BARNS HIDDEN UNDER SNOW.
Worst Blizzard of Fifty Years in
North Dakota,

ST. PAUL, MIMI, January 22-The heavy
snow which covers North Dakota for miles
and miles is piled in drifts of unprecedented
depth, covering in some cases houses and
barns.
the railroads bent every effort to bring to
the towns of the state trains filled with
coal and provisions. This action OF the
railroads was wise, for now every line in
North Dakota is at the mercy of the ele-
ments. Not train on any line has moved
into st. Paul for three days
The blizzard which swept over the north
west on Saturday was the worst recorded
in fifty years The weather. however, mod
Grated yesterday and everywhere gangs OF
men were at work striving to clear the
snow from houses and from railroad tracks.
The Great Northern road put eight rota-
rIes and twenty-five snow plows at work
through to North Dakota and trains are
moving to relieve the congestion and to
carry supplies through the central part OF
the state.
In the mountain district. however. the
road has Jared badly, snow slides filling In
the tracks and banks pilng up as deep as
fifty feet aud even seventy feet.
The Northern Pacific road Is bending all
efforts to keep the main limo clear. Eight
rotaries are working along the line. 1t was
reported yesterday that traffic was moving
slowly on the main line and some trains
would arrive in st. Paul today.
The 500 road is demoralized. Not q train
can reach st. Paul through the storm bound
regions, and though men are kept working
in shifts night and day. the right of way
has not yet been cleared. The branch lines
have been abandoned for time.

Nicholas of. inqufring personally of the
principal governments Of Europe concern
ing their views of the date and program of
the second peace conference at The Hague.
He lunched with the Russian ambassador,
made formal request to be received at
the German foreign Office and secured an
appointment to meet Ambassador Tower to-
day. The professor hopes to obtain an au-
thoritatfve expression of the wishes of the
American government through Mr.. Tower.
Since the Russian government sent pro-
visional program in March to the other gov
ernments that~wiM participate in the APP
preaching peace conference a large amount
Of correspondence has taken place respect
ing questions which were omitted from the
program. The most important Of these APP
pear to be those of the United States In
proposing discussions of the limitations Of
ornaments and the Drago~ doctrine.
The British premier, Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, has intimated in public ut
terances that Great Britain might propose
q discussion OF the question of the limita-
ton OF armaments, but she has not yet done
So The German, Austrian, French and
italian governments do not seem to have
proposed any important changes in the pro-
gram.
AS 1t is considered that the program will

rected to report on the definite attitude of
