MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO STOCK.
France and the Pone Ciable to be
Mixed Up A Wholesale Ilang-
Washington, Dec. 26. There can be
no doubt of the desire of the officers of
the state and navy departments to
allay any apprehension of war between
the United States and Chili that may
have been caused by alarming newspaper
publications. Secretary Tracy said the
war-like stories are without foundation,
and that there is nothing in the situa
tion to warrant their acceptance. The
officers of the state department are non
communicative of news but took such
optimistic views of the situation as to
warrant the belief, strengthened by the
fact that Secretaries Blaise and Tracy
have today been in consultation with
the president, that some news of a most
reassuring character has been received
from the American reppresentative in
Chili.
A Monument to Ueneral Washington.
Tkenton, N. J.", Dec. 26. Today is

ary battle of Trenton, and it was made

Washington and the continental troops
who after' crossing the ice in the Dela
ware during Christmas night, surprised
and routed the Hessians. Governor
Abbott laid the stone at noon while a
salute of forty-four guns was fired. An
indoor meeting was held at Taylor opera
house. General William J. Sewell
presided at the meeting, and after
short introductionary address, United
States Senator McPherson, General
Horace Barter, of New York and ex-
Secretarv of the. Navy Robeson spoke,
.The monument will cost about $50,000
dollars. ' ' .
A S.TCre Snow Storm.
All day yesterday a blizzard prevailed
throughout Nebraska. The weather
turned intensely cold and the wind blew
at a terrific rate, and snow fell in great
quantities. ' Traffic on' all railroads in
the state is seriously retarded and in
many cases along the western division
of the Union Pacific trains are blockaded,
The snow has drifted furiously. Stock
has suffered intensely but the farmers
feel partially compensated for the loss
of their ssock in the fact, of having their
winter wheat well protected. In the in
tenor portion a Heavy -tail ot snow ocr
curred before it turned so cold, conse
quently the winter grain is well pro
tected. The storm extended through
out Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and the
Dakotas. In Wyoming the loss of stock
is reported as unusually large with
complete train blockade. .
- It May Cause Trouble.
Rome, Dec. 26. The directors today

cent mviction and fine lor writing an
insulting letter to the French minister of
public worship, should the diretor's in
formation prove correct, it means the
pope's defiance to the government and
that a eerioua outcome may be anticipa
ted in the near future
