COLD WEATHER
AND HEAVY.FOOS
England in the Grip Of Winter.
Much Discomfort
There.

LONDON. Nov. 16-From II to 20
degrees of frost, unprecedented at this
time of the year, and a dense fog in
most parts of the country are winding
up a week notable for it's abnormal
weather, and are adding to the long
list of casualties occasioned by the re-
cent gales Railroad traffic in and
around London is seriously dislocated,
while train collisions are reported from
various points. hTe worst of these was
on the London, Chatham & Dover line,
when seventeen persons were injured.
All traffic on the river Thames is at
a standstiI, and several accidents pre-
ceded the stoppage. The fog in South
London is so dense that road traffic is
almost impracticable. Omnibus passen-
gers have been forced to leave the We
hicles and walk. Notwithstanding the
density of the fog, the Automobile Club
turned out in force for it's annual spin
today. Hundreds of cars proceeded in
the display and gingerly felt their way
through the darkness.
The channel steamers are badly de-
layed by the fog. There was skating
today in some parts of the kingdom.
Much wreckage of unidentified ves-
sells is still being thrown up. Alto
gether it is known that some fifty
vessels have been wrecked along the
British coasts. Thirty-four of these
have been absolutely wrecked, involv-
ing, it is believed, a loss of more than
$50 drowned. The Yarmouth lifeboat
disaster alone leaves fOrty-four faith

SUGAR IS

Conference Is to
Consider All
Features.
AMERICA ASKED
TO BE A PARTY
German Trust Affects Status on
the Continent-British Tax
May be Increased.

Y ONDON, Nov. ia stir has been
created by the rumor that Sir
IL Michael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor
of the EXchequer, would impose another
tax Of a half penny per pound on sugar,
although inquiries have resulted in dis
crediting the probability OF any such
action. 1t is an unwritten rule of the
Treasury that no Industry shall be tam
pered with two years running, and Sir
Michael Hicks Beach is not likely to
break through hard and fast traditions,
however hard pushed he may be for
funds to carry on the war.
Nevertheless. the rumor has brought
to light a curious condition of affairs.
which would certainly favor the gov
ernment, should it decide to take the
step, despite the tax imposed in the
last budget. The British consumer is
now buying sugar more cheaply than
before the tax was imposed. This is
due chiefly to the surplus supply, but
also to wholesale price cutting by Ger
many, Wnere a sugar trust IS causing
the British sugar trade the keenest ap-
prehension. This German trust will
form one of the chief topics of the su-
gar conference which Is to meet in
Brussels December IA.
Though the United States government
has not been invited to send a delegate
to the conference, 1t is learned that it
could be represented II it so desired.
and one of the leading authorities on
sugar in England is now endeavoring to
secure the attendance of American
delegates at the meeting in Brussels.
Until after the conference, it can be
definitely stated, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach will not take any action, and
then it is improbable that he win run
the risk of further disintegrating busi-
ness, which, on all sides. it is declared,
would be in a sorrowful plight
Replying to a correspondent, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach said the coal tax
would be continued next year, but inti-
mated that it would not be Increased
This will take a load off the minds OF
British coal miners, who have been es-
pecially exercised over the inroads
American coal has made on the Con-
tinent

USE DYNAMITE
TO WRECK TRAIN
Plan to Destroy Fast Express
on Pennsylvania Rail.

YORK, Pa, Nov. 16.-The Southwest
ern Express on the Northern Central
Railway was wrecked last night by a
charge of dynamite placed under the
tracks near Black Ridge, a short dis
tance north of York. The train was
an hour when the explosion occurred.
Passengers were panic stricken but all
escaped uninjured. y piece Of rail two
and half feet long was blown off and
two coaches were deraiIed and drawn
over the ties a distance of 200 feet be-
fore the train was brought to a stop
The engine had its headlight blown off
and the windows Of the cab were shat
tered. The trucks under the express
car and the day coach were badly
wrecked.
A hole was blown in the road bed
large enough to bury man. Where
the rails were broken they were cut off
as If done by shears.
The wreck occurred at one Of the
loneliest spots between Harrisburg ana
Baltimore. The police Of this city ad-
vance the theory that the robbers had
set the dynamite for the Buffalo ex-
press. which is said to carry consider
able money. but for some unaccountable
reason that train passed over the
charge without exploding 1T.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Reports
Of the dastardly attempt to wreck the
Southwestern Express on the Northern
Central branch of the Pennsylvania
Railway were received at the office of
the company this morning. Detectives
were ordered to begin operations from
York and men were also sent from this
city and Harrisburg.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-A dispatch to
the World from Rome says: The Pope
has addressed a cordial letter to Mon
signor Chappelle. Apostolic delegate to
the Philippines, congratulating him up
on his enlightened action in favor OF
religion and civilization.
The Pope. however, alluded to the
American occupation in rather hostile
terms. calling it an 'upheaval and revo-
luton which has greatly damaged the
interests of the church in those distant
regions"

The Senator was invited to lunch at the
