Wlt.D WINDS.

CHICAGO, March 10.—The worst blizzard known .since January 12, 1S68, set in through the northwest Wednesday. Reports thus far received are necessarily meager, due to the prostration of telegraph wires throughout the territory affected, but that much damage to property lias been inflicted, great suffering caused and a considerable loss of life experienced is certain, while later atid fuller reports may make the situation so much worse that its horrors will exceed that of the terrible storm of four years ago.

The Area VUlteil.

Minnesota and North Dakota seem to have been the worst sufferers from the blizzard, while heavy snow, accompanied ly high winds, fell in Wisconsin, and Iowa felt the effect of a severe blow. Kansas and Nebraska were also affected, but Illinois and Michigan seemed to have escaped, though there was a more provoking than serious disturbance of the weather in and near Chicago.

At Warren, II)..- the mcrcury is reported at 10 below zoro. The storm at Kreeport was unprecedented. A dispatch from Fairbury savs everything is again frozen up. Winter wheat is likely to be the greatest sufferer. .Street car travel is seriously impeded at Hock ford and business is almost at a standstill. Trains on all roads are late and some have been abandoned.

MINNESOTA SITKrKKS SKVIiltKI.Y.

Cold, and Snow and High Wind. Provnll. I.OHFT of I.lf« Is Feared.

ST. I'AN., Minn., March 10.—Perhaps not in fifteen years has St. I'aul been visited by so horrible a blizzard as that which began about 8 o'clock Weduesday morning. Tuesday night a rain set in which turned to snow, and soon afterward a gale sprang up which was almost impossible for a human being to face. The wind blew fitfully with much force. It was heavily laden with small particles of snow, which penetrated houses and streetcars like fine dust. At times it was impossible to see 10 feet away and the wind blew so hard as to almost take people off their feet.

A

snowplow ran

into a Selby avenue cable-train and smashed things badly, but no one was injured. Nearly all the electric railway lines, including the InterUrban line between St. l'aul and Min neapolis, found it impossible to run cars. Reports at the railroad offices show that on almost every line of travel in the northwest traffic is badly blocked. The blizzard was general throughout the northwest and it is feared that much loss of life must have resulted in the open country. It is becoming- extremely cold.

DULUTH, Minn., Marcn 10.—All the furies of the elements seemed to be loose Wednesday night. All day lung they held high carnival in this section of the northwest The storm center was not far from this city, between here and St l'aul, and this gave Duluth the full force of the conflicting storms, one coming from the south, the other from the north. The temperature at midnight was S degrees above zero. Business in the afternoon was almost entirely suspended. During the morning street cars ran with the help of snow plows, but gave up the struggle about noon. The Northern Pacific abandoned its trains, as did the South Shore. The afternoon Northwestern train arrived and one was started out, but it is not known how far it got At West Duluth the smokcstack of Merrill & Ring's sawmill blew down, killing a man named F. Cullen and injuring two others. It is feared there may be much suffering, if not loss of life, before the storm is over.

CKOOKSTOX, Minn. March 10.—This locality was visited by the severest storm experienced in years Tuesday night. It started in the evening with a gentle rain, but by 10 o'clock turned into a blinding snow storm with a stiff gale from the north. Shortly after midnight it gained great velocity and the wind rose to a perfect hurricane, carrying with it all signs and loose material and doing many dollars' worth of damage to business blocks. Numerous plate-glass fronts were demolished.

ST. PETER, Minn.. March 10.—The worst blizzard for nineteen years is raging here. Several school children who started out Wednesday are missing both at school and at home, although it is hoped they have been taken in and are being cared for. Two teamsters also started for the country early in the morning, and it is feared that they are victims of the blizzard. The storm is fjjlly as bad as the one of 1873, when there was such loss of life and when so much stock perished, and. while not as cold as then, it is rapidly growing in that direction.

It Swoops Over Iowa, Doing Cou»lderubl* l)«n»age—Trains Delayed. MAHSHAJ.LTOW.N, la., March 10.—'The

most violent windstorm known hero for years prevailed all day, accompanied by frequent snowsqualls. The wind is northwest, having almost the velocity of a hurricane, and the temperature is rapidly falling. Considerable havoc was wrought by the wind here. A stone wall 20 feet high was blown down at Hofman's old brewery. Th«t wind peeled a section of tin roof 20 by 40 feet off the main building of the Ketchum wagon works, rolling it up like wall paper blew down the Marshalltown furnituru factory's smokestack, and much other minor damage was done. Shade trees,

chimneys, awnings and outhouses were blown down and scattered. liusiijes* has been paralyzed all day. Trains are delayed on the railroads.

DBS MOINRS, la., March i0 —The storm here has been one of the worst ever experienced here in March It has blown down trees, chimneys and sign and in some cases small hums. The loss throughout central Iowa will bp large. The highest velocity reached here was 05 miles an hour and the maximum for a five-minute period 40 miles an hour.

Much damage has been done all over the state by wind. At Plover font freight ears were blown from the Rock Island tracks. Telegraph lines have been badly damaged to a great extent by falling trees and limbs The walls of the Capital City opera house, burned two weeks ago, wore blown down, but no one was injured.

WATHKI.OO, la., March 10. A terrible windstorm, accompanied by snow and sleet, has been raging here. It reached its height at noon, tearing off many roofs, breaking plate-glass windows and overturning carriages. Two hacks were overturned ou tlie bridges and one man was seriously injured. No covered vehicles have attempted to cross the river since noon. Telegraph wires art down and all trains are late.

ASHLAND, Wis., March 10.—One of the worst snowstorms of the season has been raging here. Traffic was nearly entirely suspended and it. was impossible to bring out the street-cars Wednesday afternoon.

WKBT SI'PKIUOR, Wis., March 10.— The worst storm of the season is raging here, succeeding a ruu of unusually spring-like weather. At 5 o'clock Wednesday morning it began to snow and the fall increased as the day wore on, the wind- rising to a perfect gale. Fully 12 inches of snow has fallen and it lies in drifts, in some places 10 feet high. All streetcars are blockaded at points along the roads and efforts to resume traffic have been abandoned.

WASHINGTON-, March 10.—The proposition for a deep-water channel connecting Chicago, Dnlutli and other western lake points with Ituffalo and eastern lake points has practically been killed by opposition before tlie river and hnvbc* committee. Several congressmen from lake districts have urged that, the deep waterway would be a positive injury, as it would lead to building deeper draft aud larger vessels and thus driving the small vessels from the lakes It has also been opposed on the ground that it was a project favorable to Chicago, Duluth and Huf fnlo at the expense of intermediate lake points. The discussion has brought out much bitterness in the river and harbor committee and has brought about a feeling which is sure to kill the deep waterway project.

He says that the Hritish commissioners have reported that there is no danger of serious diminution of the seals, and therefore the necessity of a modus vivendi is not apparent.

Mil.I.IN I A l.KS ON Till-. TAICIKK. ASMIXOTON, March 10 --The country

will now have a constant Hood of tm ilV talk from the house until the date fixed for the consideration of the silver bill Mr. Me.Millin (Tenn.) who has been placed in charge of tho tariff since Mr Springer (111.) is no longer able to lead the tight, delivered his opening speech on the free wool bill al Wednesday's session.

Duty of the Pren*nt Congret*. l!c»atd the present congress wnscxptH'ied to con eel tho uo great evils committed bv the last congress viz.: The lm]ssilion of the highest tariff taxes ever levied in this country, and the moat extravagant appropriations ever made in time of peaco There, can be no permanent prosperity whilo one-half or even one third of All the money iu the United Suit. must go through the hands of a federal lav untberet every year, bentdes the taxe* |,,r state.county and municipal purpose*

The ttemedy.

"There is a remedy: Impose less taxes ami spend le*»s money. That is what ihis congress means to do. The tariff law has now been in operation one yc.nr aud live months. Where are the ienr!lrial effects that were to follow from it? Where is the magnificent price the farmer aud wool grower was tu realize from itv Where are the increased wages the laboring man was lo gel? I see before me many men who voted for that monstrous measure. If the facts were with them they would proclaim it to the world. I defy contradiction when say the farmer realized from two to thtve cenls less on the JMUUKI for his wool than he did before. And I challenge anv representative here to point to a single line ot manufactures in which the laborers' wages have m-en iuereasf'd by that law

Harm to the Sujfur Industry. Mr. McMillin spoke of the injustice done to tho sugar Industry, and said the authors of the bill take much credit to themselves for having placed sugar on (lie free list. They did put must grades of Mtgaron ihe tree list, but the liner grades are still taxed heavily for the benefit of the manufacturer, lie is left wilh more protection by tha1. bill than by the rates imposed in the Mills bill. It is true that fifty »»ild millions of dollars were taken off the sugar

i-i*:.

but this is no free will offering, for the MHIII. measure provided for the payment of $t'2.00u.n.u lo the producers of sugar a* bounties.

The MeKlntey ItU1 Denounced. In his general denunciation ot the McKinWy bill Mr. McMillin *aid"If no other good had resulted from ihe Mc* Ivinley bill, it has taught the American leoplc that the tatiff is a tax. and a on the people who consume the upou which it is levied. Thi* question of e.xce.sMvo increase'* in the ratio of taxation I as hern pas:»ed upon by the people and condemned In a manner not to be mistaken. Thorough disinsion preceded its adoption Newspaper* and periodicals did theit wmk in informing the people of the changes Then came the advance price, speaking in unmistakable tones of the hardship that comes from increased taxation. Then the election came, and never was stteh a defeat ad minNteied to a recent party as wa visited u|)on ihos* who had passed this measure

Followed

by

Mr.

Dhiglev.

Mr. McMillin's speech occupied nearly two hours, being allowed by unanimous consent at the request of Mr Burrows (Mich.) to extend his remarks over the allotted ho :r. As he concluded aud resumed his seat there was a storm of applause from the demo cratic side, the galleries joining in.

After a few oments pusscd in obtaining order Mr. Pingley (Me.) too! the tloor. He said the democrats wen1 divided against tbcmelve.v The party had •rone before the people in the last election and had made faiso atid wicked charges aguinst the republic tins The people wore ••oking with anxiety to see what they intended to do. Tbetr policy was not well defined. 'three sporadic ftilU.

The three sporadic bilU reported by the committee on wnvs am. means showed exactly what tarnT reform meant as dclmed by the M0 democrats in the house. This was the realization of the promise made in 1*00. under which so many democrats were heie to-day. 'Ibis was the remedy for Ihe atrocious McKinley bill.

There were also a few other bill-, which lliev proposed to brini? in 'Ihe present tarifY in all its purls wascorrelative and framed in view of a consistent policy. If free bind-* ing twine, free wool ami woolen goods and free cotton ties were an tn de\ of their poltcv. then the democratswere free traders. What a specfte'e. in these bi!l! totton ties on the free ... list und lioop iron, of which cotton ties were made, protected at :».*» per cent! Manufactured articles were put upon the free list and raw material taxed. The farmer's wool, a complete product as to him. was on tlie free list and matin* faeturcrs' cloth is protected at per cent. The bills as re-! ported were absurd, unjust and uuwise. If the democraU believed in the policy of their party they would bring in measures which illustrated its principles. Hut they were afraid. They dared not go to the people upon the tar ill issue. They dodged-, the question.

Pending the further remarks by Mr. Pintfloy the committee rose ami the house adjourned until to-day.

Will Last Tor Weeks.

Tlie debate will be resumed to-day and will continue for live or six weeks, with occasional interruptions* of two or three days for the silver bill and appropriation bills.
