SHEET DOES DAMAGE
HEAVY FINANCIAL LOSS Is
 CAUSED.
Stocks of Goods Ruined, Streets Blockaded by Broken Poles, and Other Debris-The Telegraph
 ic Service Suffer.

Memphis. Tenn. Jan. M.-The peculiar weather which has prevailed in this sec ton during the present week has brought disaster to all the small and even many of the large towns and villages in the States of Tennessee. Arkansas and Ms sissippi. It Is dificult to estimate the amount of damage. It is known that at Little Rock alone the damage amounts to half a million dollars; and the footings altogether will. 1t is believed. run up several millions.
 Business has been at a standstill In many towns. In addition to stocks or goods being ruined. the streets and high ways are blockaded by broken telegraph and telephone poles. twisted wires. the trunks and limbs of trees and other de- bris.
 The damage to stocks of goods is due to the tremendous weight of accumuiatec ice and sleet and to the insumciency .. roofs to sustain such loads. Denizens ot the smaller towns have been seriously discommoded by the interruption Of wire service by telephone and telegraph.
 Tn the country the losses have been heavy. Stock has suffered and in some sections the wheat crop is reported to DC ruined. 4.
 Such a siege of sleet and cold rain IS altogether unprecedented. In some places the ground has been covered with Ice to a depth of six inches.
 In Central and Western Tennessee the damage to houses and stocks of goods has been enormous. Reports rom Paris. Dresden, Mckenzie, Jackson, Hunt inedon and Union City state that the storm of sleet and rain has been unpre- cedented in those sections. Mississippi has suffered severely. the people being wholly unprepared to protect tnemseives In Arkansas the storm played fearful havoc to houses and other property.
 Telegraph and telephone wires are down in every direction and 1t will be severa days before the extent of the damage will he known. There was rise in the temperature today and 1t is believed thai conditions will rapidly improve.

Washington. Jan. 31.-The House today
 prepared to defend itself against what 1t considers the threatened invasion by the Senate, of its prerogative :n the matter of revenue legislation. by directing ths Ways and Means Committee to investi- gate the subject and report to the House It's conclusions. The action of the House was the outgrowth of the agitation in the Senate of the claim that reciprocity treaties affecting the customs revenues
 can be changed without the concurrencs
 of the House.
 Mir. Richardson. the minority leader
 sought to have the House adopt declar.
 ation upon the subject today without
 waiting for the Senate to commit al, overt act. but the majority leaders were opposed to nasty action and his resoiu. ton was referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
 Several private claims bills were passed.
 When the House met today, Mir. Dal- zeil (Pa.), from the Committee on Rules, reported favorabiy the Tawney resolution introduced yesterday to direct the Ways and Means Committee to investigate the
 question as to whether the treaty making
 power could negotiate reciprocity treaties
 affecting the customs revenues without action by Congress, and asked for action upon it.
 Mir. Dalzell said that the question in- volved one of the highest and most sa- cred privileges of the House. Mr afu xhox 1( txn Committee on Rules, joined with MT. Dalzell in urging the adoption of the res- olution. The settlement of the disputed question in favor of the House. he said. was necessary if the Lower House ex- pected to preserve it's constitutional pre- rogative.
 The resolution was adopted without division. Mir. Dalzell followed this reso- lution with another from the same com mittee. to make the oleomargarine bill a special order for Monday next. to con- tinue until disposed of. MT. Dalzell urged that regardless of the merits of the bill. the House should have an op- portunity to discuss and pass upon 1t. Mir. Richardson (Tenn.l the minorit, leader, saw no reason why this piece Q | legislation should be picked out an' given priority over other bills, Mfr. Underwood (Aia.) was opposed ( the proposed Ieglsiation and declared tha its opponents should begin the fight nov on the adoption of the special order. Mir. Grosvenor (Ohio) also declared him self uncompromisingly opposed to tn
 proposed legislation and all kindred legis iation. The special order was adopted

 Mir. Richardson (Tenn.) presented al
