PENNSYl WANNA
 CLAD IN WHITE
A Snow Fall Varying in Depth From
 One to Eighteen Inches.

Philadelphia. Feb. 1.-The heavy snow storm which began in this section at 10 o'clock last night ceased at , o'clock this afternoon, the fall of snow being the heaviest in three years. A high wind accompanied the snow. but tonight the wind is rapidly diminishing The greatest fall of snow occurred at tlantic City. which was the center of the storm this morning. The weather bureau there reports that seventeen inches fell. and the maximum velocity of the wind was thirty-four miles. Cape May reported a snowfall of eight inches. In this city eleven inches of snow was recorded at the wea the. bureau and in the interior of Pennsyl- vania snow fell in depths varying from one to six inches. Snow is reported to be falling tonight in the northeastern mountainous section of the state.
 With the exception of the strandiny of the schooner Anna Murray near IIl- dian river inlet. the life saving stations report tonight no vessel in distress. The steam railroads centering in this city are much hampered. Trains are greatly delayed and in some instances annulled. The greatest difficulty is experienced within the city limits and on the lines leading to New York and the seashore. Trains to the west and south from here had comparatively little trouble.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Today. in lit tie more than an hours time. the sen ate disposed of the treaty with Den mark. ceding to the United States for the consideration of S5, LOCO, the isl ands of St. Thomas.' st. John and St. CrciN. composing a group Of-the An titles knows as the Danish West In dies, and lying just east of Porto Rico. and thus. as far as the country is con cerned, consUmmated the transaction which has been under consideration in termittently since theadmiristrati tior of President Lincoln. The treaty and tha report on it were read at length, and mere or less discussion of the prop7si- tion was indulged in. Mir. Bacon moved to amend the treaty by striking out the second paragraph of article 3 of the treaty, reading as follows:
 The civil rights and political status Of the inhabitants of the islands shall be determined by congress. subject to the stipulatious contained in the pres ent convention.
 He based his opposition % this p-o- vision on the ground that thc oonsti- tuition should extend to the islands when they became a part or the United States. He said. however, failure l' adopt the amendment would not pre- vent his voting for the treaty. for he believed in the Monroe doctrine.
 The amendment was rcjecteI with out division.
 Senator CullOm explained all the pro visions of the treaty ana gave a de tailed account of the islands and their resources. and of their trade value to the United States. He said the pT1vis- ion affecting the civil rights Of the in habitants were similar to the provision on the same subject in the spanish treaty concerning Porto Rico. Mr. CullOm said in taking the islands the United States would assume no burden of debt as by the terms of the agree ment. all claims held by Denmark against the insular treasury would b. cancelled.
 He explained that under the terms of the treaty the United States was to take possession of inc islands as soon as ratifica tions could be exchanged. and he said # would not be necessary to delay that act until the appropria- tion of money to pay for them could be made. The harbor at St. Thomas island. he described as one of the safest and best in the West Indies. and the importance of it's possession from 2 strategic point was enlarged ipon- Mir. CulIoms motion t1 ratify was then adopted by a viva voice vote.

New York, Feb. l1.-New York city has borne the brunt of the iercest storm of snow that has struck this sec tion of the country since the great blizzard of 1SSS. Beginning soon after midnight. the storm increased rapidly until by daybreak the whole city was completely showed under. The rising force of the gale piled the snow in great drifts that for some time almost suspended traffic, except in the main thoroughfares where the car tracks were kept open only by the constant efforts of snow blows and sweepers. Communication between Manhattan and Brooklyn was subject to long delay. The ferryboats with difficulty made trips across the ice-choked riv- CTS. and the work of tugboats. lighters and shipping was generally almost at standstill. So heavy was the snow fall that the loading O. vessels was stopped. it being impossible to keep the matches open.
 Two steamers which arrived during the night struggled as far as Quaran- tine, where they came to anchor. Sev- eral steamers are supposed to be off Sandy Hook waiting for the storm to abate before attempting to enter the port.
 Tonight the local weather bureau re- ports that the worst of the snowfall. which began to abate in the afternoon, was probably over. The fail up to . o'clock this afternoon was 9A inches. There is considerable delay in the ar rival of malls. Ali outgoing mails were closed from thirty minutes to an hour before the usual time.
 All Long Island from Montauk Point to Long Island City is snowbound. All lines of trolley ears were blocked by the drifts. and efforts to open them were of no avail Many thousands of people employed in New York and Brooklyn had to turn back unable to breast the binding snow squalls.
 Eighteen inches Of snow fell in Os- sing. N. Y, and drifts six feet high are common tonight. The trolley service there was abandoned by noon.

GOVERNOR TAFr's PLANS
For the Growth of a Government in
 the Philippines.

Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor Taft, in his testimony before the senate committee on the Philippines today. stated more sucCinctiy than he has heretofore done his theory. which he said, is also the theory of the Philip pine commissioners to what congress should do in the way of supplying the Philippine people with q form of gov crnment.
 His plan is first. to give the people qualified suffrage with a gradual growth of popular government, which should be enlarged through education in the English language and in Amer ican institutions. The second. is to institute within a reasonably short time, a local legislature to consist of two bodies. one to be chosen by vote and the other to be appointiVc. The third, is to permit the islands to send two or three representatives to Wash ington.

A COFFEE SWORD. The old Things Would Bob Up"

Coffee puts its sword into people first one place and then another. You may depend upon it. if you are coffee drinker. and have ailments in some of the organs Of the body, that coffee is doing it's work. You may prove whether it is or not by leaving it off for ten days or two weeks. although it often takes from nine mo1ths to two years to recover from it's effects.
 MT. J. w. Ashby. Mt. Airy. N. C.. says. T was coffee drinker for p years. About three years ago l suf- tered greatly with pains in the region of nay heart and the pit of my stomach. These pains appeared about the same time each day.
 I wondered if coffee might not be the fault SO began the test of leaving off coffee. The pains ceased, but when began to use coffee again the same old pains would bob up 1 have now been using Postum for some time in place of coffee and am entirely cured of the old neuralgia of the stomach and heart.

The War Tax Reduction Bill Twenty
 four Hours Ahead of Time.
 Washington. Feb. 1.-The unexpeCt- ed happened in the house today when the biI! to repeal the war revenue taxes passed unanimously without word ot debate. This action was the outcome of q chanenSe thrown down by Mir. Richardson of Tennessee. the minority leader. after the adoption by a strict party vote of a special order for the c71siderat tion of the bill which permit t-d debate upon it until | o'clock to- morrow afternoon, but cut off all op- ncrtunity to offer amendments except such as had been greed upon by the ways and means committee. The adop- ton of the rule had been preceded by a stormy debate in the course of which the democrats protested against the ap plicatiou Of a gag rule, which. MT. Hay Of Virginia charged. was meant to prevent a free expression. not only by democrats. but by some republicans. attention being especially directed to- ward Mr. Ba abcock of Wisconsin, the father of the bill. to amend the steel schedule of the present tariff law. They also charged that such method of procedure was minimizing the influence of the house and making it simply machine to register the decrees of a .eAr men in control.
 When the rule was adopted, by a vote of 15S to 12O, MT. Richardson. to- emphasize the fact that debate on the bill could accomplish nothing and that deliberation upon it would be fruitless. asked unanimous consent for the bill to be placed upon it's passage. Not an ob- lection was voiced and the vote was taken forthwith, every vote. 21S in number. being cast in the affirmative.
