"Tho cnuse of this visitation of wind dates back to last week," said Local Forecaster Brandenburg, "when a cyclonic storm pre vailed upon tho coasts of Washington and Oregon and antl-cyclonle conditions were In evidence In Alberta and Montana. Cyclonic storms at this season that enter the United States from tho Pacific usually fol low what Is known as tho northern track, cross Washington, Montana, North Dakota and the Drltlsh border to the lakes nnd thence across to New England. The pres uro of the strong antl-cyclonle condition that existed In this storm pathway formed a barrier to the progress of tho cyclonic storm that sought Its usual course across tho continent, nnd, ns a result, when tho front of the cyclone or the low pressure area moved eastward It was deflected from Its usual path and traveled southeast Into Utah and Colorado, where tho pressure remained low for two or three days. "Westerly and southwesterly winds, with high temperature, havn prevailed In Colo rado and southeastern Wyoming, while Just north of tho low center In South Dakota and western Wyoming much colder weather has prevailed and snow has been falling. The high wind In Colorado was confined to tho eastern slope." Wind Elality-Flve Mllea an Hoar. COLORADO SriUNaS, Nov. 22.

Tho business section presents a dis mantled aspect and all business Is sus pended. Tho public schools were ablo to resume during tho day, although many of tho school buildings wero considerably damaged. Preservation of life was undoubtedly assisted by the action of electrical companies In shutting down all .their plants at 2 p. m. yesterday and later by the work of tho linemen In sever ing all main line wlros through the city. Tho rapid transit lines hnve been para lyzed for twenty-four hours. The storm was not In the nature of a cyclone, but rnthor n Bteady blow, occasioned by tho excessive drop In temperature and conden sation of atmosphero two days ago.

MINISTER CONGER IS SILENT Stato Departmont Hears Nothing Official Concerning Disagreement at Pokin, AMERICANS NOrDISPOSEO TO BE SNUBBED Conslclernlile Speculation nn to I 'or in rVcKotliitloim Will Take If I'ureliiii Unvoyn Arc Xot to Agree, an Seems Likely, WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. Tho State de partment so far has heard nothing from Minister Ctngcr respecting tho "Impasso" reported to havo been reached by the for eign ministers yesterday at l'ckln. In fact, save n brief expression respecting tho lnsufllclency of tho punishments proposed by tho Chlneso government to bo Indicted upon tho responsible leaden of tho Iloxcr movement, Mr. Conger has not communi cated with the department for moro than a week. Without taking lssuo with Mr. Conger respecting this matter of punishments, the State department has earnestly advised hi in not tb Insist ou Impossible conditions In the negotiations. An Interesting problem Is suggested by the possibility, which today is almost n probability, that the ministers representing tho powers nt Pokln cannot reach nn agroo- rucnt. If Russia, France nnd tho United States should refuse to accept the German ldcu, as seconded by tho Drltlsh repre sentative, much would depend upon Japan, and oven some of tho lesser powers repre sented at I'ckln by ministers might have great power In swaying tho proceedings of the council. Tho Impression seems to bo that If a majority of the ministers, or per haps even ono of tho representatives of a great power, withholds assent to the agree ment, thon tho wholo undertaking falls, nnd thero must bo cither fresh negotiations directly between the homo governments In tho effort to agree upon new basis of action, or the powers must proceed to deal with tho Chlneso situation singly, or In groups, tho latter contingency hnvlng been pro vided for In tho Gorman-Ilrttlsh agreement.
