BUGHoUSE BILL.

Careful investigation at Potsdam
regarding the circumstances under
which Emperor William delivered his
latest military address developed the
fact that during a review last Tuesday
of number of military bodies belong
ing to the Potsdam garrison, includ-
ing the First regiment of foot guards,
extraordinary precautions were taken
to prevent any representative of the
press or any other civilian obtaining
knowledge of his majesty's remarks,
which were uttered in the Lustgarten,
adjoining the royal castle.
From persons who were present 1t
was learned that the kaiser spoke sub
stantially as follows:
"A hand from out of the people was
recently raised against me, to my in
tense sorrw. Evidently serious
time are coming which will try our
mettle. know that the army is
true to its traditions and to- the solemn
oath it has taken. I know it will
remain steadfast and faithful to me.
my conviction is especially strong
regarding the guards and regarding
this regiment now present, which is
tied to the Hohenzollerns by indis-
soluable bonds, as the past has shown
during the troublous times abroad and
even during revolutionary times at
home.
'The authority of the crown must
be maintained at all hazards. Woe
to the soldier who listens to the voice
of the tempter."

bered region, and before the prairie
valleys were ditched and tiled, the
great rivers sustained a constant vol
ume of water the year round. Mills
that used to run constantly by water
power can now run but a few months
in the year. The water that turned
the wheel during the dry months has
long since found its level in the ocean.
The millions of dollars worth of
property which is destroyed by
floods annually is but drop in the
bucket compared to the damage that
is being done to our internal water
way systems by this same agency.
The natural waterways of this con-
tinent will always be governing fac
tors in determining the price Of trans
portation. It has been said that rail-
roads can never compete with the
traffic on the great lakes during the
period of navigation, because God Al
mighty keeps up the trackage. This
Is true Of the great lakes. but it is not
true of the great rivers. God Al
mighty would keep up the trackage II
men would not do everything in their
power to thwart His plans for keep
ing them up.

BY Associated Press:
Washington, April 12.-Various in.
terviews ascribed to Minister Loomis
at San Juan, have attracted much at
tention here and the minister will pro-
badly be invited to explain some CT
his utterances, if he is not able to en-
ter broad denial of the accuracy Of
all interviews. Reflections upon the
personal character of the president of
Venezuela are not regarded as proper,
and it is confidently hoped that the
minister will be able to repudiate
these remarks. The prevalent idea
is that no matter how these personal
questions are settled it will be long
time before the United States minis
ter resumes his post at Caracas.

Of the Paper Napkin Found Floating
at Sea.

What is probably a partial solving
of one o. the many mysterious sea
stories of the north came in the shape
of letter to Chief of Police Meredith
of Seattle from o. K. Bovard, city ed
itor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
in the letter Mr.. Bovard states that
Mrs. Esther Delaney of st. Louis
thinks her son, John Joseph Delaney,
was the Jack" Delaney supposed TO
have been lost off Teller City in Ber-
ing Sea with seven other men during
last September. The party of eight
were thought to have been swamped
in small boat and drowned.
Advices from the north dated in
September last gave details of the
finding of Japanese paper handker-
chief floating off Port Safety, on which
the startling information was given
that eight men, whose names were ap-
pended were slowly sinking in a small
boat in the open sea. The names
signed to the strange missive were:
Jack Delaney, Sam Mack, c. l.. Myers,
John Dolan, George Thomas, c. M.
Dean and one other. None of these
men, so far as ascertained, were known
in the Nome or surrounding district.
Great publicity was given the matter
in the papers but no further informa-
ton was found concerning the strange
party. It was said that they had
been prospecting north of Teller City,
but that report could not even be ver-
flied.
Mrs. Delaney in St. Louis noticed
the accounts and was at once struck
by the fact that one of the names
was that of her son, John Joseph De-
laney, who had gone north several
years before. He had been in the
Klondike several seasons, after which
he disappeared and she thinks he
went to Nome in the first rush. Mrs.
Delaney has had no word from her
son and is certain that Jack Delaney
mentioned in the missive from the
sea is no other than her son, which
if true, would mean that the strange
letter was no practical joke, but a
message from men facing death.
The letter requests Chief Meredith
to get any information he can on the
subject. The Nome officials will
probably be requested to fathom the
mystery, II possible. According tt
the reports received at the time, the
paper napkin with the strange mes
sage on it was turned over to Captain
Jarvis Of Solomon City, who wa:
north with the revenue cutter Beal
at the time.

The individual soldier nowadays is
regarded as a machine. Not much
intelligence is required of him; he is
simply to act in obedience to direction,
like piece of highly complicated me-
chanism. Fuel, in the shape of food,
is furnished for his consumption, and
in return he is expected to produce a
certain amount of energy for march
ing, fighting and so on. He requires,
to keep him going, according to sci
entific estimate, daily allowance
equivalent to 18 ounces of bread, 20
ounces Of meat and 16 ounces OF
vegetables. In addition he has cof'
fee as a stimulant.

PLAYING CARDS MORE IN De
MAND.


Frank A. Cleland, Cincinnati
drummer, whose specially is playing
cards, was in Butte recently and ask
ed what effect the closing of games in
Montana had upon his business.
probably some of you will not be-
lieve me-" said Mr.. Cleland, ''but it
is a fact that the sales of my wares
have increased slightly since gamb-
ling has been closed in Montana. The
ones who formerly played roulette and
faro bank have taken a liking to the
game of solo, and in every city in the
state everybody is playing slough
We sell more cards at present than
we ever did, with the probable excep-
ton of two or three years ago. All
that time the way the dealers used to
sell pasteboards was a caution. One
dealer sold more cards in one per-
iod of six months than all the other
dealers put together and let me tell
you that that's a whole lot.
"Our concern has very large sales
in Montana, and but few cities in the
union use more playing cards than
does Butte. Gamblers as a rule in
Butte are very cranky, and when play
ing stud are very suspicious. The
moment they lose big hand they
will tear the cards and call for new
deck. By this our sales in Butte
are increased to a considerable ex-
tent.
"In eastern Montana a gentleman
told me of very amusing incident
which occurred there a couple of
months ago. By some accident a new
deck of cards were opened and four
aces and the joker extracted there
from. A game of percentage stud
was started with four boosters in the
seats. and the dealer was quite aston
ished at the fact that after half an
hours play not a bet had been made
by booster. He quickly glanced al
the cards and not finding an ace soon
saw the reason for the lack of bets.

As Forests Disappear the Spring
Floods Increase and Multiply.
With the opening Of spring nature
enters her earnest protest against the
wanton destruction of our native for.
ests, says the st. Paul Globe. From
Maine to California comes tI..s prstest
always once a year, sometimes twice
and sometimes thrice. Nature is out
ragged by the selfish attack upon the
forests, and manifests her anger and
grief in swollen streams; in rivers
that overrun their banks; in floods
that devastate the lowlands.
From New England comes the re-
ports of the spring floods. The Wis
consin streams arc so high that the
saving cannot begin; the hills Of
Pennsylvania are slipping from their
foundations, all because the natural
forests have been destroyed and no
attempt made to replace even a small
fraction to withhold the tickle rain and
water from the melting snow. This
has been going on for years-every
year growing worse.
In the eastern ana middle states the
quiet brooks have become completely
metamorphOsed; they are either rag
ing torrents destroying bridges and
even villages in their course, or they
are reduced to sun-baked beds Of
gravel and sand. The great rivers
like the Mississippi and the Ohio are
over their banks threatening the entire
country for miles around or are a SER
les of shallow channels between sand
bars, too wet for the cultivation of
corn, too dry for navigation.
1t does not matter to the boatmen
on the Ohio and Mississippi whether
God Almighty or the government keeps
mp the trackage. so it keeps up. But
the time is at hand when the govern
ment cannot keep up the trackage un-
less it changes it's tactics-it cannot
do it alone by dredging. but it must
unite with God Almighty and do it ac-
cording to His plans and specifica-
tions. The forests and reservoirs
which one time kept the great father
of waters flowing steadily and majesti-
cally toward the sea must be restored; /;
there is no other alternative.
The arid west demands the attention
of the government. Millions should
be spent to reclaim those vast areas
which want only water to become
Edens. But in this solicitude for the
west the east should not be neglected.
The east is in a fair way to become a
desert not from the want of water but
from allowing it to go to waste.
The Millions of dollars that are spent
yearly improving the channels of oul
large rivers is used to undo what the
spring floods have done. 1t that
money were taken for the purpose ol
building reservoirs and in reforestine
waste land along these river courses
it would in time mitigate the evil. Be
fore the trees were all cut in the tim
