Disastrous Effects of tlic Storms fn
Oklahoma and Kansas.
CnirACiO, Feb. 21.—Despatches from I
Guthrie, O. T., Bay that the utiprece- I
dented stornis of January 23 and Febru- j ;
ary 11 and 12 have wrought dire havoc ! 1
among the cattle upon the great ranges f
in the Indian reservations in the territory.
The extreme cold and the unusual ac- j
companiment of large quantities of snow u
could not well be withstood by tattle
already weakened by the shortage of ,
winter pasture and thousands of them (
perished, while those that remain are in a (
very shaky condition. The cattlemen t
who have cattle in this territory will,
many of them, be badly cramped by their i t
losses and they declare that they \v ill (
market what stock they have in the t
spring aud quit the business. Continued ,
low prices, the cutting down of their pas- t
tures by settling of lands and the constant t
meddling of congress with their leases f
with the Indians have caused tin JM all \
to lose heavily for several years and they
will quit entirely or go to some other
part of the territory. If the treaties
made with the Indian tribes ara ratilled j
by the present congress the range land in
this territory will be so greatly reduced
in area that Oklahoma will no longer be I
a factor iu the production of range cattle. I
Kansas advices state that the recent
bli/./.ard and suowstorm which covered
the entire state is the worst on range I
cattle that has visited the state for years. I
if this snow remains long ou', the ground j
hundreds of head of cattle will die of j
starvation. Already they are dying for I
want of feed in several localities, the
per centage of range cattle being at least I
ten per cent, at this lime. Ten days more •
will be very disastrous to the stock in this
state.
IJo Diked To He Called Willie.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 21. —One of the most |
interesting depositions in the Pollard- I
Breckinridge breach of promise case is
that of Mrs. Julia C. Blackburn, widow '
of the late Gov. Luke Blackburn of Ken
tucky, taken at the Portland Hats in
Washington two weeks ago. Mrs. Black
burn said Col. Breckinridge brought Miss
Pollard to her, impelled, as be explained, |
by consciousness of the good influences '
that would accrue from the association of j
Miss Pollard with Mrs. Blackburn. Sub
sequently he expressed his admiration for
Miss Pollard in away that led Mrs. !
Blackburn to believe he was captivated f
by her. Mrs. Blackburn questioned him
earnestly regarding liis intention to Mrs. j
Wing, his present wife, as common re- 1
port had it that he would marry Miss J
Pollard, and he replied in all apparent
sincerity that his intention was to marry 1
Miss Pollard, whom be loved devotedly.
Mrs. Blackburn "said the intimacy of the |
relations between the two was attested by j
the fact that Miss Pollard always called
him "Willie" and that he did uot show
any displeasure thereat.
Courtship in Prison.
BOSTON, Feb. J9.—The Globe publishes
a romantic stor3* reciting the facts of a
courtship that began in the state prison
nearly two years ago and that will cul
minate in the early marriage of the prin
cipals, one of whom will be released from
t hat institution next Monday. Kico M.
Blakely was sentenced to state prison
from Taunton nearly seven years ago to
eight years imprisonment for assault a
fellow-workman and with assault with
intent to murder upon another fellow
workman in a stable in Taunton. His
conduct while in confinement lias been
exemplary and his term has been largely
reduced by his good behavior. The other
party to the love affair is Miss Mollie Nu
nau, an English girl of striking beauty,
who came here from London four years
ago, and is employed in a South End res
taurant. Through an acquaintance who
had been unfortunate enough to have
served "a sentence in prison, she first
heard of Blakely, and at once felt inter
ested in his case, and expressed a desire
to assist him if possible. At her acquaint
ance's suggestion she accompanied him
to the prison on Blakely's visitors day
something like two years ago. It was a
case of love at first sight, and three
months later the couple became engaged.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 19.—Mr. Stoddard,
president of the Gulf and Interstate
railroad company (the North and South
road), a corporation which sprung up out
of a meeting of leading populists in this
city and Topeka, is in Lincoln and says
the road will soon be.built. As an evi
dence of the progress he holds the con
tract entered into by which the company
secures terminal facilities and property
at Point Bolivar, across the bay, three
miles northeast of Galveston, valued at

Long Pays His Respects to Locliren.
FLINT, Mich., Feb. 19.—Judge C. D.
Long, of the Michigan supreme court, ]
addressed the G. A. It. posts at Flint on
patriotism uud pensions, lie arraigned
Commissioner Lochren very severely for
his methods of cutting off the support of
old soldiors without giving them a
chance to show that their pensions were
deserved. "There was a time," said the
fudge, "when congress controlled the
regulation of pensions, but wo are com
ing to a time when one has been raised
up who is mightier than all those before
him."
Blunder of a Bank Cashier
FORT \N AYNK, Ind., Feb. 21.—The pay
master of the Pittsburg, F< rt Wayne &
Chicago railr ad paid out I'l.ooo in new
crisp bills to employes of the road from
the pay car in this city Saturday. The
bills were not signed by the cashier of the
Youngstown, 0., National bank which
issued them, but were signed by Presi
dent McCurdy. This glaring defect made
the bills worthless, and when the money
was handed back to those who offered it
in payment of debts there was great dis
appointment. Many people were de
prived of good Sunday dinners, others
could not pay rent and building associa- j
tion dues, and there was general trouble
as a result. The Youngstown bank made
arrangements with the four national j
banks here to take up the defective money
at par. The cashier's mistake was an ac
cident.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Trouble at Boston
BOSTON'. Feb. 21.—About 2,000 people j
gathered on the common yesterday after- j
noon to listen to addresses by Morrison
L. Swift, Herbert X. Casson an 1 other |
"s icialist-uuurchisLs," as they call I hem- ;
Alter hearing speeches, the crowd 1
marched to-the state house, where Swift
aud Casson were made a delegation to
visit Governor Greenhalge. They de- j
mauded, as they themselves put it, that ;
employment should be given to the
crowd which they led. The governor in- j
timated to Swift and Casson that he !
would do ull iu his power to help the uu- j
employed, and that he had no doubt that
the legislature would do something for
the men. He consented to come out an I
address the crowd. He said to the p?ople
that, personally, lie would do all he could
ntul that he would recommend action by
the legislature. Still, lie said, the legis
lature had no power to give work to the
unemployed except it had money to pay
them, and except the works on which
they should be employed were necessary
for the general good, lie insisted thut
the first duty of every citizeu was obedi- !
I ence to the laws, if the laws were not
right it was the fault of the people of
Massachusetts, not that of the governor
or the legislature. He said they were
simply there to express the will of the
people who scut them, as they under
stood it.
! After this Swift and Casson, followed
j by a crowd of unemployed, went up to lay
their petition, which was couched iu the
' terms of demand, before the senate and
I house of representatives.
On their return from the chamber,
Swift ascended to one of the little side
galleries and delivered a speech that
I sounded strangely out of place iu the
historic old hall. "We will clean out the
j state house," he cried, "if we ciou't get
what we want."
I The rabble, for such it was, accepted the
declaration with enthusiasm.
Private Secretary Thomas was standing
\ near and at the enunciation mentioned
repaired hastily to the governor an 1 re
-1 ported the state of affairs. Gov. Green
| bulge grabbed his hat and headed for the
1 scene of action. Meanwhile, however,
; Swift had finished and had ascended the
stairs and stood outside the chamber door
awaiting Representative Mellen, whom
he desired to introduce the petition. The
j governor met him.
I "Did you state that you would clean
' out the state house?" asked the governor.
Swift cowered, "I did,"be half muttered,
; "but I stated that we would do it with
■ the ballot."
I This was absolutely untrue,
j "You wish to qualify it iu that way?"
continued his excellency.
"Yes," replied the agitator.
"Well," said the governor, clinching
his hands, "1 do not like that language,
sir, and it won't be tolerated. 1 warn you
Swift's bravado was all gone. He
quietly slipped out of sight and minified
with the crowd that surged about. Prev
ious to this episode Gov. Greenhalge had
; summoned Representative Mellen to his
presence. "Mr. Mellen," he said, "I want
you to he on the side of law and order."
Meantime, Chief Wade of the district
police had telephoned to police headquar
ters and fifty blue-cgats marched up Bea
con street, and taking the side entrance
to the state house made a clean swath
through the mob. straight to Doric hall,
! where they halted, to await the orders of
Chief Wade. These orders were not slow
in coining. They were to clear the state
house and grounds of intruders, who at
that time had become a hissing, howling
mob. This was but the wc rk of a mo
ment, for the nn re sight of the blue uni
forms and brass butms was apparent y
enough to quell all anarchistic tendencies.
Before the bluccoats the mob melted
away, out of the hall, down the broad
steps and on to Beacon street.
There were some shouts of "Kill the
police," but the shooters took good care
to Keep in the background. The crowd
gradually made it sway back to the com
mon and tin state house once more re
sumed its accustom* d quiet.

CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.
Six Years Jur McKane.
BROOKLYN, X. Y., Feb. 20. — John Y. j
McKane. the lormer Gravesend political 1
chief, who was sentenced to six years in |
state prison yesterday, will not go to Sing j
Sing to-day as was expected. Lawyer |
Roderick, after considerable hustling, i
succeeded in getting from Justice Edgar 1
M. Cullen a stay of proceedings until!
Friday next. The hearing will take place
at 10 o'clock on Friday morning in the
supreme court, Brooklyn. After Mr. Mc- j
Kane was taken to t le Raymond Street
jail, Lawyer Roderick and Colonel James
at once began work on the papers in the
fuse. They worked all day long and it ,
was dark before they had finished the
task. Shortly b fore 0 o'clock the papers
ou which an appeal for a stay were to be j
made were finished. Mr. Rod rick hur
riedly left the Clarendon hotel and, jump- !
ing into a cab. hurried to th • home of j
Judge Culleu on Willow street. The judge
was getting ready to retire for the night.
Mr. Roderick presented his case aud after
along argument Justice Cullen finally
granted a stay us stuted above.
When Mr. Roderick received the judges
signature to the papers he left the house
and hastened to the Raymond street jail,
where he served the papers on Sheriff
Buttling. W en the lawyer arrived at
! the jail Mr. MeKane was asleep. He was
awakened aud when told that a stay had
been granted he merely sal t that he
thought it would. It ic said tiiat the
lawyer for Mr. McKane appealed to Judge
Pratt for a stay, but he refused to listen
to them.
News from the jail this morning istoth'
effect that McKane spent a decidedly
restless night and that he is completely
dazed at the position he finds himself iu.
He is trying to face the music as bravely
as possible, but there is 110 disguising the
fact that his conviction, the sentence of
six years, and the seeming hopelessness
of the efforts to preveutor delay his en
tering state prison, has almost stunned
him.

under examination. Evi-ryt ; ing was go
ing 011 quietly when Harris jumped to
his feet and, pulling a big gun, yelled:
"Hold up your huuds or I'll blow your

backed towards the door and with his
revolver still covering the court officials,
1 he slipped the boit with his lefi hau l
; and opening the door dashed into the cor
ridor, locking the door after him. Quick
I as a flash Inspector Latimer threw open

Anarchy in France,
PA HIS, Feb. 21,—This city is t -day in
a fever ol excitement and alarm over the
dynamite outrages of yesterday and the
* ii tire force is at work endeav
oring to find the culprits. A number of
persons are suspected and it is probable
many anarchists will be under arr.st
within the next few hours.
The bomb found in the hotel No. 47 Rue
du Foubourg St. Martin, after the explo
sion in the hotel at 69 Rue KL Jacques,
was discovered through a letter received
by Police Commissary Dresch. The le ter
was signed "Etienne Kabardy" and an
nounced that the writer was about to
commit suicide at the hotel referred to.
The police commissary went tp the place
expeet.ng t hat he would find the body of
a dead man. When bo opened t.o door !
ol the room to which he was directed he i
found instead a bomb. The whole thing, j
it is thought, w as fi plot to kill M. Dresch, |
but the trap failed to work, the bomb not !
exploding. M. Dresch is the officer who j
arrested Rnvachol.
M. Belonino, the police commissary in
the Sorbonne district, also receive 1 a iet
j ter signed "Ktieune Kabardy," sitniiar to
I the one received by M. Dresch, but he did
| not go to the hotel until after the explo
! sion occurred.
! M. Girard, the chief of the municipal
labnrat.ory, made a proposal that the
homo found by M. Dresch bo exploded
by electricity in the place where it
was found in order tint he might
study the effects of the explosion.
M. Raynal referred the proposal to the
cabinet and a council was hel l at the
Klysee palace, the result being that M.
Girard was authorized to carry out the
experiment by placing a dynamite car
tridge on each side of the bomb and ex
ploding them by means of an electric
battery. All the residents of the house
Were driven out, and when everything
was ready for the explosion, every win
daw of the surrounding houses were
packed with spectators. The police hav
ing drlv.ui the people out of the street
in the immcd : ute vicinity, Police Prefect
Repine gave the order to turn on the
current, and there was a sudden detona
tion like the explosion of a cannon. Tne
room was found completely wrecked and
filled with the odor of picric acid, l'r >-
jec'iies, hobnails and bits of zinc were
I s ait. re 1 all over. M Girard says that
the bomb was evidently splendidly made.
I The explosion, earlier in the day, at the
| hotel at 69 Rue St. Jacques, was terrific.
The building is in ruins and Madame
Calabresi, the proprietress, is mortally
wounded, receiving a terrible wound in
the stomach. The two lodgers, also
injured, will recover. There are sev
eral theories to account for the explo
sion. One is that the bomb had a time
fine attached to it, though so far as
can be learned, no smoke was seen as
cending from anywhere in the v.ciuity of
the bomb. Another is that the bomb con
| taiued some acid solution that soaked
throng!', cotton or other mat -rial until it
reach d the explosive in the bottom of
the in ernal machine. The third theory
is that t lie prniiig of a do r destroy -d
tin* equilibrium of the b >inb, which, top
pling over, fell to the floor, exploding by
The excitement caused by this outrage
was added to when it was learned t nit an
attempt had been made to blow up, or at
least injure, the handsome buildings of
the ministry of foreign affairs on the
Quai d'Orsay. A metal tube was found
lying at the entrance of the fore gn oflUe,
which, it was suspected, was loaded with
dynamite. The tube was turned over to
the police and an examination* prayed it
to b - a deadly engine of destruction,
j The hotels are already sufferers from
I the scare caused by the anarchists, and it
is probable that the latest demousti ations
of the willingness of the anarchists to
spread the "propaganda by the ait" will
cause a further falling off in their receipts.
William Visits Bismarck.
BF.RLIN, Feb. 20.—Emperor William's
journey to Friedrichsruhu to return the
visit of Prince Bismarck was marked by
one continuous ovation, aud it is possible
that the emperor was never before
Bi marck looked cheerful ami fair y
strong, lie was wrapped in a gray cloak,
made at the emperor's orders after the
style of the new army mantles and re
cently sent to Friedriclisruhe with his
majesty's compliments. He expressed his
disapproval of the police efforts to push
back the crowd, and remarked to two or
three of the zealous officers: "if these
persons wish to see, lot them see as much
as possible."
The party immediately proceeded to the
prince's residence, where Princess Bis
marck, who was in the main hull, warmly
welc med his majesty.
Neither Count Herbert nor Count Wil
liam Bismarck was present.
The dinner iu the castle was informal.
All the guests enjoyed animated conver
sation with their host. After the eleven
courses had been served the prince pro
posed the toast to the emperor, who re
sponded cord.ally. Each spoke only a
few words.
The park around the castle was illumi
nated. One device of colored gas lamps
showed the words: "Wilhelm and Bis
marck." Ilis majesty was so much pleased
with this combination of names that he
called Bismarck to the window t> direct
his attention to it.
The imperial party, accompanied by
Bismarck, left the castle at 9:30 o'clock.
A cheering crowd awaited them near the
station.
The firemen who had been drawn up to
keep the the spectators back were tiiptble
to hold them back. The people broke
through the lines an.l thronged the road
way close to the carriages. The em per r
and old chancellor smiled and bowed re
peatedly in response to the constant
cheering. The parting at the station was !
as cordial as the welcome. Tne imperial .
train arrived in Hamburg an hour later.
While the emperor was at the station the |
crowd outside cheere-l incessantly for the !
emperor and Bismarck.
Only a Personal Visir.
LONDON, Feb. 21 —The correspondent
at Berlin of the Daily News says that not j
a single one of the Berlin papers had any
thing to say editorially in regard to the
emperor's visit yesterday to.l'riilce Bis
marck at Friedriclisruhe. The papers
contain only brief details of the reception
of ins majesty, etcetera. This was taken
to indicate that the visit was regariled by j
the emperor as simply a personal one.

gerous he is. I speak of this with a good
deal of feeling at this time for th • pos
sibilities of evil that are wrapped up in
the political boss have recently been
brought home to me." "There are men,"
| he continued, "outside of Tammany
i hall, who, notwithstanding the purely
moral character of this fight for muu
! icipal reform, are doing everything in
; their power to hinder it. I have tried to
control my emotions, but I roust speak
plainly in this matter, for my blood has
been boiling all day at the way our at
tempts for a thorough investigation have
been fought. Men who appear to be in
favor of moral reform, under the rule of
Plattism, are doing their best to defeat
tins work."
D . Park hurst spoke very sarcastically
of the fact that after all the efforts that
hail been made the senate, professing to
be in favor of the investigation, had
finally allowed them but two months for
it. He desired it to be especially under
stood that ho was not impeaching the in
vestigating committee. "H it 1 wish we
could get rid of p litics." lie said. "I
don't see why the republican machine
or Pluttism or the democratic machine
should have anything to do with our in
vestigation of the corruption which every
body knows exists. We have looked to
Albany for help, but instead they have
given us delay after delay."
