THE BLIZZARD of 1908 is about to be-
come a thing of the past, but it will long
he remembered as one of the seyerest ara
most widespread that has occurred III
this country for some years. The frost
king was confined to no locality or sec
tion but made his frigid influence feit

LARGER cities distress has followed in his
wake, and thousands of INDECENT people
have barely escaped perishing' In some
nlaces where communities depended
upon natural gas it was necessary to re-
main in bed in order to keep from 1reez-
ing to death. Instances have occurred
where human beings succumbed to
the cold. The ice king is now gradually
relaxing his grip, snow and Ice are sue
cumbing to the mellow sunshine and
man and beast are enjoying conditions

forty-eight hours or more. The cold
weather brought much discontinue to
people in Alexandra, as it did to those
elsewhere, but the supply of fuel has
been such that all could be supplied In
quantities sufficient to keep stoves and
furnaces aglow

bling at eleven O'Clock, went into execu-
tive session for the purpose of continuing
its consideration of the Panama canal
treaty. No quorum being present. a
roll call was ordered, after which, suiii-
Gent number OF Senators arriving, Mr.
Morgan resumed his speech against the
ratification of the treaty.
Mr.. Morgan yielded the floor shortly
after the executive session began to Mr..

mediately started speech fayoring the
omnibus statehood bill, thus demon
strating that the statehood fight has been
transferred behind closed doors.

the filbuster against the treaty and it was
made evident that the democrats gen.
orally are lending aid to Mr.. Morgan.
There is no indication Of break in
the deadlock at the present time.
That the deadlock will be broken is
accepted as certain, but when the break
will come, is not now apparent.

MARnI GRAS BEGINS.

The carnival season was opened In
New Orleans last night by the pageant
of Menus, presenting the myths of the
Dead Men" in series of 20 tabeaux.
The pageant was not considered in all
respects to be up to the standard of pre-
vious pageants, either in conception or
in execution. The streets were, as usual
lined with people and thousands of Wis
itors, and every piazza along the route
of the parade was packed with humanity.
Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root had
another busy day in the city. They
we're entertained at luncheon by the
Misses Miles, and at night witnessed the
pageant of Menus and later attended the
Mouius ball. Attention has been
showered upon them by the social lead
ers Of the city, and they have been
specially delighted with the profusion
of flowers sent them daily.
The floral tributes they have received
seem to have been the most pleasing fea-
ture of their visit.

AProfitable Investment.

st. Louis, Feb. 2O.-A genuine
Da Vinci Madonna, worth thousands OF
dollars, was sold by a second hand dealer
in Carondelet for SO to a st. Louis man,
who sold it to James Hilton, President
of the Hilton Printing Company, for
SO. Hilton declined an offer of $l5,
900 for the picture a few days after he
bought it, and now holds it at $50, 600,
which price, he says, hei not at all sure
is as high as it ought to be. Experts of
New York and other cities, according to
Mr.. Hilton, have pronounced the
Madonna in his possession to be rare
gem, one of those stolen from the Vati-
can over a hundred years ago.

An aIdermanic Scandal.

Chicago, Feb. 2O.-A widespread
scandal was unearthed by the grand jury
Yesterday. Sixteen aldermen ARE already
involved and the investigation of the jury
threatens to implicate some of those who
have long posed as ''reformers. The
scandal grew out of the jury's investiga-
ton into the charges made by the munic-
ipal voters league against Alderman
Hart, that he had demanded So, 900 OF
Architect Graham, to effect the passage
an ordinance permitting high buildings.
The ordinance was passed last winter
and Alderman Hart engineered it.

FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. 20, 1908.

SENATOR QUAY, it is stated, mas de-
clared against the Panama cana! treaty,
and the Presideni has announced he VIII
call an extra session Of the Senate ana
possibly of the whole Congress unless
both the canal and the Cuban treaties
are ratified. The Senate has started
upon what promises to be prolonged
struggle over the treaty, and the legisla-
five situation is more uncertain than 1t
has vet been. Mr.. Quay's new move Is
attributed by his opponents to but one
motive. They say that after having
voted in caucus to ratify the Colombian
treaty he Joined forces with Senator
Morgan and filibustered against the con-
yention and that he is evidently work
ing in the:interest of the transcontlnent-
nj railroads who opposed the canal, and
he has shown his hand just when his
emphatic declaration of purpose is most
likely to prevent action upon the treaty
and possibly result in delaying the whole
canal project indefinitely. The Presi-
dents announcement that he will call an
extra session of the Senate to ratiiy
both the canal treaty and the Cuban
treaty. if Mr. Quay succeeds in prevent
ing such action at this. session, is direct
notification to the Pennsylvania Senator
that his purposes will be frustrated, as
they were in connection with the anti

THE SOUTHERN people are chivalrous
and of a forgiving disposition, nor DO
they hold women responsible for the acts
of their fathers. The President, against
the earnest protests of the people OF
South Carolina, insists upon appointing
colored man as collector of the port oil
Charleston, though such appointment Is
distasteful to the business interests oil
that city. Although this is very goad-
ing to the people of the South, when Miss
Roosevelt went to New Orleans the other
day she was received and entertained by
the people of that city in the warmest
andmost hospitable manner, was made to
feel perfectly at home and all resentment
that might have been felt toward her
father was carefully concealed.

THE CAMPBELL CASE.

The Campbell investigation was re-
sumed in Richmond yesterday before the
judiciary committee OF the House. Mr..
Strobe, though weak from illness, took
up the argument for the admission OF
witnesses to substantiate the statements
of Bowen in regard to the conspiracy
among the jury. The rulings OF the
committee were largely in favor of the
defense.
Rev. E. V. Carson, Judge Campbell
former pastor, was an interesting witness,
AMI denied statements made by Judge
Campbell on the stand.
At the close of the testimony the com
mittee announced an adjournment until
Thursday, when the speeches will be
heard. Each side will be allowed three
hours.
Many believe that Judge Campbell
will be only mildly censured if the House
committee decided against him.

THAT THE people throughout the State
are growing restless over the long session
of the legislature and the little
work which that body is seeming
" doing is becoming apparent. The
country press is calling upon the
legislature to adjourn and go home
and some of the papers openly say that
the four dollars day, which the mem
bers are receiving, is the reason for the
protracted session. Some of them are
even so uncharitable as to say that
many of the members could not earn that
sum in any other capacity than as legis-
lators. Such things would not have
been said of the legislature in the old
and better days. But times change and
men change with them, and as there are
men and men, so are there now Vir-
ginians and Virginians.

Foxes on Ice IN THE BAY.--A
couple of foxes were seen on large
cake of floating ice in Chesapeake bay,
off Plum Point day or two ago, They
were in constant motion, walking to and
fro on the ice as if badly frightened.
Finally the cake of ice separated, and
the two animals drifted apart, until one
made leap and landed on the piece on
which his mate was standing. The ice
drifted very close to shore, and it was
thought they would surely make their es-
cape, but they continued on the ice until
they drifted beyond sight. They could be
seen as far down as Pooles Island.
