FIERCE FIRE.
Raging in the Homestake Mine
at Deadwood-Overcome
by Gas.

Deadwood, March q. The Home
stake mine is on FIRE and for twenty
four hours desperate fight has been
waged against the steadily increasing
flame. The worst of the situation is
that the battle has to be fought prac-
tically in the dark, as at no time, ow-
ing to the gas and the smoke. have the
men been able to approach sufficiently
near even to determine the exact loca-
tion of the flames
Last night when the night shift went
on flames were discovered near the 500
foot level. and the alarm of fire was at
once turned in The mine is we'll
equipped with IRE apparatus and plenty
OF water, and for time nothing seri-
GUS was expected. All night long men
fought the flames until overcome by the
deadly gas and smoke, and they were
carried out unconscious.
At an early hour this morning the
dry house was turned into an emerg-
ency hospital, as the company hospital
was full to overfowing. Between 8
and ! / clock this morning nearly 100
men were cared for by the physicians,
and fully 200 in all were overcome
An effort was made to drive back the
gas by compressed air and water, but
it failed, and little before noon En-
gineer Blackstone ordered every man
out Of the mine. Since then the at
tempt to deal with the flames has been
confined to turning several streams of
water into the open cnt which connects
directly with the 800 foot level
From there the water will on find
its way to the fire. 1t is thought that
the fire originated from blasting out
some old timber yesterday afternoon,
as it is located near the 500 foot level
where such work was being done
Just where the fire is or over how
great an area it has extended no one
knows. Cn the 500 foot level is an
immense bulkhead, and the danger now
is that the flames may reach this, from
where they would readily spread to the
other levels, as the timbers are old and
of pine.
All afternoon the smoke and gas
have been coming out of the shafts
with one exception, SO that it was i'm
posi- BILE for anyone to descend, but SO
far there av9 been no fatalities. Even
the company's horses and mules. kept
in stable on the 500-foot level, wsie
brought out in safety.

Efforts 10 Delay Provisions ol
the Divorce Law by
Referendum.

Sioux Falls, March 27.--Notwith-
standing the public announcement of
thos. opposing the submission of The
new divorce law to the voters of the
state at the general election next year
that arrangements had been made to
have the names of those who sign the
referendum petition published through
out the state, those who are pushing
the matter of having the new law sub
mitted to the voters of South Dakota
at the general election next year under
the terms of the referendum amend
ment to the state constitution declare
that they will be able to secure the
signatures of double the number of
qualified voters required by the amend
ment in order to have proposed new
law first submitted to the voters for
adoption or rejection. One of the per-
sons who is engaged in circulating the
petitions for signatures state that only
about one out of FIVE refuse to attach
their signatures. Others state that
fully so per cent. of those approached
sign tn petitions. 1t is further stated
by those circulating the petitions that
some sign them, although personally
opposed to the defeat OF the new di-
vorce law, but declare the voters should
have a right to express themselves upon
the matter If they desire TO do 80. Both
sides are keenly watching each other.
and if the influence of the churches
prevails the law will not be submitted
to the voters, but will go into effect
July l next, as contemplated by the
legislature when the law was enacted.

IT WAS THE BEST YET.
Raasone Ard Isle OF Bong Bong" Score Big
Hit AT The Colonial.

There have been many musical com
edies here this season. perhaps toe
many TO satisfy critical theatregoers.
but The Isle of Bong Bong, which
played at the Colonial Saturday is SO
full Of tune and originality that even
cynical people who saw il must admit
its merits. The welcome rendered il by
the audience was liberal and cordial.
An Indian scene in the second act in
which practically the entire company
takes part, was especially well re-
ceiyed. In this, particularly, the
singing was original and good.
Taking tThe Isle Of Bong Bong
and Judging it by the standards which
ii attempts TO achieve, it is good.
Good all the way through. Mr.. Whit
ney has provided the production with
a reasonable number OF goodlooking
young women, who dance and sing
and then disappear TO return presently
in other dresses and dance and sing
again. The piece is bright, the music
pretty and the manoeuvers and group
ings of the stage forces are very elfec-
tive. 1t is presented by an exception
al east headed by John w. Ransone,
who coined the phrase SNas you elfer
in Zin-zin-nati' and made not only
it but the character of the brewer in
the Prince of Pilser famous
throughout two continents.
The role OF the servant 10 the count
gives Mr.. Kansone ample opportunity
to display his ability as comedian
and he uses original tactics, which,
combined with facial expressions
and comical makeup, brings out the
character in a laughable manner. His
fun-making is artistic and decidedly
fascinatating. He has mellow
voice OF good quality which material
ly aids him MS a comedian. The two
interludes San Antonio, which is a
western tragedy in song and panto-
mine, and Heap Love, a wierd In
dian song and spectacle, were en-
received and many times
encored. 'San Antonio tells the
story of two COW wboys' love for one
girl. Nearly the entire company dress
ed in the characteristic western garb,
down to the last detail of alkali dust,
illustrated the melodrama condensed
in these conventional verses and by
tableaux, pictures, movements and n
vivid poker game, carried out the
events in strong presontment. =
The Indian number-rHeap Love-
is of a similar character, the impressive
stage pictures carrying out with fine
spirit the Indian ideas. A charming
new song, novel and attractive and
called Just a Bit of Blarney" was
sung by Paquita in the first act, and
there were several other features that

MAY GO TO POUGHKEEPSIE.
Middies Would Like TO Try Eightoared Grew
On The Hudson In June.

strong efforts are being made TO
obtain official permission for the mid
shipmen TO enter their eight-oared
crew in the regatta at Poughkeepsie
this season, which takes place on June
26. A number OF leading naval OH
GERS at the Academy and in Washin G.
ton have taken the matter up, and
there is excellent prospect of success.
The midshipmen leave on the SUM-
mer cruise early in June, but II is
thought that it will be possible to Sc
cure permission for the members of the
crew and one or two others to remain
at the Academy until few days be-
fore the race, and then go TO the Hud-
son until after the race, possibly re-
joining the fleet at some point on the
Northern coast. The fact that the an
nual race with the University of Penn
sylvania on the Severn is likely TO be
called Off makes the Academy more
anxious 10 get in the big race.
Under Coach Glendon the navy crews
have done splendid work during the
last three seasons, and have forced
themselves among the leading aquatic
institutions. 1t is felt that they have
won place for themselves that en-
titles them 10 greater recognition by
tthe Academy and the Navy at large,
and this is being urged as reason
for asking the required permission TO
enter the race on the Hudson. How
ever, the Navy crews have only
rowed in two-mile races, and there
would have to be a period of special
training and prac tice to get them
into condition for the long race.
The management of rowing at the
Academy has closed negotiations for a
race between the midshipmen fresh
en- crew and the. junior crew of the
Ariel Boat Club of Baltimore, for
June 1. This will be big day for
aquatic sports at the Academy, as
the race between the middies' varsity
eight and the first crew of the Ariels
is also to be held. The contest be-
tween the Ariel juniors and the navy
freshmen will be merged into tri-
angular event, as the Cascadilla
School, Of Ithaca, n. y, will send
its eight to Annapolis on the same
date.
The middies' season of rowing will
open with Georgetown on April 9, at
which time the varsity and freshmen
eights of the Washington institution
are scheduled to row against the navy S
first and second crews. However, the
Georgetown freshmen have asked that
their race be postponed until May A,
as the date set is rather early in the
season and is coupled with the fact
that the freshmen have no other races
scheduled except that one. The mid
shipmen have accepted this offer will
ingly and this will make May an
other big day for rowing at the Acad-
emy. The same day Yale will row
against the navy's first eight and the
navy's freshmen will compete with the
Georgetown Preparatory School.

Bass Soloist For Cantata.

Arrangements have been made for
Mr. Peacock, of Baltimore. TO sing
the bass solos in the sacred cantata
''The CrucifNion, = to be sung at st.
Anne's Church next Sunday after
noon. Mr.. Peacock sang the bass
solos in The Last Judgment, sung
by the same choirTn December last.
The rector of st. Anne's announced
to the congregation yesterday as the
cantata is a long one and unlike sim
liar composition) of the nature of a
service, with parts for the congrega-
ton to- join in. Evening Prayer would
be read, without any music, at
O'Clock.
The choir will not enter the church
and chancel until 4.30 p. m. the usual
hour for Evening Prayer at st. Anne's 5
Church, and will begin to render the
cantata at once. Those who have at
tended the service will have but
about FIVE or ten minutes between it
and the cantata. This has been
thought better than shortening the SER
vice. for even if shortened as much as
possible, the cantata of 'The Cruel
fixion, taxing an hour and twenty
minutes TO render. prolongs the service
far beyond its usual time.

The village OF Bristol, consisting of
a church. several stores and a black
smith shop, is located in the Eighth
election district of Anne Arundel
county, about two miles and a-half
from the PatuNent river. The name
of Bristol was used by the steamboat
company that landed at Big Point,
Patuxent river, TO designate. that
landing, and about a half century
ago the people of the now real viii
Iage of Bristol, then called ''Tha
Oaks obtained postoflice under
the name of Bristol.
The people of Pig Point viewed this
flank movement by which their land
ing was deprived of the official title
of Bristol, reused themselves for a
countermarch, and had their landing
named Leon and succeeded in having
postoffice created there under the
title of the name given their hamlet.
The Oaks received its name from
the oaks left on the public road and at
1.-THE Oaks by the commissioners
who laid out the road before the war
of 1912. They left, as near apart of a
mile as close as they could get them
to the designated distance, oak trees a
mile distant from each other on the
public road for nearly score OF
miles, and at THE Oaks" cluster
of these noble trees.
The British marched over this road
on their way to Bladensburg. Nc
tradition appears even to tell the date
of the settling Of The Oaks but as
this section was settled in the early
DAYS OF the settlement of Anne Arun-
del, which began in l649. ii may be
concluded that the site of 1.-THE
Oaks was inhabited by the white
man some time between 1850 and 1869.

BOXING pREuMINsRIES ON.
Busy Times Or Mat And Iu' The Ring Al
The Naval Academy.

The preliminaries of the boxing and
wrestling competition at the Naval
Academy began this afternoon and
will continue during every afternoon
on week days for two weeks or more.
The finals in these events and the COM
petition in gymnastic work will he
held at the annual Academy tourna-
ment, which viii probably be held on
March so.
The dual contest in gymnastics with
the University of Pennsylvania has
given a great impetus To this line Of
work. though the efficient force of in
structors at the Academy is handi-
capped by the lack of room in the
present gymnasium. There Will be
four classes in both boxing and wrest-
ling this sea on instead of three, as
previously. They will bs the light
weight. welter weight thetween light
and middle weightl, the middle
weight and the heavy weight, the
welter weight class being the new
one.
In both of these lines of sport il is
believed that the showing of the mid
shipmen will be better than ever.
Mr.. Otto Steifens, one of the instruc-
tors, has been devoting special attention
to w resting. and Mr.. l.. Schultz, TO
boxing. Both of these are very cap
able instructors in these lines. As in
dicated by their excellent showing
against Pennsylvania, the midship-
men have a number of fine gymnasts
and in this work, TO which Mr.. l.. H..
Mang has been giving special atten-
tion. there is sure TO be creditable
performance at the annual tourna-
ment.
The meet with Pennsylvania was
gotten up unexpectedly and the local
gymnasts had never before been in a
competitive meet, while most of the
visitors were veterans. The contests
at the tournament will be in the
same events as on Saturday against
Pennsylva and parallel
bars, sidehorse, flying rings and
tumbling. The position of these
different branches of sport at the Ma
val Academy is unique in that ii en-
ters, along with other branches, into
the competition between the twelve
companies of the brigade for the honor
of carrying the colors, the highest
honor TO be won by any body of mid
shipmen.
Into this competition also enters
the work done by the midshipmen
in the various professional branches
such as seamanship, target practice
and infantry and artillery drill.
