eventful except for the stoppage OF

to make the strike general was fall
ure. All was quiet, even the most tur-
bulent being overawed by imposing
militia preparations. Joint patrols OF
cavalry and infantry swept up and
down the streets at intervals and pick
cts were stationed at every corner.
Near the Narva gate, the Putiloff thor
oughfare was patrolled by policemen
In squads of five carrying pistols In
addition to their short swords. At
the Putroff works where all except
1000 of the men have been paid off on

cure work.

STORM PARALYZES BUSINESS

With Ice.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Chicago and the
surrounding country, for rs miles in
! all directions, is enveloped in one vast
sheet of ice, which for "a hours
paralyzed business and cut down tel
egraph and telephone facilities to
mere nothing. Never in the history
of the city has sleet storm worked
such havoc with the city's transporta-
ton service. Shortly after midnight
yesterday the rain which had been
falling several hours turned into sleet
and as a consequence when Chicago
opened for business in the morning
not one-tenth of the city's workers
were able to go to their places of bust
ness. All the elevated roads were out
of commission in the morning and
for several hours not a wheel moved
on those lines. Travel by trolley was
merely a succession of jerks and
flashes. Steam railroads while not af-
fected to such an extent as the cleo
trio lines were seriously handicapped
and only the despised cable train ran
on anything like approaching schedule

Aaree to Amendments.

Washington, Jan. 23,--Fhe republi-
can members of the house committee
OF interstate and foreign commerce
last night agreed on the amendments
to the Hepburn railroad rate bill
which they think may satisfy tho
democratic members OF the commit
tee and unanimous report OF the
committee Is possible.
In the Hepburn bill, the Interstate
commerce commission was originally
empowered to fix maximum rate.
The democrats on the committee OBJ
jocted to this use of the word maxi,
mum, saying 1t was not definite. 10
meet the objections of the democrats
the republican members agreed to
change the wording SO 1t Will read;
"A Just, reasonable and fairly remun'
erative rate which shall be the maxi
mum rate"
The republicans also practically de-
cidod to change the bin so that 1t with

RESENTS ATTACK
ON HIS BILL

Washington, Jan 23.-ln the senate
yesterday Senator Dolliyer complained
Of criticism of himself In the Washing
ton correspondence of a Philadelphia
paper, In which 1t was declared that
"A snake had been discovered IN tho
Dolliver rate bill, u trick by means OF
which the author of tho bill, who poses
as Il supporter OF the president, Is
seeking TO emasculate the bill so 1t
will amount to nothing"
The publication to which reference
was made Is a section an the bill in
troduced by Senator Dolliver which
provides that the commission by man
damus proceedings In the United
States courts may enforce It's orders.
This provision was In addition to n
penalty OF $4,000 a day against the
carrier which might not comply with
the order of the commission. Senator
Dolllver declared that the criticism
was an attack not upon himself alone,
but upon the entire senate and that 1t
was stupid, uncalled for ana libelous.
He said he had taken the provision
criticised almost literally from the In
ten state commerce commission Dill
sent to the senate committee on inter,
state commerce. He did not, he said,
consider 1t necessary to defend his
own caaIacter from such attacks. but
he did think II worth while ITO expose
stupidity the like OF which he had
not before seen perpetrated by u mem

Conditions Improve.

Late last night the temperature be-
gan to rise slowly and the conditions
improved somewhat with telegraph
and telephone companies, and the pre-
diction was made by the telegraph Of

less there should be a sudden drop in

fully an inch in circumference and
should the cold wave reach this vi
entity before the ice has melted every
wire above the ground will be put out
of commission.
Last night the city's street car serv-
ice had assumed an almost normal
condition. All day long every avail
able man that could be had was put
to work to clear away the Ice which
formed on every thing exposed to the
elements. This work was kept up un-
til late at night when the sleet storm
subsidized and was FOLLOWED by fall
of fine snow. Little difficulty was
experienced in disposing Of the snow
and all lines were running practically
on schedule time.
Snow and colder weather Is predict
ed for today but it is the general belief
that the worst of the storm has
passed and that by tonight every
thing will be back into almost normal
conditions.
