Chicago Feb 6.-Snow and sleet
which accompanied last nights storm
continued today to hamper traffic.
Fully two-thirds of the elevated train

Grated, and there was hardly less seri-
Gus interference with steam railroads
Trolley lines met with almost insur-
mountabie drifts in the suburbs, and
for a time were entirely out Of COM
mission Instead of growing better. the
situation threatened to become worse,
for a freezing temperature set in. and
gave promise Of havoc with the already

wires in all directions.

The police records this afternoon
showed twelve serious accidents to
Chicagoans as a result Of the storm, one
OF them being fatal Mrs. Jane Roberts

in the binding snow. and another be-
came exhausted and was frozen about

Des Moines, Feb. 6.-Judge McPher-
son issued an order today which will
result in the abandonment of the New
ton & Northwestern railroad from
Newton to Des Moines Junction The
application of the receivers for the
abandonment Of this part of the line
was resisted by residents of Farrar
and Loring. but the court found that
the line is operated at a loss of over
$4,000 month.
The court directed that the operation
Of the road cease, except that for the
next two weeks freight train shall be
run over the line twice each week to
care for such freight as may be on
hand or ordered. Then for the next
ninety days the receiver shall make an
effort to sell the line. but if he can not
do so an order will be made to tear up
the tracks and pay back the bonuses
paid for building. He directs that the
only part that can be sold is the iron
and stations, and neither the right Of
way nor good will can be considered.
Promoters Got = "Raks- Off"
The court says that this portion Of
the road was built to sell to some
other company. When the sale could
not be brought about capitalists were
deluded with the idea that towns and
functions are not necessary to sustain
a railroad" Also that cit is quite likely
that promoters got a handsome COM
mission. usually called "rake- off,"
The road cost, the court figures, 1885,
900 less than represented"

departure in the history Of Canada and
the British empire" 1t means. he said,
diminution of the advantages en-
joyed by British tarde under prefer
ence now given by Canada, and also
the DETECTION of wheat supplies to the
United States. The whole history OF

clared, ''if the great dominions are en-
coura gtied to develop not on national
and imperial lines. but in accordance
with geographical conditions"
In the house OF commons Balfour re-
ferred to the proposed arrangement on
much the same lines as did Lansdowne

PAPER MAKERS PROTEST
Manufacturers Object to Section Of
Canadian Reciprocity Treaty Placing
Print Paper on FREQ List-committes
Asks Some Pertinent Questions.

Washington. Feb 6.-The house ways
and means committee today received
three protests against Canadian reci-
procity. The most important was from
the manufacturers OF print paper. The
questions and remarks Of members
seemed to indicate little sympathy with
This protest. In response to questions
from Representative Boutell OF Illinois.
Mr.. Hugo, representing manufacturers
said the price OF print paper In tho
United States went up after the pas
sage OF the Payne-Aldrich law. Hugo
said the price was abnormally low dur
ing the tariff agitation preceding the
enactment Of the Payne-Aldrich act.
and the increase since Its passage had
been due to a return to normal prices.
Clark, of Missouri, wanted to know
If the increase was not due to you
gentlemen artiflcially fixing the price"
That Hugo denied. The manufactur-
er said that the placing OF print paper
on the free list would smash the Amer
lean industry. Randell OF Texas. sug-
gested that that was what the manu-
facturers said would happen II the duty
was reduced eighteen months ago.

cred with much inf1ammable material
which fed the flames. which spread
rapidly with the falling Of the dome
into the main part Of the structure.

herself plunk in the lap Of we'll

Plans for picnics and autompbile
drives were laid aside and the snow
shovels, which have laid nEused In the
basement for weeks and weeks, were
resurrected.
The snow, which began in the morn
ing, continued with increasing fury un-
til noon. The wind toyed with the
snow flakes heaping them huge drift
and the next minute wiping the ground
clean OF every vestige Of snow.
BY o'clock the snow had ceased.
altho the wind still wrought its havos
At 5 o'clock light mist began falling
and a half hour later the streets and
walks were covered with a treacherous
sleet Freezing as fast as It fell. the
sleet made traffic even more difficult.
The high wind wrought considerable
damage to the telephone and telegraph
companies. Most Of the damage was
done In the south and west parts Of the
state and locally the companies expert
enced no difficulty in keeping up their
service.
According to the authorities Of the
Postal Telegraph Company. the storm
was local in its nature. The territory
between Omaha and Kansas City was
even worse hit than the locality near
Des Moines. but the storm had lost its
accompaniment Of wind before It
reached the states east OF the Missis-
sippi.
