Telegram from distances of 200 miles lxsvu the same story to tell, namely, "It's the worst storm ever known here." Snow drifts in the business streets of the Metropolis are as deep as in the country districts. Grown persons have never saw the like. , Ambulance horses at different hospitals were completely worn out early In the night, aud calls in many cases could not be responded to. The East rivet, between New York and Brooklyn, was frozen bard, and niaoy people crossed on the ice. Business was susuvudej. All telegraph wires were down. Most of the people who got to business were unable to get home at night, and hotel accom modations were strained to their utmost.

I hasten to express my heartfelt sympathy with an assurance of continuance of our aithful friendship. N THE GREAT STRIKE. Frederick William Nicholas Charles, now Frederick III, is the eldest son of the late Emperor, and is in his 57th year, having been born at Potsdam on Octobei 18, 18.)0. He married Victoria Adelaide, princes royal of Great Brituin, on Jan uary 25, 1858, and they have seven chil dren, of whom Prince William, who ha figured so conspicuously during his fath er' illness, is the eldest, there being two younger sons and tour daughters. The new emperer has had a brilliant career, and is one of the strongest and most pop ular men in Germany. It seems like the veriest irony of fate that the imperial crown should descend to him only when Death stands ready with outstretched band to ulaclc it from Ids brow. Emoeror Frederick III drova to the station at Stn Remo, accompanied by Empress. Victoria to tu!e special train in waiting to convey him to Berlin. The largest crowd ever seen in San . Remo gathered to witaesahiadepaitnre. The new emperor was enthusiastically cheered by the crowd, and ho repeatedly bowed nis acknowledgments ot their greetings. Emperor Frederick entered tho t nil way car without assistance, and then turned and assisted Empress Victoria to enter. The municipal authorities and a number of civillian were on the platform. EJng Humbert traveled from Home to San Pier d'Arena to meet Emoeror Frederick. When the train reached the station, King Humbert entered the coach occupied by the emperor and embraced him. The scene at their meeting was a touching ane. The emperor wss voiceless owing to bis disease, but Ke wrote many notes, in one of which he thanked the Italian parliament for the honor and respect it bad paid bis father and himself. TL. Empress Victoria translated to King Humbert the sign made by the emperor and conversed with the king in French. The emperor wss suffering from fstigue, but otherwise waa in hia normal condi tion. His throat was closely muffled, and he wore a hooded cap and heavy surtout. The silent parting between the two rulers waa affecting. ' Account concerning the meeting between Emperor Frederick and King Humbert at S in Pier d'Arena rep resent King Humbert a being stricken by the ghastiy aspect of the emperor. After tie departure of the imperial train, King Humlwrt covered his face with hia handkerchief, and said se eral times: He is III, ah, very ill." All the membets ot the ministry left Berlin by special train to meet Em peror Frederick as he returned from San Itcmo. Ihe special train conveying the npcror and empress arrived at Munich. Their majesties met with sympathetic reception at the station. The train ar rived at tho West End station, near Char lottenburg, at midnight. Close to the rail tcnt-hapcd pavilion, hung with black cloth, had been erected, through which his majesty, on alighting from the train, psssed direct to his carriage, which ronvcyed him to the Cbarluttenburg whloss. The camsgrs on their way to Uie castle were preceded by a detachment sf the grant cor;.. A company of the Second regiment of the guatds marched into Charlotlcnburg, to mount guard at various points. I The funeral service were held over the remain of Emperor William in the mor tuary chamber in the palace. The cham ber was profusclv decorated with flowers. The Dowager Empress Augttnta, the grand duke and grand ducheasof Badcb, the crown prince and the crows princes of Sweden, and other royal personage attended the ervicc. The Wly of the emperor lay in (lie nine poaitlo'i which the monarch occupied when he expired. A crucifix lay ou his breast and an ivoty cross was in hi right hand. Chaplain YorgoL his sermon, alluded to the moment when the Empress August held the hand of her dying consort. After the service, the late emperor's aido-de-camp. Mcutonatit-General Von Lehndorff and Lleutcnant-General Von Waldersee.ncted as guard of honor at the dead monarch's couch. The dead ciiipenit'a bodv was removed to the cathedral at ft In! e hour, after Emperor Frederick had viewed it. The dead emperor' will direct that he be buried in full uniform with all Lis decoration upon him. At the autojwy the physician discovered distinct trace of salctitus.

En gineers at every point visited are firm; so are the railroad officials.. At the far ther western points the men who are out seem to be more determined and more radical than the men East This -is especially true at Kansas City. Meet ings are held there daily, and the chair men of the grievance committees of other roads speak at the meetings, and with out exception, express themselves ready to abandon their engines if necessary. As regards the Brotherhood, the situation as expressed by Chief Arthur is this: If tney lose ttie tigut tuey nave inaugumteu against the' Burtingtou system it means death to their organization. The Broth erhood command f 100,000 to $500,000, aud the chief claims that by assessments aa much more can be raised. Therefore tho men are in a fighting position, and yet H a break: comes in tne ranks tlie or der will retrograde aud become such an one as that now orgnnized by the con ductots an insurance company. A a rule, the conductors are keepiug out of tuehgnt. loose of the Chicago and Northwestern are the only ones who are openly in svmpatbv witu the engineers. The Brotherhood, of.Brakemen have a grievance against the engineers, resulting Irora differences wtiitU occurred in VSiii and 1677. Yet, as far as could be learned, there is not a brotherhood brakeman who i willing to act as pilot to non-union en gineers. Grand Master Wilkinson, of thebrakemcu, is visiting at this time ill point on the Burlington sys tem pledging the support ot his men. All of the switch engines of the Union Pacific doing work in the Council Uluaa, Iowa, vurds, were quietly taken to the round-house v the engineer in ctmrce, When asked their reasona for quitting work. thcT replied they were sick and tired of work. It is understood they gave these reasons on account of Judge Dun Jy's decision, but it was very noticeable how sudden an engineer became sick or tired when he saw a "Q" car coupled up behind hia engine. All passengers and dnmmv trains are running as usual. Every icritch engine in the employ of the Union Pacific Railroad had its fire drawn and atood silently in the round-house. No freight left the city all night, Ordi narily from eight to fourteen freight trains depart irom tnereaauy. i ne sud den "sickness" which dcv&topcd amone the engineers recently at the eight of the DlullUK(ou -vara, wuiiuunt tw lumu when the night crew came on and found a 'U ' car on nearly every side track. Eighteen engineers were sick, and only four or tne seventeen yam engine were ttwork. THE EMPEROR'S BURIAL. The official programme for the funeral of the late Emperor William of Ger many, was as follows: On the 9th, at 1 1 a. m.. the bells of churches begsn tolling. The officer started, and all functionaries charged with tpecial outie took their prescribed .position wind the coffin. In accordance with Emperor William' last wishes, the service at the cathedral were conducted by Dr, Koegle, who was assUfted by the cathedral clergy. While prayer were being pronounced over the remain, the infantry outside the cathe dral fired three volleys. . The coffin waa released from the die by twelve senior colonels who bore it to the. funeral car' riftge. The ptocession through the ca thedral waa led by tourt viuimueriain. Count Von gtollierg-Wernlgerod. 'Start inir amid the tolling bell, the procession ctuaaed the castle bridge, passed through Under den Linten to Bradcnburg gate. At Sicgi-sclle, member of the ituiierial family entered carriage and proceeded to tbsrlottenburg mausoleum. There re galia was withdrawn from the procession, and sent liack to the treasury. The can npy over the c!fin was lifted off. Eight lieutenant assumed charge of the horse, sud four captains took the place of the Knight of the Black Eagle u pall bearers. VIRGINIA MORMONS.
