FIERGE SNOWSTORM
New York's Worst Blizzard
Since 1888.

NEW YORK. Fob. 17. New York City
has borne the brunt of the fiercest snow
turm that has struck this section of
the country since the great blizzard of
ls. Beginning soon after midnight,
tc Ftorm Increased rapidly, until by
daybreak the whole city was complcte
1 snowed under. The rising force of
the gale plied the snow in great 'drifts
tj at for some time almost suspended
wAlc except in the main thoroughfares,
where the car tracks were kept open
c ly by the constant use of snow plows
srd sweepers.
Communication between Manhattan and
F-ooklyn was subject to long delay. The
ftrry-boats with difficulty made trips
luross the Ice-choked rivers and the
w rk of tug boats, lighters and shipping
tnerally was almost at a standstill. So
fc'avy was the snowfall that the loading
r vessels was stopped, it being impos
sible to keep the hatches open. Two
st- amors which a.-rlved during the night
ftruKgled as far as quarantine, where
thi came to anchor. Several steamers
are supposed to be off Sandy Hook walt
1' -; for the storm to abate before at
tempting to enter the port.
"Wor.Nt Ik Ovit.
Tonight, the local weather bureau re
runs that the worst of the snowfall,
v Inch began to abate In the afternoon. Is
probably ocr. The fall, up to 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, was 9.3 inches. This
afternoon hurricane warnings were
h' isted at Sandy Hook and New York
and many eels were detained in port.
There was considerable delay in the
arrival of the mails. The Chicago mall
duo at 4:45 o'clock did not get in ntil
7 3 A. M.; the "Washington was one hour
and a quarter late. Mulls on the New
lork Central were two to three hours
lto, and all mail service between this
it and points on Liong Inland was prac
tically suspended. The trains on all
the linos terminating In Jersey City wcro
1. urs behind time during the morning,
but toward evening the schedules wero
i.. re nearly muintalned.
The congestion of tralfic on the Manhat
t -n street car lines was severe during
tt.o morning, when many of the avenues
tre blocked with long lines of stalled
c irs. On Broadway, wheel traffic was
c mtined to narrow lanes between high
snow hills, and aong these cabs, trucks
cn.d cars crawled at a snail's pace. From
c thcr thoroughfares truck traffic disap
ptared almost entirely. In the shopping
district, the blockade was so complete
tint the department stores closed at 4
o clock.
General Illuvknde In Hrooklyn.
Throughout Brooklyn, the blockade was
ctn mor" general than in Manhattan,
and little progress was made by the
j-trec t-cleaning department beyond open
ing crosswalks on the principal streets.
(" ney It-land. Fort Uamilton and Ca
r ir-ie were completely cut off from all
t "lmunieation from over the Brighton
i aih road, on which half a dozen trains
vv n helplessly stalled at one time.
1' Ting the day, not over CO per cent
c the cars of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
jt sstem were In operation, and thou-s-inds
of passengers were compelled to
n.Le their way on foot to the ferries.
t SUtten Island's travelers suffered more
than the residents of any of the boroughs
of Ureater New York. The boats were
all much behind time, and no effort was
made to keep schedule time, the main
trouble being due to the great masses
of Ice packed In the slips at St. George.
The Island, itself was completely snowed
tinder, and the movement of trolleys or
trains was brought to a halt. Even
hlclghs were unable to make their way
through the great drifts. In the after
noon a few trains were got through
on the North Shore by using the big en
gines of the Baltimore & Ohio road.
Derailed trains stopped all traffic on the
South Shore Line. The hindrance to
traffic was. in every respect, greater than
in the great blizzard of 1SSS.
Telegraph and telephone service in New
York experienced little interruption, for.
while the snow was heavy there was no
sleet to break the wires. The fleet of
warships lying off quarantine to await
the arrival of Prince Henry was for hours
cut off by floating ice from, communica
tion with the shore.
-lOOO Men Clearing Streets.
Four thousand men were set to work
to clear the streets of Manhattan early
in the afternoon. Of these, half were
engaged in opening crosswalks, while
2003 men and 203 trucks were employed
to work all night clearing the main
btrcets. On the elevated lines there was
considerable delay in the early hours, but
by the evening rush hours all trains
were running on time, although enor
mously overcrowded, owing to the inter
ruption of the surface lines. The Brook
lyn bridge was kept clear of snow from
the time the storm began, but the ele
vated and the trolley cars were crowd
ed to their utmost capacity, although
many thousands of Brooklynltes pre
ferred the perilous passages of the fer
ries to the bridge lines.
Up to midnight reports showed that 1C
counties hid received in force, the ef
fects of the gale and the accompanying
fall of snow. These counties were
Duchess. Orange, Ulster, Albany, Scho
harie, Schenectady, Montgomery, Sara
toga. Es&ex. Columbia. Rennsalaer,
"Washington. Clinton, Oneida, Ononadaga
and Chemung. Thus it will be seen that
it did not extend to the western portion
of the state, although it is expected
there before tomorrow.
There is a sameness about the reports
from the upstate towns anywhere from
four to IS inches of snow with the wind
blowing at a hurricane rate. Drifts from
hlx to 10 feet, and in one Instance. 23
feet deep, are among the features, whilo
there Is Iteration and reiteration of de
layed trains stalled, or wholly-abandoned
trolley service and impassable
c luntry roads. The latest reports in
dicate that the worst is over, for the
wind Is abating, and in many places
the snow has ceased falling.

Incltnn' Flslit to Regain Much Land.
CHICAGO, Feb. 17. A fight to regain
SC sections of land in Indiana has been
begun by the Miami Indian Nation. The
land Is situated In Grant, Miami and Wa
bash Counties, Indiana, and Mercer Coun
ty, Ohio, and came Into the possession
of the tribe in ISIS by a treaty with the
Government- This treaty is said to have
specified the land should not be taxed,
and that it could not be sold except by
consent of the Government- Despite this
fact, it is alleged that much of the land
passed to other hands for nonpayment of
taxes and a great deal of the remainder
was lost by the Indians through their
Ignorance. A mass meeting of the Miami
Nation, numbering about 450 persons, was
recently held at Marion, Ind. It was re
solved to fight for the land, and lawyers
have been retained to take Immediate
steps.

CHICAGO. Feb. 17. The reported forma
tion of a 5900,000.000 corporation to. build
abattoirs to handle meat products and by
products Is not seriously considered by
local packers. The men back of the com
pany, it Is said, are not known in Chi
cago, and the stockyards men here are
represented as at a loss to understand
why a corporation of .uch proportions
should be formed In South Dakota. G. F.
Swift Is quoted by the Tribune as saying:
"I never heard of the company, and do
not believe any one else here lias Infor
mation on the subject."

limit of the distance covered will not be
known until the steamer's arrival on the
other side of the Atlantic, as she was not
equipped with an apparatus powerful
enough to enable her to reply.

Object of Boer Representative In
Visiting America.
PARIS, Feb. 17. Dr. Leyds, the Euro
pean agent of the Boers, who is now in
this city, was questioned by the Asso
ciated Press correspondent today regard
ing the object of the mission to the
United States of the Boer delegates,
Messrs. Wetisels and Wolmarens. He re
plied that they were merely going to
America In response to invitations from
American pro-Boers, with the view or
reaching an arrangement for the distri
bution of funds and other assistance con
tributed by the people of the United
States toward the Boer cause.
In other quarters, however, the Impres
sion obtains that the Journey Is prompted
by the developments of the Anglo-German
controversy as to the attitude of tho
powers previous to tho Spanish-American
War, which, the members of the Boer
delegation believe, has produced a change
of sentiment in the United States toward
Great Britain. The Boers, hope to utilize
this supposed revulsion of feeling In an
endeavor to get the United States Gov
ernment to modify its attitude toward
mediation.

Comment on RoNcbery'a Speech.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17. Opinions are di
vided as to the effect which Lord Rose
bery's Liverpool speeches will have on
the political parties, says a Tribune dis
patch from London. The Ministerialist
newspapers, which seem to think that
the ex-Premier is" bidding as hard as
he knows how for the support of tho
Liberal Unionist, tell him that his efforts
are unavailing, while Important Liberal
organs, like the Dally News and the Man
chester Guardian, are disappointed, and
call upon Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man
to go straight ahead In the knowl
edge that ho has the confidence of the
party. The Liberal Imperialist press Is
enthusiastic in declaring that Lord Rose
bcry Is one man who can lead Uie Lib
erals back to power. Notwithstanding
these various views, many express the
belief that Lord Rosebery Is today about
the most popular public man In England.
Lord Rosebery himself appears to be
perfectly satisfied that he will ultimately
win the game. He is a sound states
man and time is in his favor.
Duel Are Diminishing.

among officers too freely, thus rendering
the penalties attached to dueling illusory.
After various members of the Reichstag
had assailed the theory that honor re
quired dueling. General von Gosslcr, the
Minister of War, said that duels In the
army were diminishing, now averaging not
more than four or five a year, and that
there was no occasion for the Reichstag
to adopt special penalties against army
officers who fought duels.
