Owing TO very heavy and continuous rains
during the past two or three DAYS Dead
wood was for time threatened with q
repetition Of the scenes OF the great Hood
OF 1883, when residences, brick buildings
and other improvements were swept away.
Early last evening IL became evident that
W wildwood creek was raising to such an
extent that unless prompt action was
taken there would be much loss OF prop
erty. The velocity Of the water was so
great that IL carried everything In It's track.
This morning il was thought that nothing
would save the Times block, aud the difaer-
emit occupants OF the building commenced
moving their effects. A large force OF men
was then set TO work repairing tina dam
ages 20 the bulkhead at the east approach
OF Deadwood street bridge, wnich. .bnikhead
and approach were rapidly being washed
away, and By noon q temporary bnikbead
was constructed so that the bridge and APP
proaeh still stand. Had this bridge given
away entirely nothing would have saved
the Times block and other buildings.
The Deadsood Central railroad for dis
tance Of two miles Is so badly washed away
at places that 1t will take q week TO repair

The water has subsidized to such an ex-
tent thar there is practically no more dam

the creek for the entire distance Is intact,
thereby proving lie great value to the

An important traffic arrangement has

the Northwestern and the Union Pacific
systems, better time has been made
from Chicago and Omaha and from
Minneapolis and Sc. Paul 70

naturally been that great inroads have been

A letter from Maj. Wissman, the Ger

that the presence of cruisers on the east

The Debate Continued in the
House on Silver as q
Money Metal.
The Gentleman From Illinois Point
edly Explains the Difference
In Duty and Policy.
He Reminds the House That the
Bill Must Go To the Other
End OF the Capitol.

WAsfuNaToN, June 2.
In the house, before beginning the debate
ON the silver bill, az tho request OF Payson,
Of Illinois, Conger, of Iowa, in charge of
the bill, modified his substitute so as TO
provide that the treasurery notes
issued in pursuance Of the bill
shall be legal tender In payment
Of all debts, public and private, striking
out the followiug words: Except where
otherwise expressly stipulated IN the con-
tract" Payson said that he realized that
the substitute would in substance
pass this body, and IL would be doae In
obedience 10 public sentiment, which he
believed to be universal In favor
of q larger use of silver as
money metal and of the further
increase OF the currency OF the country.
II the government used silver at ell, IL
should be used az money metal and not as
o commodity. He was opposed to the
substitute because Of that, but that he ex-
pected 10 give IL his support In this CON-
tinRency. He hoped that sup
port and unity would be given TO
strike out the bullion redemption
feature. This bill was bound TO be con-
sidered af tho other end Of the capitol. II
would be amended there aud the house
would have the opportunity to vote on the
amen dments.

WARRINGTON. June7.
Representative Carter. of Montana, has
received telegram from Hon. Joe Scott,
of Miles City. announcing that o Mr. Fer
euson, prominent stock raiser near the
Northern Cheyenne Indian agency. had
been killed by the Indians; that the Indians
we're apprehensive OF arrest aud we're get
ting ready to so on the war-path; settlers
were leaving the vicinity and seeking
refuge la the distant towns. Mr. Scott
asked that the war department furnish
troops to protect protest property and life
and to arrest the guilty Indians. Repre-
sentative Carter aud Senator Sanders went
to the war department and laid the case
before the secretary and urged
that troops be sent Immediately from Gus
ter and Keogh TO the reservation. The
secretary promised TO give the matter his
early attention. There has been ill-feeling
between settlers aud Indians for years.
These Indians were once removed 10 In
dian territory, but cat loose In 1883 and
went across country to their old reserva-
tion, where they were located by executive
order. During their absence white settlers
went on the reservation, and have never
removed, and the title is still ia dispute.
Carter has been urging the Iudian bureau
to take some steps toward the removal of
the Indians or take some decisive action in
the case. 1t is expected that some out
rage would follow the present relations,
which would spur the government 10 take
some action. The Indian burean is now
in correspondence with the war depart
ment in reference 10 the northern Chey-
ennes and the protection of people living
near the reservation.
