A MOUNTED TROOP PROBABLE
A Movement on Foot to Get Tn a
Troop Of Cavalry in Great
Fails.
The State Is ut Present Without ANY
Cavalry-State Aid Will be
Asked,

A movement has taken shape within
the last few weeks to organize a troop Of
mounted state militia in this city. Such
experienced military mon as F. d.
Shiras, who has been an officer in the
Second Illinois, a crack cavalry regiment
OF that state, Capt. Jensen, formerly in
command OF the local infantry company
here, and several other gentlemen in
terested in military affairs, have taken
the matter up and several meetings have
been held to discuss the feasibility of the
plan.
The law in this state provides for ten
companies OF infantry, two Of cavalry
and one OF artillery, but at present the
state has neither cavalry or artillery,
both these branches OF the service hay-
ing been mustered out some time 2 O
The saddles, carbines and full equip
ment for two companies Of calvary now
lie in the state arsenal at Helena how
ever, and it is felt that the parsimonious
policy which resulted in mastering out
the cavalry companies by the state was
a mistake which is now realized by the
state authorities, and that the chances
are good that at the next meeting of
the legislature a sufficient appropriation
could be secured to put a first class
cavalry troop in good shape. The
want of cavalry was surely felt in
the recent Coxey troubles, and
there are occasions likely to oc.
cur in which it might be neces-
sary for the state to send a force
with all possible dispatch to a point dis.
tant from railroad communications. The
sentiment expressed at the recent meet
ings already referred to was that the
time was ripe for the organization Of a
good cavalry troop in Great Falls, that
material in plenty was at hand for such
an organization and that all that was
needed was proper encouragement from
the state authorities, which it was
thought, could be obtained. An effort
will be made to secure a liberal ap.
preparation for this purpose from the
next legislature and meantime it is like
ly that some kind Of temporary organ
ization may be effected with the purpose
Of forwarding the plan to have such a
company stationed here.

YALE MEN WAVED FLAGS.
The English Court journal Thinks
IL Wasn't Dignined.

There is nothing like an interna tional
contest for producing bursting enthusl-
asn. says the English Court Journal,
and we have never had a scene upon
any English athletic ground to equal
that which was witnessed on Monday,
the occasion OF the oxford and Yale
sports at Queens club. The stand where
the American visitors had chosen 10
muster had strange aspect: II was
filled with people more or less smart,
but all intensely patriotic.
The outward symbols which mark ed
the paTtlsans OF Yale were blue silk
cloths embroidered with the name OF
the American university; these the
ladies' hung over the front OF the stands
or caught up TO wave when occasion re-
quired. Corniiowers In huge market
punches were hung about the persons
of the "Yaleites," regardless OF effect or
expense; The men presented a most
undigniied appearance, with the Stars
and Stripes" tied to their umbrellas or
bundled under their arms, ready to he

crowd.

scarcely contain themselves, and when
the Union Jack was holsted released

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 16.-The Ben
nington is detained outside. the Golden
Gate. having on board Antonio Ezeta,
and three other fugitives from San Sal
vador. The gunboat was met and de-
tanned by an aide to the Mare Island
Commandant with secret orders.
Gen. Ezeta and his brother refugees
viewed the approach of the tug Sea
King, carrying the aide. with apprehen-
sion, which was changed to consterna-
ton when they learned that the gun
boat was to be detained at sea awaiting
the arrival from Washington of docu.
ments affecting their freedom.
They made attempts to send letters
ashore by the crew of the Sea King, but
Commodore Thomas. OF the Benning
ton, kept them carefully under his eve
and frustrated their plans.
The arrival from Washington of war
rants for the arrest OF the four refugees
is now eagerly awaited. Not until they
arrive, 1t Is said. will Lieut.. Stoney paw
any further visit to the Benning ton, and
no one but an accredited Official from

be transferred from the Remington to
her decks and will never set foot on

WHO FELT THE EARTHQUAKE?
New York, 1t Was Predicted, Would
Be Rent Asunder To-Day.
Buildings Seem to BE Safe and Pro.
fessor Falb Is Missing.

Don't get excited II you feel the ground
trembling under your feet to-day. The
trembling may mean that Prof Falb's
prediction that New York Is to be des-
troyed by an earthquake to-day is com
ing true. or 1t may not. If you are
sporty" and are cocksure that the
trembling is not in your knees instead
Of the ground, hurry right down to Park
Row. just opposite the north end of the
Post-Office. and place bet with the
bookmaker you will find standing there
This bookmakcr Is offering iOJ to that
Falb isn't in 1t at the finish OF the day.
Now. Prof Falb Is an Austrian
prophet Of more or less renown, and he
is running a close race with Prophets
Virgins and De Voc in predicting dire
things which he declares the fates are
about to precpitate upon this unhappy
tarin-tortured continent. and particu-
larry upon New York city.
There Is some doubt AZ to the present
whereabouts of Prof. Talb. but 1t Is safe
to presume that he isn't in New York
to-day If he has any faith in his own
prediction.
His forebodngs OF evil were given to
the western world through the medium
OF an obscure newspaper published In
Indiana. This fact. however, should not
give rise to a suspicion that Prof. Fab
is press agent in disguise for ex-Presl-
dent Harrison for had he meant to pre-
dict q political earthquake he would
have fixed the time in November instead
of In August.
To allay whatever OF fear may have
been occasioned by the reprinting of
Prof. Falb's prediction in Eastern news

noted, and collected fine. large assert
