Reports from tho north and western purls of the state indicate that the storm of Sat-urday and Sunday was much more se-vere than at lirst supposed. A special from Kushville tells of the death of Mrs. Milton Cunimings. who lost her way and perished while endeavoring to reach her home. Stock suffered se-verely, the loss of cattle and horses in transit boing unusually severe. All the railroad lines have been ser-iously hampered, trains being from four to twenty-fou- r hours late.

He had the causa of tho working classes at heart,, but not being a dictator, he must leave tht suffrage question to the na-tion. "Workmen are wrong," he added, "in considering themselves a separate caste. Wo are all Belgians In different grades and all workmen." The delegates replied that the work-men had been made a separate class by being refused the right to vote. OPPOSED TO FREE COlNACE. Mls.onrl Ba.ln... M.n B.fora Ik Coinage Commit... i Washington, D. C. Feb. 10. The house coinage committee assembled this morning, Geo. E. Lelghton and E. A. Hancock of St. Louis, representing the merchants and manufacturers, with a capital of $100,000,000, who signed the memorial against the passage of the free coinage bill were present and the former addressed the committee. The memorial signed in St. Louis, he s.ild. did not have the signature of a single hanker or capitalist. Leighton said he believed the world was now in such close business communication that an international bimetallic arrangement might be effected on a proper baiis, but that nothing could be accomplished if this country started out with the deter-mination to force tho acceptance of its views. Notwithstanding the cry of in-terested parties, he maintained that the great body of industrious people of the west, and especially of Missouri, were opposed to free coinage. The witness having stated that it was necessary that the currency should bo of a metal whose value varies the least, and that metal was gold. Carter called attention to the fact that silver never varied so ernatly as gold between 1848 and WO, and then asked why the use of both metals should not constitute a more unvarying standard than either of them separately as expe-rience shows it is alternately but not simultaneously that the supplies of gold and silver are increased, the wit-ness in reply said he was a bimetalist but believed the free coinage of sil ver without an international agreement would not raan himHtalism but the use of silver only. That the silver agita-tion had greatly affected business he said was shown by fast notes and new bonds now in many instances made payable in gold by special contract. The silver advocates might say the gun was not loaded but the sub-stantial point was that a good many people believed it was loaded, and noth-ing should be done to disturb confi-dence when business was in a very sat-isfactory condition. In the end it would be the consumer and producer and not the business men who would have to bear the hnrilen of the wide, tliietuji- - tions. Commerce would always take care of itself and would always churgo a premium that would more than cover the risk taken. In his judgment this country was already adding; too much silver to the currency of the country. If kept up it would inevitably result in our getting on a silver basis. All the talk about public sentiment in favor of free coinage was bosh. It was the ap-pearance of a sentiment that did not exist. A vieorous protest against further silver legislation from the bankers' association of Buffalo, N. Y., was laid before the committee. Adjourned. Albany Oppos.. Free Sllv.r. Aliianv, N.Y., Feb. 10.

And the lielllcose Sergeant i X Gobbled I p by One of Ills Q' Own Men. w Marshal Young and Captain Parker are " Both Called Into Active CO Service. KtJ a STRIPPED OF HIS ORNATE BADCE, Kergeeut Caution I. oc Mori Relegated to th. Quickstep or a Poor Out I'.tulaat Cltlien. The Little Napoleon is a lapsed renv iniscence. His lirst name is Sergeant Cantlon. There is a "Dennis" in it now that wai not there yesterday. Marshal John M. Young presented him with it at 3 o'clock this morning. Th occasion for tho christening is unfolded in ; charge of drunk and disorderly conduct, two arrests having been made. The initiative was taken by Officer Mathews who ran biro, into the yawning portals of police head-quarters shortly after 1 o'clock thie morning. The second arrest was made shortly before daybreak, when Officer Randolph pocketed the enemy. The story of the arrest is full of thrilling incident. It would furnhtb a volume of racy literature. It was about 1 o'clock when he shied his castor and picked out the Walker House cafe in which to shy it. At the lime he had his eagle eye rivited upon the angulat and statuesque form of Sullivan. Ho wanted that gentleman to join him in a flagon of gin. Sullivan de-clined when bo wont after Officer George Albright and in rhetoric that would have turned a bowery record pale with y demanded the lntter'8 company. Allbright also declined whereupon the Little Napoleon got mad. The firma-ment began to grow threatening, the gods ill war began to growl in their kennels. Albright who was now oil duty was not4iLpnsei" to engage Jo hosr , tiJities. On ' tho contrary he wanted 1 peace and to secure it didn't proposo to fight. Ha pocketed his pride a hard tank tor a brave man and was soon upon the landing above, with Cantlon right at his Hank. The retreat was made to the office of the Walker bouse, and Officer Mathews appearing at this juncture, he was ordered to arrest Cantlon. This ha did with latest improved official grace. and the doughty sergeant wit h the quick step pace was taken down to police headquarters. There Cantlon satisfied the desk sergeant and he was given his liberty. It was 3 o'clock or thereabouts before he exploded again and in the mean-time both Marshal Young and Captain Parker bad been notified of tho war that was raging with-in their jurisdiction. They both reported on the field of battle and were occupying positions in the lobby of the World's Fair when the army made its appearance in lurid colors. "Am I drunk?" asked Cantlan in, rugged and lofty Hibernian accent. Tho marshal was not prepared to pronounce a verdict at that moment and did not arrive at one until Cantlon had finished his harangue that described all sorts of geometrical ligures around the form of the municipal men-tor and made the surroundings bine anil sulphurious with official contempt. "Now," said Marshal Young, "I'm convinced that you have been looking on the ardent when it's red," and his formidable right hand grasped the ser-geant's badge and then tha club. Sergeant Cantlon was off-icially disrobed. His star had set for the time being at least, and in Offi-cer Randolph's pouch he was taken down the second time to police head-quarters. Again, however, he was per-mitted to inflict hims.'lf upon the thoroughfares, and ambling down the street he eaino across Chas. Galas. Again hu opened his profane artillery and the interview was pro-tracted until Gates retreated and sought refuge in the World's Fair. A few minutes later the elements of war had broken their stubborn fetters, and the "Little Napoleou" and ex Sergeant Gates were struegliug for supremacy. The fight was brief. The bystanders so decreed it. Cantlon got the worst of it if his appearance may bo accepted in evidence. Gates broke his kiiiwkles in the engagement; otherwise 110 scar remains to cry aloud of the fierce but momentary meeting. The affair has since been the talk of the town. The defeat of the original Napoleon was never attended by mora f;ossip. Officer Albright was seen reporter and told him the story just as it has been recounted above. Marshal Young was also interviewed and portrayed in graphic language the manner in which Cantlon had been decapitated. Sullivan corroborates the story of Caution' tragic advent in the Walker House cafe and to aggravate the sergeants chapter of offenses tho particulars of an assault, a heel-and-t-assault, on a pris-oner were volunteered. It is alluded to as a most brutal affair and as having been continued even up to the time that the captive was landed in police headquaaters. The officers themselves should have avenged this last offense in a summary way. It was their duty to have protected the prisoner even at tha -i- r oi life. They are paid for iU t III! MM.

Special to Tun Timks.J The Journal of Satur-day, which caused such trouble in the bouse yesterday, came up asunlinishbd business this morning and was adopted. The bill regarding tho driving of live stock off the usual ranges, which the governor vetoed yesterday was passed this morning over tho veto by a vote of 31 to 4. Price introduced a resolution provid-ing that inasmuch as the legislature had elected Dubois as senator to take the term commencing March 4th, and ns no vacancy now exists, that no fur-ther election beheld. Price said he had no doubt tho reso-lution would be defeated but he desired it to go on record. Jt was defeated by a vote of 20 to 15, Jones (independent democrat) voting with the majority. In tho senate the same resolution was introduced. The vote being a tie, 0 to 0, the president declariiig it lot. A message was received from the governor with the information that he had appoiuted Frank P. Cavanagb, W. C. Hill and I. N. Coston directors of the insane asylum for two years. Kecess was taken until 11:50, when the legislature reassembled. Nothiug was done until 12, wheu tho president said the time had arrived for tho senate to proceed to the election of a United Slntss senator, as provided by the reso-lution.

Jones, independ-ent democrat, voted for lSrizee, a news-paper correspondent; Lyon was absent and the fifteen Dubois men refused to vote. This gives Clagett twenty-eigh- t voles on joint ballot; being enough to elect. Tomorrow the senate will meet with the house and canvass the vole and de-clare Wni. H. Clagett elected.

OGDEN'S MUNICIPAL FICHT. Turner Captnr. Flrat I'l.om and Will t'r-1- I. la tba Chair. Or.riEN, Feb. 10 Special to The Times. Tho result of the election is now well established. McNutt is de-feated and was made the victim of the most tremendous wave of opposition that was ever directed at a single man on a single ticket. The entire fight was aimed at him. It was "anything to down McNutt,"and while his friends and the party fought hard to save him, it was beyond the range of possibilities. The election of the remainder of tho upper stories of the ticket is the best evidence of the tight made on its head. 'I'he citi-zens have secured six of the aldermen, rtnd while some nre disappointed, all are willing to admit that Ogden has sustained no disaster in tue election of Turner who has been known as a liberal for years. It was Mr. Caiuo who said a year ago thrt the people's party would never put a ticket in the. field again and the significance of his remark is read between the lines today. Th citizen!.,, organization meant. more than w,is'at. first imagined as it combines the devotees of both parties. THE CZAR AND FINLAND. An Kthtbltl.n nl Mod. ratios That I. Kathar lurprl.lug, London, Feb. 10. Tho czar Is enact-ing the role of a constitutional sover-eign in the only province of the Russian empire that lias a constitution. The Finnish diet is in session and consider-ing the moasures submitted for its con-siders! ion by the emperor, grand duke. The measures are unexpectedly moder-ate, and, while aiming at bringing Finland into harmony with the military and econbmic regime of the remainder of tho empire, the liberties of the peo-ple are left virtually intact. This ot moderation when the plans weru deemed all to belaid for the complete extinguishment of Finnish nationality is attributed to an impres-sion on the part of the czar, that it is better until the next war is over, to have the Finnish for loyal subjects than to create anotherPoland In such prox-imity to (iermany and Sweden. Per-sonally the czars have always placed deep convdenc in the Finos who have always been preferred for guards of tho emperor's jperson and have never betrayed the trust reposed in them. 11 is a singular fact that Russians never trust a Russian, and as Prince Bismarck related in a recent interview, w hen the physician of tho Kmperor Nicholas told him to have his back rubbed with lini-ment he would not permit auy Russian to do the delicate work, but called in some foreign officers in the imperial service. The Finnish guard has been the house of Romanoff what the Swiss guard was to the Bourbons. . THE STRIKE OF THE COKERS. Thousand Man to tha Coaa.ll. iSlxt..B , Till IMg-la- ar Mir. Feb. 10.

DISCimaED THE SILVER BII.T- - It will b. Raport.d to tha Bona thl. W. k from Commute.. Wasuisoton, Fob. 10. A meeting of about fitteen republican representatives was held at the house of Representative Townseud of Colorado last night to dis-cut- s the present phase of the senate sil-ver bill. While the extreme silver men were unwilling to accept anything that did not embody the free coinage idea, several more conservative measures were discussed, among them free coin age for the American product, and a plan uf campaign by which it is hoped to bring the House "to a vote upon the silver question was outlined, though not formally agreed upon. Representative Wilcox, of the house coinage committee, said to a reporter that the senate silver bill will be re-ported this week. There will be two reports, an adverse one, signed by Wiekcrsham, Comstock, Knapp, Tabor, Taylor, republicans, and Tracy, Wilcox and Vnnx, democrats. The favorable report will be signed by Carter and Bartine, republicans, and Bland and Williams, democrats. Tha Mmion to h. SnlH. Chicago, Feb. 10.

The fault is with the landlords as they are required to secure a permit for each renter, which they neglected to do. ON THE SEAL ISLANDS.

In a report made Oct. 20, Agent Laven-der says there were no sealing schoon-ers about the islands ami that the rook-eries would bo emptied for the season in two weeks. He appeals for arms and ammunition for the Indians to use in protecting the rookeries. He speaks of the necessity for issuing supplies of fuel to the natives, and pre-dicts that the islands will be depopu-lated in a few years unless the govern-ment aids the natives, as the few seal they will be able to kill will not keep them from suffering. He says the schooner will follow the sealMuto the Behring sea very early in the spring. Th. ch m. F II Tnroo.a. New Yohk, Feb. 10.

Taylor also reported favorably from the same committee a joint resolution prohibiting the manufacture, importa-tion, exportation, transportation and sale of alcoholic liquors as beverages in the United States and every place sub-ject to its jurisdiction. DICCINC FO TREASURES. Uuoting After a Xianl.h Don'. Snppo.ed Hurl.d Wealth. ALiirQCEKorE, N. M., Feb. 10. In 1801 there died in the little village of Barelns a suburb of the city, a wealthy Spanish named Antonio Sandoval, rep-uted to be of immense wealth, being the owner of large herds of shuep, cattle and horses. It was believed that hut few, if any, of the dons of New Mexico were his peers in wealth, and he was further noted for his eccentric and somewhat miserly character. On the death of Don Sandoval his heirs were disappointed in finding no money among his effects beyond a small deposit in a St. Louis bank, although he was known to have re-ceived large sums for salt s of sheep and other stock. The old Sandoval casa still stands in Barelns, near (he ancient church, and has been an object of great interest to a few of those who knew the old Spanish don and believed that he bad buried his treasure somewheie in its vicinity. Re-cently Charles W. Lewis and Al Oriego of this city, both of whom were, well ac-quainted with the facts stated above, succeeded in purchasing from the heirs of the dead don the old homestead and have also secured the right to dig up the earth on 140 acres of surrounding property to the depth of five feet in search of the buried money. Today a force of men wis put to work and will not stop nntil either tho treas-ure, believed to be several hundred thousand dollars, is unearthed, or the entire tract shall have been dug over.

M.B.A. representatives were present. The latter were informed that the re-publicans were unable to come to any conclusion in regard to the proposition involving the names of Streeter, Moore and Stclle. Chairman Fuller asked tho farmers whether they would be willing to en-tertain a counter proposition from the republicans suggesting certain repub-lican raadidates from whom tho F.M. B.A. would be invited to take a choice. "I will state to you frankly, gentle-men." said Cockrcll, "that I think it will be useless for your committeo to make any proposition of that kind to us. I feel satisfied we can never con-sistently support a regular stalwart republican for United States senator." The conference came to an end with-out any conclusion. The republicans then issued a call for a joint senatorial caucus this evening, at which tho ques-tion of formally accepting or rejecting the proposition of the farmers will come up for settlement.! When the lirst ballot was taken in joint assembly, it showed the F. M. B. A. men had dropped Streeter for John P. Stelle the editor of the Progressive Farmer of Mount Vernou. Three more ballots were taken and the democrats moved for a recess uutil 8 p. m. The motion failed to receive a majority of votes and the balloting was resumed. A Royal Vl.lt. Berlin, Feb. 20.
