A LARGE portion Of the country is
wrapped in a polar wave which de-
veloped Sunday in the far West The
temperature, however, will moderate in
the next few days, according to the
Weather Bureau. Many places in the
West are experiencing the lowest tenn
perature in six years. Marshalltown,
Iowa, is threatened by a coal famine,
the electric light works being shut down
aRd the inmates of the Soldiers Home
nave been ordered to bed to keep warm.
A dozen persons are reported to have
been frozen to death in Oklahoma and
adjoining States. Man has ever been
compelled TO battle with the elements.
Hot waves in midsummer often cause
death, while the billiards. of winter
bring suffering and distress to many.
AS the spring opens the likelihood of
cyclones produces uneasiness and often
causes stampedes to storm cellars.
Later on, when at times the heavens
become as black as sackcloth and angry
bolts fly thick and fast, the truth OF the
observation, "all seasons have their
terrors,' is brought wildly 10 mind.

New York, Feb. l4.-An old man
giving the name of William WALDORF
Jackson, Jr, and who said he was the
proprietor of the Hotel Manhattan, Of
Lowell, Mass, called this morning at
the home of Douglass Robinson, on
Madison avenue, where President Roose-
eelt is stopping, and asked to see the
President. The secret service men
shooed him away, after questioning the
old man and learning that he wished to
confer with the President as to reforms
in government and that he was a self
nominated candidate for the Presi-
dency of the United States in 1896,
1900. and 1904. The mau was not
arrested as he appeared harmless. The
old man then returned to the Buckine-
ham Hotel where he is guest. There
be said ;" | wished to speak with

to imparting to him some valuable

ter the old man made an attempt to
enter the house. He got no farther
than the door. There he posed for a
group OF newspaper men, who took a
snap shot OF him, with cameras. He
addressed the reporters while being
photographed saying ''You gentlemen
are looking on a man famous in two
hemispheres; you are looking on the
iavorite son of Lowell"

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate heard ten witnesses in the
Swayue impeachment trial yesterday,
and devoted the remainder of its time to
the consideration Of the agricultural ap-
Precipitation bill. The major portion OF
the debate in connection with she appro-
priation bill was based on an amendment
suggested by Mr.. Bacon, providing for
semi-monthy reports on the condition OF
the cotton crop, which was amended so
as to cover the last FIVE months Of the
year, and adopted.
The Senate will meet at noon today.
The Swayne court meets at 2 p. IN.
Not in recent. years has the House
witnessed such spectacle as it did yes
terday, with Mr.. Sullivan, Of Massachu-
sets, and Mr.. William r. Hearst, OF New
York, as the central figures. Both in
dulged in personalities of the gravest
character, aud SO stirred the House as
to arouse among certain members feel
ing of the greatest Indignation. Mr..
Sullivan heaped upon Mr.. Hearst TRADE
of denunciation, while the latter by i'm
plication charged Mr.. Sullivan with
completely in a murder saying
"When | was at Harvard College, in
1885, murder was committed in low
saloon in Cambridge. A man, partly in
capacitated from drink bought in that
saloon Sunday morning, when the sa-
looms were open against the law, was as
saulted by the two owners OF that saloon
and brutally kicked to death. The
name of one Of the owners of that saloon
was John A. Sullivan. These two men
we're arrested and indicted by the grand
Jury and convicted for manslaughter. |
would like TO ask Mr.. John A. Sullivan
if he knows anything about that incident,
aud whether, if desired TO make hos
tile criticism of him, ! could not have
referred to that crime"
The affair grew out Of the recent dis
cussion Of the freight-rate question in
the House, when Mr.. Sullivan inquired
of Mr.. Lamar, OF Florida, who was fav-
oring the Hearst bill, why Mr.. Hearst
did not defend his own bill, this being
by criticism of Mr. Sullivan
in the New York American aRd Journal.
Several appeals were made to Speaker
Cannon to cause the two men TO desist
in their abuse of each other. Speaker
Cannon, however, allowed them to pro-
coed.
Mr.. Sullivan later said he would take
The floor today and answer the reflection
On him contained in Mr.. Hearsps re-
marks.

Verdict Set Aside.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The verdict which
the jury returned for the defendant last
week, in the case of Helen Bates Nc
Nally. the chorus girl, who sued Robert
Z. Lee, Of Cambridge, for $780, 900,
alleging breach of promise OF marriage,
was set aside yesterday BY Judge Bishop.
The court granted the motion for new
trial on the ground that the jury was
prejudiced against the plaintiff because
of her calling. 1t is understood that
the defendant offered to settle, before the
case went to trial, for substantial sum.

Strange Experienced

The Pacific Mail Steamer City of
Panama, which sailed from San Francis
co on January 81 for ports on the Gen.
trail American coast, had q strange ex-
perience, news of which has just been
received at San Francisco by mail from
Acapulco. Through miles of sea COW

tree trunks and the carcasses OF dead
animals, the steamer sailed, the debris
at times beingso thick that her progress
was impeded. Some Of the trees wero

animals we're Of all descriptions. The
debris was encountered on January rs,
In latitude 1858 north and longitude

Both MEMBERS of Congress from Ore
gon and one of the Senators and the
latter's law partner and his son are now
under indictment for land and other
frauds. The act charged against Con-
gresham Williamson is so common in
the public land States and Territories
that it is not regarded locally as crime,
and the fact that a penalty attaches to it
May easily have been overlooked even
by lawyers The charge is that Will
hanson and his partner in the business
of raising highly protected wool, and a
land commissioner, conspired to induce
a hundred persons to file applications
for public land, swearing that it was
for their own use, when it was for the
benefit of Van Gessner and Williamson,
who desired the land for sheep grazing.
The excuse for prepOsterOus duty on
wool, says the Philadelphia Record, is
that it costs so much more to raise sheep
in this country than in any other part
of the world.

Collisions with Troops.

According to kilograms received in

crowds and troops occurred in five
different quarters Of the town Sunday.
One report says forty-two were killed,
but the number is believed in reality to
have been far greater. Over 200 were
wounded. Women and children were
among the killed and wounded. The
strikers appear to have used reviewers
against the troops. The funeral of forty
five victims of last Thursdays massacre
took place at Sosnovice at clock yes
terday morning. 1t is semiofficially al
nounoed that as result of the distur-
Dances at LODI, IA bodies have been

port that 600 persons we're arrested in

where the lightning had shattered a
large tree and set fire to the ware
house near by. The flames were burst
ing from the south side OF the build
ing, and It seemed as IL their work OF
destruction would require but few
minutes. -..,'
Realizing that 1t would be impossi-
BILE to accomplish anything without
help, Mr.. Howell ran through the rain
and hail to the Bethany High school,
about a quarter Of a mile away, and
as soon as he gave the alarm, every
body about the place hurried to the
rescue and did all that was possible
to save the doomed property.
In the warehouse there was about
100 bales Of cotton, and considerable
quantities Of -four, sugar, corn, hard
ware and other merchandise. Some
thirty or more bales Of cotton were
saved intact, and about sixty bales
were gotten out in a more or less
damaged condition, while at least
twelve or fifteen bales were entirely
consumed. Much Of the merchandise
was also saved. ,.,
The home Of Mr.. Lawson Howell,
which is located within short dis
tance Of where the warehouse stood,
had a narrow escape from destruction
from the nylng tu1tS Oh burning COT
ton; but was saved through the vigil
ance and persistence Of the High
school boys.
Mr.. D. c. Clark, carrier on Yorkville
r. F. D. No. /, from whom most Of the
foregoing facts were obtained, de-
scribed. the situation as he passed

most gloomy one Some sixty bales Of
charred cotton were scattered over
about an acre Of ground. and here and
there lay a half burned bale In a pud-
die of water Some of the bales were
only slightly charred and others were
more than half consumed. Fire was
still breaking out at intervals and men
and boys were standing guard to see
that It did not again get beyond con-
troll.
Mr.. McGill, the owner of the de-
stroyed property was absent from
home at the time Of the fire, attending
the First Associate Reformed Pres
bytery in Columbia. He did not get
back until yesterday morning, and on
