CnuHC of I lie Storm.
"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."

COLORADO SriUNaS, Nov. 22. The sun
rose this morning on a city badly Beared and
wrecked, but not discouraged by the most
frightful ordeal In Its history. Tho gale
began to substdo about midnight, when It
was blowing at the rate of about fifty or
etxty miles an hour, nnd It has continued
gradually to abate slnco- that hour. Tho
highest velocity, aa represented by the
weather bureau at Colorado college, was
elghiy-flve miles an hour.
No loss. of life has been reported. Edgar

sioner, was caUgh't under a falling pole on
Tejon street, near tho El Taso club, and

center of tho city, havo roofs torn off or
badly damaged and wrcckago blockades the
principal streets. Plato glass windows all
over tho city nro shattered and tho loss
In thoie alono will nmount to many
thcusands of dollars. From sections of tho
city outlying, reports havo como of destruc
tion of many small dwelling bouses. In Ivy
Wild, a suburb, Smith's green houso was
blown down nnd burned. Thero were about
a dozen alarms of (Ire during tho day nnd
Bight. Firemen did valiant servlca and
prevented tho spread of tho flames.

many of tho school buildings wero
considerably damaged. Preservation of life
was undoubtedly assisted by the action of

Tho rapid transit lines hnve been para

MINISTER CONGER IS SILENT

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.

cago, representing the Chicago, Milwaukee

lating to right of way from tho north
western part of South Dakota, eastward

of the St. Paul company Is to drive cattle

long dotour now required to make con
nections with Its lino. The proposition Is
looked upon favorably by tho authorities
and It Is propoucd to allow a slx-mllo trail
between tbo Standing Rock and Cheyenne
river agencies, tho Indians to be paid 26
cents per head for all cattle crossing their
lands. Tho Northwestern also filed a pe
tition for such a permit on the southern
part of tho reserve In order that It may
mako more direct connections at Forest
City, S. D. As tho plans of the St. Paul
road contemplato a trail running directly
through tho center of the Indian lands from
Bowdle, S. D., It Is regarded as moro con
venient for tho cattlemen. Tho require
ment was Imposed, however, that n fenco
8houli be erected on both sides of the trail,
a dlstanco of about etgthty-slx miles. It
Is to lnduco the officials to walvo thin re
quirement that brings Attorney Peck hero
to confer with them.

Reception at the Hotel.
Thero wns a mngnlflcont populnr demon
stration along tho two-mllo routo followed
by tho twenty carriages bearing tho Trans
vnnl personages, but thero wero no troops
or no officials representing tho Paris gov
ernment or tho Marseilles municipalities.
Tho arrival at tho hotel was 11:45, nnd nt
noon proclcoly Krugcr nppenred on the
balcony In answer to the cries of the multi
tude Jammed tight In tho wide street be
low. Ho bowed aud said a fow words which
wero translated thus: "I nm deeply
touched. My heart mourns, but I accept your
fcstlvo preparations because cxproislng th
sympathy of your glorious frco race for our
people. We nro determined to fight for
liberty till wo conquer or nro completely
extormlnatod, Tho remembrance of this
day will long sootho tho wounds of my old
heart."
In .order to testify his gratltudo ho took
In his hand a comer of the French tricolor
that was flying on the dialenny between tho
Transvnal and Frco Stftto Hags and pressed
It to his heart again and ngaln. Tho en
thusiastic people cheered him until ho with
drew to his roouiR, which he found half
filled with boqucts aud garlands presented
by his admirers,
Mnyor Ix prrsHc Sympnthy.
Tho prefect and mayor then called to pay
their ltfspects, tho latter, M. Flalssleres,
making an eloquent Bpccch In sympathy
with tho Boers.
Mr. Krugcr replied briefly, declaring how
deeply ho had been touched by tho unex
pected warmth of his reception In Mar
seilles and by tho sympathy of tho French
people.
After luncheon nnd a little reposo Mr.
Krugcr descended to tho hall of the hotel,
'where ho received the delegations. Dr.
Loyds briefly Interpreted tho addresses of
tho various speakers, but It was evident
that Mr. Kruger wa.i fatigued and found
It a great strain to follow tho gestures
of orators speaking n languago unlntel
llglblo to him. When this was going on his
eyes frequently roamed nbout tho room, but
he llattned attentively, with his hand to
his ear, as Dr. Leyds gnve him tho gist of
what had been sold. Eventually becoming
fatigued, ho asked that other addresses bo
presented to him In writing, and then with
drew again to his apartments, where ho
passed tho evening quietly, receiving no
one.
Dr. Leyds represented him nt the banquet
given in his honor, whore all tho, Boer of
ficials and members of the pro-Boer com
mittees were present, and read tho follow
ing message from him: '
I nm fntlsued nnd nm In mourning.
Moreover.'l do not attend bnnqucts. Other
wlso I should have liked to spend a few
minutes with you nml to thank you. I
shall never forget the warm welcome I
have had In your beautiful city. Your re
ception of mo hns Hiirpassed all I could
havo expected, oven from the city which
gave Frunco her ndmlrnb'o national hymn,
that "Marseillaise," which is the unng of nil
peoples whose Independence In threutened
und who nre struggling ugulnst invaders,
I would that your occlnmatlnn could have
been heard by nil thoso Boers In nrms who
nro encamped In our motintulns. They
would thank you from the bottom of their
hearts. I thank you In their behalf. Could
I have been with you I should have alin
expressed my thnnks Jo all France and
would have raised my glnH In hunor of her
worthy president, M. Loubct.
Dr. Leyds then snld: "In the name of
President Kruger I havo tho honor to
drink to the henlth of tho president of tho
French rccubllc."
Mr. Kruger will leave for Paris at 0
o'clock tomorrow morning, remaining ono
night enrouto at DIJon. A reception has
been arranged.
