NEW YORK, Jan. 26. New York to
night is recovering; from the effects of
yesterday's storm, which so effectually
put a stop to traffic and tied up some lines
of business. Although the day was bit
ter cold, 15,000 men were sent out to re
move the snow from the leading thor
oughfares.. Card are Tunning on many
of the principal lines, the railroads are
wending out trains, ferry-boats are run

supplies have begun to reach the city.
Over 250 shovelers were treated at hos
pitals for frostbites. Owing to the diffi
culty in reaching down-town offices, but
little business was transacted during the
day and places of amusement were scan
tily attended tonight.
Suburban traffic gradually resumed nor

The embargo on shipping was lifted
with the advent of clear weather and the
large fleet of delayed liners reached port.
All report tempestuous voyages and much
suffering among their crews. The steam

The firemen of New York suffered se
verely from the effects of the storm.
They responded to 29 alarms and by order
of the commissioners were denied their
usual time off duty.
The cold weather, which has been gen

be giving away. The day was one of the
coldest New York has experienced in
many years. During the early hours of

SO CHANGE OF SHIP SUBSIDY
Report of Commission Has Fallen
Flat in Congress.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 26. It Is scarcely probable
that any attempt will be made at this
session of Congress to pass the ship sub
sidy bllL It will die on March 4, along
with hundreds of other less Important
measures. The object of the bill prob
ably has been accomplished In showing
that this Congress at least Is not in favor
of a subsidy measure.
In fact, nothing has fallen so flat as
this production of the Merchant Marine
Commission. The mot earnest advo
cates of the bill soon realized after the
report of the commission was presented
that it was useless to attempt to pass It.
This was not because a filibuster In the
Senate would cause Its defeat, but it had
been plainly shown that there was not a
majority in either House or Senate for
the bllL The report of the commission
was a -great disappointment. That it
should result In bringing about a subsidy
measure when subsidies were so unpopu
lar during the time that they were pushed
by Hanna. was a surprise, and straight
way the men who have charge of affairs
in Congress set about to defeat it.
Of course the advocates of the scheme
will try to make It appear that the reason
why the bill was so unpopular at this
session of Congress was because the lead
ers did not want to Increase appropria
tions at a time when rigid economy was
necessary. But such Is not the fact. The
economic .question might have been be-J
tore tne aenate ana iiouse leaaers, out
the fact remains that the bill was not
considered because it was unpopular and
because members of Congress are not
willing to consent to subsidies.
NOT BOUND BY HUMAN LAW.
Main Argument for Expulsion of
Smoot From Senate.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. Arguments In
the Smoot investigation were begun to
day. Judge R. W. Tayler.. of Ohio, who
has conducted the case for the Pro
testants, opened, and tomorrow the argu
ments for Senator Smoot will be made
by A. S. Worthlngton, of this city, and
Valdomar Van Cott. of Salt Lake. It
is expected former Secretary of the
Treasury John G.. Carlisle will close for
the protestants.
Judge Tayler reminded the committee
that it had been a year since the inves
tigation was Instituted. He stated that
the question of morals was but Incidental
and that the principal question Involved
was one of government and law. He took
the position that a Senator who was not
a respecter of the law he was charged to
make could not be fitted to serve in the
highest legislative branch of the Gov
ernment. "If I thought the facts and history jus
tified ft. I would not say a word against
the characters of the members of the
Mormon hierarchy, or Senator Smoot. or
any of his associates," said Judge Tayler.
"I do not speak of these because they
are lawless, but because they are not
lawless. If It were' a mere question of
Jawbreaklng, this would not cause a rip
ple. The country is rilled with lawbreak
ers; the jails arc filled with them. It is
because the law they obey Is higher than
the law of the land. When man-made law
comes into conflict with a higher law.
Senator Smoot says he would go to an
other country, where the law of God and
men would not conflict. I am ready to
admit the Mormons are not breaking the
laws from a spirit of lawlessness. If
they were the question would be easy to
deal with."
Judge Tayler then took the question
of the powers of the Senate to exclude
members elected to that body, and ad
vanced the argument that if a Senator
was ineligible to hold office he might be
excluded by a majority vote, and if, by
any chance, he was sworn in and took
his scat, the Senate still had the power
to exclude him by a majority vote. In
other words, If the cause for expulsion
Is something ante-dating his election and
not discovered until the Senator takes
his seat, then the two-thirds rule for
expulsion does not apply. Judge Tayler
declared that the two-thirds rule covers
Instances where expulsion Is desired be
cause of some act committed by a Senator
while serving in the Senate.
Senators Bailey, Beverldge, Foraker,
Knox and Chairman Burrows partici
pated in a discussion which was caused
by the last statement, the first two
taking issue with Judge Tayler.
That the church, the hierarchy and
its members were placed higher than the
law was Judge Tayler's chief contention
why Senator Smoot should be unseated.
He said the church received revelations,
and the hierarchy, being In immediate
i contact with God. the church was placed
above the law of the land. In closing.
Judge Tayler said:
"A grave question Is yours to answer.
Reed Smoot himself Is but a trivial In
cident In the mighty problem. It Is the
problem of government; the institutional
question whether law or caprice shall
govern people who know no ruler but
the law, and no safe rule but respect for
law. A Senator from the State of Utah is
a Senator of the United States; he legls
. lates for 80.000.000 people who hold, as
I their most cherished possession, such a
j respect for law. because It Is law, as
. Reed Smoot. unhappily for him, has never
felt or understood from the moment of
! his first conscious thought down to the
( present hour."
How to Deepen Channel.
PORTLAND. Jan. 2. (To the Edltor.
I see so much latly about the Co

of. for some time. In th first place I am an
I old retired hay seed and no a title about

I to go swtmlng I have none the efect of

You can take a place where the water Is
I hardly strong enough to move the sand
' and with your foot or a stick drawn through
It with the curant you will soon tee the

bine what I have learned at my profeslons
with what nature taught me when I was
a boy and do something for ml country. I
propoce to take what a farmer would call a
spring tooth harow or a go devil, made to
cut wide swath and draw it down ever the
bar when the tide Is running out and a good
stage of water In the river, fay at th anual

In mi mind the action of the water runlng

a crust, which would hardly move without
mme asistance. Thereore mi go-devil would
1 think solve the problem. It would evident
ly loosen the sand up. ahd by leaving the
botom In a corugated shape runlng paralel
with the curant. It would surely carry a great
deal of sand and sediment to sea. I have
thought of making aplicatlon to unkle sam
for a trial of this plan on the dredg ehlnook
of say about tenn days during the high wa

and necessary cable, which will cost three or
four hundred dollars, and if it doesent deep
en the chanel three or four feet 1 will bee
disapolnted. but it it lncrcaces it one foot in
that time it will bee money well pent.
I have no doubt the dredg ehlnook can do

of course some will say bosh, crank and

visited the industrial district today and
found that no factories were In operation
In the whole region south of the river,
with the exception of one large establish
ment, which was amply guarded In order
to prevent possible intimidation of work
men; out there washo attempt at such
intimidation. ' .
Although the strike is spreading stead
ily, the movement thus far has not been
accompanied by collisions of great grav
ity. During the Associated Press cor
respondent's visit .to the factories south
of the river, which employs hundreds of
thousands of men. he saw no more than
900 workmen In the streets and discovered
that the men are all staying indoors. It
appears that, when the strikers made the
rounds of the mills calling on their com
rades to quit work under threat of wreck
ing the plants, the masters decided to
allow the men to take & holiday with, full
pay provided they remained In their
dwellings, and the workmen usually con
sented. In the meanwhile the workmen and
masters are negotiating for a settlement
of their differences. Several firms already
have offered an advance In wages which
would bring' up the average earnings of
their workmen to $10 per month and
lodgings. One Arm has offered to knock
off one hour from the legal working day
of 11 hours, but this Is a burning ques
tion on which the majority of the masters
are unwilling or unable to agree as to
concessions. The Danllowsky textile fac
tory alone continues working.
The situation, however. Is none the less
uncertain, as it Is still a question whether
the workmen will remain quiescent If the
strike becomes general.

BRITISH COLONY ANXIOUS.

ployers Conciliate Strikers.
MOSCOW. Jan. 26. The British-colony
here is manifesting some unsasiness on
account of the posting of the telegram
saying that the British are furnishing
money to the strikers In the Interest of
the Japanese, but the cool-headed do not
manifest any alarm. The telegram ap
pears, according to the Llatok, to have
emanated from an agency recently found
ed in Paris by the Latin-Celtic-Slav
League, which also declares that the Brit
ish are responsible for the German coal
strike In order to prevent the coaling of
vessels of the Russian second Pacific
squadron.
Grand Duke Sergius, the former Governor-General
of Moscow, and his family
are occupying the little Nicholas Palace.
The garrison remains on the outskirts of
the city.
The strike has embraced a majority of
the printing establishments. The news
papers, with the exception of three, have
reappeared.
A proclamation of .the Prefect of Mos
cow has been posted at the street corners
as follows:
Under the influence of the threats of evil
disposed persons a strike has broken out.
I therefore deem it my duty to notify the
working population that energetic measures
have been taken for their protection against
agitators. Workmen wishing to resume
their occupation can do so without danger.
Work has been suspended at several of
the small railroad shops. The water
works, electric-light works and gasworks
are guarded by troops and police. An at
tempt of a large body of strikers to Inter
fere with the employes of the gasworks
was frustrated.
Acting Chief of Police Roudneff In an
Interview with a correspondent of the As
sociated Press today, said:
Those directing the movements are taking
orders from outside. I do not believe it
will meet with a general re.ponse. All the
necessary measures are taken to protect
the men who wish to continue at work. I
am confident that the strikers have been
effectively prevented from entering the city
proper. The principal difficulty is In re
gard to the factory district south of the
Moscow River, which is within the city
limits, and only two miles from the cen
ter. However, all Is quiet there this morn
ing. The troops have nothing to do except
in the northern and eastern outskirts, where
the strikers are seeking to break the cor
don. 1 am thankful to say there hat been
no occasion so far to use firearms, and I
sincerely hope it will not be necessary to
do so.
M. Roudneff Invited the correspondent
to visit the factory district, declaring that
he welcomed publicity. A prominent man
ufacturer also took a hopeful view of the
situation. He said:
I have the greatest confidence in the re
sults of the conciliatory policy we nave de
cided to adopt. We not only desire and
have petitioned the government to avoid
bloodshed, but we are appealing to the men
to have patience. We are willing to discus
their grievances In the most friendly man
ner, pointing out at the same time the
danger and lack of wisdom in a refusal to
continue work. The general sentiment of
the' mass of the laboring classes is not In
volved In the movement.
The Russky Listok proposed the forma
tion of the workmen Into a separate class
to prevent their inoculation with revolu
tionary doctrines.
SEES END OF DESPOTISM.
George Meredith Says Revolution in
'Russia Will Win in End.
LONDON, Jan'. 27. George Meredith,
the author. In the course of an Interview
given to the Chronicle yesterday, ex
pressed a strong conviction that "the
long reign of despotism which blocks
Eastern Europe Is slowly but surely
coming to an end."
"The Emperor Is a poor, weak crea
ture." said Mr. Meredith. "We must all
pity him In his fall. He has no will of
his own; but, as for the Grand Duke?,
they are the enemies of humankind. No
body in the world will regret their dis
appearance. They are the real authors
of the terrible events In St. Petersburg
and Moscow. We know now that it is
the bureaucracy, with the Grand Dukes
at Its head, that rules Russia. By meet
ing the petitioner? the Emperor might
have averted bloodshed and delayed revo
lution for a few years; but nothing. I
imagine, can now prevent the early down
fall of the go-ernmenL
"I do not think the rising will be im

The poor creatures cannot hope to resist
the troops. If the latter remain IoyaL
the revolution will be crushed now, but
not killed. I think event? will take the
following course:
"The strike will stop preparations for

Clarke & Co., "we stand ready to refund
money paid us ior Vlnol every time It
falls to do what weyClalm for it. and when
we tell you that Vlnol actually nas a
record of succeeding in S3 cases out of i

ready to do this.
"There Is absolutely nothing- that will

"The reason for this Is that Vinol con

Is far superior to cod liver oil and emul

taste." ,
Mrs. W. C. Parker, of Jackson, Mich.,
writes: "I have been sick and all run
down for over a year, have taken all
kinds of medicines and treated with our
best physicians, but received no benefit.
I was so weak and nervous that I could
not sleep or bear the slightest noise.

bottles of It and cannot recommend It too

cause a wave to roll back upon St. Peters
burg, which will overwhelm the Emperor
and the Grand Dukes. In that way the
revolution will be effected."
In conclusion. Mr. Meredith contended
that It Is impossible that Russia can
long escape the spirit of liberalism that
has overswept Europe, and said:
"The Emperor's message, like himself,
is weak. Sympathizing Englishmen
should give practical support in the shape
of money to the Russian reformers."
DECEIVED BY REVOLUTIONISTS
Governor Trepoff Declares Strikers
Will Resume Work Peaceably.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 26 (6:25 P. M.)
Governor-General Treporf. who received
the correspondent of the Associated Press
today at the former's headquarters In the
Winter Palace, manifests complete confi
dence that the crisis Is over and that pub
lic order and safety are assured. Further
than this, the Governor-General takes an
optimistic view of the situation In the
provinces. He said:
"As you see. the city Is perfectly tran
quil. There have been no disorders since
Sunday, and there will be none In spite
of the exaggerated alarmist reports with
which foreign countries have been flood
ed. I am in a position to guarantee the
peace and safety of the city. The work
men have already begun to return to work,
but It is hardly possible for a general re
sumption to occur before Monday. You
have read my proclamation. The vast ma
jority of the workmen were deceived Into
associating themselves with a political
movement. The government Intends to do
everything possible under the law j see
that they receive Justice."
"What of the futuVe? People talk
of a revolution or of an era of bomb
throwing," he was asked.
"I am an optimist," was the reply. "I
have no fear of a revolution. As for
bomb - throwers, they are few In num
ber. They may attempt something,
but nothing will be accomplished In
that fashion."
There are stories of wholesale ar
rests." It was suggested.
"There have been no arrests, since I
assumed tho Governorship yesterday.
ine government cannot permit con
spirators against it to plot and agitate
as they please.
"Is Maxim Gorky under arrest?"
queried the correspondent.
"He Is not in St. Petersburg, which
Is the extent of my jurisdiction."

"I cannot tell you."
In conclusion, Governor-General Tre

to conceal. He was ready at all times
to answer proper questions.
LEAGUE OF MALCONTENTS.
Russian and Polish Revolutionists
Combined to Destroy Despotism.
SPECIAL CABLE.
VIENNA, Jan. 27. A prominent Russian
residing In this city Is authority for the
statement that the present situation
throughout Russia is the outgrowth of
the agitation of a central league of Rus
sian revolutionary organizations. Eight
of the societies, the Informant states.
were merged into a central league some
months ago and opened negotiations with
the Polish revolutionary party to bring
about united action.
The latter organization hesitated con
siderably before Joining In the merger, as
Us purpose Is to separate Poland from
Russia, no matter under what form of
government that country may be. Finally
the combination was effected and its first
effort was to foment the movement In all
the Polands.
Despite the most determined attempts.
nothing better was acomplished than to
Increase dissatisfaction In Russian Po
land. Both the Austrian and Prussian
provinces kept aloof.

dispatches to some of the London papers.
All of the more trustworthy Journals.
however, have begun to recognize that
for the. time being the revolt has failed.
The Dally Telegraph's dispatch from St-
Petersburg, says:
"Order under Cossacks reigns in St.
Petersburg, the rebellious workmen bav
Ing been driven back to their posts, hun
gry and heartless, and both sides are
now bus' removing the traces of their
recent encounter. Summing up the re
suits, one may say that out of a proces
sion of peaceful citizens the government
has forged a revolution which threatens
to be all the more horrible that Its manl
testation Is being suppressed."
Tne Dally Mall's St- Petersburg corre
spondent says:
"It may as well be recognized at once
that, considered as a movement to ac
compllsh a revolution, or even to compel
the granting of a constitution by a pa
cine manifestation, the agitation has
completely failed. It-has accomplished
its educational purpose, but it will be
lone before that is translated Into effect.
and according to the best information, the
provincial demonstrations will have a
similar result to those In the capital."
A news agency dispatch from St- Peters
burg states that the fighting at Riga re
united in 22 being killed. Including As
sistant Police Commissioner Bellicff. and
that several were fatally wounded.
