The proportion dying In hospitals is very low, the total loss to the active army In wounded and sick bealing a little over 50,000, of whom most half have still a chance of to the ranks. The other half l will be invalided or returned to Russia. to ;The killed in battle are estimatedand have numbered between 40,000 Many Persons Frozen to Death aa Re suit of Severe Weather. Not during the last six years has the equal of the present cold weather been experienced in the west and in many places no such low temperatures have been recorded since the establishment of the weather bureau. The cold wave extendi from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic. Freezing weather Is reported all I tlirough the south. In the north the mercury has registered all the way from zero to 45 degrees below zero, the latter mark being scored at Richland Center, Wis.

Several people have lost their lives, the majority of the fatalities being in the southbetween west, where the distances houses and towns are great. The loss of cattle on the ranges, particularly on those lying in the northern part of the tier of states, will be very heavy. 60,000. British Parliament Listens to Speech From the Throne.

EXCITING SCENE IN HOUSE. Through the parting of a brake chain on a Montavilla electric car, says a Portland, Ore., dlspstch. the motorman lost control of the car at a gravel switch with a dead end. He opened the car door and warned all the passengers to jump for their lives. Only two followed his advice, one a woman, who rolled down an embankment and was severely bruised; the other a man, who fell on the track behind the car and received severe cuts about the head. The passengers who remained in the car were unhurt, the car coming to an abrupt stop from striking the ties, at the end of the track. This is the same line on which one man was killed and thirty injured last week. BIG BLAZE IN LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. LIVES CAR WAS RUNNING AWAY. MOBILE.

Mr. Sullivan heaped upon Mr. Hearst a tirade of denunciation, while the latter by implication charged Mr. Sullivan with complicity In a murder, The affair grew out of the recent discussion of the freight rate question In the house, when Mr. Sullivan inquired of Mr. Lamar of Florida, who was favoring the Hearst bill, why Mr. Hearst did not defend his own bill, this being followed by a criticism of Mr. Sullivan In the New York American and Journal. Anticipated Trouble Failed to terlallze In Russia's Capital. The anticipated renewal of trouble among the workmen of St. Petersburg, Sunday, was not realized. Neither strikers nor students made the slightest attempt to demonstrate, and throughout the day the city presented a normal appearance. The emperors creation of a joint commission of masters and workmen, chosen by themselves, to investigate the causes of discontent among the laborers, has made an exceedingly good impression, being considered definite evidence of the governments purpose to compel some of the masters who have paid starvation wages to do Justice to their employees.

According to the latest gossip' at the war office In St. Petersburg, General Kuropatkln has charged General Srlppenberg, former commander ol the Second army, with insubordination in leaving his command without authority, but the story canont be traced to a responsible source, and perhaps represents simply a new version of the Incident.
