When the special session of the

March, the Democrats found them
selves in the majority, by means of
the Republican vacancies causal by
death ar.d appointments to the Cab

ed the sharp dodge of organizing
that body and arranging the stand

would consist of thirty-seven Dem

'.'he Democrats held a cauetw and

they nrrangcel the comniiltee?

unscrupulous partisanship, attempt

the net result of a fair trial was a
general conviction that the Demo

of any other than negative ideas and
destructive aims

neither the wisdom to propose nor

the stories in circulation is to the
effect that last week the Czar re
ceived a small box ostensibly con
taining pills, with a letter from
abroad. When Dr. Botkin opened
the box a slight explosion occurred,
The pills were found to contain a
highly explosive substance1, and
enough to kill three persons if all
the contents simultaneously ex
ploded. A special supplement of
the Oificlal Cizrlte contains a state
ment from the Minister of the In
terior that one of the chief organ
izers of the attack on the Czar, who
was iirrested on March 11, has con
fessed his complicity in planning
the dce:d and denounced Roussakotl'
in person. The officer who assist
ed to raise tiie Czar says he retained
sufficient consciousness to request
to 1)0 taken to the palace to die.

Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Gen
eral : I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of the consedidated
rejtort ot the division ot the Nation
al tjiiard which bore so conspicu
ous a part, under vour commantl
in the inauguration ceremonies of
March 4th in this city of Washing
km anel to ror"r-nt you both
on the organization and strengtn o!
the division, and the pcrlect order
they elispiayed throughout.
That the State of Pennsylvania
could put into Washington a fulldi
vision of five well-organized and com
manded brigades, aggregating 7,0"ti
well-armed, well-clcthed, and well
lnstrucieu omeers ana men, in a
single day, without accident or eon
fusion, was, to me, a matter of sur
prise and of infinite satisfaction.
I congratulate vour State anel vou
the commanding General, for the
skill which produced this result,
and beg to add my professional ad
miration of tho bearing and soldier
ly behavior etf vour entire command
on lnaugura ion Hay. 1 watched
them closely as they passed mc in
review on Massachusetts avenue.
and I have no hesitation in saying
that a liner body ot men was never
seen bv me.
I have no doubt that the knowl
edge of the existence of such a body
of men, subject to the call of vour
Governor and under your orders,
will add largely to the sense of se
curity for life and property in the
great Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia. With sentiments of great re
spect, yo'ir friend and servant.

New York, March 17. One of
the most startling and extensive
robberies that ever occunvd in this
city was perpetrated Wednesday
under circumstaance which evi
dence's almost unparalleled boldness
and skill on the part of the thcives.
Mr. Abram h. Simons, a stationer
and printer, doing business at No.
G2 John street, resides with Lis wife
in a suite of rooms on the second
floor in the large apartment house
at No. 177 East Seventy -second
street. Petween five and six o'clock
Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Simon3 were absent for a short time
from home. On their return they
found that their rooms had been
broken open and literally every
article oi lurmture aid every closet
or either receptiele where valuables
could have been concealed had
been thoroughly ransacked. Every
room was m confusion and the
lloors were covered with the con
tents of the drawers of the bureaus
and secretaries. Mr. Simons had
been printing the bonds and st.xik
i'l . r ...
eertineaies lor some railroad com
pany or companies, whose names
have not been learned, and nearly
81,(XX),(K worth of these securitk's
he had taken to his rooms for safe
keeping and concealment Thev
were unsigned by the proper oiii
cers, but it is said were othervise
complete. Every one of these bonds
and certificates were taken,' together
with $2,000 worth of jewelry and
valuables belonging to Mr. and Mrs.
Simons. The securities, as stated.
were unsigned, but if the thieves,
succeed in skillfully forging the
necessary signatures thev may lie
enabled to negotiate the stolen "prop
er! v.
CnicA'io, March Iff. Another and
the worst storm of the season set in
this morning. A fierce wind ac
companied it, but so solid was the
snow that it did not drift percepti
bly and the wet and solid mass lies
on the streets and pavements like
so'mach ice. The steam cars arriv
ed on time as they were nearly here
when the storm began, but tiie street
cars, after keeping up the battle for
two or three hours, yielded to tho
inevitable and sought their barm.
The snow plows tetok their place on
tho tracks an,d attempted to open
the roads, but with little success,
for their six or eight horses were un
able to keep tiie snow from the track,
as it fell nearly as fast as pushed
off. The streets were black with
pedestrians during the morning,
and later, busses and carriages were
improvised to accommodate travel.
The telegraph wires are weather
bound to mut of the principal
points, und in the city there was
g.-rat interruption in the telephone
and district te.egraph business. The
wires look like two-inch ropes, with
their heavy wrapping of snow.
Inquiry" at the railroad offices
shows that the storm was not ver
severe in the north, but extended
west as far r.a Omaha, south to St.
Louis and Kansas City, and east on
the Pittsburgh and "Fort Wayne
ro.nl as far as Crosline. Kailroad
mm sav tin-re will undoubtedly be
great delays if the storm continues,
as it is of trio most dangerous char
acter of any this season.
All freight trains are abandoned.
The Northwestern road sent out on
ly one train to Milwaukee and no
oth-rs except suburbans. The C.
15. & (2. trains are blockade-d. A lie
Alton train arrived an hour late.
The Illinois Central trains are slow,
but running with some regularity.
The Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne
trains are almost tn time. The
Michigan Central is far behind and
sent out only one train to-night.
Ihe Michigan Southern trains were
delayed by a bad wreck fifty miles
from the city. Incoming trains
were all six heturs behind time.
They sent out only one train The
Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne justified
its reputation by sending out all its
trains on time. The roads not par
ticularly mentioned in the above re
jtort haye either abandoned all
trains or run only suburbans. The
wires arc being prostrated in nearly
every direction. It is impossible to
learn the fate ftf trains which have
gone out and many of them may be
blockaded only a few miles from the
city. There has been a!mest a com
plete stoppage of intramural travel
and trafic and to-night not a street
car is running in the city. The snow
is piied up between the err tracks
and sidewalks so high and llrmlv
that it is impossible to crowd the
snow back from the tracks. It is a
problem of vital interest to citizens
how long the present state of affairs j
is to continue. Nothing bat a heavy I
rain or vert- warm weather will af
ford sjte-cdy relief from the embargo,
anil there would be a Hood if either
.tf these came about.
Sr. Lons, March l'J. The heavi
est snow storm of the winter pre
vailed here all day, with a driving
wind from the west, but the snow
melted as last as it 1.11 and toe
streets to-night are filled with slush
in some places several inches deep.
Dispatches from different parts in
tlic euaie say mat me neaviert trim
ot the season has fallen since lat
night, especially that part of . the
Ntate north of the Missouri river.
The average depth of sno w is over a
foot, but in some places it is two
feet deep. Railroad travel is a good
deal impeded and business is suf
fering, but no trains are reported
abandoned. The snow will prob
ably disappear ir. two or three days
anel freshets in small 'streams may
be expecteel.
Milwaukee, March 10 The
storm to-dav is the worst of the en
tire season. Very high wind pre
vails and the snow is very heavy.
All trains are blockadeel, and street
care-lines and business generally
suspended.
Milwaukee, March 2"). Th
storm is over, but every thing is block
aded. 1 rains will not be runnin
before to-morrow. Dispatches from
Clinton, lowa, tA Paso, Illinois
Chenoa. Decatur, St. Charles am
many other points throughout the
northwest indicates that the storm
of yesterday was far the most severe
of the season, the snow fall bein
from twelve to eighteen inches
heavy, damp, close packed and in
many places drifted bad! v. At dir.

trom the West at four o'clock am
will be compelled to remain unti
to-morrow alternoon. when it
thought the roads will be open to
