EMERGING FROM STORM.
Conditions Throughout New Eng
land Generally Improved Today.

BOSTON, December 2S.-In southeastern
New England today train service more
nearly approached the normal, the tangle
In the telegraph and telephone lines was
partially unsnarled, and persons who were
driven from their seacoast homes by the
big tides of the past two days had a
chance to return today and estimate the
damage.
Five hundred families In Chelsea whose
homes were flooded Sunday through the
breaking of a dixie and the inrush Of the
sea, were still beneficiaries of the unex-
pended balance Of the fire relief fund OF
April. 1905. The state armory, recently
built, was turned into a house of refuge.
and from 1900 to 1000 persons were
cared for there and at other institutions,
both state and city.
Tide Still Sweeps In.
The tide still sweeps twice day
through the broken dixie. and submerges
the district where these people reside,
and until it is stopped up their homes
will be practically uninhabitable.
The wreck of the five-masted schooner
Davis Palmer was located today just out
side of Devils Back buoy, north of Com
Broad sound. Boston harbor. The big
vessel lies submerged, but the mastheads
project from the water. 1t is thought that
the Palmer touched a shOal spot, early
Sunday morning, the seas during the
terrific storm sweeping the decks clear
and carrying the crew of twelve men to
their death.
The telegraph and telephone companies
worked hard today In patching broken
lines, but the snarl down in Bristol, Plym-
outh and Barnstable counties seemed al
most as impenetrable as ever.
Several Schooners Wrecked.
The three-masted schooner Nantasket
was hurled ashore at Scituate and prob
ably will prove total wreck. Volunteer
life savers with the breeches buoy res
cued her crew of ten men. With a car
go of lumber she was bound for Boston
from North Carolina
The schooner Belle Halliday is ashore
at Brant point, Nantucket, exposed to
the fury OF the sea. The fate of her
crew is unknown. but it is believed that
they have been rescued. She was from

Owners of Condemned Squares
to Take Price Offered.
LAND EAST OF WHITE LOT
With Payment Government May
Take Possession.
APPELLANTS WILL YELL
o. g. Staples, Grand Opera House
Company and Mrs. Frances Clark
Will Withdraw Opposition.

The last obstacle to the acquisition by
the United States of the property In
cluded within the five squares lying south
Of Pennsylvania avenue and between 18th
and 18th streets is about to be removed.
Orren G. Staples, the Grand Opera House
Company and Mrs. Frances Clark, who
perfected appeals from the action of Jus
tice Stafford in confirming the award of
the commission. have determined to with
draw their opposition and to accept the
prices placed by the commission for their
properties.
These three owners were the only ones
who protested the awards after the
courts action. Thirty-six other owners
filed exceptions when the award was re-
ported. but took no action following the
confirmation by the court.
Payment for Property Next.
AS President Taft has already approved
the award, a condition required by the
act, nothing remains but the payment of
the money from the Treasury to the vari-
Gus owners before the government can
take possession OF the property and begin
the work Of demOlishing the structures.
some delay. however, will be caused, it
is expected. by the examination of the
titles or the various owners, although
preliminary reports of title were pro-
cured by the governments special coun-
Sci, Attorneys Birney, Beach and Cald-
well, at the Inception of the proceedings
for condemnation.
Possession by March 1.
Not more than sixty days are expected
to be consumed In the preliminary ar
rangements. and unless some unforeseen
difficulty as to title arises possession
probably will be taken by March 1 next.
1t is expected the improvements in square
226. fronting on Pennsylvania avenue, will
not be torn down until all the other
ground is cleared.
AS no appropriation has yet been
made for the erection of the three build
ings for the Departments of State, Jus
tice and Commerce and Labor. it is not
unlikely that all of the property win be
continued at rental by the government
until the money is available.

Philadelphia Feeling After Ef-
feCtS of Blizzard.
GREAT SCARCITY OF MILK
Blocked Country Roads Prevent De-
livery of Produce.
RAILROADS LIFT EMBARGO
Passenger Trains Are Again Run
ming on Something Like
Schedule Time.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2S.-With
food products becoming scarcer and their
price consequently higher, with street
railway traffic uncertain and slow and
with many railroad trains arriving late,
Philadelphia is still busy raising the
blockade caused by the great Christmas
snowstorm. With the opening of all
transportation lines business is rapidly
reviving. but the most serious problem
TO be met Is the food supply.
Only 25 per cent of the daily milk sup
ply reached the city yesterday and whole
sale milk dealers estimated that today S
supply will be 2o, per cent below normal.
The milk shortage is due to three causes.
the difficulty experienced by farmers in
reaching railroad stations because of the
drifts In country roads, the uncertain
railroad schedules and the slow progress
of hauling the milk through the streets
because of the piles of snow. Dealers
have not put up the price of milk, but
hundreds OF houSeholders are willingly
Offering extra Inducements to milkmen to
furnish this necessary dairy product.
Prices Are Going Up.
Eggs. vegetables and other food prod
ucts are scarcer than they were yester-
day. and prices have gone up all around.
1t is expected. however, that today will
see the snow blockade sufficiently raised
to enable farm products to be more cas-
lily transported. The railroads. having re-
stored all passenger train service, are
now taking up the problem of moving
freight, which was practically abandoned
when the passenger service became de-
moralized.
Passenger trains are still running a lit
tie late. On the New York division of
the Pennsylvania railroad trains were ten
to thirty minutes behind the schedule
early in the day. The suburban traffic
is also greatly improved over that of
yesterday. although it is still in some
what tangled state

kilograms From Bluefields Not in
Accord With Those From Capt.
tal-Zelaya In Mexico.

There is considerable gossip in diplo
matte circles today as to the real signin.
canoe of recent events in Nicaragua. and
especially those at Managua, the capital.
Undoubtedly the most important from an
American standpoint were the visits ex-
changed by Rear Admiral Kimball, com~
mander-in-chief of the United States
naval forces In Nicaragua, and Senior
Madrtz, who succeeded Zelaya as the
nominal president. II is represented that
these visits were entirely unofficial and
were made by both parties as private in
dividuals and not as officials Neverthe-
less. they are regarded in local diplomat tic
circles as quasi-recognition by the
United States government OF Madriz as
the de facto president OF Nicaragua.
The circumstance is regarded by some
as preliminary to the institution OF nepo-
.iatlons Tor suspension OF hostilities be-
tween the two political factions in
Nicaragua and the re-establishment or a
stable legal government. That view re-
ceiVes confederation in reports from
Managua that Estrada has practically ac-
cepted the overtures made by Madriz for
the joint consideration of measures for
re-establishing peace. II Is argued that

end the fraticidal strife now in progress.

Estrada May Not Accept.

According to kilograms from Bluefieds,
the insurgent capital, Gen. Estrada, the
revolutionary leader probably will not
accept the terms proposed by the new
president. Madriz, as basis for peace
telegram from RIuefields. received
late last night. states that on the I'D
instant Madriz had proposed in a tele-
gram to Estrada suspension OF hos
tilities pending the arrival of a CONF
mittee which he was sending to Es-
trada. to discuss an amicable and equita-
BILE settlement Of the present strife
Madriz begged the revolutionary leader
not to obstruct his efforts for peace
Gen. Estrada in his reply expressed his
willingness to meet the Madriz commits
sfoners. but said that the revolutionary
party would not recognize the action
OF the legislative assembly in placing
power in the hands of Madriz He de-
MED most emphatically the assembly's
right to deal with the election of pres-
ident. and. II Is stated, said that he saw
in Madriz the usurper Of the rights OF
the Nicaraguan people.

England's Reported Offer.

Another matter OF interesting gossip to-
day was the report that Mexico was not
the only government willing to give asy-
lum and protection to Zelaya the expa-
triated president. According to a state
ment made by Zelaya himself before he
left Corinto on the Mexican gunboat. the
British minister at Managua offered him
conveyance 10 his destination on the
British naval sloop SheaIwater, then az
anchor In the harbor of Corinto. This 10
accepted as meaning that Great Britain
has no grievance against the late presi-
dent of Nicaragua and that that govern
ment did not consider giving him an asy-
lum on one of its naval vessels an un-
friendly act toward the United States. It
was stated by a diplomatic officer today
that the reason why the United StatGO
government did not use force to prevent
the flight Of Zelaya was the fact that the
Senate had practically pigeonholed the
resolution introduced by Senator Rayner
authorizing such a course of action.

Admiral Kimball's Visit

Special stress is attached to the circ,nn-
stance that while Admiral Kfmbal said
ne called on Madriz as q private citizen
ne was attired In the full-dress uniform
OF MS rank and was accompanied by two
naval aids in uniform. and also by Mr..
Weitzei, secretary OF the United States
legation at Panama. The presence OF the
latter Official at Managua has given rise
TO theory that he is to take charge OF
the anairs OF this government during the
continuance OF the present disturbance
In explanation % this course IL is stated
that Mr.. Caldera. the official now in
charge of affairs at the Nicaraguan capi-
tai. is Nicaraguan by birth and an
american citizen by naturalization, and
MS on1cial status is only that of a vics
and acting consul. The United States
minister and the consul general to Mica
ragua are both absent from that country.
and Vice Consul Caldera has been in
charge of affairs since the outbreak of
hostilities. He has acquitted himself to
the entire satisfaction of the State De-
partment officials. If there is a change
Of representation at Managua 1t will be
due solely to the desire to have a regular
diplomatic official I'm charge instead of a
consular officer. whose regular duties are
mainly of a commercial rather than of a
diplomatic character. These considera-
tions probably explain Secretary Weitzels
presence in Managua and his visit to
President Madriz in company with Ad-
miral Kimball.

1t is said that Estradas kncwn astute-

Madriz's Reported Terms.

The terms upon which Madriz is willing
to make peace. il is believed. are shown in
a letter which purports TO have been
signed by him and addressed to a friend.
In 1t he expresses his desire for peace
without further bloodshed. and states
that whatever may happen compatible
with his dignity and with the public in
terests he is willing to accept. He says
In his letter that the revolutionists should
recognize the regular government, and
that after such recognition both armies
should be disbanded. all arms and am
munftion being turned over to the new
president. He states that he would rec
ognize the debts and contracts OF the
revolutionists. and says that within six
months he would look for the holding OF
an election, he guaranteeing free voting.
He further says that he would turn over
such power as he had impartially to the
person elected president. and that he
would accept any other proper condition.

should fail, as seems likely to happen.
They can use it as an issue in the
next election and can make it cloak
to cover the defections of some OF
their members who are striving after
protection for certain articles pro-
duced in the South. And in this re-
gard the Democratic Senators are al
most the silent allies of the regular
Republicans, who are unalterably OPP
posed to any form of income tax, not
only on account of their real attitude
toward the provision, but because
they look upon the income tax as an
opening wedge for the overturning of
the protective system.
The Democratic plan of campaign
for the income tax amendment is to
voice advocacy of it in debate, but in
the quiet work, which counts for so
much in the Senate, to play into the
hands of the Senate leaders and allow
the Republicans to go on record as
defeating it. Thus, they expect to reap
political advantage, for they think the
people of the West, where future
Democratic gains are expected, will
resent an adverse vote and swing over
to the Democratic column in numbers
at the next election.
There is no reason for believing that
some very clever work has been done
in the Senate in keeping the Western
Senators and the Democratic Senators
from agreeing upon any one form of
an income tax amendment. From
present appearances the Democrats
will refuse to vote for the income tax
that Senator Cummins
has proposed. Tt is certain that sew
eral Western Republicans, who want
an income tax, will refuse to support
Bailey's amendment and will
go back to their constituents on q
record of having voted for one par
'icular amendment. Such as Senator
Cummins offers.

treatment several days.
The touring car in which the men

the occupants of the automobile real
lied they were in danger it was too

unconscious when picked up, but re-
vived on the way to the hospital.
