In THE SNOW.
Eight Hundred Railroad Men Without
Food or Shelter, Showed up!

CHICAGO, Nov 21.-A special despatch from
st. Paul says that gloomy news may be antici-
pated from Minnesota. As the tracl1-layers on
the extension of the Winona & st Paul rail-
road were approaching the Western State line
terrible storm last Thursday night enveloped
them and cut them off from communication
with civilization. The working force plumbers
over 500 men, and SO sanguine were their anti
cipations that favorable weather would outlast
November that no preparations were made to
avoid calamity which, as it is feared has be-
fallen them. There was only limited supply
of provisions kept in store, although hundred
miles distant from the telegraph and construc-
ton trains, they maintained a regular COM
muncaton with 'Sleeping Eye" the nearest
white settlement. When the intelligence of
the storm reached Winona, J. Fl. Stuart, gene
raj superintendent, started out with two loco
motives and train of cars, but so heavy and
deep was the snow drifts and 50 intense the
cold that up to Saturday morning they had not
passed New Ulmer. At that place two addi-
tonal locomotives were attached to the train,
and then taking on board rations for thirty
days and $50 men, besides material with which
to fit up boarding accommodations in the cars :.
When the train was again started O passage
way had to be forced through drifts eight and
ten feet deep, and even where the snow did not
exceed one foot in depth so hard was it packed
that recourse was had to shovels before any
advance could be made. On Sunday the train
had penetrated rs miles, Meanwhile the storm
ragged with violence unprecedented, and when
asst heard from, Tuesday night, the relief train
was stuck fast in the accommodating snow forty
miles west of Sleeping Eye and eighty miles
short of the suffering trackmen. Yesterday
morning the telegraph wires were down west
of ST. Peter, and the latest reports from Vino
ma in the afternoon state that the wind had in
creased to furiou. gale. For six days the
storm has continued with undated fury. A
painful impression is created that the men at
the end of the track will starve before relief
a n ,lids trr,nrz n, he
accessible, for the line is being constructed in
advance OF the government surveys far into a
country uninhabted save by few adventur-
GUS squatters and sickly Indians.

LONDON, Nov. Gill A. MA despatch has
been received from New York announcing a re-
port current there of the resignation of nj.
Theirs, and other changes in the government in
France. The report is false and without a
shadow of foundation. Up to this hour ,ot
even rumor of the resignation of the French
President has been current. The Associated
press dispatches have given full history of
the course of events in France, NJ. Thiers has
called for another and stronger vote of conf
dence from the Assembly and has threatened
to resign unless it is accorded Various rumors
as to his successor in the event of his resigna-
ton have been given as such from time to

that the party of the Right would propose a
triumvirate should the President and his Min
