Spoctal Cable Disyatch to The Evening Star. Loxpox, March 10.—A blizzard bas been rag- ing over England since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, which is generally admitted to be the worst storm of the century. mercury had risen to such an extent that the temperature was summer-like, but today the country is again plunged into the depths of winter and the whole country is knee-deep ip snow. Last evening the olis were deserted, the wind was blowing # gule and sifting fine snow into the faces of pedes- trians. Busses stopped running, no cabs could be had, telegraph comm tinent was interrupted and trains were either entirely blocked or greatly delayed, many acci- dents being reported. From the provinces comes the information that the country roads are impassable on ac count of drifts, ON THE coast. The state of affairs on the coast and in the English and St. George's channels ix simply appalling. Many vessels have been torn from their moorings at quays, and along the whole coast the greatest excitemen in fishing boute and telegraph wires being im- London this morning looks has had a pull thrown over it an abandoned, street trafic having bee: to « standstill, and only a stray being here and there visible.

It is being generally accepted that the Presi- dent's political eyes are sharply watching the horizon and taking in everything akin toa sign of the times that may have a bearing on bis fu- ture.
