sleet storm started in here at mid
night. Many telephone and telegraph
wires are down.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 3.-For 90 hours
storm of wind and snow has ragged
over Nebraska and Western Iowa.
forming the worst blizzard that has
visited the state for years. Street car
, traffic in Omaha, Lincoln, Council
Bluffs and other cities within the
range of the storm which is central
over this state, was almost at a stand
still, and the railroads are confining
their efforts to moving passenger
trains freight traffic being almost en-
| tirely abandoned for the present.
The storm began at o'clock this
morning and continued until midnight
without sign of abating. The tenn
perature tonight ranges from 10 above
at Omaha to at Valentine, Neb..
where the minimum was reached.
Owing to the suddenness with which
the blizzard struck the country ranch
ers on the ranges were generally un-
prepared for it, and it is feared the
loss of stock will be large.
Wires are prostrated in nearly
every direction, and passenger trains
are generally from three to ten hours
late. Several blockades are reported
by roads running west through the
state. The snow has reached a depth
VI AAOlIl 11NC " 1HCil0S through
out the state, and is badly drifted.
CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-One of the worst
storms OF recent years has been raging
in this city since early this morning
and has caused much damage to tele-
phone and telegraph wires. The
storm commenced with a fall of rain,
which later changed to snow, and to-
| night has changed back to rain. The
rain freezing on the trolley wires has
caused the street car cOnnanieS much
trouble, and a number of the outlying
lines in the suburbs have been badly
| crippled. The storm has been accom-
| panied by gale of 48 miles an hour.
Several persons have been badly in
jured by falls, the pavements being
| simply a sheet of ice.

zard is raging throughout Eastern and

OPPOSED TO A CHANGE.
House Defeats Fryberger's Resolution
for Prison Labor Investigation.

The house of representatives yester-
day went on record as opposed to a
change in the prison labor system by
defeating Representative Fryberger's
resolution for an investigation to be
conducted by the prison labor COM
mittee.
F'ryberger's constituents are urging
him to secure some kind of legislation
that will remove convict labor from
competition with the shoe industry of
Minnesota. He secured a visit Of in
Spection on the part Of the prison labor
committee last week. After the in
specticn Mr.. Fryberger discovered that
the members of the committee were
not fayorably disposed to any change.
and his hopes of securing a bill
through the good offices of the COM
mittee were shattered.
Fryberger is, however, a good fight
er, and he returned to the attack with
resolutions directing the prison labor
committee to prosecute an inVeStiga-
ton to the end that a new system Of
employing convicts might be devised.
The resolutions also empowered the
committee to summon witnesses and
require the exhibition Of books and
papers. The resolutions lying over un-
der notice of debate were called up
yesterday morning. and with them
fight which resulted in their defeat. An
attempt will he made today TO secure
g reconsideration OF the vote Oy which
they were lost.
Mr. Fryberger, advocating the adop-
ton of his resolutions. said he did not
expect to secure a bill, but he believed
an investigation would prove that
there is a scientific manner through
which free labor may receive the relief
it seeks. He wanted an investigation

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
There are as yet no advices from the
allied governments respecting the ma
ture of the next proposal they will
submit to Mr.. Bowen, Venezuelan's
representative, for a settlement of their.
claims, but there is good authority to-
night for the statement that the note
of Mr.. Bowen, addressed to the British
ambassador last night, will result in an
adjustment of the trouble.
At the British embassy today the
most important conference that the
representatives Of the allies have held
among themselves took place. AS a
result of this cCnferetce the foreign
offices in London, Berlin and Rome are
in possession of suggestions which, it,
adopted, Will mean the success of the
Washington negotiations and the rails
ing of the blockade. The allied pow
ers have been again requested by their
representatives to consent to priority
of payment of their claims for limited
period only and equality of all claim
ant nations thereafter. Mr.. Bowen has
stated that he is willing that the allies
receive preferential treatment for one
month, if at the end of that time all
the claimant nations be placed on an
equal basis as to time and proportion
ate payments.
Proposition Considered Fair.
1t is the conviction of one of the
negotiators, at least, that this propo-
sition of Mr.. Bowen is eminently fair
1t involves a compromise of the pow
ers' original request for six years pref
erential treatment, but will enable
them to retain a part at least of their
prestige. The feeling is growing that
B. persistence in their present position
can result only in loss of prestige for
the allies and bad feeling against them
not only in Venezuela but elsewhere
throughout the Americas
AS a result Of these considerations,
1T was agreed at the conference at the
British embassy that note should be
addressed to the governments of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy setting
forth the exact attitude of the United
States toward the powers preferential
demand, the state of public feeling here
regarding 1t and urging a prompt ac-
ceptance of preferential payments for
q period of from one to six months. An
Pnswer is hoped from one, if not all
the allies, within the next twenty-four
hours.
The Hague as Last Resort.
The question of referring the one
question of preferential treatment to
The Hague for settlement, as suggest
ed by Mr.. Bowen in his note tC tie
British ambassador, came up at the
conference, and it was evident at once
that the negotiat0rs were one in their

opposition to calling in The Hague
tribunal except as a last resort. The
British ambassador, in a call on Mr..
Bowen during the forenoon, asked him
regarding his proposition to refer the
matter to The Hague, and it developed
that Mr.. Bowen was no less anxious
than the allies representatives that
the whole controversy be settled here
and now. All these facts have been
cabled in full to the three powers.
Confidence that a settlement will be
forthcoming at Washington in a short
time is based to a considerable extent
on the activity of Baron Won Stern
berg, who has given every evidence
that he sincerely wants the matter ad-
justed without prolonging the block
ade. The president today received a
call from Baron Sternberg, and the
two spent a half hour or more in in
formal conversation on the Venezuelan
affair.
Mexico, Too.
Citizens of Mexico also have claims
against Venezuela, and that govern
ment has been asked to be put on an
equal footing with the other nations
when the time comes for settling up.
Notice of MeXicO's intention was COM
municated to Mr.. Bowen today by the
Mexican ambassador at this capital,
Senor Aspiroz, who Informed Mr.. Bow
Ell that the claims of the citizens of
his country amounted in all to $780, 600.
Mexico adds another to the list of
nations who are lined up against the
proposition of the allied powers for
preferential treatment in the payment
of the claims.
