PASSENGERS sNowBoUND.
Rock Island Travellers Sent to To-
peka in Omnibuses.

The Rock Island west bound train
due to arrive in Topeka at sos p. m
Tuesday became stalled a little way
from the "Y' and the passengers came
on to Topeka in omnibuses. The train
had three engines attached and was
running about four hours late.
When it was found that they would
experience difficulty in finishing the run
to Topeka a brakeman was sent to
Shorey with Instructions to telegraph
to Topeka for a couple of Omnibuses
Two omnibuses were sent out. each
hauled by four horses, and as many
passengers, with as much baggage as
could be strapped on, started to make
the return trip to Topeka.
Progress was very slow owing to the
depth of the snow Stops for the horses
to rest were necessary every five min
utes. They finally arrived in the city
at about two o'clock, very tired and
very sleepy, and glad enough that the
trip was over.
The passengers report that the
weather north of here has been very
much worse than it has been here
A mantle of snow covers everything
around the yards and shops of the San
IA Fe railway in Topeka. Old railway
men say that this has been the worst
storm of its kind for over twentysyear
1t is almost impossible to move any of
the cars standing on the switches
The snow drifted in the central area
at the round house from eight to ten
feet deep. A force of about fifty men
was put to work early this morning to
clear this space so as to get engines
out.
All the switch engines at work in the
yards were double-headed and the reg
ular force was supplemented by all the
available engines as fast as crews
could be found for them.
The three snow plows kept at Topeka
We're in use nearly all of last night and
today clearing the lines east and west.
All trains from the east are on time
1t has been almost impossible to get
any of the local freight trains through
for the reason that all the motive power
is needed on the passenger and stock
trains.
Three passenger trains which were
snow-bound at Dodge City for ten
hours left there this morning al seven
o'clock It is expected that the line
west from Topeka viii be cleared and
regular traffic may be resumed by to-
night.
Santa Fe switch engine No. 2311 in
charge of Engineer VIM Wilson ran
off the track this morning while en-
deavoring to clean a stretch of track.

STORM CONTINUES.
Chicago HarbOr is Completely
BlOckaded.

Chicago, Feb 2S.-RepOrts received at
the various railroad offices in this city
show that the storm continues with
unabated fury throughout the west and
south. The snow in many places in
Illinois is reported from one to two feet
deep on the level and has compelled the
abandonment of many local freight
trains. Passenger trains have been
double headed and are moving
though in most cases considerably be-
hind schedule time. High winds ac-
compauying the storm nave completely
bIockaded the harbor of Chicago and
not a steamer has attempted to leave
here today. Hundreds of tons of ice
are piled around the cribs but no SER
ious result on the water supply is an
ticipated as large forces of men are at
work keeping the intakes clear.
tNeokuk Ia. Feb. 28.=Fourteen inches
of snow has fallen since last night and
business is paralyzed. All passenger
trains are belated and freights are
abandoned.
Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 28-The storm
yesterday morning has moved slowly TO
the northeastward and is now central
over the Mississippi valley near
Memphis. Along its tracks have oc-
CURED heavy rains and high winds.
South of Meridian heavy rains are re-
ported extending to the coasts The high
wind has done some damage TO the tel

Although there is some apprehension
for the safety of shipping, no damage
has yet been reported.

The snow commenced failing Tues

GIRLS SNOWBOTND.
Employees at Wooden Mill Ride Home
in Coal Wagon.

It looked for a while yesterday after
noon as if the 15 girls who are employed
in the wooden mill and live in town
would have to camp in the mill during
the night.
The Oakland cars stopped running
early in the afternoon and when all
hopes of getting the line open were
abandoned the girls gave up hope of
spending the night at home. A soli-
tary wagon loaded with coal arrived at
the mill late in the afternoon. The
girls saw their chance and formed a
Coxey army for the purpose Of captur-
ing the wagon and riding back to town.
The driver surrendered unconditionally
Boards were placed across the top of

dust and falling snow the girls escaped

London, Feb. 2s-The war Office has

Gen. Butler:
Headquarters, Hlandwi. Feb. 2S-5
a. m.-F'inding that the passage of
Langwatchs Spruit was commanded by
strong intrenchments, I recOnnoitered
for another passage of the Tugela. one
was found for me below the cataract by
Col Sandbach, Royal Engineers, on
February %. We commenced making an
approach thereto, and on February 70,
finding that l could make the passage
practicable, L crossed the guns and bag
gage back to the south side of the
Tugela. took up the pontoon bridge on
Monday night and relaid it at the new
site, which is just below the present
marked cataract
During all this time the troops had
been scattered, crouching under hastily
constructed small stone shelters and
exposed to calling shell and rifle fire,
and throughout they maintained the
most excellent spirits Tuesday Gen.
Barton with two battalions of the Sixth
brigade and the Dublin Fusiliers crept
about a mile and a half down the banks
of the river, and ascended an almost
perpendicular cliff of about 500 feet, as
saulted and carried the top of Pieters
hill. This hill to certain extent turned
the enemy's left and the fourth brigade
under Col. NOrcOtt and the Eleventh
brigade, Col. Kitchener commanding
the Whole under command OF Gen. w ar
rem, assailed the enemy's position, which
was magnificently carried by the South
Lancashire regiment about sunset We
took about sixty prisoners and scatter
ed the enemy in all directions There
seems to be still a considerable body of
them left on and under Bulwana noun
tain. Our losses 1 hope are not large.
They certainly are much less than they
would have been were it not for the ad-
mirable manner in which the artillery
was served. especially the guns manned

and protesting against any debasement OF
the country's coin, will aid and abet
such a proceeding because of belief in
any injustice done by Great Britain to
some affiliated race ten thousand miles
away.
If Mr.. Bryan was statesman and not
mere declaimer, and dealt in states
manlike manner with American problems,
we would not be treated to the floods Of
petulant fault-fnding and appeals to pre-
JUDGE which are manifest in all that he
says, but would have instead suggested
solutions, grounded upon principles, and
in accord with the facts Of national his
tory and national experience.
Distrust His Wisdom.
l am sure the American people rightly
distrust the wisdom of one who thus far
in life has been living expression, in
every address he has made Of that best
definition of the essential elements CT
stump speech, namely, to claim every
thing and denounce well.
l am not unmindful of the fact that
there are many conditions in this country
manlike dealing with. There are many

to be remedied. Likewise there are many
prejudices unjustly entertained against
capital, but in neither instance can they
be dealt with to the good of all by any
one who brings to them none of the ele-
meEts of statesman and all Of those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
I believe that more Of the remedy lies
without the pale of enacted legislation
than within it, and that neither labor
nor capital is benefited by public utter
ances ON the platform, in legislative halls
and through the columns of the press to
the effect that there is an irrepressible
conflict between them.
l do not believe any man benefits his
country by being preacher of discon-
tent, strife between classes, social and
political pessimisn, financial disorder and,
continuous financial gloom, despite sur
roundings and widespread prosperity, and
therefore do not believe in Mr.. Bryan.
There are some things in President Nc
Kinley's administration and official acts
l am not in accord with. l do not accept
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-08-31

who stood out against them then ought
not on some new issue, which does not IN
any degree lessen the danger of these fol-
harm, fail to denounce and defeat them.
I do not think that the fact that here
and there may be some elements more
conservative in the party than seemed to
be the case in 1896, makes any difference
Mr.. Bryan still gives official voice to the
party's views, maps out its campaigns
and writes its platforms. Mr.. Bryan's
intimates and advisers are still Populists
and self-seekers, with the added cOntin-
gent Of Tammany bosses. He has neither
use nor care for any man who Is con-
sentative in his views or careful in his
utterances.
Effect on Gold Basis.
If elected President the public must be
prepared to see Mr.. Bryan as chief execu-
tive and those associated with him as
cabinet councillors construe every law
bearing upon the currency and the pow
ers Of the Treasury Department in such
a manner as to nullify as best they can
its provisions in so far as they bear upon
the question Of the maintenance of the
gold standard. His Populist allies boast
that they seek power that they may bring
about the repeal of the existing laws and
to this end they are Mr.. Bryan's cham
pions and defenders.
He can and will keep the country in q
state of ferment and uncertainty in an
attempt to bring about the larger use OF
silver as a redemptive money. The ex-
pertinent is too dangerous one to be en-
tered upon by any on the grounds that
the gold standard is so fixed in law that
it cannot be disturbed, no matter who
may be President or Secretary Of the
Treasury. The law ought to be executed
with a construction favorable to it to
fully carry out its provisions and not In
a manner antagonistic to them. It is
not a perfect law, but can be made so by
it's friends. 1t can be made abortive by
it's enemies once firmly entrenched In
power.
Bryan and Recent War.
It will hardly do for any sound money
Democrat or Republican to support Mr.
Bryan because of a supposed better pO-
sition he occupies than Mr.. Mckinley on
the question of colonial possessions de-
spite his worst position on the question
of the monetary standard. the Supreme
Court, the enforcement Of law and the
right Of private contract. Mr. Bryan's
position can hardly be as satisfactory q
one on an analysis growing out Of the
Spanish war.
He and his friends, in order to put the
administration to a political disadvan-
tage, urged on the declaration of war
with Spain, and when it was over Mr..
Bryan, personally at Washington,
through personal advice and solicitation,
brought into line a sufficient number OF
Democratic Senators to ratify the treaty
Of Paris, despite the fact that 1t provided
for the purchase and taking sovereign
possession of Porto Rico, and the Philip
pines, without any provision for giving
them any home government whatsoever.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-08-31

difference is certainly not great enough
to make any man surrender his convic-
tons ON other great questions to accept
him upon one.
It may also be fairly doubted whether
a man with 50 many erroneous ideas as
to the conduct Of the domestic affairs of
the nation can be trusted to have right
ones when it comes to managing our
foreign properties.
As to Porto Rico.
AS to the question growing out Of the
Porto Rican tariff, I believe the admin
istration made most egregious error, but
as Democracy is now constituted and con-
trolled it stands for nothing so far as a
tariff policy Is concerned. It has aban-
doned all the advantages of its position
on this question, by advocating in its sill
yer policy the very worst kind Of protec-
ton. Mr.. Bryan stands responsible for
making it a party unable to manfully
advocate Democratic tariff doctrine
1t Is to-day under Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship, party emphasizing desire for
special privileges and class legislation, ap-
pealing for the support Of every element
Of discomfort by falling in with and ad-
vocating the particularly special legisla-
ton which such element stands for. Its
demagogy is manifest on every hand.
Raising the Boer Issue.
What thoughtful and inquiring person
can possibly believe that either Mr.. Bry-
an or the delegates at Kansas City are
really deeply solicitous to the extent
which it Is made to appear that they are
70 ho oil Of he L.,
South Africa? Is it not manifest, through
the thin disguise Of love of human
freedom, rights and republican form of
government, that Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers hope for the German and Dutch
vote as determining factor in the cleo
tion because of racial affiliations with the
Beers and supposed race prejudice
against Great Britain, and not because
the question or the integrity Of the Boer
republics is so dear to them?
It Is absurd that the great questions
with which we have to do affecting the
vital interests of the United States shall
be overlooked in debate upon how Great
Britain shall conduct its own affairs, es-
pecially In the face Of proclaimed reaf-
frmation Of the Monroe doctrine, which
means, properly interpreted, that the
people Of the United States shall attend
to their own affairs and let European ma
tons look after theirs.
Confidence In Germans.
Having voiced such a sentiment the
Kansas City convention, under the in
spiration Of Mr.. Bryan, Immediately pro-
ceeds, for political effect, to express a
wish to interfere with European gov
eminent In a matter strictly its own. I
think such politics cheap, and unstates-
manlike, quite beneath the dignity of any
great party or leader.
shall be surprised IL any German vot-
er, heretofore the bulwark of the coun-
try, against every assault upon the in
tegrity Of the country's currency system
