The geological survey at Washingtoi
has done timely service in issuing a re
port by Henry Gannett upon the work
of deforestation in the State of Wash
iugton. The report shows that in nine
teen counties of that State west of the
Cascade range 23,394 square miles wert
formerly covered with merchantable
timber , of which 32 per cent has
been cut. 17 per cent has been
destroyed by lire , ami the remainder is
still covered with standing timber. In
Mr. Gainu-tt's own words : "In less than
a generation nearly one-third of the tim
ber in one of the richest timber regions
of this continent has been destroyed ,
and of that destruction much more than
half has been caused by fire. " In other
words , nearly two years' supply of tim
ber , worth in money about $4o,000,000 ,
has been destroyed by tire. This report
was made before the recent terribly de
structive tires in Washington , Oregon ,
Wyoming and Colorado , which have
added materially to the average de
struction every year. The Department
of Agriculture estimates that every
year at least ? 2.j.000.000 worth of real
property Is destroyed , fully ten million
acres burned over , and $75,000,000
worth of young forest growth destroy
ed. The full extent of this forest de
struction in the States named will not
be known until the bureau of forestry
makes its report , which it will soon do.
Enough is known , however , to estab
lish the fact that in one year more dam
age has been done than can be made
good in a century , if it ever can be made
good. Such figures as these should
make a eleep impression upon the public
mind , and yet it is doubtful whether
the public will give this important mat
ter more than a passing thought. It
means not alone the property value de
stroyed , but the deterioration of the
soil , the drying up of springs and wa
ter courses , the increased exposure of
the farming regions to drought , burn
ing winds , and cyclones. It means a
menace to health , aud yet , so far as the
public is concerned , this destruction
will continue without an effort to check
it at the beginning or to stay its prog
ress until it reaches villages and towns
and begins to destroy personal prop
erty. It is only another illustration of
wastefulness of the American people
and their indifference to the destruction
of property an indifference which also
extends to the destruction and in more
than one case to the extinction of ani
mal life. The bureau of forestry has
done everything it could in the way of
securing State legislation , but the pen
alties are light , the area is too large to
be patrolled efficiently , and , worst of
all , the bureau Is not backed by public
sentiment. Of course , there will come
a day when this wholesale removal of
the forests will be regretted and people
will have to suffer for it , but so long as
the penalty is not immediate the public
wil remain indifferent. If the Depart
ment of Agriculture can find some way
of rousing public sentiment the situa
tion will be more hopeful.
Napoleondcr.
In a translation of two folk lore tales
about Napoleon , one from the French
and the other the Russian , George Ken-
aan says that Napoleonder is the Rus
sian pasant's name for the Emperor. It
is not quite clear why he has adopted
It. Possibly the final syllable der has
been added because , to the ear of the
peasant , Napoleon seems incomplete , as
"Alexan" would sound to us without
the "der. "
The point of view of the two nation
alities differs amazingly. The French
peasant regards Napoleon as a great
leaeler and conquereor , aided , if not di
rectly sent , by God , to show forth the
power and glory of France.
The Russian peasant , more thought-
Cul by nature , as well as less excitable
ind combative , admits that the con
queror was sent to earth by God to 51-
iustrate the divine nature of sympathy
ind pity through the cruelty of war.
Both are convinced of his supernatural
Drigin. The Frenchman believes that
iie was led by a guiding star. The Rus-
siaii argues that he was created by the
levil , and that God , having given him
i soul , to punish the Russian people for
; heir sins , then made him a man by in-
jpiring him with compassion.

DIE IN A FIRETRAP
FOURTEEN GUESTS PERISH IN fi
CHICAGO HOTEL
WORST IN CITY'S HISTORY
VICTIMS PENNED , WITH LITTLE
CHANCE TO ESCAPE
NO CHANCE FOR LIFE
Hostelry Overcrowded , and slight.
Regard given for .Surety Num
ber burned and Othera
Suffocated
Chicago , Dec. 5. Fourteen persons
among tbe scores crowded into Lin
coln hotel at 170 Madison street , met
death shortly before 0 o'clock Friday
morning in a lire which will pass in
to local history as the most horrible
Chicago has evsr experienced.
Death came suddenly to a few , but
with awful slowness to otbers , whc
were penned up in the death . .trap
and suffocated or burned to death.
Some died in their rooms , some chan
ged all in jumping ana were lost while
others were lost in hallways where
t iey had expiraed with thiiifingers
dug into the cracks to tLe lloor.
All of the bodies were recovered , as
the hotel was not destroyed.
The victims were taken to Ral
ston's morgue , and all day the place
was filled witb anxMous people in
terested in the death or seeking to as
sure themselves of the safety of relat
ives or friends.
The building was a fire trap of the
worst kind , according to experts.
Tuere were but two exits , a nairow
stairway leading down the four
floors of the building and an in
complete fire escape in the rear.
The fire started on the second
floor , presumably from a lighted
cigar dropped on the carpet. Guests
occupying upper rooms in the front
part or the hostelry , aroused by the
screams of a woman , were able to
escape down the sta r.va\vind alout
thirty people reached saiety by
means of the fire ecsape. To add to
the horror , however , th's gave way
while others were atemptin to ecsape
and three men were dashed to death
on the pavement of the alley below.
For the people in the rear there
was no escape save by jumping.
The stairway was in flames and the
fire escape gone. Boner-stricken
faces appeared at the windows and
cried for help. Firemen cried
back to them to wait until nets or
mattresses could be brouht , and those
who did in most cases escaped with
slight injuries. But some , crazed
with fear , jumped to the pavement
and were either kiled or bady hurt.
It was an awful scene which met
their gaze. Tne dead or unconscious
lying stretched on the floors , and in
some cases on their beds. Some had
attempted to slip on a gairnent be
fore makiui ! fo ; the street , but
they had been overcome , although
most of them were in their night
clothing.
Every store and hotel jn the vicin-
tiy was filled with men and women
who had escaped with only their
nightgowns. An investigation will
be made. A Qre wall around the
freight elevator and other precaut
ionary alterations hdl been ordered
some time ago , but the matter had
been neglected. Little damage was
rlone to the hotel , but the smoke
was so dense that the persons who
met their death were overcome and
died before assistance could reach
them. Many jumped from the
fourth stoiy windows or tried to save
themselves by climbing down the fire
escape in the front of the building ,
only to lose their grasp on tbe cold
iron bars and to fall to the street.
Ambulances and patrol wagons
from all parts of the city were called
to the place and the cead and in
jured were quickly attended to. All
but fourteen of the guests at the
hotel were out-of-town persons.
Most of them came to Chicago'to
attend the international live stock
show.
Up to ten o'clock last niirht persons
were taken iu at the hotel and in
every roim or place where a cot
could be erected , it is said , guests
were accommodated. At that time a
large number of stockmen , with their
families , were turned away. The
hotel was filled. Shortly after the
fire broke out the firemen rushed up
tlie stairway into the place and oe-
pau the work of rescue. Men , wo
men and children were carried down
ladders , fire escapes and smoke filled
halls.

GERMANY STRIKES
BERLIN SAYS THAT VENEZUELA
SHOULD COME TO TERMS.
GERMAN CLAIM NOT LARGE
DETAILS OF CUSTOM HOUSE SET
TLEMENT UNAGREED.
NOTHING KNOWN OF LOANS
Germain Claimant * are Growing "Weary
ot the JUelay Venezuela's Precarious Po
sition.
Berlin , Dec. 3. The published
statement that Germany's claims
against Venezuela amount to 5 million
dollars is incorrect. While the Ger
man government is not yet ready to
publish the details of its demands
persons who have seen the papers say
the total is about. 2 million dollars.
President Castro represents to Ger
many that Venezuela has little cred
it abroad , that the country is just
emerging from a civil war during
which planting and industry were
partially ruined and that therefore
no matter how much Venezuela may
desire to satisfy immediately the
claims against her it is obviously im
possible.
An agreement on the subject must
provide fur deferred payments. The
se-zure of the custom houses thereby
depriving tbe government of an im
portant me.ms to administer the
country would anrl to the internal
distress and disorder.
While President Castro's proposals
are not disclosed there is reason to
believe that they include the emission
of bonds at a moderately higher rate
of interest , with some sort of a guar
antee that if the interest of the in
stallments of tbe principal are de
faulted certain Venezuelan customs
houses may be taken over by Ger
many.
Nothing is known here of the plans
of Isaac N. Seligrnan , of New York
for floating a Venezuelan loan. He
has not approached the governmsnt
in this matter.
There is no disposition here to pro
ceed with harsh measures toward
Venezuela if milder ones will suffice
to exact satisfaction , but tbe Ger
man government 's fully committed
to tbe intention to obtain ample sat
isfaction. The claimants' are con
stantly "urging the government to
press the collection of tte amounts
due them , not only because of the
sums involved , but , it is represented ,
in view of the fact that the long de
lay has rendered tbe position of Ger
many in Venezuela more and more
vexatious. Therefore it is claimed
that tbe government must strike and
strike hard.
