Orange Trees in Florida Reported to
BE Coated with Ice.


SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb H.-Letters We're
received to-day from Florida, telling of the
direful effect of last nights freeze in that
State. The orange growers letters are re-
citals of ice-bound trees and fruit that is
ruined by the cold. The price of Florida
oranges advanced this morning in one hour
from the receipt of the Florida mail from
So to s. per box. The crops about Savannah
are total loss. Early vegetation was black
ened and killed by the freezing weather.
The melting snow to-day is adding to the
freezing waters that these plants have re-
ceived.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE
damage done by the cold wave in the State
was confined to the early vegetable crop.
The injury to the city's industry is as vet
merely speculative. 1t is thought the orange
bloom brought out by the open Florida
winter has been injured. II win require five
or six days to ascertain the exact damage
done the orange trees.

Coolest Weather Ever known i'm Ar
knnsns-24 Degrees below.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 14-All records
for temperature in Arkansas have been
broken, and Feb. u. 1889, will be treasured
up in the memory of the oldest inhabitants
for years to come. At IL o'clock Saturday
night the thermometer in the weather
bureau Office registered one degree above
zero. The mercury then began its toboggan
slide ana a a. m. Sunday 1t reached the
lowest on record here twelve degrees below
zero. Since then a slow rise has been IN
progress and at 2 D. m yesterday 1t stood
at nineteen above. There has been much
suffering among the poor as they were lack
ing proper food, protection and clothing ana
fuel being so scarce that it has been unob-
tainable, by even those who could afford to
buy it. One person has frozen to death-a
mail carrier named Brozer.
AT Fayetteville the thermometer yester-
day morning registered twenty-four degrees
below zero. which is about fifteen degrees
colder than has ever been known there. In
the large orchards many trees burst open
from the cold and several horses and COWS

THE MISSING BULGARIA.
All the Passengers and Crew May
Have Been Taken Of.


Have Been Taken OF.
ST. MICHAEL'S, Azores, Feb 1.-THE
captain of the American tank steamer Wee
hawken, which vessel arrived here on Sun
day with twenty-five women and children
whom she took from the HamburgAmer-
lean steamer Bulgaria, which latter ship
was met 500 miles from the Azores islands
on Feb. s. disabled and in d severe storm,
now reports that two other steamers, the
names Of which are not known here, were
standing by the Bulgaria when he met her.
The crew of the Weehawken, the captain
says, were obliged to abandon further eff
forts to rescue those on board the Bulgaria,
it being impossible to return to the Ham
burg-American liner after the passengers
had been saved owing to the Weehawken's
boats being wrecked The crew report that
there is a possibility that the Bulgaria did
not founder
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Hamburg
American line office to-day received the fol-
lowing cable from the home office of the
line in Hamburg: The German consul in
the Azores cables that on account of the
I 4IJs seas passengers have not yet left the
WeehaWken. l am now trying to get some
of them landed and will then cable their
statements. l do not believe that the Bull
gaTia was in a sinking condition. The cap
tain Of the Weehawken cannot say whether
any of the compartments were full or part
full Of water. All the rest is conjecture. An
other boat of the Bulgaria is said to have
been taken up by an unknown steamer.
The message concludes by saying that the
consul will take care of the rescued passen-
gers and crew. He also received another
cable as follows: ''Weehawken being an oil
steamer, probably called at Ponta del Gada
only for purpose of landing Bulgaria's pas
sengers. Two other steamers having as
sisted the Bulgaria, there is great proba-
bility that those steamers took the re-
mainder of the passengers and crew. Those
steamers continued their voyage to destina-
ton and so it is likely that nothing will be
heard for a week or fortnight"
Mr.. Boas said he did not believe the Bull
garia was lost This is the cabled list of
those arrived on the WeehaWken: John Mil
Ter, Mrs. Anna Bergman, Heinrich Berg
mann Child, Miss Ludowiska Szcerbowska,
Mettie Kohn Child, Benny Kohn (child),
Thomas LucZsack, Elizabeth Bergman
Child, Miss Helene Trachmann, 1naz Kohn

ON SHORT RATIONs.
People of Colorado Mountain Towns
Almost Out of Food.

DENVER, Feb. 14.-Seven men on snow
shoes arrived in Leadville to-day from Ko-
komo. They say that Kokomo, Carbon
vile, Robinson, Climax and surrounding
towns are entirely out of meat, sugar,
bacon, butter and eggs. There still remains
which is doled out sparingly. The coal sup
ply is also exhausted. While the people are
not yet starving, they are in serious straits.
All the available men from the towns along
the South Park high line are engaged in
shoveling road from Robinson to Pando,
on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad,
which place they hope TO reach by Friday
or Saturday. The distance is only about
ten miles, but the snow is packed so hard
that only two or three miles a day can be
from Leadville and will be rushed to the
administration towns as soon as possible.
All the mines in that district have shut
down for lack of fuel

ARRIVAL OF THE PARIS. CATANIA
AND OTHER OVERDUE STEAMERS.
Worst weather Ever Experienced on
BuIgaria's People Are Safe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE American
line steamer Paris arrived to-day from
southampton after a most tempestuous
voyage, and, although the passage was one
of the worst ever experienced by the steam
er's officers. the Paris behaved spendidly
and proved herself a stanch sea boat The
saloon passengers. at a meeting held in the
saloon on Monday. presented Captain Wat
kins with a set of resolutions in which they
commended him and his officers for their
splendid seamanship. The saloon passon-
gers raised by subscription handsome
sum, which will be divided among the sea-
men.
The steamer Catania. Captain Furlong,
which left st. Michaers, where she had put
in for repairs, nineteen days ago, and about
whose safety much anxiety was felt, passed
Sandy Hook, bound in, to-day. The Catania
left Glasgow on Dec. IS for New York and
put in at st. Michael's on Jan. g. much dam
aged from gales, after being reported sight
ed at sea as almost a wreck.
Other ocean steamers began coming in at
an early hour this morning First the
Cunarder Etruria and Holland-American
liner Spaarndam were sighted off Fire is
land. Next came the American liner Paris.
Then the Anchor liner Anchoria, from
Glasgow, was reported in quarantine. Two
other steamers also came in early, the
Clyde liner Algonquin and the Ward liner
Macedonia. 1t is believed many steamers
arrived outside the bar during the blizzard
and stood off shore for plenty of sea room,
and that they will reach port later Among
the liners due are the Gera and Cymric.
The White Star liner Germanc which had
her coal bunkers, fire rooms and engine
rooms flooded last night through some one
leaving the starboard coal chute open, is
resting easily on the muddy bottom in her
slip a the foot of West Tenth street. The
hun is only submerged twenty-siX feet at
the bow and tWenty-eight feet at the stern.
A wrecking crew is Al work, and as soon as
the pumps are put to work the steamer will
begin to rise. The damage done will not
amount to much, but overhaulng of the
machinery will be necessary

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE State De-
partment is in expectation of an early report
by cable from United States Consul Luther
Osborne, at Apia, of the events that have
taken place in that disturbed community
since the establishment of the provisional
government. 1t is understood that the Brit
ish government has two war vessels now az
Apla. with another on the way or just ar
rived there. With this force at the back of
the British consul it is not understood how
the British residents of Apia can be OPP
pressed. The provisional government spoken
of in the Auckland dispatches carrying
matters with a high hand is nothing more
than a temporary device, whose every act
will Ia subject to the approval of the three
governments party TO the treaty, and whose
existence must terminate the very instant
