Sissons and Dunsmuir are cut off from approach either way. A rain that is and has been pouring down endangers the roadbed much more from landslides than from snow. The telegraph wires aire down just above Sims and reports are not to be had. The railway clerk in charge of the mails which left this city on the 15th on the Oregon & California railroad did ' not get further than Sims. He gave up the idea of getting through and came back yesterday morning. All northern mails are being shipped by steamer ior tne present, "How's the blockade?" This is the prevailing question at present, and unless there is a very early movement throughout the country it is likely to maintain the same position. The officers of the Southern Pa cific railroad company are unable to furnish very much Information concerning the condition of their lines beyond a general statement, supported by elementary evidence, that it is in a hopeless condition. Snow abounds everywhere, and not only does it become a standing terror as a blockade, but the fact that warm and copious rains can not do otherwise than cause a gen eral flood, adds horror to the situ ation. The telegraph wire3 broke down yesterday between Oakland and Kiddles, and since that time not spark of intelligence has flashed through. The north bound train is snow bound, a short distance soutli of Kiddles, and the south bound train is blockaded in snow at Wolf Creek. : At these points snow lias drifted almost mountain high.

When he got to Roseburg lie got a large force of men and started southward but soon came to grief in great banks of snow The north-bound train is stuck fast north of tunnel No. 9, between Le'and and Grants' Pass. The train at Wolf creek has about 100 passengers aboard, and fully one- fourth of these are women and children. The local train which let. here yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock for Koseburg failed to reach that city on account of washouts a short dis tance north of there. At Kiddles a train was maue up of three engines and a snow plow, behind which were several pas senger cars, but what success has been made cannot be learned MURDER IN BAN FRANCISCO, President BronsmeUof tne Califor nia Insurance Company Shot.

BKTTEK THAN AM ICE PALACE, The difficulty of constructing an ice palace where there is no ice t speak of has impressed itself so strongly upn the peeple of St. Paul that the project has been definitely, though with natural reluctance, abandoned. A citizen of St. Paul, Mr. E. F. Drake, makes a proposition through 4,The Pioneer Press1 which should commend it self by its wisdom and generosity to the people of that city. He urges that in lieu of -the winter festival, public enthusiasm be di rected to providing for the city public library wertby the name of library. The first step, of course, is to secure a solid, convenient and commodious building, and this end Mr. Drake offers to give $5,000 toward a fund of $109,000 for the purchase of land and the erection of a building on condition that the full amount !c raised by April 1, 1890. Our if the sum proposed be considered insufficient for the purpose, Mr. Drake will give another $5,000 tcward a sveund $100,000, or pro rota for uny part thereof. Lie stipulates that the library shell bo "for all the people of St. Paul, without distinction of race or re!igion,to be controlled by the subscribers or such authority as they may chooc. The New England Shoe Trade At tne xsew .kngianu biioe and Leather Association in Boston: Ex Governor CI an in was re-elected -president. The treasurer reported received during the year with a balance on hand of $o.G19. President Claflin in his annual re port reviewed the business of the last year, presented statistics to show the rapid growth in the shoe and leather industries and predict cd that, in spite et sharp and grow iog coinpcttion in the West, New England seems destined to remain the centre of the industry for many uecades, if not for all the time. Reverting to the many failures among tanners in the last year., be ascribed them to continued losses because of the low prices of leather. There were 3,899,980 cases of boots and shoes sent out by sea and rail from Boston in tho last year, as against 1.250,201 cases in 1870. Bank Clearing for 1889. Detailed totals of bank clearings at 53 cities for December, and 37 cities far the past 4 years, are given in Bradstreet's record. The total clearings at 37 cities for the month just closed aggregated $4,959,453, 067, against respectively $4,654,737, 333, $4,294, 857,794, and $5,155,533 088, in corresponding months in 1888, 1887, and 1886. This indi cates a gain over December last year f 64 per cent., but a loss from December, 1886, ot 3 4-5 per cent. The December total at New York in 1889 contributed $3,163, 924,446, or 63. 7 per cent, a gain ever last December, 1880 ol 6 per cent. This ratio of gain appears to bold also in the case of the clear ings outside of New York, which aggregated $1,795,528,621, or 36 2 per cent, ter December, 1889. It is, however, in the totals for twelve mouths that the real indication of last year's advance in trade are to be found. Total clearings at 36 cities during 1889 aggregated $55, 724,569,241, against respectively $49,206,809,738 in 1888. 1887. and in 1886. The gain over last year isaooul id5 percent., while only 9 per cent, gain is shewn over 1887 next to 1889 shewing the largest total, ut the total clearings, in 1889 New York citv contributed $33,895,104,904, of nearly 642 5 percent, showing a zain over 1887 of 7 per cent., and over 1888 of nearly 13 per cent. The remaining cities contributed $19,829,464,337 in 1889, or about S5 per cent, of tbo total, gain over 1887 of about 13 per Cent. Every section of the country this year shows a gain in clcArings, hot over 1888, but over laev.v:. It is worth noting that only six citic: out oi nil those reported eliow declines in when com pared with 1888 or 1897. ' YESTERDAY'S NEWS. Miss Willard Has Disrupted the National W. C T. U.

A NEW ORGANIZATION. Cleveland, Jan. 23. The lecedcrs from the W. C. T. U. organized a non-partisan league to-dar. The morning session of the convention was devoted to consideration of the con stitution. A letter was read from John G. Whittier. commending the non-partisan purpose of the new organization. The preamble of the constitution says: "Viewing with the deepest solicitude the appalling evils of intemperance, and believing a non-partisan, non- sectarian organiza tion of Chri8tain women, devoted solely to tho cause of tejnperance is greatly needed, we unite ourselves to tether for this purpose." The organization will be known as the American Woman's Christian Temperance League. There are to be five departments of work, evangelical, educational, legislative, literary and young women's. , One j section of the constitution declares that no officer shall pledge the support of the organi zation to any political party or any religious sect.

Will Lead to Reform In the nols Jury System. 111! Chicago, Jan. 24. One outcome oi the long trial in the Cronin case has been that the Illinois Bar Association at its annual meeting, just concluded at the State capita, has declared in favor of a radical reform in the jury system of this State. Siguiund Zeisler echoed the sentiments of the associa tion in his add rets upon the subject, in which he said : "There is no doubt that i he verdict finally rendered in the Cronin cue was not in accordance with the conviction of a single one of the jurors. Eleven men voted for hauging and the twelfth for acquittal, and yet on the polling of the jury each member was compelled to prosti tute bis solemn oath by the declara tion that the verdict rendered was his verdict. Attempts at jury-bribing are being constantly made, and so long as the unanimity of juries, is re quired the easier can it be accom plished.", . The association declared itself in favor of a law making the verdict of two-thirds of a jury legal in civil cases; in criminal cases the defendant to be acquitted unless two-thirds of the jury return a verdict of guilty, I jfe and the death pena.ty be not inflicted Lj ( unless the jury is unanimous in itsT verdict. A committee was appointed to drart a bill for presentation to the Legislature. thesomoanjtbeatv. German Paper Denounce It -The Anti-Alcohol Clause Remarkable Washington, Jan. 23. Publica tion of the Samoan treaty in Berlin has led to its denunciation by the German press of both parties. Dis patches received here say that radical and conservative papers alike call it a German retreat. London, Jan. 23. The Times says: The Samoan treaty hears handsome testimony to Bismarck's reasonable ness. That so complete an equilibrium should . be established is much more than we could have expected from him. That he quietly consented to prohibition of arms and alcohol and the land clauses is probably due to British influence. Their insertion in such a treaty is a remarkable event in the history of the relations of civilized with semi-civilized nations. The Standard says: While it is cood theoretically it is likely that difficulties will 'arise. In any case, provision is made for revision. BUNKOED ONLY ONCE. A Little Man From Bntto Brings a New Tork Steerer to Grief. New Yokk, Jan. 23. A dapper little man created a sensation this morning at the corner of Broadway and Veaey street. There he met Lewis Davis,' and after the men had exchanged a few words Davis started to walk away. The little man, whose name is Richard .Geobler, and who was bunkoed out of $1500, on Grand street on .November 1, drew a pistol and told Davis to halt "If you move," shouted Goebler, 'yflur brains vrill Hlfiwn Ant nf VAn. kyl ,r ..... W V.V..M " J W.l U . This strange tableau affected hundreds who were passing at the time, while little Gobbler hM the position until a policeman came azd took the weapon from the excited man. The parties were then taken to the Tomba. At the court it was elicited that Goebler had been in the city but a short time from Butte, Mont., when he waa bunkoed. He had succeeded in having one of the bunco men in dicted. The man indicted was known as Johnston. Davis, who is supposed to have been in league with the bunco steerers.wenton Johnston's bail, and Johnston waa liberated. It was found some time after that Davis's bond was of no value. Goebler went to the district attorney tor instruc tions in the matter, and. Colonel Fel lows issued ont a warrant for Davis's arrest. This warrant Goebler carried around with him, and in order to aid him in its service he waa granted a permit to carry a pistol. Davis was remanded and taken before Recorder Smyth to plead to an indictment for perjury foand against him. . He pleaded not guilty. ' : KLAMATH RESERVATION.

Tho secre tary of war submitted to the aenat to day the correspondence of war officials relating to the removal of troops from Klamath reservation in Oregon. Army officers recommend removal upon the ground that there waa no necessity of their presence. The Indian agent at Klamath could invoke the power of civil authorities, which would be sufficient. The report says all the in fluences to keep the troops there was excited by Portland merchants, A TEXAS MURDER. A Wealthy Farmer Shot Dead in His Own House. McKixkey, Tex., Jan 23. Benj.

Detroit Free Press. A rising Detroit statesman was passing down Jefferson avenue a day or two ago when be suddenly espied a silver dollar on the flags. No states man, whether he is rising . or way at , the top, feels it beneath his dignity to pick up a silver dollar. ' This one stooped to pick, but the dollar fled across the stones and into a hallway. -There was a boy and a string at the other end. The statesman straightened ur. and with a stem , and dignified look, determed not to heed ' the "titter" from half a dozen people who were watching, but he hadn't gone ten feet before he struck a banana ' peel. That was different He jumped, pawed and came down with a kerchunk heard across tho street. His hat flew one way and his feet the other, and he broke loose and uttered such remarks ttiat pedestrians gave him a wide birth. When he got np he was humbled and degraded. He had been lowered all of fourteen pega in his own estimation, and people had dared to guy him. He went his way determined, perhaps, to quit the statesman business and become bad awfully bad. , MONMOUTH NOTES. Monuocth, Jan 21, 1390. The child of Mr. Cramer is quite sick.
