IS ENDED.
The Long Controversy Over Cuban
Reciprocity Decided.

Washington, March 19.-The advo-
Gates of Cuban reciprocity scored de-
cisive victory Tuesday night at the
conference Of republican members of
the house of Representative the prop
osition of Chairman Payne, of the
ways and means committee, for 20
per cent. reduction of duty, with the
Sibley amendment, limiting the dura-
tion of the reduced rates to December
!, 1908, being adopted by vote of IS
yeas to 81 nays. This result was
reached at 1880 o'clock, after a pro-
tracted debate followed by a series of
exciting roll calls. The first test was
when Mr.. Payne concluded the speech
making with a motion for the previous
question on all pending propositions.
This motion prevailed, rs to Sc. A
vote was then taken on a substitute
offered by Mr.. Dick CO., in behalf of
those opposing the reciprocity plan, Of
fering in its stead plan of direct pay
ment to Cuba covering several years.

The City of Detroit has full cargo
of freight aboard and despite the
cold rs passengers made the trip.
The vessel is equipped with wireless

STILL TIED UP.
Clear Their Lines-The Greatest
Snow blockade on Record.


st. Paul, Mimi, March 19.-Notwith-
standing desperate efforts to clear the
tracks, neither the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific or 500 lines had man
aged to clear even the main lines. The
Northern Pacific still has so miles of
track buried under drifts. The Great
Northern was in the same predica-
ment. There will be no trains in st.
Paul from the Pacific coast before this
afternoon. This widens the gap be-
tween trains to 100 hours, or five full
days, which is the greatest blockade in
the history of the northwestern rail-
roads. 1t will be more than a week be-
fore all lines are in operation. The
blockade will probably cost the rail-
roads half million dollars. The great
loss comes in the destruction of per-
ishable freight, in the heavy cost of
clearing the tracks, etc. Including
branch lines in North Dakota, each rail-
road has had from 200 to 300 miles of
track buried from sight. There is one
good result from the snowstorm. It
will soften and moisten the prairie
lands for early spring blowing.
The loss of life and property caused
BY the storm is still largely matter
of conjecture. But five authenticated
cases of loss of human life have. so
far been reported. There are rumors
that there have been lives lost among
the new settlers, but these lack con-
firmation. The percentage of loss to
hive stock upon the ranges is far from
being accurately known. Estimates
range from two to 60 per cent, and
it will be some days until anything like
accurate figures can be obtained.

FIVE CHANCES FOR YOUR MONEY

A departure at once novel and pop
ular has been inaugurated by the Tex
La Oil and Refining Co, one of the
largest companies in the Texas Louis
lana field by which that company
makes the purchaser of its stock an
individual owner by absolute warranty
deed of an oil lot in one of the four
different oil fields that this company
expects to fully develop as soon as
possible. These subdivisions are To-
Gated in separate fields, all of which
have been examined by and pro
nounced splendid oil fields by experts
whose knowledge of geology enable
them to foretell with reasonable ac-
curacy the location of oils and
minerals by surface indications. Each
of these lots are the property indi-
yidually of the purchaser, and with
each $25 dollar purchase, in addition
to his stock, the purchaser receives
one lot in No. l and with each $50
purchase of stock the purchaser re-
ceives one lot in No. /, and one in No
2. SIS gets three lots, one each in
Nos. l, 2, 8, and 800 gets four lots,
one in each of the separate subdivi-
slons. The company has let the con-
tract for two guaranteed g. inch gush-
ers on Spindletop heights, Beaumont,
the first one of which will be com.
pleted in few weeks. Invest now
before the advance in price of stock.

AND THE soERs'LL GIT YOU IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT.

al days before definite information IN
this regard can be obtained. There has
been good deal of suffering among the
new settlers, many of whom arrived
but recently and were i'll prepared to
withstand the severe weather, but re-
lief committees from the older inhab-
itants have taken charge of this mat
ter and are doing their best to alleviate
the needs of the newcomers.
Caught Mapping.
The mild weather of the previous
three or four weeks and appearances
of an early spring resulted in many
farmers and stockmen being caught
mapping. although warnings were sent
out by the weather bureau 4s hours in
advance.
At Dickinson, n. D., the stock ship
ping center, conservative estimates
place the losses at 25 to 30 per cent, a
little more on sheep than on cattle.
The storm came up gradually on the
14th, and stockmen had ample warn
ing, but it is feared that the fine
weather had made them careless.
Many streams were swollen, and
among herds and flocks scattered on
the prairie the loss must be consider
able. In the broken country the loss
will be much less than in the open
country. Banker Moss, of Billings, I'M
loaded 1900 sheep on the prairies west
of Wibaux just before the storm, and
it is reported that he has already lost
5000. A dispatch from Heron, S. D.,
says 500 sheep and 100 head of cattle
are estimated to have persisted in
Beadle county.
Opening Railway Lines.
With the subsistence of the storm
the railroads are bending every energy
to again open their lines for traffic,
and immense rotary snow plows and
gangs of men with pick and shovel are
attacking the mountainous drifts that
block the tracks. The Great Northern
has succeeded in opening its line as far
west as Church's Ferry, N. D., and the
road is expected to be clear as far as
Minot this morning. This will open
an avenue of escape for the transcon-
tinental trains on that road, which
have been snowbound at Minot since
Friday night. If all goes well, the coast
train that should have arrived in st.
Paul last Saturday morning will get
here some time on Wednesday. The
Northern Pacific expects to have its
road open again to-day, and its through
trains that have been held in Mandan
in the west and Fargo in the east will
be restarted upon their journeys. Eff
forts are also being made to reopen
the Manitoba division of both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, but it
will be several days yet before traffic
resumes its normal movement.

GIRLS BODY FOUND

The body of the little native girl who
was drowned on Tuesday last outside
OF the Kalihi detention camp, was
found late yesterday afternoon over In
the direction OF Quarantine Island in
about the same place where Welau, a
native, was drowned some months ago
while fishing.
1t appears that the little girl went
out with a number OF friends on the
afternoon OF her death, the intention
being to catch crabs and small FISH.
She got away from her playmates, ven
tured out too far and was drowned,
presumably on coming TO a sudden and
deep depression.
Diligent search for the body was
made in every direction but il was not
until yesterday afternoon that II was
finally found.
