fourth of the number claimed. Tribune.
THE entire number of immigrants
that landed at Castle Garden last year
was 81 ,034. This is an increase of
70,7S5 over the previous year, and it
includes an unusual number of Poles
and Russians. 1t is, however, to be
borne in mind that constant effort is
made abroad to ship off the most
worthless part of society, and the sue
cess of this effort may be seen by the
fact that two-thirds of the inmates of
the New York alms-house are of foreign
birth. The exact figures are as fol-
lows: Total number, 9,209, of whom
2,944 are natives and 1866 are foreign
ers. This immense mass of pauperism
includes the insane, whose number is

The Awful Blizzard.

The latest accounts figure the loss of
life by the recent blizzard in the North
west to an appalling number. Judge
Kinney of the Sioux Indian agency is
responsible for the statement that the
reports made at Yankton show loss of
one thousand lives in Dakota alone.
This seems almost incredible, though
reliable reports previously received at
st. Paul made the number of lives lost
fully three hundred, with the prob
ability that it was much greater. In
deed, it is reported that the local au-
thorities in many places have sup
pressed the news of fatalities from the
blizzard for fear that immigration will
be seriously checked. Judge Kinney
also says the loss of life in Dakota has
been greatly underestimate, as the
Dakota papers have tried to cover it
up. Terrible tales have come of suf-
fering and death-of men, women and
children perishing, sometimes within
sight of their homes-and of RAILWAYS
being blocked by the drifting snow or
abandoned altogether. The awful re-
ality can hardly be appreciated by those
who have never felt the force of the
blizzard. A graphic account of the
late blizzard in Dakota says that it
came without warning. AT sunrise on
the fateful day the air was clear as
crystal; the wind was from the south.
warm and balmy, and before the sun
was high decided thaw had set in.
Farmers took advantage of the beau
tiful weather to 60 to town, to draw
wood, hay, etc. About noon a cloud
was seen along the northwestern hor-
lion lying close to the ground, but
stretching from the west to the north
in dark semi-circle. Little attention
was paid to it, but in an hour the cloud
had swept over the country, the sun
was obscured, the snow was falling
fast and a gale was sweeping from
the northwest with terrible fury. The
blizzard had begun. The mercury fell
rapidly and by five O'Clock it was fif-
teen degrees below zero, and the next
morning it registered thirty degrees
below. All the while the wind in
creased in fury, the snow fell thicker,
and the large amount of snow that was
already on the ground was blown into
powder and hurled along by the wind.
On the prairie an object forty feet
distant could not be seen. A mans
voice could not be heard six feet
distant. The air was full of snow as
fine as flour and the roaring of the
wind and the darkness caused by so
much snow in the air made the scene
the most dismal, dreary and forsaken
that man ever looked upon. Nothing
like the severity of the recent storm
has been experienced before since 1873,
when seventy persons were frozen to
death in the same district, though it
was then occupied by less than one
fifth of its present population.
