BUSINESS COMPLETELY CRIPPLED Th City Shut Off From Ontld C inanlcatloo AVlr Down In All Directions. Chicago, Nov. 26. The storm which raged here last night and early this morning was one of the worst'that ever struck the city. The wind blew a gale and the Engw' fell in great clouds. Street and railway traffic is greatly de layed. Dispatches received here ehow the flime state of affairs throughout Illinois. Quincy reports a f howling blizzard, with snow falling fast. Telegraph and j telephone wires are down in ' all direc tions. Peoria reports the storm still raging and serious damage is feared. At Fairburv: 111., the elcet has caused considerable damage. ' On Lake Michigan the gale was severe and the sea is runnina very high. Com parativelv few vessels are out an! not expected there will be much loss of life. No vessels left the harbor laet night. - Tha storm blew down telephone and trolley wires in many piaces in Chicago, and serious accidents were narowlyaver ted. As it was three horses were killed by coming in contact with trolley wires. Several fires occurred daring the night, which made great trouble for the depart' ment. as delays were occasioned in the transmission of alarms. Chief Sweeney, of the fire department, said : '"The only thing we did not have to contend with was freezing water. It has been one of the worst nights, except in this feature, I have ever seen in which to fight fire. This dispatch was sent by the Postal Telegraph & Cable Company, the only wire working out of this city at this time. . A COMPLETE BLOCKADE. Wires Down in all Directions From Chicago. - Chicago, Nov. 26. At 9:30 a.m. re ports received at the weather bureau of fice indicate that fair weather will pre vail in this section Wednesday. The total depth of snowfall since Sunday has been about 12.9 inches. This is the heaviest snowfall in Chicago in Novem er in 12 vears. As a result of the bliz zard busiuess of every eort is crippled in Chicago today. At 10 :30 the Western Union Telegraph Company had established communica tion between this city and St. Louis, but at 9:30 practically not the tick of a sounder was heard. - The operators said they had not known of such a state of things in 30 years. The great demorali zation is due to the heavy, wet snow, which has broken . the wires down. A few remained intact, but they were use less on account of being crossed and grounded. The situation outside of the city is said to be as bad as in Chicago. At ' 10 o'clock the Western Union, Gold & Stock Telegraph Company say: 'There was never a completer telegraph blockade than exists today. Up to 9 o'clock there were no wires out of this city further than to the stockyards.' This will, of course much upset speculative markets. The blockade is complete in every di rection. The following was also sent out by the Gold & Stock Company. . VChicago, Nov. 26. No telegraph wires, private or public, are working'yet, and it it likely news from the outside will be scarce. Foreign news is lees dis , turbing. Turkey appears to be controll ing its Armenian troubles."

She Was .Encased in Ice. San Fkaxcisco, Nov. 26. The British shin An"lesea, which arrived from Swansea laet night, brought news of se yere experiences with cold while coming around the Horn.1 Nearly every vessel which has arrived from the" Atlantic side in the Dst two months has had taies of rough encounters, with the elements, while it ie;uained to the Anglesea to cap the climax. : Once 6he was almost com pletely walled in by ice in her standing rigging and she appeared to those on board twice her normal size. The light runninz rigiiine was " increased to the size of the vessel's spars, and oil and water were frozsn. "I have been going to sea a good many years, said Captain Lane, "but I never encountered any thing Mke that before. For several d3ys we had heavy frost and snow in succes sion. September 11, when you were en joying balmy weather in San Francisco, everything on board was frozen as tight as a drum. . The ropes, sails, oils and even tbe water in the cabin, were frozen. None of the ropes could travel through the blocks, and the sails stood out like great walla of ice, The ropes' were ac tually as large as our masts. . The ship looked very big, bnt one could not help being struck by her picturesque appear ance. Everything'-was white- as far as Exhibition at the Five Mile Schoolhoiise The Wind Reached a Velocity of 73 Miles an Hour. Cleveland, O., Nov. 26. The great est gale that eVer struck this city, ac cording to the records of the weather bureau, commenced blowing from the south shortly after mid-night. At 5 a. m. the wind had risen to 8 velocity of 72 miles an hour.. Several houses were blown down. Many buildings were uh rjjfed, tree uprooted and signs blown tlown in all parts of the city. ; The water in the river and harbor . is at the lowest point recorded in several years. 'At 9 o'clock the weather bureau reported the barometer' Btill very low and the gale will - probably continue throughout the day. Telegraph and telephone wires are prostrated. Communication with Chi cago was entirely cut "off until a late hoar this morning, when the Postal Tel- down from the yards and ropes." Union 1'aclflo A fl airs. New Yobk, Nov. 28. S. H. II. Clark, president and receiver of the Union Pa cific, is here for a few days. A meeting or the receivers will probably be held in a few days. Speaking of the general situation, Mr. Clark said : The present general business of the Union Pacific is slightly better than at this time last year. I should say there will be a further improvement. Some benefit is derived indirectly from the Cripple Creek gold fields. Corn will be gin to go forward in December. While the crop is large, the market price is low and farmers will be disposed to hold their corn for higher figures. The prices for hogs and cattle will be affected relatively by the price of corn. The price of corn also will have a bearing on transportation rates. The showing, of the Union Pacific for the calendar year 18S6 ought to be ahead of 1894, and per haps equal to 1893." A Eailroad Chairmanship. New Yobk, Nov. 28-. Id was stated heie that the chairmanship of the board of directors of the Atchison, Tope ka & Santa Fe railway system has been offered to Edward King, president of the Union Trust Company, who has the offer under advisement and will probab ly make reply Friday when the reorgani zation executive committee next meets.

L3St Saturday night was a most enjoy able one for the people of 5-Mile and vicinity, the occasion being a school ex hibition given by the pupils of Mr. Connelly's school and other, at the Benson sohoolhouse o 5-Mile. The plays and dialogues were well chosen and the characters well sustained. The instrumental and vocal music was far above the average. We think the pupils, who are all small, : deserve especial mention. They filled their part of the program with a promptness and steadiness that older folks might well feel proud of, in fact the whole perform ance moved promptly,.-smootuiy . and steadily along from beginning to ending. The audience showed its appreciation by the uncommon . good order maintained and the rounds of applause bestowed upon speakers and singers. ...

The undersigned 'desires to express his thanks to the friends and. neighbors who eo kindly tendered iheir assistance in his hour of bereavement,,during the last illness of his late wife and at her funeral. ' " r F. Lemkb. Chicago, Nov. 28. John J. Ingalla, of Kansas, has added a chapter to the his tory of Garfield's nomination, a history that Senator Sherman's book is drawing from the lips of American statemens and politicans. When ' asked if he had any personal recollections of incidents, con nected with the Garfield episode, Mr. Ingalls said : . "I happened to be in Washington on business when Garfield died in Septem-1 ber, 1881, and was one of thesenatois named to attend the remains to Cleve land. Mr. Sherman was also a member of the committee, and the train had hardly left the city limits when we fell into conversation about the dead presi dent and discussed his career. Mr. Sherman spoke with intense feeling, and the impression left on my mind was that he believed that he had been betrayed by the men chosen to advocate bis nom ination.". . . . "Have yon any personal knowledge of anything that, would tend to show Garfield's attitude prior to his nomina tion?" For weeks before the convention of 18S0, vague,' mysterious, intangible ru mors and whispers of Garfieid were in the air around the capitol at Washing ton. I was sitting one day in -May in the senate restaurant with a senator now prominently mentioned as a candidate for the presidency. We were talking about the contest then approaching and agreed that, considering the bitter rival ry among the aspirants, the nomination of Garfield appeared to be a not impro bable outcome. "Just at that moment, by a singular coinciduce, Garfield entered the rooms We called him to our table and he joined in our repast. We mentioned the pro verb about the devil and his horns, told him what we had been talking about, and jocularly tendered him our congrat ulations and best wishes for his success. He made an embrassed attempt at repartee and turned the conversation, but his tone and manner left no doubt n my mind that the subject was not repulsive to him. He was then a repre sentative in congress, United States senator-elect, and a dolegato to the nat ional convention, an extraordinary ac cumulation of honors, unique in political history. He was justified in regarding himself as a ' favorite of fortune and child of destiny.. As I recall that con versation, it seems like an incredible climax of rcmance that within lees than 18 months lie was nominated for the presidency, elected, assaEicated and en tombed". "I was in college with Garfield," con tinued Mr. Ingalls, though not in the same class, and our telations were cord ial and friendly until his death. He was incapable of intrigue, treason or strata gem, but his temperament was emotion al and ardent, and his sensibility was excessive.' His mind was capacious and his nature generous and sincere. The fatal defeat in his character was an in finity of purpose that made him like clay in the hands of potter and dis qualified him for administrative of exe cutive functions." The Chinese murder case is on Concerning the Cascade Raserre. The stockmen of Antelope have pre pared a petition addressed to the acting commissioner of he general land office at Washington, asking that the order rel ative to the closing of the Cascade reserve be rescinded. The petition is being very generally signed throughout the city and the list of names that will be forwarded to Washington will be very largo. One of the petitions may be found at The Chronicle office, where signatures will be received. Followiug is the text of the address .-. We, the undersigned, interested in h biock industry ot Wasco county, Oregon, feeling that your recent order" prohibit ing toe grazing of sheep within the limits ot tne (Jasc.-ule forest Reserve, is based upon a tnisHnnrehpnuinn nf ti,o real iscts involved, resptctfully submit the following for vour farni-pt'n.l im. mediate consideration:, 1. That the graziug of sheep on the higher elevations (or for that. the lower slopes) is not injurious to the forest growths. The valnahl timhr the mountains are, without exception, pines, firs and such allied epscies as are totally unfit for food for sheep. . that forest fires, whose origin hrs been ascertained, have never been started by the sheepmen or their emploves, hot by irresponsible and transient campers. riuuierB or traveiurfl ' h aHaAnmon having an interest in the present and iuture growth of vegetation and an open eye to bis own safety, is of all campers nie uioaii careiui oi nis camp fire. A lorest nre rums the pasture for that and at least the two following, seasons, and mruier, tiie wool on a band of sheep passing through a burnt tract (in that or ine lonowing season) is therebv appreci ably deteriorated. , " S. That sheep cannot be run on the bunchgrass -plains during the summer season. The abundant water and the tender grass of the mountains are essen tial to the well being of the sheep during the heat of summer. Were all the stock to be confined to the plains during the dry season, the matured grass, destined for fall and winter feed, would be eaten, trampled down and wasted, urn! thn stocknlen left to face the winter with poor stock and no pasture. Therefore, we respectfully pray that you rescind your order with regard to the grazing of sheep within the limits of the Cascade Forest Reserve.
