WASHINGTON. March 27.-The first signs
OF approaching spring and departing win
ter, which became apparent some weeks ago
in the budding of the trees and greenusss Of
the grass in the parks, has been displaced by
a clustering snowstorm, which struck tns
city early this morning. accompanied by a
strong northeast wind. The snow fell thick
and fast for awhile. but later In the day the
downfall became rain, which changed the
snow on the streets to slush and then car
ried 1t away. Some .: the snow remains
wherever it fell upon the grass or earth,
and things have had decidedly wintry
aspect all day. IL still rains tonight, with
occasional hurries Of snow. This is ex-
ceedingly late in the season for snow to fall
in Washington, and it is altogether an un-
usual occurrence.
STORM IN THE SOUTH.
The storm is believed TO be the one which
had its origin in the west two days ago, and
Is
since then. 1t will probably prevail on the
Atlantic coast tonight. The signal Office
bulletin showed two storms central this
morning, one in Indiana and the other off the
Carolina coast, with probability that the
bad weather will be still further increased
along the southern coast and cause gales
along the whole Atlantic border.
THE sSowsroRM GENERAL.
The snowstorm seems to be general in
the Middle states. Passengers on incoming
trains from the south report a heavy fall Of
snow in the Shenandoah valley and other
parts OF Virginia. All trains from the south
are delayed on account OF washouts.
