The pres- sure of the strong anti-cyclonic condition that existed In this storm pathway formed & barrier to the progress of the cyclonic storm that sought its usual course across the continent, and, as a result, when the front of the cyclone or the low pressure area moved eastward it was deflected from its usual path and traveled southeast into Utah and Colorado, where the pressure remained low for two or three da “Westerly and southwesterly winds, with high temperature, have prevailed in Colo- rado and southeastern Wyoming, while just north of the low center in Souih Dakota and western Wyoming much colder weather has prevailed and snow has been falling. The high wind in Colorado was confined to the eastern slope.” Wind Eighty-Five Miles an Hour. COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 22.—The sun rose this morning on a city badly scared and wrecked, but not discouraged by the most frightful ordeal in its history. The gale began to subside about midnight, when It was blowing at the rate of about fitty or sixty miles an hour, and it has continued gradually to abate eince that hour. The highest velocity, as represented by the weather bureau at Colorado college, was ty-five miles an hour. No foas. f life has been reported. Edgar Ensign, formerly state forestry commis- sloner, was caught under a falling pole on treet, near the El Paso club, and pinioned to the ground. He has a com- pound fractur: of one leg and internal in- Juries that will, in view of his advanced age, probably prove fatal. The damage is greatest in the business part of the city. The El Paso National bank, Durkee bullding, Gidding block, o house, high school, postoffice, Antler's livery stable, Colorado Springs Transfer company and Mining exchange bulldings, all in the center of the city, have roofs torn off or badly damaged and wreckage blockades the principal strects. Plate glass windows all er the oity are shattered and the loss in these alone will amount to many thcusands of dollars. From sections of the city outlying, reports have come of destruc- tion of many small dwelling houses. In Ivy Wild, a suburb, Smith's green house was blown down and burned. There were about & dozen alarms of fire during the day and ght. Firomen did vallant servics and prevented the spread of the flame Mayor Acts Promptly. Mayor Robinson 18 commended on all sides for his prompt action in organizing a com- mittes of satety. Major Shapcott was placed in charge and he at once organized a force to patrol the streets and instructions were positive to show no mercy to any- body starting a fire In the streets At 2 o'clock this morning the chief of police and Mayor Robinson announced that at least 100 frame residences had been crushed or wrecked completely by the gale. They also announced that thousands of shade trees have been torn up by the roots The wire situation in the city 1s appalling Few telephones are in service and not a single toll line wire & mile outside the city. The car lines are even in worse shape. Trolley wires are down and street cars on their backs, being overturned by the wind. The Postal Telegraph company has not a single wire anywhere. The Western Unlon bas only the one to Kausas City over the Rock Island Between Denver and the Springs many miles of pole lines are down nd will re- quire weeks to replace. The windstorm which swept over the Piko's Peak region yesterday afternoon and last night was tho worst ever experienced in this state and lasted sixteen hours. The period of greatest intensity was from 2 p. m. o9 p. m. There was no loss of lite The damage is estimated at $75,000.

At that hour the Durkee building |and EI Paso bank block, in the center of |the business portion, were partially de- | mollshed, causing a loss of $20,000.

The business section presents mantled aspect and all business peaded. The public schools were able |to resume during the day, although |many of the school bulldings were considerably damaged. Preservation of lite was undoubtedly assisted by the action of electrical companies in shutting down all gheir plants at 2 p. m. yester ay and ater by the work of the linemen in sever- ing all main line wires through the oity. The rapld transit lines have been pi lyzed for twenty-four hours, The storm was not In the nature of a cyclone, but rather a steady blow, occasioned by the excessive drop In temperature and conden- satlon of atmosphere two days ago. The losses to property from yesterday's storm amount to $100,000, divided as fol- lows: Business section of the towns, $40,- 000; Colorado Telephone company, $15,000; Colorado Electric Power company, $10,000; Wostern Unlon, $5,000; Postal Telegraph company, $5,000; Colorado & Philadelphia Reduction works, $10,000.

Between Los Angeles and this city there are elght wash- outs, slx of them being west of Ontario. On the Southern Pacific road there are three washouts, one at Sandimas, another at Pomona, and the third at San Gabriel. Both rallroad companies have temporarily suspended thelr time cards and announce that they will run as soon as possible. The roadbed under many miles of track has been 50 softened by raln that it is dangerous to run tralns even where there are no washouts. Rain s still falling, SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Nov, 22.—By the upsetting of a coast line stage in Los Pueblos creek S. W. Parker of Ventura was drowned and four other passengers narrowly escaped a similar fate. The stage, while crossing the creek elghteen miles from here, was caught in the current and overturned. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.—The wires of the Southern Pacific company on this coast are prostrated as the result of the storm. A number of washouts have occurred, espe- clally in the southern part of the state, where traffic has been delayed considerably.

In fact, eave a brief expression respecting the tnsufficiency of the punishments proposed by the Chinese government to be inflicted upon the respcnsible leaders of the Boxer movement, Mr. Conger has not communi- cated with the department for more than a week. Without taking lissue with Mr. Conger respecting this matter of punishments, the State department has earnestly advised him not to insist on impossible conditions 1n the negotiatiors. An Interesting problem is suggested by the possibility, which today Is almost a probabllity, that the ministers representing the powers at Pekin cannot reach an agreo- ment. 1f Russia, France and the United States should refuse to accept the German idea, as seconded by the British repre- sentative, much would depend upon Japan, and even some of the lesser powers repre- sented at Pekin by ministers might have great power in swaying the proceedings of the council. The impression scems to be that If a majority of the ministers, or per- haps even onc of the representatives of & great power, withholds assent to the agree- ment, then the whole undertaking falls, and there must be either fresh negotiations directly between the home governments in the effort to agree upon new basis of action, or the powers must proceed to deal with the Chinese situation singly, or in groups, the latter contingency having been pro- vided for In the German-British agreement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Attorney George R. Peck of Chi- cago, representing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rallroad company, 1s here on business before the Interior department re- lating to right of way from the north- western part of South Dakota, eastwara through the Indian reservations. The idea of the St. Paul company is to drive cattle ucross the reservations, thus saving the long detour now required to make con- nections with its line. The proposition is looked upon favorably by the authorities and it 18 proposed to allow & six-mile trail between the Standing Rock and Cheyenne river agencies, the Indians to be pald 26 cents per head for all cattle crossing thelr lands. The Northwestern also filed a po- tition for such & permit on the southern part of the reserve in order that it may make more direct conneetions at Forest City, 8. D. As the plans of the St. Paul road contemplate a trail running directly through the center of the Indian lands from Bowdle, 8. D., It Is regarded as more con- venient for the cattlemen. The require- ment was imposed, however, that a fence should be erected on both sides of the trall, a distance of about elgthty-six miles. It 18 to induce the officials to walve this ve- quirement that brings Attorney Peck here to confer with them. Trank Line aren Meet.

Tho arrival at the hotel was 11:45, and at noon precisely Kruger appeared on the balcony in answer to the cries of the multi- tude jammed tight in the wide street be- low. He bowed aud eaid a fow words which were translated thus “l am deeply touched. My heart mourns, but I accept your festive preparations Lecause expressing the sympathy of your glorious free race for our people, We are determiued to fight for liberty till we conquer or are completely exterminated. The remembrance of this day will long soothe the wounds of my old heart In order to testify his gratitude he took 1n his hand a corner of the French tricolor that was flying on the halcony between the Transvanl and Free State flags and pressed 1t to his heart again and again. The en thuslastic people cheered him until he with- drew to his rooms, which he found halt filled with boquets and garlands presented by his admire Mayor Expresses Sympathy. The prefect and mayor then called to pay their respects, the latter, M. Flalssieres ng an eloquent speech in sympathy h the Boers. Mr. Kruger roplied briefly, decl deeply he had been touched by the unex- pected whrmth of his reception in Mar- seflles and by the sympathy of the French people. After luncheon and a little repose Mr Kruger descended to the hall of the hotel, Where ho received the delegations. Dr. Leyds briefly interpreted the addresses of the varlous speakers, but it was evident that Mr. Kruger was fatigued and found It a great strain to follow the gestures of orators speaking a language unintel- ligible to him. When this was golng on his eyes frequently roamed about the room, but he listened attentively, with his hand to his ear, as Dr. Leyds gave him the gist of what had been said. Eventually becoming fatigued, he asked that other addresscs be presented to him In writing, and then with- drew again to his apartments, where ho passed the evening quietly, receiving no one. Dr. Leyds represented him at the banquet given In his honor, where all the Boer of- flclals and members of the pro-Boer com- mittecs were presont, and read the follow- ing message from him: I am fatigued and am in mourning. Moreover, I do not attend banquets, Other- wigo I should have liked to spend a few minutes with you and to thank you. I shall never forget the warm welcome 1 have had in your beautiful city.

LONDON 23.—The morning papers devote an unusual amount of space to Mr. Kruger's arrival at Mareellles and his doings, but are inclined to treat the mat- ter with comparative indifference fn the conviction that nothing can alter the course of events in South Africa.
