Tfesldcnt Cleveland has decided lo lelleve
Gun. Ciook from his command In Arizona.
Oen. Miles Is to succeed him , and will pioli-
ably receive his ordei w ithln tt-n days. It Is
understood that ( ien. Kheildaii has been try
ing to prevent this , and ho may } et ' > < ? able
to do so , as In believes that ( Sen. Ciook has
done eveijlhinic Hint human power could dote

( Jen. ( 'look , and still eoiishleis that olllcer

from both the tiiends of Con. Miles ,
who Is anxious to try his hand at thejob , and
fiom Hie people of Aibona who have lost
confidence In Ciook , and have sent any
nmountof apiieils lo the piesldent to ielle\e
him , ol both an olllcial and pilsate char.icter.
( Jen. Sheiidan says It is very easy to crltiebe

will do all that Is wanted.

Governor llansir , of Montana , who Is
now here , said in a convei-v.ition with your

that Is nowalliaellns the most inteiest in
Montana Is the pio-pccts lor our admission
Into the union as a Mute. Although no
formal application has jet been mad" the
question will hobinught up veiy0011. . As
\vo have now l-Jii.OO ) Inli.ibit.inls theio can be
nodllllcully on the scoiool population. The
dinicitltlcs In the \\nj ot admission now
being experienced by Dakota have
alltacted the ntteiitlon ofeill/eiis ot out tei-
rltoiy. As the lepublie.ins have a majority
theie , and as that is piobablv one KMSOII why
It eannot gain admission , a jnoject ha- > been
ioimcd to lake advantage of that and gain
admittance for our tenitoiy. South Dakota
Is lepiibllcan , which fuel is given as a loa-on
for Its failine to gain admittance. Montana
Is demociatlc , and would neutiali/e Iheelleet

LINCOLN , Jan.t. . ( Special Telegram. ]
The storm still rages In this locality with un
abated fury , ami Is pronounced by railway
men tlio worst they have ever encountered In
Nebraska , It Is general all over the state but
at Its w orst betvv een Lincoln and Ited Cloud.
The railways are blockaded ; up to noon to
day not n wheel hail moved from Lincoln
since Suiulaj moiiilng. West of Lincoln
and on all branch loads oolh passenger ami
freight trains have been abandoned until the
wind subsides so the hacks can be cleaied.
A train from the east managed lo reach heie
to-day aftei a hard light , but could not get
any fattbei west. In town business Is at a
standstill. The Miccts aie blockaded with
drifts , and theie are but few people abioad.
With the exception of one tialn from
Omaha over the Iturllngton Sunday night ,
Lincoln's railway connection with the out
side world has been entliely suspended for
ncaily thlityslhours. . All day Saturday
and Sunday the IJttrllngton people worKed
haul to keep the main line west of Lincoln
clear , but weie forced to give It up Sunday
afternoon , leaving the cast bound pass
enger at Haivard. The company is
taking care of the passengers
and has made them as comfoi table
as possible. All trains west of Lincoln have
been discontinued until Uie storm is over.
The tiack In many places Is covered with
diitts twenty feet deep and neailya quarter
of a mile long , and all the Hitrllngton
branches and the Union I'acilic's lepublican !
Valley road was blocked and tiallic is at a
standstill.
Train No. 1 on the Hurllnglon , which
started from Omaha Monday moining , drawn
by two engines and pieceded by a double
header and snow plow , ran Into a huge dilft
near Ashland about noon. Three hour-j later
It was reported at ( Sieenwood battling with
another diift , and at 0 p. m. was stalled in a
still woise bank of snow atWavoily. The
snow Is dry and tlie wind forces It Into the
cuts so complete ! } that the great plows ,
which arc calculated to cut tlnougii drills
fifteen bundled leet Jlong at full speed can
make no headway against It. In most cases
the cuts w ill have to be shoveled bv hand.
Superintendent Thompson has sent out or-
dei.s along the line to liiio all tlie men that
could bo had and hold them in leadiness lor
work as soon as the wind subsides. When
that tt t will be is uncertain , as to-night , tlie
ta thiid t of the storm , it is still blowing lieicely
and without prospect of immediate abate
ment.
