JIMPSTOW.V. N. D. , Sapt. 10. The terrible
heat of the past few dcys has scorched every
Btubblo Hold nnd hay range In the state unit
the faintest spark Is sufficient to start an
almost unquenchable lire. Intense nnxioty
exists throughout the .state at this time ever
the danger to crops and lives as woll. it
this county nlono over $1,000,000 worth of
wheat lies exposed to lire , which may bo
Ignited now from tlio slightest

a sudden cbnngo in the winds. Near Lisbon
thousands of ncros of wheat have boon de
stroyed. The next few davs nro regarded
with posltivo fear of some extended disaster
lo lifo ns well us property. Small fires
checked by prompt action of neighbors , have
already ruined many farms in the Jim river
vnlloy. Hoports of small llros are coming in
hourly. The sun of the last few days has
made the crass Ilka tinder.
Sioux FAI.I.S , S. D. , Sspt. 10. From al
ever the stnto como reports of unusual luat ;
in some instances the mercury exceeding
100 ° . Near the north state line many
prnirio llros nro reported , but details as to
the losses are unknown. Thus far no loss of
lifo has boon reported from fires. So Intense
bus been the boat in some sections that work
in thoharvost Holds during the day has boon
impossible. Many persons wcro prostrated ant
farmers , taking ndvautairo of the clear
nights , have threshed their grain by moon
light. Unless immediate relief comes the
destruction of wheat by llro will bo
enormous. A prairie fire ravaged the coun
try between White Lake nnd Plankinton yes
terday , causing the destruction of from
$10,000 to $1.1,000. The fire was started by
section men burning a fire break.

Parties from the country say threshing
gangs experience dilllculty in keeping up a
full working force , the heat being so intense
that the men nro unable to continue work in
the sun. The hum of threshing machines
are heard In every direction nil hours of the

DKTIHHT , Mich. , Sept. 10. Not in eight
jears has Detroit experienced such hot
weather as fell to its lot yesterday. The
mercury rose to ninety-eight decrees in the
shade , causing intense suffering. City am
bulances cared for the persons who were
overcome by heat and one of thcso cases will
probably piovo fatal. Work was practically
suspended for three hours during the fore
noon in the neart of the city.
CHIITI : , Nob. , Sept. 10. The week past has
been ouo of high temperature , cloudless sky
and not south winds , which have been very
favorable for maturing the corn corp. The
mean temperature has boon from six to nine
degrees above the normal for this season of
the year ; for four consecutive days the torn-
poraturo rose to oiehty-eighth or ninety de
grees. Tno sunshine has been very much
above the normal. The rainfall has varied
from none or u truce to n llttlo ever half an
inch in different parts of the sta o.
The abnormally high temoorituro of
the past week has brought the corn for
ward very rapidly and boslono much to
make gooa the deficiencies in temperature of
the earlier part of tbo season. The drying
weather bos hastened the ripening of some
of tbo latest corn so that it will not reach
full weight. Much prairie bnv has been
secured during the week ; the ground has be
come so dry us to interfere with fall plow-
incr. The bulletin of next week will bo the
last of the season and observers are re
quested to make as good nn o-stitnato as they
can of the corn corp , comparing it with that
of ISbO.
Dus MOIXBS , In , Sept. 10. This week's
bulletin of the Iowa weather and crop ser
vice says that the daily average tcrapernturo
of the week was over nine degrees above
normal , making the hottest week ever re
corded for the middle of September. In the
state ut largo fully 75 per cent of tbo coru Is
secure and moro than the usual proportion Is
being cut nnd shocked. About 73 per cent
is moro or loss immature , needing from ana
to two weeks to ripen. The prospect is that
the state will produce 85 per coct of a full
crop of sound corn. Haiti is needed for pas
turage ana plowing.
ST. Louis , Mo. Sept. 10. Tbo secretary of
tbo Slate Board of Arglculturo furnishes the
Associated press with the following weather
crop bulletin for the week ending Saturdav ,
September 10 : Except for light showers fn
the rlvor counties there was an absence of
rainfall for the week. Temperature was
nbovo the normal. Sunshine excess
ive. Absence of rain. high tem-
poaature and excess of sunshine has
hastened ripening of the corn , which 1 , for
the most part , maturing well nnd now all is
practically beyond danger of frost. Wheat
seeding is progressing in the northern coun
ties , where the area will bo greatly increased ,
but In the central and southern counties
plowing and planting have been suspended
on account of drouth. Pastures are drying
up , water getting scarce and .stock being re
duced In condition. Drouth is affecting late

The changes which hnvo of late boon sug
gested for the cabinet have unpiossod the
president with the fact that Washington will
bo n pretty lively place soon , polltlcnlly
speaking. There is now very llttlo doubt
that three changes will take place lu the cab
inet before Christmas next. It is auro that
n now secretary of war Is to bo Installed , as
Secretary Proctor becomes n United States
senator within six weeks. It soomj to bo n
foregone conclusion that Attorney Uonoral
Miller will become n United States cir
cuit Judge when the judicial appointments
nro made about the time congress convenes.
It Is accepted in every quarter that Secretary
Noble will either succeed Attorney General
Millar or vacate his present position for pri-
vuto Ufa or an appointment abioad. These
changes glvo widu latitude for political kens
nnd thrust upon the president any quantity
of annoyance , for It Is ,1 hard matter to tniiko
nn Importnnt appointment with nny amount
of good timber ut hand.
Anticipating unusual lifo here the hotels
report many Inquiries for quarters by poli
ticians and these who are fond of looking nt
n friendly political "scrap" but do not take
pan , in it. That congress Is to bo a
bear garden from the day It convenes till it
uulourns , probably Into next summer , tuero
Is no doubt. The democrats will clog up the
wheels of legislation and question every stop
the republicans may propose. The ground
work of both the republican and democratic
national campaigns will bo laid lu congress
nud Iho consultation rooms of the hotels.
Booms will bo created and smashed in a
nik-lit.
The republicans arc felicitating themselves
upon the fact that the bulk of the chufigcs in
oHIces have been mado. The enemies nnd
complications which invariably follow the
selection of n "now outfit" upon the incom
ing of nil presidents uro now known.
1'aciflcation comes withtimo. It is now bo-
comingdaylight sailing. It will soon not bo
"shootiuc in the dark" or 'running ' in the
fog , " to use the terras of the politician. The
record of the republican administration is
about as nearly made ns can bo nf tor the
changes wrought at tbo polls last year by
which the lower house of congress has been
turned over to the rabble to n motley croud
as uncertain in Its inclinations nnd as irre
sponsible ns would bo u parliament elected
at random on the Black sea.
There will bo no policies to formulate on
the part of the administration. The demo
crats have no issues except to oppose tnoso
of the republicans. Thoj have created noth
ing. They propose to fight tbo creative
powers of the republicans. The manouvres
of the majority in the house will bo watched
by the country at lariro with intense interest
not because it is expected to do anything ,
but for the purpose of studying the ten
dencies of n majority selected at random in n
"wind storm. " It has been many years
since the outlook In Washington presented
such un interesting aspect ns now or the future -
turo promised so many sensational develop
ments in a political way.

CHICAOO , Sopt. 10. Ono of the most disas
trous fires that has visited the city for some
time occurred nnout IsL'O this morning in n
tenement hotiso nt 540 and 551 Scdgwlck

In the upper story of the building were five
families and the scones of confusion that fol
lowed wcro terrible. After the first cloud of
smokohud cleared awav nud the confusion
had lu u mcr.siiru subsided the firemen wcro
able to work moro easily in rescuing these
who wore in the building. Men , women nnd
children all in their night clothes , had been
removed trom the windows nnd stairs above.
All egress had been cut olT from tha rear of
the house. The tire had made rapid ptogross
un the stairway. There was no'flro escapes
and the single flight of stairs in the front
portion of the building nlTordcd littb oppor
tunity for escape. On the first floor lived
William Kurin. Ho was awakened by the
smoke nnd heat when the partitions of his
room were smouldering. Ho nwoko his wife
nnd tour children nnd they managed to got
down the stairs only slightly burned. The
lire did its worst on the second floor. When

Frank M. Leonard , a promitiont milling on.
glueer of Butte , who Is nt the I ! rand Pnclllo

conference was held In Now Vorlc city n few
Unys ago with this end In view. Amoni ! these
present wore S. II. II. Clarlc and T. I , . Kimball -

J. H. Haggin and .M. Donahue of the Ami-
conda. Hnggln ! < president of the Anaconda
company and the heaviest stockholder. Daly
Is general manager and a largo stockholder ,
and Donahuo Is traflic manager.
For some tlma Anaconda people have
thro.iUmcd to build a line of their own between
Anucondn and Buttc , and went so far us 10
have n survey mndo. .1 B. Itiiggin , wiio was
ut the Uleholleu several \\coks nco , nflor
donvlng the story that the inluo hud been
old to an English syndicate , as stated in u
dispatch of suvoral columns In the Chicago
papois , said that the owners of the mlno
wuio very well snllsncil with the inooinu
from it and had no desire to sell , and added V
that unions the difficulty with the Union
Pacillc. which caused the shutting uown of i
the inliio. was settled soon , the company proposed - | J
posed building n line of tholr own , as they I
could not alToril to have the property lying I

Manager Daly Imd the survey made.
Whether or not it was really his intention
to parallel the Montana Union , us
this branch of the Union Paeillo was
called attoriho pooling arrangements with the
Northern Piicillc , these npJMiont prepara
tions to do so oviuontly had the desired effect
and the present conference wai thus brought
about.
The Montana Union line was orlginallv
built by the Union 1'ncitlc as a branch of the
Utah & Northern and extends from Silver
How to Garrison with n br.inch extending
from Stuart to Au.iconda. About ilvo years
ngo rates on ore shipped from Anaconda to
Ilutto wore icduced , but the Union Paciilo
and Noithcrn Paeltlo subsequently entered
into a pooling arrangement by which the re
ceipts from tnls line were to bo divided be
tween the two lines and tun old rates restored.
The b.ish of the agreement was ,
that the Union Pacific was not to
extend its lines to Helena and
the Northern Pacific was not to
build to Butto.Vhothor this is trim or not
President Oakes of thu Northern Pacific was "
credited with being responsible for tlio res
toration of the higher schedule on ore rates.
Kvon then the Northern Pacific was not sat
isfied , and , in direct violation of the ngrce-
incnt under which the pooling arrangement
was entered into , has built nu oxtcnsien from
Throe Forks to Uutto. As the Northern Pa-
ciffc is not romesontod in the present con
ference in Now York it is thought the Union
Pacific has decided to withdraw from the
pool. In any event it is almost certain that
lates will bo reduced ana tlmt tlio road will
ioon be hauling : i.WO to i.OOO tons of ere from
President Hoggin's mines to the smelter at
Anaconda.

' 'Mark what I toll " exclaimed
you , a piom-
iiiout lauro.id man today , "when the Denver
& Kio Grande controversy has been settled
Jay Gould will bo owner of that road. My
observations are bused on reliable in
formation. When returning from their
recent visit to Montana. Gould and his chief
lieutenant , S. II. II Clark , traveled from
Salt Lake to Denver and inspected every foot n
of the road. At Grand Junction they separ
ated and uiarir went around oy way oi < Loau-
villo over the narrow gauga portion , while
Gould stuck to the main lino. Unless Mr.
Gould is Interested In securing control of the
property why should ho make n tour of In
spection over It ? There is nothing in this
talk about the Santa Fo making a close traf
lic alliance with the Klo Grande. GoulJ
wouldn't permit such n thing as
tlmt to bo done. Ho could
not afford to. Neither can tin
afford to let the Union Pacific bo shut out of
the Colorado business by seeing either tlio
Hock Island or Burllugton tie up with tlio
Klo Grande. "
