4 Fierce Blizzard Raging

Detroit, Mich, March 12.-Nearly all
points in the upper peninsula of Mich
igan report railway traffic completely
blocked by snowstorms. A special to
The Tribune from Bessemer, Mich,
says:
The heaviest snowstorm of the sea
son is prevailing. For forty-eight hours
all trains have been showed in at diff
ferent places. All streets are blocked
with banks Of snow from Jour to eight
feet deep. This, with former SHOWS,
will make a total fall of snow about
eight to twelve feet on an average.
In some places the drifts are from the
top of one roof to another. Telegraph
wires are down and all communications
are by private lines"
Another Tribune special from Hough-
ton says:
"A bowling blizzard for the past
t~wenty-four hours has tied up every
thing. No railroad communication with
the east has been had sine Saturday.
A double-header sent out this morn

S~atisfactory UDderstand.ng Reached
nv the Three Protectorate Powers

Washington, March 13.-After nu-
merous conferences and the exchanges
of notes between Secretary Hay, the
British ambassador, and the German
ambassador, a satisfactory under
st-nding has been reached between
the powers interested in Samoa as 10
the conditions there. This seeks TO
open a new account in lie affairs OF
Samoa and to obliterate the troubles
among officials which have recently
occurred here. To this end, DIR. VIII
helm Solf, who has been nominated
by Germany as president OF the NUM-
cipal council at Apia, to succeed DR..
Raffel, will be recognized by the Brit
ish and United States authorities. Al
ready this recognition is assured, shut
it remains for the consuls at Apia TO
carry it into formal effect IN accord
ance with the letter of the treaty Of
Berlin.
In order that there may be paved the
way 10 an agreeable and harmonious
adju .ment, DR.. Solf will go to London
and make himself acquainted with the
authorities there and afterward come
TO Washington and become acquainted
with our officials, so that there may be
mutual understandings. DR.. Solf Will
reach Washington the latter part Of
this month, and will be presented by
DR.. Won Holleben, the Gran am
ba5sador. He will then proceed to Sa-
moa, reaching there in May. His as
sumption of the municipal presidency,
with the approval Of the three pow
ers, is expected to smooth GU mat
tiers among the officials, and go a long
way toward adjusting the entire mat
ter.
In reaching this conclusion, the Off
Gals Of the three powers have decided
not to attempt a settlement of the Sa-
moan kingship for the present.. That
is left open for adjustment when each
of the three powers have had opportu-
nifty to present full information. In
the meantime the status quo is to be
maintained.
The last advices indicated that Ma
taafa was exercising de facto kingship,
while Malietoa was on board the Brit
ish ship Porpoise and had the support
of the British and American authori
ties.
In the conference leading up to the
present understanding it developed
that DR.. Ratfel was recalled from his
post at Samoa last November, but he
persisted in staying after his recall,
and his presence appears to have had
much to do in pr~ecipitating the trou-
| BILE. DR.. Solf. who succeeds him as
! president, is described as an accom-
plished diplomat.

INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE
Into Report OF a GOvernmentInspector
as TO Use of Condemned Beef by a
Chicago Packer

Washington, March 13.-The report
which Chief Inspector Deboe, of the
bureau of animal industry at Chicago,
testified before the beef court Of in
quiry Saturday he a made in 1894
to the agricultural department regard
ing allegations Of the marketing Of con-
demned meat that had been taken out
of the tanks Of a Chicago packer, will
be the subject of investigation by the
court.
Lieutenant Colonel Davis, the record
er Of the court, today telegraphed
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson asking
him to forward a copy Of the report,
and it was decided to forward the doc
ument Immediately, as confidential. All
information concerning the character
of the report is refused at the depart
ment or the ground that the allegations
made in it could not be substantiated
entirely. On that ground the name Of
the packing concern involved and other
details are not forthcoming. When the
report was received here during the
last administration and the case was
submitted to the attorney general with
a V ew to prosecution
The latter examined the papers n
reported that the evidence was insult
ficient upon which to base a prosecu-
ton and recommended that the regu-
lations of the bureau be changed so
as to preclude any further action of the
kind charged, and that was done
Speaking of DR.. Devoe's report, Sec
rotary Wilson said that if the evidence
was complete he would have no hest
tation in making the report public, but
the charges had not been proved n
the papers, therefore, should be held as
confidential.

sOUR NAVAL
Watched With Great Interest by For.
efgn Nations
Washington Posrl

washington PosL-)
Lieutenant de Faramond, OF the
French navy, recently arrived here, in
company with the French ambassador,
NJ. Cambon, TO become naval attache
OF the French embassy. Lieutenant de
Faramond has had wide experience as
a naval observer, following the Japa-
nese n Chinese vessels through the
China-Japan a and now coming
here to study American naval methods.
Speaking Of the American navy, Lieu
tenant de Faramond said:
The American navy has attracted
worldwide attention within the last
year, and this is lea ling European
countries to send ava attaches 10
Washington. This will be the first
time that the French has
mad a naval at-achee with the e.nbas--
sly. \ German raval officer Is coming
to the German embassy. and othe.
countries doubtless will follow in the
same line. Since the Spanish-Ameri-
can war this country affords splendid
facilities for naval study. 1t was the
cal lCSN "a I1OdCI ISHllIS wee
sells, and naval science must draw its
conclusions largely from what the
American navy accomplished during
the war with Spain.
4 think it is universally conceded in
Europe that the American navy made
a splendid record, not only in a general
way, but in technical matters of naval
Getail. 1t demonstrated the effective
ness of the rapid-1ire guns Of medium
caliber rather than the larger guns. 1t
also seemed to show that the power
Of a navy is more in its weapons of at
ack and o~ffense, it's capability of Civ
ing blows, rather than in it's heavy
rmor and capability of resisting blows.
We in France were quite aware of
the growing power Of the American
navy ever before the recent war. Our
! chief naval constructor, NJ. Berlin,
came to this country prior to the war
and made a tour Of our dock yards,
~arsenals, etc. On his return he made
an official report, showing the great
Improvement the American naval con-
structors a brought about, particu-
| ldrly in the arrangement of brllkheads
and in the distribution of armor SO as
to protect vital points. We also know
your American armOr and are using
the Harveyized American process,
! which has been found entirely satisfac-
tory thus far"
| Lieutenant de F'aramond says for
| eign naval observers are not only in
| tereSted in the results Of the war, but
/, are also observing the large amount Of
naval construction now in progress in

fifty years, chiefly for the negroes in
the West, the Chinese on the Pacific
coast, and the Southern Highlanders.

Kipling to Go TO England

New York, March 13.-Though Mr..
Kipling has made no definite plans for
the immediate future, an intimate
friend said this morning his visit to
this country will probably be a short
one. So soon as he is strong enough
he will go to Brattleboro, VT, for a few
weeks. In all probability he will re-
turn to England early in the spring.
He will not go to Mexico.
Mr.. Kipling continued to improve
during the day and evening. Mr.. Dou-
bleday came down stairs about 10
o'clock tonight and said that Mr.. Kip
ling had been reading the newspapers
during the day. He scanned the papers
eagerly, Mr.. Doubleday said, and "a
through them very quickly. He was not
allowed to read a great deal, how
ever.

Our neighbors in Clinton have be-
come unnecessarily alarmed and have
quarantined against Wilmington as
we'll as Norfolk on account Of smallpox.
Norfolk, it is true. has had quite a
number Of cases, but there are no cases
of smallpox in Wilmington. One case
was brought here but it is isolated, and
no danger is felt that it will spread.
MI. Joe N. Jacob, Of our city, who
travels for the N. Jacob Hardware
Company, started to Clinton yesterday
and got as far as Warsaw when he was
stopped by Clinton's quarantine officer.
He was not allowed to go on to Clinton
until he got a health certificate from
Wilmington. He had to send back for
one.
Our Clinton friends are in no danger
from u city, and they should not
quarantine US until there is good rea-
son for doing SO. Our city is mo- even
alarmed about smallpox.

FIJI SPANISH PRISONERS
difficulties I'm the Way of Securing
Their Release by the Philippines

Madrid. March 13.-General Rios, the
Spanish commander in the Philippines,
in an official dispatch acquainting the
government with the fact that Major
General Otis has stopped the negotia-
tions for the release of the Spanish
prisoners in the hands OF the rebels,
says: Il protest in the name Of human
ity, and believe the time has arrived TO
appeal through the consuls to the good
offices of the powers"
The dispatch also says: Il am told
that the Philippines are at wal with
the Americans and that the prisoners
cannot be ransomed for money, as tnar
would improve the position OF the q
surgents. In view of my situation be-
tween the Americans and h Philip
pinos / await the orders Of the govern
ment."
A of the dispatch was sent i'm
mediate!y to Senior Silvela, the premier,
who had a long conference with Cen
eral PolaVieja, minister of war. Both
admit the gravity Of the situation, and
the dispatch will be submitted to the
cabinet council tomorrow.
The government Is perplexed at see
ing no clear solution Of the difficulty.
At the ministry Of war this evening 1t
was aid that no reply would be sent
to General Rios, pending the cabinets
decision. A plan Of negotiating with
Aguinaldo direct without reference TO
Washington has been abandoned, how
ever, and Senior Silvela, in his capacity
of minister Of foreign agairs, will prob
ably MOI await the decision of the cabi-
net regarding the dispatch before COM
