Der Of special agents Of one kind and
another who are now travelling in
Europe at the public expense is very
large, tho work Of dcspatching such
an army of rowing officials being a
novelty characteristic of The present
Administration. Among these official
tourists is Col w. S. Rowland, who
is called the Special Commissioner to
report upon the subject Of emigration ;
and the Atlantic cable is frequently
brought into requisition to report the
movements of this important person
age. IL is intimated in the Western
papers that these reports have pccu-
liarly aggravating effect on some OF
tho Coloncl's acquaintances, including
divers hotel keepers, in that section OF
the country, where hc is well known.
1t is said that although they have
abundant reasons for wishing to know
Of his whereabouts, the information
that he is proceeding toward Norway
Sweden, and other remote regions,
and the reflection that they are help
ing to pay his expenses, affords them
the reverse of satisfaction.

GRANT BUTLERED.-The New York
Sun makes the following contrast be-
tween the Massachusetts, Senators
and President Grant:
Gen. Ben. Butler found Senator
Sumner and Senator Wilson together
in Boston the other day. "Did you"
asked Butler, "authorize the announce
ment that you were both against my
nomination for GOVERNOR ave did, "
was the prompt and manly answer.
In the summer of 1864 Gen. Grant,
at City Point, issued an order remov.
ing Gen. Butler from the command OF
tho Army of the James. The order
was issued after much elaboration.
A copy was sent to Butler at Bermu-
da Hundred 10 the evening. The next
morning be came over to City Point
with the order in his hand "Did
YOU" he asked Gen. Grant, "direct
that this order should be issued p
Grant seemed to be stunned. ~ did
not direct il to be issued in this form.
The order was withdrawn, and Butler
remained in command of the Army OF
the James until his failure at Fort
Fisher.

The Fires In Northern Wiseonsin-.rh Finest Timber

MILwAuKEE, Oct. 4. 1s1I.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 4, 1911.
! A special dispatch from Green Bay
says the fires which have been raging
in the woods between there and Mich
igan have extended across Fox River,
and cover n strip thirty miles wide in
Shawano and Oconto counties. The
large numbering towns of Marmette
Peshtigo are threatened with destruc
ton. '.1
The fires are now raging over 5000
square miles of territory. About one
hundred families nro burned out OF
house and home. The refugees are in
Green Bay and other towns. Atloasi
one hundred other families are in dan.
gcr of being burnOd out.
Farm buildings, bridges, fences and
absolutely everything have been swept
away. Thousands OF square miles OF
valuable pine forests have been de.
stroyed. Bears and other wild beasts
havo been driven in dismay from the
woods and are flying about in every
direction.
The entire population has been
fighting the fires without SUCCESS
Many Of tho people have been pros
trated, suffocated by the heat and
smoke and had to be carried by theii
comrades to places of safety.
All supplies of food for man and
beast have been destroyed, and star.
vation during the coming winter stares
them in the face.
TOLEDO, Oct. 4, 1871.

The woods are burning also between
Antwern and Cecil, destroying The
timber, hundreds of cords Of firewood
and miles Of fences. At Woodburn
on October 2, three houses were de
stroyed, and the steam mill was only
saved by breaking burrows in the
ground arocnd tho building. The
trains are delayed in consequence ol

PEACE.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the NJ Y. Tribune.
The armistice was peace. All the world
knew there would be no resumption of hos
tilities in France at the conclusion of the
three weeks rest from pillage and slaughter.
The war had exhausted one nation and Grip
pied the other, and from both combaatants and
from all the rest of Europe looking nerYously
and amazedly on, wondering where the con-
migration OF war would next extend, there went
up an earnest prayer for peace. But while
the negotiations could end in nothing else, it
was greatly to be feared that the positiVeness-
say the arrogance of Germany, if you will
and the pride of blindness of France would
present insurmeuntable obstacles to the happy
conclusion of true, honorable peace which
Europe might reasonably hope would prove
lasting and blessed. This grave danger has
been avoided in the negotiationswhicht the.great
statesman OF Germany has been conducting
for days past at Versailles with NM. Thiers
and Favre, the bravest and strongest of
Frances pilots come to the helm at last
Concessions have been wisely and gracefully
made by Germany, and will be undoubtedly
accepted by France, and the negotiations
have virtually ended in peace whose condi-
tions Germany can conoede with safety and
France accept without further humiliation.
There is hardly doubt that the Assembly,
judging from its past actions and its political
complexion, will confirm the preliminary
agreement signed at Versailles, and that the
formal proclamation OF peace will be made by
the Emperor with praise and thanksgiving
The cession Of Alsace and a part of Lor-
raine has been insisted upon by the Germans
as q matter of course. The same political and
military reasons which suggested this de-
mand, Immediately after the successes before
Metz, exist to-day in even stronger force than
then. The campaign has shown anew, and so
plainly that unmilitary minds in Germany
now comprehend, how absolutely essential
the passes of the Vosges which the Moselle
and its fortresses cover are to the protection
of the Palatinate and South Germany. Thion-
vile, Metz, Luneville, and Belfort form g
line of defense which, though weak ap-
preached from the Vosges, is formidable tc
an enemy coming from the campaign
country. These considerations were not lost
on Won Moltke Bismarck himself has TOLD
us how, early and strongly, he was
impressed with this strategic view which
silenced all doubts of the propriety and policy
of making the war in any sense one of con
quest. Lost long ago to Germany through
the treachery of disaffected German prince:
and the aggressions of France, there was the
strong argument of precedent to silence al
scruples in the German mind as to recaimins
them after they had been conquered. France
in consenting to part with them, Injuries he

DOMINICA-sPEEoH OF MIR. KELLEY

From the Nep Dreams Republican.
We are in receipt of this very able argu-
ment in favor of commercial expansion to
the South, upon which few comments will
not be improper. 1t comes from an auspi-
cious quarter Mr.. Kelley has been long
known as one of the most efficient advocates
of American industry. He has devoted him
self especially to the advocacy of the iron and
coal interests Of the great State of which he
is a representative, and We may suppose
that his advocacy of a more liberal CONNER
cial policy is based upon his conviction that
Pennsylvania wants broader market for
her material and wares of iron, coal and
woollens, than can be found within the
Union as at present constituted. He, how
ever, shows that howsoever great may be his
devotion to the interests of his State, he has
held in higher estimation his regard to the
principles professed by him, as viii be seen
subsequently. We will take the liberty to
make short preface about the West India
trade in advance eveIfo the period when Mr.
Kelley connects it so conclusiyely with the
earliest policy of our Government. 1t is we'll
known that Columbus did not ''go sailing
for mere love of nautical adventure, or for
the solution of an astronomical problem
alone. He set out to find shorter passage to
the eastern coast of Asia. The world had al
ways known the value of the rich production
of that mysterious region known as Ormus
and the Ind, and the appeals made to the
Governments of Portugal and Spain were
based upon the additions to the royal reve-
nues, and the commercial power of those ma
tions. Queen Isabella may have been moved
by a religious motive in giving ultimate aid
to the expedition; but the arguments used
by Columbus were based on the material ad-
vantages to result to the Government
from the und ertaking. 1t is now known
that Columbus died in the belief that he had
found the eastern coast of Asia, and in igno-
rance of the fact hat he had discovered a new
and intervening continent. But from the
earliest history of commerce the Northmen
have sought to exchange their commodities
against the products of the tropics, and have
even sent buccaneers and privateers to cap
ture these products wherever they might be
found. Thus England and Spain fought for
the control of the West Indies and the coast
of Central America, until England secured
the mastery of the Gulf and Caribbean Sea-
The captains and mariners who aided the
elements to destroy the Armada were Drake
! and Frobisher and Raleigh, whose skill had
