NO CLOUD EXISTS.
Ambassador White Says Feelings Be- tween Germany and U. S. Are Good.

Berlin. February 21. - Andrew White, the American ambassador he,t. presid. ing at an assemblage of 300 Americans who celebrated Washington's birthday at the Kaiserhof by a musical entertain ment. followed by supper and dance. denied that "Deutchen Hetze" (German baiting) obtains in the United States Continuing MT. White said:
 "On the other side 1t has been insisted by more or less well-meaning people in the United States that a dark cloud be- tween the two countries really exists and that in the times of which ancient his- tory makes mention, and especially dur ing our Spanish war, the German gov ernment was somewhat hostile to the United States, or in some manner which nobody seems to be able to give with precision the German government did something which 1t ought not to have done and left undone something which it ought to have done To this answer has been made, if may be allowed here to refer to 1t myself as one competent to express opinion on the subject, with the declaration that the conduct of the Ger man government toward us during the Spanish war was excellent. The German government observed strict neutrality and showed no unfriendly spirit. From first to last 1t never made any sugges- tions or proposals that embarra ssed us in the slightest degree. In fact the con duct of the German government was all that we could desire 1t to be-"
 MT. White also said that 1t has been shown beyond doubt that the revered and beloved sovereign of this country refused to take part in anything that could be construed fI interference in the contest and refused in such a manner as to show that he respected the motives and appreciated the feelings of the American government"

Wires Are Down and TeIs- graphic Communication
 is Difficult
FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK,
 IS SOLID SHEET OF ICE
Washington Is Absolutely Cut Off of All Communication North of Bal timore-All Trains Are
 Reported Late.

New York February 21.-Snow, follow ed by rain and sleet today created in this city and vicinity the most disagree able weather conditions known in many years. The city's streets are in a worse condition than before when thousands of snow shovelers went to work after the blizzard.
 During the evening the temperature dropped enough to turn the downpour of rain into a coating of ice over buildings and trees. In Central Park the big trees creaked under the weight of thick ice. Many branches fell. This condition pre- vailed throughout other parks in the city,
 Traffic on the Brooklyn bridge was al- most at a standstill. Heavy trucks could scarcely be moved with four stout horses each trying to get foothold on the slip pery streets. Street car traffic was every where interrupted and the greatest diffi- culty was experienced on cross-town horse car lines. Four horses were att tached to all of these cars and had hard work getting along.
 Fifth Avenue a Sheet of Ice.
 Fifth avenue was a sheet of ice. It was early deserted by carriages. On Broadway after the theatres closed the scene was one of great confusion. Cabs and car riages drawn up in front of the theatres were handled with great difficulty. Many horses fell.
 Jersey City was hit hard and by 10 o'clock in the evening the city was prac- tically in darkness and there was every indication that the electric service, which is wholly overhead, will be entirely out of order by morning. Trolly cars ceased rum ming entirely late in the evening. At Communipaw and Woodward aven= ues a high-power wire fell across the backs of team of horses drawing an ex- press wagon. Both horses were killed and the driver was badly shocked.
 South and west of New York telegraph and telephone wires were prostrated early in the afternoon, and although conditions improved somewhat between New York and Chicago late in the evening, com munication by wire with Philadelphia and Baltimore was cut off absolutely. Slow communication was restored with Wash ington by way of Atlanta.
 oevere Storm Strikes Washington.
 Washington, February 21. = A severe sleet storm struck Washington today and tonight the national Capital is absolutely cut off from all teegraphic and telephonic communication north of Baltimore and is compelled to depend on uncertain wires to Richmond and Atlanta for reaching the country at large. Aside from damage to wires, however, the storm did no in- jury, the sleet not being heavy enough to do much harm to trees. The storm came from the south, and in travelling north the rain turned into sleet and snow as 1t struck the colder latitudes. It Is said at the weather bureau it will reach the New England coast Saturday morn | ing and will make 1t necessary for ship ping to lie by Clearing weather is ex- pected in Washington and vicinity to- | morrow.
 | Trains on the railroads entering Wash | ington are from two to three hours late.

AMERICANIZLNG PARIS.
Our Business Men are Establishing
 Branch Houses There.

New York Times.
 Every year the number of Americans who do not wait until they die to go to Paris is increasing at a rate that once would have been considered truly extra ordinary, but which in these days of luxurious and rapid transit across the Atlantic-a mere ferry trip to the aver age long-distance traveler--is the most natural thing in the world. For the queen of cities' is still the most beau- tiful and symmetrical of all the European centers of population, and retains that traditional fascination for the inhabitants of the western hemisphere which appears mainly to have been inspired by and to be largely based upon the more or less fictitious reputation as the gay capitaf' bestowed upon her in the days of the sec >nd empire.
 The "gav" New Yorker on his first parison between the metropolis ot the new world and that of France. between the Tenderloin and the grand boulevards of the Latin quarter, would be apt to de mand where the much-vaunted "gayety" came in, but Paris. as a place of perma- nent residence or prolonged sojourn, ap- peaIs to those whose tastes run along more refined lines and whose catholicism is more developed
 As a place in which to do business ParIs ia finding incI easing favor in the eyes ever enterprising. quick to appreciate the fact that catering to the special needs of the army of American tourists whose ranks are swelled season by season will bring a rich pecunia-y reward Thus they have been establishing branch houses there until the heart of the city is fast becoming an American mart.

why is something of a mystery. but the that the original imperial crown or the emperor of Germany is fin the hands of Austria, and that she shows no dispos,- ton to allow It to leave vienna. pour rienne records that Napoleon said on one occasion: .'I have not succeeded Louis XIV, but Charlemagne." and adds that in 1894, shortly before he was crowned. he had the imperial Insignia of that monarch brought from the old Franklin capital and exhibited in Paris with those
 made for his own coronation. But Mr. Bryce, in his Holy Roman Empire, writes that if this is not trick of Napoleon. Bourrienne was in error ,as the regalia of Chariemagne had been removed from Aix-la-Chapelle by Austria in ll9S. The coronation of German emperor would be an event of such prodigious historic interest as to throw all other coronatlons into the shade. Perhaps there are those living who may yet witness 1t.

What the Drummer Said .

Chambers's Journal.
 A capital story Is associated with the name of Dr. Lueger, the notorious anti Semitic Burgomaster of Vienna. Three soldiers once waited upon him as a dep utation, and before d!smssing them he said to one What would you do if the Emperor ordered you to shoot the Burgo- master of Vienna?'
 "I would shoot the Burgomaster." was the stolid reply.
 oh" said Dr. Lueger, and what is your religion?"
 T am a Protestant"
 "In that case, I am only slightly sur prised at you" said the Burgomaster.
 Turning to another soldier, he repeated the question,
 If the Emperor bade me shoot the Burgomastor I woull obey" replied the man.
 And what is your telision?"
 "T am a Roman Catholic"
 Tn that case I am exceedingly sur prsed at you.

Peter DeliveFed From Prison.


 The powers of Heaven and hell are in battle array over a sleeping prisoner The odds seem in helrs favor. The captive has been committed by the cruel and powerful Herod, the emperor's favorite. The prison is the strongest possible, the Tower AntonA. Both guards and chains are doubled. The expectation Of the Jews will soon be gratified Peter. wno was with James on Tabor and in Sieth- semanae, will not be far behind him in martyrdom.
 Opposed to all this is a mere conven- ticle, a prayer-meetlng in the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark. Some common folk are there, including the ser vant-girl Rose. How preposterous this array against the implacable malice d ot by the power of the Herodian prince, and he in turn backed by the invincible might of the worldwide empire! AS well dash themselves against the pillars of Hercules. Infidelity of today would have told them that cursins would do them as much good as praying in such an emergency.
 But none of these refined subtleties daunted their ard,r. They had too lately Lcrd, "as,", seek" knock and their correlates, receive ind have open ed" So instant and earnest prayer con tinues.
