AKKANflAs CITY. Sept. 17. Thousands of
people who yesterday made such an effort to
get Into the Cherokee Strip wore muklncr
equally strenuous efforts to get out today.
Even-as soon nfter .ho rush us yesterday
evening hundreds of people came out from
the Strip nnd took up quarters here. Some
fulled in the great race to got claims , nnd
others , utter having located a claim , re
linquished It raUior than cnduro the dis
comforts and hardships of a frontier life In
n desolate country , such as the Strip now Is.
Today the return move became nn
exodus , nnd tonight Iho city is ns
badly crowded as it was the
night before tl o race. Many are departing
by the trains , but others , being too iwor to
b iv oven railway tickets , ore stranded hero.
"What to do with the hitter class will bo a
question to bo decided by the city authori
ties All these returning loll iho same story
of tlio lack of water und scarcity of food , but
of an o craupu'y of heat , hot wind and dust.
There nro m my stories of crime : ind cas
ualties , hut all being strangers to ono nn-
olhor , niniCG nro missing. The crimes arc
mostly IsolutoJ murders , which look place
yesterday In the light for claims. The fatal
accidents are reported ns the results of yes
terday's rush men trampled to death by
tiorsos or kllloa by falling from Iho over-
crowdo.l excursion trains.

AHKASSAM CITV , Kan , , Sept , 17. The mys
tery which through so many long years of
anxious waiting which shrouded the real
character of the Cherokee Strip , the gauzy
veil through which expectant tiomcscokers
thought they saw a Canaan , has been swept
nwny. The Cherokee Strip Is now a reality ,
nnd a very grim reality nt that. There is
no Canaan ubout it , either. It was n prom
ised land , bjit it has not kept its promise. It
may do so a year from now , but at present
the Strip is about tlio most uninviting
quarter on the face of the ourtlh
\Vi\ler Is obtainable Ir. only n few
places. Food Is so scarce tlmt o
loaf of broad costs 50 cents and n pound of ,
smoked ham is worth a dollar. The weather
is suffocating and another hot wind Is blow
ing from the south that would parch all
vegetation If Ihoro was any to lurch. The
drouth of last month bus loft the country
.
burned dry. A smothering dust , composed
of n combination nf line sand nnd ashes from
the prairie fires , fills the air and adds to the
thirst and general discomfort of the un i-
happy boomers.
The careless building of eunip fires has sot
the parched prairie bliulng in many places
and boomers nro out lighting off the flames.
In oilier places unscrupulous men have
started the fires In thu hope of driving some
timorous claimant off a valuable tract.
Trying to ttlr.ilshti'ii Out.
Today was generally given over to nn
effort to bring order out of chaos. The farm
ers families have put up tents , arranged
their private houses as comfortably as pos-
nlblo , nnd liavu begun the search for water ,
cither In crooks , springs , or In arlvlng wells ,
while the houd of tlio family has hustled oil
( o the nearest land ofllco to file his prelim
inary papers.
Tlio county seats and town sites have be
come busy communities. Those reached > oy
the railways have boon fairly well supplied
with provisions. In these off the lines of
travel the commonest commodities command
fancy prices , so greatly dooi the demand
exceed the supply. At Willow SprliiRs
valor sells al 10 cents n glass , bread utf,0
conls a loaf mid other supplies at proportional
tional amounts. Restaurants , shops of ill
kinds , drinking places and gambling houses
have bcon established In touts and uro doing
n thriving business.
At Perry und Wlmrton today church sorv-
Jcos wore hold , bin they were slinily at
tended , The boomers were too weary after
yesterday's race , too busy Iu administering
to bodily ncccsalilos , or too Indifferent to go
to Church.
At the I.iuul
The centers of Into.rcsl huvo now boon

At Kingfisher today 000 tlrod and weary
boomers lined up in front of thn , office , and
will hoop their places until the ofllco opans

inon and women are in line. At
Perry , tlio now town situ on the
Banta Fo line , u line of men a mile long
stretches away , and at Wlmrton 1200 ! people [
nro in lino. At Poud Crock on the Hock
Island the crowd of people deslrous"of doing
business with ttio land oftlro is enormous.
tflio crowds at the land offices must have
Buffered intensely today. The sun wa's hid
den bohlnd thin clouds , but ono of the fam
ous hot winds was blowing a gale from the '
touth , carrying the itmt in clouds.
The men ami women who dared the dangers
gers of yesterday's rush and these who en
dured the hardships for tlio ton days preceding -
coding hold their places resolutely In line
oiut will do so until they make sure ot their
claims by tiling their papers.

This was the qucrv of n bright faced little

Twenty-fourth and Milroy streets yesterday

ran off toward the house , whore her mother
and seven more children wore congregated.
The old lady cannot speal : any English. She
had been told that her husband was killed
down on the Cherokee Strip during the race
yesterday.
The report is that Frank Hatay and Frank
Kreiiok were both killed. Mrs. ICrenek wus

tered. Shn was also in tears and eagerly
soughtany information from the absent hus
band. Mrs. ICronolc has four children. She
has not heard u word from her husband

a- litter yesterday from her husband

which was writtenon , the 15th , which would
bo Thursday. Ho was then feeling well and
in good spirits , impatiently waiting for
Saturday noon to roll around , when ho and
his friend would make a race for a home and
a fortune. Mrs. Frank Dolozel was present
and acted as interpreter for the grief
stricken wives. They said that their
husbands had started for the Indian Terri
tory together to take up a homestead. Mrs.
ICronolc had not received any word from her
husband and Mrs. Hatay had nothiiii ; but the
letter. A neighbor had told thorn that ho
hud heard that , both the men had been
killed ono stabbed and the other shot to
death. That was all they know and they
were Impatiently waiting to receive more
definite news. Neither of the families arc
destitute , as both own their homes und
besides have many friends who would not

minutes later n party of 200 horsamoti , under
the lead of Jim Masterson , mounted on Bill

They chose the lots Immediately sur-
the land office , where
the buslnoss portion of iho town

worn sooners had been hiding in the Flint
hills is absolutely certain , for no horse has
yet been found who could make nine miles in

WASHI.NCITON , Sept. 17. )
Kcprcspiitutlvo Jojinson of Indlina , who Is
n momborot the committee on bunking and
currency , und who has Introduced in tins
house a bill giving national binks circula
tion to the full par vuluo of bonds deposited ,
bollovcs that through this circulation lies
ono of the speediest and quickest ways of
affording relief to the money stringency , und
since he has voted for the unconditional repeal
of the silver purchasing law , be suys ho would
bo glad to do all in his power to provide n
steady increase of the circulating medium
in some other direction.
"I do not know thai the committee on
banking and currency will take early action
upon my bill , " said Mr. Johnson to THE BEU
correspondent today , "or that It will act
upon It any lime , but 1 feel satisfied that us
soon ns the senate disposes of the silver
repo-il bill the house committee on banking
and currency will take hold of the financial
measures before it and will soon thereafter
produce something. I think It Is a good idea
for those interested In financial matters to
make every plausible suggestion to the com
mittee , as It is seeking information und sug
gestions intended to' equip It for proper
action when It is necessary to begin work.
Wilt nn tliu Somite.
"Naturally iho committee will defer con
sideration of the Various financial measures
before It until It is known Just what the
outcome of the silver repeal contest will bo.
Itm Is possible thai some amendments may bo
made lo that bill which will dispose of n
part ! ! of the plans already suggested to the
banking ! and currency committee. 1 bellovo
that there will bo some Important bunk
ing nnd currency measures reported from
the committee within the nnxt few weeks
nnd thai wo shall have financial legislation
intended to relieve the country. "
intl It is the belief of most rnon in congress
that the bill to give national bunks par
vuluo of circulation will in some form become -
come n law within the next few months , and
it is more than likely that in the sumo con- ,
nectlon Ihoro will bo some amendments
maao to the national banking laws , like the
JJjb providing against excessive loans to
bank ofllcials and permitting banks to hun-
dlo their surplus and undivided profits upon
n different basis.
Muy Mnko n Compromise.
The general impression in Washington is
that there will soon bo effected some sort of
compromise on the silver repeal bill in the
senate.
It is believed the ways and means com-
mittco will report Iho tariff bill in the hotiso
by the 20th of October. The hearings given
manufacturers by the committee close on
next Wednesday. Sugar will bo hoard on
Tuesday.
Senator Allison's speech yesterday Is said
to have had Iho niosi influence of any speech
delivered In favor of silver repeal.
The president says ho will not go gunning
till the silver bill is out of the way.
The republicans have abandoned the cam
paign in Virginia to tlio populists. There
uro but two Hckets in the field in that state.

Mr. TIiiiMtan OUcimcg I Thorn with a
Itrpurtor.
Sept. 17. L. A. Thur.ston ,
the Hawaiian envoy , has returned to this
city to watch the progress of affairs relat
ing to the provisional governmenl of Ha
waii , which ho represents. He was soon an > ay
a reporter of the Associ.ilcd press this even
ing nnd said the n0
lust information ho hud re '
ceived from the 0is
provisional government was
of the date of August L'5. Then there was isa
surplus of $150UOC in the treasury und the
savings bank had u surplus of 15,000. Hu
regarded us a most significant sign of the
government's stability the fact that an issue
of $100,000 of U per cent bonds , for internal
Improvement was put on the market and
sold nt par. This , ho thought , showed re
was no lack of conlldenco in ttio al
government.
Thenttltudoof Mr. Sprccklcs is plainly ale
matter of business. Ho wants cho.ip coolie
labor und knows this system would bo done
tiway with If the country becomes an Amer-
can stale. Thrco of the largest sugar
planters of thu Island all favor the monarchy.
The question wus simply whether there
shall be a government on the Anglo-Saxon
basis of a whlto man's government , while
the rest of the population Is being brought
up to the standnrdof cltizenshii ) , or whcthci'
It should bo nn oriental colony.
Kegurdlng reports thatlapun would take
steps to estaultsli a protectorate over heat
Islands , Mr. Thurstpn said : "Japan made hoa
demand of the provisional government that
Japanese people should have the right lo
vote , Tlio government declined to grant
this , on Hie ground that It was negotiating
with the United States with a view to
annexation , nnd that while sueh negotiations
were pending it would not be proper to take
dtopb affecting the elective franchise. Jupan
replied that she hud no ofllclul knowledge of
such negotiations , and knew of no power
but the provisional government of Hawaii.
Then she attempted to coerce the provisional
government by the threats thai she would
nol permit her subjects lo come to the island
as laborers. "
When asked if the provisional government
would agree to the establishment of a pro
tectorate by the United States , Mr. Thurs-
ton replied : "The term protectorate is rsus
narrow us u hair or us broad as the heavens.
1 have no idea what terms might bo sug !
gested. There ure protoctoraloa und pro
tectorates. " roho
"What vrould bo the result should the :
United States decide lo lei Hawaii ulonoi [ ]
What system of government would bo
adopted ! "
"No ono has looked forward to such a con
tingency. All our plaiib hayo been made
with a view to un agreement with this gov
ernment. The whole island is haiifin' ' upon
that hope , "
Mr. Tliurstou. in conclusion , said most em
phatically that ho considered thu provisional
Kcveruuiciit strouu enough to hold iho rcius
until a final decision Wai reached. "It Is
the strongest p.ivornbient Hawaii h.is had
for years , if slio hid ever had , a stronger , "

DUIIUQUE , Sept. 17. tSpoeial Telegram to
THE BBE.J At the banquet ( following Arch
bishop Henncssy's vcstlturefwith the pallium
today Archbishop Ireland responded to the
toast : "Tho Hterarchyj of the United
States. " He congratulated the now metro
politan , adverting to his own experience as
archbishop ; said ho was glad the storms had
been succeeded by an urea of mildness ,
charity and mercy. This , was taken us a
reference to the advent of Satolli. and the
cheering xvus terrific. He alluded covertly
to the opposition ho hail encountered from
the hSlrarehy and bade the .young priests
remember that the prejudice of Americans
against the church of which they had com
plained was n prejudice' the church itself
had aroused. Ho wus prepared to follow
the words the pope's messenger had just
uttered in Chicago : "Go forward ; holding
in ono hand the "book of Christian truth and
in the other the constitution .of the United
States. " Lot thojuhurch Dutpursue this policy
and the American people . .would take it to
their arms. In no other country could the
apollstlc delegate have * received so cordial
u welcome as had been given him throughout
the United States. ' The "Influence of his
coming hud already been felt. When
Bishop Keano opened a room of inquiry for
Americans at the Catholic university the
conservatives sneered and wondered who
would call. Yet Bishop Keano could not
attend this banquet bfeauso _ bo was receiv
ing'JOO inquiries daily. The American people
ple were comuig to' the Catholic church
because the church had entered upon the
policy Satolli hud proclaimed nt Chicago.
He drew a picture of the church a quarter
of a century hence , and saw it with an ag
gressive wellequlpped helrarohy. established
in the confidence of the American people.
When ho closed Arch'bishop Ireland was
implored to remain hero tomorrow night ami
speak at the opera house. Ho consented.
Archbishop Corrigan followed Ireland
with a conservative address on church and
country. Archbishop Satatti responding in
Latin to his address , dccldrcd the church
proposed not coercion , but liberality. .Not
the suoverslon of popular government , but
allegicnco to its constitution , within which
lilies it would seek the propagation of the
faith in America. He referred to Pope
Leo's warm friendship for this government
and extended greetings on his behalf.
The pallium was confemvl upon Arch
bishop licnnessy at St. ltaphael's cathedral
here today in the presence of more
limn 2,000 people. Twice as many more ,
who could not gain admission , gathered
outside the church. The scene in the
church was grand boyomi description. The
decorations were artistic and beautiful.
At the appointed hoar the procession
moved from the arch-episcopal residence ,
nnd as it moved toward the ulur the choir
rendered appropriate iniis.ii ; .
Mgr , Satolli and Archbishop Hcnnessy
were enthroned immediately on their ar
rival nc the altar und all was in readi
ness for the poniitiei.il hitch mass.
It was u magnificent display of
pomp characteristic of the church , und the
great congregation witnessed n scene of
splendor unsurpassed. .At the conclusion of
the mass the pallium was conferred by Car

WASIIISOTOX , Sept. 17. Kepeal will attain
occupy the attention of the senate this week
to the exclusion of almost every subject.
There may bo a division during the morning
hourc.ich duy on icsolutions of inquiry of
any subject that can bo legitimately tltcn |
up , but the principal part of each day , and
possibly of cacti night , will bo 'de
voted to the con.oldcr.ition of Mr.
Wilson's bill to destroy the vital
clause1of the Sherman act. There will ,
however , be u breiik In tlio monotony
tomorrow , caused by the recess which will
UQ taken in observance of the centennial
celebration of the laying ul the corner stone
of the eapltol , and , possibly , another change
of progr.un on Tuesday , when Senator Voor-
hccs u 111 attempt to extern ) thu day session
Into the evening. The silver advocates will
bo expected to do most of the talking. Sen
ator Mills Is the only friend of repeal who
has given notice of an intention to mnito u
speech , while the records of the senate show
that Messrs. llnnsbroiigh. George and
White of California all talk on different days
during the week. -
Onlct.
II has been , so far as possible , Iho policy
ofni the iidininlslrutloit forces and these who
nro especially uhxlous to have the Sherman
law wiped nut , to avoid milking speeches ,
consequently , they have inkon comparatively
cca small part la the debute. They know that
a speech of given length by ono of their men
consumes , us much limo as n speech of the
same length by a member of the opposition ,
und i they have a keen suspicion that the op
ponents of the bill care very lltllo how iho
time is occupied so long as It is occupied.
Furthermore , the loaders of the repeal forces
know that every speech that Is made by ono
ola the advocates of the bill simply furnishes
a text for those who are opposing it. This
condition ( of affairs accounts for the silence
of ! sucn repeal senators us Vilas , Palmer ,
Gray. McPhcrson and Hill , all of whom are
able debaters und generally willing to do
their share of the talking.
There Is no speech announced for tomor
row. < If the adjournment for the centennial
celebration should bo postponed for any
Clh
length of time it Is possible that Senator
Teller will make reply to some of the state
ments of Messrs. Dolph , Lindsay und Alli
son. Tuesday Senator Mills is booked for a
speech ' , white Senator George will have the
floor , on Wednesday nnd Senator White of
California on Thursday. Further than ibis
no speeches huvo been unnounccd.

Scnalor Jones of Nevada is preparing an
elaborate address and may bo expected to
take the floor nl no very distant day. Sena
tors Vest. Harris , Bate , Berry , BlacKburn ,
Cull nnd Perkins , und possibly others , are
also expected to take up the question. It is
expected most of them will make long
speeches , so that it appears , unless the ef
forts to prolong Iho sessions inlo Iho night
should prove to bo successful , there is still in
prospect u considerable time for legitimate
debalo. , _
There is much interosf * m ' 'Senator Veer
hees' announced determination to prolong
the dailv .sessions. If ho should succeed in
forcing the senate to sit at night there nro
those who think the change would bo only
temporary , They base this opinion upon
the knowledge thai the senate is composed
in a large part of men past middle age and
not accustomed to severe physical strain ,
and upon the fact that iho enemies of iho
bill will insist that there shall be at ull
times a quorum in the senate. They will not
allow iho majority to call a night session
to force them to talk nnd then leave
them without un audloncc. Indeed , it is a
| fact that but for his sense of duty Senator
Voorhees would tint court the physical effort
he is bringing upon himself in asking for
night sessions. Tno labor of the session has
o far been very severe upon him , und lie
ms been compelled to be constantly in his
eat nnd on the qui vivo every minute to
irevcnt the consummation of some unfore-
een piece of leglsl itlvo strategy by the
jther side , or to take advantage of any open-
ng to press thu bill along. While ho does
lot complain , It Is known that the strain is
ilreudy beginning to toll on him. Friday
light when ho left the cupltol ho was well
dgh exhausted , though In better condition
Suturduy.
Tallor'4 Ilml : ( .nek.
Senator Voorhees' task Is only equaled
y that of Senator Teller , who leads
the opposition. Ho Is compelled to remain
nt his post until the end of the session , und
n addition is expected to take advantage of <
the opportunity offered , und cither to have
ils spouKers prepared togo on" or take the
leer himself. Both those men are past 00
, 'cars of ago und the ordeal will be very BOy
ng for them. It will also test the cndur-
inco of many of the other senators. If rit
should become upparcni that the night ses
sions will not have the desired effect of pro-
ducinra vote , the prediction h freely made
that these sessions will bo short , if ordered
at all.
TliU Wt'ulr in tliu Iliiuic ,
The indications point to u very lively week
In thu house. Tomorrow will hu devoted to
the ceremonies attending the centennial
celebration of the laying of the corner stbno
of the capitol. On Tuesday the deb-itu on
the Tucker law will bo resumed und will con
tinue for the rest of the week. The demo
cratic managers confidently expect a ma
jority of ihcir own on that day. hls wi 11 1
give them iho whip ami cnublo them to put
down the filibuster opposition of the republi
cans. General Trucoy and the fifteen ere
twenty democrats , who acted with the republicans
publicans last weak will also , it is under
stood , eomo into camp. It Is boiiovcd they [
were following the white house opposition
to the present consideration of this
measure on -couiil of its effect in the
senate , not because they were not us anx
ious to secure tlio legislation nt which the
Tuekor bill alms us any of tholr democratio
colleagues. With a quorum of democrats In
fuvor of proceeding with the measure , how
ever , longer affiliation with the republicans
would bo folly. Besides , Senators Veer
liecs nnd Gorman und other democratic
leaders In the scnalo have expressed thu
opinion that the passage of tliu Tuuker bill !
In the house , no matter Inw long the debate
proceeds , will have no cfTccl whatever on
the acllon of Iho scnato. Indeed , they de
clare the opposition ot General Traccy ni 1
his friends was injuring thu can so of tlio re
peal of the Sherman bill by angering the
sliver men in the sonalo , who declared it
savoroJ too much ot white house dictation ,
Win l.linlt lu-lmto.
As soon as the Tucker bill Is. reported to
the house the commltlcuon rules will bo In
voked lo applv llio machinery necessary Into
bring it Into the arena of dobato. This the
committee on rules will do immediately , and
although Mr. Tucker says no attempt will bo
made to apply the gug until "reasonable
time" for debalo has bjon allowed , the un-
dcrstandlnc today Is not more than ono
week at the most will bo granted for tlio
discussion of the measure. One member of
the rules committee Is in favor of bringing '
ai. order lo provide for n vote at the end of
thrco uays discussion.
Colonel Oates , from the commltteo on Ju
diciary , will report : i bill similar In tenor Jute
the Tuuifcr bill on Tuesday , except that MB
bill Is not us dr.tstlo us the Tucker bill , , In
thai lidoos not riipt.il iho statutes permit
ting officers of iho iirniv and navy in Jyg
ul ttio polls Hlien occablon requires.
Although the 0111 will go on tlio calendar
llrt , hccjrdlng lo the uro-eJunco of I'l.lllng
coir.mlltccs , it 1 probable it will bo substl-
\W \
tutcd by the rules cotmnl'i4 for the
Tiu-Ker bill. T to author of tl : , .nttcr bill
explains that although his b cpe.ils the
statute i-onccrnlm : troops nt tl ills , It still
leaves It In the ixiwcroftli jecutlvc of
each state to call for troops If -ssary.
Otliir U'ork Alupjicd , l.
Chairman Utisk wilt present tils report ns-
sinning clerks to committees. If this report
comes up there will bo the regular biennial
effort to reduce expenditures by lopping off
the clerks assigned to the smaller commit
tees of the homo. A minority of the com
mittee , consisting of Mutchlor of Pennsyl
vania and Payntcrof Kcntiii'kv. ha\o pro-
pnrcil n repirt showing , ns they claim , the
absurdity of assigning clerks to the commit-
tees.
It is also iK > sllilo Mr. Richardson's bill ,
which has already received '
one day's con
sideration , may crowd Its way into the loels-
lutivo hall again this week , but the Indlc.i-
lions nro the entire week will no devoted to
the repeal of the federal election * law. The
republican leaders will use uvery moans In
their power to light the measure , but If the
special order Is adopted they will be bound
hand nnd foot.

cases of yellow fever today and nn epidcmlo
declared. "
Such wns the announcement maua by Colonel -
onol Goodyear at tlio Board of Health mootIng -
Ing . today , sending a thrill of terror through
tlio grlof-strleken residents of Brunswick.ra
With heartbreaking sorrow hundreds bur-
rledly rushed to the trains this afternoon
nnd the town Is nearly depopulated. There
are the poorer in Brunswick for
whom . the government aim people of
the country must think. They cannot live
for they have no money , nnd "help , or wo
will perish , " is the cry that would go up
from their throats , did they know help
would bo given.
Dark cloudslloat ; over the city today , add
ing to tlio gloom. Surgeon Gulteras left
today for Philadelphia , after doing noble
work. Ho was called to the bedside of a
sick wifo. Surgeon Geddings and Fagul are
hero nnd Surgeon Murphy is cnrouto. Work
will bo commenced on the hospital buildings
tomorrow.
During the hurry nnd bustle of leaving to
day many nailed up their stores nnd lied.
Weeping mothers , wives an ! children stood
by the train crying ns if their hearts would
break as they Imprinted kisses on theirdovcd
ones' lips , probably the lust they will over
give. Strong men turned aside with tears
welling from their eyes as they viewed af
fecting scenes , and the prayers that were
offered in that crowd were many ,
and sincere.
The change in tlio weather is unfavorable ,
and the worst may bo expected.

pulled down over frowning brown. Then-
voices had u firm , hard ring in them. PJans
wcro qui-jtly formulated. A band of picked
men were selected. Others were stationed
urouiid the roads and the npproachcs to the
jail. All persons were halted nnd either
turned back or itept prisoners for tlio time
being. It wus 11 o'clock. Not u light was
visible anywhere. The inmates of the houses
were wrapped in slumber or were watching
in tlio darkness. Some of the mob who
went to the jail wanted to take all flvo men
out and hung them. Others thought it but

) , Wls. , Sept. 17 A prayer for
rain went up throughout northern Wiscon
sin todny. The forest ilrcs continue to de
vour everything before them. It has boon
anexcltim ( ) ; day for Ashland. Settlers nro
coming in from all directions , Hying j'or their
lives.
At noon the people were called from
worship by flro alarum. The chillers and
smoke became nlinost blinding nil over the
I'lty. Over 1,000 volunteers wore added to
the flro department to light the flumes ,
which rushed In on the city from the Odauab.
liiiiliin reservation.
At ! ! o'clock there wns n wild cry of
despair from the people living near the Mil
waukee , Lake Shore & Western railway
shops. The water works had given out , and
there wns no water. Iho chemical engines
wcro brought , but It was useless to try to
stop the flames , as a high wind was blowing ,
there in-o but n very few wells In the city.
Then the railroad coal sheds caught flro ,
and the plucky engineers soon had the thirty
dead engines steamed up and running all
rolling stock to the lake front. Household
goods h.ivo been burned and over n hundred
families are already homeless.
Obsrnroil Uio Sun.
The sun was almost obscured by the angry
clouds of smoke and cinders. Twenty men
were overcome In fighting the name's and
taken to the hospital. The timber and veg
etation is like straw. No rain has fallen
since July 10 Three families near Marcngo
have perished. There was no help to go to
them. The firemen , with wet sponges ever
their months and goggles over their eyes ,
cannot remain long in the heat and smoke.
At Parlshvlllo the largo Iron plant Is
burning. A largo number of women and
children who hud rushed to the Inlto front
were only suveu by a desperate effort with
patrol wagons.
The ilro Is the same that has been raging
further south nil the week , and the heaviest
part did not reach hero until today. It was
almoHt a hopeless struggle In the eastern
part of the city.
Settlers arriving have pitiful stories to
tell nnd are being cared for by those who
stilt have houses. One man named Kgstrom
was driven crazy by the loss of his wife und
children. His hair und eye lushes and
clothes were burned from his body whoa
discovered. .
T\ro Hundred Mllon'of Finnic.
As near as can bo estimated the flro now
covers nearly i-'OO square miles , and N swoop

will bo very heavy , and now approximates

A woman and baby , supposed to be the
wife of n settler , were picked up In an In

Hivor road. The child died and the mother
la In a delirious condition. The husbuuu is
supposed to have pcribhcd.
