Deaths From Snow Slide.
Tho sudden melting by the recent
heavy rains of the unusual amount
f Bnow on the. ground has caused
many rhers to overflow all over tno
uuntry and caused damage which
anniit ut present be estimated. Tho
wtithern part of Uttffalo has experi
enced a flood caused by the rising of
UulTalo and Cazenovla creeks which
nas not been equalled in many years.
People were shut off from the rest of
the oily for from 12 to 15 hours. No
lives were lost though many were en
Lingered. The worst reports como
from Flttsbmx where 50.000 men am
temporarily Idle from enforced shut
ting down of mills. Allegheny City is
s modern Venice and every sort of
Improvised water craft Is In service.
Central New York has suffered se
verely. Th re is a washout on the
Wi'.tertown and Ogdcnsburg nt Ann
villa and or tho Central at Oriskany.
A bad freshet In Wapplnger's creek,
which empties into tho Hudson river
it New Hamburg, did serious damage
to the Dutchess. Print works at Wain

The Iron draw bridge on which the
railroad crosses the crcelt at Its mouih

Reduction In Butter and Eggs.
Iliadstnot's renrrt for the week
Fays: Current demand Is of full vol
ume for this season of the year, while
bus'nciis on spring account goes for
ward In huge volume. This, too. In
the face of unfavorable weather condl
lions In lnrgo sections of the country,
Interruption to mail and telegraph fa
cilities and the check to transporta
tion iperations accentuating older
troubles growing out of car shortages.
lncl"iiO!it weather has, however,
helped rotall trade In rubber goods
and 1. lots and shoes. Prices show
very little Important change during
the week.
The heavy break In wheat prices
at the cH.se of last week, contrary to
expectations, did not bring to light
the repotted InrRe waiting business on
export account. Corn, among the ce
reaia, noted tho chief advance of tho
week.
Hog produces hnve been irregular,
In sympathy with grain, and also with
the movement of live hogs to market.
Some reduction in prices of country
produce, notably eggs and butter, Is
reportable.
Iron and steel are quieter on tho
sitrfnce, but consumption remains un
diminished. Finished products show
no diminution of demand and the scar
city of steed ill still the feature, leading
to predictions that imports of this ma
terial will be very heavy.
In textiles cotton goods appear to
be facing a crisis. Woolen goods dis
play good activity, though labor troub
les aro sti'l unsettled.
Censured by Senate.
Senators Mc I.auiin and Tillman
of South Carolina were severely cen
sured by the United States senate for
the sensational encounter bet ten
the two senators on the floor of
the senate during the consider
ation of the Philippine tariff bill.
Tho adept : ;n of tho resolution of
censure probably closes the Incident
so far as Mr. Mcl.aurin is concerned.
Ditrim: the roll call, when Mr. Till
man's name was railed, he added a
senntion to the proceedings by ris
ing and saying with 111 concealed
emotion: "Among gentlemen an apol
ogy for nn offense committed under
icat of blood Is usually considered
Mifl'icicnt."
Mr. Tillman's words Induced Mr.
Kean of New Jersey to rise at tho
'inclusion of the roll and say: "Hav
ing heard the senator from South
Carolina again Insult the senate, I
rhangp my vote from aye to no."
At the reouost of Mr. Hurrows, tho
Ftalemont of Mr. Tillman was read
by tho clerk. Instantly tho South
Carolina senator disclaimed ary In
tention of being offensive to the senate
and said If his remarks were so con
sidered, lie would withdraw them.
Tile i hair (Fryo) said that by unan
imous coi.mhI they might be with
drawn, but Mr. Dietrich of Nebraska,
Objected. The incident was closed
without further comment.
Secretary Hay's Memorial Speech.
With i.npre.-isive dignity Secretary
Hay aroi-'o at the McKinley memorial
service In the Capitol Thursday and
placed upon the desk in front of him
a roll of manuscript. The secretary's
figure is slight and his scholarly face-
Is usually pale but there was a fluh
iihiii his 1 heck. As he began to read
with a alow, clear enunciation he
seemed aware of tho intense Intel e.-t
not clone in his subject, but in his own
personality, as he read his tribute of
love and loyalty to his departed chief
Throughout the delivery of Mr. Hay's
speei h the audience listened w ith

press the hearers and as Secretary
Hay uttered the last solemn words the
spectators broke Into a perfect storm
of applause which lasted for several
minutes.
The president himself seemed as
deeply Impressed as those about him
arfd both he and the members of the
cabinet woro quite as enthusiastic as
th remainder uf the audience. Ona
flour and 25 minutes were consumed
In the delivery of the oration.

the press banquet to Prince Henry:
"To the German emperor:
"The editors of tho United States,
I, 000 In number, at a banquet In honor
of your Illustrious brother, send you
cordial greetings and all good wishes
for a long and prosperous reign. Wo
hall the presence of Prince Henry tn

ciously pleased to extend."
At Tomb of Washington.
Prince Henry journeyed to Mt. Ver
non Thursday afternoon and placedtno
wreaths In the tomb of Washington.

a dozen cameras who stood round to
refrain from photographing him. The
royal visitor and his party were taken
to Mount Vernon by special train over
the Washington, Arlington and Mount
Vernon electric railway.
Fifty feet down the sward that falls
away from the tomb, Prince Henry

the earth in around Its roots.

Washington house by Superintendent
II. H. Dodgo and there met a delega
tion of the Mount Vernon Ladies' as
sociation, headed by Mrs. Justine Van
Kennselaer Townsend of New York.
He spent a few minutes In hiking at
the Washington relics and then de
parted for Washington.

known in the history of state df Col
orado caused tho deaths of from 30 to
75 men at the Liberty Bell mine on
Smuggler mountain on Friday.
Nearly all tho buildings of the Lib
erty mine were carried down by tho
slide, all the books which show the
number and names of the men em

hours, possibly not until the rescuers
shall have removed the Immense quan
tity of snow, rocks and logs from the
canyon where the victims He burled.

TO TEST THE YACHTS.
Mr. Post Thinks the Greatest
D ff-rence Was In the Crews.
Owner is Willing to Give Use of
Shamrcck II to Race Columbia,
Both Crews to Be American This
Does Not Exactly Meet Mr. Post's
Ideas.
New York, March 4. C. W. Post
of ilattle Creek, Mich., who offered to
charter tht Shamrock II In order to
race her against the Columbia, the
Shamrock to have an American and
the Columbia an English crew, has
received a letter from Sir Thomas
Llptcn In which the latter says:
"In the first place I do not know
whether or not Columbia will be In
commission this season, but If so It
would, In my opinion, he a far better
test to race the Shamrock II against
the Columbia with the latter vessel's
own skipper and crew of Americans
and if you wis-h to do this I will not
accept a charter of Shamrock II, as
you kindly offer, but will let yon
have the use of her during the com
ing season without charge on the con
dition that you fit her out In racing
trim and pay all expenses for the rae
lug season.
"f do not wish to discourage you,
but I feel certain that the Columbia
would lick you."
Mr. Post said that to race both
boats with American crews would not
decide whether American or British
yachtsmen were superior. He main
tained, he said, that an American
crew could get better results from tho
Shamrock and thut a Pritlsh crew
would gpf less speed from the Colum
bia. He believed that under these
circumstances the Shamrock would
win. He said he would send a repre
sentative to London to complete ar
rangement? with Sir Thomas Lipton.
BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE
Governor Taft Favors 75 Per Cent
Reduction In Duties.
Washington, March 4. Governor
Taft was examined by members of the
Insular committee of the bouse on var
ious phases of the Philippine ques
tion. In nnswer to Representative
Hitt's inquiry whether there was Jeal
ousy between the United States mili
tary and civil authorities, Governor
Taft said human nature was the same
In the Philippines as In the United
States and with a dual form of gov
ernment military and civil It was
Inevitable that some friction should be
created at times.
Governor Taft stated, however, that
each side was slnrerely striving to
work out the problems presented. The
governor estimated that the United
Slates military force could be reduced
to 15.0IM) men In one year from this
time and he thought 25,000 men would
suffice now.
Governor Taft again expressed him
self favorable to 75 per cent In duties
and said that while the proposed 23
per rent reduction might do some
thing it hardly would afford the relief
desired. The governor presented let
ters from large employers of labor In
the Islands urging the need of Chi
nese skilled labor. He gave 250,000
Chinese as the outside figure for the
entire grcup of islands.
STATUS OF HAWAII.
Appraisers Say Regular Duties Muat
Be Collected on Imports.
New York, March 4. The board of
classification of the United States
general appraisers has announced a
decision regarding the status of Ha
waii under the tariff laws. A manu
fcaturlng company Imported a hun
dred tons of old scrap iron from Ha
waii, and tho collector at San Fran
cisco assessed the regular duty on It.
The company filed a protest, claiming
that Hawaii was a part of the United
States and that consequently no duties
could bo levied on goods Imported
from there since the passage of the
"act to provide a government for the
territory of Hawaii."
Tho board of classification holds
that under the doctrine laid down by
the supreme court of the United
States In the "Insular tariff cases," the
protest should be dismissed for want
f Jurisdiction.
