COTTON.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE volume of
speculation in cotton was smaller within
narrow range of fluctuations; the scope
of the changes being matter of )
points. AT the lowest level prices showed
Il loss of 2 points on one month only; at
the best an advance of 2 to , points.
Starting out with cable accounts about
as expected the local contingent took
to selling a little cotton on their own ac-
count, in the absence of outside support,
except that which was furnished by Wall
Street parties who continued to buy on
all weak intervals; the basis of their
faith being disposition to accept the
claims of concerted action on the part of
cotton planters to reduce the acreage to
be devoted to cotton next season. In
this connection there were numerous re-
ports to indicate a backwardness in gem
eral farm preparations and notably small
purchases OF fertilizers. The long in
terest continued to have the advantage
of favorable accounts from New England
and from dry goods markets, as to the
consumption of cotton and the sale of
cloths, while advces from the leading
spot cotton markets in the South were
quite as encouraging as ever regarding
the attitude of American spinners and
English exporters. Leading bear houses
made several attempts to undermine long
cotton, but without marked success;
some of the smaller longs liquidating, but
what they sold was absorbed in good
part by Wall Street houses. The market
was steady, ? points higher to net
lower.

FdTE OF THE BULG4RI1,
She Was Sinking When Sighted-Three
 Holds Full of Water.

London, Feb. 13.-Lloyds' agent at St. Michaels, Azores cables that the tank steamer Weehawken reports that the steamer Bulgaria, when spoken on Feb- ruary in latitude 40, longitude 49, was in sinking condition, with three holds full of water, her rudder broken and her machinery disabled. The agent says the Weehawken had lost her boats and arrived with her bunkers full of water. The agents of the Hamburg American Steamship company here ad- init that the latest news as to the Bull garia's condition when sighted by the WeehaWken is grave. They are still hopeful, however that the rest of the crew and passengers have been rescued by other steamers in the vicinity The Daily Mail tomorrow will publish a dispatch from Ponta Del Gada, Azores Island, saying that the Bulgaria had crew of ninety-eight and carried forty one passengers, and that sthe Weehaw- ken rescued twelve members of the crew and eleven passengers. AS a re- suit of the reports of terrible weather, brought by all incoming vessels, twenty guineas per cent. is being paid on the Bulgaria.

MA YLAND.
Railroad Traffic About Tied Up-A Coal
 Famine Threatened.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 13.-A special dispatch from Cumberland in the noun tain district of the state says the storm there has been of unprecedented vio- lence and duration, having lasted for forty-eight hours without cessation. Heavy drifts have formed on the Balti more and Ohio lines at that point and all trains for the west on the Washing ton and Pittsburg division have been abandoned. Those due from the east last night and this morning were from six to twelve hours late and those from the west are also delayed. All trains are being drawn by two engines and as few cars as practicable are being haul ed. A coal famine is threatened in Cumberland and the suffering among the poor of the city is intense. Two hunt CTS who went into the mountains on Saturday have not since been seen and 1t is considered almost certain that they have been frozen to death.

People in Colorado Fear More Snow-
 slides Like Thnf of Sundny

Silver Plume, Col, Feb. 13.-Many people living in cabins on the mountain sides were moving to-day in order to avoid possible death in the snowslides such as that which swept down Chey- enne canon yesterday. So far eight bodies have been recovered. Three men who were caught in the slide were taken out only slightly bruised It is known that thirteen persons were in the slide and two are missing. Possibly dozen more were caught by the slide. The men who were saved say that it was by miracle. Where the slide finally stopped the drift is 300 feet across and from fifty to seventy-five feet in depth It is fully 1500 feet long. The drift is filled with timbers and boulders and the rescue party found it almost impossible at times to dig into the hard mass. The orehouse of Pelican and Garry City mines were swept away and it is es- timated that $5O,000 worth of ore was carried into the basin between the mountains and lost.

and Public Gatherings Forbidden.
 Waterville, Me-, Feb. 13.-The cpl demic of smallpox in this city has be- come so serious that to-day the board of health decided to use the state laws governing epidemics, to enforce the proper quarantine of houses, the isola- ton of patients by means of pesthouses and the reporting of suspected cases by physicians. Schools of all kinds are or- dered closed, entertainments and all public gatherings forbidden and those citizens who had accepted invitations to the governors reception at Augusta to- morrow peremptorily requested to de- cline the same. The faculties of Colby university to-day ordered the institution closed and sent the students hurriedly to their homes. The same was done at Coburn institute. The state board of health Is searching for those persons who have left the city the past few days, in order to quarantine them to prevent the outbreak of the infection in other places Nearly every smallpox case in nearby towns has been traced to the city. The infection was first brought here by soldier from south- eru camp

-1TTAC ON HOUSE OF LORDS.
Made by Henry LabOuchere With View
 to Limiting Its Veto Power,

London, Feb. 13.--In the hols3 of commons to-day Henry Labouchere.
 liberal, made his annual attack up,n
 the house of lords with view of linn iting its veto power from which he said.
 liberal measures invariably suffered. He moved an amendment to the address to
 the throne providing that bills adopted
 by the commons in one session and not
 adopted by the lords should, if repassed
 by the commons at subsequent session
 become law of the land. Sir Henry
 Campbell Zimmerman, the newly elected
 leader of the liberals in the commons
 supported the Walton amendment. Tn
 the course of a vigorous speech he de-
 nied that the liberals were actuated by partisan spirit in raising the question, but the house of lords, he declared, had always formed a continuous and stereo- typed anti-liberal majority. "On patri- otic and constitutional grounds" said Sir Henry, ''the situation Is full of dan
 ger and no dispassonate man can deny the absurdity of house of lords in the face of representative system of gov ernment. The liberals desire to guard the rights of the representative cham Der, while leaving to the house of peers a reasonable power of criticism and ad- vice. Arthur J. Balfour said there was no middle course between the policy expressed by MT. Laboucheres amend ment and the policy of leaving the house of peers in it's present position. He declared it to be his firm conviction that the liberals in proposing constitu- tional reform, were really acting in the interests of party. The house then re- jected both amendments, MT. Waltons by 257 against 107 and Mir. Laboucheres | by 223 against 105.

TRAGEDY IN HIGH LITE.
Providence Young Man Kills His Wife
 After Wedding Celebration.

Providence, R. T., Feb. 13-Amos
 Palmer, young man well known in so-
 cial life of this city, shot and killed
 his wife, a their home at Edgewood
 town of Cranston, late last night. The
 tragedy came as the ending of an eve-
 ming spent in social entertainment of a
 small number of friends in observance
 of the eighth anniversary of MT. and
 Mrs. Palmers marriage, during which
 considerable wine was drunk. It is al-
 legged that her husband fired five shots
 at her, four of which took effect in the
 region of the heart and one in the left
 arm. It is said that Palmer was con,
 fined at one time in the Butler hospital
 for the insane.
 Mrs Palmer was formerly resident
 of New Hampshire. She married Dol
 lie" Bliss, boot and shoe dealer of
 this city. Bliss got a divorce from her
 because of her immoral life, and then
 young Palmer, the only son of Mrs.
 Annita Palmer, who had great deal
 of wealth. took her up and cared for her until his mother died, and a few days later he married her. Palmer's action at the time caused considerable comment, although he was known as lively young fellow who spent his mon- ey chiefly in having a good time. The married life of the couple, as far as ap- peared on the surface, was happy. The Palmer homestead was on Broad street, it is now the site of the Providence Athletic club house. The young people built a $5,000 house further out on Broad street, which, two years ago, they sold for about half it's cost. Then they erected a far more beautiful house in Edgewood where their gilded mar ried life came to an end.
 Of the social side of last nights event the servants say that MT. Palmer was well intoxicated. After the friends left both the host and hostess had lunch and then retired to their room. A ser want in a room overhead says she heard the couple laughing and talking and then came a pounding noise. She then heard Mr. Palmer call her, saying: T think I have killed her." She was met at the foot of the stairs by Palmer, who said: "She is in there," pointing to his room. and I have killed her. Oh, God, I have killed her. I have murdered my wife. My God am a murderer. Oh, what I have done? Just think, Mary, [ have killed my wife" The girl found the body of her mistress living on the floor with her head resting on a has, sock. She did not touch the body but 1t once went for the coachn1an, who was nearby. She told him what had hap | oened and he came to the house at once. | When he arrived he found MT. Palmer evidently crazed and with pistol in 1s hand intent apparently on taking his | ,wn life. There was a struggle between | -h two men. Palmer was twice dis armed of the revolver and then he 1 ,almed down and rang for a surgeon. Later, the police were notified and they | lrrested Palmer, who was arraigned at ! pleaded not guilty to the | ,harge of murder and was committed | Nithou! bail.

FOUR DEAD IN ONE ROOM
POLICEMAN'S GRUESOME DISCOV-
 ERY IN MARLBORO, MASS.
Broke Into n House to Investigate n Fire When He Saw the Dead Lying on n Mattress-Three Other Persons In- confederation Examiner Will Say Nothing as to Cause of Death.

Marlboro, Mass, Feb. 13.-A grue- some spectacle was brought to the at- tention of Policeman Harnett early this evening, when he went to small house in the rear of a shoe factory to investi- gate a fire. He found the house full of smoke and in room off the kitchen four persons lying on mattress which had been placed on the floor, all dead, and in the kitchen three other persons in state of nsensibility. The dead are:
 Edward F. Underwood, about fifty years old.
 Olive Underwood, daughter of Ed ward.
 John Clifford, two-year-ol son of Ol- i've
 Frances Underwood, eight-year-old daughter of Edward.
 The unconscious persons were:
 Robert McMullen, about fifty-hve years old.
 Mrs. Underwood, wife of Edward Un- derwood.
 Guy Underwood, a son.
 Policeman Harnett forced an entrance to the house by way of the kitchen. The room was full of smoke, but not suffi- cient to indicate that the building was on fire. The policeman went to the ta- ble and found a woman sitting beside it. She did not speak, so the policeman ho ind tr> o1a smoke Then he perceived an elderly man lying on lounge and young man sitting in chair beside the stove Harnett succeeded in rousing only the old man, but as he could not talk intel ligently the policeman went into the next room. On the floor, covering a mattress, were four persons and the pO- liceman found that they were all dead. All were partially undressed. Police man Harnett immediately sent word to the police station and the city marshal and medical examiner responded. The unconscious persons were taken to the station house in hack and physicians were summoned, who gave treatment to save the lives of the unfortunates. A little later all the persons were iden- tified as in the above list. Two hours later the four bodies were taken to the city morgue and the medical examiner began an inquiry to determine the cause of death.
 This inquiry continued until quite late tonight, and after it was over Medical Examiner Hoyt declined to express an opinion as to the cause of the deaths. He, however, admitted that he had en- deavored to get word to the district at torney. An autopsy will be held to- morrow. Late tonight Mrs. Under wood, MT McMullen and the son Guy had been revived sufficiently to talk but very little could be learned from them.

At Anniston, Ala, 1t Was 15 Degrees Be1ow-Great Suffering Caused-Po- Pnralyzed-GOvernor RooseveItOrders ArmOries Opened to Poor iIl New York.

Armories Opened to Poor in New York. fashioned snowstorm which has been raging throughout New England since early Sunday morning with only slight interval of calm weather increased in intensity to-day and by night had de- veloped into a blizzard with the usual accompaniment of stalled railroad trains, paralyzed street car service and a general blockade, although telegraph and telephone lines up to late hour had not suffered materially. The storm, following the severe cold wave of last week seems to have been the climax for the severest winter that has been ex- perienced in this region for many years. On sea and land the inclemency of the weather has been the one great feature and suffering has been intense, not only among seamen but with all trainmen, and especially the poor of the great cities. The main storm began at an early hour this morning and since then it has showed necessarily, while the northeast gale at times reached veloc- ity of over fifty miles an hour. The railroad companies wrestled all day with the great drifts and, not being equipped with modern western machines for handling such vast quantities of snow the train service became badly suspended throughout New England. Few dispatches were received from along the coast, but the meagre news fering, the details of which will arrive tomorrow or next day.
