weather during the past week the sus.
picion arises, that Melbourne, the rain

into trouble, for we've ordered fine
weather from the weather bureau and
don't propose to brook any interference.

THE DOG IN THE MANaER.

A trihe less than half column of the
valuable space of the last issue Of the
Mining News, Hill City, was de-.
voted to vituperious attack upon Gus
ter and Custer people. The CHRONICLE
sees no necessity o: denying at length
the silly statements which make up the
article. Their utter falsity need not be
urged upon the readers Of either the
CHRONICLE or the Mining News, and the
dog in the manger" policy Of the latter
sheet is already generally understood
and regretted. Neither do We deem it
within our province to retaliate by
heaping abuse upon Hill City and
her citizens. The CHRONICLE is here to
labor i'll the interests of Custer. first,
last, and at all times, and to do what it
can toward the development of the re-
sources, and the upbuilding of the in
dustries of the Hills at large. We do
not think that this can be accomplished
by the misrepresentation of any locality,
or the discouragement Of any enterprise
or movemont set on foot, no matter what
obtacles may be in its way, or how un-
promising is may seem in its infancy.
1t has become quite evident that the
Mining News has adopted an opposite
policy, and neglects the interest of its
own locality in its feeble endeavors to
injure those Of its neighbors. We feel
sorry for newspaper that must exist
under such circumstances, and doubly
sorry for community upon which its
presence is long inflicted.

The congressional situation in the

ten days must elapse before the holding

time it seems that the most available of
the numerous names that have been sug-
gested is that of Jas. w. Fowler of Rapid
City. The others who have been spoke
of as candidates have either declined
the honor, or the mention Of their names
have been the signul for the pouring
forth Of volley Of abuse from some
opposing faction. Mr.. Fowler has con-
sented to the use of his name, his loyalty
to the party cannot be challenged by
any one, and he is in every way qualifi-
ed to ably represent the great State of
South Dakota, in congress. The CHRoN-

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The fact that
no word was received at the navy depart
ment today from the Charleston is taken
as an indication that she has gone on
down the Peruvian coast towards Callao.
Respecting the reiterated statements from
Paris to the effect that the insurgents
have arranged to surrender the ltata to
United States naval authorities when she
reaches Chill, the officials OF the navy
department stand mute. II may be
stated, however. that there have been no
negotiations between this government and
the ChIlian insurgents upon the subject.
Still it is plainly evident that some kind
of an understanding has been, or is ex-
pected 10 be reached, which will result
in the easy transfer OF the Itata to either
Admiral Mccain or Admiral Brown
should she reach Chill. This. of course,
would not take the shape of a formal
agreement. but an intimatiou may already
have been conveyed to our naval officers
at l%auique by the insurgents that such n
course wilkbe pursued .and doubtless this
has formed the basis of many OF the
c~ablegrams that have passed between
Washington and lquIque during the last
two weeks.
