BLIZZARD J EAST
New YorK In Grasp of Storm of
Ice and Snow.
CLAIMS TOLL OF SEVEN LIVES
Many Persons, Benumbed With Cold,
Fall and Break Bones Street
Cars Blockaded.
New York, Jan. 6. Nut in several
years has New York been visited by a
storm ml such proportion as. that which
uniiiiucnesd wiitay and continued
until eartv today. Nine ioekw of
snow fell, paralysing UafiVr, ami
brought untold sulteriug to tbe city s
lr. Seven deaths In New York and
vicinity www reported, whim maay
parson, overcome by eoW, dropped to
the street, some of them fracturing
bone.
Five of tbe seven men who met death
from 0m result of the storm died from
exposure and another IifMl oh the
ley platform of an elevated station. Ml
in frost of an approaching train and
was wound to piece. The seventh, a
conductor on tbe Pennsylvania rail
road, biimied by the driving show,
stepped in front of the "Congressional
Limited" train at South Amboy and
was instantly killed.
It is estimated that the storm will
cost tbe New York city railway com
pany tr $100,090.
Incoming ocean linen report a bliz
zard at sea.
Today 5,000 men were pot to work
clearing the street of New York and
tomorrow tbe number will be doubled.
The effect of tbe tdisaard were felt
at most points alone the New England
and Middle Atlantic coasts. So far no
marine fatalities bare been reported.
In New York city traffic of all kinds
was Impeded, trolley lines were tied up
and the streets, swept by a pale driv
ing before it fine snow that cut like
rand and piled in great drift, were
praetleally impassable. lUilroad train
from all points were delayed from a
few minutes to three boor, and tbe
elevated lines were operated with tbe
greatest difficulty, without repaid to
schedule. At sea the condition must
have been severe, but to far no disaster
Itas been reported.
AWFUL COST OF VICTORY.
Facts About Siege Gleaned From Rec
ords of Stoessel.
Chefoo, Jan. 6. Some interesting
statistics concerning tbe defense of Port
Arthur were brought here by the flo
tilla of Russian torpedo boat destroyers
which carried numerous ehests contain
ing complete records of General Stoes
sel'e army.
Originally the army numbered- M,
000. Klevea thousand have been
killed, 16,000 are wounded or sick,
while 8,000 remained in the forts, of
whom, however, 2,000 were unable to
fight.
It is learned that, when General
Stoessel wrote to General Nogi regard
ing the surrender of the fortress be
"I have 8,000 men in the forte, and
6,000 of these are able to fight. If you
do not accept my proposal these men
will die fighting, but it will cost you
three times their number to kill them."
During the siege 2e per cent of tbe
garrison were put out of action. Thi
remarkable fact was due to wounded
men returning to the front. Cases
have been recorded w here men have
gone to the hospital tore tint, re
turning convalescent to the forte.
The number of officers killed was
proportionately greater than in any
battle known to history. This wai due
to the frequent lethargic condition of
the men, who, without food and with
out sleep, moved only when led by
their offieen. Tbe Hessians estimate
that the taking of tbe fortress baa
Japan $ 100,000,000.
Crowds Cry for News.
St. Petersburg, Jan. . The tamo
at te admiralty and war office today
wore a repetition of thore of yesterday,
crowds of weeping women and children
vainly asking for I let of the survivors
of the Port Arthur garrison, which
could not be furniehed. While the
ltweefau military law U imperative in
the lenubuweat that the commander
of a fort run who eurrendeiB ahull be
tried by eourt martial, the emperor
will undoubtedly order that this form
ality be diepeated with In the eue of
Gestural SieWol.
No Twne for Mediation.
Pari, Jan. . The official view here
continued to regard mediation between
Russia and Japan as impracticable.
Tlia Temps, fceiui-oJBcial, in a leading
arJele, eya: "IJuesia will not consid
er mediation at a moment when Iter
silf-wteein in Buffering from the deeHt
WMind and ltefore playing her strongest
card, namely, the concentration of an
overwhelming force under General Ku
ropatkin." The same opinion is held
at the foreign office.
International Salmon Commission.
Victoria, II. C, Jan. 0. Local can
nent have been advised of the intention
of the Dominion government to mok
t bo appointment of an international
commission to invoetigate the fhhorieH
on tho Pacific coast with a viow to pro
viding joint regulations for the prworv-
ing of tho fisheries, particularly of thel
calmon uahcru-s.
NOTHING FOR RIVERS.
Small Chance of Congress Passing a
BUI at This Session.
Washington, Jan. 7. Memlter of
congress interested in securing river
and harbor appropriations are becom
ing uneasy over the repeated wanting
of Speaker Cannon ami other Republi
can leaders tlmt the strictest economy
must be observed from now until ad
journment. While talk of this sort is
always in evidence at the beginning of
each session, them is more seriousness
in the tones of the speaker ami party
leaders titan usual, ami the fear Is
spreading that they mean what they
say.
So far as waterway appropriations
are concerned, the fear i not alone
based on the attitude of the party lead
ers, but the further ami very slgnlti
cant fact that the rivers ami harbors
committee, though it ha been in ses
sion more than a month, has accom
pitched absolutely nothing. Owe of its
members declares that, notwithstand
ing almost daily meetings have been
held, not a single line of the bill hat
been framed, not a single item agreed
upon. He declares that in past scis
sions, when bills were reported ami
passed, the committee did more actual
work in two days than it has done this
winter in more than four weeks.
This dawdling policy, this postpone
ment of action, is what cause the real
alarm, ami no member can understand
what it mean, unless it is that the de
lay is inspired by tbe speaker for the
sole purouse of staving off action until
it is too late to put throogh a river ami
harbor bill. If it is found that this
policy of delay is continued, there is
apt to be a general revolt of members
from districts w hich are sorely in need
of money to continue the improvement
of their waterways. With few excep
tion funds heretofore appropriated for
this purpose will be exhausted by July
1, ami unless a river ami harbor bill is
passed, work will cease altogether. In
many instances work has already stop
ieil for lack of funds.
The promise has been made that the
rivers ami harbors committee will bring
in a bill the fore part of January. This
promise wilt serve to cheek those mem
bers w ho are in favor of forcing the
speaker to give Jh, but it will not serve
for long. Men who want river ami
harbor appropriation are growing
desperate; the situation at many port
and on rainy rivers is becoming serious
and demand attention.

IN HANDS OF JAPS
Porl Arthur Gives Up After Fight
ing Eleven Months.
CAUSES GREAT JOY IN T0K10
Stoessel Confesses He Fouud Further
Resistance Was Only a Usclots
Sacrifice of Lives.
New York, Jan. 3. Port Arthur,
whose hills for months have run red
with the blond of the lira vest of two
warlike nations, has at last succumbed
to the fierce tenacity of the Japanese
attack. General Stoeel, most stub
born in carrying out the will of his
sovereign, has seen the sdvnnce of the
besieging army gain in momentum and
energy, until to hold out lunger would
bare been a crime against humanity.
Tbe conditions of the surrencder are
not yet known, but in alt quarters it is
anticipated that they are such as an
honorable soldier may accept from a
brave ami victorious enemy.
At :15 o'clock last night the com
missioner completed signing of the
capitulation agreement. lloth armies
had suspended hostilities five hours
earlier. The city of Port Arthur Hill
be occupied by the Japanese today.
The authorities at St. Petersburg, in
the absence of direct official notice
front General Stieel that Port Arthur
has surrendered, have not ermittel
the news to become public. Kmperor
Nicholas, is in the south of Russia, and
his ministers are for the lime being in
the dark a to what dispatches have
been sent to him from the front. Tukio
is the scene of rejoicing, people finding
in the outcome eompuusatiun for all
the sacrifice of life ami money that was
entailed in the ten months' siege.
- To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for a rntoratim of
peace is an open question. There is
an encouraging note in the expression
of Huron llayashi. Japanese minister
to Imdon, of the "hope that in some
way it v. ill facilitate final peace."
Roth in lari ami London it is be
lieved that the squadron under Vice
Admiral Itojestvensky, which started
from IJbau for the Far Kast three
months ago, will have to retrace its way
home, as an adherence to the original
plans would invite disaster without
probability of effecting a juncture with
the warships at present in the harbor
of Vladivostok.
