This Season--.The Business Men
and Prospects OF tho City.
MANDAl

AS evidence of the enterprise of the
west the little llase. of Mandan across
the river is a striking illustration. One
who has not visited the place since last
summer can hardly realize the extent OF
the improvements during the season.
Nam street is indeed a marvel. Nearly
every lot is now covered with good sub
stanlial building, constructed with an
eye to increased trade The back streets,
where last year the antelope and badger
used to frolic unnoticed by man, are now
lined with elegant residences, some Of
them as cheerful. and inviting as any III
Bismarck Around the town in every d.
rection the prairie is speckled with dim
inutive farm houses. Mandanltes are.not
asleep. They simply rest with one eye
open. The number of real estate transfers
is by no means small item. Mr. Bowen,
agent for the Northern Pacific lands in
this section, has sold s@ #
NEARLY $780, 900 WORTH OF PROPERTY
in and about Mandan. The business men
who have settled and are daily settling in
this rising city are men Of means; they
will not have to undergo the hardships
that Bismarck's pioneers went through
They come with thousands to back them,
and full stocks rof goods. The leading
merchants of Bismarck came here desti-
tute, many of them striking tlfe town with
out 4 cent and others on foot. Through
their enterprise and hard work, Bismarck
is now known and respected throughout
the country. If IfBi:marckers accomplished
this despite the disadvantages they under
went, what cannot Mandanltes do in same
length Of time with everything in their
favor: Though Mar dts49- eau never be the
city that
BISMARCK MUST NECESSARILY BE,
yet she must, by force Of circumstances,
become city ofno inconsiderlble di
nlensions. Her business men, as well as
those OF Bismarck, are live, energetic men,
and will not allow an opportunity to pass

city's interest They have already or

ing themselves against fire. They are
even talking water works, the town being
handsomely situated for the reservoir sys-
tenn. The high bluffs overlooking THO
city are but three blocks from Main street
and a mile and half from the river. The
scheme is to put them in next season
when they expect the city to double her
population and become a power that VIII
give them back their freedom from Bur
leigh's chains and allow them to organize
in any shape they see tit. A good sized
depot has been built, together with sever
al freight houses, and an engine house Of

vantages, become rival OF Bismarck, the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2lst.-A dis

House of representation this after.
noon and Is the absorbing topic O (
town talk tonight. Conjecture is
rife as to what will be its conse-
quences tomorrow. It is agreed
on all hands that the two princi-
pals in this most unseemly affair
must be subjected to the severe
discipline of public reprimsnd by
the speaker of the House and
compelled to apologize for their
grossly unparliamsntary language
and conduct on penalty OF expul-
sion In case of refusal. The ex-
element in the Hall during the
progress of the alteration and for
some minutes after its termination
was intense almost beyond de.
scrlption. When Sparks roarsd
out "You are q scoundrsl and q
villain" in response to WsAver's
epithet Of "Liar," Weaver rapidly
walked towards him, stripping of
his coat, as he proceeded.
Sparks, after clutching . chair for
. weapon, commenced to take of
his coat also and moved towards
bis approaching adversary.

friends hastened to seize and
hold them back, but Jones, OF

MR.. KNAPP, who Is interested
in the Silverado mines, tells us that
very gratifying developments are
taking place there. There seems
to be at that point a whole noun
tain of galena ore heavily charged
with silver. The assays run from
$50 up to over $500. The Blue
Light lode, in which Deputy U. 8.
Marshal Dunlap, John d. Bick.

Gems are interested, has already
widened to nine feet Of good ore,
and Mr.. Knapp is In exactly the
same kind of ore at depth of nine
hundred feet on the mountain

means Of transportation from the
interior, it appears that the Amoor

In the new province Of the Amoor
belong to the so-called Siberian
feet, whose officers and seamen
are engaged for a longer term OF
service and receive higher pay
than In other sections of the Rus

squadron numbered, until recently,
five sea-going cruisers, and nearly
twenty transports, gun-boats and
river steamers. These haye been
supplemented, however, according
to the latest news, by five vessels
of large dimensions, and it is fur
Their arranged that the well-built
and rapid ocean steamers, pur-
chased during the Turkish war,
and which now ply between Odes-
% and Vladivostok, via the Suez
canal, shall remain out, should

desirable. In addition to this ST.
berian squadron, the Russians
have also under an independent
command q regular division OF
ships In Chinese waters, which
formerly consisted Of a large cruis-
er as flagship and four or i've
smaller vessels. This fleet, too,
within a few months, has been
powerfully reinforced by two iron
clads and three swift and we'll
armed cruisers of the latest mod
ern type. While such are the
naval resources of Russia in this
quarter, the military force main

some time numbered 5000 men,
