SNOW Is
FEET DEEP
Worst Snow Blockade Of the
Winter.
TRAINS TIED UP a DAYS
RecOrd.Breaking Blockade along
the Line of the Northern
Pacific.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 29.-The
Northern Pacific expects soon to reach
St Paul with the first of the delayed
transcontinental trains. These will be
the first trains from Portland, Ore, fol
four days.
The blockade, which has existed for
four days in North Dakota and Mon
tana, was lifted early when a message
saying that the line had been cleared
was received in st. Paul. Subsequent
ly other messages were received from
points along the line in the storm dis
trict saying that trains would be start
ed.
This closes one of the most remarka-
BILE snow blockades OF recent years.
Coming at the close of March, when
other portions Of the country are well
advanced toward spring, the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and 500 lines
were tied up as tightly as they could
have been in January. One remark
able feature Of the blockade was that
a comparatively meager amount Of
snow caused the trouble But. as a
railway official said, this snow for fifty
miles around searched out the railroad
cuts and refused to go farther. AS a
result, the cuts were in some cases
filled to a depth of eighteen feet, while
the surrounding country in spots would
be almost bare.
Six transcontinental trains, which
had been blocked in the snow district,
were ready to start at sunup. These
trains being only partially filed were
consolidated into three trains, the first
Of which is due about midnight, the
others an hour or two later. These
are the first trains to arrive from the
Pacific coast since last Friday morn
ing, leaving an interval OF nearly nine
ty hours between trains.

Grand Rapids Has $4,000 In Distress.
DETROIT, Mich, March 20 En-
couraging reports from Lansing, Bat
tie Creek, Flint, Kalamazoo and other
towns where food damages have been
estimated up in the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, show that the dan
ger and distress are largely centralized
in the Saginaw valley and around
Grand Rapids, in the valley Of the
Grand river, and at Grand Rapids,
too. marked improvement is noted.
At Saginaw, however, the Shiawassee,
Cass, Flint, Titdbawassee, Chippewa
and other feeders of the Saginaw riv-
er are bringing down torrents of wa
ter, the escape of which into Saginaw
bay is blocked by ice gorges at and
below Bay City. At Grand Rapids it
is estimated that $4,000 people are in
distress, and at Saginaw large por-
ton of the business section of the
city is flooded

DUE TO FRANCE.

Paris June 25-The American officials here
are hopeful that the Washington government
will take steps TO recognize the good OFFICES OF
France leading up 10 the release OF Messrs.
Perdicaris and Marley. Official dispatches from
Tangier show that the diplomatic plans which
