bo In better shnpc , not having received so
much of the storm. There Is comparatively
little delay on the state malls , while those
from Canada arc away behind bund. The

grees above zero. From that time the wind
abated somewhat.
Doston has not seen such a severe storm
for years. Seven Inches of snow have fallen
on the level. The streets are In a terrl-
blo condition. On every line the cars arc
blockaded and many telephone and telegraph
wires are down. Many of the schools are
closed. General trnlllc will bo simply ini-
jiosslble today.

KANSAS CITY. Feb. 13. Passenger nnd
freight traffic , virtually suspended for twenty-
four hours on account of the record-breaking
blizzard , Is gradually resuming Us normal
condition. The majority of trains In and out
of the union depot this mornlnu were only
from twenty to thfrty minutes behind sched

i-lsco Is reported ton hours late. The train
from St. Joseph , Mo. , on the Hannibal &
St. Joseph road , Is flvi hours late , and both
the trains on the Itock Island road from Chicago
cage are five hours behind tline.
Itallroad trafllo In Kansas has been ro-
siuued to n great degree. On the central

not yet been oblo to force a passage , but on
the other lines of that system trains are
running nearly on time. This Is also true
of the other roads.

the day and night shifts nt work on the now

mm.Vlth the waves making clear breaches
over government breakwaters and in a driv
ing snowstorm , which blinded Its crow , the
tui Rosaline steamed out of iho harbor for
the rescue of the seventy men who were bo-
lloviul to bo facing death on the waterworks
crib at Sixty-eighth street , it was a deed
of bravo men. Those on the little craft as It
put Its nose beyond the protecting break
waters at the harbor entrance ) were : Fred
erick Drews , contractor ; Harry Lydon , con
tractor ; Herman DiUilke , captain ; Charles
Wimicpar , engineer ; Louis Peterson , llro-
inan.
inan.When
When the news catno over the telephone
from the four-mile crib at noon that the seas
had wrenched away the heavy Iron and
strong timbers of the landing place at that
crib the greatest alarm WHS felt for the
safety of the big gang nf mon shut up In the
crib at Sixty-olqhth street. They had boon
engaged In constructing the now tunnel at
that point and had It nearly completed. The
snow prevented signaling from the shore to
the men , and as there was no telephonic
communication the city hall ofllclals became
hourly more anxious. The men from the
four-mile crib pave accounts of frlehtful
seas which were sweeping their habitation
and breaking in doors and windows. They
felt certain the men at Sixty-eighth street
must bo in an awful plight. Hurry Lydon
and Frederick Drews , the contractors for
the tunnel work , shared these forebodings.
Mr. Drews had a son on the crib who was
the day superintendent. The two mon went
to their tug. Uos-illne , which lay at the foot
of La Salle street. They laid the case before
Captain Herman Dahlkc.
' Of I'll take the boat "
course out , he said.
"Ask the crow if they want to go. "
Engineer Wiiincgar and Fireman Peterson
did not flinch. To the surprise of the crew
the two contractors said they were goiug
also.
HE NEVER SAW SUCH WAVES.
The Uosalino started out at a o'clock. Old-
time tuumon said the boat would not go
further than the breakwater. But it steamed
to the four-mllo crib and was then put on its
coin-so straight for the crib at Sixty-eighth
streot. Captain D.ihlko could not see 100
feet ahead of him. Dangerous roofs lay
directly under his lee. A single mishau ana
nothing could save his boat from certain de
struction. Ho had gone perhaps two miles
when ho observed that the seas wore break
ing on his starboard bow. Ho ordered the
lead line dropped and to his disappointment
found that the seas wore breaking In twouty-
clijht feet of water.Ho had never scon anything -
thing like it , and probably not for twenty-
live years had the waves been so largo on
Lake Michigan.
The water was full of broken Ice about the
size of hen's eggs. The waves were so big
that the tug now running with them rode
them lika a duck and but occasionally did a
comber" fall on deck , depositing Us load of
broken ico. The course was true and the
Rosaline went stratsrht to the crib. '
Anxious faces posrcd through the snow at
the structure. It was still apparently in
tact. The seas hail washed away the doors
and protections of thn lower story , and the
water was rushing through it unhampered
save by the lirm supports of the upper
stories. The second story contained the
dining room and Kitchen. Its windows were
smashed in and the spray was soaking
everything inside. Up in the third story ,
which contained the sleeping rooms , were
the seventy men comprising both the day
and night gangs. The fire In the steve had
urobably gone out for lack of fuel , the sup
ply in the first story being out of reach , for
the men had the bed clothes strapped
around them. Their caps were ilraw'n down
closely over their ears. From the tug they
seemed u woebegone lot and oaclly scared at
that.
ROSALINE IS NEARLY WRECKED.
The Rosaline had eorr.o up on the cas * side
of the crib. Captain Dahlko attempted to
round to under the IPO of the structure. The
boat was about half way around , or directly
broadside of the smi , when a warning cry
went up. A towering wavfi was bo.iring
down on the little cr.ift. Contractor Drews
was standing in front of the pilot house and
the llrcman was near him. Mr.Drows grasped
the tow uost with u death-like crip. The
liroman jumped behind the pilot house and
seized the rail. Engineer Winncgar throw
his full waicht against tie | doors of the
engine room. The captain braced thn door
with his back and hold the wheel llrmly In
his hands. The next Instant an avalanche
of Ice and water fell on the tug.
Everything on the starboard side was
crushed in like cardboard. Water and
ice covered the deck to the rail. The engine
room was nearly full of water , Mr. Draws
had hold on , although badly bruised by the
Ice. Ho haa escaped being carried over
board by ono chance In fifty. The engineer
was thrown clear across the engine room
and badly sluiKcn up. Mr , Lydon alone was
not Injured. Ho had been in the pilot house
and hud escaped with a drenching. Had
Captain Dahlko lost his nerve the next wave
would have pent the tug to the bottom. Ho
pulled the boll to go ahead strong , The
bell , although it lay In the debris on the
dccir , was still faithful to its trust and rang
out the captain's command. The tug swung
around with Its head Into the wind , and al
though it shipped seas constantly the crow
succeeded in getting somu boards In position
to protect the llrehold. The water taken
on board was pumped out and for the time
the tug seemed safe.
All hope of rescuing any ono from the crib
was now abandoned. The mon wore safer In
the crib than aooard the wrecked tug. It
had been intended to talto them off ono by
one by having them suspend themselves
from u tope at the cud of a long projection.
They would then bo seized by the men on the
tug as It rosn on a wave In Just the proper
position. All this was given up and the peg-
plo on the tug wont into a consultation over
inch * own safety. Souio wanted to run to
South Chicago , but Cuntain Dahlko said the
Kosiillna would bo wrecked on the bar there.
Nothing remained but to fnco the furious
blizzard and hope to make Chicago harbor.
The chances wora against bringing the
wrecked boat Into port. Slowly , against
mountains of Ice and water , the Uosailna
labored northward. Great wave combers
foil on the deck and all hands except the
captain were kept at work shnvollng oil the
the loose tea as fast as It fell , Ilia water
washed Into the engine room and was
pumped out again. At 5:30 : In the evening
the Kosallno came under the protection of
the south breakwater. A prayer of thank
fulness wont up from every ono on board.

DECIDED BY SEVEN TO SIX
Decision of Great Importance to Organized
Labor ,
TO INVESTIGATE JUDGE JENKINS1 COURSE
Iteftohitlon * Agreed Upon by tbo .Imllelnry
Committee of tbo Home .Motion of
Senator Vlhis tn Hear Couu.
nel Oierruled.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 13. The house com
mittee on Judiciary today voted In favor of
reporting to the house u resolution for an
Investigation Into the course of District
Judge Jenkins In restraining employes of
the Northern Pacific railroad from quitting
work. The vote was 7 to C.
Senator Vllas of Wisconsin appeared be
fore the committee and urged that the ques
tion was. of such Importance that It should
not bo voted upon until counsel had been
heard. In accordance with this suggestion a
motion was made to postpone the vote until
next Monday and In the meantime
hear counsel. This was voted down by
7 to C and the resolution was then agreed on
to bo reported at once. Had the proposition
to hear counsel prevailed Colonel Robert
Ingersoll would probably have appeared for
the labor Interests and several prominent
lawyers for the other side.
The resolution reported Is a substitute for
the ono Introduced by Mr. McCann , but
differs little from that originally presented.
It antliorl7.es the judiciary committee to pro
ceed on the Investlgatlonlnto Judge Jenkins'
course. Representative Doatner will Intro
duce It Into the house tomorrow. It Is
thought best by the subcommlttco to present
n substitute for the McGann resolution , be
cause that resolution In Its preamble seemed
to assume that Judge Jenkins' actions had
been wrongfuland the committee did not want
to take sides In advance of the investigation.
The members of the subcommittee were
agreed that an Investigation would bo de
sirable.
The substitute for the McGaun resolution
read :
Itesolved , That the Judiciary rntmnltten of
the house bo authorised and directed to
speedily Investigate and Inquire Into all the
I'lrcuiii'itatipef counei'f eil with Iho IsMianco of
tlio writ of Injunction In the case at the
1 > armors Loan and Trust company against the
Northern Pacific company and the several
mutters and things referred to In tlio said
resolution and report to the house whether or
not In any of said matters Ihn honorable Judge
.Tonkins , Judge , of the United States court , li'is
exceeded his authority , nlumud the powers
of piocessof said court , or oupresslvoly o\er-
clsod the same , or has used his olllco to Intlinl-
date or wrongfully restrain the employes of
the Northern I'nclflc railroad or thn olllcers of
the labor organizations of the employes , or
any or them , Hlllllateil In the CM-ielsu of tholr
rlRhts and privileges under the laws of iho
United States , nnd , if so , what action .should
lit their Judgment ho tnkon by the hoiuo and
to further request what , action , If any , should
be tn ken by congi ess. .
The Investigation committee Is authorized
to send for poivms and papers to conduct the
Investigation by a subcommltteo or 1)3'tho
full committed and to report to the l.out > o at
any time.
Representative Boatner will present the
resolution to the house tomorrow , accom
panied by a formal report that on exam
ination of the petitions and affidavits pre
sented to Judge Jenkins for a writ of In
junction , he deems the matter of sufficient
fmpprtaiice to demand Investigation.
Thq substitute was practically the one
reported by the subcommittee. Representa
tives Boatner , Stone and Terry , but a
clause of their original draft stating that
action was taken to avoid such wrongs In
the future was stricken out.

Brewer and Caldwcll to present to that

The briefs are voluminous documents , con
taining mainly exhibits , and the circuit court
willtako a day off to rend the last and prob
ably the greatest work over written by the
growing author , John M. Thurston.
As outlined exclusively in The Bee last
week this course of coupling the government
with the bondholders' interest was recom
mended by Judge Thurston to the receivers
of the Union Pacific and , as Intimated , Gov
ernment Counsel Hoaaly acquiesced in the
recommendation of Mr. Thurston that the
government Interests needed looking after
in view of the stressful condition of affairs.
The contents of the petition are not luiown ,
as the law department Is guarding the Im

arc sworn to secrecy in the matter. How
ever , the gentlemen named will endeavor to
have the circuit court pass upon the ques

CHICAGO , Feb. IS. A meeting of the
Chicago and St. Louis lines has been called
for Thursday of this week to endeavor to
reach some 'agreement regarding second
class rates between St. Louis aiid St. Paul.
The regular rate between these- two cities
Is $13.50 , but Its application via Chicago
gives too much opportunity for a scalp. Some
of the lines do not consider It expedient to
do away with the rate entirely and some
means may be found to adjust the dllll-
culty.

WASHINGTON , Fcb , 13. The receipts
from Internal revenue during the first ten
days of the present month aggregated $5,079-
211 , as against $ ! ,51-1,801 during the corresponding
spending period last year , a gain of $561,407.
This tremendous Increase Is regarded by
treasury officials as a sure sign of returning
business activity. The significance of It will
be understood when It Is known that since
tho-beginning of the fiscal year the receipts
from Internal revenues had constantly de
clined month by month , until the aggregate
receipts for the half-year were fully $12,000-
000 less " than fur the coi responding period In
