a Miniature Gevscv

- @ -
Chamberlain, S. d., April ia Meade
county papers says hat what appears to
be a miniature geyser has been discov-
cred in the mountains two miles south of
Sturgis. 1t is situated upon the top of a
mountain and gives forth steam and
hot air at stated intervals. The snow is
melted away from its mouth for thirty or
forty feet in each direction, vegetation
having been kept green all winter by the
warmth of the rocks surrounding 1t. The
party who discovered it refuses to reveal
the location until he has completed the
necessary preliminaries toward securing
geyser Is probably somewhat similar to
the natural artesian springs which are
found at several places In the bluffs along
the Missouri river, the water in the latter
also being warm enough to keep vegeta-
ton green during the coolest weather. The
only differeice is that the geyser is report
ed to spout water and steam, while the
natural springs have a steady flow.

FLATBoAT TO NEW ORLEANS
odd Outing OF a Newly Married Pair
and Their Friends.

Ottawa, H., April %il.--l'or two weeks
James Brown and Walter Williams have
been industriously hammering and saving
at a small pile of ulnbe lying on the north
bank of the Illinois river, near the mouth
OF the Fox. They have just tinised con-
structing a "flatboat" OF the genuine pio-
neer type and the first one that has been
built at Ottawa since the days of the Pot
tawatomies. So quite naturally the odd
looking craft has attracted considerable
attention. The party expects to start dow
the Illinois on a trip which will take them
to New Orleans before it is ended. They
mean to indulge in a hunting and fishing
trip such as few men have enjoyed.
Brown and Williams are we'll educated
young lei of good appearance. For some
months they ave been coasting about,
engaged in trapping and hunting in the
state of Wisconsin. Planning a summer
jaunt, they decided to float down the Hi
nois and Mississippi rivers. They came
from Milwaukee to Ottawa, the head of
navigation, about fou weeks ago.
The f1atboat has cost them about $50
for materials. 1t is sc feet long by 10 feet
wide and is Z feet in the clear in the cabin
part. 1t is realty and comfortably fur
nished with sleeping and cooking apart
ments, while many little knickknacks sug-
gest something much different than a
mere hunting trip.

.,lE INQUIRY
on of Naval Affairs
Committee,
hndred Dollars a Ton Seems
90 High Price for Armor
Plate = Employment OF
Naval Cticers.
.>lE INQUIRY

Washington. April 13.-The senate
committee on naval affairs held a secret
session Saturday for the purpose of con-
sidering the testimony which has been
taken in connection with the armor
plate investigation. The only definite
conclusion reached was not to interfere
with the secretary of the navy in max
Ing contracts for armor for the Ken
lucky and the Kearsarge. but to allow
these to be given to private firms as
heretofore. These vessels are so far ad-
vanced on the construction that any in
reference would cause delay in their
completion and this the committee is
not willing to be responsible for.
The question OF future contracts, es-
pecially on the warships authorized by
the pending naval appropriation bill. is
the cause of considerable concern to the
committee. They feel that the price
about $500 per ~ton-which the govern
ment has been paying for ar1nor plate,
is too high, but " not founda feasible
way of reducing it. Their inNestiga-
lions. however, revealed the fact that
the cost of the manufacture of the plate
averages about $500 a ton. The manu-
facturers make the plea that the work
furnished is not sufficient to keep them
constantly employed and say that with
contracts running constantly for five or
ten years they could reduoe the price,
but not otherwise.
1t Is this state of affairs which has led
the committee to consider the adNisa-
bility of building a government plant.
The advice of the naval authorities has.
however, been opposed to his course.
AS a consequence the committee is IN
somewhat CT a quandary and the result
of it's deliberations is not yet i'm sight,
With reference to another branch OF
the committees inquiry, that touching
upon the employment of naval officers
by armor plate constructors. the COM
mlttee will, in all probability, report a
bill forbidding naval officers. active or
retired, to accept such employment. The
opinion is that the employment Is preju-
dicial to the interests of the navy.

Dcs Moines Contractor Puils.

Des Moines. April 13.--J. C. Mardis,
one of the Oldest building contractors
in his city. failed Saturday, with liza
bilities of about $4,000. The value of
assets Is doubtful. They consist most
ly of district school bonds. Too low a
bid on a large contract for erecting
school buildings is the cause of the fail
ure. Attachments and chattel mort
cages We're filed for an aggregate Of
about $4,000. He gave a chattel mort
gage of his property to thS Capital City

Gave the Railroad Judgment.

Sioux Falls, S. d., April BIN the
United States court Judge Riner made
a decision which is of considerable In
terest in the state. Caroline Montague
sued the Milwaukee railroad for $40, 900
damages for killing her husband. Mon
tague was at work in the railroad yards
at Madison, and was pushing q freight
a along the track when a switch of
two cars was made, and he was crushed
and killed. The company made the
point that Montague knew that switch-
ing was in progress and should have
looked out for himself. Judge Rincr,
without hearing argument, tool the
ease from the jury and decided for the
railroad.

CLEvELAND's OFFER TO SPAIN.
The President Proposes That Hc
Should Act ms Mediator.

The President Proposes That He
Should Act as Mediator.
Washington, April 11.-At last Presi-
dent Cleveland has taken action in be-
half of Cuba. He has made to Spain a
formal proposition that the good Offices
of the United States be accepted in me-
diation between thai country and her
rebelious colony in the West Indies.
This proposal was made in a cablegram
of Instructions to our minister at Mad
rid, MIR. Taylor, which was dispatched
today. No diplomatic dispatch OF
equal Importance has left his capital
since Secretary Olney's note to the Brit
ish government on the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was sent to London
last summer.
1t brings to a crisis the relations be-
tween the United States and Spain,
which have been unsettled since the out
break of the Cuban rebellion. The note
thoroughly explains the attitude of the
United States and the reasons which
have led to this action.
h principal points of the dispatch
are:
l. The president offers the good Of
fees OF the United states government
IN mediation between Spain and the
insurgents. with a view to a settlement
of the trouble and TO bringing about
peace in the island.
3. The note recalls the correspondence
between this government and Spain at
the time of the ten years war, when
President Grant and Secretary Fish pro-
posed mediation and the Spanish gov
eminent, though declining 10 accept 1t,
| yN.Nta.-AI 49, -. ra.-. - It,.i.n Thp
i fact that the United States was in part
instrumental in bringing about the set
tlement and the charge that the Span
ish government has not kept its prom
ises is given as a reason why the United
States now has a right to be heard in
the case.
3. 1t is pointed out that the present
rebellion in Cuba has assumed a much
more serious aspect than any former
instructions. the insurgents having ap-
rarently taken possession of all of the
island except Havana and a small sec
ton of country round about.
Spain is assured of the fact hat the
United States is actuated by only dis
interested motives and by a desire
throuh friendship to bring about a
more pacific and satisfactory STATE of
affairs in the island. Spain is urged 10
accept u good offices in the spirit in
which they are rendered and the hope
is expressed that The Spanish govern
ment will see its way to granting re-
forms in Cuba.
The president does not ask Spain to
grant the independence OF Cuba, nor
does he suggest hat home rule be ac-
corded the people of that lsland. He
leaves all these questions of method to
be discussed after Spain shall AVE eX-
pressed a willingness to accept media

I'M Cnnuress Erinax.

Washington, April 10.-The senate
took up the question of sectarian Indian
schools today. IL did not complete it.
The debate was very temperate n no
reference was made to the organization
which has been active in opposition to
sectarian schools. Senator Carter Of
Montana, proposed to strike Il the pro-
vision declaring that no money should
be spent on sectarian schools. This led
to a general argument in which Senators
Carter. Lodge, Hoar. Hawley and ALL
son participated.
An important bill passed at the close
of the day was that providing for a
trans-Missisippi and International ex-
position at Omaha, Neb., in 1898.

Robert Ed9rcn Throws the Hammer
an Astonishing Distance,

San Francisco, April 13.-Robert w.
Edgren of the University of Califor-
MIA has again Beaten the worlds ham.
mer-throwlng record. From the regula.
ton ~seven-foot ring he hurled a six.
~teen-pound hammer the astonishing
distance of 14s feet 5 inches. This was
over three feet farther than the worlds
and q foot farther than Edgren's pre-.
vious long throw which was discredited
by Mitchell, late of the New York Ath.
letic club. 1t was because of Mitchell's
doubts that it was arranged to have Ed.
gren make an effort to duplicate his feat
under circumstances that would leave
no room for caviling, even although his
performance could not take rank as an
official record. Hence the trial took
place In h presence of five persons, all
of whom observed carefully the weigh,
Ing, measuring and other formalities in.

Won KOTZE'S VICTIM DIES.
Many Prominent People Likely to
BE Dragged Into the Affair.

Potsdam, Prussia, April 13,-Baron
Won Schrader, master of ceremonies at
the Prussian court, died Saturday, his
death being the result of injuries In
f1icted by Count o kotZe. formerly one
of the our chamberlains, during a
duel fought Friday in the vicinity OF the
Neues Palais at Potsdam. Baron Won
Schrader was severely wounded in the
abdomen at the time of the meeting on
the field of honor, n his recovery from
he injuries was considered from the
first doubtful, If not Impossible.
The death of Baron Won Schrader will
undoubtedly go a long ways toward re-
viving the great court anonymous let
tiers scandals. which for years have fur
nished Germany. and in fact all Europe,
with a series of startling sensations.
