THE GREAT STORM. The Whole of the Northwest had a Taste of It—Vessels Lost, Itailrnaris llloekaded ami Telegraph Wires 1'rostratcd. MINNESOTA, IOWA AND DAKOTA. St. Paul, Oct. 18.—The storm has not been very severe at St. Paul, and the ab sence of telegraphic communication prevents obtaining any-definite informa tion ot the condition of the country north and west of here. To-day is dry and warm here, with the little snow on the ground rapidly disappearing. Com munication by telegraph in every direc tion is cut off for a distance exceeding twenty or thirty miles. All known of southern Minnesota is learned from Mil waukee. Nothing is known of the North ern Pacific country yet, except the re port that the storm is more severe and the snow heavier than was experienced all last winter. The arrival of delayed trains on some of the railroads and explosion of the lines by the railroad officials on others still blocked furnishes more definite informa tion as to the extent and damage of the storms ot Saturday and Sunday. The suow is mainly confined to the southern part oft he Btate, along the Southern Min nesota road and Sioux City east of St. .Tames. On these lines the cuts are full of snow, and drifts several feet deep are on the track, aud no trains have moved since Friday night. On the Hastings aud Dakota the travel is prevented by snow. East of Stewart on the northern lines there is less BUOW, the detention of moving trains arrising mainly from the disabling of telegraph lines by wind. There is some snow, however, on the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Montana in the wooded country west of here, and on the Northern Pacific east of Red river. Tel egraphic services is still in crippled state on all the roads. St. Paul wos com pletely issolated for twenty-four hours, and for three days has only had commu nication with Milwaukee. Trains are now moving nearly on regular time on nil the roads centering here except the Sioux City & Manitoba. ON TUB T.AKE8. Chicago, Oct. 18—The storm of Satur day night and Sunday was one of the 'most Bevere that has visited this region for years. The casualties already report ed resulting fiom it are numerous, while it is feared that the worst news has not yet been received. The gale WOH furious in the city, but on the lake, whero it had full Bwny, it mu8t have driven everything in the suapo of tionting craft* before it. Nothing hw been lieara from tbo Alpena yet. The telegraph wiles are still down in every direction. The Captain of the barge S. A. Irish reports lie parted company with the missing steamer Alpena, after sailing with her three hours, ten miles off Ken-' oRha, She was then heading shoreward. Nothing has been heard of her since. The crew and passengers of the wreck ed steamer Alpena are variously stateil at from forty. to seventy. The captain, Napier was a trusty and skillful officer, lhe ollicials of the Goodrich line, to which she belonged, refuse to give any particulars about her or her passenger list. She was not the stauuehest vessel in the line. The Inter-Ocean's Muskegon spociul says: Not a vestige is left of the sclioon er Grenada, which went to pieces off the shore hero. Only two survivors, Win. Bissell, the mate, and Angus Tinkloter, the captain's brother. The latter reports the vessel loft Chicago with a smart breeze on Friday evening, but the steer mg apparatus soon became worthless, and the schooner was at the mercy of the waves, and the Btorm hourly increasing' in violence. On Saturday noon the stew ard and a sailor died of exposure, and he luinsolf prayed for death. Sunday noon land was sighted, and they began to make a raft. One sailor was caught be tween parts of the rocking vessel and nearly crushed, but was wrapped in a canvass and put on the raft. The cap tain lost his hold 1y the breaking of the raft and was drowned when near the shore. Tinkloter held on for a while and then swam ashore. All of the rest of the crew, number not stated, were drowned before their eyes. IN AND KfSAlt CHICAGO. Chicago, Oct. 18,1. a. m.—The great wind storm, which began at midnight Friday, is still blowing, although some what abated. Its velocity for the period of forty-eight hours lias been 25 to 35 miles per hour, There wii6 a slight fall of snow yesterday, but the wind blew it all away. The brick casing on one side of the Illinois Central elevator "A" was blown out. Two freight core of the Illi nois railroad were blown from the pier into the lake. One side of Munger, Wheeler & Co's elevator at the foot of Fourteenth street, was blown out and the wind tore off the iron roof of an elevator the same firm is building at the junction of the north and south brunches of the river. A large quantity of lumber was blown out of the yards, and in the coal yards men found 'it impossible to work. The wind blew the water out of the river, lowering the level three feet, one result of whicli was the grounding of a propel ler and a barge iu the Madison street draw. The north and south ends of the unfinished stock house of the steelworks in sontli Chicago, were blown down, in juring several men, two of whom will die. One sailing vessel, the schooner "Golden Fleece," entered this port Saturday. Her captain re ported seeing the spurs of a sunken schooner. Off the murine hospital at Milwaukee, where the wind appeared to blow hardest, several vessels drugged their anchors badly and were in much danger. Many were partially disabled. Off Two Rivers point a fish boat cap sized and two men were drowned. The schooner "Dauntless" water-logged off the same point but the crew gained shore safely. West of Charles City, Iowa, two feet of snow fell, and the rail roads are blocked. The storm has been very general in the west. Returns come in slowly, owing to the demoralized con dition of the wires. Doubtless the damage will bo very great. The sclioooner "David A. Weils" went to the bottom some time yesterday, about five miles off Lake A'icw, just northeast of Chicago, and it is supposed that her captain and crew of eight men were drowned. No trace of them could be discovered. The schooner had 6.000 tons of iron ore. from Escanaba, for the Chicago rolling mills. It was valued at §10,000, and insured for S5,0"0. The schooner is supposed to have swamped. Half a dozen otner vessels are ashore at different points along the lake in this vicinity, and will be more or less dam aged. The wind at midnight had almost subsided. IN NEBRASKA. Council Bluffs Nonpareil, lflth. The storm which prevailed oil Friday afternoon and night was quite general throughout Nebraska, and in some sec tions a very heavy fall of suow is report ed, particularly in the Elkhorn Yallcy, where the snow drifts in the cuts ou the Niobrara & Black Hills railroad wore piled up from seven to eleven feet high, blockading the road and delaying the trains. The train due on Saturday, on the St. Paul A- Sioux City road, run into a big snow drift a few miles north of Tckumah, and had to be shoveled out by the train men, who aci-iriently pulled the renr coach off' the track. The train was delayed about live hours. Tlierc was also a heavy snowfall on the Republican Valley road, and between Oceola and Storins'lmrg there were drifts seven feet deep in the cuts. The Union Pacific is clear, and trains are iill moving. Telegraphic communi cation was cut off during the storm. The railroad wires were gotten up again as far as North Platte by Saturday night. For twenty-four hours there was no tele graphic communication with points weBt of Columbus. Whether the snow storm struck the cat tle ranges in weetern and northern Ne braska with its full force has not yet been learned, but it is feared that the cattle are suffering inconsequence of the storm. This heavy fall of snow BO early in the seasou is something remarkable in the west. HJS "H0NAH" BADLY AFFECTED. Exciting Correspondence Between Warie llamptou and Secretary Sherman—Does It He&a Blood Ee Washington, Oot. 18.—Secretary Sher man has furnished for publication the following correspondence: Doggers Springs, Sept. 17, 1880.—To Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury—Sir: Some days ago I saw a report of your speech at a conference held by the national republican commit tee at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, and you were quoted as having used the following language: "And now you are asked to surrender all you liavo done into the hands of Wade Hampton and the ku-klux and the little segment in the north that is called the democratic par ty." May I ask if you used these words, and if you did so," did you menu me di rectly or indirectly with what was known as the ku-klux klan? liequewting an early reply* addressed to me care of Aug. Schell, esq., New York, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, WADE HAMPTON. Hon. Wade Hampton, care Aug. Schell, SPECIAL XOTK IS. Esq., New York—Sir: Your note of the 17tfi inst. is received. I used the lan guage attributed to me as follows: "And now you are asked to surrender all you have doue into the hands of Wade Hum]ton and the ku-klux and the little segment in the north that is called the democratic imrty." In reply I have to advise you that, while I do not remember the precise language, I presume the re porter correctly stated in a condensed way his idea of what I said. I no doubt spoke of you as a leading represen tative of the democratic party in the south,and referred to theku klux klan as representati ve of the barbarous agen cies by which the democracy have sub verted the civil and political rights of the republicans of the south. I did not per sonally connect you with the ltu klux klan. Indeed, I knew you had in one or two important instances resisted and de feated its worst impulses. I appreciate the sense of honor which makes you shrink from being named in connection with it. Still you and your associates, leading men iu the south, now enjoying the benefits of political power derived from the atrocities of the ltu klux klan,in which phrase I include all the numerous aliases by which it has from time to time been known in the south. Your power in the southern states rests upon actual crimes of every grade iu the code of crimes, from murder to the meanest form of ballot box stulliing committed by the ku klux klan aud its kindred associates, and as you know some of the worst of them committed since 1877, when you and they guve most solemn assurances of protection to the freedraen of the south. These crimes are all aimed at the civil and political rights of the repub licans of the south, and! believe that but for these agencies the very state that you represent, as well as many other states in the south, would be represented both in the senate and house by republi cans, But for these crimes the boast at tributed to you that one hundred and thirty-eight solid southern votes would be cast for the democratic ticket, would be but idle vaporing. But now we feel that it iB sober truth. While I have no reason to believe that you or your north ern associates personally participated in the offenses I have named, yet while you and they enjoy the fruits of these crimes, you may in logic and morals be classed as joint copartners with the ku klux klan in the policy which thus far has been successful in seizing political power in the south and which it is hoped by the aid of the small segment of the democra tic party in the north may be extended to all the departments oi the govern ment. It is in this sense I spoke of yon, the ku klux klan and northern deinocratio party. Permit me, in conclusion, while frankly answering ydur question, to say the most fatal policy for the south would be by such agencies as I have mentione.d to sccure again political ascendency in this country, for I assure you that the manhood and independence of the north will certainly continue to struggle until every republican in the smith shall have tree and unrestricted enjoyment of equal civil aud political privileges including a lair vote, a count, free spcech aud free press, aud the agitation made neccssaiy to secure such results may greatly affect injuriously the interests of the people of the south.

Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., Oct. 1880—To Hon. Wade Hampton, Columbia, S.

Growing Anxious—Giving- up a White Man to he Tortured Ity .S'.iva^eti.Q Washington, Oct. 18—Secretary Seliurz before leaving Washington to day telegraphed as follows: 'lo Gov. Pitkin, Denver, Col.: If the associated press reports that two com panies of militia have been started for the IJte reservation to arrest Agent Ber ry, and that a conflict between them and the Indians is anticipated, it seems al most inevitable that if this proceeding goes on a conflict will come. Such force is not necessary to secure obedi ence to a stato process on the part of government officers, and the government of the United States will be entirely ready to aid in enforcing sncli process without an aggressive movement of state troops calculated to bring on a dis astrous conflict with the Indians. Any prisoner arreeted .uuder process is enti tled to absolute protection against mob violence, and the state authorities should accompany any arrests bv adequate guarantees of personal safety to their risouers. This being evident, there will no reason why the accused should not willingly obey any lawful process, and if they did not certainly the government of the United States would not counte nance any such disobedience. I most certainly impress upon you to arrest any movements or conduct ou the part of the state militia which can possibly lead to so disastrous a cousequence as an In dian war would be. Denver, Col., Oct. IS.—Advices from Saguaelie say Wm. S. Peek, a govern ment scout, gives testimony which goes to prove that Berry, Sleacham, Holmes and Cline inten tionally gave young Jackson over to the Indians, tie says' Col.
