OCEAN LINERS COMING IN.
Transport Catania Among the BeIated
Steamers at New York.

NEW YORK, February 14.-With clear
sky overhead once more the ocean steam
ers began coming in at an early hour this
morning. First the Cunarder Etruria and
Holland-American liner Spaarndam We're
sighted off Fire Island, one before am.
and the other shortly after. Next the
American liner Paris was sighted off the
Highlands a $40 am, her position show
ing that she must have been standing off
shore out of sight of land for some time
Then the Anchor liner Anchoria, from Glas-
gov, was reported in quarantine at 8 a. M
Two other steamers also came in early the
Clyde liner Algonquin and the Ward liner
Macedonia.
1t is believed many steamers arrived out
side the bar during the blizzard and stood
off shore out of sight of land for plenty of
sea room, and that they will reach port
later Among the liners due are La Bre-
tagne, the Gera and Cymric.
The Tweedie Trading Company's steamer
Catania, Capt. Furlong, which left St
Michael's, where she had put in for re-
pairs nineteen Gays ago. and about whose
safety much anxiety was felt passed Sandy
Hook bound in today. The Catania left
Glasgow on December IS. for New York
and put into ST. Michaers on January O.

The Department of State has received
report from Ambassador Clayton at the
CITY OF Mexico showing that the govern
ments of the United States and Mexico have

piration of the former treaty. 1t is be-
HeFed that the new treaty has been care
fully considered and will adjust satisfac-
torily to both governments the contro-
versies which have heretofore arisen from
the exercise of extra territorial jurisdic-
ton.

DIFFICULT To AGREE,
Prevailing Impression That the Joint
Commission Is q Failure

The joint kiFh commission held a session
today and adjourned until tomorrow. A
rumor prevailed in congressional circles
that negotiations were practically at an
end and would fail. but this was denied by
Senators Fairbanks and Faulkner, who are
members.
1t was learned, however that there are
questions upon which no agreement can
now be reached, and the impression pre-
walls that the commissioners found them

NASH is HANNk'S CHOICE
John R. Malloy Sends Out Circulars to Ohio
Republicans.
RumOr mt Columbus That the Ohio
Senator VIII Drop Fight
on MckissOn.
'peeial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star,
COLUMBUS, Ohio. February 14.-John r.
Malloy, Senator Hanna's lieutenant here,
who has just returned from Washington,
where it is supposed ne had a conference
with the senator mailed circular letters
yesterday to Hanna leaders in all the coun-
ties, informing them that George X. Nash
of this city would announce his candidacy
for the nomination for governor in a few
days, and urging them to use their efforts
in securing Nash delegations from their
counties. 1t is interpreted to mean that
President Mckinley and Senator Hanna
have decided to drop Gen. Grosvenor and
make Nash their candidate for the guber-
Material nomination.
VIII Not Fight McKfsson.
Word comes from Washington that Sena-
tor Hanna has concluded to drop the fight
against the nomination of Robert McKisson
for third term mayor of Cleveland.
Senator Foraker and the anti-Hanna
republicans generally are making a strong
effort to secure the state organization this
year. Senator Foraker was in Dayton Sat
ufday and being asked about the coming
municipal elections san: Hang the cleo
ions, let us get the organization.
Evidence that 2uti-Hanua influence is
coming TO the support of Daugherty for the
nomination for governor accumulates
Shrewd politicians who usually try to get
on the winning side are sliding along toward
Daugherty now. Hanna leaders are raising
a cry against State Auditor w. G.. Guilbert
because letters are being sent over the
state written his office stationery
urging Daughertys claims. Guilbert comes
up Tor nomination for his second term this
year and the Hanna men are threatening
MIN with a turning down if he keeps this
up.

THE STREET RAILROADS.
The Capital Traction and Metropolis
tan Nay Be Running Tomorrow.

The practically complete tie-up of the
street railroads which prevailed all day
Yesterday was continued today in spite of
the efforts of the two companies operating
the underground electric system to clear
the tracks of snow The Columbia railroad,
which is operated by cable, did not cease
to run yesterday, and of course was Civ
ing a service much as usual again today.
The snow had become packed upon the
tracks of both the Capital Traction and the
METROPOLITAN roads so that the managers
found this morning the only thing to do
was to set gangs of men at work and have
the entire roadway literally shoveled clear.
When il is considered that both of these
roads cover a good many miles 1t will be
recognized that the task was one of con-
siderable magnitude. However, large forces
of men Were put to work. In the case of
the Capital Traction Company it was re-
ported that they had some 500 men busily
employed at different points along the sys-
TEN shove,ing snow, while the Metropolitan
people reported they had loo men en-
ployed. By l o'clock today such progress
had been made on the latter road that
snow plough got nearly far as the Capt.
toll from the power house at 10Th and East
Capitol streets.
Some Time Tomorrow.
If everything goes well it is expected by
those who are in charge of these roads
that they will be able to resume operation
of them some time tomorrow. However,
there are several chances for failure, so
that this prediction is not made with any
degree of confidence on the part of either
company.
AS TO the suburban roads, all that can be
said about them at this time is that they
will be run as soon as the tracks can be
cleared. but when that will be there is no
definite information.
The Snow Filled Conduits.
The problem presented to the managers
of the underground electric roads at pres
ent is an entirely novel one in the history
of the of this form of motive power.
The new feature in the present situation is
the fact that the conduits are packed with
snow, and the question is how is that diff
Guilty to be oven come and the conduits
cleared sufficiently to allow access to the
conductor bars a each side of the conduit
near the top.

Associated Charities Afording Relief
to Deserving Poor.

The agents of the Associated Charities
have been busy all day again relieving the
necessities of the poor. and large amount
of food and clothing which had been sent
to the office has been distributed.
Havener's bakery gave today 800 loaves
of bread, and the Lown Coffee Company
gave fifty pounds of coffee, A. S. gave fifty
pounds of coffee and large supply of roll
ed oats were sent in by some one who did
not leave the name. Mrs. Ct. 3. WEIGH sent
a lot of blankets.
The secretary stated today that they had
the situation well in hand now and un-
doubt edly would be able to meet all urgent
demands.
Instructions have been given to the
agents of the Associated Charities not to
grant relief to able-bodied men, except
where it is needed to relieve the needs of
their families until their pay can be drawn.

HOGS-Our hog market has been very
uneven all week, varying from sc to 1Oc
one way or the other each day Today
the mixed hogs sold at S435 to $40 The
best brought from $3.50 to $40, while the
heavy rough hogs sold at 81 5 to 81 55
Choice light butchers and prime heavy
hogs sold at $475 toys4.S5. Packers brought
$4.25, and stays and boars from 81 to $3.50.
The market was off sc to 1Oc on mixed
and fully sc on choice hogs.
The difference in the prices paid for
mixed hogs shows that there is a wide
range in the quality. The heavy-rough
hogs are not in good demand and will
not sell well, and shippers should be very
conservative in buying such stuff and al
low good margin.
We would respectfully ask shippers to
compare the prices paid at South St Paul
with those obtained at other Western
markets During the past week the hogs
here have sold from 1Oc to 25c higher
than at any other market in the West,
and fully up to Chicago.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. &c. 1899.
CATTLE-Monday' run Of stock practi-
cally opened the Western season at South

range stuff in and the bulk of the sales
were made to Swift & Co., at good prices.
Steers that were fair to good in quality
brought from $3.50 to $4.85, and cows So. rs to
$425. Receipts of Westerns have contin-
ued since Monday to be fairly good, and
the market has been very active. Thin
steers that are not good enough for beef
are selling for feeders and bringing a
good price.
There have been large number of buy
ers on the market during the week, look
ing for feeders, and everything in has
found a ready sale. Prices have ranged
from 1878 to $4.35 for fair to good animals.
Today wednesday,, while the demand
was good, prices offered were not so
strong on the average, and the indica-
tons are that stuff will sell from 1918 to
