IMPORTANT TO INSURERS.
The safety of the assured depends as much upon the skill sad knowledge of
the AGENT as upon the soundness of the company. The ability properly
to write policies and make the endorsements so frequently called for, as
well as to give the advice needed and asked for by abhoost every
person assured, is not acquired in a few days or months, but requires
the study and ezperience of YEARS. It is well known that most
of the delay ad trouble attending the settlement of losses is the
result of the ignoranee of AGENTS through whom the insurance
is effecte, and their inability to render needed assistance
at the time of and after a fire.

Comcralag tie Flood that was met.
Eager watchers on the banks of
Tongue river were agreeably disap
wpinted of seeing the town flooded
even to the slightest extent. At 9
o'clock yesterday morning the prelimn.
inary break up occurred and up till 12
o'ch'wk the river ran smoothly. Earny
in the asferu'on a Korge formed in the
bEAd about a qarter mile above the rail
road bridge, extending up the river
three miles. A judicious use of giant
powder loosened this gorge and exclt
ed crowds rushed to the river bank,
when at 6o'clock the ice was seen and
beard rushing down the river in tre
mendous cakes and crashing and
groaning, took its resistless course to
the monton of the river and was carried
by the force of its passage far out into
the Yellowstone, which was perfectly
clear of Ice and ofdbred no reslstenoe to
the mss. The Tongue was running
bank full. small cake of lee being
thrown up over the bank by the crush.
At 9 o'clock the river was running
free of ice, and any fears of a possible
flood were averted. The latest report
from up the Tongue river is that at
(rimmett' ranch another gorge bad
formed and the lee was piling up
heavy. There can be no danger now
and it is wonderful that such aooumu
lation of ice and water has gone out
without wetting the banks of the Tur
bulent Tongue. cle will probably be

THE FYOTIFIC TION BILL.
Why That Important Mases.e Failed of
Praame.
Asexplaloned in the He rate by Mr.
Dawes, the rock upon which the con
ferees on the fortification appropria
tion bill finally split, was section 8 of
the bill prepared by the Senate confer.
ees. This section authorizes the ad
vilory board to make contract, with
reuaonable steel mauufacturerm for the
supplys 10,000tons of gun steel, subject
to test and inspection at every stage,
and appropriated $6,000,000 for its pur
chase.
The corresponding provision made
by the house conferees was contained
in section , of their bill. This sectikn
appropriated a like sum of $9,000,000
for the purchase of steel, but with the
proviso that ouly so much abodld be
accoepted as would sufice for the fabri
cation of three guns-8, 10 and 12 inch
calibres. These guns were to be tes.
ted by requiring them to endure 200
dischbarges, periods of time rang
Ing from 80 to 120 minutes. If
they tailed to pass these tests, then no
more of the appropriation was to be ex
p.nded in the purchase of steel, but
if they withstood the tests, the re
mainder of the appropriation was to
become available for the purcbase of
steel. The objection of the eonate
conferees to to this proviso was that it
would result in leaving the country
without guns for many years to come,
as it would take at least three or four
years to finish and test the specimen
guns, and in the event of their success,
as many additional years to secure
otters of the same types.
The total appropriation of the House
bill .was $16,572,500, or more by $3,050,.
000 than the Senate conferees bill.
But t1'e House conferee. declare that
the eighth section of the Senate bill
really carried an appro,,riation of
$27,000,000 and explain the apparent
discrepaney by allegiug that $9,tNJ,0,000
onstead of 6,.000,000 will be required
for the purchase of 10,000 tons of steel,
$9,000,000 will be required for the man
ufacture of the steel into guns; $6.000,
000 for carriages and $3,000,000 for
shops and plants. There were many
other polnts of difference between the
two Houses. but according to the
statements of both sides, all of them
were reconcilable with the exception
of the point above noted.-Ex.
Dynamite EspleIten.
New York Telegram: The dynamite
works of Mrs. Mary A. Dttmar, at Bay
Chester, on the Long Island Iound,
blew up for the filth time at I o'clock
to-day, killing one man and leveling
the buildings to the ground. The last
previous explosion was on September
30th, last, when four Italians employed
in the packing house were blown to
atoms. Mrs. l)itmtar was tried for
maintinttining a nul.s.ce and a verdict
of not guilty was rendered. hbe then
caused the building, which had been
razed to the ground, to be rebuilt and
resumed the work iof making dyna
mite. The explosion to-day was in
the mixling hous. The only pereon
in the building was Henry Aitinger, a
German laoorer, aged 23 years. He
was adding the chemical to a vat of

the top and was lined with lead. In

down to a certain point. The operator
evidenoly allowed the temperature to
rise too bigh and the explosion fol
lowed. Max Kruger had left tue
house and had almoet reached the
boiler house when be was stunned by
the crash and the flying debris.
Kruger has been in three of the last
explosions, having on each occasion
just left the building. On eaeb on.a

he recovered from the shock
to-day be found himself sur
rounded with broken and sbattered
timbers and fragments of the young
man's who was at work there at the
time. There were about 400 pounds of
the glyoerine In the vessel-enough to
blow the house and everything it con
tained to atoms. The building was
about 18124 feet in dimensions and
two stories high, built of rough boards.
There is not a vestige of it left except
small black splinters about two or
three inebee long. The site of the
building is marked by a hole about
ten test deep and twenty feet in di
ameter. The detonation was heard at
a distance of tweatyfive miles. The
sboek was felt it all the surrounding
villages, end people ran out of their
r uses ina panic. tnking It an earthb
quake. Windows were broke nearly
a mile away. The unfortunate young
man's body could not all be fouod.

skull and a foot wblob were put In a
