KEocH TO Be REBUILT
WILL BE MADE PERMANENT
STONE POST.
Commanding Officer of Historic Mil
itary Station Says Work Will
Begin Next Spring.
Miles City, Sept. 19.-The Yellow

Miles City, Sept. 19.-The Yellow
stone Journal of today says:
Colonel Thomas, now in command
at Fort keogh, was in town this
morning the bearer OF the very graft
flying intelligence that at army head
quarters it had been definitely decid-
ed to rebuild Fort Keogh in modern
style and of a capacity to acccmmo-
date a full regiment Of troops-infan-
try and cavalry-and two batteries of
light artillery.
plans on this line" said Colonel
Thomas, have already been ,prepar-
ed in the quartermaster generals Of
fee, and if no change is made be-
tween now and spring, the work of
rebuilding will m as soon as
the weather will permit. The sewer
age system about to be contracted
for is a part of the permanent plan,
but the connections with the present
buildings will be of a temporary char
acter as all the old buildings will be
replaced by permanent stone struc-
lures"
Colonel Thomas was very much
pleased to be able to communicate
this good news as he was sure it
would he fully appreciated by the peo-
pie of Miles City who have for many
years hoped for this outcome. In
the colonel's opinion the decision. was
mainly reached by the army beard
because of the very large military res
ervation attached to Fort Keogh-
practically ten miles square-contain-
ing every variety of topography and
thus adapted to extensive and com
prehensive field maneuvers of troops
and particularly because of the al
most ~unexcelled target range offered
for field artillery, it being about the
only place in the country where shot
ted guns can be safely used in prac-
tice.S
While fully mindful of Colonel
Thomas caution that something
might interfere to ~disarrange present
plans, the Journal feels a moderate
measure of felicitation may be indulg
ed in over the prospect Of a new Fort
| Keogh. Should it come about it will
be one of three or four principal posts
in the country, ranking with Riley
| Leavenworth and new Smelling. Al
Ways a pleasant station, the new Fort
Keogh will be a Mecca of all army
men, as in the past it has only lack
ed modern features to make it all thai
could be desired as a station.

ANOTHER GUESS AS TO HENDER-
SONS WITHDRAWAL.
WAS SERVED WITH NOTICE
Told That He Could Not Be Reflect
ed a. Speaker Of the
House.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Very re-
luctantly Washington public men are
making up their minds today, after
reading the latest word from Dubuque,
that, in all probability, Speaker Hen
derson means business with his de-
clination OF the congressional NOM
ination. They had counted unduly o.
the effect Of the pressure which they
knew would be brought, to bear on
him by President Roosevelt and 9th
er republican leaders.
That pressure has availed nothing.
Colonel Henderson still insists that he
syill retire. And, in truth, politicians
here do not now see how he can do
anything else, but they are unanimous
in believing that the real reason for
the retirement does not appear in any
thing thus far made public by Colonel
Henderson.
In these dispatches yesterday the
idea was advanced that Colonel>Hen-
derson had been Influenced by the
friction in the Iowa party and the
growing prominence of the Cummins
faction, which is hostile to him. That,
no doubt, had much to do with the
matter, but today Washington is ad-
vancing another idea, which also has
many adherents. It is said that Col
onel Henderson has retired because
notice has been served on him that II
reelected to the ffty-eighth congress,
he cannot hope to retain his position
as speaker. Opposition to him as q
presiding officer had been general and
at times very bitter. AS speaker, he
has made many enemies in congress
and cooled the ardor of many friends.
On top of this fact comes the prob
ability that the ffty-eighth congress
will revise the tariff. If it does, it
will elect a revisionist speaker. Col
onel Henderson is opposed to revi-
sion. He would not want to come
back to congress and serve in the
ranks, hence, his plan to retire.
All gossip as to his successor is
far-fetched at present. Numerous
.'favorite sons" will come forward,
and in the mixup Of candidates it can
not be guessed at this distant date
who will win. One Of the strongest
of them will be Representative Can
non Of Illinois. Logically, the place
should be his. but congress is not al
ways logical. A fight within the party
over the tariff, trusts, or any other
question. might sweep aside all "fa.
vorite sons and elect a man thus far
unnamed.
Washington thinks that Speaker
Henderson's exit from the stage is
anything but dignifed or graceful.
His friends are disappointed.
