NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The fury of the
storms which began Thursday and
which swept the railroads of Northern
aud Eastern New York with snow, was
not spent until Saturday afternoon,
but the railroads. up to that time
completely at their mercy, began a
vigorous fight against the drifts, which
ended in complete victory. Unless
more snow falls to-day, the blockade of
New York by snow may be said to have
ended. The New York Central & Hud-
son River railroad, as soon as the snow
had ceased falling and the wind had
stopped blowing Saturday afternoon,
ordered out body of men to clear the
tracks and soon the road between New
York and Albany was literally lined
with men, while the huge snow plows
went plunging through drifts in some
places higher than the caves of the cars.
Passengers who arrived Saturday
night by the ''Vestibule Limited
from Ceicago-and they did finally ar
rive at the Grand Central station,
though they were five hours late-tele-
graphic and thrilling stories of the ap-
pearance of the tracks between Albany
and this city. Some places they said it
was like passing through a MARBLE
lined tunnel, the snow being piled so
high that the view out of the car vim
dowS was entirely obstrueted. In the
superintendent'S Office it was ascer-
tanned yesterday that freights would be
running through upon schedule time to-
day.

DOINGS OF THE RAILROADS.
BURLINGTON & NORTHERN.
The Opening OF the $500" Road
Causes a Serious Cut in Rates.


Causes a Serious Cut in Rates.
1t seems now as though nothing could
prevent a general cutting of rates be-
tween st. Paul and the East. AS soon
as the 500 road got through the Burling-
ton q Northern reduced the rates on
flour and grain to New York by making
rate OF ~ cents less than tariff. Be-
sides this 1t has now come out that this
road followed up that action with a cut
III the regular class rates from st. Paul
or Minneapolis to Chicago of about 20
per cent all around. 1t is stated that it
has reduced the rate on first-class from
80 cents per 100 pounds to 40 cents and
made corresponding reductions in the in
termediate classes. 1t was asserted yes
terday in st. Paul that a represent
ative of the Burlington 81 Northern had
made an offer of these rates to some, if
rot all, heavy shippers. 1t is quite
probable that this action is what caused
the determination of the Milwaukee q
st. Paul to withdraw from the aSSOcia-
ton. The Burlington g. NortLern's
action has been caused, as it claims, by
the competition of the 500 road,
which started in with general cut.
The Minnesota & Northwestern and
Milwaukee & st. Paul roads are
AS MUCH INTERESTED
in the competition by the 500 road as is
the Burlington & Northern, and, in
order to be able to hold their own and
meet outside competition at even terms,
are compelled to get out of the associa-
ton. The Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy, in withdrawing it's pledge
to hold the Burlington & Northern to
agreed rates, undoubtedly knew that
its action would cause a disturbance
with the roads between st. Paul and
Chicago. Up to this time it has held
the Burlington 81 Northern in check be-
cause it was not quite prepared for a
serious conflict with the roads up here
1t appears now that the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy is at last prepared for
the great struggle and therefore has de-
termined to let go of the Burlington &
Northern and take the consequences.
The opinion is gaining ground that the
Burlington & Quincy has lost good
deal of business and revenue by its con-
servative course heretofore, and that it
has determined to pursue a different
course and adopt more aggressive
policy. The st. Paul & Kansas City
road, formerly the Minnesota q
Northwestern, claimed yesterday
that it did not know of any
cut having been made. and
Mr.. Hanley,. in reply to a question,
said that the st. Paul & Kansas City
road, as soon as it knew of a cut rate,
would meet it. There is no doubt that
all the other roads will do the same, and
this will constitute very serious rate
war.

A CLEAR CASE.

The recent arrest of boy of twelve
at public school in Maine, who was so
drunk that he had to be carried away
by the police, is another argument in
support of the proposition that prohibit
tion doesn't prohibit. If, after fifty
years of prohibitory laws, with scarcely
an intervening session of the state legis-
lature that has not sought to extend and
fortify the laws to make them more
perfect, the state of Maine cannot keep
drunkenness out of the public schools, the
