PROTEST FILED.

Senator Hansbrough filed a protest
with the secretary of the treasury
against the arbitrary manner in which
the customs officials at Niagara Falls
have been treating a number of his
constituents, who go back and forth
from Canada to North Dakota during
the winter months.
Within the past week a party Of
North Dakotans, who reside in the
northern part Of the state, had their
baggage held up for no reason whatever
except that the customs officials claim
ed they We're e~ndeavorfng to smuggle
goods into the United States without
paying duty.
Senator Hansbrough is determined
that his constituents, who see fit to
visit Canada, shall not be molested by
the custom officials without due cause.

The city election for the choice OF
four aldermen will be held on Monday
next There is not the interest in the
election that there would be if party
lines were drawn or if there were dis
satisfaction with the work of the pres
ent administration. 1t is the general
opinion that the present administration
has given the city a clean business adj
ministration and no reasons have been
advanced why the present officials OF
the city should not have the support OF
the voters on Monday. Citizens of
Bismarck feel that the administration
has been doing good work, and should
be allowed to continue their work for
the good Of the city.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

Senator Hansbrough and Congress
man Marshall have been active in be-
half of settlers in the northern part
of the state, who were prevented by
the storm and floods from settling on
their lands within the time provided
by law. Both the senator and repre-
sentative have been to see the officials
Of the general land Office regarding the
matter and have been assured that
contest brought against actual SET
tiers, who may have been unable to
keep within the strict letter OF the
law in the matter Of settlement on
their claims, will have no standing
with the land Office department. This
will tend ito discourage sharks who are
endeavoring to prey on the necessi-
ties of actual settlers.

Senator Hansbrough announces that
he intends to devote much attention
to the question of reciprocity with Cam
ada. The Minneapolis Journal thinks
that is a field that offers splendid
opportunity for some statesman. The
man who can take hold OF that idea
and stand by it to a victorious con-
clusion will make a great name for
himself. The man with n dominant
ing idea is the man who wins in poll
rics as in other things. Leaving aside
the broader question of general reel
procity, there is the question Of rec
iprocity with Canada, which is alone
enough of an issue to carry any man
INTO fame.

A Cannon Ball dispatch says that

buffaloes has Poor Lo had such a
plethora of fresh meat. The late storm
left dead cattle and sheep lying on the
prairie in all directions and, as the In
dams are not as particular as white

Of animals they eat, they are bringing
in wagon loads of c-arcasses. They dry
the meat for future use, and save the
sineWs for sewing their moccasins. AS
this is the time OF year the Indians are
the hungriest, the storm came at an
opportune time from an Indian point
of view. There were no deaths among
the Indians, the loss among their stock
will probably be about 10 per cent.

DRY naturally arises when we question
the source of the foundation which has
been thus supposed to rise from the
ocean bed. If we could find reason
to suppose chat the debris of the ocean
bed could be raised in this way, the
theory might find more acceptance in
the eyes of scientific men, but one cal
tage of this theory as compared with
the simpler view of Darwin.
1t Is said that every layer of sea
water, 100 fathoms deep and mile
square I'm extent, viii afford more than
sixteen tons OF carbonate OF lime. IL
this material be used by the chalk an
imalcules It might be supposed a foun-
dation could In this way be formed,
spread over a mile square II would
only form a layer not more than
1-1000th of an inch in thickness, or at
most the tenth of an inch. The time
occupied in building up a foundation
from miles of sea depth on this esti-
mate would be simply inconceivable.
or. as another authority estimates the
annual accumulation of chalk would
not exceed the 1-9000th part OF an inch,
and therefore 1t would require lOO.0 600
years to form a layer one foot thinck.
On this basis, If from the ocean bed
100 fathoms of water, say, are TO be
built through to the lowest limits OF
the coral life, we should require a lay
er of rs fathoms chick. To effect this
As 900, 900 of years would be required
at the ordinary rate OF deposition. On
grounds Ike these we may well rest
content to hold that Darwin's theory
explains the erection of coral reefs
consistently with the facts Of nature.
and not the least wonderful part of
the story of the corals consists In the
construction of an adequate explana-
ton of difficulty which, prior TO
Darwin seemed insuperable to scien-

THE FLOOD AT COLUMBUS.
The River still Rising and other
Bridges in Danger.

Bridges in Danger.
Columbus, Ga, Feb. 2S.-The Chat
tahoochee river at this point is still
raging, but the rise is now very slow.
The stock and handle factory of the
Southern Pillow Company's plant is fully
a foot under water, and the Muscogee
Ice Works are completely surrounded.
Both these have suspended operations.
The Seaboard Air Line track on Bay
street has been undermined by the wa
ters, and a great portion of it has caved
in. The warehousemen on Bay street
have erected breakwaters to their
doors and battened them down securely
to keep out the water.
Tonight the water is within a few
inches of the flooring of the lower wa
gon bridge and it's safety is question
able. The destruction of the bridge
would mean the loss of the Mobile and
Girard railroad bridge, just half block
below.
Reports from the vicinity around say
all the bridges on the creeks are wash
ed away.
The Mobile and Girard railroad track
is under water to depth of three or
four feet on the Blckerstaff place six
miles below here for a dozen miles.
The first train over the Seaboard in
two days arrived at 10 O'Clock tonight.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The storm which

the United States gave a generous
share of it's attention to New York
city. During the afternoon for short
time the rain fell in torrents and the
wind blew gale at the rate of sixty

the waters on the bay very rough and
lntertered with shipping considerably.

Edgefeld. S. c., Feb. 2S.-At Edge
field this evening Lieut.. Gov. Tillman,
nephew of the Senator, said in regard
to his telegram to President Roosevelt
withdrawing the invitation to present
the Jenkins sword:
II regret very much that am COM
PEELED to make any further statement
in this matter. 1 do not see why it
has called forth so much comment,
but | do not propose to be placed in
the light by my, conduct of having
been the cause of President ROOSEVELT
decision not to attend the Charleston
Exposition. If such construction has
been placed upon it either by him or
the citizens of Charleston, l deplore It
deeply. He may, however, make this
the pretext for not attending the ex-
position but it cannot be the cause l
am in no way connected
with the exposition, officially,
or otherwise, and did not
attempt to so represent it in my tele-
gram to the PRESIDENT.
1.-THE matter of the presentation of
the two and was purely a. private and
social concern with which those now
loud in their criticism of me had moth
ing to do. AS for the telegram received
by me from contributors that is a mat
ter with which those who did not con-
tribute have no concern. / have no
doubt however, that they like myself
are ready to abide by the result OF their
action. l do not care and do not pro-
pose to have anything more to say
however, l may be slandered"
