BLIZZARD IN NEW YORK.
Worse Conditions Have Never Existed
in Many Parts Of the State.

SYRACUSE. y. Y. Feb l3.-North-
ern and central New York are many
feet deep in the worst blizzard Of the
winter and in some respects In recent
years. Over a territory extending from
Rochester to Utica and from Water
town 10 Ithaca the ground is white al
though it is not exceedingly cold. and
the fine snow drifting makes travel
dangerous.
In the cities snow ploughs ana shjv-
el gangs are keeping the street-car
tracks. in semi-passable condition, but
in the country districts. the roads ar,
drifted to such depths that travel is
perfectly impossible. Specials from out
lying towns say that worse conditions
have never existed. In some cases
communication with other villages ex-
cept by wire is entirely cut on.
In Cortland county drifts ten feet
high are reported in the main roads
and travel Is impossible. In the north
ern counties the same story Is told.
Two freight trains on the New York
Central crashed together at Jordan
while the storm was at its height The
work Of clearing the tracks was de-
layed by the snow and before they
could be stopped the limited fast mail
from the east and a passenger train
from the east crashed into the OBJ
Neither was seriously
damaged Trains on all Of the roads
are several hours late.

LINCOLN WAS CHINAs FRIEND.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Minister WI
Ting Fang, in the course of his address
before the Union League Club in
Brooklyn last night, said:
"To the world at large, Abraham
Lincoln will ever be known and hon
ored as the vindicator of human rights
who, by a stroke of the pen. carried
into effect the fundamental principle of
government--that all men are created
equal.
But the one event of that stirring
period which transcends all others in
importance and in human interest is
doubtless the issuing of the emancipa-
tion proclamation. This was the
crowning act of Lincoln's life. one for
which the peoples of the earth, irres-
pective Of race. nationality and reli-
gion, will honor him and revere his
name to the end of time 1t may now

Million Feet Brings $50
Per Thousand.

AT the sale of stumpage on state lands
held yesterday morning in the repre-
sentatives' hall at the capitol, State
Auditor Dunn sold 3O,00O,00O feet of timber
at an average price of Sc per thousand
feet, which is the highest price ever re-
ceiyed in the history of the state. sss
The large room in which the sale was
held was filled with lumbermen from all
parts of the state and bidding was very
active. The highest price paid was $S7a
per thousand for $4,000 feet in st. Louis
county bought by the Mashek Lumber
company, of Hibbing. Several small
tracts which were in demand sold as high
as $3.50.
The stumpage sold is all located in St
Louis and Itasca counties, and consists
of timber which is considered to be in
danger from forest fires. The prices as
appraised by the state cruisers were ex-
ceeded in almost every instance. The
principal bidders who were successful
are: John Nestor, Duluth; Otis Staples.
Saltwater; Cloquet Lumber company.

and the amount thus collected was S., 00
The remainder of the money under the
terms of the sale will be paid as the
timber is cut and estimated by the sur
veyor general. 1t Is estimated that the
total amount to be paid will be SLY. 900. =.
There was also disposed of at this sale
a large quantity of ties. poles, cedar

MINNESOTA is HIGHEST
SHOWS GREATEST PERCENTAGE
OF INCREASE OF WAGES.

According to statistics prepared by
the department of agriculture. there is
a greater number of persons engaged IN
some form of farm work than in any
other branch of labor. In 1890, out of
%. 735, e61 persons, ten years of age or over,
having gainful occupations in the United
States, S,3s5,634. or 36.9 per cent, were
engaged in agriculture. and of these 3,004,-
061 were agricultural laborers.
The main object of the statistics is q
consideration of the wages paid this
class of labor. 1t is shown that those
who work for hire on the farm are q
decreasing element as compared with
the entire farm labor of the United States.
Doubtless this Is due largely to improved
agricultural machinery and its wider In
PRODUCTION.
Farm wages a month by the year or
season, without board and with board
were higher in 1899 than in 1898. TIE
smallest changes in the rate of wages
from 1898 to 1899 were in Georgia.
/ per cent. The highest gain was in
Minnesota, 10, per cent; followed by Wis
consin, 8 per cent; Washington and
Michigan, each per cent: North Dakota.
SIS per cent; South Dakota, rs per cent,
and Wyoming, per cent,
There has been gradual increase In
the rate of farm wages in the United
States since 1879. when it reached the min
imum. AS the demand for such labor, es,
pecially in the harvest season, is st.il
good. and the supply has decreased fully
one-third, the tendency of wages would,
naturally, be upward.
The uncertain character of farm work,
largely dependent as 1t is on the promise
of crops, and varying from pressing de,
mand for help in summer to practically
no demand at all in winter, makes it
difficult to determine just how many la,
borers. gain livelihood ent rely from
agriculture. The figures given represent
the number employed during the year.
but it Is well known that great many

in winter These statistics do not follow

Intimated That Board Will Disap-

ing It's Policies.

regular meeting of the board of
school inspectors will occur this even
ing at 7:30 and it Is intimated that
there will be interesting developments
in connection with the First ward situa-
ton, which has insistently demanded at
tention from the board in one way or
another for some months past.
1t is predicted that the board will take
steps at this meeting to discipline Prof.
S. A. Farnsworth, superintendent of the
Cleveland school, for what is considered
undue activity on his part In attempt
ed contravention of the purpose of the
board.
+ The friction, If 1t may be SO termed.
between the board and the residents of
the First ward, dates back to the pro-
posed discontinuance of the high school
department of the Cleveland school, some
time before the opening of the schools for
the fall term Meetings protesting
against the plan announced by the board
were held in the First ward at that time
and the local feeling ran very high. At
one or more of these meetings Prof.
Farnsworth spoke in strong objection to
the removal of the Cleveland high school
and. by inference at least in condemna-
ton of the judgment of the board.
While it was conceded by the board
that Prof. Farnsworth could not be
some of the members suggested that as
an employee of the board his interest
should be passive rather than active and
demonstratiye.
The idea of disseminating the Cleve-
land high school was abandoned, but the
school board has once more aroused the
residents of the FIRST ward to activity
by it's plans for providing additional &C
commodations, by adding to the Grant
and Harrison buildings rather than
erecting new building. AT recent
special meeting committee from tit.
First ward called upon the board and
urged the erection of a new building.
The dissatisfaction of the First ward
residents on this score has been prtnci-
paily directed towards Inspector Wait
who lives in that portion of the city,
and who recommended to the board to
build additions TO the Grant and Harri-
son schools rather than new building
So strong has this feeling become that
recently committee waited upon Mayor
Smith to urge that Mr.. Wait be not
reappointed at the expiration of his term
in March next. 1t is stated that in this
movement also Prof FarnSworth has TAX
en- an active, if not prominent, part.
1t is reported that resolutions express
ing disapproval on the part of the board
as to the attitude of Prof. Farnsworth
in these matters have been prepared and
will be introduced at the meeting of this
evening.
Architects appointed at the last meet
ing to prepare plans for the proposed
new buildings and new additions to old
buildings will present their drawings.

attorneys, who, while they took no part
in the oral arguments advanced, looked
on with interest.
According to the charter procedure
which has been observed up to date, the
ordinance granting the franchise should
have been adopted last night, and the

mands of sone body at least been over

gressedo and to take another lay over of
ten days. (
In support of it's passage President
Boardnan and B. III. Schriber, of the
Commercfaa club, spoke at length. Mr.
Scriberi ably outlined the necessity of
competition in the lighting field, on the
ground ethat it was the life of every
business. Electricity, he said, was the
light of the future and it was vital to
St Paul that she encourage all the COM
petition possible. He thought the or
dinande drafted was most liberal and pro-
tected the city in every way.
Aid. Knauft raised his voice in protest
against. the grant on the ground that the
ordinance did not exact a heavier con-
SHERATON for the privilege. He contend
ed that parties could be found who would
willingly give s1,09o,000 for such con-
cessi0n. He advocated the Incorporation
of a. provision that would require of the
company greater gross earnings tax,
should such ever be demanded and
agreed to by any other corporation.
Aid Dalllquist said he could not give it
his Sanction because it would throw
hundreds of men out of employment by
cenfralizing heating facilities
AS a minor objection, Aid. Schiffmann
said the ordinance did not. require the
company to go beyond the business and
main residence district in case their serv-
ice was wanted by intending patrons.
Dr. Schiffmann and Aid. Knauft how
ever. were finally appeased by the company
through Attorney Michaels agreeing to
accept amendments eplbodying their
views. These were to the effect that a
greater. gross earnings tax shall prevail.

approved. "A number wanted to send the

LICENSES ARE REFUSED
ALDERMEN DENY APPLICATION
? FOR SALOON LICENSES.

Peter Schneider several days ago flied
an application for a license to conduct q
saloon in the building al the northWeSt
corner of Maryland and Rice streets, but
his request was refused by the commit
tee on license of the board of alde@:en
yesterday.
The action of the aldermen was due to
a heavily signed protest, claiming that
the neighborhood was already plentifully
supplied with saloons. John WEIGH made
two unsuccessful attempts to start sa-'
loon in the same building, and it is claim
ed that SchneiderS application was sim
ply a cloak to cover up the real owner OF
the place.
For some unexplained reason the COM
mittee held up the request OF Ella Weln-
holzer for a license, to conduct q saloon
in the building now known as the EN-
pire theater.
The application of James Hogan for a
license to conduct saloon. at 40S Mime
sofa street, which has been held up since
Sept Is, was granted. Hogan's license
expired the early part of last October.

FULLERTON WAS TRICKED
CI4EyERLY oUTwITTED by SHARP
TELEGRAPH OPERATOR.

Owing in part to an accident, and in
part to the fact that he had a knowledge
of telegraphy, telegraph operator OF
ibis city was enabled to neatly outwit
Executive Agent Fullerton, of the state
game and fish commission yesterday. The
telegrapher had been up the country on
"a shooting trip, and when about to start
for homo he had a fine bag Of game
which he desired to bring with him
packed In his trunk for that purpose
He checked the trunk for st. Paul, and
having nearly a half hour to wait for his
train was lounging in the station when
his trained ear caught thu ticks of a mes
sage which the telegraph operator at
that point was sending to this city. The
message read: Sam Fullerton, game
warden, st. Paul. Examine trunk N. P.
train from B tonight Check No.
S4569. He quickly discovered that the
trunk referred to was his own, and with
out delay he hit upon a plan to beat the
game authorities. Securing a cheap
trunk which he filed with rubbish to give
1t weight, he had that also checked to
st. Paul, and then transferred the bag
gage checks.
When the train arrived at this city the
operator had the trunk containing the
game sent to his home without interior
ence from any source, and then stood by
at a safe distance, while Mr.. Fullerton
seized the dummy trunk and examined
its contents.
