FITzJoHN-P0RTER CASE AGAIN
SEQUEL of Famous AFFAIR i'm Hearing
of Claims Bill In the
House.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-A sequel to
the famous Fitzjohn- Porter Ease came be-
fore the house committee on military af-
fairs today, when q hearing was given on
the bill authorizing the secretary of war
to compute the amount of pay and allow
ances Of the general during the period Of
his enforced retirement from the army and
making appropriations of the amount to his
widow and children. The hearing was at
tended by several of General Porter's old
comrades n-arms and by his daughter and
sons.
When, at the instance Of General Grant,
an army board passed Upon the case az
General Porter, the recommendation was
made that he be restored to rank and pay.
Acting On this, congress, in 1886, restored
the general to mis- rank, but there was no
restoration Of the pay during the long
period that he was out of the army.
1t was stated at the hearing today that
the present measure was a simple act of
Justice to the family who had suffered
along with the general during the twenty
three years he was in retirement. In this
time. it was stated, General Porter had
given most of his time and means to clear
ing his good name, being unable to make
provision for the future OF himself and
family.
General Charles @. Sawtelle, who served
with General Porter, paid a tribute to his
bravery and ability as a soldier. Genera
w. w. Dudley. who served under General
Porter at the second battle of Bull Run,
also testified to his character as a soldier
and commanding ofhcer.
General Dudley pointed out that the pre-
amble Of the act restoring General Porter
to the army recited the purpose to do jus
tice to him and that the restoration of pay
was but a part of the justice in the case.

LONGEST INTERRUPTION IN ITS CAREER
No Through Trains for One Hundred

ST. PAUL. March 2O.-Business on the
three tra~nscontinental lines which cross
the state of North Dakota has about re-
sumed normal conditions, now that nearly
a full week has passed since the beginning
OF the great March blizzard, although a few
minor branch lines remain to be cleared of
snow. The 500 line was less affected and
got its first train through yesterday after
noon.
The Northern Pacihc's blockade lasted for
1871 hours and the first train from the Pacific
coast to arrive in st. Paul since Friday of
last week came in at 2.30 this morning.
Six eastbound limited trains were caught
in the drifts. Two of them were annulled
and the equipment was used In making UP
trains west of the blockaded area, which
" ere sent back to the coast to care for the
business of the trains sent from st. Paul
and caught by the drifts.
The Great Northern was unable to clear
its through line yesterday, but through
traffic was resumed today when three Fly
ers" arrived close together. The blockade
lasted 144 hours, the longest interruption
of traffic the system has ever experienced.
Though put to great expense to clear the
tracks and suffering heavy losses In traflc,
the railroad officials were much pleased
with the heavy snowfall, because it gives
needed moisture to the Dakota wheathelds.
This fact also seemed to please the new
settlers, over 1900 Of whom passed through

BERLIN, March 20.-The extension OF the
Franco Russian alliance to eastern Asia
has caused a great amount Of Comment and
conjecture In the circles here which follow
international politics.
A few hours before the text OF the note
giving the substance Of the arrangement
was given to the press in Paris the text Of
the declaration was shown to Count Won
Buelow. the imperial chancellor, by the
Russian and French ambassadors here, who
together called upon the chancellor for that
purpose. II does not appear that Germany
was invited to participate In the Franco
Russian declaration and It Is absolutely GER
tain that she would not have had anything
to do with It. Germsny's policy at present
is to keep entirely dear of entanglements
in China that might change to acute con-
