The Great Snow Blockade. Spocial Digpatch to The Bee. Cricaco, Febraary 14—10 p. m.— P At least & week of ottled weather will be necessary to get trains through on . | about many of the rosds in the far north- west. It s reported from St. Paul that in many places tho drifts aro as high as the telograph poles, and in not a few instances temporary poles had to be planted in the mow to carry wires over drifte. It is eaid that during_Fridsy and Satarday the blizzard was of such intendty that no object could be seen ten fee away, for the driving snow and wind was 80 fierce that it not only drifted the new-fallen snow, but licked up the old that had been packed upon the ground for weeks, hurlia it In fine and blinding particles through the air. The Huatings & Dakota rallroad has beeo tlockaded almost since the first of winter. At Mountain Lake, “%way between Sioux Oity and St. Paul, train has been snow- bound since Febroary L. They had been almost rescued, when Ssturday's storm came, and now there is no hope of getting them out for & week. The twenty-five passengers, among them Gen. Cook, sent a et of caustic reso- lations to the munagers of the Chicago, St. Paul & Omaba company, condemn- ing them for Imbecility, Incompetency and inhumsnity in not raising the blocksde. The reply of Supt. Winter was that the company had done its Dowh | best, and it was perhaps providential that the snow-bound train could not leave Mountain Lake, otherwise the present storm might have canght then in the open prairle, wheé relief could not reach them. Mavisox, Wis.,Febrasry 14—10 p. m.—Yesterday end to dsy were very pleasant, but much enow has fallen. The Milwaukee and St. Paul company has been unable to clear its tracks on the Watertown and Portage branch. A large foroe of men with snow plows expect od that trains will be ruuning to- dsy. Des Morxes, Towa, February 15—1 s. m.—The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is the ouly road on which a 1rain has reached here since last Fri- day. Thetrain on this road plowed through the suow yesterday morniog. The other truuk roads are making slow progress, as the snow can only be removed with shovels. One en- gine on the Fort Dodge rosd stands burled in a drift ten miles north of thia city, where it has been sinow Fri- day night. Ouiy the top of the smoke stack is visible. It will be several days before trains can move with mach precision. Travel on the high- ways is equally bad. Dusuque, Towa, February 16—1 a. m.—The railrords are being dug out of snow drifts as fast as possible. The river rosd is open its entire longth, and trains are runring. The Ilinois Central is open eastward, but we: ward it Is closed. The train stuck in drift st Epworth Friday night, and has not yet been rescued. Between that place and this clty are many deep cuts, all drifted full, which can be opened only by a force of shovelers. Genator Bruce's Successor. Special Dispatch to Tux Bas.

Fears of a third gorge | forming somewhere below Bushiille | aro entertained, and residents of the | lower valley are greatly excited.

Loxpox, Februsry 14—1a m.—A Vieona correspondent says, with re- gard to the fature of the Greek fron- tier question: It is clear that noth- ing will come of the approaching pro- ceedings in the Turkish capital, un- loss the great powers should find the new concessions and_proposals of the Porto acceptable. On this point the chief apprehension eutertained amoug diplomatis‘s arise from reservations made by the Englih cabinet, that new negotiations shall take place with- out prejudice to conference decisions. Explanations recently given by Sir Charles Dilke, are in some quarte construed to mean that the Britis government will reject any offers made by Tarkey which materially differ even though all otber powers should be willing to accept thewm.
