OportO.
OPoRTo, March 22.-The bodies of sixty
six victims of the theater fire were exposed
for Identification to-day. Many heartrending
scenes were witnessed. Beside the bodies
there are also fifty three heaps of unrecog-
nizable remains. Several projects have been
organized for the relief of the families Of the
poorer victims. The chamber of deputies at
Lisbon to day decided to send telegram of
coincidence to the municipal authorities of
Oporto. The chamber then adjourned as a
mark of respect for the memory of the vic
Tins. 1t is reported that some Americans
and Englishmen were burned. Electric
lights have been provided to enable the
searchers to work without interruption. The
fire originated from the blowing off Of an un-
protected gas jet against the scenery. The
scene shifter saw the fire and rushed to
lower the curtain, but before he could reach
it the burning scenery fell on the stage.
There was a panic Immediately. In the
cheaper parts of the house the attendance
was principally of the rougher classes, in
Guiding many sailors and dock men who
fought their way out of the building, cutting
right and left with their knives. Girls, chill
dren and women were literally butchered.
The house was crowded, an attractive bsne-
fit programme being presented. All the
actresses wore the finest jewels for the grand
procession. Their clothes which they had
left in their dressing rooms were totally de-
stroyed. The company was composed of
Spaniards and was playing ola Gran Via"
popular piece depicting national customs
which had run five hundred nights in Mad
rid. The principal actress saved herself by
jumping from a window. The other mem
bers of the company found an easy exit to
the street. The burned theater, which was
formerly circus, was constructed of wood.
The authorities are blamed because archi-
tects had condemned the building.

worst billiards of the winter set in last night
at an early hour and lasted until morning.
Considerable snow fell, strong accompany
ing gale drifting badly SO the railroads were
greatly hampered. The Duluth, South Shore
and Atlantic has not succeeded in getting
any trains through day on its line between
this place and Point st. Ignace and has had
trouble on the western end of the line. The

ter as the cold was intense. The temperature
ranged between seven and ten degrees below

ONE OF THE WORST OF THE XEAE


. Raging an the Northwest.
ST. PAUL, March 22-The storm which
ragged Tuesday night and until this morning
through portions of Dakota, Minnesota and
northern Wisconsin was one of the severest
that has been experienced in the Northwest
this winter. Tt consisted of a cold wave of
unusual severity, accompanied oy a heavy
and cutting wind and in many places by
binding snow storms. In Minnesota, north
of Croekston, and in northeastern Dakota
most of the roads are badly blOekaded. The
Duluth and Manitoba, the Little Falls and Da-
kota and the jamestown branches of the
Northern Pacific are most affected, while all
the Manitoba lines in the Red river valley,
were more or less troubled. On the James
town and Northwestern there was a
cessation Of business. On the Has
lengo and Omaha, Minneapolis and
worst storm of the season was
experienced. Wherever there was any new
snow it was bGdly drifted and the railroad
tracks in numerous instances were covered to
depth of nine feet. The Wisconsin Central
train due here at o'clock this morning is
reported indefinitely late. An Omaha train
for Chicago which left st. Paul yesterday at
3 pm. only managed to get as far as Elroy.
Trains on the Hastings and Dakota
are abandoned, as are also those of
the Fergus Falls and Breckenridge
trains A very bad blockade is reported
on the Elms branch of the Chicago and
Northwestern and several trains are snow
bound. A special from Owattena, MINI.
says: Trains were sent out by the railroad
yesterday with provisions to the passengers
snowbound between Havana and Clairemont.
They got to Havana last night and could not
proceed further on account of the storm.
They reached the passengers early this morn
ing. A load of fuel was sent out last night
from Havana. Three Snow plows brought
