SHIPPING WARNED OF STORM.
No Serious Mishap Reported in New
England-Traffic Delayed

Boston. Jan. 4.-Whipped ahead by a
wind which at Nantucket reached velocity
of seventy miles hour, heavy snow
fail drifted over New England to-day, and
tonight delayed traffic street railway
and railroad lines and made conditions
generally disagreeable afloat and ashore.
Although the gale raised unusually high
seas off the coast, no serious mishaps to
shipping reported. Two schooners
went ashore and were foated during the
day-the Annie F. Conlon, at Portsmouth.
and the fisherman Frances Whalen, In Bos-
ton Harbor.
Most coast shipping was tied UP in port,
having had ample warming of the storm.
One unknown steamer, bound from New
York to Boston. probably, was reported to-
night anchored under Nobska riding out
the gale.
The island of Martha's Vineyard was cut
off from regular communication with the
mainland by the forced cessation of the
mail and passenger steamer service.

which there has been no agreement. In
fact. I had no authority from my aSso-
ciates to enter into that question. Ot
course, this agreement in no way ar
fects the issue as to the present system
OF control of the House Of Representa-
tives.
Mr.. Hayes was asked IL the word "we'
used in his statement meant all the IN
surgents in the House. He replied that
1t did, and that all the insurgents con-
Cured in the statement.
AS matters now stand, the main body
of the insurgents are prepared to abide
by Mr.. Hayes's decision. and they so
informed him before he saw the Presi-
dent, but there are few malcontents
who insist that they have not made up
their minds. and that they will not sub
scribe to the Taft declaration until they
think the matter over.
In return for assurances to the Presi-
dent that Speaker Cannon will be the
sole object OF attack in the future, the
insurgents hope that the President Will
use his influence to have one of their
number appointed on the investigating
committee. In fact, many of them say
that they will not attend the caucus
unless the concession is granted to them.
They have chosen Mr.. Madison, of Kan
sas. to represent them. and 1t is believed
that he will be acceptable TO regulars
and insurgents alike. as he is an able
lawyer and among the most conservative
of the progressives.
The Presidents announcement that a
caucus will be held to determine the at
titude OF the Republicans on the i'm
portant party measures before Congress.
which bears out the information con-
tanned in yesterdays dispatches to The
Tribune, meets with general favor at the
Capitol. The feeling at present is that
this will tend further to define the twi-
light zone between insurgency and regu-
larity, and that every member who was
elected as Republican will attend.
The caucus to be called for the pur-
pose Of electing members TO the Bal
linger Pinchot committee will probably
not be held before "Wednesday night.
