WORK OF THE STORM.
Elevated Trains Tied Up In Chicago
for a Time - WiRtry Blasts
mt Other Points.

Chicago, March 6. All elevated
trains in Chicago were tied up for two
hours Monday night by the sleetstorm
as effectively as if the entire working
force of the three roads had gone on
a strike. 1t was the first absolute sur
render to the elements of all the ele-
waited lines since they began carrying
passengers.
One man was killed owing to the
sleet. Many persons received minor in
juries from falls on the slippery pave
ments and some were hurt seriously.
Vessels were unable to leave the har-
Dor. Fifteen feet of ice was packed
just outside the breakwater. The fields
extend out for ten miles. Conditions
have not been so bad in years.
Special dispatches show that the
storm extended generally over the lake
region from Detroit westward and
spread over Iowa and the northern
half of Illinois. In southern Michigan
the snow, including that which fell last
week, is now three feet on the level
At Muskegon several railroad trains
are reported helpless in the snow.

OPERATIONS IN LUZON.
Success of Gen. Bates Expedition-A
Number of Towns Occupied
Some Fighting.

Manila, March 6.-Gen. Bates expedi-
ton to southern Luzon, consisting OF
the Forticth and Forty fifth regiments,
a total of 2,300 men, has occupied Nueva
Caceres, province of South Camarines;
Dact, province of North Camarines, and
the neighboring smaller towns. The
enemy resisted at one point and two
Americans were killed, including Lieut.
John B. Galleher, of the Fortieth regi-
ment.
On February 20 the expedition arrived
at San Miguel bay, landed, and in three
columns Immediately pushed inland,
converging upon Nueva Caceres, and
attempting to control the enemy's
routes to retreat.
At Lithuanian, north of Nueva Caceres,
the enemy was concealed in the rice
field and resisted a battalion of the
Fortieth regiment which engaged them
at close quarters with bayonets. After
40 minutes fighting the enemy fled and
Lithuanian was occupied. The Ameri-
cans buried GA of the enemy, whose to-
tai loss in killed and wounded is esti-
mated at 140.
From Lithuanian, the expedition pro-
ceeded to Nueva Caceres, the gunboat
Paragua arriving ten minues ahead
of the troops. The town was found
practically deserted. The Americans,
daily scouting in the vicinity, report
that the enemy have retreated into the
mountains.
The insurgents around Legaspi and
Albay, provinces of South Camarines,

soldiers in revenge burned the village
and killed "a of the enemy.

PROVIDES FREE TRADE.
senator Davis P.c=asts Important
Amen '-,cn. to the House
Porto Ricnn Bill.

Washington, March 6.-Senator Da-
Wis, of Minnesota, Monday offered an
amendment to the Porto Rican bill
in the senate. It's effect is to have
the tariff laws of the United States
applied to Porto Rico upon foreign
imports, but allows absolute free
trade between the United States and
Porto Rico.
He also proposes a new section, as
follows:
For the purposes of this act, the fol-
lowing provisions of the constitution of
the United States are hereby extended and
made applicable to Porto Rico:
The congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and ex-
cises. to pay the debts and provide for
the common defense and general welfare
of the United States; but all duties, inn
posts and excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States.
No capitation or other direct tax shall
be laid, unless in proportion to the census
or enumeration hereinbefore directed to
be taken.
mo tax or duty shall be given by any
regulation of commerce or revenue to the
ports of one state over those of another:
nor shall vessels bound to or from one
state be obliged to enter, clear or pay
0utieS III dHOtHer.
The amendment is as follows:
And II Is hereby enacted that all du-
ties, imposts and excises imposed or lev
led, laid or collected by congress upon
Porto Rico or any products or business
thereof or in relation to said Porto Rico
shall be uniform with all duties, imposts
and excises laid and collected through
out the United States.
THAT no capitation or other direct tax
he n w N Porto
Rico unless in proportion to the census
the constitution;
THAT no tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from Porto Rico;
THAT no preference shall be given by
any regulation of commerce or revenue to
the ports of Porto Rico over those of any
state of the union. nor shall vessels bound
to or from Porto Rico be obliged to enter
clear or pay duties in any state Of the
union;
Nor shall any preference be given by
any regulation of commerce or revenue tc
the ports of any state of the union over
those of Porto Rico, nor shall vessels
bound to or from the ports of any state
of the union be obliged to enter, clear oil
| pay duties in any port of Porto Rico"
Senator Davis says his amendment
speaks for itself. 1t extends the con
stitution over Porto Rico, and by Sc
doing implies that it cannot be ex
tended to the Philippines or other ter
ritories except by legislative action.

Col. Jones. 81 am simply trying to

business to kill them, and make money

early days, used to kill them for
sport. Now deem it my duty to the
buffalo, and also to mankind on this
continent, to preserve the American
bison from extinction. Only n few
years ago countless millions of these an
imals roamed over the plains of North
America. They had an absolute title
to, and possession of, many millions of
miles, as the Indians had to their hunt
ing grounds. They were the invincible
tribes of the plains and prairies. They

miner, of Brazil, was instantly
killed and more than 40 persons severe
ly wounded. Among those seriously
injured, many of whom will die, are:
Thomas Barrowman, both legs broken;
VIII Dodwell, injured internally; William

Samuel Lynch, internal injuries; John
Dickson, back broken; Thomas Davis, both
arms broken; John Little. arm broken;

Charles Alberti, miner from Brazil,
is missing and the body is supposed
to be in the wreckage.
Engineer William Mcintosh and Fire
man Ed Sheehan on the freight train
were injured by jumping when they OBJ
served the impending danger.
The wreck occurred in deep cut in
the center of a short curve. The rail-
road company at once sent special
train and brought the wounded to this
city. All the vehicles obtainable at
the livery stables and from private
homes Surveys were secured to take
the men to the respective homes. When
the train arrived the wounded were
placed in the waiting room of the
depot and cared for by employees of the
company until conveyances could be
secured to take them home. Every
physician of the city has been called
into service and it will require the
greatest part of the night to care for
| those hurt.
The blame for the accident has not
yet been placed, as it was impossible
for the engineer to see the lights on the
caboose of the miners train till with
| in a few feet of it. Hundreds of WON
en- gathered at the depot and graspet
their maime7 and bleeding husband:
and brothers in their arms when they
were carried from the train. The scene
was very touching one. The wreck
age caught fire by an overturned stow,
and the men who were rescuing tn,
wounded were forced to turn their at
tention to the fire to prevent thos,

BANK is ROBBED.
Thieves PIunder Vaults of n Farm

Large sum.

Ottumwa, Ia, March 6.-The town of
Pennington was thrown into a fever of
excitement Monday morning when
Cashier Barry Wier opened the vaults
of the Farmers bank and found the
interior had been rified of large por-
tion of it's contents. The officials of
the bank were summoned and an eX-
animation made, but up to this time
the manner in which the robbers re-
ceived admittance is n mystery. Mr.
Wier, the cashier, left the bank at $50
Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday
in Eldon. He left President f. S. Light
foot and +. ID. Barr, one of the direc-
tors, in charge, and an hour later those
gentlemen set the time lock for 36
hours or until five o'clock Monday
morning, and when the president
closed the vault door and locked il
there was large sum of money in the
vault. just how much they refuse to
state. They had sent 3,400 away, but
there was large sums in specie and
currency remaining. Robbers had
taken all the currency and left several
thousand dollars in gold and silver. 1t
is a mystery how it could have been
possible for robbers to get into the
vault, as the lock showed no indication
of having been tampered with and the
single door to the bank was locked as
usual. 1t is claimed that nearly $17,-
900 was secured by robbers, but the Off
cials claim that the sum will not reacl

was received from F. d. Barr that the
sum was $1,7OO. Suspicious characters

stretched barb wires around a Sec
ton of $40 acres of land. and kept $50
buffaloes for year, without any diff
ficulty. The wire itself might have
been broken by them, but they ac-
cepted it as the limit of their range,
and they had no desire to break it.
The wire offered no obstruction to

no desire to break loose from con-

State Can Hardly win n, suit.

. Columbus, March 6.-Attorney Gen.
eral Sheets has notified the Standard
Oil attorneys that he is ready to ar
que, in the supreme court, the cases
brought by Attorney General Mon
nett to GUST the constituent compan-
les of the Standard Oil trust from
their charter. The Standard attor-
neys will file a motion to strike out of
the evidence in the custer cases all
the admissions made by Rockefeller
and others in the contempt case which
was dismissed some time ago. 1t is
the opinion of lawyers that such a
motion would have to be sustained, as
evidence in one case cannot be used as
original evidence in another. Should
this be stricken out, the state will not
have any chance of winning.

The Lacey bill, after carefully de-
scribing the metes and bounds of the
proposed preserve for the American
bison," fixes the status of the contract
in the following words: "The secretary
of the interior is hereby authorized
and directed to lease to Charles J.
Jones, of Topeka, Kan, his heirs and
assigns, the tract of land described in
section one of this act for a period of
20 years, free of rental charge. Said
lease shall provide that the said
I, \ A., 4
shall place upon said tract of land,
within one year from the passage Of
this act, suitable Enclosures for bison,
and no less than 100 full-blooded Amer
lean bison, of sufficient number Of
males and females for breeding pur-
poses; that it shall be unlawful to sell,
kill, MAIN or destroy, or. otherwise
dispose of or remove from said tract OF
land by the said Charles j. Jones, his
heirs or assigns, or any other person or
persons whomsoeyer, any female bison
except for sanitary, scientific or hui
name purposes, during the continu-
ance of this lease, unless the increase
should be in excess of one bison to each
500 acres of land in said tract, and ex-
cept the excess of one male to every
20 female bison"
The bill is long one, but this extract
| shows how carefully it has been drawn,
in order that the government may be
protected, and the bison protected,
from any possibility of Jones or any
other person being tempted to take
undue advantage of the privilege grant
ed. A penalty is also provided that "any
person violating any of the provisions
of the act shall be deemed guilty or a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be punished by fine not exceed
ing $500 or Imprisonment of rot exceed
ing 90 days, or both fine and imprison-
ment."
"The proposed safeguards in the bill
