fOrded by the bills consideration to
protest against the repeal of the

it and Senator Fairbanks supported
1t. All amendments to the measure
were rejected and it was passed by
a vote of SO to Is.

willfully and maliciously kill the
president or any officer on whom the
duties of president may devolve, or
any sovereign of a foreign country,
or shall attempt to kill any of the
persons named shall suffer death;

advise or counsel the killing of any
of the persons named, or shall con-
spire to accomplish their death, shall

protect the president, without any
unnecessary display" and the secre-
tary is authorized to make regula-
tions as to the dress, arms and equip
ment of such guard.

RIVER SIX MILES WIDE.
Ice Gorge on the Upper Missouri Has
Caused an Overflow of Forty Miles
of Country.

Chamberlain, S. d., March 22.-An
ice gorge which has been forming in
the Missouri river at this place for
some time, has reached a point which

lowlands for 40 miles up the river
The channel has reached width of
six miles in some places. The ice

flood if the gorge is not broken. Dy-
Mantle is being used, but without
effect up to the present.

MILES MAKES A THREAT.
Says If the New Army Bill Becomes a Law
He Will Resign as Lieutenant
General.

Washington, March 21.-Gen. Mel
son A. Miles Thursday told the SEN
ate committee on military affairs that
if the bill introduced by Senator Haw-
ley at the instance of the war depart
ment for the organization of a gen

a law he would decline to longer hold
his commission. The reason he gave
is that the bill is utterly subversiye

not be party to such a proceeding
to the extent even of continuing to
hold his place.

The entertainment given by the New

been favored with performance of
equal merit. The numbers were all
gems and each member of the troupe is
an artist. The entertainment was
proof of the fact that pure and refined
song or monologue can be as funny as
one which has the tinge Of the vulgar.
The audience was highly pleased and
enjoyed every number, and it is sure
thing that when Newman comes again
the house will DO filled.
