WEATHER AT WASHINGTON.
Three Feet OF Snow and Much Suffering
Among the Poor.


| Washington, Feb. lit is clear
this morning overhead. but the snow
lis three feet deep with drifts eight
feet high. All records are broken.
The city is cut off from railroad COM
municatiOn with the outside world.
Prices of fuel and food have risen
greatly. and there is much suffering
among the poor. Between 40 and 80
persons were rescued, exhausted and
frost bitten. from the drifts. All
through the south records for cold
weather are broken. 1t is 10
above at Jacksonville. Fla, and at
New Orleans six above, nine lower
| than any previous record.
Boston, Feb. 1.-THE city is snow
bound after two days and nights of
| continuous storm. Some drifts reach
the second story windows. Nearly all
traffic is suspended.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE storm
| abated this morning. Nearly three
feet of snow has fallen. Travel is at
Il standstill.
New Orleans, Feb. 1.-THE wealth
er has moderated. The bitter cold
throughout the state caused heavy
damage to vegetables. There was
skating on the outskirts af the city
this morning, the first time since the
war.
New York. Feb. 1.-The first sun
shine came this morning since Friday.
The city is still practically cut off
from communication with the outside
world, as nearly every railroad has
suspended. A number of steamers,
including the Paris and Etruria, came
in this forenoon from the outside
hook, where they were detained by
the storm. The city is feeling the
effects of the storm on the food sup
ply. Provisions have advanced in
price. The suffering among the poor
is intense. Some deaths from cold
are reported.
Atlanta, Feb. 4.-Temperature is
rising here. Throughout Georgia
early vegetables are killed. Peaches
and other fruits are almost entirely
destroyed. Advices from Florida say
it is the coolest ever known in north
ern sections of the state. All fruits

ers have not generally understood and
which is likely to prevent the sm Doth work
ing of the scheme, requires the farmers
whose milk the company takes to become
sharehold in the company. The com.
pu!sory feature Is thus arranged: During
the first two years OF the five years con
tract the company Is to deduct one-quarteI
per cent. per quart on milk received;
and apply this money In payment ol
preferred stock. A farmer shipping
three cans day would thus have
S109.50 deducted every year for thi:
purpose. The company took the ground
with the sales committee that In no other
way could they be sure that the farmers
would stay with them after the expiration
OF the FIVE years. term. A representative
Of the American Agrlculturist who was
present tried In vain to secure the names
OF the capitalists who are backing the COM
pany. He did learn that some OF the pres.
ent wholesale milk dealers In this city are
identified With the company.
ASIDE from this compulsory stock-taktns
feature, q Weak point In the new enter.
prise lies in the fact that not more than
afty per cent. OF the milk now coming to
New York from points wlthia radius OF
say one hundred miles Is included In the
Five States organization, 80 that, IN sup
plying to the company the product IL re-.
quires, large amount OF new territory
must be enterei-terrltory which Is now

cheese. Whether the city market will not

WASHINGTON. D. @. (speciaD. ne
gotiations for the partition Of the Samoan
Islands are going on rapidly and officials
here would not be surprised II the final
agreement is reached In the near future.
The discussion which Is going on in Lon.
don, with the cooperation OF the authori-
ties here and In Berlin, has brought out
certain essential features on which all three
Powers-Great Britain, Germany and the
United States-appear to be agreed. At
the outset It Is said that the determination
was reached that the trlpartite govern.
ment OF the group should come to an end,
and not more than two powers, and pre-
ferably one, should govern the islands. It
seems to be accepted generally that the
United States would be one Of the two
powers to be represented, and that the
island OF Tutuila, on which the harbor Of
Pago.Pngo Is, naturally would fall to the
lot OF the United States. It ts understood
that the British authorities fully coinctded
with this view, and that while the Ger
mans seemed to regard 1t fsvorably 1t was
left open for more mature approval by the
Berlin authorities.
In oonoeding this island aud barbor to
the United States account was taken OF the
fadt that II an agreement was reached on
That point 1t still would be for the United
States Senate to give Its approval to the
arrangement. One Of the remaining ISL
ands, Upolu, is OF much value, while the
other, Savali, Is practically valusless.

rom the Ladysmith garrison weakens It
,bout a fifth of its total strength, and

from the Ladysmith garrison weakens It
about a fifth Of its total strength, and
alters the whole situation very materially
in favor of the Beers, who, once again,
have shown themselves stern fighters and
military strate egists OF superior order.
The disaster cost the British, besides the
m en- lost, six seveD-pound screw guns, and
rs the Boer artillery is already stronger
than imagined, the capture OF these guns
will be great help to the Beers.
The disaster has caused feeling akin to
CONSERVATION, and In Gloucestershire and
the North Of Ireland, where the captured
regiments were recruited, the blackest
gloom prevails, families awaiting with
beating hearts the names OF the slain and
wounded which are fully expected to reach
q high figure. Many homes are already In
mourning in consequence OF losses sus-
tanned by these regiments in previous en-
gagepents.
Pitiful scenes were witnessed in the
streets Of London. Men stood stock still
In the crowded streets scanning the pages
OF the extras. Having read Of a reverse,
such rs does not exist in the memory CT
living British subjects, the men set their
teeth aud walked on with hardened,
troubled faces, while women wept and sew
eral who feared themselves to be personally
bereaved by the disaster fell hopeless and
helpless into the arms OF friends.
At the Government offices no effort was
made to conceal the feeling OF dismay pre-
vallng. One official said:
"It Is inexplicable, and am sorry to say
that its moral effect Is inestimable. We
have lost heavily in many wnrs, and have
had regiments almost wiped out, but tc
have regiments captured, and by the Boers'
1t Is terrible!"
The manIiness Of General Whites avowal
that 1t was his fault has awakened the
deepest sympathy.
An official OF the War Office said:
''It is more likely due to the craze OF oul
younger officers 10 distinguish themselves
obtain mention in the dispatches, and earr
the Victoria Cross than to the fault OF that
splendid Indian veteran General White, IN
spite OF his pitiful avowal."
A dispatch from Simons Town says the
prison ship Penelope is being fitted for the
reception OF Boer prisoners, and that the
flrst-class cruiser Powerful Is expected to
leave Durham shortly, presumably to con-
voy the prisoners to Simons Town.
Colonel Murdoch, Of the First Royal
Dragons, Of which regiment Empero::
William Is honorary Colonel, received
this message on the eva Of the departure
OF the Dragons for South Africa: 81 bid
