For some time past statements have been made with more or less authority to tho effect that somo members of the Czar's fam ily were making secret arrangements to leave Russia, should certain eventuali ties occur, and tako refuge in England. These statements have been regarded as part of the inevitable rumois to be expected to arise from the state ol affairs in the Muscovite dominions. In vestigations by the Publishers' Press correspondent, however, reveal circum stances which point to their truth. Large quantities of jewels, pictures and furniture hhve arrived in this country from the Imperial palaces in Russia Just lately, and liavJ been placed in eato storage. A leading banker told the Publishers'g Press cor respondent that consignments of prop erty of enormous value had recently ar rived there from Russia. "We have received packets of jewels, costly furniture and numbers of pic tures, the value ot each of which runs well into five figures;" he said. "The owners sre very highly placed." The question put point blank as to whether they belonged to the Roman offs, the reply was made that it was against tho rules to give such informa tion. A confirmation of the assertion that at least two of the grand dukes and grand duchesses intend to give the ter rorists a wide berth, and to find an asylum in England, Is found in tho fact that Inqiiirlcs for tho beet estates and houses In the market are bolng made among West End estato and house agents by Russian gentlomon, who, while asking for particulars ol tho most valuable estates, refuse to glvo the names of the people for whom they are required. OAR BLOCKADE IN THE EAST Orders for Thousands Are Given That Cannot Be Filled. Chicago, Oct. 12. The congestion of freight trafllo has Increased so fast within the last few days that railway officials fesr they are soon to be face to I'cs with a blockade. Conditions on the Eastern roads which have not only to haadle the business which they orig inate bat have the crops of the West pouring in upon them for export, are naturally the worst, but those on the Western lines alio are rapidly becom ing extremely serious. With the approich of winter the movement of coal has grown heavier, aggravating the congested conditions which already exist, and Uaulo men say they do not know what they will do for cars when the year's enormous crop of corn is ready for market, aa it (wlll be now in a short time. A line belonging to one of the big Eastern railway systems had orders for 4,235 cm which it could not fill. The Pennsylvania proposes to give notlua that for 30 hours It will receive no consignments from the Pittsburg dis trict, the object being to get the tracks partly clear of cars which have accu mulated on its lines. BUFFALO PLAGUED WITH SNOW. Tears Down Wires, Wrecks Orcharda and Kills Two Men. Buffalo, Oct. 12.

Telegraph, telephone and trolley lines were prostrated in all directions, Thtt damage to the rich fruit belts of Chau tauqua, Niagara and Orleans countien is ituislc liable. Whole oicbards ol perch trees and other email fruits were crushed to the ground by the wet clinging snow, which fell steadily for many hours. Tonight the weather Is dear and cild, and the lines of communication are being slowly re-established, Buffalo bore the brunt of the storm. The damage in this city alone is not (ar from a quarter of a million dollars, and two deaths occurred, which were direct ly due to the effects of the storm. All night the telephone and electric light systems were paralyzed. The streets were littered with broken wires. Indians Out On a Big Hunt. New Westminster, B. 0 Oct. 12. The Stony Indiana of Alberta have again broken' loose, and are now on a wild game drive along the west line of tbe Rocky mountains. The game au thorities have taken steps to have them pursued and driven out of the country, nd a posse has been rent out.

COMMAND WAS ONLY TEMPORARY One Faction of Cuban's Declared Fun ston Deserted Them In War Against Spaniards. Havana, Oct. 11. Geneial Frederick Funston will not continue in command of the American forces in Cuba. Gov ernor Taft announced tonight that he and General Funston will leave Havana for the United States on Saturday on the battleship Louisiana. With them will go Assistant Secretary of State ba con, and the affairs of Cuba will be left in the bands of Governor Magoon and General J. F. Bell. Explaining the change of plans, Mr. Taft said: "General Funston was summoned on a hurry call from the Pacific coast be cause he was well acquainted with many of the Insurgent chiefs here, and it was thought he could aid us, as he did greatly, in bringing the men in arms to an agreement. General Funs ton was put temporarily in command of the troops in Cuba merely as a conven ience until General Bell should arrive. Genoral Funston, Mr. Bacon and my solf, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon and our secretaries, are returning to our permanent duties." Tatt's especial confidence in the' chief of the general staff's ability to carry out the program the governor has ini tiated resulted In the decision to con tinue blm in the island. Many Cubans ot the faotlon to which Mendei Capote and others who organ lied the Moderate party belong, were ouUkpoken against General Funston, alleging that he bad deserted them In the war to throw off the yoe of Spain. tJMUQQLE CHINESE. Fishing Schooner On New England Coast Lands Orientals. Providence, R. I., Oct. 11. Eighteen Chinese were arrested today after the capture by tbe United States immigra tion authorities of the schooner yacht Frollci for which revenue officers have been searching along the New England coast for tbe past two weeks, were held tonight by United States Commissioner Cross in 1 1.000 ball each lor examina tion next Wednesday. All the men declared they had been in the United States before, but that their certificates had been lost, some In New York and others in the fire at San Francisco, This declaration contradicted a state ment alleged to have been made by John 0. Lohnemann, of iioston, one ol the men arrested for complicity in the smuggling operations, who says the traffic has been extensive and effective, BLOW TO DEMOCRATIC PART.Y. Had Planned Qreat Send-Off British Envoy Worried. St. Petersburg, bet. 11. What Is described here tonight as the "Ignomini ous ficzle" of the much heralded visit to Moscow and St. Petersburg of a Brit ish deputation to present a memorial of sympathy to the dissolved parlia ment is another blow to the Constitu tional Democrats, who were arranging a reception to tho deputation as a brll liant send-off in the campaign. This proposed visit was extremely embarrassing to the British Htnnasea dor, Sir Arthur Nicholson, in view of the negotiations for an entente between Russia and Great Britain. Pressure was brought to bear in London to stop tbe movement, and it was decided not to receive the deputation officially at the empassy her. This device is thought to have inspired the interview given out hy the British consul at Mos cow, who declared that the members of the deputation were not known, and that tbe proposed visit was In bad taste. Trylnsr To Hold Together. Helslngfors, Oct. 11. At today's session of the Constitutional Democrat lo convention the committee's renal it tionp roclalmlng the impossibility of passive resistance was adopted, 84 avw to 44 noes.

Coincident with bis coming, Governor Taft gave out a general decree proclaiming amnesty not only to the rebels, but to rll persons charged with political offenses or crimes in any way connected with the revolution.
