New Mining Assessment Law.

The bill suspending mining
assessment work for the year 1894
has become a law. 1t amends Sec
ton 1924 Of the revised statutes,
so that no mining claim which
has been regularly located and re-
corded as required by the local
laws and mining regulations shall
be subject to forfeiture for non
performance of the annual asess-
ment for the year eighteen hundred
and ninety-four. Provided that
the claimant or claimants of any
mining location, in order to secure
the benefits of this act, shall cause
to be recorded in the office where
the location notice or certificate is
filed on or before December 31st,
1894, a notice that he or they in
good faith intend. to hold and work
said claim"
South Dakota is excepted from
the operations of the law. ~
The important point for miners
to observe is that they are required
to file notice of their intention to
hold and work their claims, in or
der to secure the benefit of the sus-
pension act.

COMPANY Il BANQUET.
| Speeches, Fun and a Good Time
Generally.

Company E gave Its annual banquet
at Arion hail last night. There were
fully hundred in attendance. Accord
ing to time-honored custom the banquet
was preceded with punch. History
states that even the Father of His Coun-
try did not disdain to indulge in the
punch bowl at times, and in this respect
Company E had worthy precedent to
follow.
For five years Company E has OBJ
served this pleasing custom of giving
annual banQuets. to which all old mem
bers are invited. On April "a. 1882,
Company E was organized, and of the
original company seven were present
last night. These were: c. A. Clark,
Dutch" Damon. r. p. Kellogg, j. A.
Rogers, Ed Mott, c. H. Finehout
and Irwin Beaumont. Lieut.. Con-
rad, of Company K, at Saltwater,
was also present TO partake of the cheer
offered by his brotherS-in-arms. Irwin
Beaumont was not lacking in his
penchant for furnishing something
| original, for he is always that. This
| tine it was a speech on the national
guard. All the old members were
| called on for remarks, and there was q
| flow of wit and no end of fun generally.
Many practical suggestions were made,
| and the occasion will be long remem-
! bered.
Judge Cory put in an appearance, and
was greeted with hearty cheer. j. A,
| Wolfe, the candidate for alderman in
the Eighth ward on the Democratic
| ticket, put in an appearance, and was
| greeted with ardent enthusiasm

and so they Gid. Nearly every
consplrator went about telling his
friends-on the streets. in the horse
cars. anywhere-that the next day
Peixoto was to be hnmbled nd the
revolution was to be successful. The
British, who are very intimate with the
rebels, were of course notified, and the
two principal banks went so far as
to post notices informing their
clerks that they need not come to busi-
ness on Monday if there was heavy fir.
ing. Of course, in less than an hour
every one i'll the commercial quarter
knew that something was going to hap
pen on Sunday and Monday. And, of
course. the government knew it TOO.
Even then the plot came near succeeding
through the influence of another opera
bonffe idea. On The stage, as all know,
murderer may openly form his plot on
| ono side while the victim complacently
makes love on the other. 1t would,
however. be contrary to all precedent
| for the victim to Overhear the murderer
| and spoil the denouement. So
! in Brazil. 1t seemed somehow
| discover the plot before the rebels were
ready, and, consequently, prevent the
| fun. Hence. all day Sunday nothing
/ was done or said to obstruct the success
! of the uprising. 1t was only on Sun
day evening, when the rebel fleet
| anchored close to the city that any
action was taken. The suspected
{, regiments were then moved and a
| plumber of arrests of officers and citI-
! zents were made. 1t is said that fifteen
| officers were shot. A member of Presi-
! dent PeixOto's cabinet informed the AS
S0ciated Press correspondent positively
and mysteriously tnat fifteen persons
were really shot and another minister,
with equal emphasis declared that noue

Peixoto Nips q Rebel Plot in tn
Rnh

Peixoto Nips q Rebel Plot in the
Bud.
New YORK, March 49, The following
letter has been received from the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Rio de
Janeiro:
Rio de Janeiro, Feb. 14.-When the
unsophisticated young person from
thirst attends an opera and sees a
gang of conspirators openly discussing
their plot on the street corners,
or hears a tribe of robbers singing
at the top of their voices, not to make
any noise, he thinks the whole thing
nonsense. But, if the aforesaid young
man could spend few weeks watching
a Brazilian revolution he might come to
think the opera real life after all.
An instance i'll point has recently oc-
CURED here. 1t was in connection with
a proposed uprising in the city, in
favor of the rebels. in which number
of citizens and few officers of the ma
tional guard were involved. 1t was
really very pretty little plot,
and there was no earthly rea-
son why it should not have sue
ceeded. if the cons pirators had used or.
binary common sense. The details of
the plot were worked out on Friday
night. The citizens, with arms under
their coats, were to go on Monday morn.
ing to the San SentO, Conceicao and
Sande Hills, garrisoned by the govern
ment. The officers there in the
plot were to admit them, and then
join them with as many of their soldiers
as they could persuade to do so. The
other soldiers were to be overpowered
or killed. The rebel fleet at the first
shot. or at given signal, was to hurry
in and land its men to help the potters.
Their total force would be somewhat
over thousand, but it would occupy a
strong position, and would probably be
ranidly increased by volunteers from
the city. So far, the plot was strictly
business. But now. the opera element
comes in. To the exuberant Brazilian
mind, plot so we'll laid must succeed
ergo. it had already succeeded; ergo,
they might as well boast about it.

PURIFIERS UNION

The furriers' union held a very en-
thusiastic meeting at Labor hall last
night which was very largely attended.
1t was called by the organization COM
mittee of the trades and labor assembly.
The purpose of the meeting was the re-
organization of the union. National
Organizer BantZ, of the federation of
labor and other able speakers made ad-
dresses. William Couradi, OF the cigar
makers union, spoke in opposition to the
Wilson bill, claiming that it would be
inimical to furriers. Mr.. Sprenger ad-
vocated the benefits of organization, as
did Mr.. Bantz.

wholesalers, who operate from May l to
Sept. l, and the retailers, who do duty

CLAIM CHAMPIONSHIP.
st. Paul Boys Insist That Winona
Should Play Here.

The indoor base ball team of Com
panies G and &, whose recent contest
with the picked team at Winona for the
championship of the state resulted in
tie. each team winning two games out
of four. were not satisfied with the re-
suit. To settIe,if possible. the question
of the tie, the St. Paul team has been in
correspondence with the Winona team.
They offered the same terms as were
given at Winona. These covered the
railroad fares of the St Paul team and
their expenses while at Winona. In
reply to the lette- written. the Winona
team state that they will not come
to st. Paul this season, bnt desire the
St. Paul team to come up again to Wi
mona, ana play off :he tie. The latter
decline to do this, feeling that it is no
more than proper that the Winona team
should come here. The st. Paul team
announces that it shall lay claim to the
championship OF the state. This the
team stands ever ready to defend.

OUR SHIPS AT RIO
Will Depart for other Ports at
an Early Date.


WASHINGTON, March 19-The Amer
lean fleet at Rio, the largest assembled
in foreign port since the war. will be
thing of the past in a day or two. and
the ships will be scattered north and
south. The San Francisco was the first
to get away, and she sailed yesterday
for Bluefields, with Admiral Benham
ABOARD. She will stop att st. Lucia, near
Barbados, for coal. 1t was the inten-
tion of the navy department to keep the
remaining vessels at Rio for a week or
two longer, until 1t was certain that no
further trouble was to be apprebended.
But this programme was abandoned
this afternoon upon the receipt OF the
following cablegram from Capt. Phil
lips. OF the New York, the commanding
officer of the feet after Benham'S de-
parture:
Rio Janeiro. March 19.-Secretary OF
the Navy. Washington, ID. e: Rio
harbor is clear of foreign men-of-war,
except the New York and the Charles
ton. The Detroit will sail for Hampton
ROADS. The Portuguese vessel was the
last to leave. 1t is reported here that
Da Cana was passenger on her. The
fever is increasing in violence. ana has
reached the epidemic state so that tine
British steamers coming northward will
| not touch at Rio. 1t does not appear
| that there remains any further necessity
| for keeping all American man-0f-wal
| here, as the inSurrection has been put
| down, and longer stay of the vessels
| would be iniudicious. PHILLIPS.
Immediately upon receipt of this dis
| patch. Secretary Herbert sent orders Il
/ the New York to proceed north 10 thu
| West Indies. She will probably toucl
| at 81. Nicholas mole or some other Dor
! and receive further orders. The Charles
ton was directed to go south to Monte
video. where she will probably get order
to proceed to the Pacific station. Th
| Newark. now at MontevideO. will re
main there as the flagship of the station
supported by the Yantic.

Football Practice.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 49,
Capt. Hinkey, of the football team,
gave out notice to the candidates that
football squads would be formed i'm
mediately after the Easter recess. and
will practice until June. Weekly con-
tests will be held and prizes awarded
for the best records IN drop kicking and
other work. Hinkey says that the fall
term proves too short for development
in punting and training for backs, and
the spring squad has now become a
necessity.

Mcmillan, of the Daytons, made
twenty-four straight strikes. but was
unfortunate enough to leave one pin
standing Oh the second ball rolled in
each of the last TWO innings. But for
his hard luck i'll these innings he would

former made an average per man of 1914

were the winners III score of 1.195 to
