Want a New Conserva-tive Majority. Vienna, Jan. 20. The lower house of the Keicbserath was dissolved by an unexpected decree published In the journal. Elections will be held immediately. Count Von Taaffe, the premier, desires a new conservative majority in the house, having aban-doned dependence in the Bohemian and Slav meuibots, whom ho cousiders un-reliable. The Gazette publishes as an election manifesto an article attributed to Fi-nance Minister Dunajawski, which is the most liberal eTer issued by the gov-ernment. The manifesto reminds the nation that legislation must bo adapted to the spirit of the times, and promises tha) the next parliament will deal with the social question. It makes a large bid for the support of the young Czechs, hinting at tho autonomy of the various races under the Emperor Francis Jo-seph as desirable. This latter is tho most important feature of the mani-festo. The elections for the new Australian parliament will be hold in March. Count Von Taaffe was induced to dis-solve by fear of conflicts on the budget and other questions. IN SENATE AND HOUSE. Wolcott's Motion to Tako up the reap-portionment Hill Prevails. Washington, I).

He cites Secretary Bayard s action in tho Gome case aud says he (Mizner) was ruled by that iu the Barrundia affair. Barrundia was a citizen and a polit-ical offender against the laws of Guatu-niala- , besides being indicted for com-mon crimes. He came voluntarily into the jurisdiction of Guatemala on a mer-chant steamer. Tho captaiu of the steamer asked him (Mizner) for instruc-tions and he advised the officer to sur-render Barrundia if bis ship was within one league of the territory of Guate-mala.

The alliance forces hold their caucus tonight for the purpose of naming some one from their number, who cau harmonize the dis-cordant elements iu their party. If such a ono is found the first engage-- 1 ineut will occur Tuesday? Ingalls will be then elected by tho senate, there being iu that body IIS ingalls men, one democrat and one alliance man. If the alliance men stick to their caucus man they will have U3 votes io the house to 24 republican, and 8 dem-ocratic ballots. Then on Wednesday will como the joint session, when all will depeud upnu the ability of the alli-ance to keep thuir forces together. If they succeed lu this the session may end before nightfall. The Ingalls men are relying on the old soldier element in tho alliance throwing themselves ou tho side of In-galls when he shall march iuto the house from the senate chamber. Some of the knowing ones assure you that no caucus actiou ou earth can prevent thin. One of these prophets says: Tomorrow petitions will bo read la the house from every grand army post in Kansas, usking for the of Ingalls. These petitions will not come from the posts themselves but from the leading post in each post. This will get around tho objection the objection that the (i. A. R is a l body.

Crash to Ths Streets. Nkw York, Jan. 27 This city is "till isolated this morning, telegraphic communication being only partially restored. Largo forces of men are at work clearing the streets of the fallen poles nnd broken wires, and the whole, force of police and tiro departments is doing patrol duty to guard against tires as all lire alarm wires-withi-the city are still down. The, streets are rendered almost impassable by tho fallen poles and tangled wires. It is believed that the large force of men at work will have communication nearly restored by evening The weather is clear and cool this morning. At 1 this afternoon tho associated' press dispatches from the west began to arrive and were tho first news dis-patches from tho outside world since last night. The ticker service la this city is still suspended and business at most of the exchanges is almost at a. standstill. The cotton and coffee ex-- , changes are doing nothing. The wires at the maritime exchange are all down and a revenue cutter has been pressed into service between Sandy Hook and the city. The damage to the electrical ' companies of the city is estimated at half a million dollars. All the wires' between this city and Philadelphia are still down. 8 p. m. The telegraphic situation is very slowly improving. The Western I'uion has one wire to Albany, one to Buffalo and one to Chicago. For New England everything has still to go by train to New Haven. Not a wire is yet working between this city and Phila--. delphia or points south. A violent wind and snow storm in this city early yes-terday morniug proved one-o- f the most disastrous to Udegraph, telephone and ,r electric wires that ever Tisiled this city. Poles and wires are down all over the city. Many narrow escapes are re-corded and tho fire alarm and tele- -' phone service were rendered nearly useless. The city last night was in darkness, save as far as gaslight is concerned. By, much delayed trains come reports of utter prostration of all means of com-munication in and from outlying towns of New Jersey. Seven huge telegraph pales on Fourth avenue were broken off close to the ground, falling with a great crash into the' rut of the Now York Central rail-- , road, effectually blocking the track. A passenger train came thundering down the track and could only be stopped within a few feet o the wreckage. At 2:10, on East Broadway, an im- -' mense tree fell into the street and nar-rowly escaped a carload of street car passengers. Iu its descent it carried down an immense number of wires of every description. All telegraph poles on Seventh ave-nue, from Forty-secon- d street to Fifty-nint- h are lying flat on the pavement. The heavy poles on Fifty-nint- h street and Eighth avenue suffered the same fate. One of the poles is hanging di-rectly over the entrance porch of the Roosevelt hospital by wires. At tho corner of Fifty-nint- street and Ninth avenue the elevated railroad station is partially crushed in by falling poles. At 7 o'clock in the morning a line of immense poles fell with a crash, carry-ing not less than one hundred and fifty wires and numerous cables two inches thick, in which were inclosed from forty to seventy-fiv- e wires each. On Chambers street an electric wire Was carried down by a falling pole and struck two street car horses, killing one instantly. A number of fires were started by the electric light wires but extinguisned with trifling damage. At l o'clock yesterday morning the wind was blow'ing forty-fiv- e to fifty miles an hour. The storm opened in the Gulf of Mexico Fridav and increased in severity until it reached Cape Hat-tera- s and New York. The rain changed to snow about midnight and continued until 10 a. m., and nine inches fell. It is thought the blizzard did not extend more than 100 miles inland. The West-ern Union is badly crippled, all the wires being down but three, and thoso are now working in the western circuit, connecting Albany, Roch-ester and Buffalo. Tho storm extended over the entire' re-gion from Boston through the lower .. eastern states, southern New York, New Jersey, Delaware and south of Maryland. At one time communication to Phila-delphia. Albany and Boston was entire-ly cut off. The wires to Albany first resumed working. During the day telegraphic matter has been sent by train from here to points in New Eng-land and New Jersey, to be forwarded. Th. Woman'. slights Association. Boston, Jan. 20. Special to The Times. The first national convention of the Woman's Right association, which began today has brought from near and remote regions to this city, women whose advocacy of the rights of their sex has made their names familiar to the public. The convention is at-tracting a good deal of attention in the state. There are many distinguished women among the delegates. By spec-ial invitatiou, Mrs. Sallie Joy 'White delivered au address on "Women in Journalism." SNOWING AT PHILADELPHIA. Much Ittmtii to Properly by te.t.rday'. Moron, Philateli-hia- , Jan. 20. It is snow-ing heavily this morning and a number of small wrecks are reported. The damage done to property by the storm is large. Throughout New Jersey trains were obliged to feel their way as the telegraph poles aud wires were all down. It will take day's to repair the damage. Mails are from one to ten hours late. Tho greatest delay and damage is near the coast. MIDWINTER DISTRESS IN LONDON. Kxtr.ma Buffering Anions th. Lower ('la... tCvery where. Londom, Jan. 20. Special to Thf. Times. In all parts of London there is to be found striking evidence of the extreme distress which now prevails. Many of the local authorities are re-sorting to what means they have lu their power to alleviate the suffering. The Marylebone vestry and kindred societies are making every effort to give work and sustenance to tho unem-ployed. Crowds of men aro daily col-lected around the offices of the Dock laborers' union, waiting tickets en-titling them to soup or more substantial food. A petition is being circulated re-questing Mr. Balfour to divert a por-tion of the fund which ho is raising for the Irish people to the relief of the poor of London. It Kudyard Kipling a Cart? New York World. A young and presumably English writer; Rudyard Kipling by name, em-bellished several columns of the Sunday Herald with his opinions of the Amer-ican people. He came from India to Sail Fraucisco, and after a self con-fessed social intercourse with a dray-man, a bunko-steerer- , a clerk in the Palace hotel, a barkeeper in a dive where he found and enjoyed free lunch, several light heelad streetwalkers on Kearny street after dark, and miscella-neous other social magnates of the same caste, he was enabledin ten days to for-mulate powerful impressions of tho republic, its manners, customs aud relative value in the scale of civiliza-tion. It appears that Mr. Kipling's con-ditions were severely lacerated on all sides by the roughness, impertinence, ignorance and coarse vulgarity of the loathsome people he encountered, and his situation seems to have been made unnecessarily harrowing by the Bohe-mian club and by several hut insufferable persons whom he geuerally terms "millionaires," who, perhaps gutlty of supposing him to possess qual-ities common to most men of presumed intelligence, freely tendered him their revolting hospitality.

Washington, 1. C, Jan. 2(1. The Behring sea case did not come up in the supreme court today for the reason that the case under argument Friday is not yet disposed of and the rest of the day will be needed to con-clude the argument. The Behring sea matter, therefore, goes over until to-morrow. The court was lilted with spectators who were disappointed at the failure of the ease to come up. CUBA IS Th. Mercury Low.r Than Ever Before Known on That I.land. Havana, Jan. 20. The continued northerly gales which have prevailed since New Year's have reduced the temperature all overthe island of Cuba, and this will be noted as the coldest winter ever known in this latitude. The mercury has fallen as low as 58 and 5D. Tho cold weather is favorable to the development of the cane, which is in a splendid condition, ami sugar making is now general throughout the island. The estimates for a very large crop will be greatly reduced on account of frequent fires among the standing cane, many of which, no doubt, were incendiary, aud large quantities of growing cane have been consumed. The loss to the planters will be im-mense. Learned Nothing New. Washington, Jan. 20. J. D.

Tho iuterest which Stanley aroused on his arrival here has died" out, and Major Pond is endeavoring, so far unsuccessfully, to revive it. The Oreate.t Operator In Stork.. New York World. No matter how carefully people read the newspapers just now it is doubtful if the public has an accurate idea of the appearance of the greatest operator in stocks who ever lived Mr. Gould goes to bed every night at 10 o'clock, does not drink tea or coffee, eats with great regularity, and takes admirable care of his health, but the pace has told upon him nevertheless. Mr. Gould looks like a man whose entire physical strength had gone to his intellectuals. IPs tic n re has become spare to a point bordering on emaciation. His formerly jet black beard is gray and his eyes are sunken and heavily underlined with dark rings. His hair and beard are not kept with the scrupulous exactness that once characterized them. A full look at his face when he is not wearing his hat would immediately impress one who did not know the man. His face is that of an icsthetic. and the whole expression is one of intense thought. No man in public life today has so dis-tinctly the look of a brain worker as Mr. Gould. His vitality, however, is something amazing and the chances are that he will outlive every big oper-ator in Wall street, because he takes care of himself. I. the Sum Coquetting With Gorman?

They further claim that the continued navigation of the Hudson river by vessels of large tonage and the commerce of the Cham-an- Erie canals are dependent entirely on the preservation from further de-struction of tho Adirondack forests from which is derived the water supply of these arteries of commerce.
