Traffic, which was light yesterday on account of its being a holiday, was also necessarily so to- day. The snowstorm, which began Sat- urday night, yesterday developed into the Worst blizzard in the city’s history. During the day a northwest gale blew through the snow banked streets at the rate of 25 miles an hour, and at night- fall its velocity increased to 40 miles an hour, driving before it the fine, icy, blinding snow, such as usually accom- panies blizzards. Great drifts piled up in the principal thoroughfares, and traffic on all the street car lines in the city except the Broadway and Third Avenue lines was practically at a standstill. The, underground trolley lines were forced to stop early in the evening, and only a few cross town cars draWn by four and six horses made oc- casional trips. The railways running into New York are paralyzed. The Pennsylvania at- tempted to get but one train through to the west yesterday, while only one train from this city reached Washing- ton. Local traffic has practically ceas- ed. Disasters in the ice filled harbor and rivers have multiplied. The huge drifts in the streets have produced a coal famine. Staten Island is more completely bot- tled up than at any time during the past 30 years. Everything is at a stand- still there. WEEKLY NORWA in . ply now in the Allegheny and Monon- The trolley lines have not , moved a wheel since early yesterday ' morning, and the steam railroad, which kept one branch open until late in the afternoon, was forced to suspend op- erations. The ferryboats connecting this city with the island ran about every hour during the day, but at night, when the ice fioes in the bay began clogging under the counters and keeling the boats over until their freeboards touch- ed the water, it was decided to suspend trips to or from the island. _ The North Shore division of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad did not move a wheel yesterday, as was the case with the electric lines. Engine No. 13 of the Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad with two coach- es attached to her made a runaway race in the morning and traveled where no other engines were able to go.

She dashed into a train of summer cars which were on a siding. and cars were wrecked. Newark, N. J., is in the throes of a water famine and has had to fall back on the Passaic river for a supply. The great reservoirs up in the mountains, where the present waterworks are lo- cated, are frozen solidly, and anchor ice has backed into the mains which sup- ply the city, cutting off the supply, to less than one-half the usual amount. The water stored in the reservoirs in the city had been used by noon yester- day, and the old pumps at the river had to be started. Trafiic was blocked by the snow, and not a train from the Am- boy or Long Branch divisions of the Pennsylvania passed through Newark during the day.

The \Var Report In London.

If the taint of politics is once fastened upon the new colonial administration, our hopes of its future must be considerably dashed.” Extradition Refused.

Captain of the Paris Says the Pas- sage \Vas One of the Worst Ever Made—New York Slip- / Closed by Ice. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—T‘he changing tide and the driving wind opened the upper bay toward noon yesterday and made it possible for the ocean liners coming into port to get to North river. There trouble began again, for the ice was jammed into the slips on the Man- hattan side as though some giant had taken a mammoth maul and hammered it between piers. Docking was a matter of' delay that were upon the spirits of the passengers, ' who were already nervous and irritable becauseof the prolongedvoyage through such trying weather. They fretted and chafed and sighed with satisfaction when the boats were finally warped in. Among the boats to come up were the Paris of the American line, Etruria of the Cunard line, Anchoria of the Anchor line, Algonquin of the Clyde line and Macedonia of the Ward line. Every captain had a tale of blow and bluster to tell. From the time the liners left the other side until they reached this shore the ocean did nothing but rage and threaten the destruction of the ships that were upon its surface. Captain Wilson of the Anchoria said that nothing but western gales and heavy seas were encountered on the voyage. The decks of his ship were swept repeatedly by big combers that bombarded the boat every minute. He lost seven boats, and the decks of the Anchoria were a mass of Wreckage. John Smith, an able seaman, 44 years old, was smashed into the rail-by a wave and died from his injuries. It was impossible to get the Paris in either of the slips of the American line, and she was finally tied up at the end of the dock. It Was a hard task even then to land the passengers, as they were obliged to descend a very steep in- cline. Captain Watkins said that although the passage was one of the worst ever experienced by the steamer's officers the Paris behaved splendidly and proved ' herself a stanch sea boat. The American steamer Catania also arrived in harbor after a most tempes- tuous and eventful passage. The Ca- tania left Glasgow Dec. 18 for New York and immediately ran into heavy weather. One gale followed another un- til the Catania became a disabled hulk on the ocean. The hurricanes came from the west, northwest and south- west with enormous combing seas which swept the decks continuously, carrying away the boats and doing con- siderable damage about the decks. The ventilators and skylights were swept away, and the seas flooded the engine rooms and holds, putting out the fires. The Catania lay in the trough of the sea, rolling violently until the funnel was carried away. While lying in this condition the Atlantic Transport line steamer Mesaba, bound from New York for London, hove in sight and bore down to the Catania, which had signals of distress and asked assistance. This was in latitude 48, longitude 38; Captain Furlong was asked to aban- don his vessel, the Mesaba promising to take the crew of the disabled steam- er. This offer being refused, the Mesa— ba stood by for about 20 hours, but dur- ing the night disappeared in the storm. Thirty-six hours later the hold and engine rooms Were freed of water, and steam sufficient to keep steerage way on the vessel was obtained. In the meantime a jury funnel Was built of wood and iron, and the steamer was al- lowed to drift away before the gale and arrived at St. Michael’s without assist- ance on the 6th. At St. Michael’s re— pairs were efEected. and the Catania sailed for New York 3:13:26, Where she arrived without further mishap. The Adams Case. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—The inquest into the cause of the death of Mrs. Kate J. Adams, who died on Dec. 28 from ef- fects of poison received through the mails by Harry Cornish at the Knicker- bocker Athletic club, was resumed yes- terday after a three days’ recess. Three witnesses have so far been called—Ro- land B. Molineux, Harry Cornish and Joseph Moore—the examinations of the first and last named being concluded yesterday, and with the 45 or more wit- nesses yet to be called the inquest is likely to continue for the best part of a month. Raid on Private Letter Boxes. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Postmaster Hicks of Philadelphia has submitted to Assistant Postmaster General Heath a report. on the test crusade against pri- vate letter box offices which he was au- thorized to make.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.—A six story build- ing, 10 to 24 'West Water street, occu- pied by the Traders’ Warehouse compa- ny and a large number of smaller con- cerns, was completely destroyed by fire yesterday, the total loss being estimated at $780,000. The origin of the fire is un— known. The building was owned by Ed- ward B. Butler of Chicago and was val- ued at $75,000. Boulevard Is Broadway Now. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Mayor Van Wyck has signed the ordinance passed by the municipal assembly changing the name of the Boulevard fr'om Fifty-ninth street to Spuyten Duyvil to Broadway.

Insurgents 'Open Fire on Our Troops at Pateros. lllLLER'S VICTORY WES BLOODLESS. H 1' “Oped at Washington That the Stern Lessons Already Given the Filipinos May Be Sufficient—A Humane Policy Favored. MANILA, Feb. 15.—The insurgents at Pateros, ten miles southeast of Manila, surrendered on Wednesday, but the place was not occupied by our troops. Since their surrender the Filipinos have flown flags of truce, indicating their submission, but yesterday afternoon they opened fire upon some detached troops of the First California infantry stationed nearly north of the town. The Californians replied with a hot flre, driving the rebels out of the town. They moved to the south, Where they made a stand, and an engagement fol- lowed, continuing until dark. The Cali- fornians in the meantime were re-en- forced by companies from the First Washington and First Idaho infantry and the Utah light artillery. The for- mer Spanish river gunboat Laguna de Bay is now on her way to shell the ene- my’s rear. It is supposed that .the insurgents who evacuated the‘town upon its surrender have been secretly gathering at Pateros under cover of flags of truce for several days with the object of making the at- tack which they made yesterday after- noon. War News In Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.——The confir- mation of the press reports detailing the capture of Iloilo were receiVed at the war department yesterday with consid- erable satisfaction. While no apprehen- sion had been felt as to General Miller’s ability to capture the capital of the Visayan federation, or, for that matter, anything else that was wanted in the archipelago, the reports of strong in— trenchments that the natives had been constructing around the town led the department to fear that the landing would be a bloodier affair than either of the battles of Manila. It was with great satisfaction, therefore, that Admiral that we had lost no men at all and the casualties among the natives were much smaller than at first reported. The fact that foreign interests in 110-. ilo are being satisfactorily guarded is another source of gratification to the administration. This forestalls criticism or danger of interference from any for- eign power, which has all along been a complication that had to be considered as a possibility, but which it was in- tended to avoid at all costs. What the future will be it is scarcely safe to say. The president, from the in- ception of the Spanish war, has been earnestly in favor of the most humane policy, and it is not intended to follow the severe check to the Filipinos with a war of subjugation if the insurgents will allow this government to avoid it. They have had a stern lesson at Manila and at Iloilo, and if they are content to profit by it and come peaceably into camp they may do so Without fear of further chastisement. Still, it is recog- nized that Admiral Dewey and General Otis have a much better grasp of the local situation than is possible here, and the administration does not propose to tie their hands with unnecessary in- structions. The war department has received the following advices from General Otis. under date of Manila, Feb. 14: :“One hundred and eighty officers and 1,800 men, Spanish prisoners of war, left port on the 12th and 13th by steamers Reina Christina and Uruguay, en route to Spain. Can awards on Didi opened at Washington on the 4th inst. be commu- nicated? Isaac Russell. Company A, Utah artillery, slight scalp wound, con- dition excellent. Lieutenant O. H. Grow, Utah artillery, en route to San Fran- cisco on sick leave. Lieutenant Chance, signal corps, convalescing slowly from typhoid fever, condition favorable." Filipinos Desire Peace. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.—The Fili- pino representatives who arrived last week from Manila, intending to join their associates in Washington, have decided to leave at once for Montreal. They expressed themselves as aston- ished agreeably at the kind treatment they have received in this city. The two envoys will endeavor to persuade Agoncillo.to return to Washington and join with his associates in pleading for an honorable peace. France Preparing For \Var. LONDON, Feb. 15.—The Toulon cor- respondent of The Daily Mail, remark- ing upon the extraordinary activity at the arsenal there and generally in the French naval works, says: “His be- lieved that M. Lockroy, minister of ma- rine, expects war with Great Britain Within two years, and it is notorious that a war with England is being preached in official circles in Paris. Troops are being poured into Tunis, Corsica and Algeria, and war material is being dispatched to all the colonies. French oflicers openly boast that they will sweep the British fleet out of the Mediterranean.” . Castillo For Civil Governor. SANTIAGO, . Cuba, Feb. 15.—General Wood has. recommended General De- metrio 'Castillo, assistantcivil governor of Santiago, for appointment to the of- fice of civil governor. General“ Castillo represents the choice of the best Cubans and most of the Americans here.

LONDON, Feb. 15.—Acc05ding to the Madrid correspondent of The Daily Mail, the question of selling the Caro- lines and the Ladrones is still undecid- definite offer, and the idea of abandon- ing them altogether may be considered if no offer is forthcoming. i , General Plume’s Successor. TRENTON, Feb. 15.—-Governor Voor- hees has accepted the resignation of General Plume as the head of the New Jersey national guard and has decided to send to the senate the name of Gen- eral William J.

Secretary Long Order. In Discon- tinuance. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.——-The can- teen aboard ship is a thing of the past. It never obtained a strong hold in the service of late, the only vessels in the navy nermitting the sale of even beer -aboard being the New York and the Indiana. It cannot be gathered that the operation of the canteen aboard these ships has been the subject of any ill report, but even there the sales of beer have been ordered stopped in the following order issued by Secretary Long, dated Feb. 3, but just published: “After mature deliberation the depart— ment has decided that it is for the best interest of the service that the sale or issue to enlisted men of malt or other alcoholic liquors on board ships of the navy or' Within the limits of naval sta~ tions be prohibited. Therefore, after the receipt of this order, commanding officers and commandants are forbid- den to allow any malt or other alcoholic liquors to be sold or issued to en- listed men either on board'ship or with- in the limits of navy yards, naval sta- tions or marine barracks except in the medical department." Flour Mill Syndicate. MILWAUKEE, Feb. 15.——The Even- ing Wisconsin says: “It was admitted here that the flour mill syndicate of which Thomas A. McIntyre is the head had carried the day. All the Duluth mills except Freeman’s and a small concern are reported to have been sea cured in addition to the majority of the mills in Minneapolis. It is also learned that the largest mills in New York and Buffalo, in addition to several large Milwaukee plants, have been captured. It is believed that when the concern is fully organized a large majority of the spring wheat mills in the country will be found in the deal. The capitalization of the trust, it is reported, will be about $35,000,000.” German and HAmafian'Relations. BERLIN, Feb. lei—“United States Em-l b'assador Andrew D. White said to a correspondent here yesterday, with ref- erence to the statement by the North German Gazette, that Baron von Bulow, minister of foreign affairs, communi- cated to him the main points of his re- cent speech in the reichstag‘ several days before Mr. White had transmitted a statement of the views of the foreign office relative to the Samoan situation to the state department at Washington. Hence, Mr. White said, it was impossi- ble that Baron von Bulow’s speech had been influenced by the formal represen- tations made by Mr. White to his gov- ernment. . New ’dl‘k State Savings Banks.
