Inspected BY General Corhin.

HELENA, Sept. 23.-Maj. Gen. Henry
c. Corbin, adiutant general of the
United States army, was the guest
jointly today Of Sen ator Thomas H.
Carter and the people Of Helena gen.
orally, as we'll as of the officers of the
army stationed at Fort Harrison. In
the afternoon formal inspection and
review Of the troops on the parade
grounds OF the garrison was held,
which consumed about two hours.
General Corbin will leave during
the night for NIissoula, and will even
tually proceed to the Pacific coast.
Before leaving Montana, however, he
may decide to visit Fort Assinniboine
for purposes of inspection.
In an interview tonight, Major Gen
eral Corbin stated that it was the plan
of the war department to enl large Fort
Harrison SO that the local fort would
provide accommodations for the great.
er part of a regiment, the remainder
Of which would be stationed at Fort
Missoula. At the present time the
Twenty.fourth Infantry is divided be.

Another Dynamite Outrage.

HELENA, Sept, 22.-The dynamite
fend was abroad again during the
night, his operations, as in several
previous cases, being directed agains,
the Northern Pacific railroad. About
LOO O'Clock this morning, as the Lo.
gan "stub' was pulling out of the
Helena station, the engine exploded a
dynamite torpedo which had been at
tached to the rail- The entire train
passed over the spos where the dyna-
mite was placed without leaving the
rail, but came to an immediate stop.
The force of the explosion blew out
the lights in the engine and many
windows Of the coaches, bat aside from
this and a slight shaking up of few
of the passengers, no other damage
was done and the train proceeded to
Logan. The railway officials are at a
loss to explain the motives for the at.
tempted dynamiting of the train as il
is only stub and carries no partcu
larly valuable treasure.
There are already confined in the
Helena Jail two men who are accused
of having knowledge Of the dynamite
outrages perpetrated near Livingston
and Bozeman several weeks ago. The
officers claim to have strong case
az gainst them and the theory has beer
advanced that the parties who have
made the more recent attempts are
friendly to them.
