and shows no signs of abatement. Street
cars have not been running either in St.
Paul or Minneapolis to-day, and trains on
all railways are three to six hours late.
While the storm seems to be general
throughout the country, it is most violent
in southern Dakota. Sioux Falls specials
say more snow has already fallen than
during the entire season of last winter.
The wind is blowing a heavy gale from the
north and snow is drifting very badly.
Trains ON nearly all of the roads are aban-
doned. The temperature is at zero and
falling. There is also strong electrical dis
turbances. Canton, Egan and other points
state the storm is no less severe there A
Canton special says the Milwaukee road is
lined with dead engines, and passenger
train with 100 persons on board is showed
in near Worthington. The occupants are
being fed from that village.

with moderate temperature, but the signal

west of Jefferson, and the Rock Island has
laid off its freights. Passenger trains for
the west are four hours behind time Little
snow has fallen here during the dav, but

blizzard like weather.
A COAL FAMINE WILL RESULT.
MNNEAPoLIs, Nov. H.-Reports from
various Dakota points indicate that there
is serious danger of fuel famine there, es-
pecially if the present storm produces a
permanent blockade. The railroads are
held responsible. Some of the smaller
streams in the territory are nothing but
gravel beds, and many wells have given
out so there is danger that stock will suffer
severely for water.
At st. Paul.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 18-The snow which
had been falling for fifty hours ceased early
this morning, and the weather has been
clear and pleasant to-day, with indications
of so continuing. The total snowfall was
thirteen and one-half inches. The street
cars in both this city and Minneapolis were
started late this afternoon. The only trains
on time to-day were those of the Northern
Pacific. All others were forty minutes to
four hours late. The trouble between here
and Chicago has been removed, and all
roads are running both through and local
trains. In Iowa the trouble continues. The
Minnesota & Northwestern did not send
out any through trains. because of impassa-
BILE drifts south of Lyle. but it has local
trains running. The Omaha has heavy
drifts between Worthington and Sioux
City division, but managed to get its trains
through. Trains for Kansas City and
Pierre, Dakota, left here tonight The
Duluth road has heavy drifts on its Still
