 37H feet, depth 10 feet
netting . feet, beam 10 feet diameter OF
wheels feet and the fan propeller feet
There is coming tower, engine room
steering gear and bomb tube When you
wish to rise you pull UP the diaphragm or
inclined plane in the forepart of the ship
start the propeller and you ascend. while
by lowering the diaphragm you descend.
my recent tests were only with model
worked by cloCkwork, but my finished ma
chine will be driven by an electric motor
at 100 miles an hour. 1t will go from here
to New York under two days. A full ac-
commodaton of supplies for the crew would
be provided in the car of the vessel
which is always kept on an even keel
Through the bottom of the car there are
two bomb tubes, which could be used fol
dropping dynamite shells on an enemy. My
ship is to be constructed under the spervi.
sion of the military authorities and l an
confident it will fulfill the conditions l have
