TERRIBLE STORMS IN COLORADO

Denver. Col, February Sit has been
many years since the Colorado rail ways
had to contend with such conditions as
those now prevailing in the noun tain re-
gions The loss to the railways in this
state is estimated at SIS, 900 a day. One
thousand men have been shovelling STOW
for several days. Over 800 miles of read

off from communication with the main
lines. Storm hound passengers are fed
and cared for by the railway companies,

thousands of cattle are freezing and starv-
ing to death and nothing can be done to
save them. In Eastern Colorado hay Is

This aroused the antsgonism of Mr.
Bailey, who could not see the excu SO for
granting additional secretaries He knew,
he said, little about the work of legations
abroad but he did know something of
them here and two-thirds Of the time Of
the secretaries was devoted to social func-
tons Mr.. .Hitt remarked humorously
that Mr.. Bailey, OF course. had much
wider knowledge Of the social world and
its duties this n he. But as to the work
OF foreign embassies he had knowledge,
having b. secretary of the legation at
Paris several years. Owing to the pres
sure of work he had frequently worked
until eleven O'Clock at night and often all
night.
Mr. Hits playful reference to MIR.
Bailey's social duties drew from the latter
the response that MIR. Hit attended social
functions twenty times where he attended
them not at all He had but one secre-
tary and he thought that sufficient MIR.
Hit explained that the secretary OF Iega-
tions were not the scribes of the ambassa-
doris but had multitudinous duties to per-
form.
After hearing his explanation Mr.. Bailey
acknowledged MIR. HIT was right and lie
was wrong. The report was agreed 10
and at three o'clock the House adjourned.

A TRIBUTE.
To the Editor Of the Pres:

Death has again been here with hts
solemn tread. and silent step and borne
from our midst one whom we loved and
esteemed. Another form once radiant
with life aud loneliness has faded In his
cold embrace; another spirit of heavenly
origin has returned to the presence Of
Him who gave 1t being. reminding us
that we too are frail and like her must
ere long pass away. Another linz is
severed in the chain Of friendship to be
reunited no more in time. Another
home Is shrouded in mourning, as with
tear -dimmed eyes, and noiseless steps We
linger around :the faded form ere we
bea- 1t forever from our sight away.
But the eye that smiled in joy and
gladness is closed in death, the voice once
heard In tones of love and cheer Is hushed
forever, the lips are sealed In eternal
silence. They have folded the cold pale
hands across the marble breast which
never again will throb with oare and an
guish.
But why should we mourn when
''Life's short dream with her is o'er"s
The spirit once Imprisoned here In pair
and suffering has taken its flight to .
worl d.of, fadeless beauty and eter nal bles-
| sedness to dwell forever with angels and
with God.
1t is not for those who pass away from
the darkness anu SOrrOW tnht surround
us that we should mourn but for those
who lingsr with us In pain and sorrow
for here are lonely hearts and desolate
homes. but there all tears are wiped away
forever. With her we know that all g
we'll, trusting she has leaned her head
upon His bosom, and entered the dark
valley that leads from time to Of ernity,
from earth to heaven.
Jesus, sweet name, the support of tho
! dying, the song of the redeemed. Be II
ours to follow His footsteps that we may
hereafter he raised to glorious homo Al
thy right hand.
LET not your hearts be troubled,
He to lis children said;
I'm God and me believing.
You need not be afraid
81 go to realms of glory,
Yon mansions to prepare,
And / win come and take you
My endless Joy TO share. "
And when he left his people
He promised them TO send
"1ne Comforter, to teach them
And guide them to the end.
Be patient yet little while,
Your labor shall be rest
Earth's frown shall change for Jesus
smile,
Earth's scott for Come ye blest."

Briefly.
Washington, February 3.-For more
than five hours today the Senate listened
to arguments in opposition to expansion
and in opposition to the ratification of the
treaty of peace. The speakers. were MIR.
Money of Mississippi and MIR Daniel of
Virginia. The formers address was COM
paratively brief as it did not enter into
the constitutional phases of the question.
He vigorously antagonized the ratiiica-
ton of the treaty. holding that by such
action the Filipinos would be admitted to
the union as citizens and that if they
were not capable of self government we
did not want them. MIR. Daniel made an
exhaustive argument in which he COW
cred all the points in controversy. His
speech was a brilliant oratorical effect
his picture Of the situation in the Philip
pines and his peroration. in VIII ich he ap-
pealei to his colleagues not to depart from
the history and traditions of the Ameri.
can nation were beautiful specimens Of
eloquent English. Throughout his speech
he received the careful attention OF Sena.
tors and many auditors in the galleries
and at its conclusion he was applauded
warmly.
Mr.. Wolcott of Colorado gave notice at
the opening of the Senate session today
that he yould address the Senote tomor-
row on the subject of expansion. Mr..
Hale of Maine presented the conference
report on the diplomatic and consular APP
preparation bill. Mr. Gallinger of New
Hampshire inquired of MIR. Hale what
success the Senate committee had had in
retaining in the bill the amendments
with reference to the increase of salaries
of the United States consuls at LaGuay-
rua, Venezuela and Pernambuco MIR.
Hale replied that the amendment with

THROUGH A WINDOW.
Imprisoned Dog Takes q Desperate Leap
to Regain His Liberty.

to Regain His Liberty.
A lonesome dog confined in an un-
used store room in David Cohn's build
ing created a sensation last evening.
He had had his nose to the window
a long time, gazing wistfully into the
street. Then he had travelled about
the big room searching vainly for an
exit.
The isolation was too much for him.
After thoroughly prospecting the prem
ises he walked to the front window,
turned his back to it, carefully paced
off distance, wheeled and with look
of desperation in his eyes made a dash
for the window.
He took the impact on the broad of
his skull. There was a report like a
pistol shot. the window was shattered
and slightly cut UP dog landed on
the sidewalk. He kept going at a rate
which would indicate he had no inten-
ton of stopping for mile or so.
The crash of the glass brought a
crowd together in expectation of seeing
a fight.
