The steamships Citv of Seattle and '
Rosalie arrived vesterdav from the Sound,
ird the Tees from Victoria, bringing all
tol ! loo r-iwpr?, probably two-thirds
nf whom are bound tor the interior, and
several for Nome over the ice.
The Seattle arrived at n o'clo:k, the
fee* at noon an-1 the Rosalie at ):*}. In
view of the fact the storm was so heavy
about Sloirwav, it was predicted bv manv
that the ships vvoulj not be in yesterday,
but to their agreeable surprise each vessel
tot in on what might be termed schejule
time. Snow was encountered bv all the
vessels the greater part of the wav north,
but none have extraordinary severe
weather to report.
The densest weather was in Lynn canal
the granules ot snow tilling the air and
making it precarious navigation. How
ever. none of 'he ships were seriously im
peded. Weather at Juneau was much
milder than here, rain prevailing at times.
Twice was the Tees required to go to
anchor, once at Port Simpson and once In
Tongas Narrows. The captain of the
Citv of Seattle reports that when he left
Seattle, last Friday, the storm signal was
up. From that point all the way to Skag
wav moie or less snowv weather prevailed
with a southerly wind to Taku Inlet,
where fresh wind was encountered from
the westward. In Lvnn canal northerly
winds were the order. The skipper savs
strong wind Is not the feature In the prev
sent storm, but flying snow. He en
countered wind in the canal 60 days ago,
he savs, twice as strong as the present
blow."
Pilot Durfee, cf the Rosalie, reports
having encountered thick, smothering
weather and southwest wind from Mary
island to Juneau, ana northwest wind
from Juneau to Skagway. The Rosalie
left the Sound Frtdav.
The Tees brought 80 tons of coal, Ave ,
tons of merchandise and the following ten 1

The snow storm which began Monday
morning has continued unceasingly ever
since, and old timers, including the first
white settler, Capt. Moore, sav it is the
hardest ever known In Skagwav. The
constant wind, blowing from the north,
has kept the light tine snow in the air like
a cloud, but sufficient has fallen to probi
blv give an average depth at this point of |
two feet.
The White Pass railroad is having con
sider able difficulty getting trains through.
No passenger train was sent out from Skag
wjv yesterday, there being no plow at
this end. The train that remained at Ben
nett the night before left there at 11 a. m.
vesterdav, following the rotarv, which
was pushed bv two locomotives. From
three to eight feet of snov. was found In
the cuts from Bennett to White Pass,
which was reached at 4 o'clock.
The plow got along all right until one
mile south of Switchback, when it cut
out the lower part of the accumulated face
of snow on the mountain side. This
loosened the mass above and it came down
with a rush, burving the plow and the
locomotives out of sight. The passenger
train, being behind, was not touched bv
the slide.
Fifteen feet of snow was in the cut,
which is 1 50 feet long. Forty men from
the section crews, who were carried on the
passenger train from White Pass as
emergency men, were put to work to dig
out the train At 12:50 o'clock this morn
ing Supt. Rogers expected to have the tialn
moving again In two hours, and said she
would probablv reach Skagway at 6 or 7
o'clock this morning. He reports that
when the slide struck the rotarv It broke
some ot the windows, and the man in
charge of the rotarv became alarmed and
gave the sign I to ths locomotive to cease
pushing. Thev stopped, and became stuck
Had the signal to stop not have been eiven,
savs Mr, Rogers, thev could have pushed
through the cut, and have got here before
midnight. Water In the engines tenders
almost gave out and it was necessary to
use melted snow.
There are 20 passengers on the train fol
lowing the rot try. Thev have all been
provided with food from a nearby station
house, and are being kept comfortably in
the cars.
Snow fills all the shelf like grades along
the high bluffs so as to take the vacancy
made bv the removal of the earth or rock
in opening the road.
The snow fences recently put up as an
experiment are giving entire satisfaction,
and keeping snow fiom nearly all cuts
which thev guard.
Superintendent Rogers said early this
morning thit probablv the next train
would not leave bkagwav f"r Bennett until
tomorrow morning, as it will be necessary
to oveihaul engines and give the train
crews a r~st before sending them out.
Sh)ul<l the storm continue, he savs, an ef
fort will be made to send a train one way
over the road dally, thus giving a train
out one day and one in the next.
The wires to Selkirk, which were down
day before yesterday, are up again, but
Dawson and other points bevond Selkirk
are still out ot the world. Reports show
the wind does not prevail in the Yukon
valley beyo d Bennett, ind the indications
are the storm must be confined to the coast.
P. Oregon, a man bound for Caribou, to
cook for the railroad camps, was found
lying unconscious in a snow shed on the
railroad vesterdav with his face und hands
frozen. He will be brought to the city bv
the next train to arrive.
