cludes Me century, several railways
crossing Mexico from sea TO sea, gigan-
tic port works and hundreds of new fac
tories. The government will stick to the
silver standard as being, in the opinion
OF the administration, the one best
adopted to this country and as affording
it at the present rate of exchange an i'm
mense protection to home industry,
while at the same time securing tor its
exports gold premium which operates
as bounty to tropical planters. 1t is

All the cabinet ministers, who resigned

Anti.American Tariffs.

Washington, Dec. a. Retaliation
against the European countries that sesk
to destroy American tradeis suggested by
United States Consul General NJ. Judd, at
Vienna. He says that the Austrian glu-
cose producers, finding their trusts pow
erless to meet the rates asked by Ameri-
cans, appealed to their government and
the latter has increased the duty on i'm
ported glucose from ~ to 8 forms per
$50 killos, to take effect December !.
This is aimed direct at America, as the
United States is the only country COM
peting for this trade, and will shut US out
from further sales of syrup. Mr.. Judd
says;
i'It has been this way with other articles
for which Americans found foreign
market. If ii was not tariff some other
obstacles have crippled their efforts to
maintain the trade. Would not q threat
ened retaliatory measure, say against
porcelain and glassware, have the de-
sired effect of possibly preventing the in
tended change from going into effectS"

BAD WISCONSIN ICE GORGE
The City of Chippewa Falls Will BE
Swept Away If the Gorge
Breaks.
ALARMED PEOPLE ARE MOVING AWAY
Feared That the Course Of the River
Will Be Changed So AS to
Throw 1t Into the Threat
NJ ened City. o.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. "A special to
the Evening Wisconsin from Chippewa
Falls, Wis, says: Confusion rei9ns in
Chippewa Falls to-day and the thorough
ly alarmed people are making every effort
to leave as little for the incoming waters
to destroy as they possibly can. Two
hundred teams and drays have rushed
hithsr and thither all day and the streets
are Uttered with merchandise.
The water remained stationary until
about O'Clock this morning. Then it
began rising rapidly and inside of four
hours an additional rise of eighteen inches
had been registered. The river at 10
O'Clock is twenty -four feet high and rising.
Business is abandoned and the city is in a
state of tumult.
Thousands of people are anxlously
waiting in groups of fifty or more, ex-
citedly discussing the situation at every
corner. Anything is sexpected and moth
ing may happen. But the greatest dan
course to throw it into town.
The water can never cut its way
under fifteen miles of the ice gorge
formed in the bed of the river. Experts
believe that the gorge will soon become
anchored to the bottom of the river. In
this case the river must flow out around
it. Its NATURAL course lies directly behind
the town.
Three Thousand pounds of dynamite
arrived this morning and men have been
exploding it at various points along the
river. II has failed to relieve the situa-
tion.
All the buildings on River street are to-
day flooded to the second story and the
formation of ice around them is doing
serious damage to the structures.
The Central depot is under three feet
OF water and will be carried away before
night. The Milwaukee freight depot is
in similar situation and the coal sheds
are wrecked.
| A report reached here this morning
that the gorge at the Little Falls dam,
eighteen miles above the city, had brok-
en- away, permitting a rush of water upon
the town. If this report is authentic, the
entire town will be inundated just as
soon as the water reaches US.
An estimate of the damage already
done to this city and the rich farming
country above it can not be made. 1t is
believed to be a million dollars.
special from Durant, Wis, says: The
ice gorge below the city has forced the
water 20 within four feet of the great
1884 food, filling cellars and overhowing
the streets. Should the Chippewa Falls
gorge hreak, Durant will be in great
danger, as the bluffs at Round Hill will
hold the gorge there.

WILL STARTLE The COUNTRY
Prediction That the President Will Say
Something Sensational in His Mes
sage on Cuban Question.
WILL PROVE THAT he is AN AMERICAN
Action That Will Be Tantamount to An
Open Threat of Active Interven-
ton to Secure Peace in the
Island of Cuba.

Chicago, Dec. "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: There
is every reason to believe that President
Cleveland has decided on action which
will atartle the country almost as much
as his famous message on the Venezuela
incident, although the exact time for the
apnou eement depends somewhat on
future operations in Cuba.
By this action the president will not
change his previous policy in regard to
Spain and Cuba, but will simply carry it
out to it's logical conclusion, which ls
direct and open threat Of active interven-
tion on the part of the United States to
secure peacs in the island, whether by
the independence of the patriots or by
voluntary action on the part OF Spain.

AGRICULTURAL OR MINERAL.
The Receiver of the Helena Land once
Renders an InterestIng DeolsIon.

Renders an Interesting Decision.
Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
Deer Lodge, March PA decision of
more than ordinary interest was hand-
ed down by the receiver OF the land
Office in Helena last Tuesday. 1t in
yolved a piece of land in Washington
gulch, which was taken up by one Lee
MONTGOMERY as a placer claim, while
II. P. Gilbert made a homestead app1-
cation for the same land on the ground
that IL was more valuable for agricul-
tural purposes than for the mineral II
contained.
On July IS, 1895, Montgomery filed
his contest affidavit alleging that the
former agricultural claimant had long
since abandoned the land and that he
had been in peaceful possession of and
mining the ground since 1890; also that
the said land had been demonstrated
10 be valuable for placer mining a
long time prior to the homestead entry
of II. p. Gilbert. A hearing was asked
TO establish the allegations and the
case was heard before the receiver at
Helena on the Bird of last September.
"A peculiar feature of the case was that
the character of the land involved had
been passed upon by the land depart
ment in the case of Lee Montgomery
VS.. Clarence Christofferson. In this
case the defendant who filed his de-
claratory statement in May, 1885, ap-
peared TO make final proof on his
claim in January, 1890, when Mont
gomery appeared and protested. alleg-
ing that the land was mineral in char
acter. A trial ensued and the land
office decided in favor of the agricul-
tural claimant. This decision was some
time later confirmed by the commits
sioner of the general land Office. The
contestant at the hearing before the
receiver claimed that the land, besides
being mineral in character was also
necessary as a dumping ground in or
der to successfully work the remaining
portion of his placer claim, which is
situated directly above: and he con-
tended that for this reason he should
be allowed to purchase the ground in
controversy under his application for
patent. On this point the decision
states that agricultural lands cannot
be patented under the mining laws for
dumping grounds. except possibly as
a mill site appurtenant TO a lode claim;
certainly not as placer mine"
The receiver also found that the ag-
ricultural character of the land was
clearly established by the testimony at
the trial and says: Although not the
most desirable location for growing or
binary crops. it will produce a good
crop of hay, and this is one of the most
profitable of agricultural products in
Montana" II was therefore ordered
that the mineral application be can
celed to the extent of its conflict with
the homestead entry Of II. =. Gilbert

cuted the case for Gilbert before the
