A LONG COLD SPELL.
seveuty-One Days of Snow Storm in
Colorado.

OOAShoNO'
DENVER. Jan. 5.-Division Super
intendent Seninger of the South Park
branch of the Colorado Southern said
today: 1--WE have had II consecutive
days of snow and storm between Como
and Leadville. In all that time there
has not been a single day free from
snow storms and high winds. The old
settlers state emphatically thai this
winter has been by all odds the most
severe in 25 years. The snow is seven
feet deep on the level from Boreas and
Climax and in many places drifted to
more than 20 feet. The snow is light
and drifts easily. The altitude being
so great there has not been sufficient
moisture to form q crust, and there
will be continual danger and annoy
ancc from drifts until we haYe week
of sunshine and moderate weather to
thaw the surface. There has been no
suffering from lack of provisions and
fuel unless it be at Kokomo."
1t is reported that most OF the live
stock from Breckenridge and there
abouts has been driven down the Blue
river near Keystone, where ample pro-
lection and some bare places for feed.
ing may be found ,on the ranches there
is shed room sufficient for 1000 head of
stock. People are keeping close at
home, the only ones venturing out be-
ing those at sawmills and mines some
distance from towns and these have
been closed down and the operators
have gone to the towns to secure food
and warmth. The only mines open are
those close to towns. For six days all
the mines on the high line have been
without communication.

FIRE PATROL ORGANIZED.

Another Effective Step Taken Towards the

The fire patrol, which will in future

chief while the following persons from
the different companies have been
chosen to do patrol duty.

The organization of this Patrol is
certainly most necessary move TO-
wards the protection of property and
will save many dollar to the citizens
as well as the insurance companies.
1t has always been the case when
there was fire that large number OF
unscruDulous rufiians were in read
mess to carry away anything that was
ungarded. In future, however such
doings will be effectually prevented.
Something has been said to the
effect that the insurance companies
intended to present the members of

TO INVESTIGATE
GENERAL MILES
A Court Of Inquiry Will
Be Ordered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Solicitations 3.
are that a court of inquiry will be
ordered to investigate and report upon
the truth, or falsity of statements
alleged to have been made by General
| Miles, In which the quality OF beef
furnished the troops during the late
war was brought in question.
The matter was discussed ~ some
length at today's cabinet meeting, and
although no definite decision VAS
reached, the concensus of opinion was
that such proceedings should be had.
1t was argued that if packers who had
furnished beef to tie army had fraudu,
lently supplied the article as charged
by Miles, the country had right to
know that fact. It was also agreed
that Miles should not be suspended
from Office as commander of the army
pending such investigation.
IT is not believed any action will be
taken, however, until the war investi-
eating committee has made its report.
which is expected next Monday. No
one outside of the commission is sup
posed to know what the nature Of the
report will be. The method which is
to be adopted, namely, court of in
quiry to pass upon Miles conduct, is
taken to indicate knowledge on the
part of the administration of what the
report will have to say as bearing upon
Miles charges.
The common impression is that the
court of inquiry can be ordered only
upon demand of the officer whose con-
duct is To be made the subject of in
vestigation. While that Is usually the
case, there is, however, reserve
power in the president 20 order such a
court, regardless of the wishes OF the |
officer concerned. The authority is
contained in article lis of the ar
ticles of war, which have the force of |
statutes.

FIGHTING WAS HOT
AND DECISIVE.
Filipinos We're Worsted
on Every Side.

MANILA, Feb. Ga sanguinary en-
counter between American troops ant
Insurgents has occurred
The clash came at $40 yesterda,
evening, when three daring Filipino
darted past the Nebraska regiments a
Santa Mesa, but retired when chal
lenged. They repeated the expert
ment without drawing the sentries
fire, but at the third time Corpora
Greeley challenged .the Filipinos ant
then fired, killing one Of them an6
wounding another.N Almost immed
lately afterwards the Filipinos' line
from Calocan to Santa Mesa commeuc.
ed a fusillade which was Intellectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota outposts replied vigorously.
and held their ground until reinforce
ments arrived.
The Filipnos in the meantime con-
centrated at three points, Calocan,
Gagalangin and Santa Mesa.
At about / o'clock the Filipinos
opened a hot fire from all three. places
simultaneously. This was supplement-
ed by the fire of the two siege guns at
Ballk-Balik and by advancing their
skirmishers from Paco and Pandacan.
The Amerirans responded with a
terrific fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine its
effect.
The Utah light artillery finallv sue
ceeded in silenceing the native battery.
The Third artillery also did good
work on the extreme left, The en-
gagement lasted over an hour.
The United States cruiser Charleston
and the gunboat Concord, stationed off
Malabon, opened fire from their Sec
ondary batteries on the Filipinos'
position at Calocan Sand kept it up
vigorously.
At 2:45 there was another fusillade
along the entire line and the United
States sea going double turreted
monitor Monadnock opened fire on
the euemy from off Malate.
With daylight the Americans ad-
vanced. The California and Wash
ington regiments made a splendid
charge and drove the Filipinos from
the works at Paco and Santa Mesa.
The Nebraska regiment also distin-
guished itself, capturing several
prisoners and one Howitzer, and a
very strong position at the reservoir,
which is connected with the water
works.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
compelled the enemy's right flank to
retire to Calocan.
There was intermittentent firing at
various points all day long.
The losses of the Filipinos can not
be eitimated at present but they are
known to be considerable
The American losses are estiinatei
at 40 men killed and 125 wounded.

CUT OFF Two YEARS.
District Attorneys Will Not Have Their
Terms of once Extended

District Attorneys Will Not Have Theil
Terms of once Extended
SALEM, Feb. 3.-It is evident today
that the promoters OF the bill to in
crease the salaries OF district attorneys
have become slightly alarmed at the
result of their own boldness. Such g
storm of protests has gone up over
that clause OF the measure providing
for keeping the district attorneys now
serving in office until 1902, that it has
apparently been decided to eliminate
that feature.
Today the house judiciary commit.
tee asked leave to amend the bill by
substituting 1900 for 1902, claiming
the figures were placed in the bill as
the result of a clerical error.
The house devoted its forenoon ses-
sion today to the third reading of the
bills. The following bills were passed:
By McCulloch, to provide for the man.
ner of dissolving attachments on
homesteads, and to provide that all
personal property be taxed in the city
or county in which found, regardless
of the residence of the owner: by Hill,
to define the duties of the administra-
tors in payment of claims and declare
the order of priority OF claims; by
Moody, to authenticate depositio ns,
and to restrict payment of witness fees
in criminal cases to with esses travel
ing two miles or more. (The law now
applies only to Multnomah and Clat-
SOP counties); by Hawson, to give
farm laborers lien upon farm pro-
ducts for labor performed; by Myers,
to protect salmon in Alsea bay and
streams emptying into it, aud fixing
the close season; by Flagg, to prohibit
the killing of more than 20 wild ducks
in one day, and prohibit shipping them
out of the state; by Williamson, to
provide for special tax on sheep to
create scalp bounty fund; by Mas
singill, to provide for physical exami-
nation of plaintiffs in actions for dam
ages foa personal injuries.
Senators Smith and Dufur this
morning presented explanations of
their position with reference to the
reapportionment act, which was ap-
proved by the governor while they
were speaking. Both opposed the
double distinction feature of the law.
A message was received from the
governor, saying that nearly l5C, 900
acres of indemnity school land had
been selected by the state land agent,
and the demand for it had been so
great that only $4,000 acres now re-
mained, the price of W hich the govern.
or recommended should be raised.
The following bills we're passed:
By Fulton, to authorize county courts
to permit construction of logging
roads along public highways; by Nc
Kay, to prevent the unauthorized use
of trademarks. The following bills
were Introduced: Mitchell, to incor-
porate the town Of Moro; by Mckay,
to authorize charitable and social
clubs or corporations to changs their
names, etc /; to repesl the Bancroft
bonding act: by Mulkey, to amend the
law relative to conveying patients to
asylum and couvicts to the peniten-
tiary; by Fulton, to provide a more
effective means of collecting a road
poll tax.
