Costly Blizzards at Sea
Tho blizzard IS" always bad enough on
land, but nt sea It Is tenfold worse, relates
the New York Times. It Is far moro do-
heart quails before It. Railroads may be
snowed under on land by tho flcrco storms,
towns nnd villages bo nctuauy burled allvo
for days and weeks and traffic of all kinds
suspended Indefinitely, but on the oceau
tho helpless bark scuds toward the haven-
less port to certain destruction, and the
tramp steamer labors heavily In tho seas
tho voyagers hoping for tho best.
Thero Is ono class of ships that cannot
run beforo the blizzard nqr skulk In strange
harbors to escape It. The express steamers
must run on schedulo time, and It may be
that thoy must go forth to meet the
monster, fully conscious of .the Impending
conflict. Occasionally tho sailing of a mod-
em ocean Krcvhound may be nostooned
twenty-four hours In order to lot the worst
of a Btnrm blow over, hut uauallv thev run
forth heedless of tho weathen warnings
Confident In their nowers. they urannlo with
the blizzard and toll triumphantly through
the mighty conUlct. In tholr regular navlga
tlon of the ocean sqrae of tho big liners
aro suro to meet every blizzard. It Is
always a speculation with tho captains ns
,0 whch boat of the line wlll capturo the
worst 'storm of the season.
When a blizzard is renorled ranlnc ln
mldatlantlc or on the onnoslte coast, tho
captain of the steamer which leaves port
carries with him tho good wishes and hopes
of his fraternity. He knows tho gravity
of thn sltuntlnn. nnd hn rnnmrv hi
of his fraternity. He knows the gravity
of tho situation, and bo conserves his
strongth and energy by restlnc well before
the blizzard Is met. Then ho knows that
ho must pit his skill and knowledge and
the power or his boat against tho most
gigantic elemental forces that ever com
blned for the destruction of human life

In the case of such steamers as 'Dcutsch-

CinCACJO, Jan. 6. Tho Record-Herald
Sunday says: Damage amounting to
at least $5,000,000, and possibly more than '
double that sum, will bo sought by tho
management of the Michigan Central rail- i
road against the state of Michigan. 1
Suit to recover for loss already occa
sioned and to bo occasioned In the years
to come, through the forced forfeiture of
tho special charter of tho Michigan Cen
tral, will bo begun tn the United States
court as soon as the assessment of damages
can bo determined by careful calculation.
Tho legal controversy grows out of tho
recent law passed by the legislature of the
stato fixing the maximum charge per mile
for passenger s'ervlco nt 2 cents.
Attortfcy Winston, who represents the
Mlehlgan Centrnl hero, confirms tho re
port. Chapped hands, cracked Hps and rough
ness of tho skin cured quickly by Uanner
