BRYAN IS SPEAKER
 AT PITTSBURG

Pittsburg, March 4.-Democrats noted nationally as we'll as .n this state were speakers late tonight at banquet ten dered here to William J. Bryan by the Allegheny County Bryan league. More than 1000 guests were at the dinner. Ow- ing to a lecture engagement earlier in the evening MT. Bryan did not arrive at the dinner till after midnight and 1t was considerably later when he began to speak on ''The Present Hour" Prior to his arrival addresses were made by sev- eral Pittsburgers and Kyle B. Price of Troy, Ala.
 MT. Bryan was loudly applauded when he rose to speak, He launched at once into a resume of the recent campaign and said that before the election he had expected to win, but now, instead of being surprised at being defeated, he feels more surprised that the democratic party polled as many votes as 1t did.
 MT. Bryan said he would rather be the defeated candidate of the democratic party and have. the support he received and the votes of the 6,000,Q00 people, than be President and feel that he owed it to the powers that corrupt.
 The speaker referred to the many times he had been called dreamer" and told the parable of Joseph, ending with the remark that the dreamer had corn in time of need.

Eastern Cities Buried
 In AUaidnche Of SnOW

Latest reports from Perryville, Md, 50 miles below Philadelphia, state that for 30 miles beyond that point every wire is down. These lines include some of the best and most expensvely constructed wires In the country.
 "The first train from Washington to reach Jersey City today arrived at 5 o'clock this afternoon. This was train No. 80, due at 7:0g a. m. The Atlantic Coast Line express and the Pennsylvania express, both due about noon, reached Jersey City short time after No. S0.'
 In New York city the storm was one of the most severe of the winter, although the weather bureau asserted that the metropolis had received "only the edge of the disturbance" Three lives were lost in the sinking of six Baltimore and Ohio barges at St George, S. l.
 The gale descended upon New York har- bor with the full-hedged fury of an ocean hurricane. Barges that were under tow were blown ashore, while tugs and small boats were sent scurrying for cover Sev- eral of them suffered heavy damages be- fore reaching safe anchorage
 Street car and elevated lines throughout the city were badly crippled during the early hours of the day, but the ferries and suburban roads had still harder time in bringing their morning crowds All the ferries ran on uncertain schedules be- cause of the difficulty which they exper- enced in making their stops with the op- position of the heavy choppy sea.

New York, March As a result of a March blizzard, which swept down unan- nounced during the night, the middle At lantlc seaboard from New York to Nor folk found itself today buried in an ava lanche of snow, and swept by destructive winds For a time here today conditions seemed to threaten a repetition of the great blizzard of March 12, 1888, but to- night the storm has sunk to less alarming proportions and there was promise of mild weather tomorrow.
 For the telephone and telegraph com panies the storm was one of the worst in years. Wires in all directions went down at the winds first onslaught For eight hours Washington. the central point of America for the time being, was com pletely isolated, and at late hour tonight the only means of communication between the capital and the outside world was over three crippled telegraph wires, one to New York, one to Atlanta and third to Charlottesville, Va. No telephone or railroad wires between New York and Washington or Baltimore were working. The worst of the snow hurricane struck a wedge of territory which included Wash ington and Baltimore The region south of Philadelphia was well-nigh a blank on the map for the greater part of the day.
 At o'clock tonight the Pennsylvania offices at Jersey City gave out the fol- lowing:

SOUTHERN CAMP WILL BE SUP

POWER TODAY.

]. r. Goldsworthy, one of the pio-
neer mining men of the Pioneer dis
trict, came up from the south last
evening to attend to important bus
mess and will probably leave for his
southern home this morning. Mr..
Goldsworthy reports that Pioneer is
forging ahead, with great strides and
that before another month passes the
entire section destroyed by the late

larger and more substantial build

''An important strike was made
several days ago on the Savage prop
erty, situated about 1000 feet north
east of the camp" said Mr.. Colds

about seventy feet and the entire bot
tom will assay between SIS and $40
to the ton. This is a distinct ledge
and dips to the east. A contact may
be encountered at a greater depth
for the lodges in camp dip to the
west. The managers of the property
will continue sinking and it will be
some time before they start drifting.
This mine is being operated by Ed
win s. Giles and S. B. Milliken.
The Smith lease on the north
east end of the Mayfiower has also
made an important strike and 1t has
every indication of being one of the
best ore bodies in the camp.
THE big lease will soon be ship
ping $50 tons of high grade to the
railroad. Now every available team
has been pressed into service to con-
vey the ore and when they increase
the shipping capacity there will not
be an idle team in the entire district.

pleted and when I left the camp this
morning the employees of the COM
