East and South.
SEVEREST WEATHER IN YEARS
' The Storm Extends From TorontOi
".. Crnadi, to St. Louis. Hc-Hmtj
' Galea on the Atlantic Coast.
Washington, Dec. 27. From ' a
. weather beaureau view, the chief char
acteristic of the present storm has been
the rapidity of its developement and
movement, this result being largely due
to a barometric pressure in Montana of
31.3 inches, the highest recorded by the
weather bureau. Rain or snow has
fallen generally east of the Mississippi,
while from the west of the river cold
weather and high winds are advancing,
Biemarck leads the cold-weather stations
with 22 below, and it is 18 below at
many points in the far northwest.
Storm signals are displayed all along
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Damage
to shipping is feared, as the wind's vel
ocity will range from 40 to 70 miles an
hour.
Wares Unusually High.
Nbw York. Dec. 27. There is no di
rect telegraphic communication between
this city and Sandy Hook, owing to the
storm. All the messages are received by
way of Long branch. At Sandy Hook
the wind is blowing a moderate gale
from the northeast, and rain continues.
The water along Staten Island shore is
unusually high, and in many places the
waves made a clean breach over the
docks. At Quarantine the waves are
- breaking oyer the stone wall to protect
the shore. Reports from the interior
. indicate more or less serious interrup
tion to railway traffic, central New York
showing the most general 'disturbances.
