C. : Friday : Senator Bamble proposed two amendments to I , he : rivers and harbors bill in the sen- ite , and will urge their adoption when ' , . ; ihat measure is considered. One ' J imendment increases the appropria- . . tion for maintenance of the Missouri ; 1. iver the coming year from $175,000 to $500,000 ; , and provides that this sum shall be available for use on the rivers I . , only : from Fort Benton to Kansas City I. instead of to the mouth of the Mis- t souri : , as required by the measure : I which passed the house. The other : : . imendment submitted by Senator ' Samble appropriates $52,000 for the control of the flood waters of the Big 3ioux and the construction of dams in . Lakes Kampeska and Poinsett. When the rivers and harbors bill I was before the house last week the ' Pakota and Nebraska members made an effort to have the $175,000 appro- priation for maintenance of the Mis- - souri apply only to the upper river above Kansas City , contending this , tvas only fair in view of the $1,000,000 . " \ ippropriatetd for the improvement of ' Ihe river below Kansas City. Their , amendment was defeated after a spirit- " 2d debate and a close vote in the house , and Senator Gamble according- ly i has considerable hope of getting an increased appropriation this session , -for the upper Missouri. Senator Gample's proposition to se- - cure a more permanent stage of the Missouri by controlling the flood wa- ' , , / ters of the Big Sioux has been recom- I jnended already by army engineers , i ' who some time ago made the survey \ for dams in Lakes Kampeska and Potn- I sett. These danis , in addition to fur- o . , bishing protection against the Big - ' . Sioux floods , could be utilized to pro- duce power for both Sioux Falls and - 'Sioux City , and it is believed that 1 eventually they would greatly aid the I , manufacturing industries of both these ' cities. The senate passed Gamble's bill ex- ' tending for a year the charter for the . . i ! Yankton , Norfolk and Southern rail- " - , road to construct a bridge at Yank.

"New York : Prosecutor Garven said : ; "Friday that , acting on his resolution , t the Hudson - county grand jury of New Jersey.had instructed him to draw up i' . , . a form of an indictment against the ! . , National Packing company and its di j ' rectors. The grand jury , he said had _ positive evidence that food products in d some instances have been kept in cold I . .storage for seven years. : It was stated with much positive- . . r ness that the National Packing com . ii pany had already been indicted. . . . . Pros- ' ' - ecutor Garven's statement , although 1 ! - ; technically a denial , forecasts such ac- I " Lion in the near future , and it \ is un- IE * -flestood that the indictment finally j I presented will probably be for conspir- i ' . t acy in restraint of trade , as the court r r instructed the jury it might find in its , charge. 3n Mr. Garven's belief the best proof r . 'Of a conspiracy to restrain trade lay ' in the minutes of the National Packing I I company , which had been read to the . grand jury. Under a provision of New ' , -Jersey law the minutes of corpora- r . r , : ' , ' Aliens chartered by the state are al ' ways available. I ° Jn the directorate of the National i .

Kuropatkin to Review Russian Army Reorganization _ ' St. Petersburg : Gen. Kuropatkin , who ' since the Russo-Japanese war has devoted himeslf alihost exclusively to literary labors , is now working on a new book , "Russia's Military Prob- lems. " In it he discusses 'the program of the army reorganization , defects in the upper strata of tho army , the all important questions of the defense of the western frontier and the protec- tion of whatjte left of Russia's far east- ern empire. Gen. Kuropatkin is known to pos- sess views on Manchuria and the forti- fications of Poland strongly differing from those held in high military and diplomatic circles , and the new book , it is said , will be only slightly less sen- sational than the fourth volume of his history of the Russo-Japanese war. It will probably be only for circulation in the general staff an $ l higher adminis- tration spheres unauthorized for eign translations. - DEPOSIT GUARANTY LAW.

Senate Company , by Instrf'cting , members of the committee to ignore the summons. The Senate denied the right of the courts to interfere with its legislative function.
