THE WORST STOKM OF THIS CEKTUKT, TOT DUKtAT'S CABLE COMFAST.l LosDO", March 10. A blizzard has been raging over England since 4 o'clocfc yesterday afternoon, which is "euerally ad mitted to be the worst storm of the century. On .Friday the mercury had risen to such n CAtent that the temperature was summer liks, but to-day tbecouutrv is again plunged into the depth of winter and is knee-deep in enow. Last evening the streets of the me tropolis were deserted. The wind was blow ins a gale aud sifting fine snow into the faces of pedestrians. Busses stopped run ning, no cabs could be had, telegraph com munication with the continent was inter rupted, and trains were either entirely blocked or greatly delayed, many accidents b'-inc reported. From the provinces comes the information that the country roads ate impassable on ac count of tbe drift. The state of affairs on the codsl and in English end St. George channels is simply appalling. Many ves sels haTe been torn from tbeir moorings at the quay-, and along the whole coast tbe greatest excitement prevails. The loss in fishing boats aud telegraph wires is im mense. London ISlocked With Snow. London this morning looked like a city that had a pall thrown over it aud then been abandoned. Street traffic has been brought to a standstill, and only a stray pedestrian was here and there visible. B'rom "Wales it is reported that the loss of sheep on the ex posed hrll pastures is very heavy. Last night the business at the theaters was much diminished, and a big political meeting at Portsmouth was postponed. Br'utoc to-day is said to resemble 2iew Yo-K during the "blizzird ol 18S8. Indeed the people characterize this as American wcl'.er, more especially as it lulfilis a recent prediction from that country that England would experience terrible storms about this time. Great anxiety was felt over tbe receipt of a telegram Irom Dover, to the effect that the club train boat that left last evening for Calais, which usually crosses in an hour, and having on board the Duchess of Edinburgh aud suite, had not ar rived thtie early this morning. Finally news came that the buffeted vessel had reached port about 2 A. 31., after a fearful experience. Awfnl Night on the Channel. The unfortunate passengers report that the night on the channel was simply awful, and news irom o'her ports is anxiously awaited. A correspondent at Dover says that the sea in tbe harbor was terrific, the waves washing com pletely oer the quays and making the situa tion ot the vessels m port most dangerous. As It as, the mail steamer Wave, which was to have crosseu last mht, nearl sank at the pier. urprt paddle box being completely wrecked. It s impossiole to send out the other mail boats, as the sca is now makittg a clear breach over the admiralty pier, wlticu is inaccessible, the telegraph clerk and signal man being vir tually impnoi.eil. Dstress signals from the dinctiun ulOo tdwiu Sand- are now visible. From all parts of the kingdom come reports ol serious delavs in railwav and other iraffic The passenger tram from Chatham to Favers bam was snowed up at Tenbam. Some pas sengers walked home, while others ubtaine 1 lodsings in the village. The mail cart from Dover to Rainsiratr was unable to get through this morning, while the Chatham and Dove line is blocked aud the mails consequently de layed. lturied in tho Snow. At S'icerness the mail cart driver and bis bags were discovered by a searching party bidden by a snowdrift, while tbe Sbeernest branch line is blockaded and no train bad reacbed bittingbourne. All tbe lines in Devonshire are blocked, a mail train being Enowed upatMorthoe, to whose relief a train lias been sent. Another mail train hound from Southampton to Loncnn lies helpless in a deep cutting between Winchester aud Farnuam, and all traffic on the Talf itatlKav in Wales, and on its Aberdaro aud Jlerthjr branches, has been stopped. A singular accident is reported from Ports mouth, where, during tbe heigh' of the storm lastnicbt a convict named Wilson escaped from the dock yard. The alarms weie soon civen aud search also made, but no trace of blm could be found until this morning, when he was discovered in a boat off Whale Island, sot far from land. He hau been there all mcht, and when rescued was nearly dead from cxhanstion, his sufferings having been intense and the storm preventing bim from making giod his c-cape to the French coast. Captain fchinley. of tno Victoria, one of the regular packet boats, reports having been obliged to la to in the channel all night. He says that it was the worst weather he bad ever experi enced. Four Lifeboat Men Drowned. Know is now falling, and the Weather Bureau predicts still another gale with more ssow squalls, and that it will be very cold to-night. The Xcw Haven boat train, whlcl. conuectsiwitb tbe channel steamer and the Eastbourne mail, were both blocked at l'.astuourne at inidmgnt. The New Haven train not started again, aud passed Lewes this afternoon seven hours late. Her pissengers report a fearlul nassane across the channel. A chooner is ashore near .New Haven, and at Llttlestore a life boat was overturned last r.ight, and four of the crew drowned, including tjir chief coast guard. Tel yacht Sapphire, from Flushing for Har wich. hile making the latter port at midnight, struck on a rock, and Mr. Macharr. her owner, of Glasgow, was washed overboard and drowned.

H. Smith, Government leader in the House of Common, with rccard to Mr. Justice Stephen, the judge whose mind is s-id to be affected, has revealed tbe fact that tbe Government has absolutely so putter oer tbe judiciary. Only tbe Queen can suspend judges at the request ol both Houses of Parliament. It was believed by many tbat Sir James could be induced to tako a prolonged holiday and thus solve the diffi culty. This pleasing hypothesis has, however, been rndely shaken by the rumor that actions for libel against tbe Loudon and provincial jour nals tbat have published the bnnth-Cobb cor respondence are contemplated by tbe subject of it, he insisting tbat hp is entirely sane. 'Ihis view of the caso is confirmed by bis physicians and by tbe Lord Chief Justice, wno declares that Mr. Justice Stephen is "perfectly sensi ble." ENDED WITH A BULLET. .Another Tonng Member of a London Bank ing House Commits Suicide. 1BV DUNLAf'S CABLE COMrAKT.l Londoiv, March 10. The metropolis bas been startled by tbe discovery that another scion of an ancient banking house bas commit ted suicide, although the Coroner's jnry len iently found a verdict of accidental death. It now transpires tbat Lionel Drummond. aged K7, shot himself with a gun when aepressed thro'is'i worry, caused by certain legal pro- ceedincs between himself and an old and dear friend. Tbe Srunimomls, whose banking: bouse at 49 Charing Cross is one of the oldest In London, an'l ran us with that of liaring Brolhers, began h9Miirs earlv in tbe eighteenth century. George Drumruond, bora in 1S07, is now the Earl of I'erth and Mclfort in the Scottish peer ace, his eldest son and beir being tbe Viscount trathallen.

Sir Thomas Esmonde, the Secretary of the convention, stated that 115 organizations had sent delegates.

Mr. McCarthy said tbat the League bad allowed itself to be captured in a recreant way by a '-crowbar brigade." The Federation, he declared, was well rid of the national League. It was thought by some persons that they had waited too long for the Leaguers to take action, but they had felt bound to hold on, in tbe hope that tbe party would remain united. For Mr. Parnell be bad no words but those of compassion. In following a wrong course Mr. Parnell's fate as leader of the Irish Parlia mentary party bad become sealed. Thomas Sexton, member of Parliament for Wet Belfast, made a statement to the effect that during the Boulogne negotiations the rep resentatives of the -niajoritv of the Irish Par liamentary party offered to leave the chairman ship of the party open for a yoar if Mr. Parnell would retire temporarily from the position. The negotiations proceeded on this basis. Mr. Parnell's leadership, He said, is no longer within tbe rauge of practical politics. An executive committee was appointed, con sisting! Messrs. McCarthy. Condon, Davitt, Deasy, Dickson. Murpliy. McCartan, Artbur O'Connor, Sexton, Sheebj, Sullivan ard Webb, and also Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien if they are willing to serve.

A pledge is also proposed binding all the members of Parliament wbo declare for the National Federation to vote with tbe party. It is suggested that tbe Chairman of tbe Irish Parliamentary party should also be President of tbe National Federation. THE "WORLD'S OIL MARKET.

PENNSYLVANIA PLANS Stockholders of tbe Big Corporation in Annual Session. THE LINES TYEbT OF flTTSBORG. What Relations They Now Ilold to the Great Parent Company. ME. ROBERTS HAKES AN EXPLANATION Philadelphia, March 10. The annual meeting of the stockholders of tbe Pennsyl vania Railroad Company was beld to-day in Musical Fund Hall, and was well attended. Congressman Rich ard Vaux was chosen Chairman of the meeting. The fortj-fourth annual re port of the president and board of directors, which was published several days ago, was presented and was turned over page by page in order to give to whomsoever desired, in formation regarding any particular portion of the report When tbe page showing a profit of the United Railways of New Jersey was reacbed, "William E. Lockwood arose and congratu lated the officers of the company.statiug that it was the first time the United Railroads of New Jersey have ever shown a net profit. The 1'ennsy 1 vanla Company. In regard to the Pennsylvania Company, Mr. Lockwood asked General Solicitor Scott: "If we increase the Pennsylvania Company's guarantee to 837,000,000 is that guarantee a claim in advance of tbe claims of the stockholders? In other words, would that claim have to be paid off before the stockholders got any dividends?" "Assuming," said Mr. Scott, "the state ment of Mr. Lockwood to be true that the Pennsylvania Railroad has made any such guarantees the principle is always universal that the debts of a corporation have always to be paid first before the stockholders get any thing out of the profits." For the information of the stockholders." said President George B. Roberts, "I will ex Dlain Ihe relation between the Pennsylvania. Railroad Company and the Pennsylvania Com pany. The Pennsylvania Railroad bas not guaranteed ono penny of tbe securities of that reorganized company. There is no obligation connected with it, except the privilege of holding a largo amount of its securities, which wo hope will become profitable by tbe reorganization ot the property. The Pennsylvania Company is really a bureau of the Pennsylvania Railroad organi zation lor the purpose of enabling an executive department to be maintained at Pittsburg to take tbe management of those lints. Western Lines Investment. "A number of securities of the different roads in the reorganizations were transferred to the Pennsylvanjt Company, for which the Penusjl vanla Company paid to tbe Pennsylvania Railroad its entire capital stock of $20,000,000. Having started with this stock, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company took bold of the lines and improved them, until the capital now consists of this KU,UOO,000 and about 25,000.000 of bonds, for wblch they have investments In tbese Western lines very much in advance of tbeir obligations. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is abso lute owner of tbe entire corporation, and merely makes nse of tbe Pennsylvania Com pany to manage its lines west of Pittsburg, and has been enabled to greatly increase its profit and loss account." A resolution to approve tbe annual report and to express the thanks of the stockholders to the officers for the faithful ami efficient management of tbe company offices was adopted, as was also one for the appointment by the Chairman of thonieefing of a committee of seven to prepare a ticket for directors, to be voted for at tbe next annual election beheld on March 24. The meeting then adjourned. NORTHSIDE FINANCES. Allegheny's Committee Meets and Passes on Routine Business The Tax on tho Pictnr-j Exhibit Remitted A Proposi tion to Pais 13 Mills' Taxation Defeated. The Finance Committee of Allegheny met last night, with Mr. Snaman in the chair. Mr. tfily, representing the nnited Bohemian societies, appeared before the committee and asked for an exoneration of their city tax, amounting to $34 90. Mr. Bily said tbat the tax was on a school where the Bohemian language was taught free of charge. The exoneration was granted. Tbe sub-committee having in charge tbe pay ment of tbe California avenue debt reported that tbe amount yet owing was 515,000. It recommended that the city should ls-ue street improvement bonds for S23,0UO and allow tho property owners to pay the rest. An ordinance to this effect was ordered printed for Councils. The claim of William A. Holman, for damages to his property caused by the grading ot Cali fornia avenue, was ordered to be compromised for 8150. Mr. Holman claimed J500, and this caused a great deal of discussion. Chairman Snainai remarking that if it were bis property and a handsome street like California avenue were put through be would never ask a cent damages. John K. Beatty. representing the American Art Society, appeared before tne committee to ask that tbe usual license fee of S100. which is collected from circu-es. etc.. be taken off the Verestchagm exhibition and the loan exhibi tion, which is to follow the present display. The exoneration was granted. In speaking of them after Mr. Beatty said he thought tbe out come would be a permanent art exhibition in Allegheny. Ageneial di-cussion on the city's indebted ness, which Controller Brown reported to be about $251,000. was held. Each number took part in the discussion, and Mr. Lare was given some pretty bard raps for the part be took in cutting down appropriations and reducing the tax millage, making it impossiblo to reduce this debt. Mr. Neeb called attention to tbe fact tbat when Mr. Snaman, tbe Chairman of the Finance Committee, got up to make an ex planation of why the millage was raised, cer tain members refused to hear bim, and shouted bim down. Mr. McAfee said that this was so, and it was the most discourteous act he had ever wit nessed in Select Council. Mr. Dablinger remarked that the appropria tion ordinance, as it is, would never pass Com mon Council, and he moved that the millage be placed at 13 mills, and the city debt bo paid and departments allowed enough to run them. This motion was subsequently withdrawn, and Mr. Wertheiiuer remaiked that the de partments would have to live within their ap propriations if they had to discharge every cmploje. Ha would see to it tbat they would not go into the sinking fund for money. Treasurer Macferron asked for a temporary loan of 5100,000, stating that he would require that much money to run the city to the end of the present fiscal jear. The Treasurer was authorized 10 secure tbe loan. THEODORE THCMAS BOYCOTTED. Chicago Musicians Up in Arms Against the Orchestra Director. .-SPECIAL TELKGKAJl TO TUB mR-ATCn.l Chicago, March 10. Theodore Thomas is nnder boycott by the local mnslcians. The trouble is due to Thomas' contract with the Orchestra Association. Tho latter was formed for the purpose of maintaining a permanent orchestra of the highest character resident in Chicago, and incidentally of securing per manently to Chicago the services of Theodore Thomas. The concerts contemplated are to be given next October, and tbe contract provides for a series of 20 weeks every tear for live years. The clause in tbe contract that has caused the trouble is one by which Thomas agrees not to employ in his orchestra for these 20 week serials any local .musicians, but to re cruit it entirely from European musicians or those from other States. Two weeks ago Thomas asked Prof. Rosen becker to secure tbe services for the week of March 23, for a concert, of If musicians, naming those he preferred should be engaged. Rosenbecker laid the communication before the musicians. The-, with one accord, decided that they would have nothing to dn with it, for if thev were not good enough to play next fall, they would not play uow. Tho matter is cer tain to be brought up before the annual meet ing of the National League of Musicians, wbich convenes next week at Miluaukee. KILLED HERSELF AND CHILD.

After sumo discussion, it was decided that as Pennsylvania bad already erected a monument there to Goneral Reynolds, this bill would be iiupusinx an uniair snare oi me cost upon ner, and they would therefore stand by the bill which bas already passed the Senate, and will doubtless pass the House, appropriating S10O, 000 for statues of Generals Meade and Han cock. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Zeigler, W.F. Stewart and Nesbitt, was appointed to act with General Gobln, wbo introduced the Senate bill. THE BANK INVSTIGATI0N. An Interesting: Paper on Reserve Funds by Charles Meyran, of Pittsburg. fFKOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. J Hakrisburo, March 10. At a meeting of the commission to investigate tbe banking in stitutions of tbe Stato this afternoon, a paper prepared by Mr. Charles Meyran, of Pittsburg, was read. The paper dealt with the question of a reserve fund, and held that a commercial discount bank should have 15 or 25 per cent re serve, as m tho case of a national bank. A savings bank, paying interest on deposits, and from which money cannot be drawn on demand, most having rules requiring notices varying from one week for SluO. to 12 weeKs for S1.200. need not carry a reserve of more than 5 or 7 per cent, as these notices give them ample time to call on funds to meet the demands. xo compel a savings bauk with 82,000,000 to keep a reserve of 25 per cenr, would mean tbat it must-pay interest on 500,000 which it could not invest. This could not be done unless tbe rate of Interest upon deposits were decreased in proportion to that part compelled to be kept idle. OPPOSING THE P00B LAW BILL. Charles Robb and W. H.

Guy, of Pittsburg, appeared before the Judiciary General Committee of tbe House to-day iu opposition to tbe bill prepared by the commission to revise and codify the poor laws of tho Commonwealth, which pro vides for the establishment of a State Depart ment of Chanties.

It would also repeal the act of 1879, establishing the State Board of Charities, but leaves intact tbe act of 1883, creating the Committc on Lu nacy, which is composed ot members of the board.

Cincinnati is still in the fight, and the Association does not propose to surrender the city without giving the League a taste of battle. "There will be a club here just as snre as there are little apples," said President Louis Kramer to Tnc Dispatch representative to-night. This muruing the delegates were gloomy. The story of the desertion of Al Johnson was not entirely unexpected, but neverthe less it was a blow which, for the moment, dazed the delegates. They gathered together early. President Louis Kramer, Zack Phelps, attorney; Etumot Tompkins, Columbus; J. B. Hart, Boston, and William Barnie, of Balti more, were appointed members of a ways and means committee, and they reported that they seriously questioned tbe validity of tbe trans fer of tbo Cincinnati club to tbe League owners. Tbey recommended that the President and attorney be empowered to institute pro ceedings in law or in equity to frustrate the deal. They declare that the interest of the As sociation demanded that the club be estab lished in Cincinnati, and tbey flattered them selves that the Cincinnati public was favorable to the cause of the Association and 25-cent ball. Under such advice the first legal gun will he fired agaiust Al Johnson et al. to-morrow. The papers are all ready for tiling. C. A. Prince and George W. Wagner sent strong telegrams advising the Association to hold the grounds at all hazards and proceed also against JohLSon. The one item of business transacted was the passage of this resolution: Whereas, In view of the existing baseball controversy it is essential that there should be sufficient funds raised to meet all emergences. Resolved, That each club member be le quired to deposit with the President witbin 15 nays from this date the sum of 5,000, to be held by bim and ued as directed hy the Board of Directors of the American Association.
