THE MICHIGAN CALAMITY.

Exposed to the Rains and Without Food.
Saturday night in the fire-swept district
of Michigan, was the most horrible since
the flames broke out. To the sufferings
of the homeless people were added the
tOrtures of cold and rain. Until then the
days had been hot and the nights warm,
and those of the homeless thousands who
could find no covering but the sky were
not compelled to bear up against the de-
pressing influences of1cold. Saturday night
the sun went down enveloped in clouds
and a cold wind began blowing. Before
nine O'Clock it began to rain. and for sew
eral hours the water came down in tor
rents which would have checked the de-
structiOn had the rain come five days sOol-
er and saved many lives, but which now
only wet the sufferers to the skin and left
them shivcring in the raw night air.
Tho scarcity of food may be imagined
when it is stated that the representatives
of the Herald who have been sent to the
burned district have had to rely entirely
on what they could take with them. Al
most the only staple crop there is wheat,
and now is the seeding time. Fifty thou
sand bushels of the grain must be scat
tered over tho burned district in ten DAYS
or next year 10 crop can be obtained.
Every steamer which can be obtained has
been pressed into the service to carry sup
plies and cvcry train over tho little mar
row gauge railroad through the country
has been loaded in the same way.
In reviewing the losses the welcome
word Ensured is found to be modified
to an extent which makes it worthless by
tho fact that such insurance is in mutual
companies, the stock in which is owned to
a large extent by tho sufferers themselves.

Fearing the Worst Again.

The presidents persistent fever, which
ran very high yesterday, is now explained
to be due to an abscess upon one of his
lungs, transferred thithcr from the sup
purated parotid gland. 1t is reported that
a severe surgical operation, to get at and
cleanse this suppuration, as the abscess of
the gland was cleansed, will be necessary.
The exhaustion from such an operation is
dreaded, and if it is overcome, the gravest
danger from the natural development of
the abscess is apprehended with a patient
already so worn out by disease. The
members Of the cabinet, in view of this
alarming news, have given up the vacation
trip to the White Mountains which they
had been planning.
