in the Northwest.
81. PAUL, Mimi, March a1.-After
reigning with terrific fury for thirty
hours the blizzard passed to the north
east, leaving in its wake intense cold,
the mercury yesterday morning being
10 below and at o o'clock being be-
low AS the full details of the storm
are received it grows in intensity
and fears are expressed that there may
be great loss of life. This. however,
Will not be SO great as would have oc-
CURED had the storm commenced in
the day time when more people were
out Still, many were out and their
friends are anxiously awaiting news
from them. The temperature icing
mild at the beginning of the storm and
number of cases being reported
where people started for homes ia the
country when the storm was still
raging. If they were lost, which is
more than probable, the following in
tense cold would prove fatal. On ac-
count of the condition of the wires aud
the drift covered country roads, the
full details of the loss of life villa be
slow in coming in. bait that there have
been serious results of the storm is I'M
doubtedly true.
Damage to property from the sever
ity of the gale is reported very great at
Fargo. Crookston and other places
Crookston's buildings suffered severely
from the breaking OF plate glass, as
we'll as being nearly blown down by
the force of the storm aud
many small buildings were demolished.
Many buildings at Fergus Falls
were unroofed and others damaged.
Glendale, N. D.. reports county build

neighborhood have been compelled to
postpone seeding wheat which was
under way. Similar reports of damage
to buildings are coming in from all
over Minnesota and the Dakotas, while

ANOTHER CLOUD.

The BehrfnR Sea Dispute Leads to ctIvity
In the Navy Observation-Disclosures May He
Sent to tho Troubled Waters-English
Press Opinion.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Gen. Fos-
ter, of the state department, who is
assisting the president in the Behring
sea fisheries negotiations had a long
conference at the navy department with
Secretary Tracy and Com. Ramsey,
chief of the bureau of navigation. The
conference. it is thought related to the
consideration of the course to be pur-
sued by the navy in enforcing the con-
tention of this government that the
Pelagic sealing in Behring sea should
be wholly suspended pending the set
Element by arbitration of the con-
troversy between the United States
and Great Britain.
If Great Britain declines the presi-
dents proposition for renewal of the
modus vivendi this government no
doubt will send the availabl vessels at
its command to Behring see soon
enough, If possible, to control its APP
proaches and prevent the entrance of
all sealing vessels, American as well as
others.
The naval vessels that can be used
for this service are the Charleston.
Baltimore and Ranger at San Fran
cisco; the Mohican, now on her way to
Port Orchard, Wash, with the Nipsic
in tow, and the Yorktown and Balti-
more, now en- route to San Francisco
from Callao. The revenue cutters
Bear, Rush and Corwin, now fitting
out at San Francisco for their annual
cruise to the seal islands, will also as
sist in the work of policing the re-
strcted waters.
Dilligent inquiry at the varioustexec-
utive departments dealing with the
question ELECTS the information that
the president will take no further ac-
ton in regard to the Behring sea matter
until he shall have received a reply
from Lord Salisbury to Mr.: Wharton's
note Of the Sth instant insisting on a
renewal of the modus vivendi of last
year as an essential condition to the
settlement of the controversy by arbi-
tratiou.
ACTIVITY AT MARE ISLAND.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-The an
| ticipated activity in Behring sea this
summer has caused some little stir at
Mare Island. The Adams and Ranger
| are being made ready for duty as
rapidly as possible; men are being
worked upon the Ranger overtime. The
Albatross, which was prepared to
make another sounding Tor the pro-
posed Hawaiian cable, has been OF
dered to cease work in that direction.
1T is supposed that the ship is intended
for duty in northern waters The
cruisers Charleston and Baltimore are
still at Mare island in readiness for
service.
LONDON. March 1.-THE St James
Gazette Conservative accuses the
Washington government of exaggera-
| ting the difficulty of arriving 1T a mo-
dus viyendi with Great Britain. The
paper suggests that each side go seal
! ing, as usual, keeping an account of
its catch. the party found by the arbi-
traitors to be in the wrong afterward
paying compensation.

EDITOR ARGUS -
The letter OF " Veteran Rapub-
lican " IN the last ARGus has the
right ring to it. The Journal is
always willing TO sing tbc praise Of
the old veterans whom they are cx.
pcctod to vote tho straight ticket
and ask no question. Ii never
tires in telling what the Republican
parry has done for the old soldier,
but we have not forgotten that it
was Bill Dawson who iusultcd us by
cnlling us "paurors" " once upon =
time when Master Bill thought the
old soldiers were not true to his
boss,ship. As long as we done the
bidding of the JoVraai we were all
right but when we asserted our
rights and asked for what we were
entitled to, Mastcr Bill generally set
down ON It's and would say that the
old soldiers wan;yd everything.
But he lived to regret his opposition
to us and was compelled TO sell his
paper, which has fallen INTO the
hands Of men whom we expected
to receive justice from. But how is
lit? We are shut out and CAN'T say
one word through the columns Of

us to ask, is the Jourual the organ
Of the Republican party Of Preston

Of few men who have undertaken
to ran the Republican party for
their own special benefit: The Old

been done so far as | know, and
which is almost impossible to do.
That part Of the law to apply to-
this county should mean every term

The schools of this county are all
doing well. The teachers, so far as
my personal knowledge goes, are
doing practical and thorough
work, and aside from district insti-
tutes arc manifesting deep interest
in school work. The standard Of
education in Preston is high, and
last fall boys and girls who were
not competent were not granted
certificates.
