The Wyoming blizzard.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 4.-The blizzard
seems to have spent its fury in Wyoming,
and is is thought the worst is over. No
idea of the probable loss to stock on the
ranges can yet be given, but it is the
opinion of the best informed stockmen
that the losses will be found to be great.
No wind of sufficient power to blow the
deep snow off the feeding grounds has pre-
vailed and as a consequence it is argued
the cattle and sheep which have been
driven to cover have persisted in great
numbers. For the stock which have been
cared for and which have survived the
unprecedented snow little hope is held
out,

been made by General Miles in which the
quality of the beef furnished the troops
during the late war was brought IN queS-

The matter was discussed at some
length at todays cabinet meeting, ana al,
Though no definite decision was reached
the consensus OF opinion was that Suen
proceedings should be had. 1t was argued
if the packers who had furnished Deel 10
the army had fraudulently supplied the

had right to know it and ii the charges
had no foundation the people had an
equal right to know that fact. >,
It was also agreed that Miles should

be used for the purpose were indicated
and the glasses ordered at the manu-

themselves in vain and almost blew
the breath out of their bodies in the
endeavor to obtain the desired size.
The commission must be executed,
that was self evident, but how?
A great premium was offered to the
one who could solve the problem. Again
the human bellows toiled and pulled.
Their object seemed unattainable,
when at last a long bearded Russian
stepped forward and declared that he
could do it; he had strong lungs; he
would only rinse his mouth first with
little water to refresh them.
He applied his mouth to the pipe and
