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.

2. Show a Deficit.
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.

ONE WAY TO LIVE CHEAPLY. .
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. London News.

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.

under something,, to crouch down. In
natnro wild no would cnoose some
bracken or somo low shrub. Holly ho
particularly loves, and there ho would
uestlo down and doze tho hours away,
but here, poor bird, iu rural Piccadilly,
ho could find 110110 of these, and so he
finally nestled up to a lamppost, and,
stunned and stupefied, he fell asleep

on the next day. Critic.

Peter the Great of Russia had the
typical face of a Russian peasant. A
short, thick nose, with largo nostrils,
heavy brows, full, sensual lips, wido
mouth and high check bones were among
his most prominent features. His head
was almost round and showed by its
