ST. PETERSBURG, Friday, Feb s.
Minister of Finance De White is prepar-

ganiZation of the ST. Petersburg bourse,
which was announced about year ago.
A new section for transactions in public
funds will be created which will be SO

responsible for its success. The minister
will appoint all the members of the coun-
eli until the organization is perfected,
and will retain permanently the right to
confer the choice of council members by
the active members of the bourse for
public funds. He will also name sixty
members of the bourse, and will perma-
nently retain at his disposal sixty active
memberships. Upon his initiative any
member may be expelled or excluded from
participation in the assembly. The in
stitute of the brokers will be placed
under stricter supervision. When nomi-
mated by the minister each will have to
make a deposit of 5000 rubles The

TIED UP

Vicinity of Cory, Pa, Reports Half
Dozen Feet of Snow
on the Country
Roads.

CORY, Pa, Feb. 20.-In the history of
this region no storm ever before. reached
the fury of today's blizzard With half
a dozen feet of snow on country roads
and outlying city districts, Hatch street
buried under twelve feet of snow, CORY
caught about the worst part of the
storm A heavy fall Of snow accom-
panied by fierce wind of great velocity
set in last evening and has continued
with undated vigor. It is still raging
tonight. The railways recognized the
fact that they had no ordinary storm to
contend with and made hurried prepara-
lions to fight the elements. The West
ern New York & Pennsylvania railways
accommodation train, due here at S:45
a. M, was stalled in a drift higher than
the engines stack, while rushing down
the summit, huge grade south of this
city. 1t was dug out with difficulty and
again started on its precarious journey
toward Buffalo 1t probably will not get
through tonight. This road is operating
its train with three engines and has
three plows at work on ninety miles of
track. The worst drifts are at Summer
dale, where they reach a height of TWEEN
ty feet in spots. On the Philadelphia &
Erie snow plow jumped the track at
JackSOn'S while endeaVoring to force it's
way through a big drift. Traffic was de-
layed several hours. For the first time
in many years this road has been com
pelleo to use snow plows. The Erie is
also compelled to operate hastily i'm
provised snow plows, something unheard
of on the main line west of Salamanca
The Lake Shore and the Nickel Plate are
running their. trains, but many hours
f"nind time. Farmers cannot send
horse through the snow and are forced
to walk miles for life's necessities. There
is undoubtedly much suffering among
them.

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR KITCHENER

LONDON. Feb. PA special dispatch
from Pretoria says the Beers at Kip

ing Gen. Kitchener's baggage. The train
was preceded by another on which the
commander-in-chief was a passenger. An
armored train drove off the Beers, but
the latter secured the contents OF the
train derailed.
Lord Kitchcner's second narrow escape
from capture calls out newspaper warn
ings as to the danger of his rapid fit
tings by train from place to place. 1t is
considered better for him to remain N
Pretoria than to risk upsetting his care
fully elaborated plan of campaign.
AS Lord Kitchener is now back in Pre-
toria. the inference is that Gen. DeWet
has again escaped from the supposed
Gordon. There is nc further news of Gen
French's pursuit of Commdndant Gen,
Botha in the Eastern Transvaal.
Statements emanate from both Pretoria
and BRUSSELS that MI Kruger contem-
plates returning to South Africa. It
is said that he has just finished writing
a memorial on the war which will be
sent TO the European governments and

report, James NJ. Lynch, president of the

knew all the local unions were in favor
of the agreement which is now being
voted on by them. If the agreement is
ratified by both organiza tons it will go
into effect for one year.
This is the first time the publishers
association has attempted to make such
an arrangement. 1t is hoped the agree
ment may be broadened so as to cover
all possible labor disputes in newspaper
Offices, but at present the press rooms
are not included, as they are not within
the jurisdiction of the International Ty-

ROBBERY OF CITY MONEY
MILWAUKEES TREASURY HAS
BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY LOOT
ED FOR YEARS
FORGED CITY CERTIFICATES
Amount Secured by the Thieves
Is Not Definitely known,
but 1t May Exceed
100000

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 20.-The
Sentinel tomorrow Will say:
Evidence has been brought to light
which shows that the city of Milwaukee
has systematically been defrauded for
years. How much the city treasury has
suffered is not known exactly, but an
investigation which has been conducted
for the past two days by City Treasurer
Billow shows that the city has been de-
frauded out of a sum which is estimated
anywhere from 5000 to 100000, and it
may even be greater.
The manner in which those implicated
have operated was either to raise the
amounts of city certificates given to con-
tractors for work done, or to issue fraud
ulent certificates, sometimes in the name
of living contractors, sometimes in the
names OF men who have been dead for
years The names of members of the
board of public works and the city comp
troller were forged to these certificates
The discovery was made through an ac-
cident A representative of one of the
trust companies which had been loaning
money on city certificates, came into the
city treasurer's office with some orders
They fell into Treasurer Billow's hands
and he Immediately discovered they were
not genuine.
