Between New York and Philadelphia there is but one telegraph line in operation and the street car travel of both cities is almost entirely suspended. Over the entire Eastern Atlantic the storm seems to be raging furiously. In many places the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad is blocked up with snow 15 feet deep. i — SexaToR INGALLS who is with a super-abundance of mooth snd a wonderful vacuity of common sense, troubled opened bis den’al orifice and got both feet in it at the same time.

In this conference they determined that two of the members of the Senate committee should go up to the State Department and ascertain exactiy how the negotiations were coming out, and that then, if they should find that the negotiations were likely to be successful, they should introduce in the Senate a resolution iustructing the President to negotiate such a treaty as was about to be signed. Accordingly, two of the Republicans on the Committee of Foreign Relations went the State Department aud, availing themselves of their official up to tell them just how the negotiations with China were coming out. | Secretary Bayard who is too honorable | to suspect other men of dishonorable intentions, frankly told them just how successful his negotiations were aboot lo prove, how a treaty which would sccomplish everything that people, and especially those of Pacifi: Coast, desired in regard to tie of had been negociated, and how only a few our exclusion Chinese laborers formalities delayed its consumation.
