'-'LEV ELAin D, O., Nov. ll.-lVIa Private
Wiro to Pitlsburgh.)-Clevcland Is burled
under twenty-one Inches of snow, Its
streets are filled with a tangled mass of
broken and twisted wires and thousands
on thousands o't Its Inhabitants-are In
imminent danger of Buffering from lack
of food, ,. Three- persons have been killed,
ten aro missing and are believed to have
been frozen to death. The steamship J
O. Garmer Is stranded on the beach.
Captain Burns of Buffalo and twenty-two
sailors arc In danger of death at any
moment because of the high seas rolling
In from Lake Erie. Life savers are.
ittanuins by helpless to aid.
It Is still snowing and unless the storm
which has continued since last Sunday
soon abates no one can tell what the
ultimate toll In dollars and lives may be.
The loss Is already estimated at $2.0,
COO, half of which will fall on the tele
phone and telegraph companies. Normal
conditions cannot be restored within a
week and If a thaw should come, fol
lowed by the Inevitable flood, the whole
lake country will suffer severely.
City In Unrknrin.
Conditions have been growing worse
since Monday night, when half the city
was plunged Into darkness, the lighting
plant being blown down by the gale.
This morning at least one-halfsthe, street
car service was out of commission and
no less than" 3,000 trolley, telegraph and
telephone poles within the city limits had
been blown down.
So complete was the paralysis of trans
portation facilities it was deemed best to
let the dead Ho In the places where they
had died, and no funerals will be held
until the storm has abated.
There has been no delivery of groceries,
tread, milk or coal since Saturday, and
the suffering cannot be definitely learned,
but It is widespread. There is a suf
ficient .supply, of gas and It la being used
unsparingly-tn Places fitted for It, so
that-as many persons as possible may be
benefited,
Great Manner of Fire.
One of the greatest fears U from fire.
Already one tire has done $100,000 damage
and the difficulty encountered in subdu
ing It were such as to cause the authori
ties great apprehension should another
fire break out. Every possible precaution
is being taken by the exhausted firemen
and policemen.
For days the telephone and telegraph
companies have been battling against the
conditions that confront them and with
only a little success. The Immense num
ber of wires down and the loss of so
many poles make the task of completing
even temporary repairs one of the great
est magnitude. The physical effort re
quired to w.ork In the teeth of the terri
ble storm Is another handicap.
At 10 o'clock this morning a glance
through the debils strew streets led to
the belief that days will pass before they
can be cleared.
School Are Closed.
All the schools of the city are closed.
The danger attendant on the passing
children through the streets and the un
usual conditions surrounding them In the
schools, many of which have been thrown
open to tlto homeless, prompted the
authorities to suspend classes, until the
blizzard abates. ,
The food shortage fel Monday after
noon became mora pronounced and threat
ening this morning. There Is no milk
to be had at any price, except It be ob-

Chinese Parliament
Will Be Succeeded by
a Smaller Congress
PEKING, Nov. 11. The disappearance
of the Chinese Parliament and the sub
stitution for It of a "central administra
tive congress," giving the government en
tire control over all matters of Import
ance, Is predicted today by native news
papers In touch with the administration.
The proposed administrative congress Is
to consist of two representatives from
each province, four cabinet ministers, a
representative from each i ministry und
eight members of the presidential secre
tariat. The two houses of the national as
sembly would be dissolved, the news
sembl ycould be dissolved, the news
papers suggest, after the convening of
the new congress. This, they say. seems
the easiest way out of the present dead
lock. Neither of the houses of the Chinese
Parliament has been able to form a
quorum since they first met on April S,
this year. On that day D00 out of the KM
representatives and 177 of the 274 senator
gathered In Peking, but after the formal
inauguration of the Parliament Its num
bers rapidly dwindled, owing to arrests
I or expulsions on various charges. The
j houses never went Into working ses-
slons.
On November 5 President Shi Kal Is
sued a proclamation expelling from
Peking more than 300 members of the
democratic party, who had tried to cur
tall the president's power and make him
entirely dependent on Parliament. lio
thus made It Impossible for the houses to
form a quorum.
The democratic party was formerly led
by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the first provisional
president of the republic, and comprised
many former rebels from the southern
provinces.
Campaign for Nation
wide Proribition is
Started at Columbus
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. ll.-Natlon-wldo
prohibition to be accomplished through
an amendment to the federal constitution
was the keynote sounded by speakers at
the national convention of the Antl-Sa-loon
league today. Thousands cheered
when speakers demanded that the prohi
bition question be put squarely up to
congress at once. ,
Former United States Senator Banders
of Tennessee, who presided, told the con
vention If would be necessary to have
as president of the United States a man
In favor of national prohibition before It
can be accomplished. His statement,
Senator Sanders said afterward, had no
partlulnr reference to President Wilson.
Marian Lawrence, general secretary of
the International Sunday School associ
ation, told of Sunday school work through
out the country and declared they are
making "voters of tomorrow" who will
support national prohibition providing It
does not come before they hve a chance
to vote.
.. TtY.-& Cf Dinwiddle of Washington,
executive superintendent, said a campaign
will be started to give proper credit to
congressmen and senators who voted for
the passage of the Webb-Kcnyon bill,
without attempting especially to fight
thoje who opposed It.
"With two-thirds of the territory In
the country dry now, the time has come
when the people are ready to promul
gate a campaign for national prohibi
tion," he said.

Cnpltnl, but Less Pro
nounced, WASHINGTON, Nov. ll.-The cabinet
met again today with all members pres
ent except Secretary Wilson. Tho Mexl
can toplo was foremost. The raising of
the embargo on arms, which has been
urged on tho president and practically all
the secretaries, was discussed at length.
After a two-hour discussion, devoted
to the Mexican situation, the cabinet
meeting broke up and, as on previous oc
cMons, all the members preserved ab
solute silence.
Indications today were that the Ameri
can policy toward Mexico, which It Is
hoped the nations of tho world generally
would follow, still was "hands off,"
Tho general Interpretation of the situa
tion was that the United States by giv
ing foreign powers Information ot Its own
in determination to refuse to recognlip
the acts of tho now Mexican congress,
had Indicated a desire that the powers
generally rerraln from financial dealing
with the Ilucrta government.
No Specific Requests.
So tar as could be learned there his
been no spcclflo request for support by
the powers, but there has been a plain
Intimation that the Washington govern
ment believes the collapse of the Huerta
regime Inevitable It foreign aid be with
held. With the Intention to regard as Illegal
any loans or concessions the new con
gress may undertake, there has been dls
tlnct intimation that a policy or
acquiescence by foreign governments
would be Riatlfying to Washington. With
out flnanclul aid, and with Its machinery
of government pronounced lllegal, offi
cials here expect to see a state of affairs
thut may force Huerta to ellmlnato him
self. Hrltlsli Orttan Warn Ilnertn,
LONDON, Nov. H.-A. significant warn
ing to President Huerta was Issued todry
by the Westminster U4tttUi-ovcrn-
ment newspaper. Commenting on Pre
mier Asqulth's Guild Hall speech, In
which he made It plain that no antagon
ism exists between Knglnnd and the
United Btates In regard to Mexico, the
.Gaxette says;
"The idea that any valid election-In
tho sense In which democratic or con'
stltutlonal countries understand the word
can bo held In Mexico Is probably
diplomatic fiction, but the electoral tent
wus ot General Huerta's own choosing
and It Is well to keep him reminded that
his falluro to conform to Its result leaves
ull governments free to reconsider their
act ot recognition.
"Briefly tho limits of British action are
that the British govenmcnt should not
put itself In a position of making pro
