Sr. PAI!|„ Minn., March 11.—Reports, of the damage done by Wednesday's blizzard ore just beginning to oorac in. and they show a serious condition of affairs. Trains are everywhere delayed, much suffering1 by cold and exposure has been caused and lut^ny lives have been lost, although it is now impossible to estimate how serious this last feature of the storm has been.

The Wowt Feared.

As an example of the dangers attendant in so severe a blizzard a case at Albert Lea can le cited. There Nelson Ulaekmer, a brother of Dr. and Judge Hlackmer, left early Wednesday morning for the Dr. Wedge farm, 2 miles west of the cit3*, and has not since been heard from. Me, no doubt, has perished in the storm. lie was about 40 years of age and unmarried.

An t'nlooked-for Visitor.

Tlie blizzard came upon Minnesota so unexpectedly and with such terrific force that it has fairly stunned the state, and business pertaining to outdoors is absolutely suspended. For ten days the weather had been balmy and springlike. Not a vestige of snow was 011 Minnesota soil, and everywhere farmers were preparing for spring seeding. In the cities storm sash had been taken down, furnaces were banked and sprang housecleaning was in progress. A warm rain began falling Tuesday night, and toward midnight a strong breeze sprang up that had increased to a gale by daylight. It changed the rain to snow and sleet and drove it furiously before it at an increasing velocity. Jty the time day had dawned a full-fledged blizzard extended from the western, limits of the state over into Wisconsin and south through Iowa. The mercury fell rapidly, and the snow was frozen into particles liko sand which were driven at a velocity of 50 miles an hour.

Stuck III a Snowbank

A passenger train on the Minrieapo lis & St Louis road has been stuck in a drift between here and Faribault since 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The train is without fuel and water, and no help has been sent as yet, although the passengers are being taken care of at the neighboring farm houses and villages. The snowdrift in which the train is stuck is 200 feet long and 'JO feet deep. Throughout the entire northwest the railroads have suffered severely-. "Wreck on th« Northern Pacific.

Que of the most serious results of the blizzard was a wreck on the Northern Pacific at Lake Park Thursday morning. A snow plow carrying three engines and running as the first section of the regular train had a headend collision at that point at 4:30 a. m. with the first section of the passenger train. George Carr, engiueer of the passenger train, was thrown with terrible force against the air brake while in his cab, one leg being frightfully torn and both badly scalded, while his head suffered severe contusions. Several other trainmen were badly shaken up, but Carr's injuries are the most serious.

rKKISIIEI) IX THE feTOHM.

Travelers Kxponcd to tlio Blizzard Never Itouch Their Homes. DEVIL'S LAKE, N. D., March 11.— William M. Griflln, a farmer, was found frozen to death Thursday half a mile from town. GrifTin was returnlug from his farm and was caught in the blizzard. A mile from town he abandoned his team and started to walk to the city. One ox was found dead near the wagon. The deceased leaves wife and three small children. Other abandoned teams are reported and searching parties are out in all directions.

GRAFTON*, X. I)., March 11.—A n:an and his team were frozen between here and the depot. They were found by the station man. The man was lying down in the wagon box. A couple married here Tuesday came near suffering the same fate. They were overtaken by the storm two miles south of town. Their team fortunately wandered into a warm corner. In the city considerable damage was done.

GltANii FORKS, N. I), March 11.— Thomas Nugent, one of the pioneer citizens of this county, lost his life in the storm Tuesday night. He left this city in the evening for his farm, 1-J miles north, with his team and wagon. After the storm cleared he was found-in his wagon 2 miles from the home road. The horses had been unhitched and turned loose, and both perished. The horses apparently becainc exhausted and refused to go further against the storm, and lie lay in the wagon to wait for it to blow over. He must have gone to sleep and became benumbed as it becume colder. Mr. Nugent was

highly respected citizen and leaves a large family.

A high chimney at the new St. Joseph's hospital was blown down anil crushed through the slate roof, i' doing considerable damage. Several of the ornaments on the turrets of the Trinity cathedral were torn loose and fell to the I ground. The windstorm played havoc with the wires of the Western Union

Wires went down and communication with other cities was for some time cut oil*. Street cars and henlics were compelled to stop and pedestrians were tossed about like pebbles on a storm-lashed shore. Sirs. Palmer, wife of Senator Palmer, of Illinois, was blown down just as she was entering the capitol. Her head struck the stone Hugging and when she was assisted to her feet blood was streaming from a cut over her right eye. But she declared it amounted to nothing, and turning, she helped her sister, Mrs. Rlack, who had also taen blown down, to arise. Another lady, a stranger whose name cannot be learned, was blown to the ground with such violence as to knock her senseless. she remained unconscious for some time. Many other similar mishaps occurred, but the telephone wires being down, it is impossible to get particulars.

\N A sin NF. TON, March 11.— Immediately alter the house resolved itself into the committee of the whole Thursday on the free wool bill Mr. Oingley Ole.) resumed his argument n^dinst the measure. In opening be denied the statement made by the gentlemnn from Tennessee (Mr. MeMillin) that the last congress had appropriated ?1.iun.0iu,0fi ». During the past two fiscal years appropriated for by that congress the expenditures of the government, were but §700.000-. 000. Concluding, Mr. Uiugley urged gentlemen to bear in mind the fact that this country under the policy of protection had become the most prosperous country on the faccof the earth.

Turner's Compliment to Springer. -j Mr. Turner (Ua.), member of the ways atid means committee, the next speak- 1 er, said that he would have been glad to have had pendingu bill which would sweep the whole horizon and give to every eiti/.eu that eompensattou which a fair and just reform of the tariff would give to every I consume! in the country. His judgment in this respect had been overruled by those to whose opinion he deferred with great respect, and it was due to those gentlemen that he should say that they sincerely believed that their policy would enable the majority of the house to secure for the people some slight relief from the burden of taxation. (Applause).

Touched I'p Sir. Kool..

Mr. Turner then turned his attention to a criticism of Speaker Heed's rulings in the last congress, denying that the recent decision of the supreme court hail vindicated those rulings, and. when Mr. Walker (Mass.) rose to defend the ex-speaker, catechized the gentleman, who was willing to reply, to the manifest annoyance of Mr. l'eed, who intimated to Mr. Walker that he would reply to the criticisms at the proper time, and suggested that he be permitted to do so.

Kecd in*isti He Wus Viudictitcd. Mr. Reed rising to reply expressed the opinion that his action ai that time had been thoroughly vindicated by the decision of the supreme court. The question was whether he had violated his duty in counting members present who were in the chamber. Never before the decision of the court had any admission been made that it was a present quorum and not an acting quorum that was demanded by the constitution. Continuing. Mr. Reed argued that under the constitution a present quorum was sufficient for the transaction of business.

Only Temporary l»«fe:»|.

The gentleman from U^oryia nad seen tit to refer to the last election. How often in the history of the world had the righteous gone temporarily to the wall? Laughter,) Oliver Cromwell had been tie? protector of »re:»t- Hritain, and the flag of t*re::r Rritain hail been protected on every sea: and the voice of Cromwell had staid the perseention of Christians of every land. And yet the people of (treat Rrituin with loud acclamations' had welcomed back the monarchy of Charles II. In a few years afterwards Charles II. lay buried in the abbey where England buried her distinguished dead and Oliver Cromwell lay buried under Tyburn tree.

I'or Ktdurtiou of Taxation. Mr. Patterson (Teun.) made an argument in support of the bill and inveighed against the protection policy of the republican party, which he claimed was detrimental to the interests of the negro laborers of the south. Me denounced the force, bill as the most infamous of all infamous measures and he congratulated the country that the republican party itself was now ashamed of having advocated it. The farmers of the south nnd west were dissatisfied with the, present condition of affairs and were, clamoring foV a reduction of taxation.

At the conclusion of Mr. Patterson's speech the committee rose and the house adjourned.
