Dis- patches received today by the Associated Press report from eighteen to twenty inches of snow at Saratoga, Amsterdam, Monticel- lo and other points, and considerable inter- ruption to railway travel in consequence. In this city the storm subsided before mid- night, and today the weather is clear, but cold. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 12—The worst snow storm that has been experienced in western Pennsylvania for years swept over Pittsburg yesterday and last-night. More snow fell during the twenty-four hours end- ing this morning than all the days of the winter. The temperature dropped twenty degrees, and another fall of ten to fifteen degrees is expected today. Despite the heavy snow, trains on all lines were gen- erally on time. On the Baltimore and Ohio road a freight wreck near here last night tied up the line for nearly eight hours. No one was in- jvred. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 12.—Snow fell all of yesterday and last night in this state, the result being the heaviest storm of the season.

ROME, March 12.—The latest advices from Massowah are that the army of Ne- gos reached Entiscio. half way between Adowa and Adigrat. The forces of Osman Digna have arrived at Gulusit. PARIS, March 12—The railroad trains crossing the frenticr from Italy are crowd- ed with Italians who are leaving that coun- try to escape military service in Africa. CHICAGO, March 12.—Antonio Rosewa- dowski, Italian consul in Chicago, last night threw down his gavel and resigned from the chairmanship of a meeting held in the Italia Club to devise means for the relief of Italy’s wounded in°the African campaign. T-vo factions were in the meet- ing, and the row resulted in the with- drawil of a dozen men. Roscwadowski then said that in view of his official con- rection with the government, he could not be identified with any clique. ‘The Italia Club denounéed the seceders as socialists.

But the Recruits Are Regarded as Good Riddance at Omaha. OMAHA. Neb., March 12.—An agency is to be loceted in the city for the purpose of enlisting recruits for the insurgents’ army of Cuba. A man, with that object in view, arrived in the city several days ago and is now ready to enlist everybody whose overpowering sympathy for the struggling patriots is of suffictent strength to urge him to fight. He will be given all the fight- ing tools he wants, and all that is required of him will be to use them upon Spanish soldiers. This man has already obtained a number of enlistments. The recruits, how- ever, consist largely of hangers-on about the saloons. The scheme is looked upon with favor by the local police, and they are ready to give every encouragement in their power. The Cuban Resolutions. PARIS, March 12—The Eclair today, commenting on the Cuban resolutions of Congresg, says that in view of the “exag- gerated pretensions” of the United States it is “difficult to see why European diplo- mats cannot, at least, extend their good offices to Spain.” MADRID, March -12—Further demonstra- tions of students against the United States, as a result of the Cuban res- iutions* of Congress, have occurred. At Corunna two hurdred students: be- longing to the university joined in a parade yesterday, cheered for Spain and burned‘an American flag. The police, how- ever, succeeded in preventing the rioters from approaching the United States con- sulate. At Alicante the mayer and police, while dispersing a similar anti-American demon- stration, were pelted with stones. A num- ber cf policemen sustained injuries. SSS SENTENCED TO DEATH.

UNUSUAL SUFFERING The Great March Storm Brings Misery for the Poor. Raising Money to Bring Relicf—The Contributions Already Received —Central Union Mission. Great and unusual suffering among ‘he poor of the city has been caused by the storm which prevailed yesterday, according to the reports of the agents of the Asso- ciated Charities. The lamentable condition of affairs, in the opinion of Secretary Wil- son of that organization, will be heighten- ed today hecause persons will venture out in the slush when they were compelled to remain indoors yesterday by the intensity of the weather. By far the greatest amount of distress is caused by sickness, and the Associated Charities has its hands full with appeals of such a nature from all sections of the city. There is a woeful necessity for funds, al- though responses to the call for aid, issued yesterday by the emergency relief commit: tee, have already begun to arrive, but not in such numbers as are necessary to meet nts. However, the time has becnahorieand it is hoped that by tomor- row the contributions will be largely in- creased. The amounts reported today were as follows: The Evening Star Newspaper Co. Edward Farquhar.. Executrices of J. W. Eas Campbell Carrington W. _B. Gurley........ A Friend. Mary B. P. K. Reiley. J. W. Closson. by. Mr. N. W. Jones Total. €w:tributions should be sent to Mr. John Joy Edson, to any member of the emer- gency relief committete, or to The Evening Star. A large number of applications for relief have been made to the Central Union Mis- sion, but as that organization is entirely without funds the cnly action it can take is to refer the applicants to the Associated Charities. The mission for months past has given employment to a large number of men in its wood yard, but the quantity of sawed and split fuel now on hand is so great that it has been necessary to suspend operations. This state of affairs, occurring just when the suffering is increased be- cause of the inclement weather, is consid- ered particularly unfortunate, and a Star reporter was informed today that if the wood could be disposed of such will be gladly done at figures below the market price, and the mission will be able to ac- complish a good deal of charitable work with the money that might be realized from the sales. _—— The Great Falls Power. Mr. Needham, representing the Great Falls Power Company, concluded his argu- ment before the Senate subcommittee short- ly after The Star's report closed yester- day afternoon. He explained that the com- pany some years ago discovered, after an examination of the laws, that it only own- ed riparian rights on the stream, and that the state of Maryland, whose line extends to low water mark on the Virginia shore, owns the bei of the river. It thereupon obtained a contract with Virginia that gave it the right to dam the stream, and the intention was to establish a manufacturing town on the west bank of the river. He concluded his argument by urging the speedy paseage of the bill which takes all of the water power rights at the falls for the government, and suggested a number of amendments. Senator Proctor compli- mented him-on the clearness and concise- ness of his argument, when the hearing THE CASE OF MR. BOATNER Tt May Have an Effect on the Lonisiana Blections Next Month, Alleged Scheme to Disfranchixe About 90,000 Colored Voters in the State. The report of the House electiong com- mittee declaring the seat now occu- pied by Mr. Boatner of Louisiana vacant comes at a time when it may influence the canvass at present in progress in that state for a full state and legislative ticket. The election takes place Apr!l 21. Excite- | ment is running high, and the result ‘s thought to be in doubt. The democracy, although in full possess!on of the state's affairs, including the elections machinery, {s unquestionably uneasy. All available forces are being brought into the field. Senator Blanchard, under ~an indefinite leave of absence from his duties here, has gone to the rescue, and will be followed by several of his colleagues from the House. The opposition is composed of both popu- Usts and republicans, and is led by men to the manner born. Suffrage the Leading Issue. The leading issue at atake relates to the Suffrage. The democrats have a gcheme designed to d'sfranchtse the colored voters ir bulk. Its adoption, it is charged, would deny the right to vote to at least ninety thousand out of the one hundred and ten thousand colored voters in the state, and this would bring Louisiana into the same column with Miss'ssippi and South Caro- Ena of a guaranteed white supremacy for very many years. The fusion opposition is fighting this with all possible energy, and is asserting that it can only be carried by & resort to wholesale ballot-box stuffing. That ts to say, the negro can only be dis- franchised by the boxes being stuffed and counted against him in those parishes where he is numerically strong. If his votes can be used next month in this way to elect a democratic legislature, that leg- islature will enact the dsfranchising meas- ure referred to. The Boatner Cane. It so happens that this Boatner case, ac- cording to the repuj ican report made, il- lustrates the evil in, question. The fifth Louisiana district jg’ composed of some counties with a majority: of white voters, and some with a majgrity,of colored voters. Mr. Boatner, the democratic nominee, had for his opponent lag$ fall a populist, and the returns showed that tie populist eandi- date carried the white counties and Mr. Boatner the black ‘cbuntfes. The rcturns from the black countfés were at once chal- lenged by the populist cayiidate, upun_the ground that the votes'of the colored men there were not cast for Mr. Boater, but that the boxes had ‘feen ‘stuffed and’ that the returns were fraudulént. The repupli- can majority of théHouge elections com- mittee agrees after hivesffgation with this view of the matter, dnd declares that there was no election. Ee Where Congress.May Come In. So far as the state's affairs are concern- ed, Congress has no power of interference. Mississippi and South ‘Carolina have both disfranchised their colored voters, and Lou- isiaa, if she can assemble a legislature in sympathy with the scheme, may do the same thing: But the legislature to be elect- ed there next month ‘will be charged with the duty of electing ia successor to Mr. Blanchard, and that will bring the situation within reach of the Senate if an appeal should be made to that body against the seating of the Senator so chosea. If the legislature elected.next month is subject to the same criticism as ‘respects its title that Mr. Boatner has just-been declared to be respecting his title, there is no doubt that the republicans will ask the Senate to do in the case of Mr. Blanchard’s successor what the House is about-to do in the case of. Mr. Boatner, f {BLIZZARD DAY Anniversary of the Great Storm of 1888 Appropriately Celebrated. HOW:-YESTERDAY'S STORM STARTED Its Track From Texas to the Coast 3 of Maine. SEVEREST OF THE WINTER The severest storm of the present winter spent yesterday in Washington. It passed away as rapidly as it approached. It is a coincidence that the date selected for the visit was the anniversary of the memorable blizzard of 1888, which was central in New York state, and which caused great damage throughout the east, in addition to putting a stop to travel for two or three days, and hindering telegraphic communication. The storm which prevailed here yesterday was remarkable because, of the rapidity of its passage. It was born about midnight Monday in southern Texas, near Corpus Christi, and soon demonstrated that it was a lusty infant, causing much commotion when but a few minutes old. It immediate- ly started off to see something of the world and mapped out an itinerary that included the important cities of the east and north. The folks ahead knew that something was coming, for prospects of rain soon develop- ¢d on the middle and South Atlantic coast and in the east gult states. The Progress of the Storm. By the exercise of great activity the storm by early yesterday morning had moved northeastward to South Carolina, where it was central at that time. It caused very heavy rains in the east gulf and middie Atlantic states. It moved rapidly northeastward along the Atlantic coast, causing dangerous northeasterly gales from Eastpert to Cape Hatteras dur- ing the afternoon and night. Heavy rain and snow extended into New England and the middie states. The officials of the Weather bureau yesterday morning grew a little anxious and hoisted burricane signals all along the Atlantic coast from Eastport, Me., to Cape Hatteras, and displayed storm signals south of Cape Hatteras and along the gulf coast to Corpus Christi. All vessels scheduled to leave ports north of Capt Hatteras were warned not to ven- ture forth, but to seek the best shelter to be found, and all craft south of Cape Hat- teras were notified that it would probably be the same as suicide to sail or steam north of that point. While it was in the spirit of the thing, the weather bureau decided to do its work well, and in a finished manner, |.80 signals of heavy snow blockades were ued throughout New York, New Jersey, nnsylvania and Ohio, with cold wave flags in the Ohio valley and east gulf states. The center of the storm hovered over Nor- folk yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock while it took a breathing spell to reeover wind and gain energy, and at that hour it was snow- ing at all points north of Washington and raining in the south—that is, the portion east of the M sippi river. The center of the storm last evening had shifted to New York and the wind was bowling through space at the rate of seventy-two miles an hour at Block Island, fifty-six miles at New York city, fifty-six miles at Cape Hatteras and fifty-two miles at Boston. The wind was very heavy all along the coast, with deep snow throughout the north. Where It Raged This Morning. Portland, Me., was clad in rubber boots and mackintoshes this morning, for the storm center was dallying about that town, and there had been no let-up in the downfall of snow in the New England and middle states and the lower lake region. It has cleared in the south, with a cold wave very much in evidence. According to the weather bureau, the storm will move rapidly northeastward, and high northwesterly winds will prevail on the Atlantic coast from tport to Cape Hai- teras today and tonight. The weather will clear in the New Bngland and middle states tonight and it will be fair and colder tomor- row. It will continue fair and cold in the Ohio valley ard east gulf states tonight and will werm slowly Friday. By Saturday things are expected to resume their normal condition hereabouts. -The trip of the storm from southern Texas to Maine was accomplished in forty-eight hours, which is somewhat of a record. Such storms are not unusual, however, and it {s customary for Washington to be honored, or otherwise, by a visit during the early part of March of each year. The severe storm of last year, which approached a bliz- zard in intensity, occurred February 7. It may be worthy of mention that the Weather bureau was correct in every detail in its predictions regarding the present storm. ee EMANCIPATION PARADE.

James White entered a plea of guiity in Judge Miller’s court today to a charge of concealed weapons, and Policeman Scram- lin, who made the arrest, presented the re- volver in evidence. There were five loads in the weapon last night when the arrest was made. White, who was in a South Washing- ton saloon, ordered a man named Stewart, who was also a patron of the saloon, to leave. “1 won't do it,” said Stewart. much right in here as you.” : “If you don’t get out I'll kill you,” said White, and ke pulled the revolver from his pocket. Policeman Scramlin appeared on the scene and deprived White of his liberty.

The House yesterday passed the post of- fice appropriation bill, which has been un- der consideration since last Friday. The feature of the day’s debate was the attack on the “spy system” in connection with let- ter carriers. The salaries of the special in- spectors have been paid under the current law out of a fund at the disposal of the first assistant postmaster general. This fund was cut off by the present bill, but provision was made for the employment of thirty additional regular inspectors under the fourth assistant postmaster general, in- creasing the appropriation from $176,000 to $212,000. Mr. Quigg of New York led the fight against the increase, and, after pro- tracted debate his amendment to reduce the appropriation to $176,000 prevailed—70 to 5%. After the bill was reported to the House Mr. Bromwell of Ohio offered an amendment to strike out the appropriation of $196,000 for special mail facilities from Boston to New Orleans, which was re- tained in the bill after a hard struggle yes- terday. But his motion was defeated on a yea and nay vote—Hli to 134, ‘ FINANCIAL.
