FIGHTING SAND AND &N0W. la Jforthern Colorado aad Wyemiac Mem Suffbr Great Hardships While Cieaalas the Tracks Heavy Iass or RaHge Stock In Some Sectloas. Denver, April 8. Belated travelers from the east report that the storm through Kansas was the worst evet known in that section. Many ot the passenger trains, now more than 48 hours late, are battling with snow and sand on the prairie. Superintendent Bogard, of the Union Pacific, with headqnarters at Cheyene Wells, has a large force of men clearing the tracks. In places within 60 or 75 miles of Denver the snow was found in cuts from 550 to 40 feet deep, being ovei the tops of telegraph poles in instances ine JttocK island experienced more trouble, perhaps, than any other line. The first train from the east over this road in 60 hours arrived today. The Missouri Pacific, the Kansas Pacific di vision of the Union Pacific and the Santa Fewere much hindered. The trains are getting through on all roads today. The reports from northern Col orado and Wyoming are to the effect that the wind and sandstorm was so fierce that men at work cleaning the way were obliged to wear covering over their faces, the sand cutting even through the cloth like a knife and lacer erating the shovelers in a horrible fash ion. The loss of range stock in some portions of eastern Colorado, it is said, will amount to 20 per cent of the total. Many cattle drifted into Hugo, Colo., and perished, which had been driven before the wind from the north over 100 miles. EARLY PEACE STIIX EXPECTED. 4n reus' Work In the West.

X?mroF 3IKXICO, April 8. The. fall ing of silver exchange has had a con tinued beneficial effect on Mexico's re mittances abroad. The only drawback tola large volume of business has been tliafc the bank-: will not generally sell exchange to buyers at the ruling quota lions. The volume of business was larger last week than that of the week before, and the immense surplus of money in the big houses is being cut ibwn For the first time in the history at the Mexican republic tho national budget for the fiscal year, beginning Jan. 1 next, does not show a deficit. The budget committee has presented its report before congress and reports an ex cess over expenditures of 100,000. The result of the efforts made to balance re ceipts and expenditures in the face of the groat exports of Mexican silver is a surprise even to the most sauguine. Sec retary of the Treasury Limantourand the entire administration are being con gratulated on all sides at the result ot the efforts to sustain Mexico's credit ance the silver crash, which for a tmw threatened to overwhelm this country. Involved In tho Wilde Cast, Lokdox, April 8. There is not the slightest ground for jtho -report that Oscar Wilde has attempted to commit suicide, and it is not jtrne that eveu a nunor to this effect was current here, last evening. Further startling revehv tionsiu connection with the Wilde case are hinted at. It is said that Alfred Taylor has determined to drag' down with him all whom he can if he is prosr ecuted, and tliati this will involve one of the most prominent men in England, whoso name has been freely whispered about in connection with this scandal. China Abject Submission Arouses Some Distrust. Sati Francisco, April 8. The follow ing advices were received by6teamer from Tokio: Early peace is still confi dently expected by the leaders of the Japanese government, although not as unqualifiedly as 10 days ago. Then the conviction of the ministers was so posi tive that activity in military circles ma terially relaxed, and the departure sf several bodies of troops previously or dered to China were delayed until the outlook should become clearer. Now these troops are again ready for an im mediate start. Count Ito and Viscount Mutsu, whose opinions are of first importance, are strongly convinced that China earnestly desires to close the war at once.' If the Chinese ambassadors' powers are curtailed, itisin consequence of a deliberate intention to deceive, but it is almost incredible that the Chinese government should invite further disas ters by needlessly irritating their antag onist at this stage.

A Scheme That Was Developed br Gal lant Colonel Wilk. Joseph Tanski, the Polish refugoe, narrates- mauy stories of tho shifts to which ho and his fellow exile3 were compelled to resort in order to keep soul and body together. Nouo of these is more curious and interesting than one relating to his frieud, Colonel Wilk, who had been decorated by tho emperor of tho Fronch for gallant service in the French army, but who afterward found himself obliged to live upon CO francs a month. It was pretty tight work, and so Colo nel Wilk had to confess, but one day he met with a strange bit of good fortune. Ho had been out for a walk aud was on his way homo when a big Newfound land dog camo running down tho street, pursued by a gang of boys and men, all armed with sticks. The. dog, panting and terrified, ran straight toward Colo nel Wilk and took refuge between his feet. Tho crowd drew near with loud and excited shouts. "It is a mad dog! Kill him!" A policeman, inoro courageous than the mob, stepped forward. "Halt!" shouted tho knight of tho Legion of Honor. "Tho dog belongs to me. It is not mad." His resolute air and perhaps tho red ribbon in his buttonhole made an im pression upon tho policeman. 'Very well," he said, "since tho dog is yours, lead him away." So said; so done. Colonel Wilk took the dog home, washed and combed it, aud thon went with it to tho butcher's to buy it some scraps of meat. For 25 centimes tho butcher cavo him a fine lot, and on his way homo Wilk bought a few vegetables. All these bits bits of meat, bones and vegetables ho put into a pot to gether with a suitable quantity of wa ter, and out of tho potr both he and the dog made a sumotuous dinner. Tho problem of living was solved. Day af tor day, as often us his purse ran low, which was pretty often, he bought bits of meat "for his dog." Nobody was the wiser, and the Polish exile and his dog lived upon 'So centimes a day, and tho knight of tho Legion of Honor could onco more receive his friends like a man of tho world. LOSS OF THE PRESIDENT. Strange Story of the Scuttling of a Great Steamship by Pirates. wnat a strango story is tnac com municated by tho Duke of Newcastle to Tho Globe concerning tho loss of tho President! Ho says that a trustworthy informant in tho United States assured him that a sailor, dying in an American port, had confessod to having formed one of tho crew of a pirate vessel which captured tho great steamship. "Every soul on board was made to walk the plank, and'the ship was scuttled." Tho story seems incredible, yet it may oe true, ana tno possibility of it gives ono quite a shock. It is 50 years ago and moro since tho President disappear ed from human sight, without, I be lieve, leaving a trace. Tho loss of no other vessel for it was tho first of tho j great passenger ships to go has caused so great an oxoitemont. How thoso at homo clung to hopo, somo of them for years for tho notion of tho crew being wrecked on somo out of tho way island was eagerly adopted aud how many a heart was broken by tho intolerable suspense! At last'it was generally con cluded that tho ship had collided with an iceberg and foundered. And now comes this terrible story, which, it is fortunate, was not conceived of when it would have had tho power to make those at homo moro miserable It is not to bo forgotten, however, that moro than 0110 story has been re cently written upon this subject tho capture and scuttling of a passenger steamer and it seems moro likely that they havo suggested tho idea being adapted to the loss of the President than that a solitary pirato should havo re-, vcaled such a long kept secret of tho seas.

Taking, in addi tion, the number of dialects he used, somo so diverse from the mother tongue as to coustituto a different languaco, Dr. Russell says that the cardinal was master of no less than 11 1 different lan guages and dialects. His German was so excellent that he was taken for a na tivo of Germany, while his French and Euglishwero equally pure. Dr. Tholuck heard him converse in German, Arabio, Spanish, Flemish, English, Latin, Greek, Swedish and Portugueso at one of tho pope's receptions, aud afterward Mezzofauti gave him an original poem in Persian and left him to take a lesson in Cornish.

Among tho stories told about tho ex periences of police telegraph operators by tho attaches of tho electrical bureau i3 one which relates to an ex-special officor, who is now a regular operator at a substation up town. While acting as "sub" in a West Philadelphia dis trict he received a call from the cen tral, .which ho promptly wroto on his slate as ho received it. At tho closo of the message ho found that it read: "Send wagon to Phil. Ahosp. and learn condition of Hen. Coop." Ho was com pletely stalled. He could not imagino who Phil. Ahosp was, nor whero he was to bo found, nor what particular hen coop tho ceutral was interested in. Ho folt that thero was a mistako some whore, but was satisfied that it must be at tho other end of tho wire. As tho hour was near relioving timo, ho decid ed to wait aud consult his relief before sending tho wagon on a wild goose chaso or asking tho central to repeat. On tho arrival of his relief he was iu formed that tho operator who had seat tho messago generally abbreviated his messages, and probably tho one received would read: "Send wagou to Philadel phia hospital and learn condition of Henry Cooper." This provod to bo tho proper solution.. Philadelphia Record. Poor Vootlcock Poor Sonl!
