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 passengers: The passengers on the Tees for Skagwav were all from Victoria.

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. Inland Wralbcr.
