DeI On August 8, 1872. He was educated In "A
French school at philadelphia, and aerwad at West
Point being graduated from the latter Institution
in 1888. After brief military service he resigned
his commission in June, 1884. and entered the i'm
portani sunpowdcr factory which his father had cS-
tabllshed on the Brandywine River. A few months
later his father died. and Henry Dupont and his elder

once assumed absolute control Of the militia, and
ordered that every military organization I'm the State
should Immediately enter tho Federal Service AMI
that every indy dual member thereof should take
tho oath OF allegiance to the Federal Government
under pain of summary expulsion from the service.
This angered the Bourbon Democrats, and every posi-
bic influence was brought to bear against General
Dupont: but in VAN. They even organized an In
slrcrtion against him: but tho leaders of 1t wero
quickly clapped into Jail. General Dupont thus rem

GOVERNOR WHITES REPORT.

SHOW ing How Mountains Has Advanced in
= single Year.
From the Helena Journal,
The most ID annual report ever
sent to the secretary of the interior by u
governor of Montana is about ready tai be
forwarded by Governor White. II treats
more of the resources, improvements. and
other statistics than any previous docu-
ment of the kind. Being tho last report
to Ike forwarded by the territorial governor
from Montana, extra pains and care have
been AIKEN with il. and n most interesting
paper will he the result. There are some
figures yet tn he received, and the report
will not he completed for u day ar two.
All the esourcc OF our great state are
fully and thoroughly treated, as also
full statistics given of the wealth, .popula-
ton and all other interests Of the state.
The population of the state is given at
$4,000 whites 10000 Indians 1900. The
vote of last year is taken as n basis.
which was 4O,O14. This, witt the present
immigration. will no doubt make, the pop
ulation at the next census exceed 2oO.OoO.
The number of live stock owned in the
state is estimated at 3.G2O,OOO, divided rs
foliows: Horses 2D.O0o, sheep 2.i5o,OoO.
placed at ai"ns sso.%oo.oSo.
The total wealth OF Montana is placed
at about sl5o.O0.OoO. and the assess.d val
uatiou last fall was So ,UOO.OOO. This is,
of course, outside of the mines, MontaIia's
greatest producing interests, which are
exempt from taxation. The total Indcbt-
ness OF the territory Is only S1,JJO.OnO.
Irrigation, railroads and other general
matters are also thoroughly treated. In
the first named important question the
governor makes several important s,IH-
Rcstions and makes IL u special point. He
Recommended that il Inc left to state juris-
diction and that all control he left tai the
state officials, as they are better prepared,
by knowledge Of the land and its requires
ments, to deal with and control the
matter.
The mileage of the railroads i'm Mon
tala i'm operation il reported as Ky
miles, with 2gs nlii,s i'm process Of con-
struction and s55 miles surveyed. The
full report will he published in a. few

Gun SQUADS Hunting Mad Dogs.

NEW MARTINsvILLE, W. Va. March g.
Notwithstanding the fact that from two TO
three hundred dogs suspected of being
mad. or infected TO some degree with rabies.
have been killed in this (WetzeD county
during the past thirty days. the interior of
the county still seems to be overrun with
CANNES in a dangerous condition. and the
alarm of the people is general. There has
been q considerable loss of live stock-cat-
tie. swine and sheep-which have died from
the effects of bites inflicted by infected
dogs. and i'll two instances horses have sue
cumbed. Several people have also been bit
ten, but in N instance. as yet, has any
serious result followed. Farmers consider
it dangerous to go along the roads unarmed.
and dog-killing squads are out daily. One
man had seven dogs, all believed to bemad:
they were taken to the woods, where they
are running wild with dozens of other dogs
in a like condition. These dogs spread tho
disease by biting other CANNES. live stock,
etc, and what the end will be is hard to
f~oretell. The disease first made Its appear
ance on Fishing creek, last August, and has
been growing worse steadily.

The Southern California Gold Field.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 6.-The gold ex-
element in lower California. near Ensena-
da. is increasing, and many people are flock
ing from San Diego to the gold fields. Work
on the Cuyamaca, San Diego q Eastern
railroad is stopped, and the wOrkmen are
leaving in a body for the mines. Steamers
between San Diego and Eensenada have
doubled their rates, but the rush continues.
and stages are now running overland cary
ing many persons direct to the mines. The
San Diego papers declare that the develop
ment covers over one hundred miles square
and that placer miners are making a great
deal of money. Thirteen thousand dollars
and San Diego yesterday. Nearly all the
California papers have urged the people to
be cautious about rushing into the mines,
owing to the fact that many of the recently
reported mines in California failed to carry
out the first indications of wealth, but
there seems to be no question but that the
people in the southern portion of the State
now believe that a new and really profita.
BILE gold field has been discovered.
