AN ICE GORGE
At Glendive, Mont, Caused q Loss
of Twelve Lives and a Large
Amount Of Property.

Chicago, April "a Record special from
Glendive, Mont, says:
An ice gorge in the Yellowstone river
al this point, caused that stream to over
flow last night. drowning four persons.
Eight more are missing. Three spans of
the steel bridge are washed out, causing
a loss of S25 Geo. The Northern Pacific
tracks are inundated and possibly washed
away for some distance. The loss of live
stock by drowning will involve large
sum. The dead persons are:
Mrs r. W. Snyder, wife of rancher.
Miss Rose Wybecht, visitor to the
Snyder ranch.
Miss Nellie Reagan her niece.
Eugene F. O'Connor.
The missing:
James Sullivan, wife and six children
The ice began moving at 7:30 in the
evening and continued flowing until $50,
when it formed a gorge.
The Snyder party, noticing the back
water, started for the Northern Pacific
tracks, hoping thus to escape drowning,
but before they covered half the distance,
the water was waist deep, and they took
refuge in a tree. O'Connor was the first
to be washed from the tree; Mrs. Snyder
the second. and Miss Wybecht the third
A huge piece of ice struck the tree and
broke it in two carrying off Miss Reagan.
1t is thought that the family of James
Sullivan, wife and six children, were
swept away by the overflow, as no trace
of them can be found

DEW EY'S PARTY
Is the Administration, be it Demo-
cratic or Republican-The Admir-
al Says He is a Sailor, and Sailor
Has no Politics.

New York, April Admiral Dew
ey has given to the Manila correspond
ent of Leslie's Weekly an interview
regarding the suggestion that the Adj
miral be made candidate for the
Presidency next year. The Admiral
said as to his politics:
81 am a sailor. A sailor has no poll
tics. The administration is his party
and, Republican or Democratic, it
makes no difference. Then, again,
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but
a Republican in Vermont is to be a.
man without a party. My flag lieuten-
ant comes from Georgia. He tells me
that to be anything but Democrat in
the South is to be nobody. If l lived
South l would probably be Demo-
GRAFT"
Have you ever voted?" the CORE
spondent asked.
Yes, years ago; but my vote was
usually Influenced by personal prefer
ence or local conditional am not a
politician, have never held political
office, and am totally ignorant of party
intricacies and affiliations"
The Admiral said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill the
Presidency. He said that he was too
we'll along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not adj
NIT it. All his hfe's work was in diff
ferent lines of effort, and that. while
the kindness and enthusiasm Of his
friends were grateful to him and the
generous tributes of the American PEG,
pie we're dear to him, he could not and
would not be candidate for the Pres
idency Of the United States under any
conditions

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE,

Stephen Johnson Field was born at
Haddam, Conn, November 4, 1916. He
was the son of David Dudley Field, and
one of four brothers who became so fa-
nous, David Dudley, Cyrues w. and
Henry M. Field, being the other mem
bers of the great quartette that made
their names known throughout the
world. His early boyhood was spent
at Lockbridge, Mass At the age Of
thirteen Stephen J. Field went to
Smyrna, where his sister had married
a missionary, the Rev. Josiah Brewer,
who had undertaken an educational
mission to the Greeks, and he there
acquired knowledge of Oriental Ian
guages. Returning to this country
after two and half years, he later en-
tered Williams College, from which he
was graduated in 1887 at the head of
his class. He then went to New York,
where he entered the law Office Of his
brother, David Dudley Field. He was
ADMITTED TO THE BAR
and became partner in the firm, re-
manning as such for seven years.
In 1848 he went to Europe and spent
some time there travelling. In Novem
Der, 1S49, he sailed for San Francisco
around Cape Horn and entered upo1
the practice of law in the Occidental
metropolis. After short time he
moved to Marysville, a small mining
camp, and became one of the founders
of what afterwards proved to be a
thriving town. When the little city
was organized Justice Field was elected
the alcalde of the place. This office
carried with it the dignity of mayor,
and at the same time imposed all the
duties of the bench. Here the future
jurist dispensed justice and made his
name widely known throughout the
length and breadth of the growing
Commonwealth. He was fond of talk
ing of his early days in California, and
often said that the happiest days Of
his life were when he dealt out justice
in Marysville behind dry goods box.
Justice Field, in sketch prepared by
himself for the Congressional diction-
airy, gave this brief outline of the
duties of his Office as alcalde:
ssUnder Mexican law the alcalde was
an officer of limited jurisdiction, but
in the anomalous condition of affairs
he was called upon to administer JUS
tice, punish crime and TO enforce po-
lice regulations until relieved by on
GERS under the new constitution" He
was elected member Of
THE FIRST LEGISLATURES
II the State, and was made member
of that body ne Vas influential II W

Washington, April 9.-Justice Steph-
en- ]. Field. of the United States SUI
preme Court, retired, died at his home
on Capitol Hill in this city, at $50
o'clock this evening, of kidney compli-
cations. About his bedside were his
wife and her sister, Mrs. ]. Condit
Smith, Mr.. Justice David J. Brewer, his
nephew; Mrs. Edgerton, of California;
Mr.. Linton, his private secretary; the
Rev. Edward M. Mott. rector Of the
Church of the Advent, and the family
servants. He had been unconscious
since Saturday morning, and death
came painlessly. Ever since Justice
Fields retirement from the Supreme
Court bench on December 1, 1897. he
had enjoyed comparatively good health
and being relieved from the response
bilities which he had borne for so many
years, he became more cheerful than
formerly, and seemed to enjoy the So
ciety Of his friends apd acquaintance
more than ever before. All during the
winter, when the weather was fair, it
was his custom to take daily drives
about the city or through the grounds
of the Soldiers home, and always re-
turned refreshed. About two weeks
ago, however. he took longer ride
than usual in an open carriage and con-
tracted a severe cold, which rapidly de-
veloped the kidney troubles from which
he had suffered. though but slightly,
for some time.
The disease readily yielded to treat
ment, and on Thursday last he sat IN
for time and seemed quite himself
again, but on Saturday morning a
change for the worse took place aud
about noon he lost cousciousn ass.
From that time he sank rapidly and
expired at $50 o'clock.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral, nor is it known
where he will be buried 1t is prob
able that his remains will be taken to
StockIbridge, Mass, where are buried
his father and mother and his broth
ers, Cyrus, Dudley and Jonathan. two
sisters and other members of the Field
family. Tt is possible, however, that
Mrs. Field may decide to take his re-
mains to California, where consider
able part of his active life was passed
before President Lincoln appointed
him a member of the Supreme bench.

A CHICAGO RIOT.
Union Workmen Fight Among Themselves,
and Three Were Wounded.


Chicago, April "a riot, in which
three men were seriously injured and
dozen others bruised by flying stones
and pieces of iron, occurred to-day be-
tween about thirty structural iron
workers. Revolvers, knives and clubs
were freely used. The seriously in
jured are: Andrew Reichert, r j.
Ross and Gottlieb Federer. The fight
occurred at Nos. Is and 20 Evanston
Avenue, where a big warehouse is in
the course of construction. All the
men engaged are union workmen. 1t
was claimed by members of the union
that an agreement whereby outside
iron workers were to do no inside
work was being violated, and for sew
eral days the work inside the building
has been done under police protection,
but no officers were there to-day.

A LIVELY BATTLE
Between Candidates for West Point Cadet
ship and Town Boys"

snip ana 'lOWn DOyS
WEST POINT, N. Y, April "a fierce
battle occurred at Highland Falls, at a
late hour last night, between candidates
for admission to West Point as cadets on
the one hand, and boys of the village on
the other The candidates are attending
the preparatory school at Highland Falls,
prior to being examined at West Point
next June for admission to the academy.
There were about thirty of them in the
fight, but they were outnumbered three to
one by the boys of the town. The trouble
began with a hand to hand encounter,
and the crowd soon increased to such an
extent that stone throwing took the place
of fists. Several of the candidates were
more or less injured The services of all
the doctors in town were required to dress
the wounds of the injured Hostilities
continued for nearly an hour.

IMPORTANT NEWS EXPECTED.

Washington, April 9.-The War De-
partment authorities look for import
ant news from Manila tomorrow an
nouncing in all probability the capture
of the city of Santa Cruz, a leading
town in a country as yet untouched by
the American forces and now in the
hands of the Filipino forces. No re-
port of the movement Of Gen. Lawton's
forces has been made to the War De-
partmenIt, but the Associated Press ac-
count occasioned no surprise, for the
movement lis looked upon as one of the
natural steps in Gen. Otis's carefully
laid plans against the insurgents. San
tia Cruz lis "a place of considerable i'm
p0rtance in several respects. 1t is the
capitol of THE province of Laguna, and
has a population, according to the best
available information here, Of consid-
erably more than 1900 persons. 1t is
regarded as likely that Gen. LawtOn al
ready has gained possession of this lit
tie stronghold, for it is but a short dis
lance over the bay lagoon, fresh
water sea which comes almost to Ma
Mia itself, which is forty-eight miles
away from Santa Cruz The details of
the dispatch show Gen. LaIwton, by
essaying THE formation of squads of
twelve men each, will make a thorough
reconnaissance of the ground before
making a definite attack upon the city
and vicinity. lit is felt here that there
will be only a show of resistance by
the natives, and whether they actually
surrender the town or abandon it to
the southwark, the campaign against
the place will serve as an object lesson
of the determined policy of or forces
in the islands.
Santa Cruz is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond. From it
lead highways in all directions to Manila
by going around the shores of Bay La
COON and to the important point of Batan>
gas and the we'll advanced province of
Tayahas, whose capital city is located 81
miles from Manila. Gen. Lawton, how
ever, may not contemplate any material
advance beyond Santa Cruz at this time,
as the region to the South is a very brok-
en- country. covered with mountains and
the rainy season is coming on, so that
his purpose may be merely to gain an ad-
vantageous position for the future.

INCREASED ALARM
Among English Iron Manufacturers
and Engineers,
OVER THE STEADY DEVELOP
MENT OF THE AMERICAN IRON
AND STEEL TRADE IN GREAT
BRITAIN AND HER Dependent
CITES "DETAILS OF ADDITIONAL
ORDERS RECEIVED FOR SHIP
MENT ABROAD.

Special to the Register.
New York, April "a London spe-
cial setting forth the immense develop
ment of the American iron and steel
trade in England, and the causes of
American success in competition with
English manufacturers in those lines,
says:
THE announcement to-day that the
Berry Dock and Railway Company has
accepted orders from an American firm
for the supply of several locomotives
for mineral and passenger train SER
vice, is causing increased alarm among
English iron manufacturers and eu-
gineers.
SITUATION NOTEWORTHY.
eft lis particularly noteworthy, fol-
lowing, as it does, the capture ty
American contractors of large orders
from the Midland Railway Company.
and from the Anglo-Egyptia govern
ment, which, it will be remembered,
sent the contract for the Atbara bridge
to the United States. *
Lord Cromer, alluding to the latter
matter i'm report to Lord Salisbury,
issued to-day, says that the order for
the bridge across tile Altbara river
was given to an American contractor
because rapidity of delivery was a more
important consideration even than the
price.
WHERE WE LEAD.
''An English firm offered delivery Of
the work in six and a half months for
$4,000. The price rendered by the
American firm was s32,5 500 for delivery
in forty-two days.
"The American offer was therefore
accepted.
''The Barry railway directors assert
that in addition to getting quicker de-
livery, the cost is about $500 less for
each locomotive than would have been
paid i'm England, while the workman
ship is quite as good, if not superior.
To explain how it is that the work
can be done so much cheaper in Amer
lea than in England, it is stated that
an American workman puts in 3,10O
hours on "a years job, compared with
the 1000 of the English workman, the
latter's output being limited by the
rules of his union.
OUR BIG EXPORTS.
sThe public have little idea Of the
enormous amount of machinery export
ed from America to England quite re-
Gently. The directors of one of the
most important engineering firms in
Sheffield sent a valuable order to Amer
lea for automatic specialized machine
tools. No firm in this country would
undertake to deliver them in eleven
months, but the American firm obtain
ed the contract by guaranteeing Ito have
the machinery fixed and at work in
three months. The largest cycle fac
tory in England has just been COM
pletely equipped with plant of Ameri-
can lathes and tools. Armor plates

Manila, April 8, $50 a. m.-The ex-
pedition of fifteen hundred men under
Major General Henry w. Lawton,
which started last night with the inten-
ton of crossing Laguna de Bay, cap
turing the town of Santa Cruz, on the
eastern shore Of the lake, and then
sweeping the country to the south,
consists of two hundred picked sharp
shooters, chosen from the various reg
iments, Hawthorne's mountain battery,
Gales squadron, three troops OF the
Fourth cavalry unmounted, with bron-
kos and Tappan's battallions Of the
Fourteenth infantry, Linck's battalion
of the First Idaho infantry and
Fraino's battalion of the First North
Dakota infantry, under Gen. King. The
f1otilla of twenty canoes, towed by
tugs and conveyed by the gunboats
Laguna de Bay, Oeste and Rapidan,
and preceded by the launch contain
Ing Gen. Lawton and Gen. King, start
ed from San Pedro Macati, on the river
Hasig, moving toward the lake just as
evening was setting in. 1t was truly
PICTURESQUE SCENE.
The men were all in high spirits, and
carried rations for ten days, with the
highest marching equipment.
Gen. Lawton's plan was to reach
Santa Cruz this morning at daybreak,
to capture or destroy any rebel gun
boats or shipping, to take the town,
and then to scour the country to the
south of the lake, district not yet
explored by the Americans. The tao
tics will be those of the old-time from
tier fighting, and it is probable that
the command will be divided into
squads of twelve under non-commis-
stoned officers.
In Gen. Lawton's absence the Sec
ond Division is temporarily command
ed by Gen. Ovenshire, whose lines ex-
tend fro mthe beach near Malate,
south of Manila, to the shore of Laguna
de Bay, beyond Pasig, distance of
about seven miles.
The withdrawal Of the eighteen COM
panies constituting the expeditionary
force
MADE A GAP IN THE LINE
from the beach to Culiculi just south
west of San Pedro Macati, which was
subsequently filled by the Fourth reg
ular infantry.
The rebels on the extreme right had
evidently been informed of the with
drawal of the troops, and they attempt
ed to sneak through after nightfall, but
they met with a warm reception and
fell back in disorder on discovering
that the line was intact.
