The Storm at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb 9-As thorough blockade on
the railroads has not been experienced here for
years. No trains. passenger or freight, have
gone out to-day or tonight on the following
roads: The Grand Trunk, the Kankakee line.
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois the Baltimore &
Ohio, the Louisville, New Albany g. Chicago,
the Panhandle, the Michigan Central, the Chi
cago & Atl antic. the Wabash, and the Iowa di-
vision of the Illinois Central The roads have been
hiring every idle man who could be found dur
ing the day to go out on the lines to shovel
snow; the Burlington the Alton and the st.
Paul roads sent out 1000 men. Even under IA
vorable circumstances the managers OF the
roads say they cannot expect to get back to
schedule time before two or three days and If
the snow continues to drift it will be week or
more. The loss to the roads in business, and the
cost of clearing their tracks. will be something
enormous.
On some of the roads which have refused to
send out passenger trains, special efforts are
being made TO bring in stock trains, several
engines being used. The ST. Paul brought in
stock train of forty five cars this afternoon.
The telegraph wires are working heavily in every
direction At 1890 tonight the storm here has
ceased and the stars shining The snow is
still drifting badly. The mercury indicates
four degrees above zero.

Preparations for Sending 5000 Additional
Men to WolseleY's Assistance.

Men to Wolseley's Assistance.
LONDON, Feb. 9-Great activity prevails at
Chatham, Woolwich and Aldershot, and prepa-
rations for sending reinforcements to Egypt are
being rapidly pushed. The Twentieth Hussars,
of the Scots Fusileers, battalion of the Cold
stream Guards and squadron of the Fifth
Lancers have been ordered to proceed at once to
Suakim. Three battalions of guards and four
battalions of infantry, including two from Malta
and two from Gibraltar, have been ordered to
Egypt Two battalions of infantry and regi-
ment of cavalry have been ordered to proceed
from India to Egypt The nine battal-
ions of troops ordered from Eng
land, Malta, Gibraltar and India are
sent at the request of General Wolseley The
guards will leave England at the end of the
present week Two battaiions of English
infantry, at present in lower Egypt, will
proceed Immediately to the Soudan. 1t is
stated that all the forces comprised within
the nine battalions to be sent Lord Wolseley
will, after reaching Suakim operate between
Suakim and Beber, with the object of securing
possession of the route between those points,
and then effecting complete junction with the
British forces on the Nile, both above and below
Berber.
Three thousand reinforcements, at the urgent
demand of Lord Wolseley, have been ordered to
proceed as rapidly as possible to Egypt to open
the route between Suakim and Berber. A naval
demonstration in the Red sea, to cooperate with
the land movement, has been arranged, and the
despatch of several British men-ofwar to that
locality is imminent. The total number of rein
forcements already ordered to Egypt is 8OOO
The War Department has completed its prepara-
tious for transport commissarlat and ordnance
service, and vessels are already loading with
stores at Woolwich.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon states
that the Cabinet has decided that the defeat of
El Mahdi Unnecessary to vindicate England No
immediate advance upon Khartoum is considered
possible, or will be attempted, the Gazette says,
unless it is found there is good reason for believ-
ing that General Gorden is still holding out with
a handful of followers in the mission house in
Khartoum, where it is reported he had taken
refuge when the city fell into the Mahdis hands
In the absence of this, Lord Wolseley, it is said,
will probably continue to advance by the river
until he reaches Berber, wht re he will spend the
hot weather os the summer with his army and
wait for the September rise of the Nile before ad
vancing. Two months must, according to this
plan elapse before there can be any advance in
force from Suakim.
lt is reported the government has decided to
call out the reserves and also q portion of
the militia for garrison duty in place of the
troops now being forwarded to Egypt General

The Attitude OF the Sultan and the Position
of Wilfrid Blunt.
LONDON Feb 9.-The Pail Mall Gazette in an
editorial on the situation in the Soudan, SAYS:
England may not need military aid in the Sou
dan, but she needs camels, which the Turks
can only supply. The Sultan is anxious to
cooperate with England on the basis of the rec
ognition of his sovereignty over Egypt If the
government reject his offer they may have to
face the combined hostility Of Ell Mahdi and the
Caliph OF Islam."

England Must subdue the Mahdi.

CAIRO, Feb. 9-In an interview to-day the
Khedive said he believed General Gordon was
still alive as the Mahdi was too wise man to
kill him. The Mahdi had no interest in wishing
the death of General Gordon, but, on the con-
trary, would do all in his power to prevent such
an occurrence. Instant action on the part OF
England he said, is necessary to prevent the
further progress of the Mahdis cause and avert
new disasters. Abandonment of the Soudan by
England, under present circumstances, would
be grave mistake Tribes hitherto friendly to
Great Britain would now join the Mahdi, and if
England does not take immediate steps to crush
him, his influence may seriously threaten the
stability of the British Empire in India.

FRENCH FINANCES.
Financial Complications Caused by the Stu
alton of Affairs in Ervnt


alton of Affairs in Egypt.
PARIS, Feb. 9.-The fate of Khartoum is al
most as great shock to the Paris Bourse as to
London. Although the British disaster has no
direct effect upon France, nevertheless it puts
French bankers out of joint by upsetting the
elaborate arrangements for the financial settle
ment of Egypt, and by threatening to create a
serious Italian financial question. The French
bankers only made up their minds to act the day
they felt assured of the governments foreign
policy. So long as this policy remained uncer-
tain they held aloof. but the moment the French
programme was accepted all fear of conflict dis
appeared and they felt confidence enough to at
tempt business It's first effects hai already
been felt and values began to correspond to
rentes. Everything went up, especially Egypt
lans, and plans were already arranged and the
month of March was to have witnessed the
Matching OF Les Crosses Emissions. But the
fall OF Khartoum put a stop to everything
Bankers feel that the Mahdi's victory involves
the possible fall of Mr.. Gladstone. the indefinite
postponment of the settlement of Egyptian
finances, and all sorts of obstacles and uncer-
tainties. Bankers feel that italy, in spite of all
her efforts to the contrary. will be drawn into
the African war. owing to the expidition already
sent to Massowah, to the rise of Italians and the
ment out of the question.
The bankers are now paralyzed. and afraid to
do anything. Moreover, the affairs of France
are by no means encouraging. The defects in
the budget are not covered, and the Ministry
dare not attempt the measure. The industrial
crisis becomes more and more intense. Facto-
ries are obliged to close there being no demand
for goods. Strikes are everywhere prominent
account of general reduction of wages and
there constant fears of riots in Paris and
Lyons. Decidedly the French republici is enter
ing on a critical phase, and finance is its most
vulnerable point
A few facts tend to nentralize the prevailing
gloom. Since the rate of discount was lowered
money shows itself more readily. exchange is
more favorable, and discount is below per cent
The Bank of France has milliard in silver on
deposit. There has been no considerable fall
in rentes, the Al per cents. being above 109f
The general result of ali this is that the situa-
ton is teeming with difficulties and uncertainty
Everybody feels uneasy, fearing that something
worse is coming Surely this is not the moment
now to buy French paper Everything depends
upon the foreign policy of England and the atti-
tude of the London market.
