SLEET WAS DESTRUCTIVE
GREAT DAMAGE BY THE STORM
CAUSED AT CLEVELAND.
Many Persons Shocked by Live Wires
-Tramc Suspended-Storm I'm New
York-Indiana Weather.

CLEVELAND. March 1.-The most de-
structive sleetstorm ever experienced in
this city prevailed last night and early to-
day. The streets in every direction were
blocked by hundreds of Frustrated tele-
phone poles and trees. carried down by the
immense accumulation of ice. The entire
telephone system of the city. with the ex-
ception of the underground lines, was put
out of service. Practically every street-car
line in the city was tied up during the
early hours of the day. The trolley wires
were carried down everywhere by falling
poles and trees. Electric light, trolley and
telephone wires were tangled together at
many points, necessitating the shutting
down of dynamos on trolley and lighting
circuits in order to permit the linemen to
work on the wires VITA safety. The cable
roads were also blocked by the Frustrated
trees and poles across their tracks.
The telegraph companies suffered great
damage, their lines being carried down in
every direction. For several hours during
the early morning Cleveland was entirely
cut off from telegraphic communication
with the outside world. The loss to the tele-
phone and telegraph companies will be
very heavy. Fire and police wires were
rendered almost useless, as a result of the
sleet, the majority of engine houses and
police stations being cut off from their re-
spective exchanges. Numerous accidents
occurred owing to people coming in con-
tact with live wires. Several persons were
severely shocked and more or less injured.
Dozens of horses were killed.
Street-car traffic was resumed to-day on
all save three lines. and these will be
open tomorrow. An army of men were at
work opening the principal streets and
clearing the walks. Between street-car
tracks and sidewalks the snow is piled
from eight to ten feet all over the city.
The roof Of the M. /. Wilcox company,
ship chambers, was crushed in by the
weight of the snow this afternoon.
The depth of the snowfall Is reported
as twenty-five inches by the local weather
bureau. Tonight the temperature has
risen, and there are fears that food will
follow a sudden thaw.

The German Meat Inspection Bill.

BERLIN. March DIR Theodore Barth,
the Freisinnige leader, made the follow
ing statement to-day to the correspondent
of the Associated Press regarding the prob
able fate of the meat inspection bill:
There Is a majority in the Reichstag in
favor of the present form of the measure.
1t depends wholly upon the government
whether the bill will pass in that form. L
am in doubt to whether the government
is sufficiently informed concerning the seri-
Gus effect the passage of the bill will have
in the United States and upon the trade
lieve the government will yield in this mat
ter, because the Agrarians control the de-
feat or acceptance of important projected
legislation. notably the naval augmentation
bill"
Views similar to those expressed by DR..
Barth are held generally among well-in-
formed members of the Reichstag.

coast. The first news was brought by
the British steamer Ashlands, Capt
Lewis, which arrived sevral days over
due from Galveston to Marseilles via
Norfolk for coal. Capt. Lewis stated
when about g5 miles north, one quar-
ter east of Diamond Shoals lightship

of large three-masted schooner, and
the only things visible above the
water were the toplnasts. There were
no signs ofsIite about the vessel or
wreckage floating and the sea was
too rough to permit his ship to go
near the wreck. The size of the masts
indicated large strong vessel whose
crew was not less than ten men.
