WINDS UNCOVER RANGE
CONDITIONS IN WYOMING ARE I'M
PROVING.
Searching Parties Out Looking fe.
Man Who Has Been Lost for
Several Days.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, Dec. 16.-The
severe snow and wind storm which
set in last Tuesday night and which
has been accompanied by the coolest
weather seen in this state for many
years is still raging in some sections.
Conditions are becoming more favor
able for stock interests, as cattle and
sheep will now be able to secure feed
on the ranges where the snow has
blown off.
From the best information at hand,
it is safe to say that the losses among
stock to date, except in railroad &C
cidents, will probably not exceed a few
hundred sheep. There have been no
losses among cattle.
The loss Of life in Wyoming due to
the blizzard is probably in excess of
ten persons. Five persons are known
to have lost their lives. Of these,
three were herders, one a railroad
mar and the other a woman. Five
herders were reported lost near Point
of Rock and as their dogs came to
town the men undoubtedly have per-
ished. A man named Hemingway,
who left Casper several days ago to
visit a ranch got lost and searching
parties are securing the prairies for
him. His friends believe him dead.

DEEP SNOW IN SCOTLAND
SHEPHERDS AND FLockS LOST
IN SNOW.
Trains Blockaded In England
Snow At Rome.

London, Dec. 1.-THE fall of snow
in Scotland is heiver than at any time
in so years. Several game keepers
and shepherds are missing and the
destruction of sheep in the nov
drifts which range from 10 to 80 feet
deep is unprecedented. The roads are
impossible. Parts of England are
suffering almost equally from the
heavy fall of snow. A train which
was showed up lear Harrington OF
Thursday was only released today.
The frost today is so severe that out
side work has been suspended at
many points.
The storm appears to be pretty gen
eral all over Europe. There has been
a violent snow storm at Rome and sew
eral of the bridges of the Tiber river
have been swept away.
A number of wrecks have been re-
ported from the Mediterranean.

THE PRESBYTERIAN FAITH
WORK OF COMMITTEE NEARLY
COMPLETED.
No Change In Systematically a
Difference in Form Of Ex-
preston.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Considerable
progress was made by the Presbyter-
ian revision committee today and at
the end of two more sessions it is
hoped to have the work to be submit
ted to the general assembly at the
next meeting, tentatively completed
The conclusions reached by the com-
mittee will be printed for the private
consideration of the members until
the meeting of the committee, which
is to be held at Philadelphia, at which
final action will be taken upon them
prior to the report to the general as
sembly. The committee has agreed
upon a tentative. statement of the re-
formed faith in untechnical terms.
It makes 16 articles. This is in
tended for popular use in explanation
of Presbyterian doctrine and is not
intended to take the place of the con-
fession of faith. There is no change
in the substance of the theology of
the church, but a change only in the
forms of expression designed to make
the public understand what the church
believed, the matter now under con-
sideration is the declaratory state
ment intended to explain certain
points in the confession of faith such
as REORGANIZATION and the salvation of
all infants. This is made necessary
because ministers and elders sub
scribe to the confession OF faith and
there are differences of opinion as to
the meaning of certain phases such
as elect infants, etc.
Also the matter of statements addi-
tional to the confession on the gospel
and holy spirit to be considered.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 16.-The
high water in the north branch of the
Susquehanna river is slowly receding
At 9 o'clock tonight it was 25 feet
above low water mark, or two feet and
one inch lower than the highest point
attained last night. All the 1owlands,
however, are still flooded and people
living at Westmore and in the south

large office buildings and in close
proximity to the river front ordinary
pumps were not sufficient to clear the
premises of water, and fire engines
had to be pressed into service. At
Brookside the sudden rising of the
creek, which was fed by backwater
from the river, compelled residents
living there to desert their homes.
Water reached the second story of
their dwellings. and they had to be
taken out in boats.
The bursting of a dam at Parsons,
where the water was stored for the
mines in the vicinity, did much dam

HAY TO BE ORATOR.
Committee Will Invite Him to believer
Eulogy on Mckinley.


Washington, Dec. 16:-The joint
committee of the two houses Of con
gress appointed to make the neces-
sary arrangements for a memorial
service in honor OF the late President
Mckinley, held a meeting and decid-
ed to invite Secretary of State John
Hay to be the orator whenever the
proposed services shall be held.
This selection was made upon a mo-
ton by Senator Fairbanks, who in
making it briefly addressed the com
mittee, speaking feelingly of President
Mckinley, referring to Secretary
Hays fitness for the task and quoting
a precedent. He said no former pres
ident had SO we'll understood congress
as did President Mckinley, and that
3 strong bond of mutual confidence
and respect united him to that body.
He then told how joint committees
hadbeen chosen after the deaths of
Lincoln and Garfield, and how in the
former case Hon. George Bancroft,
and in the latter, Secretary Blaine,
had, upon invitation, delivered memoir
ial addresses before joint meetings of
the senate and house to which the
foreign diplomats, as we'll as the high
officials of the United States were
invited. He then said:
.sFhe selection for this great work,
itsseems to me, and to some l have
~conversed with on the subject, should
fall upon a man who is fitted because
of his personal relations with the pres
ident. and because of his great
achievements and renown. The name
which comes almost %unbidden to the
lips of us all in this case is that of
Secretary John Hay, and it would in

It Will Be Double the Amount First
Stated.
Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 16.-The latest
developments in the flood situation in
Ithaca show that the loss from dam
age to property was underestimated.
The original estimate of 5000, 900 will
be almost doubled, the principal suf-
ferers being municipal and street rail
way companies. Suspension of rail
road and street railway traffic contin-
ued throughout the day and few or no
mails reached the city up to midnight.
Early in the evening the gas supply
was restored. but the electric light
plant is still inactive.

DELueED CONDITION OF. PENN
sYLvANlA IMPROVING.
SOME TRAINS ARE MOVED
Water Gradually Receding and Trains
Started on Some Of the Roads
Growing Colder.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 16:-Advices
from all sections of the eastern half
of Pennsylvania, over which area
Saturday nights storm ragged furious
ly, are to the effect that the waters
Governing the flooded districts are re-
ceding, and that railroad and tele-
graphic communication are slowly be-
ing restored. From Tonawando to-
night comes the announcement that
two others will die from the effects
of exposure.
The damage to property and pecun-
larry loss from enforced suspension of
many industries will reach many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Dozens
of coal mines are flooded along with
hundreds of industrial concerns along
the water ways, thus throwing idle
thousands of men. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 persons have
been rendered idle. The S%usquehanna
river, which rose at some points 20
feet above low water mark is going
down gradually, except in the lower
end of the state, where it is reported
to be rising two inches hourly. Good
reports from up river points, how
ever, has allayed fear and indications
are that the southern end of the state
will suffer little from the swollen river.
The railroad situation is gradually
becoming better. Up to 5 o'clock to-
night, when the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western railroad started a train
for New York, direct communication
with New York was cut from Scranton
and Wilkesbarre, and trains were sent
by way of Sunbury, Harrisburg and
The direct route is only AS miles.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
is still tied up, as far as through SER
vice is concerned. Trains are being
run between local points. The Lehigh
Valley railroad tonight opened it's
through service between Buffalo and
New York City by making a detour
over branch lines, thus passing around
the flooded district. Other railroads,
that are running trains, have their
schedules disarranged which is caus-
ing considerable inconvenience to
travellers.
One result of the storm was the
closing of Broad Street Theatre here
tonight. Frank Daniels company was
to have opened a two weeks engage
ment here tonight and a company,
composed Of over 100 persons, left
Buffalo on a special train at $3.50 Sun
day morning via the Lehigh Valley
road. The flooded section was rech-
ed and the train could proceed no
further.
Tales of narrow escapes from drown
ing come from all parts of the flooded
district. Hundreds of families in lit
tie hamlets have been deprived of
their homes, for the time being. by
the swollen streams, and extremely
cold weather that has set in adds
much to the suffering.
At Newport, a small village near
Allentown, 500 Italians were surround
ed by water and were prisoners in
their homes for sc hours. At Jersey
City 200 Italians working on the rail
road there were driven from their
shanties by the overlooking of Pine
creek.

Killing Cattle,

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 16:-Another
cold wave struck Oklahoma tonight
and from following so closely on the
first it will do greater damage to the
extensive cattle interests of the ter
ritory. Reports from the ranges state
that stock is perishing. A prominent
cattleman said tonight that the loss
as a result of the blizzard will be
greater among Oklahoma stockmen
than ever known before in the his
tory of the territory.
