The stopping of the war shirs hero Is a

WASHINGTON , Jon. 23. The present out
look Is unfavorable to the1 senate's giving
much attention to the Hiwalltn treaty dur
ing this week. The agreement to vote on
Thursday on I ho Teller resolution reaffirm
ing the doctrine that United States bcnda
are payable In silver at the option of the
government , will , In all probability , result
In the oonate'a giving the major portion of
Its tlmo until that date to this measure with
the exception of that necessary to the con
sideration of appropriation bills. Senator
Turplo has given notice of a speech on the
Teller resolution for tomorrow , and It Is
expected the other spcechen for It will be
made by Mr. Teller , Pettlgrcw , White nnd
others , and that there will also be some ad
dresses In opposition. Senator Nelson has
offered an amendment declaring for the
maintenance of the parity of the two metals ,
but the silver men , considering this proposed
modlflcatlon hostile to their purposes , will
tiot accept It. They say they will Insist upon
a vote upon the resolution as It stands.
The pension appropriation bill will be
called up Monday , and as coon as It Is dis
posed of the senate will bo asked to take
UD the legislative , executive and Judicial ap
propriation bill , Each of these will provoke
some debate , but It Is not expected to be
prolonged In cither case.
When the treaty next comes up Senator
Teller will bo recognized to speak In Its sup
port , and ho probably will be followed by
Senator White In opposition. The vote on
the treaty now appears at'least thrco weeks
distant.
The houpo program for this week Includes
Httlo of Interest beyond the limits of the
District of Columbia. Almost the entire
week will be devoted to the Dlatrlct of Co
lumbia appropriation bill ,
H Is expected that the Indian appropria
tion bill , the consideration of which was
begun yesterday , will be , completed tomor
row. The only Item In the bill which Is
likely to cause much of a contest Is that
providing for the leasing of the gllsonlte
beds of the Uacompahgrp Indian reserva
tion In Utah. Thla provision was beaten In
the last Indian bill , and \vlll be stubbornly
contcatod now. The district bill will prob
ably consume the remainder of the week.

PHILADELPHIA , Jnn. 23. With a deaf
ening crash that was heard for squares a
portion of the cast wing of the old state
house fell tonight. No harm was done to
the historic building , as the arch which
collapsed was not connected with It , a sec
tion of the wing next to the cast wall ol
Independence hall having been torn out under
the restoration plans now being carried cut.
The accident was duo to the cxponi'd rtuto
of the building. The two wings had been
torn down with the exception of the arches
on cither side. The cast wall of the east
wing and the west wall of the west wing
were left standing their full height , about
thirty feet.
At 0 o'clock Watchman Lewis Felglcy
made his rounds in the cast wing. He
walked along the top of the west wall Hnd
through nnd over the three arches. Every
thing appeared to be In first-class condition.
Ho had Just left this portion of the buildIng -
Ing and was standing in front of the state
house when there suddenly came a crash
that nearly threw him from his feet.
An investigation was made at once and It
was found that the whole of the western
arch , half or the middle arcli ana n small
portion of the cistern arch had fallen In.
The wnlls fell toward the west. It wns the
opinion of the contractors' men who were
there that the mortar had been softened by
the heavy rain of Saturday night and the
strong wind tonight did the rest.
At the time of the collapse the wind was
blowing almost a gnlo across Independence
square. A largo area of tin roofing , very
heavy , which had been taken from the
building , was lying upon n pile of bricks.
It wns tossed about by the wind almost like
so much paper.
Reports received from various parts of
eastern Pennsylvania and south New Jersey
indicate that a windstorm ot mare than
ordinary velocity passed over those sections
today , but no great damage resulted. Heavy
winds prevailed along the coast , but up tea
a late hour no disasters to shipping wcre _
reported.
In this city the -wind - reached a maximum
velocity ot forty-one miles an hour , but be
yond damage to trees and signs there were
no serious results. The lido In the Delaware
river reached Its highest in a year and the
schooner John Davis , which has been
anchored near Gloucester , broke away and
drifted on shore some distance below.
HOSTON , Jill. 23. A severe storm , at
tended by unusual phenomena , passed over
New , England today , causing heavy rains in
the southern portion , ten or twelve Inches ot
snow fa Maine and New Hampshire , thunder
and lightning In the extreme northeast , and
practically a tlual wave on the coast from
Capo Cod to Portland. Tcalght a gale Is
blowing east cf Portland and the atorm
seems likely to Increase io force as It pas&es
over- the provinces.
Whllo the heavy snows In Malms caused
some delay In railroad transportation , and
the severe rains In the south were responsl-
'blo for numerous washouts , the most de-
stuictlvo feature of the storm seems to
have been In the tremendous tide which
swept In from the sea at noon , Inundating
the greater part of the coast and causing a
heavy loss to owners of property along the
watef front.
At Gloucester the tldo was the highest
since the memorable storm In 1&51 and
caused nn estimated loss ot property cltu-
ated on the water front at over $10,000.
Other localities along the shore also re
ported losses from the tldo of more or labs
extent.
CH.ICA.GO , Jan. 23. The snowstorm ot
loot night and this morning was the worst
In this city for years. The greatest damage
M 'well as inconvenience caused by
the 'breaking ' down of 'telegraph ' and tele
phone wires. In this roipsct tlio damage
was widespread and In nil parts of the city
poles and wires were brought to the ground.
Tbo police telephone eystem was badly crip ,
pled and there was much trouble with tlio
city fire alarm system. The street car oerv-
ice , which > lat > 3 nl&'nt was ( badly delayed and
t&tally suspcndc'J ! on some of the llnea , was
In belter running order today. Th com

Master dithers of the union depot said
Soturd'ay ' night WES cno of the worst railroading
reading nights ho had ever known. On ac
count of tlio breaking * lown of the telegraph
wires they were totally < at sea as to the
Whereabouts of the trains. The storm wen
attended iby curious electrical Olsplayn In
several teotlons of the city nnd the a.tmofl-
phero eeeraed to bo filled with electricity ,
which evidently came from the numeroua
trolley wires. Uctwocn midnight and 3

MILWAUKEE , Jan. 23 , Tlio most severe
blizzard which baa visited this city In years
continued In Its fury until about C o'clock
tonight. Snow to tbo depth of eighteen
Inches has fallen and with Jho wind blowIng -
Ing at the rate of fifty miles per hour great
drlfta were formed In all parts of the city ,
making travel almost an Impossibility. On
sevini.l lines of street railway traffic was at
a standstill early In the night and only Uio
most important thoroughfares were .kept
open with the aid of the powerful sweepers
until a.n hour before m.dnlght , when these ,
too , were stalled , so rapidly did the tmow
drift.
Trains came in very irregularly and only
passenger trains , o.ch with the aid of sev
eral locomotives , attempted to get through ,
those carrying freight being abandoned.
Every telegraph wire In thu state was
crippled and news from the outside world
was received over the long distance telephone -
phone wire.
Nona of the boats of the different lines
entering Milwaukee- ventured out last night.
Ho far as known no tnlsb.ps In the line of

throughout the city and scores of people nar
rowly escaped being struck by flying gla& ?
from windows demolished by the wind. The

fifty miles nnd hour and the water In the bay
has been lowered about three feet.
AKIION , O. . Jan , 23. The palo ot last

dews were blown In , chimneys toppled over
and the roof blown from the Cascade mills.
The Cuyahoga river is overflowing Jts banks
and the Valley railway tracks are submerged
in many places.
LOUISVILLE. ICy. , Jnn. 23. A special
to the Courier-Journal from Evansvllle , Ind. ,
says ;
"Ulvcr men reaching port today say last
night's storm was the wont on the river In
twenty years , yet no serious loss Is reported
to steam craft. A houseboat occupied by
GeorgeAtkins nnd his two young daughters.
Just above the city , was swamped during the
night and the occupants took refuge 'In n
largo skiff. The boat wan anchored to a
tree near the bank , but the land around It
wan overflowed tor a half mlle In all direc
tions. When the unfortunates took refuge
In the skiff the darkness and the storm
evidently bewildered them , for they never
reached the shore. Todny the skiff was
found floating near their swamped homo
half filled with water nn dthe thrco occu
pants dead in the bottom o' the little
craft. They died from exposure.

CINCINNATI , Jan. 23. The sky Is clear
tonight nnd the mercury registers 3S. A
brisk breeze has been blowing all day.
Last night nt ono time for about five minutes
the wind showed a maximum velocity of
forty-two miles nn hour. However , It
moved for several hours In the afternoon
and afterward at from twenty to thirty
miles per hour. Some damage was done to
telegraph and telephone wires , mostly out
side the city , all of which have been re
paired early today. A hundred thousand
buahels of coal was sunk at Fleming's Land
ing In the Ohio In the western part of the
city by waves rolled up by the wind. All
losses hero "th'us" far "are Inslgnlfiwint. All
business men whose cellars would be Inun
dated at fifty-flvo feet of water or at a
lower stage are busy tonight removing their
wares out of danger. The Ohio river here
tonight at 7 o'clock reached forty-nine feet
and nine-tenths Inches , a rise of five feet
and four-tenths Inches since C o'clock last
night. U became stationary at that stage.
Nc-ws from Portsmouth , 0. , is that for
twelve hours up to C tonight the river rose
seven feet and was still rising nt the same
rate. This flood has about 120 miles to
travel to Cincinnati. At ail West Virginia
points rising floods arc reported. The same
story comes from tributaries In Pennsyl
vania cod Ohio. This makes It sure that
the maximum here will be not less than
fifty-three feet and at the same times gives
ground for apprehension of a great flood
of fifty-five , with a possibility of fifty-eight
feet. Either of the latter two stages would
render the Grand Central depot Inaccessible
for trains and would prevent all large boats
from passing under the bridges. The
stieams below Cincinnati are all pouring In
their floods , wljlch will hold the water hero
at very near the present stage till the rise
from Portsmouth leaches here and swells it
to llfty-flve feet.
LOUISVILLE , Kyi , Jan. 23. There Is still
danger of an overflow oP the lowlands along
the banks of the Ohio , for the river today
started to rise again and is creeping up the
uanKs at tnc rate ot two inelica an Hour.
The Indications are that the mark of thirty
feet will bo shown before the waters begin
to recede. In fact , the conditions are so
similar to those of the floods of 1SSG and
1KS1 that the oldest and best Informed river
men say they would not bo at all surprised
to ECO them equaled. In Shipping Port the
same state cf affairs prevails and all day
today the 'residents were busy moving to
places of safety until the danger Is past.
On the point there Is much alarm felt , for
the cut-off embankment is said to bo unsafe
ind It Is liable to break under the terrible
strain and send the angry waves pouring Into
the houses -that are located In the lowlands
boucath It. It Is estimated that In the event
the levee breaks 1,000 families would be
niadn homeless.
MEMPHIS , Jan. 23. The Mississippi rlvnr
from Cairo to Now Orleans Is r.'slng rapidly
and them Is enough water In sight to send
it above the danger 1lno from Cairo to Vlcks-
burg. The water rose a foot hero today nnd ,
In four days it will iprobably bo above the
danger line. At Cairo the danger line has
been passed , with a further heavy flood com
ing down tlio Ohio , Cumberland aim Ten
nessee. Two crovastes In the levees in the
Mississippi delta are not yet completed , and
It will not bo possible to fill them within
ton days. The Situation Is regarded as ex
tremely grave , and unless there Is a gen
eral -freeze throughout the north Mississippi
ani Ohio valleys a repetition of last year a
flood Is looked for , although the damage will
not bo so great , owing to the fact of Its
bolus early In the year , ami the water will
probably subside before time for pKntlng ,
