WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Washington
is in the throes OF the most disastrous
blizzard in the history Of this part OF
the country. All business is at stand
still and all public questions are lost

OF the storm, and the prospect OF its
long continuation.
The street railways suspended at mid
night Sunday and not a car to the Capt.
itol or Georgetown, on either line, has
moved wheel today. The streets are
impossible even to foot travel. The
snow lies three feet deep on the level,
and has been drifted into piles from 5
to 10 feet high at street corners. The
city is cut off from commerce with the
world, all the railways entering the
capital being blockaded. The wind has
blown from 80 to 40 miles an hour dur
ing the day, the snow falling constantly
and tonight the velocity Of the wind Is
increasing steadily to gale. Compar-
| isons of the storm with New England
or Northwestern winters are not In
dulged in. It can only be likened to
the terrors OF the Klondfke. The mer-
curry is down to zero, the air filed with
binding snow, and the street lamps
and landmarks invisible. The business
houses were closed during the day, the
only activity being in coal wagons and
doctors buggies, which made heroic
but Intellectual attempts to meet q thou
