LAKE REGIONS VISITED.
Trains Delayed, Street Cars Blocked
and Business Generally Interfered
With-Storm in the south.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S-Local traffic was
blocked in parts of the city by the snow
storm which started last night and trains
were delayed. The weather bureau an
nounced to-day that the snowfall was the
greatest since the winter of 1898, averaging

storm before tomorrow. The greatest
snowfall, according TO the weather map. is
in Illinois, Missouri. Kansas. southern

Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin. Rail-
roads running through these States re-
ported trains from an hour to five hours

was reported five hours late at Galesburg
and making progress only with the aid of
snowplows. All the roads sent out their
plows during the night. Chicago traffic
was carried on with the greatest difficulty.
the streets being blocked by great drifts
of snow. mile of cable cars were tied up
on the North Side line for hours, and in
other portions of the city the snow block
ade was so effective that many people were
compelled to wade through the snow to
their places of business.
Reports received at the various railroad
offices this afternoon show that the storm
continues with undated fury throughout
the West and South. The snow in many
places in Illinois is reported from one to
two feet deep on the level and has COM
PEELED the abandonment of many local
freight trains. Passenger trains have been
double-headed and are moving, though
In most cases considerably behind schedule
time. High winds accompanying the storm
have completely blocked the harbor of Chi
cago and not a steamer has attempted to
leave here to-day.
Reports received from various cities in
Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana ind-
cate that the storm is general down the
Mississippi valley, although the snow line
does not extend very far south of ST. Louis.
Mo- Heavy sleet storms are reported south
OF st. Louis and Centralia, ILL.,, with much
damage to telegraph and telephone wires,
reported from points in northern Missis-
sippi as far south Independence.
Along the southern arm of the storm
that is below Memphis-occurred heavy
rains and high winds and in some cases
sleet. The area of heaviest rains extended
from Meridian. Miss, to the gulf coast.
Telegraph communication was interfered
with to a considerable extent. The storm
developed considerable energy over Ala
bama, southern Georgia and eastern Flor
ida. Although there is some apprehension
for the safety of shipping. no damage has
yet been reported. New Orleans, Atlanta
birmingham, Montgomery, Pensacola and
other cities report high winds and heavy
rains but no serious damage.

BERLIN, Feb. 2S.-General Cronje's sur
render continues to interest the German
press. Nearly all the papers to-day admit
the Importance of the event. The official
horde Duetsche Alegemeine Zeitung, dis
cussing the situation, says: Its impor-
lance lies less in the number of the cap
tured than in the revivifying of the spirit
of initiative among the British generals.
The biggest military INJURY which it has
done, so far as the Beers are concerned, is
that hereafter and everywhere in the seats
of war the British will dictate the law to
the Beers. 1t is impossible to estimate be-
forehand the degree of depression among
the Beers; but undoubtedly the depression
is intense, and especially among the Cape
Beers. Thus far the reports do not tell
whether the Boer losses, previous TO the
surrender, were large. If they were, then
the total INJURY is still greater"
