blockade is becoinlr.2 erious to
-parties Uvo Sims. The roports
state th a ( Here is no road open
above Suns. Several engines are
without wood or water and cannot
be reached. Provisions at Duns-
muir are getting scarce and high.
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.
THE SITUATION IN OREGON
Portland, Jan. 24. Mr. J.
Brandt, superintendent of this
division of the road, .left Wednes
day night for tlie scene of the
trouble. 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

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

nearly 13 per cent. The remaining
cities contributed $19,829,464,337
in 1889, or about S5 per cent, of

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

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

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

THE CRONIN CASE.
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.

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

..... 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. ' :

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

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 '
