An Ice Gorge at Mouth of Chippewa

ST. Paul, Dec. 1.-The Pioneer-P Press
special from Eu Claire says: An ice
gorge formed at the mouth of the Chip
pewa, which caused the water to back
up rapidly. On the lowlands below
Durand, the rise was so rapid that many
families had to fee in their night robes
to places of safety and leave their all
behind them. The suffering among the
women and children was intense and
many are reported as having frozen feet
and limbs. Those who could, fed to
the railroad track. There they built
fire and tried to protect themselves from
the frosty winds until relief arrived.
An engine and coach sent out from
Durand gathered up about 40 or 80 Of
these unfortunate people, but so fast

USE DYNAMITE ON SNOW
Necessary to Clean Streets In
Snowbound Dakota Towns.
FUEL FAMINE Is THREATENED.

Ice Gorge Causes Serious Floods-Chip-
Flows Over a Large Tract of Country.
Suffering Among Women and Children
Intense-Stock Suffers Heavily.
ST. PAUL, Dec. News from the
great blizzard is very meager. So far
as learned, only five lives have been lost.
OF course nothing has yet been heard
from the remote districts beyond the
reach of the telegraph and it may be
another week before it can be positively
stated that there has not been more
serious loss of life. The streets of the
snowbound Dakota towns are being
cleared as rapidly as possible. The ex-
trenely cold weather has frozen the
snow until the immense drifts have
reached the proportions of gigantic ice
bergs, and dynimite is being used to
blast these out of the way, ordinary
picks and shovels being unable to make
any impression on them. Stock on tho
ranges has undoubtedly suffered heav-
lis and a fuel famine is threatened in
many of the smaller towns in the Dako-
tas. This is by no means trivial mat
ter, where the mercury is ranging from
Is to 30 degrees below zero. The rail
ways are beginning to get their trains
moving again. The Great Northern got
its first train into St. Paul from the
snowbound district this morning and
the Northern Pacific reports that it's line
is now open from Portland to St. Paul
Delayed westbound transcontinental
trains on this road which were being
held at Tower City and Fargo left those
points at clock last evening and the
eastbound trains held at Mandan are
moving. The Northern Pacific officials
do not anticipate any further trouble
and expect to have trains running on
schedule time soon.
Elmer Holte, age H. was frozen to
death in the terrible blizzard Of last
week. On Thanksgiving he and his
father started with a team from Ada,
Mimi, for the Poplar woods, Is miles
distant, to get a load Of wood. On re-
turning they lost their way in the blind
ing snow and started afoot to look for
shelter. They became separated, but
the elder Holte succeeded in finding a
farmhouse, after wandering about all
night. Searching parties started early
next morning to look for the boy, but it
was not until Saturday that he was
found frozen stiff. The father was also
badly frozen

BRYAN ON The RESULT.
Defeated Candidate Discusses
Status of Silver Question.
DOES NOT BELIEVE IT Is SETTLED.
Confident That Experience win Convince
Many Who Have Thus Far Resisted Ar
guments-Believes His Confidence Is
Confirmed by the History of Recent
Elections-Refers to Gold Democrats.

New YORK, Dec. lin the December
number of the North American Review
published today, Mr.. Bryan has an arti-
Gle, in which he discusses the result of
the election as affecting the status Of
the silver question. The issue on which
the election turned he describes as the
''greatest issue ever submitted to the
American people in time Of peace" The
declaration Of the Chicago convention
in favor of the free coinage of silver
forced upon the people of this country,
he says, a study Of the money question
in general, and within the last four
months more people have been stimuli
taneously engaged in it's consideration
than ever before in the history Of the
world. The result of this study, Mr..
Bryan declares to be Temporary defeat,
but permanent gain for the cause of BIZ
metallism." Mr.. Bryan regards it as
significant fact that the silver sentiment
was strongest where the question has
been longest considered, that is to say,
in the west and south. In Bryan's
opinion the cause of bimetallism made
more rapid progress than any cause ever
made in such q short time. He expresses
his assurance that the election can be
by no means regarded as conclusive
settlement of the question at issue.
The free coinage advocates are con-
vinced, he says, that they are laboring
in behalf of the people, not only here,
but throughout the world and according
to the writer, they propose to continue
their contest, confident that four more
years of experience will convince many
who have thus far resisted arguments.
This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says, is con-
firmed by the history Of recent elections.
Mr.. Greeley was defeated in 1872 and
yet Mr.. Tilden was elected in 1876. Mr..
Blaine was defeated in 1884, but MI.
Harrison was elected in 1883. The Re-
publican victory Of 1883 was followed by
the Democratic victory Of 1890 and the
election Of President Cleveland two years
later. Mr.. Bryan counsels the success
Republicans have been held to their
party this year by the pledge that it will
try to secure international bimetallism
In reference to the gold standard Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bryan feels assured they can
not do as much in 1900 as they have
done this year. They have declared
their affection for Democratic princi-
pies, while they spared no effort to Sc
cure the success Of the opposing ticket.
They cannot, he says, disguise them
selves again.
