ROADS NOT CLEAR YET
Northern Pacific and Other Rail-
ways Trying to Open Up
Traffic.

ST. Paul. Mimi. March IS.-Neither Of
the transcontinental lines has yet sue
ceeded in clearing its road of the great
heaps of snow under which the tracks
We're buried by last weeks blizzard.
Advices received at the Northern Pa
cific offices in this city at 10 o'clock to-
night were to the effect that the snow
plows working east and west from Bis
marck and jamestown were in sight Of
each other, and that it now seemed
possible that trains would be again
running tonight.
The officials have met with so many
mishsps in their efforts to get a clear
track that they viii not make any def
mite statement as to the resumption of
traffic until trains are actually moving.
It was thought last night that the road
would be clear by this morning, but
the accidents to and derailment of the
gigantic rotary plows delayed the
work
The Great Northern officials also say
that they hope to have their trains
running before morning. but they make
no positive promises to that effect
The SOO-PacifC road, which also is a
sufferer from the effects of the storm.
is making a great effort to reopen traf-
fic. but has only partially succeeded.
No reports have been received as TO
the situation upon the Canadian Pa
cific line which was blocked for sew
eral hundred miles.
The loss of life and property caused
by the storm IS still largely a matter
of conjecture. But FIVE authenticated
cases Of loss of human life have so far
been reported. There are rumOrs that
there have been lives lost among the
new settlers, but these lack confirma-
ton.
Estimates Of the loss of livestock on
the ranges vary from > to 50 per cent.

Among the crew of the steamer
Heathburn were thirty-two Cinnamon.
When the flames began to run over
the vessel they all scampered to the
pier for safety and began to make their
way to the streets of Hoboken. There
was a large force Of customs officers
on hand guarding property. As soon as
these officials saw the frightened Chi

aliens would make an illegal entry into
