.SMOKELESS POW DER
To Be Manufactured by the Gov
eminent on Large Scale -MiliS
Nearly Completed.

WASHINGTON, September 10.-The
Navy Department expects to begin the
manufacture of smokeless powder at It's
powder mills, a few miles back from the
Potomac river, near Indian Head, with
in the next two or three months. Work
on the mills has been pushed energetic
ally. and at present about 1,200 men are
employed. Admiral O'Neil, chief OF the
Bureau of Ordnance. accompanied by
Lieut.. Seymour, of the bureau, inspect
ed the work during the last week, and
was much pleased at the progress made.
Already about a dozen buildings are
completed, the electric light plant
said TO be one Of the finest in the world
is installed, and the stand pipe, 10
feet high, is UP. There are ten or
twelve other buildings well along TO-
ward completion. Altogether the group
of buildings will number twenty-four or
twenty-five, with a capacity OF 2,0GO
pounds of smokeless powder daily. This
daily output sSSuS lol 80 az SS
thought, but one of the big 13-inch guns
of the Indiana uses 1000 pounds OF
powder at a single shot.
The opening of the mills will mark
distinct departure by the government.
Heretofore all the supplies Of powder
have been drawn from private sources.
The first appropriation made by Con-
gress for a powder factory was about
s200, 600, but in the last naval appro-
priation bill, S1,O00,O00 was given for
the purchase cor manufacture" of pow
der. This permits a part of the last APP
preparation to be used for the mills now
in course of construction. Commander
Cowden is in charge of the work OF
construction.

THOUSANDS OF Barrels In blaze at slsters-
Vile.
Special to the Register.
SISTERSVILLE, w. Va, September
10.-A very severe electric storm passed
over this section late tonight and did
a great deal of damage. One of the
thirty-fve thousand barrel oil tanks be-
longing to the Eureka Pipe Line Com
pany, situated on the southern out
skirts of the city, was struck by light
ming and set on fire.
The tank was about half full of oil
at the time, but by the prompt action
of the pipe line people here, probably
all of it was saved except eight thou
sand barrels.
The tank is burning fiercely up to
this hour, and will probably burn for
several days, as there is a lot of sedi-
ment in the bottom of it.
The loss will be fully $4,000. There
are two other tanks in the group, and
it was only by the hardest kind of
work on the part of the officials of the
company that they were saved.

JUMPED TO DEATH.

NEW YORK, September 10.-Mid-
way between the two great towers of
the Brooklyn bridge this morning, a
man whose name no one knows, climb
ed over the railing and went to his
death in the East River. He turned
over and over as he fell according to
eye witnesses whom the police found,
and struck upon his back. The body
sank but re-appeared and was visible
for a short time as the flood tide car
ried it up the river. The bridge po-
lice have the mans hat, coat and shoes,
all telling of extreme poverty, none Of
which furnish the slightest clew to his
identity.

UNEQUALLED PROCESSION
OF Ships Bearing the American Flag
Through the 500. Yesterday.

or Ships Bearing the American Flag
Through the 500. Yesterday.
SAULT STE MARIE, Mich, Septem-
Der 10-The embargo on Lake Superior
navigation by the sinking of the steam
er Douglass Houghton in the 500 pas
sage, last Tuesday, was lifted at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon. The largest
fleet ever accumulated on the lakes, if
not in America, began to move soon
after. and one vast naval procession
headed down the lakes, while another
started on its way to Lake Superior.
In the two there were over 200 of the
largest craft under the American flag,
save the few ocean liners.
The lifting of the embargo was full
of dramatic incident. 1t was Tuesday
last when the Houghton was sunk in
the narrowest part of the channel by
a collision with the schooner Fritz,
which she had in tow. 1t was found
that the steamer had driven her way
into the limestone ledge about twelve
feet and the ledge and to be blasted
away The first blast of dynamite only
cracked the rock.
Blast after blast was discharged
without effect Finally, after an I'M
usually heavy charge, which shattered
the rocks which hold the bow of the
Houghton in wise, the big boat NOV
ed in the current, and drifted and was
pulled out of the channel.
1t was a time of great rejoicing
among the captains Of the blockaded
fleet Over hundred were on the
scene.
Tonight the fleet stretches out for
miles in Hay Lake. Captains are wait
ing for word to start. They are pass
ing down third Of a mile apart, in or
der to avoid danger of collision. The
procession is over forty miles long. AS
most of the up-bound boats have been
gotten out Of the way, the procession
will be practically continuous, and
doubtless it is the greatest naval dis
play ever given in the United States.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 10.-A
desperate fight took place this after
noon between Charles Dumont, an ex-
convict, and Detective Abe Kleeman
and Patrolman George CASTOR, with
the result that all three were wounded,
Dumont fatally. Dumont was wanted
for burglary and the officers were wait
ing for him on Harrison avenue, when
he came along on a bicycle. The Off
GERS called upon Dumont to stop, but
he pedalled on, at the same time draw
ing a revolver and shooting over his
shoulder at his pursuers. Patrolman
CASTOR got bullet in his head and an
other in the arm. Dumont lost his bal
ance and fell from his wheel, but quick
ly sought refuge behind a telegraph
pole and continued the fight with De-
tective Kleeman. Dumont received
three wounds in the body, one of which,
near the heart, will prove fatal. De-
tective Kleeman has a serious flesh
wound in the right side.

toll Wearled him until he placed its vim
olcatlon beyond peradventure. When
such controversies impended, he coyet-
eo no personal case and upon the bench
never allowed the inclination to avoid
responsibility to possess him for an in
stant. me case involving little, the lit
lgant OF humble origin and position
commanded the exercise of his great
powers in their pristine vigor and he
was as alert and attentive as when
the great controversies which swayed
the destiny of the country were being
considered by him. To them he gave
MS vigorous powers of reasoning, his
commanding traits of intellect, the best
dlsclpllne OF his mind, with the same
noellty that he manifested on more con-
spicuous occasions.
THE four brothers of this family who
survived to mature years and each of
Whom, in some walk of life, became
conspicuous had many traits of char
acter IN common, and whether we shall
study Mr. Justice Fields career as the
alcalde of Marysvile the legislator in
California, the Justice of the supreme
court of that state, the associate justice
OF the supreme court of the United
states, or the presiding justice of this
Nlhth circuit, we shall behold SER
want OF the people who, through his
learning to the discharge of high duties
and with lofty aims. Such a service
is honorable to him and valuable to us.
HIS great contributions to the science
OF the law made manifest in our min
ing regulations will perpetuate his
services not merely on the western
shores of this continent but wherever
geological conditions make their wis
dom applicable. Mr.. Justice Field
mo int it,n
pride of the circuit to which he was
assigned and which was for nearly half
a century his home. He often lamented
pride in the circuit to which he was
that his duties at the capital of the ma
ton denied him the pleasure of render
ing service in the courts of his circuit,
and it Is not many months ago that he
wrote me of his purpose to visit us here
in Montana. No lawyer from the Ninth
circuit appeared in the supreme court
to whom he did not manifest unfailing
kindness and condescension. If, in that
august presence, rich with great events,
and hallowed by illustrious names, in
experience became nervous, Mr.. JUS
tice Field had the happy faculty of al
laying the solicitudes and making the
lawyer feel at home. The English law
yers for many generations would in
quire if Sir Matthew Hale really so
decided, and if so convinced, no more
thought of contending against his ut
terance than If they found it in magma
charta. sY
Mr.. Justice Field lived his judicial
life in more tempestuous times and
could not hope for 50 universal a con-
currence, but his decisions were al
ways of commanding import and law
yers dissented hesitatingly. He never
considered the personal consequences
of his decisions. having a high disdain
for what one of the eminent chief jus
tees of New England denominated
that most infamous character, popu-
lar judge"

read, not only by those of the West
who have intimated by letter that they
are about to come, without any definite
arrangement or any assurance of a live
lihood, but by all those who have con-
tracted the metropolitan fever. Do not
abandon certainty for the will-o' the
Wisp of fortune in New York Come and
see the sights and strike the winning
chord If you can, but do not expect to
find the city awaiting your coming with
outstretched hands and laurel wreaths
and gold.
Montana continues to hold its own
at the hotels and resorts. The remark
able fact about Montanans is that they
are better known than the visitors from
any other state in the union. You rare
ly hear of Iowa or Minnesota or Wis
consin or Oregon, or any other Western
state. The hotel reporters, the gossip
ers along Broadway, the Bohemian
crowd which Is to be seen at the leading
hostelries of the city, pay more atten-
ton to Montana and Montanans than
or Central West.
This fact is attributed to the great
copper mines of the state, the splendid
record of the famous racing stables of
the Bitter Root and the brightness, ag-
gressiveness and sociability Of its peo-
pie.
And yet, in these bright spring days,
when the foliage in the parks is bud
ding and the fashion, genius and bril-
liancy of the community Is blossom
ing into nany-tirted bouquets along
the boulevards, I see void. an incom-
pleteness, lack Of joy-a halt just be-
low the climax of pulchritudinous per-
fection-and as I contemplate the un-
satisfying scene I think of that calm
spring day in Butte, when the Tippe-
rary dude with the Barrettian coun-
tenance and carefully buttoned orches-
trion, filled the air with the music of
his costume and added the glory of
the rainbow to the native luster of Ma
guire
That vision cannot be banished so
long as birds wear feathers or beauty
feeds the eye. JOHN M. QUINN.
