A MOST REMARKABLE STORM.
Suffering in ST. Louis and One
Death-Trafic Impeded.

st. Louis, Jan. 12.-The storm that
ushered in the dawn of Wednesday,
after blowing through the night, was
in many respects the most remarkable
observed in st. Louis in many years.
It began in a snowfall, which, as the
night wore on, degenerated into one of
sleet and rain.
Much suffering was reported among
the poor and shelterless, and many
were cared for in police stations and
charitable organization homes.
One man who has not been identified
was found frozen to death in door,
way at 1888 Franklin avenue, into
which he had evidently crawled for
shelter.
Street railway traffic was badly i'm
peded, and all schedules were aban-
doned in the early part of the day.

DUAL ASSOCIATIONS NOW.
rhe National livestock Associations
Disrupted and a Second Assoc
citation Formed.

Denver, Col, Jan. 1.-THE National
Live Stock association was rent in
twain by the adoption of new consti-
tuition which admitted the packers to
membership and provided an open
door through which the railroads OF
the country may at any time become
factors in thV control OF the organiza-
ton.
The cattlemen, horse and swine
growers, together with representatives
of some of the affiliated industries, re-
fused to agree to the new constitution,
withdrew when they considered its
adoption probable, and formed new
organization under the name of the
American Stock Growers association,
whose aim will be to WELD dominant
influence in the interest of the cattle
grower.
The cattlemen have from the first
strongly opposed the admission into
their organization of the packers, and
particularly of the railroads. They
claimed that these two influences
would ultimately dominate the cattle
growing industry of the country to the
detriment OF the individual grower,
and they refused to remain in an or
ganization which included their rep
resentatives among the members of its
central body.
The detection in the ranks of the
association came after long session,
in which the arguments were at times
torrid, and where the parliamentary
tangles were so frequent and SO COM
pick that it was impossible to follow
them.
In the new organization representa-
ton is to be Of individual members
only. and it will not be an amalgama-
ton of associations, as is the case
with the older organization

kanys.

old Bald Mountain had reared its

born lake exists to mark the spot. Bald
Mountain rose from the Ttbique Valley
few miles from the New Brunswick
line. AT its base were boiling springs,
so warm that one could not put his
hand in them even in winter. A party

guides story is true and that where
the mountain formerly stood there is
now only a muddy looking lake.

LONDON, March 31.-The tone of the
articles in to-day's London papers is
further evidence Of the change that has
come over the spirit of the London
press.
EITHER through bad luck or bad
MANAGEMENT, Japan has not taken full
advantage of her initial success, Rear
Admiral Inglis writes People are talks
ing as though the Russians are win
ming; but, on the contrary, it is only
that Japan has not been making as
much progress as she did at first"
Another expert says: with every
days delay the Russians are bringing
up men and they have had time to
recover from their first demoralizing
surprise, to revise their plans and
strengthen many of the weak points
in their position. They were in con-
siderably numerical inferiority when
the war began. They have something
like equal forces now"
The Daily Chronicle points out that
the war has entered upon the second
phase and says: 'Japan's command
Of the sea is not now quite so certain
as it seemed a little time ago. The ar
rival of Admiral Makaroff on the scene
has, as the Minister of Marine admit
ted in the Japanese Diet, infused new
spirit into the Russian defense, and
the Japanese command of the sea is
now perceived to be comparative and
precarious, rather than absolute and
certain.
Thine is on Russia's side. Later in
the year the Russians may send out a
second fleet and it is all important to
the japanese to defeat the existing
fleet first Admiral Togo will thus do
all he can either to shut Admiral
Makaroff off or entice him out. Adj
miral Makaroff. on his side, will en-
deavor to entice the enemy to an en-
gagement against the Russian forts,
plus the Russian ships.
I'm such maneuvers personal in
l.itiative and resource may count for
much and the advantage here seems
.no longer to be all on the Japanese
side.
In such conditions no prediction
about the war seems safe, except that
it will be long and obstinate. Many
newspapers were very much too pre-
vious in treating the opening of the
first phase of the war as if il were
the beginning of the end. Even if every
thing should go favorably with the Jap
anese arms, it will take them a year
or so to catch uD to the forecasts made
after the first attacks on Port Arthur.
