brought but little snow, swept over New
England. making Christmas shopping I'M

to those whose duties called them to ex-
posed points.
The gale was long forewarned. not only
by the weather bureau but by those signs
which New England farmers and mari
ners regard with much more confidence,
such as the thickening Of the sky, the
ring around the sun and the shift of
wind from the northwest to the north
east. All these took place yesterday and
during the night as the storm approach
ed from the south the wind increased
from gentle Lreeeze to- a. strong WIN
ter's gale.

the elbow. Nantucket and Block Island
were all feeling the grim weather. High
land light at s \. N. reported 5O-mile-
an.four gale. which was increasing
steadily every minute. Chatham was
heard from few minutes later with the
report that no vessels were in sight but
that the ocean, as far as the eye could
reach. was white. with foam. that the
long beach on the back side of the cape
was being washed by the heaviest break
ers OF the year. and that the high tide
today had caused. as usual, another in
road into the banks
Nantucket being somewhat nearer the
storm center. which the weather bureau
located somewhere off to the southeast of
Thatcher's island. sent word of heavy
snowfall. in addition to the news that che
little steamer which keeps the island in
touch with the mainland did not make
her trip, today. while under the lee of the
south shore a large feet Of fishermen an
chored last night ana were riding out the
gaze In comparative safety today.
Thed only .ccastwise vessel in sight was

somewhat exposed position between
Great Point Hight and. the Handkerchief
lightship. Both Cross Rip and Great
Round Shcal lightships were on their sta
lions when the snow set In this forenoon
and hid them from sight.
The local weather Office, reported So

miles few hours earlier
AT Block island the snow set in be-
fore daylight and ss-nile gale with

OF the weather.

little sn0w falling in New England ex-

Moon of Tennessee Tells Facts
Concerning Republican
Party.

Washington, March BIN a general
discussion of the tariff and financial
questions in the house today. Mr.. Moon
of Tennessee upbraided the Republi-
cans for failure to enact legislation,
which, he said, the people were de-
manding. The Republican party, he
declared, for more than forty years
have fostered false theories.
YOU" he said, addressing the Re-
publican side, "plundered the treasury
when you saw fit, you overturned the
rights of the states and sat with your
hands on the necks of the common cit
liens; you appeal to none but the pow
er of wealth and monopoly, and yet"
he said, you have successfully run the
gamut, the house gamut.'
The Republicans, he said, had fooled
the people, mot once, not twice, but
all the time If. he continued. he were
compelled to designate the leading
characteristics of the Republican par
ty he would say, 1T is the most sub
lime, the most stupendous faker in all

est in the affairs of the working man.

ing the passage of the eight-hour law

ern Federation of Miners and he has

CARTER OF MONTANA HAS IDEA OF
PATHWAYS FROM BANKS TO PRISONS

Washington, March 3.-SenatOrs Nc
Cumber of North Dakota and New
lands of Nevada today spoke at length
on the Aldrich bill.
Mr.. McCumber was opposed to any
expansion of the currency except to
save the country from a catastrophe
he said. He favored a government
guarantee of deposits in national
banks. During a colloquy with Sem
ator Carter the latter. commenting on
savings banks, said:
There ought to be a clear way
opened from the back door of the failed
banks to the penitentiary."
Analysed by NeWands.
Declaring that currency legislation
should be directed more to the security
of depositors than to the creation Of an
emergency currency, Senator New

THE only way TO secure depositors,
he said, sis by ample capital and suf-
ficient reserves The capital and the
reserve together constitute the security
of the depositors, and should i'm all

should amount to at least Is per cent

BAD Matter MADE WORSE
Suppression of News Regarding
Smallpox in Rome Gave Rise to
Exaggerated Stories.

Rome, Sunday, March 1, via Paris,
March S.-The municipality of Rome
has pursued a mistaken policy in en-
deavoring to suppress the news of an
outbreak of smallpox in this city in
the fear of frightening away the spring
tourist trade, which constitutes a large
source of revenue to the capital. In
stead of pacifying the public fears, the
method pursued in prohibiting the
sending of kilograms referring to the
outbreak has given rise to the spread
of the widest and most exaggerated
reports. There is practically a panic
in Rome over this smallpox scare. The
Lazaretto of Santa Sabina, where the
cases have been isolated, has been
surrounded by a body of troops. The
action has resulted in the shutting out
of many tourists who are lodged in a
nearby hotel and caused much COM
plant No Americans are in the hotel
in question.

PEOPLE ROBBED
OUT OF MILLIONS
Mr.. Lloyd of Missouri Makes
Charges and Asks for
investigation.

Washington, March S.-The startling
charge that the railroads of the coun-
try carrying mails had robbed the peo-
pie out of $4,000, 900, was made in the
house today by Mr.. Lloyd of Missouri.
He declared that the new system of
weighing mails was an admission of
the postmaster general that the weigh
ing in the past twenty-seven years mad
been fraudulent. He called for an IN
vestigation of the postoffice depart
nent, and Mr.. Wanger of Pennsylva-
MIA. chairman of the committee to con-
troll the expenses of that department,
promised that an inquiry would be
conducted.
Others who spoke were Messrs. Moon
of Tennessee, Giebel of Ohio, Brlggs OF
Georgia. Murdoch of Kansas and Smith
of California.

consideration when the house, at 5:O6

20 or 25 per cent, should be kept in
cash in the vaults of each bank and not
intrusted to other banks"
Reserves Insufficient.
Viewing the state and national banks
as one system. Mr.. Newlands contend
ed it was obvious that the amount Of
reserves kept in the banks was insult
ficient and would have to be gradually
Increased. He urged that the nation
should gradually retire the various
forms of United States notes, such as
silver certificates. gold certificates and
greenbacks, and substitute one form Of
United States notes, and that the coin
now backing the silver certificates and
the old certificates should be gradually
placed in the redemption fund of the
treasury as security for this general
form of United States notes. The
United States treasury, under existing
conditions was practically engaged in
banking. Fifty per cent gold reserve
was considered sufficient for the note
issue of a bank of issue. There shLIId
be no reason, he continued, why the
United States should not be able in
periods of emergency to increase the
issue of notes upon the gold and silver
coin in its vaults to meet an emer-
gency.
