R NEW YORK, March 16.—The Times to- morrow will publish the following: The Grand Jury had before it yesterday (Fri- day) as witnesses Captain Thomas of the tenderloin precinet, and Chief Devery, and there was a persistent rumor that the former would be indicted by the Grand Jury before it had finished its in- vestigation concerning matters that had transpired in the precinct. Captain Thomas was a witness at his own request. He was warned that any admissions made by him would be used against him in case the Grand Jury came to the conclusion that an indictment for neglect to perform his duty was warranted. Nevertheless, Cap- tain Thomas was examined, and after he left the Grand Jury room Chief Devery, who had for some time been in consulta- tion with the District Attorney, was called in. The request of the Grand Jury that the District Attorney furnish it with a copy of the charge made by Justice Barrett to the Grand Jury on December 28, 1893, was con- sidered significant from the'fact that In- spector Thompson, in whose district Cap- tain Thomas’ precinct is located, was also a witness before the Grand Jury. The charge of Justice Barrett held that in any precinct where the law was vio- lated the inspector of the district was equally llable with the captain, and that the fact that his territory was er did tor of lability. The World to-morrow will say: a result of their deliberations there were drawn up in the District Attorney’s office and delivered to Foreman Putnam of the Grand Jury three separate indictments against a police official in high authority. POLICE COMMISSIONERS WILL BE INDICTED NEW YORK, March 17.—The Press says: The four Police Commissioners of the city of New York—Bernard J. York, John B. Sexton, Henry E. Abell and Jacob Hess—are to be indicted pg the Grand Jury for what the statute defines as an offense against public justice. The in- dictment may be handed in on Mon- ot onger Wednesday.

Trafic Demoralized In and Around New York and Fruit Crops Ruined in Many South- ern States. s CHATTANOOGA, March 16.—The worst feared by fruit-growers of Eastern Ten- nessee and North Georgia was realized in the cold wave of last night. Reports this morning show that the mercury dropped to 24, and everything is frozen over this entire section. Fruit-growers will lose heavily. Johnson City reports nine inches of snow, which by its weight has damaged large tracts of timber. NEW YORK, March 16.—Nine incnes of sleet and snow cover the streets of New York to-day, and 4000 men are bat‘ling with it in Manhattan. Three thousand more are at work in Brooklyn. Traffic has { been partially paralyzed in some sections | of the city since early this morning. Dur- ing the early hours the Brooklyn bridge traffic was practically blocked. The steel on the third rail supplying electric power to the bridge cars cut off the current, and | a general blockade was the result. The | trolley lines over the bridge were not much better, and thousanas of persons were forced to walk across In the face of { & cutting wind and sleet. Surface traffic | was, of course, everywhere delayed. The | Fif avenue elevated road (which uses the third rail electric system) in Brooklyn ‘was almost completely tied up after mid- night. In the crowded streets down town fallen horses and stalled drays and wrucks greatly impeded business, causing many blockades. In the outlying districts simi- lar conditions prevailed. he fall of snow in New Jersey was heavier than ‘n the | city. Mail trains were delayed by the | storm and the mails were several sours | behind in their delivery. On many of the suburban lines in New Jersey the trolley wires broke under the weight of their coating of sleet and ice, tying up several linea; completaly. ‘A numbet o hors were killed by contact with live wires. | fatalities from the cold are reportsd in | | the city. The station-houses and chari- | table institutions were crowded with the homeless. SHAMOKIN, Pa., March 16.—Snow be- gan falling here yesterday morning, and | when the storm ceased at 4 o'clock this morning the ground was covered to a depth of seventeen inches.

Administration officials say that the order has no reference to infor- mation received from the American Asso- ciution of Shanghai as to the hostile atti- tude of thc Empress Dowager to the “‘open docr” policy. They point out that if a naval demonstration were intended a squadron wculd be ordered to Taku in- stead of one ship. They pooh-pooh the idea that the Empress Dowager has been influenced by a foreign nation, presum- ably Russia, to take the attitude stated th ciation. y Hay has in his possession iual repiies of all Governments of Europe to bis “open door” representations, and the President has under consideration the question of whether or not to transmit them to Congress in a special message. | Consequently a hostile_attitude on the part of the Empress Dowager on the “‘open door” question could not be dis- layed toward the United States alone, ut it necessarily would have to be ex-| | tended to all other nations parties to the agreement. At the Chinese Legation no credence is placed in the report about such hostility. The Chinese Minister has long been- out- spoken in favor of negotiations. The trouble in the province of Shan- tung, according to reports received from | Minister Conger which have been trans. mitted te the Na Department and ca- bled to Admiral Watson. arises out of op- erations ot the “Boxers,” a secret Chinese | | saults upon foreign misstonaries and their converts and property. These protests | have been unavailing. It would not be surprising if all of the nations having | missionaries in China should deem it ad- | visable to send men-of-war to impress | upon the Chinese Government the neces- sity of protecting foreigners. SUGGESTS THAT GREAT | BRITAIN REMONSTRATE | LONDON. March 17.—The Shanghat cor- lrespondenl of the Times says: “Concur- | rently with the representations of the American Association to Washington against the anti-foreign policy of the Em- press Dowager, the China Association has suggested to the British Minister, Sir | Claude Macdonald, that a remonstrance against the action of the Chinese Govern- | ment would be consistent with her policy. | The present action of the diplomatic y in Peking appears to indicate acquiescence | in the reactionary policy of the Empress Dowager.” | "BERLIN, March 16.—Referring to the attacks on American missionaries in China and to the orders issus by the United States to Admiral Watson to send a warship to Taku to look after the inter- est of the missionaries, a high official of the German Foreign Office said this even- ing: “Germany does not claim authority over the entire Shantung peninsula and the United States Government has a per- fect right to send a ship there for the pro- tection of American citizens.” STEAMER ICEBOUND IN LAKE MICHIGAN Preparations Made to Release Her and Food Will Be Supplied to Passengers and Crew. ST. JOSEPH, Mich.,, March 16.—The steamer Louisville, of the Graham & Morton line, in Lake Michigan, in the Chicago course, to-night, and nothing can be done to re- lieve her until daybreak. The steamer went into the ice early to-day, and the barbor tug, after five hours’ work, reached the vessel at noon. After three hours’ battling with the ice the vessel was abandoned for the night for want of coal. At daybreak another attempt will be made with a new supply of coal to bring in the steamer. Provisions for the twen- ty passengers on board will also be taken out. President Graham says that he be- lieves the vessel will weather the storm where she is until a new supply of coal is furnished. The wind is now blowing sixty miles an hour and it is bitter cold. Much anxiety is felt here over the safety of the vessel's crew and passengers. But once this atterneon did the fall of snow cease so that the vessel and tug could be sighted.
