SNOW STORM IN COLORADO
TRAINS BLOCKED BY SNOW SLIDES
IN MOUNTAINS.
One Train With Passengers in Peril
Gus Position Mt the Al
pine Tunnel.

DENVER, Col, January "a snow storm
has been raging at many points in the
mountains. The Silverton branch of the
snow slides of large dimensions completely
stopped all movements of trains on the
branch and gangs of laborers are now
clearing the track.
The storm has been heavy in the region
of Tennessee Pass on the main line of the
Denver and Rio Grande, at Florence, below
Cripple Creek and at Aspen at one of the
branches Of the main line. The reports of
the Colorado and Southern railroad showed
the storm heaviest at Alpine Pass, where a
mountain of snow has accumulated.
BUENA VISTA, Col, January 9.-The
Colorado and Southern train from Gunni-
son, due here Monday evening, was caught
in snow slide at the Alpine tunnel and
has been snow bound ever since. A rotary
plow from Como is on the way here, but 1t
is doubtful If it will be able to accomplish
anything, as the storm which has been
raging since Monday has increased and
the reports from the tunnel are to the ef-
feet that the snow Is falling hard and
being driven with high winds
The train is a mixed freight and pas
senger. How many passengers there are
on the train it is impossible to find out.
Unless they are released soon they will
suffer from hunger and cold.
The storm which commenced Monday
evening has developed into a blizzard. All
trains on the Colorado Midland and Rio
Grande are arriving in the city late, and
the Colorado Southern is attempting to run
slides on it's line between here and the
Tunnel

RIOT AT THE FRENCH BALL
POLICE AND VISITORS HAVE LIVELY
SET-TO.
Trouble Started Over an Attempt to
Arrest One of the
Walters.

NEW YORK, January 9.-The French
ball. which started off rather quietly last
night, became faster and wilder during the
early morning hours and wound up in a
general row, in which number of spec
tators were arrayed against several police
men headed by Inspector Thompson.
The fight began over a contention between
waiter whose number and name are not
known and a box party in which there
were an actor and number of friends.
The waiter declared he had opened bottle
of wine for the party at the instance OF
the actor, but the latter Gained that the
wine had not been opened, and he refused
to pay for it. The waiter tried to insist
on payment. To quiet matters and get rid
of the scene one of the actors friends paid
for the bottle of wine and the waiter went
away.
Inspector Thompson saw the latter part
of the scene and, believing that the waiter
had swinded the box party, he decided to
interfere. He after the waiter. He was
not in uniform and as he reached the wait
er he attacked him. The waiter ran off as
fast as he could with Thompson following
The first waiter disappeared in the crowd
and Thompson seized another one thinking
it was the man trying to escape. He ana
the new waiter came to blows.
The fight was all one-sided, as the waiter
was taller than Thompson and heavier,
and he hit the inspector in the face num-
Der of times, staggering him.
Meanwhile the fight had attracted mucn
attention, and nearly everybody in the gar
den ran to that part of ii where the fight
was going on. Policemen in uniform in
civilians clothing, wardmen and detectives
headed by Captain Thomas of the Tender
loin, ran up to what was going on. The

with the waiter. and for a few minutes the
police had a hard time to hold their own.
Finally the crowd was quieted and the
waiter was taken to the station house
where after short time he was released,
as no one pressed charge against him.

Empress Dowager Said to Have no

SHANGHAI January "a newspaper of
this city publishes a letter from Sian Flu

reformed government. According to this
letter the empress dowager offers no oppo-

PEKIN, January S.-Li Hung Chang is

signing prevented them from using the
imperial seal until permission shall have
been received, which permission they claim
to expect hourly.
1t is known here among the Chinese that
the extreme anti-foregn element is now in
power, and that court favorites now advise
the empress dowager. Among these the
best known are Ii Chuan Lin, a cabinet
minister; General Ma and Tung Fuh Sang.

Ambassador White. Interview.
BERLIN, January 9.-It Is understood
that the subject of the lengthy interview
which United States Ambassador White
had yesterday afternoon with the secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, Baron Won
Richthofen, was in regard to the proposal
OF the United States that the powers with
draw their troops from China as
the Chinese government accepts all the ar
tlcles of the joint note, except those relat-
ing to indemnity and commercial treaties,
these being left for settlement at a confer
ence of the powers at Washington or else
where. No final decision in the matter has
been announced, but the feeling in diplo-
matte circles here seems to be opposed to
the lnlted States proposition.

WRECK AT A CROSSING.
Four Persons Injured in Accident Near
Perth AmbOy.

NEW YORK, January "a passenger
train of the Central Railroad Of New Jer-
sey running on the New York and Long
Branch railroad from Mattewan and At
lantic Highlands, was run into by a freight
locomotive of the Lehgh Valley railroad
near the Perth Amboy station today. The
forward passenger car was badly wrecked
and two other cars were derailed.
The following persons were badly hurt:
Elmer Geran and Antonio Tassin Of Mat
tewan, Henry Burdge of Atlantic High
lands and o. w. F. Randolph of Freehold.
Geran was most seriously injured and he
may die.
The accident occurred at a point where
the Lehigh Valley and the New York and
Long Branch tracks cross, about 100 yards
from the Perth Amboy station.
There was a tower house at the crossing
and it is said the signals were properly set
giving the right of way to the passenger
train, which had left the Perth Amboy
station on its way to New York.
The engineer, Dreidach, who was in
charge of the Lehigh Valley locomotive.
admits that he did not have the right OF
way, but says he could not stop his en-
gine owing to the wet rails
