Mine shut Down.

Great Falls, Oct. 6-Much TO the dis
appointment of the people of both this
city and Neihart, the Moulton mine has
been shut down indefinitely. Som time
ago the company opened up the mine
by bailing and pumping inc some ore
was taken out OF the 300-foot level. A
shipment of his ore, however. showed
that there was no profit in operating
the mine at the present price of silver
and now the mine will be allowed to
again fill up. This incident will not
have a tendency to encourage the peo-
pie of Neihart to vote the republican
ticket this fall.

tlons. He Is a high authority on naval
ordnance and before taking command
Of the Iowa was chief of the bureau of
ordnance of the navy department. He
is between fifty-fve and sixty years
of age, a student Of naval affairs, and
is considered an officer Of exceptional
executive ability.
The retirement Of Admiral Sicard has
the effect of raising Capt. Sampson to
the rank of commodore
He is native of New York, entered
the service on Sept. IS, 1857, and has
been for over forty years in active
service, nearly fourteen of which were
spent on the sea. He concluded his
last cruise In June, 1892, since which
time he served as chief of the bureau
of ordnance up to the time of his as
signment to the command Of the Iowa.
Hardly less important that the as
signment Of Capt. Sampson was the
practical determination to place Com
modore W. s. Schley in command Of
the fleet now assembling at Hampton
Roads. This will consist Of the bat
tleships Massachusetts and Texas. the
cruisers Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Co
lumbia, and such other ships as may
be assigned later 1t is commonly
known as the flying squadron" the
idea being to make Hampton Roads
the base Of operations and yet to give
Commodore Scniey easy ana eIectlVe
cruising distance of the entire sweep
of the Atlantic seaboard north of that
point.
The two commands under Commo-
dore Sampson and Commodore Schley
will be of equal dignity and will be
entirely independent of each other, for
the present at least.
Commodore Schley commands the
full confidence of the administration
and Of Secretary Long for his good
judgment and ability. During the pres
ent crisis he has been frequently called
into consultation with the navy chiefs,
who recognized his complete familiarity
with every detail of naval procedure.
When the flying squadron was first
suggested, his name naturally present
ed itself as probably the fittest man In
the service for that particular duty. He
came prominently into public notice by
the successful prosecution of the Greedy
relief expedition. and latter as a COM
mander of the Baltimore at Valpa-
raiso at the time Of the Chilean revolu-
ton.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 24.-The
twin battleships Kentucky and Kearsarge
were launched from the yards of the New
port News Dry Dock and Ship Building
company today in the presence Of an i'm
mense crowd.
There was not hitch in the programme,
and cheers from 10000 throats greeted the
latest additions to the United States navy
as they slid from the ways, the PROV OF
one sprinkled with foamlng champagne, the
other chr1stened with pure water from the
home of Abraham Lincoln.
The ship Of the nation was launched first,
and long before the hour announced for
the ceremony fully IS COO people were push
ing. and 5ostlng around the powerful steel
hull of No. 18, as the Kearsarge was known
In the ship yard.
Just before the preliminary preparations
were finished, the christening party arrived
and was conducted through the vast throng
to the gaily decorated stage at the bow O:
the kearsarge.
The party was composed Of Calvin B, Or
cutt, president of the Newport News Ship
Building company; Mrs. Herbert W!nslow,
sponsor for the Kearsarge, and her maid of
honor. Miss Margaret Eastman, of Wash

Mrs. William o. Bradley, Gov. Tyler, of
Virginia, and staff, and a number of state
officials Of Kentucky; Lieut.. Commander

viving son Of the captain who commanded the
famous old kearsarge in the fight with the

Alabama; members of the house and senate
committees on naval affairs, and other dis
tlngulshed visitors from Washington.
All preparations being arranged and the
fair sponsor OF the Kearsarge in her station,
a saw severed the shores that held the
Kearsarge in place, and the splendid hull
started on her journey, to the water.
AS 1t started, Mrs. Winslow broke the bot
tie OF champagne it's bow, and ex-
claimed clear and distinctly: Il christen
thee Kearsarge."
Inc christening party then proceeded to
the bow Of the Kentucky. This ceremony
was an exact counterpart of the former,
except that when the critical moment ar
rived Miss Christine Bradley broke a cut
glass bottle of water from the spring on
claimed clearly and distinctly;. II christen
thee Kentucky
Then. as the vessel started down the
ways, several bottles of old Bourbon whisky
were hurled against her sides by Kentuck-
lans who were opposed to the water christ
ening. Water from the spring OF the JEFF
ferson Davis farm in Kentucky was also
smashed on the vessel s sides.
Both launches were successful in every
particular.
The invited guests and distinguished visi-
tors then boarded the steamer Newport
News and proceeded to Old Point where the
ship yard officials rendered a magnificent
banquet. Covers were laid for eco persons
1t was entirely informal. Among the toasts
responded to were:
Kentucky by Gov. Bradley, and "Vir-
ginia," by Gov. Tyler.

Washington Bureau st. Paul Globe,
Corooran BuiIdinQ.

Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 24-Presi-
dent Mckinley now has the official pa
pers, containing the findings of a court
which may plunge two nations into
war and mark a most eventful epoch
in the history of the world.
The president will rise early tomor-
row morning, and with Judge Day and
one or two personal friends will go
over the report before 1t is submitted
to the cabinet at II o'clock.
OF course the arrival of Lieutenant
Commander Mark and his party has
thrown Washington in a fever of ex-
element 1t Is bringing matters very
close to the fountain head, and the long
suffering people can hardly wait to be
relieved from the suspense.
There is a story out tonight that the
of the court from the public until the
early part of next week, but this is not
likely to be the case.
Senator Davis and others, who Will
be called in for consultation tomorrow
and Sunday, are of the opinion that
nothing will be given out, but it Is
universally believed that this is a case
where the public has anticipated cor
rectly, and the report will certainly In
clude these findings:
A sweeping vindicaton of Capt Sigs-
bee and every person connected with
the Maine, completely exonerating each
man from any carelessness or negli-
gence.
Official sworn statements, accompan-
led by charts and profiles, from the
divers and experts, showing that the
Maine was destroyed from an external
| force.
On this point it Is expected that the
| evidence will be very lengthy.
1t Is also expected that the court will
express it's opinion that mine of
dynamite caused the first explosion.
On the question Of responsibility,
there are reasons to believe that the
court has a surprise in store for the
country, and that after citing all the
| circumstances the officials will state
that they have concluded that the de-
| struction of the vessel was planned
and perpetrated by some person or per-
sons hostile to the United States. They
may not find that any Spanish official
was directly connected with it. But
If the report goes as far as indicated
it will require some very. able manage
ment to have 1t referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations of the house
and senate as has already been decided

There are many pitiful cases of that
