Tn Cripple Creek, Benjamin's assay of- flee north of the Florence and Cripple Creek depot, were blown up.
 In the town of Gold Field about mile and a half north of here, almost simulta neously Boyces office and another assay establishment were wrecked. Boyce's fam fly occupied an adjoining room. Mrs. Boyce was blown out of bed, but escaped without fatal injuries. She was badly shocked. A family living in the other assay office was also blown out of bed, but escaped serious injury.
 Deputies Ordered Out.
 In this city the powder was placed un- der the building. The house in which family lived next to the Williams assay office here was much damaged, and a woman was prostrated. Sheriff Robert son has called out his deputies and is taking all means to discover if possible the perpetrators of the crime. The gen eral impression here this morning is that the acts are for a general movement to rid the district of all high grade ore purchasing institutions.
 For years there has been systematic stealing of rich ore from the mines amounting to thousands of dollars month ly. It is alleged that more than fifty assayers in the district have made a business of buying such ore. Recently the Mine Owners Association discovered that shipments of high grade ore had been made by assayers from this dis trict to a smelter at San Francisco and a smelter at Salt Lake, but all efforts to stop the traffic were unavailing.
 Bloodhounds from Canon City have been called for.

TREATY NOT NULLIFIED,
Interesting Decision Involving Extra.
 dition Treaty With Germany.

Washington, February 24.-Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court today delivered the courts opinion in the case of Terlin- den vs. Ames. Terlinden is a citizen of Prussia and consequently of Ger many and was apprehended in Chi cago, and application made under our treaty with Prussia of 1852 for extra dition for an offense committed in Prussia. The proceeding was resisted on the ground that the absorption of Prussia nullified the treaty.
 An application for a writ of habeas corpus was denied by the lower courts. This action was affirmed by today's decision. Chief Justice Fuller said the treaty and the fact that Prussia had become part of the German em- pire did not destroy the identity of Prussia.

thither by news of the fierce conflict that was raging. and on the floor the youthful Senator from Texas (Mr. Bailey) was hotly engaged with several of the older leaders on the Republican side over the right of the two Senators from South Carolina, who are in contempt of the Senate. to vote on the Philippine bill. The excitement at the moment was so great that even the entrance of foreign prince, unwonted as 1t was could hardly divert attention from the great debate which was in progress Senator Frye, with the prince at his side mounted the rostrum and invited him to be seated. ] he Senators cn the floor and spectators in the galleries had risen at his appear ance, but there was no audible 1emon- stration.
 Sat By Side of President.
 He took a seat by the President pro- tenn and Senator Frye resumed the gavel which he had yielded to Senator Hoar, and the debate proceeded. The Prince watched the scene keenly as the young Texas Senator tried the mettle first of one adversary and then of another. The two South Carolina Senators, of whose en- counter last Saturday the Prince was fully advised, sat on the right of MT. Baily. with only a single chair, occupied by Representative Jackson of Kansas, be- tween them. The Prince several times glanced at them but apepared far more interested in the question at issue than the personality of those 1t affected. For fully twenty minutes he sat completely engrossed by the scene before him. At last Ambassador von Holleben, who sat below him at the clerks desk, suggested 1t was time to go. whereupon the Prince thanked Senator Frye and arose. Sem ator Frye interrupted the Senate with a rap of his gavel. The Senators imme- diately stood up while tho people in the galleries crained their necks. Then as the Prince ascended the steps and stood Tor 'an instant lowing his acknowledge ments ere he took his departure the gal leries broke into applause. The Prince departed through the main door, the Senators remaining on their feet until he had disappeared. He was then joined by his suite and passed to the street door where the carriages were in waiting. The plaza at the time was filled with people who cheered as the Prince was driven hurriedly away.
 Reception to Diplomatic Corps.
 One of the most brilliant functions of the day was at p. m. when Prince Hen ry received at the German embassy the members of the diplomatic corps includ- ing the Ambassadors and ministers, ac- companied by their staffs of government naval and civil attaches, all iE full uni form. The scene as these many diplo- m atic officers of high rank mingled with Prince, Admirals, general and members of many of the noble houses of Europe, was brilliant.
