Continued Storm.

The prediction that another edition
OF the great storm was approaching
is verified, and this morning it began
showing again at a fearful rate. The
heavy wind OF yesterday and last
night drifted the snow to such an ex-
tent that it is impossible for trains to
get through, and the snowfall OF to-
day renders the situation still worse.
The west bound train expected here
at 11::O yesterday morning is block
AIDED in Peko canyon with fifty pas
sengers aboard, and there seems to be
no probability OF getting the train
out soon, rs the snow drifts in as fast
as the force OF men a shovel it out.
When it was ascertained that the
train was stuck, the two engines and
two cabooses which were sidetracked
here waiting for the train to pass
started up to its relief but could not
get near it Mr.. Myrick, Superin-
tendent Of the Division, is on tho
other side OF the blockade and ran
down from Halleck with a light en-
CINE to attempt tho rescue OF tho
train, but the engine became stuck
in the anow and he had to walk back
to Hnlleck. He telegraphed to Carlin
for help, and at 1850 last night two
engines and a caboose with forty mon
left for the scene Of the blockade, but
on account Of the drifting snow il
was 3 o'clock this morning before
they reached here. Gathering up
what provisions could be obtained
the Grew proceeded on up the road,
but on account Of tho constant drift
ing OF the snow it seems impossible
to get TO the beleaRuered train with
its fifty passengers who have had
nothing to eat since yesterday morn
ing.
1t is said that the train Is almost
completely covered, tho snow last
night being banked up around tho
train in a solid mass about six feet
deep, and the only can by which
the passengers can BIO relieved is to
carry prov sioas to them on nov
shoes. Efforts will still be made TO
~rolievs the blockaded train, but no
further attempts /, run trains will DO
made until further orders, or until
the storm abates. The situation is
desperate, as ihere is no telling whom
the storm will cease, and until then
We are completely cut of from the
outside world.

TARIFF ARGUMENTS.

that he had not been successful in SO.
curing for the Republican party the
adherence OF the sugar planters OF
his state because leading Republicans
OF other states made speeches in favor
OF cutting down the sugar duties.
CIngressinan Peters, Of Kansas, also
spoke in behalf Of his sorghum-raising
constituents. He was opposed to
nny reduction In the tariff on sugar,
and no warned tho committee That
there was n feeling of unrest among
tho Kansas farmers hich might lead

NO one was injured. This accident
will entail q still further delay Of

A dispatch last night announced
hat the blockade in The Sierra Ne

this was contradicted this morning.
The cyclone snow pillow has reached
the scene Of the blockade and is said
to be doing good work. Hopes are
entertained that trains will be got
through today, though is is not GER
tain that this will be accomplished.
The passenger train which went
east yesterday morning is still at
Wells, as the accidents on the Salt
Lake division prevented it from going
through. The passengers from the
East, who were returning after fruit
lessly waiting at Reno several dnys
to get through the mountains, Fill
have an opportunity to admire the
natural beauties OF Wells, and it il
possible that trains will get through
