A DOOMED CAMP.
Town of Rockford, S. D., on Fire and
 Helpless.

Deadwood. s. D., November 2S.-At an early hour this morning fire broke out in the eastern part of the town of Rockford. A high wind was blowing at the time and the fire spread with great rapidity. It soon enveloped the only business street of the camp. The camp has no fire department, and as 1t is far from any other town from which assistance can be sent it looks as though it was doomed to destruc- tion.
 At D. m. half of the camp had been burned over. and it was thought that the rest would be destroyed.
 The fire started from a defective fiue. The loss will be heavy and the insur- ance small.

CAN'T STAND MILES.
His Enforced Retirement is Con-
sidered Certain.

Washington, April 1.-THE issues are
fairly joined between the lieutenant
general and the secretary Of war. The
troubles which began long ago under
the Cleveland administration have
finally reached so critical stage that the
compulsory retirement Of General Miles
at an early date is an open secret and is
not denied at the White House. In eX-

after a patient trial President Roosevelt
feels that ON the highest ethical grounds
his retention would work grave and last

said that it would be unfair to retire
him. it should be said in the first place
that he secured his promotion to a brig

Presidents, many incumbents of the
White House having Worshiped there In
former years. Among his parishioners
were President Cleveland, many cab

He was the most popular minister at
the national capital, and his church
was crowded to the doors; but urgent
calls from other quarters were multi
plying, and he finally decided, though
not without reluctance, to give up local
pastoral work and devote himself ex-
clusively to answering these demands.
He retired from active connection with
the Washington church in 1900. and
thereafter gave himself up wholly to
editorial work and preaching and lee
turing.

editorial and other literary work his
book royalties and his lectures netted
