and all tho machinery of the native gov
eminent in the hands of the adherents of
Mataafa. The chief justice retired to the
"porpoise," and then the German ofhctals
declared upon the ground that he had de-
serted Samoa and the three powers and
gone to England" They therefore in
stalled tho German president as chief JUS
tice, he being authorized by the treaty TO
act in case of a vacancy. These latter
proceedings were manifestly unlawful and
will doubtless be disavowed by the Ger
man government. The treaty furnishes
the full measure of the rights of all, and
is our complete safeguard in this episode

dent Mckinley, without haste or indis-
erection, will eventually cause all our
rights and those of the Samoan people
of the Supreme Court under the treaty
to be made secure If German officials in
Samoa exceeded their rights, as now seems
quite clear, their acts will be dsavowed

of the country can hardly be estimated.
The sufferngs of the poor in the larger
cities in the North has been extreme not
only on account of the severe cold but al
so owing to the lack of necessaries of life
as result of the interruption of traffic
by the drifting snow; and the public Will
probably never know how many lives
| have been lost in this country through the
effects of the storm of the present week.
1t is interesting to compare this hliz-
| gard with the great storm of March, 1885,
ity in the New England States. The lat
! ter was less extended and accompanied by
a higher degree of temperature than the
| blizzard of 1899, but it was of longer dura-
| ton and resulted in a greater snow fall
New York city was locked in the storms
| embrace from Sunday, March H. to the
| Wednesday following, and owing to the
| enormous fall of snow Geographic COM
muncation was interrupted in all diroc-
! tons, whereas there was comparatively
| little damage to telegraph and telephone
wires during the present storm. Scores
OF trains were stalled on the principal rail.
|
to restore railroad traffic to its normal
condition.
The great storm of 1855 began i'm Bur
lneton under peculiar conditions. on
Sunday morning, the nth, snow had dis
appeared from our principal streets, and
many of our citizens had brought out
their wagons preparatory to the opening
of spring which was thought to he at
/ hand. About o'clock in the evening snow
began to fall and the mercury which had
stood at 81 degrees above, fell to nine
above. By daylight Monday the STOW was
fully seven inches deep, and tho storm
continued with such fury that at the cnd
of twenty-four hours the record was
about fourteen inches, while at midnight
Tuesday night nearly twenty-four inches
of snow had fallen.
The railroads of Vermont suffered Sc
verely during the blizzard Of 1855, a num-
Der of trains being stalled on the Central
and Rutland divisions of the Central Yer
mont railroad. In the large cut near
Queen City Park an Immense drift fully
twelve feet in height extended for about
forty rods, and the blockade which began
on the Rutland division Monday night was
not broken until Wednesday afternoon,
when the first train stalled reached this
city. Montpelier was without telegra phic
communication to Boston and New York
for forty-eight hours. and no mails reach
ed that city from southern points from
Monday until Wednesday.
| The blizzard of the present week is seen
to have inflicted comparatively slight loss
upon railroads in this section of the coun-
try, while the degree of cold suffered in
Vermont has been less than that expert
enced at many points hundreds of miles
south of u.s.

ANOTHER BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.
The Towle Maple Syrup Co. of st. Paul
Has Leased Building in the city.

=. j. Towln, the he "a Of tho 1'owle Ma
pie Syrup company Of ST. Paul, Mimi. left
his city upon The sleeper Friday night al
ter spending several days in this city with
his son, W. }, ToWle in the inter, stS Of
the establishment of business at Bur
lngton. The visit to this city was a sue
cessful one and w. j. 1owe remain in
this city to look after the fitting up of
the Standardization building at the
addition, which has been rented from =.
5. Jones to be used rs Il branch of the
TOwle company in the preparation OF their
syrups for market. The company closed
lease of the budding Friday. 1t seems
admirably adapted to the use for which
quarters are desired and will require but
few changes Those which are required
and the piping and setting of machinery
necessary for the business will begin at
once.
The Towlc Maple Syrup Co. are not un-
known to Vermont for a large part OF
their business has been transacted in the
State. The sugar orchards of the state
have for long time furnished much OF
the syrup and sugar sold by them from
their headquarters at St Paul from which
point they control a large pcrCeutag" oi
the Western trade The ailshmeut OF
an office and manu.actory in this city
makes burlington the ne dquarters Of the
company and 1t is intended if the work
can be successfully conducted to handle
the most of botn the Eastern and Western
trade controlled from this city.

Two Great Storms.

The storm through which this country
has just passed is probably without par
allol as regards extent and the disastrous
effects Of the remarkably low tempera-
ture accompanying 1t. The announce
ment that three farmers were frozen to
death in Texas shows that the extreme
southern part Of the United States was
embraced in the storms path, the mer-
curry ranging from twenty-five TO thirty
nine degrees below zero as far South as
Kentucky. We can form little idea OF the
suffering entailed upon the people IN a
section wholly unprepared for such Sc
we're weather, or Of the loss resulting from
the ravsges of frost. In Texas and other
States in the Southwest where live stock
is compelled to depend upon pasturage for
subsistence, thous ands of cattle are be-
lieved to have persisted, while the damage
