Bllxxard Aggravates Suffering— Train Sarvica Crippled. Fargo, N. D.r Feh. 4.— W hat is by far the w ont storm of the winter is just subsiding, after having wrought havoc with the train service and occasioned much suffering and death among isolat ed homesteaders. Beginning Friday afternoon, the blissard raged with una bated fury until this evening. Sweep ing across the plains, driving quantities of snow before it and piling it in deep drifts in every cut, it has put an end to all traffic, not only in North Dakota, but in Western Minnesota as well, and resulted in a complete tieup of all rail roads in this part of the country. From 2 o’clock this morning until 7 o’clock this evening not a train arrived in Fargo from the East or West. Trains leaving St. Paul yesterday ar rived tonight, from 12 to 16 hours late. No trains are running north or west of Fargo tonight. East bound coast trains on the Northern Pacific were held all day at Mada, Bismarck, Media and Jamestown. Two passenger trains which left Fargo early last evening were caught in a snowdrift 13 miles east of here and it was found necessary to send 75 men with shovels to dig them out. They were not released until this even ing. That the present storm has carried great suffering and death in its trail there can be little doubt Many were short of fuel and the blizzard aggravated this condition, but it is among the homesteaders that the greatest suffering exists and scores of those have undoubt edly perished. T . M. Kruger, a homesteader residing 21 miles northwest of W illiston, N. D. who reached here today, stated that within eight miles of his* home seven men 'h ad frozen to death on their claims. WAR BOUND TO COME: Conflict llth Jipan Is Iotvltable,. Says Senator Perkins. APPREHENSION IN VASHINGTON Raynor and Gearln’s Speeches Inflame People o f Japan — Failure o f 8chool Suit Predicted. Washington, Feb. 2. — “ W e have laid the foundation for commercial su premacy on the Pacific coast, and at some point in the future course of na tional destiny the pathway of national progress on the part of Japan and the United Stares w ill converge to a point of inevitable conflict.” In these words Senator Perkins o f California, last night predicted a clash between the United States and Japan at some indefinite period. He deliv ered k speech before the National Geo graphical sooiety in which he discussed at length the relations existing be tween this' oountry and Japan. He eulogized the Japanese as a tenacious race, who never assimilate with other peoples, but always rash to the assist« ance of their native land. There was no abatement of the ap prehension and uneasiness felt in offi cial circles here over the relations now existing between the United States and Japan. I t can be positively stated that this feeling of alarm, growing oat of a. serious and critical situation, is more general tonight than a t any tim e sine» the beginning of its development (The discreet men in both branches of congress have been warned to hold their associates in check and prevent further utterances that are calculated to inflame the people of Japan and im pel them to foroc hostile action by their government.
