Bills were passed increasing to fifty dollars per month the pensions of the widowB of rear-admirald Wyman and WellB. Bills were reported from commit tees and placed on the calendar : By Mr. Crisp, from the committee on commerce, to authorize the con struction of a bridge across the Ten nessee river near Decatur. By Mr- Barry, of Mississippi, from the committee on pensions, granting pensions to the survivors ot the In dian wars between 1823 and 1842. By Mr. Peters, of Kansas, from the committee on postoffices (adversely) the resolution requesting the Post master-General to return to the ueb of the terra cotta colored two cent stamp. Ine regular Older being demanded, Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, from the committee on labor, called up the resolution assigning March 20th and 21st, April 18th and May 16th for tho consideration of labor bills. He Baid that the labor commit' ee had been allowed but seven minutes during the entire second ses sion of the preceding Congress and labor bills had been throttled. Mr. Brtimm, of Pennsylvania, in quired if it had not been the fault of tne so called steering committee. Mr. O Neiil replied that it had been the fault of the House. It had "side-tracked" the committee by re fusing to vote when an effort was made to get up its bills. Mr. Mills said that tho resolution ought to make exception for appro priation and revenue bills. Mr. U Neill replied that the cause of labor was as important as either of those matters. Mr. Holman also appealed to the gentlemen to provide that the order should net interfere with bills to secure publio lands to actual settlers. Mr. O'Neill, "If the gentleman will introduce these bills and refer them to the labor committee we will report them back in five minutes." (Laugh ter). He then refused to allow any interference with tho order. Mr. Cox, of New -York, could not say that the gentlemen who were anxi ous to secure action upon appropria tion and revenue bills had been dere- lect. i But here was a committee hav ing charge of the interests of all of our people. It was not fairly treated during the last session and was enti tled to at least four days now. It was not a question of the merits of the bill. He believed that the j principal work of this Congress had been for the South and the West and had not tended to help the people and laborers in the large cities. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, believed that the proposition contained in the resolution to allow each speaker on the bill bat fifteen minutes imposed too great a restriction. Mr. U Neul replied that if a man talked sense he could get more time it Ue wautea t. Mr. Mills moved that the resolution be referred to the committee on rales to report next Mondav. At Mr. Urosvenor s suggestion tne yeas and nays were ordered and the House by a vote of 182 to 85 refused to refer the resolution. Mr. O'Neill then moved the previ ous question, on which the ayes and noes were taken, resulting, ayes 202, nays 21. Mr. Rogers of Arkansas moved to leconsider the vote, and, the morning hour having expired, the resolution went over till next Tuesday. Mr. Holman, of Ind , from the com mittee on public lands called up for consideration the bill to secure to actual Bettiers the public lands adapt ed to agriculture. The bill having been read at length Mr. Holman yielded to the offering of amend ments which might be considered as pending. A large number of amend ments were submitted and hied with the clerk and in order that they might be printed the matter was al lowed to go over.- Mr. Taulbee, of Ken., asked leave to offer for reference the resolution for appointment of a commission of seven members to inquire into ine condition of the civil service in all de partments and branches of the gov ernment aid whether tne civu ser vice act has been at all times since its passage observed and carried out and what benencial results n any have ensued to the civil service of the provernment by reason of said act. Mr, (jtosvenor objected. ine House then atji.15 adjourned. BTeata CsafrtMleuU Democratic Com mittee neeuna;.

' Tare Days Record or a Storm. Cor. of the News and Observer. New Yobk, Monday, March 12. New York as a community possesses the reputation of being equal to all emergencies, and her potentiality has manifested itself in many forms dur ing a j corporate existence of more than a century, but no human institu tion is omnipotent, and she mut re sign hr claim to Bupremtcy on her maidn encounter with a blizzard. In the face of such a novelty New York is nonplussed. When her citizens were roused fiom slumber this morning by a pre sentation cf unusual circumstances in whicli humanity seemed to hold its breat h land the elements to display all their power, a strange spectacle mt their eyes on gazing from their win dows Upon its streets. The sun was obscured by dark clouds from which poured showers of snow and sleet, borne On the wings of a wind bo im petuous as to drive them into moun tainous1 billows along the streets, and Jet force them through crevices of ouscs which would scarce admit the passage of a sheet of paper. Every street was a sea of snow-waves vary ing in j depth from four to twenty feet. Every roof was sheathed, evry wind w capped and fantastically drapod in snow, while the large plate glass windows of stores were hung with a new and wonderful tpecies of 'portieres," haDging in fleecy folds, ligln: aqd at the same time thick. The manufacturers of tapestry might well envy such a combination of desirable qualities for their costly fabrics. Persons inhabiting the upper B o nes ci , loity edinces oeneia a stiii more remarkable scene. They had been accustomed to unconsciously classify the almost illimitable masses of brick and mortar stretching out as far as eye could follow up Mahattan Island and overflowing New Jersey and Long Island as one great city, yclept New York. Their daily expe rience taught them that the waters known as the Hudson and East rivers were trivial obstacles in the pa h of a force as mighty as that concentrated on this small isle, which, linked to one sister by a huge bru'ee. and hnrtTiH t- ntViAra Yxv 1-' i- 1 .iTJW-k-' I innumerable water-craft, ' palpitates and expands in majestic and unrivalled unity of being. Sud- denly this forest of buildings appear ed cloven into three parts. The sparkling waters, on whose bosom vessels and boats oi every descrip tion sported like fire-flies, were hush ed and dumb. Not a move ment could be perceived, not even a puff of steam or smoke discerned, not a sound heard, 6ave the shrieks of the gale and demoniac dance of the snow. On either side a wide, white avenue extended, separating New York from Brooklyn and Jersey City and holding on its frozen surface not the laintest evidence oi me, iuriumg a barrier more complete than ever the Rhine, the Seine and the (iaronne presented to Gaul s warriors of olden time. In fact, the situation recalled the first; line of Caesar's Commentaries, "Omiiis! Gallia," etc., which every school boy remembers And there beneath them sat the city mute and motionless under her red of ' snow. A modern rompen paralyzed into a stillness as profound as that which brooded for eighteen non tn ris over her ancient prototype. Meantime the tempest held high carnival, creating in its mad freaks scenes worthy to be transferred to canvass by the weird penod of a Gus- tave Dore. Towards noon, when a a venturous citizens sallied forth in niiest of information or articles of nrime necessity, tbev actually entered , , x , , upon a rougn-and-tumoie ngnt witn the eiemen's. in one instance a man was washed by the wind against a plate glass window, shivering the glasi and forcin? him into tne interior: a bov was crushed by an awning which the wind naa unloosed irom us ia tenincrs; the telephone and telegraph . . 1 1 . wires were coiled into thicaets oi net work, which octopus-like, entrapped unsuspecting passengers in their fatal embraces. Telegraph poles be came locomotive and wandered into houses. Persons turning street cor ners were dashed against each other, braising their limbs and losing their hats and their tempers. A teutatie was made by the Third Avenue Elevated Railroad to send a train from Harlem to New York at early dawn, the result of which was a collision, in which a large number of man were killed and others senously iniured. All the great railroad stations, for outward roads were at once reduced to inaction and their cars and buildings became temporary caravansaries for the shelter of myri- ads ot people wno could neither reacu , , , . , -U their homes nor anv other place of shelter. Along the streets, as night fall fame, long lines of vehicles, abandoned by their owners, could be seen standing among the snow-drifts; these belonged to grocers, milk deal ers. ooal merchants, beer venders, who had ventured out to serve their patrons, but finding it impossible to Eroceed had piloted orses to a protecting their stock of goods in Fate and the street their weary roof and left the hands of Arabs. They looked like skeletons in a desert. Wednisdat, March 14th. Today there is manifest improve ment in ; the condition of things. Snot -ploughs (box-like cars with wheels composed cf spokes in the shape of fan-blades which as; they revolve whirl the snow from the track) literally scour the city, sprinkling the earth as they travel with salt, which melts the snow remaining after the upper strata have been removed. This al lows the surface cars to move and though the service is very irregular and they must use four horses to each ear, people are greatly accommodated by tne effort. Lanes are dug out on the pavement, leaving a wall of snow on either side varying from four to fifteen feet in height, and along these pathways, men; women and children navigate with celeajty and glee; for New York is unaccustomed to immur ing itself even for tho space of one day. People are drawing little sleds upon which bags of coal and kind ling are placed, over and along the farrows and hillocks others fly around in dilapidated sleighs, and provision dealers show their wagons and their faces as of yore in front of dwellings. One inventive! genius, the proprie tor of an elegant hotel in Brooklyn, th St, George, having run short of coal, which was required by him to the amount of seven tons daily, con ceived the bright idea of bidding de fiance to all opposing forces and transporting fuel in a new way. He hired a big flat boat, piled hi coal on it and by means of ropss dragged it over snow hills triumphantly to his abode. A well-known merchant, Mr. Thomas O'Brien, of Brooklyn, find ing himself far . away from home on Monday, essayed to return on foot. He started from Forty -second street, New York, and after falling a', least forty times and nearly meeting death in a snow bankj from which he was pulled and cuffed into life by a police man, reached home in nine hours. Newspapers are being sold on the streets and they narrate blood-curdling stories of frozen bodies half con cealed in the snow, of little children found inanimate far from home, of wagons returning with their drivers sitting' upright, stark and cold on their seats with life totally extinct. In Elizabeth, New Jersey, a bevy of the Singer factory operators set out to return to their dwellings, and in a short time one man had his eyes frozen together and probably two thirds of the number perished by the way. Many fires nave occurred. On Forty-Becond street, New York, two hundred poor people were driven from their beds, at midnight, by flames originating in the teaement they inhabited. Rushing from their beds half clad in the snow, with little thinly clothed children caught up under their arms, these wretched per sons rushed straight into the arms of death for a combination of terror and suffering such as this was more than weak humanity could endure. Even the. bodies of those on their way to burial were arrested by the storm and the half -crazed relatives obliged to seek temporary refuge in adjoining houses. Other corpses had to be derroifcoj I In wnoAV arris and . ii T aa many reiamcu wnert, they naa aiea. i xne eieepie 01 church in Brooklyn was driven by tne iorce 01 tne Kaie iwu iboi uui ui line, and workmen are now pulling down the structure, in order to re store it to its proper position by building it over Thursday mobhihg, Marcn io. The work of excavating Pompeii continues. The Herald estimates the whole cost of this process to be $86,000, and warns the inhabitants to look out for a deluge when the Bnow melts. It also figures up New xork s financial loss as amounting to over $6,000,000. Jersey City will come in for about $2,000,000, as her factories, car build ings, shipping interests and ccaI in terests aro all large and will all sus tain great losses. Brooklyn, num bering seven hundred thousand in habitants, ;will be severely taxed. I judge the aggregate will run up to nearly $12,000,000. The sum total of human calamities will never be learned, because the storm extended over an area embrac ing many hundred thousand miles. It makes on shudder to think of how many hearts ceased to beat at once, on that dismal day, the 12th of March. Food and fuel will run up to high prices for a week and more. All we ask of our compatriots is to send on their commodities in this line, expe ditiously, and to place them on the market at rates wnicn win permit tne poor aa well as the rich, to acquire them. We venture the prediction that New xork wul not be unpre pared to meet a second blizzard. ANNOTATOB.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Berlin, March 17. Chaplain Koe- gel, at the close of his sermon at the Emperor's funeral today, prayed for the relatives of the dead monarch, and above all for Emperor Frederick, after which he repeated the Lord's Prayer. The bridge over which the funeral procession passed was taste fully and originally decorated. On either side were anchored five large barges, with high black masts bear ing large branches of pine on their summits and with enormous black sails with white borderp, on each of wLich was a large shield with the Imperial eagle encircled by a laurel wreath hoisted half mast high. In front of the arsenal were two pyramids strikingly adorned with flags, lances, clubs, cuirasses, can nons and cannon balls and weapons of all kinds, showing traces of . Ger many's victorious campaigns, freely mingled with holly, laurel and ever greens. At the guard house were erected pillars, on one of which was inbCjjiijeti in letters of gold: "He weutCole and by to doing grieved a world. His faithful people are in tears for hi:n. His grateful capital laments him." On the other Bide were the words: "To eternal peace has gone the creator of German unity, careful of tho world's peace even unto death " Facing the window of the palace from which the dead Emperor often gazed upon the people stanls a chapel surmounted by a cross of sil ver. In the gable of this building is a bronze relief of the last j udgment. In the central niche is a very beauti ful female mourning figure in bronze. fHE KAISER'S FUJI URAL. A TREMENDOUS OUTPOURING ON THE STREETS OF BERLIN. .The services in the cathedral began with a soft prelude on the organ, du ring which the mourners began Unas semble. Dr. Koegel read passages from the 19th psalm and verses 25 2 of ,1 he 11th chapter of John. The choir sang "I Know that my Redeem er Liveth." Passages were then read from psalm 91 and Timothy 4t chap ter, verses 7-8; the chaplain conclud ing witn the words, "Blessed are they who die in the Lord, now and ever more." The choir responded with the Words, "Yea, the Spirit saith they shall rest from their labors; their work, shall ' live after them." The prayer was then intoned, "What God doth is well done." j Prince Bismarck, and Gen. Von Moltke were not present at the ser vice in the cathedral, nor did they take part in the procession to the mausoleum. The cathedral presented a most sol emn . ana impresmve appear anc the cOurt'chambVrT&VaTtta'flfb ters took positions bfehind tabourets, bearing the empire's insignia. Gen. Von Pape, holding the imperial stan dard, then stationed himself at the head of the coffin, Count Lehndorff and Prince lladziwill, the late em peror's aid3 de camp, with drawn words, standing on eitner siae 01 , , . . , j him, and the adjutant general ana other aids standing together at the foot of the coffin. While the organ still played the royalties entered, rince William arriving at nooa. At a signal from the chief master of ceremonies the organ DroKe into welling tones and the service was begun. Prince William stood in the middle of the nave behind the impe rial standard. Alongside of him were the King of Saxony, King of Belgium and tho King of Iloumania. Close by stood the urana uuKe 01 Baden, Princes Albrecht and Henry and other princes of the royal house of Prussia, the Prince Imperial of Austria, the Prince Imperial of lvu s sia, the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas of Russia, the Prince of Wales, the Crown Prince of Italy, the Crown Prince of Denmark and the Crown Prince of Greece, all in the uniform of their respective countries. The Princess of Bavaria, the Grand Duke of Hesse and other notables and foreign representatives, including Gen. Billot, of France, and his suite, formed the next rows in the nave. The diplomatio pew was crowded. The scene in the cathedral was truly memorable when, amid the strains of the final chorus and the sharp rattle of volleys outside, twelve regimental commanders slowly and reverently raised the coffin from ita resting place, moving forward with it on their shoulders to the principal door. Before them walked a high court official. On each side of the coffin were ministers of state bearing on cushions the imperial crown and scepter and other insignia. Above the coflin waved the imperial stand ard, borne by (Jen. Von Pape. On each side of him walked an officer with drawn sword. The royalties as sumed positions in the cortege in due order. As the coffin reached the door the drummers of the military band out side beat a deafening tattoo. This was the signal for the troops to pre pare to march. While the procession was forming the bands played trop in's "Marche Funebre," the sounds of the tolling of the church bells mingling with the strains. The for mation of the cortege occupied some time, but was effected in an orderly manner in rigid accordance wifh the official programme. ; The ch picu- ous absence of the emperor, and Count Von Moltke, and Prince Bis marck was deeply regietted. This was the only prominent change in the arrangements. Jfhe procession was in every way worthy of the occasion The military display was magnificent, though somber. The entire escort, comprising the elite of the army, wore dark overcoats and mantles owing to the extreme cold. All the sur roundings of the funeral car were in vested with solemnity. In the morning the French Gen. Billott placed on the coffin a superb garland of roses, violets, . and came Has. Wreaths were also contributed by delegates from Moscow, Kieff, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other foreign cities. : i Dr. Mackenzie has received several threatening letters and the emperor has given orders that he be specially protected. It is feared the emperor wiU break down after the excitement attendant on the obsequies of his father and his own coronation. He has maintained good health since his return. Dr. Mackenzie has removed his rooms from the floor below that occupied by the emperor to One adjoining.
