In Ice An Engineer Frozen With his liana on the Thy ttle. Special to T he Cheonicle. Chicago, Jan. 24. With the New York harbor frozen up, ten ocean steam ers floundering in ice-floes at Hamburg, Florida suffering from cold and the en tire west enameled with snowbanks, it appears that the present frost-bite is nipping a pretty large section of the civ ilized world. Thirty-two degrees below zero is the bracing temperature regis tered up near the Canadian border and towns in North Carolina are learning to appreciate overcoats and other luxuries in an atmosphere which keeps the ther mometer at zero. In the east an engineer was frozen with his hand on the throttle; the rud ders on the Philadelphia . ferry-boats froze stiff and lay dormant in true Phil adelphia fashion ; oysters in the Chesa peake bay are roofed over with thick ice and can't be got at, and up at Kingston a woman carried a pail of water a short distance and both were frozen.' A tug in New York audaciously tried to split an ice-floe in two, and ran at it only to get wedged in and carried down the har bor, shrieking for help. These and the serious delays of many snow bound trains and a general, disturbance of mails, and traffic mark the features of a very vigorous' cold snap. In Chicago and towns of the same or lower latitude the spectacular effect of this winter panorama can best be gained by imagining the conditions prevailing less than six months ago. . This is the same city, wherein but recently men went about the streets, panting, in their shirt-sleeves, waving palm-leaf fans, guzzling iced drinks and ecalded with the humid heat. This preposterous pic ture is a good one to keep in mind in the present blizzardy days, when the only easy way to get out to the crib is to walk.x At a fire last night on Clark street tbe water froze almost as fast as it left the house and the firemen who held the noz zles were soon frozen to the pavement. The front of the building was soon cov ered with a complete coating of ice. The telephone wires in front of the building also fell down from the weight of ice which gathered upon them, and they presented a picturesque sight as they lay in festoons on the pavement. Combining the ridiculous ' with the sublime features of the storm, the snow was scraped off the track and banked up on either side along the Hawthorn race-course yester day, leaving a hard, sandy crust on which the horses galloped with their half frozen jockeys, in order to decide who should take the money deposited with the eight book-makers, whose stands stood inside the betting-ring. A few years ago such a scene, if well de picted -upon the stage, would have brought roars of applause because of its merits as a burlesque on the old-time sport of horse-racing.' Between the track and the grand stand there was a barrier of snow eight inches deep, and the big field and , stable-roofs beyond were all one grand expanse of white. Here and there along deep paths through the open field men wrapped in huge overcoats could be seen hurrying along to and from the stables. But the rest of humanity kept under shelter except whsn the blow of the bugle summoned starter Chinn and his assistant to the post, and it would have been hard 'work to convince a Kentuckian of ten yearis ago that this scene represented the good old sport of speeding horses.

From the Dally Oregonian, 23d. Messrs. J. G. and I. N. Day, of San Francisco, to whom was awarded the contract for completing the cascades canal and locks, have been in the city for several days. By the terms of their contract they are required to begin work on the job within ' ten days after their bonds are approved.' All the papers connected with the 'matter are now in the department at Washington; and the contractors are hourly expecting the re ceipt of a dispatch informing them that all formalities have been completed and everything is in readiness for commenc ing operations.- They have been up to the cascades looking over the situation, and it is probable that within twenty or thirty days they will have a force of men getting out rock ' for the work.- They have furnished bonds in the sum of $800,000 for the satisfactory completion of the job, with Messrs. Behring Joost and I. F. Kennedy, of San Francisco, as sureties, and their bonds has been ac cepted and will doubtless be approved. Mr. J. G. Day was in Washington a few -weeks since, and found everyone connected in any way with the cascade locks completion, anxious to have the work done as soon as possible and willing to do all possible to help the matter along. The civil sundry bill now before congress contains an appropria tion for this work of over a million dol lars, which, with the balance of the ap propriation now in hand, will amount to $1,419,000, for which the contract was let. It is expected that this appropria tion will be passed, in which case Mr. Day hopes to have' the canal and locks completed in about a year and a half. ; He says there is a magnificent plant on the ground and every facility required for carrying on the work which will be turned over to him. He thinks the im pression "which some seem to have form ed that the engineer corps have wasted money on the work is not well founded. The delay has been caused by the fact that the appropriations . were made in small sums, which would not allow of the work being prosecuted to advantage' as regards economy. The manner in which the work has been done, he says, reflects great credit on the engineers. It is well and substantially done and has been directed in an intelligent manner. Mr. Day says the opinion he heard expressed of the Oregon congressional delegation in Washington was that they are hustlers, who have managed to secure more than their share of the funds for harbor and river improve ments. They have got dollars where the Californians have got cents. ' Messrs. Day have" had a number of large contracts in' California, and are now building the postoffice in San Jose. They put up the first fire-proof building on the coast, the California supreme court building,' "and several similar structures. 7 ' Joys of a Frontier Editor. , Madre d'Oro. Our fighting editor is a 'dandy. This week he made a trip to Fairview, when a man of nearly twice his weight jumped him. In less than five minutes the jumper was regretting his hasty action ; in ten he was a badly whipped man, and in twelve he declared himself out on a foul. Care should be taken by the fighting public not to make a mistake when they're spoiling for a fight and get hold of the associate editor. He's too easily licked to have any fun with. "Take" a boy of your size." Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, does not like the ' Chicago-Columbo postage stamps, and has introduced a joint res olution directing the postmaster-general to discontinue the sale of the so-called Columbian postage stamps, except where specifically called for. He asked that the resolution be immediately acted on and said he "knew nothing more ridiculous than those shin -plasters cov ering half of an,envelope." Tiie resolu tion went ovef. -The case of M, D. Howell, of Stockton, indicted for counterfeiting, was called for a second trial in the United States district court yesterday, but, owing to the absence of one of tbe attorneys and the illness of Mrs. Howell, it was con tinued. . Maddox and Smith, two other Stockton counterfeiters, were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report.

The policerof this city have received from the Aus trian government, a copy of a Hunga- - i j , i i . i -, - , nan paper, euueu nere oy a political exile from Austria, containing an attack on the Austrian government, with the request that the paper be suppressed. This, of course, the police have no power to do, nor can they exclude the paper from yie mails for Austria, which, under the international postal treaty, should allow it to circulate in that country. As all copies of it are seized and burned on arrival in Austria,- international complications may arise. No Elections Yet. Olympia, Jan. 23.

Foster " of Wahkiakum, is evi dently of the opinion that salmon should be caught only with the hook and line. He Introduced a bill a few days ago at Olympia, making it unlaw ful to catch them with any meshed gear, except that having very large meshes, and Saturday he introduced another bill making it unlawful to catch them at all with a fish wheel. It provides that no fish wheel ehall be used in the wat ers of the Columbia' in the state of Washington. The senate yesterday, after the morn ing hour took up the anti-option bill and George continued his speech in opposi tion to Vilas amendment. Unanimous consent was given that a vote on George's amendment to the bill will be taken on Tuesday of next week, and the vote on the bill and amendment not later than 5 p. m., of the same day. Senator Washburn said that he would ask the senate to remain in session till a vote was reached on the anti-option bill, no vote was taken. Opponents will not fil ibuster against it. Washburn is confi dent the bill will pass, and its opponents are almost willing to concede the claiml 11 uwtfggsa erslv.
