IN STORM'S GRIP
Indications That the Worst Blizzard
in Tw enty-Three Years Is
Abating.
Seattle, Wah., Feb. 2. Rising
ttrr.i.eratures throughout the Pacific
northwest early todav indicated that
the storm, which in western Wash
ington was said to b? the worst bliz
zard in twenty-three years was abat-
ing. but apprehension was felt that
a quick change in lh? weather with
its probable accompanying avalanches
in the mountains and floods in the
valleys, would do great damage.
Snow is general throught most
of Oregon and Washington, lying a
foot cc-ep in the lowlands and being
drifted to a depth of more than twen
ty feet in the mountain passes
through which the transcontinental
railroad? are built. All the railroads
running east have felt the effect of
the tremendous snowfall, and traffic
is practically suspended.
Reports from Portland, Ore., are to
"he effect that rising temperature
early today turned the sleet to rain
and gave indication that the worst of
th- ".silver thaw" was over. Electric
light wires and street car service in
many parts of the city were de
moralized by falling trees, borne down
by their exhaustive weight of ice.
Some of the residence districts were
in darkness last night. Telegraph
service to the southward was spasmo
dic. Portland public schools were closed
today on account of the storm and the
uncertainty of transportation fa
cilities. Some of the schools were
compelled to close yesterday on ac
count of shortage of fuel.

BERLIN HAS HOPE
FOR INSTRUCTIONS
Believes They May End the Lusitania
Affair Sent to Von
Bernstorff.
MAY ARRIVE ON THURSDAY
Berlin, Feb. 2. (By Wireless to
Sayville.) Instrutcions have been
sent by the German government to
Ambassador Bernstorff at Washing
ton of such a nature as to give "rea
sonable hope for a positive under
standing concerning the Lusitania af
fair, it was announced here today.
ine announcement, wnicn is ot a
semi-official nature, is said bv the
Overseas News agency to have been
made "in connection with alarming
English reports about the nature of
German-American relations."
ine text oi tne statement is given
by the news agency as follows:
"It is true that on Saturday, Jan
uary a telegraphic report from the
German ambassador t.t Washington
arrived at Berlin showing that up to
that time it had been impossible to
adjust the Lusitania case in a man
ner satisfactory to both sides by
frinedly verbal exchanges of views.
On Tuesday instructions weret rans-
mitted by telegraph to the German
ambassador, which give reasonable
hope for a positive understanding."
May Come Thursday.
Washington, Feb. 2. At the Ger
man embassy it was stated early to
day that Count von Bernstorff had re
ceived no instructions from Berlin and
that if such instructions had been
cabled by the foreign office on Feb
ruary 1 they would not be expected
here before tomorrow. If the instruc
tions come by cable they will be trans
mitted through the American embassy
at Berlin, which at the instructions
of the state department has placed its
facilities for communication between
Count von Bernstorff and his foreign
office at the disposed of the German
government so that the Lusitania ex
change would not have to pass
through the British censorship.
None of the embassy officials would
venture an opinion as to what were
the instructions referred to as "giving
reasonable hope for a positive under
standing." Count Bernstorff's !ust communica
tion to the foreign office transmitted
a lull statement ol what tne Ameri
can government asks.

and the boys are hoping that there
will be a number of these leap year
entertainments before the season is
over. During the progress of the

RAILROADS REJECT
TRAINMEN'S TERMS
Will Not Even Consider Eight-Hour
Day and Higher Pay for
Overtime.
WOULD COST $100,000,000
Lnicago, i-eb. 'J. I he executive
committee of the Association of West
ern Railways today declared the rail
way employees' demands for an eight
hour day and increased pay for over
time are unreasonable and cannot be
considered and indicated a fight to
the last ditch if the employees refuse
to arbitrate.
Employees have not completed their
referendum vote on wage demands,
Grand Chief Warren Stone of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
has announced. However, the vote
probably will approve the demands.
The demands affect 800,000 men on
280,000 miles of railway in this coun
try and Canada.
Union officials have been quoted as
saying that they would not accept ar
bitration.
Rates Don't Justify Higher Wages.
The western association announced
that the demands mean an increase
in pay of approximately $100,000,000
a year, or 25 per cent. This, it was
announced, "is of such magnitude that
it cannot even be considered with the
present level of railway passenger
and freight rates."
"'The railroads,' the association
states, "desire to retain in their serv
ices a high class of men and to pay
them wages commensurate with their
skill and responsibility.
"They believe that the enginemen
and trainmen are now receiving lib
eral wages for the service performed.
"No new conditions have arisen
since the last increases in pay were
effective to justify rates of pay higher
than the men are now receiving."
The statement declares that train
men's wages between If 03 and 1914
were raised between 30 and 42 per
cent and that western trainmen re
ceived a further increase in 1915.
FOE'S EXPLOITS
London Press Amazed at Capture of
Appam and Mystery of German
Sea Raider.
London, Feb. 2. Amazed London
newspapers today expressed admira
tion for the Germans' daring exploit
in capturing the British liner Appam.
"That such a feat should be possible
after eighteen months of war almost
baffles belief," said the Daily Chron
icle. "The news will cause astonishment
to millions," said the Daily Grphic.
"Where did this new German cruis
er come from and where did she get
her armament?" asked the Chronice.
"Chasing her down will be easy. Pos
sibly she was equipped in a Turkish
or Bulgarian port."
All papers agree that Washington
has been put in an mbarrassing posi
tion by the arrival of the Appam.

False Side of Moewe Lowered, Ex
posing 1 0-inch Gnuns to the
Captured Liner.
LATTER'S STATUS IN DOUBT
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 2. The German
sea raider Moewe, which captured the
British liner Appam and sank seven
other British merchantment, is a
member of the German naval auxiliary
forces. Lieutenant Berge, commander
of the prize crew in charge of the Ap
pam, today produced a commission in
the naval auxiliary reserve.
Berg is waiting for the United
States government to say what should
be done with the Appam. Aboard, 452
British prisoners, in charge of forty-
two Germans, await permission to
come ashore.
Whether the ship to be declared
a German privateer, subject to intern
ment, or a German prize, subject pos
sibly to internment or release to her
British owners, probably will be de
termined today at Washington.
Says Appam Is German War Vessel.
Liutenant Berge hinted today that
the German contention will be that
the Appam is a German war vessel
and entitled to internament rather
than a prize of war, subject to release
in neutral waters.
Prince Hatzfeldt, counsellor of the
German embassy, is here to take
charge of the German interests.
With the German naval ensign still
flying, the Appam is anchored only a
quarter of a mile from Fort Monroe.
False Sides Hid Ten-Inch Guns.
Passengers said that the Moewe ap
proached the Appam Hying the British
flag. Then she ran down the British
colors and hoisted tli3 German flag.
alse sides, but upon the forecastle
to make her appear a a tramp, were

ment of ten-inch guns.
The Moewe was said to have come
from the Kiel canal five months ago.
and to have stolen through the Brit-
sh North sea and Atlantic fleets dis
guised as a tramp under the Swedish
flag.
Sank Seven British Vessels.
The seven British vessels sunk by
the Moewe, according to passengers
of the Appam, were:
Cowbridge, January 11; Farring-
ford, January 11; Drummondy, Jan
uary 13; Arthur, January 13; Ariadne,
January 13; Clan Mr.cTavish, Jan
uary 15.
All of the crew oT the last vessel.
which showed fight when halted,
were killed except four injured, put
on the Appam, according to the
United States immigration officer.
British Awed With Bombs.
He reported that the Germans were
said to have placed bombs about the
Appam, fearful of mutiny from the
445 British subjects aboard. No
Americans were on board.
The wireless of the ship was
utilized in avoiding British ships in
the race for Hampton roads.
Sir Edward Meriwether a Captiive.
Wireless instruments of the Appam
are under seal to prevent her securing
information regarding the British
patrol outside the capes.
Among the Appam's prisoner pas
sengers is Sir Edward Meriwether,
governor general of the British colony
of Sierra Leone. There are eight pris
oners in the brig.
A German tar, with a musket,
