The most unamerican thing about the
banquet was loud-voiced tout who an
nounced the toasts, addressing the diners
each time as Mr.. Chairman, my lord duke
and gentlemen, my lord duke being he
OF Sutherland and unpleasant American
memory. George sheperd Page, of New
York, the vice chairman of the dinner
also succeeded in exaggerating the asinin-
ity with which nature endowed hin in pro-
posing the health of the prince and prin-
cess of Wales. Pages laudation OF Albert
Edwards was 80 fulsome and enthusiastic
that even the Englishmen present wer'
compelled TO laugh at his most eioqueui
periods. Consul General New proposed
the health of the guest of the evening in |
short and happy speech. He briefly re.
viewed Stanley's career and presented
dag and shield, the gift of the diners ts
their guest.

News has reached Denver OF the burst
ing of q reservoir nine miles above Gunni-
son. The accident was caused by the
breaking of drainage pipe. Indications
of the break we're noticed several days ago
and men were detailed to watch and
strengthen the weak places as much a.
possible. When the break came they
FASTENED to Gunnison to inform the in
habilants of their danger. The reservoir
was i've miles long, about one and hall
broad and twenty feet deep. The people
hurriedly dressed themselves, seizea what
they could carry, and driving and leading
their anaimals, rushed to place OF safety
Just in time to escape the torrents which
swept fences, bridges aud every movable
object before IL. The destruction OF prop
srty will be very great, and there are fears
THAI lives may be lost at chdstianburg.

Now Ranninx wide Opsn--The Residents
to Institute strict Warfare.
DxADwooD. q. D. June 3
There was q meeting held In the sirenix
court room af Dsadwood Sunday afternoon
for the purpose OF taking preliminary steps
toward organizing What Ii known as an
enforcement league. The principal OBJ
isct Of the league In TO enforce prohibition.
There is state organisation known as the
South Dakota enforcement league, and the
meeting held sunday was for the purpose
OF establishing an auxiliary 20 the state
society. Attorney T.. w. Martin, being .
member OF the state central committee Of
the league, presided. The room waspacked
with citizens OF every turn Of mind, and
there were salooH keepers, ministers, pro-
hibitionists, capitalists, hdies, Cinnamon
and negroes In the throng. The majority
OF those present were liberal on the whisky
question and they had dropped 10 to listen.
In fact il had been whispered that the anti
prohibitionists would pack the convention
and that some lively debates would take
place. But as 90 this proposition every one
was fooled. IL was purely O one-man show.
Mr.. Martin did all OF the talking, and
after explaining what the league was for he
invited any one present who desired TO
speak. There being NO response, he hnr-
riedly adjourned the meeting TO church
around the corner and proceeded 20 elect
officers. Twenty six names were enrolled,
q number Of them being women. None Of
the saloonkeepers went into the church.
One saloon man said: What we ought
to have done was 10 have signed the con-
stituiion and Joined the league. We
would then have had three votes to the
prohibitionists' one, and could have elected
our kind Of people to Office and run the
league 10 suit ourselves" The league pro.
poses 20 raise funds at once and begin q
vigorous war against the sale of liquor In
Deadwood and Lawrence county. The
saloons here are run wide open and pay no
license whatever. One or two places make
q bluff at dealing out drinks in original
packages. while others cell II the same as
when they were licensed. The original
packages are filled by the saloon men
here. The bottles are of different sizes,
holding from one 10 dozen drinks. The
bottle is opened by the customer, who is
furnished with the customary soda drink.
The bottles are left and refilled at the
leisure Of tbs bartender.

Arguments in the original package case
OF the State VS.. Chambers, were heard by
Judge Kavanaueh at Des Moines and the
opinion will soon be filed. The arguments
were made on an agreed statement of fact
and tho only point involved was as 10 the
Interpretation Of the original pack age
decision by the United States supreme
court. The defendants attorney relies
entirely upon the state supreme courts
decision in the case of State va. Collins,
In which the court, through the opinion Of
Judge Reed, held that IL original packages
could be sold within the state then IL
mattered not how small the packages were
nor whether they were shipped In cases or
separate and further that 1t would be legal
20 ship liquor into the state In tank cars
and draw II OF in packages to suit the
purchaser. Under this decision Chsmbors
claims the right to import beer Ia barrels
and sell II by the bcstle,' and TO import
whisky In kegs aud draw il into such size
bottles as the purchaser may desire. He
does not claim the right, as has been re-
ported, to sell by the drink.
