MISSOURI RIVER IMPRorEMENT.
Supplemental Report of the Commission
Upon Work Done and Projected.

Supplemental Report of the Commission
Upon Work Done and Projected.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The Secretary of
war today transmitted to the house of rep
resentatives supplemental report of the
Missouri river commission. 1t says that
during the past year the river has been sur
veyed from Fort Benton to Traverse Point,
a distance of 24O miles. Work on the Mis-
souri, river from Sioux city to Fort Benton
has been confined to theupper portion of the
river, with view to either increase the
depth over the rapids on that portion of the
river bydamming the water back or to sweep
awaythe shoals of sand by concentrating the
current These operations so far have been
successful, but work has been suspended,
owing to the exhaustion of the appropri-
alton. Operations for the improvement of
the Missouri river from its mouth to Sioux
City have been confined to the construction
of reventment for protecting against the
caving of the banks in st. Joseph and Kan
sas City, Missouri. This work will be con-
tinued until the stone covering deemed es
sential to protect the reventment from ice
and floods is completed. The commission
says the amount of money availa-
in progress is not larger than should
be retained to meet emergencies which
may occur at any time, and that general
resumption of work is therefore impossible
until congress makes additional appropria-
hons. In this connection it says that not
more than six months work can be done on
the Missouri river in each year, and that
work can not be begun before April
1st. Moreover, it requires consid-
cradle dale to get the plant in
working order, to make preliminary
arrangements to engage skilled men, etc.
As the appropriation for the current fiscal
is recommended that 80 per cent of the
amount asked for the coming fiscal year
be appropriated and made Immediately
available. The total amount asked for the
next fiscal year is 81 1896 900 The amount
available on November 30, 1885, for contill-
ning the improvement of the rivel was

Terrible Storm.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 21.-One of the
severest storms that has ever occurred on
this coast began Sunday, and reached its
height this afternoon, extending from
the northern boundary Of Washing
ton territory to the southern boundary of
California and from the Rocky mountains
to the Pacific ocean. The storm was one
panied by wind, which from five
miles all hour, gradually increased until
about 80 this afternoon, when it blew a
hurricane, the wind attaining velocity of
eighty-two miles an hour. The storm was
predicted by the signal service, and eau
tionary storm signal was displayed from
the flag of the Merchants exchange
building. Due to this timely notice. many
vessels postponed their departure from
here. and thus escaped the dangers of the
storm, s.g

New Shoes or No "Mikado..

]; DETROIT, January la.-At the Princes,
theatre matinee Saturday afternoon Miss
Grace Atherton, the Katisha in Pyke's 1'Mi-
kado" company, left the stage and walked
down the centre aisle into the midst of
the audience, showing her feet, and cali
ing attention to the ragged leather shoes
she wore. He face was white with pas
sion. ,r.--.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Detroit
public" she shrieked. II leave the stage
this moment, because nay manager will not
give me $40 to buy pair Of Shoes"
She waved her arms furiously for mo-
ment and then continued: You may all go
home. This play can't SO on without me,
and l am going to stop"
The orchestra struck up lively air, but
Katisha refused to sit down and she went
Oh down the aisle, berating the eompany's
management. The audience sat amazed.
At the door of the house Miss Atherton en-
.countered an acquaintance who Rursuaded
her to go back and allow the performance
to proceed, which she did after breaking
into tears. 1t seems that Pyke's company
have had hard time of it recently, and
about all the management has been able to
do was to pay board and travelling expenses,
and salaries are therefore behind.

L.IBOR TROUBLES.
Battle Between Officers and Striking Hun
garian Miners In Pennsylvania.


garian Miners In Pennsylvania.
PITTSBURGH, PENN, Jan. 2O.-A dis
patch from Mt. Pleasant tonight says: Sher-
iff Stewart and forty deputies, and Drtec-
tive Brophy, with twenty armed police
from Pittsburgh, had desperate conflict
wish 25O strikers this afternoon, who at
tackled men at tile Alice works in the
morning. The rioters rested for dinner,
then they massed at the Mutual works,
near Stoneville. At this point, negro,
without provocation, fired at the Hungar-
ians with shot gun, but failed to hit any
one. They surrounded his house, dragged
the negro out, beat him fearfully, and left
him for dead, with his skull fractured. He
will probably die. Ats O'clock the strik-
ers passed up toward Norwood, fourlshing
all kinds of weapons, from reyolvers to case
scrapers. They were headed by Stephen
Stannix, the main agitator of the strike.
When they reached shaft GA" of the
Moorewood mines they encountered sixty
two deputy sheriffs and policemen drawn
up for battle. Detective Brophy talked to
the foreigners, telling them how useless it
was TO resist, and that he would arrest the
ring leaders. Brophy arrested one striker,
which opened the ball. The combat was
hand to hand, but the officers won, arrest
ing thirteen men and one woman, who

and several Hungarians injured, how

away by their companions. One officer

| tiles. it is stated, have telegraphed
for more officers. The strike is only
inaHgurated, and more bloodshed is feared.
| Some excitement was OccasiOned by the
stupid report that the Hungarians were act
| ing under orders from the Chicago lodge Of
socialists, and that the dynamite taken
from loves magazine during the recent
raid was to be used in blowing up the COM
pany's property. The story is generally
| discredited. The operators have an en-
tirely different class to deal with in this
strike, as the Hungarians when drunk are
| unmanageable and more like fends~ than
men. In the former strikes this element
was not in the field, and the operators had
more intelligent men to deal with. A feel
ing of insecurity prevails, and citizens near
| various threatened districts are arming
| themselves and otherwise preparing to de-
fend their homes as best they may.

The Broken Bank.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 19.-Devils Lake, Dakota,
special to the Pioneer Press: The collapse
of the Bank of Dakota has not seriously af-
fected business here. Not only is there
nothing approaching a financial panic, but
collections are reported easy and no busi-
ness interests will suffer materially. AS
far as can be learned, the bank has not
overdrawn its reserve credits with their
New York, ST. Paul or Minneapolis cores
pondents. They had no Chicago CORES
pondent. The banks deposits were consid-
erably scattered, and aggregate $4,000, a
less sum than at any time, perhaps for the
past year. The low price of wheat caused
few sales, and farmers generally were hand
ling little money. The bank had shipped
during the season about twenty-five car
loads of wheat to Duluth, serving as agent
for the farmers, but the wheat
receipts of cash remittances in payment
had been sent direct to the farmers The
bank is nnder the care of the sheriff, and
in thirty days an exert will be appointed

Cashier Corsett will post the books of Sat
tnrday's business, under direction of the
sheriff, and the balances will be announced
