A COSTLY LESSON.

The forest fires in Oregon and Mon
tana have swept away vast amount OF
timber. In Montana alone the area OF
timber lands devastated will cover one
hundred and twenty square miles. The
money value of this destruction is COM
puted to be millions OF dollars, and the
consequences to follow can not be COM
puted in dollars. Forest fires have rarely
been go destructive as those OF the pres
ent year. In 1880 the destruction Of
forests in the Rocky Mountain region
extended over more than four hundred
thousand acres, the value OF the timber
burned being estimated at nearly seven
million dollars. The fires OF three
years ago were very destructive, par
ticularly in Montana. Probably no
legislation could be entirely effective
in preventing these forest conflagra-
tions, which sometimes originate
from lightning. The laws pre-
scribing penalties for the willful
or careless setting Of fires, and
requiring the local authorities to
post notices warning persons against
violation of the law, have accomplished
some good, but these measures are far
from being adequate. The last report
of the chief OF the forestry division of
the agricultural department says that
under existing laws and regulations it
would appear that forest fires have al
most undisputed sway. No forests are
saved from fire. and few, II any, from
the axe. In every respect, says this re-
port, the management of this part of
our national inheritance reflects dis
credit on our much-praised business ca
pacity.
This government is more penurious
in the matter of making provision for
the protection of its forests than any
other in the world having forests to
protect Since 1888 the annual appro-
priation for this purpose has been sew

A Decendent Of Alexander Hamilton

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., August 81 Special
Telegram to The BEE. The story of the
stabbine here yesterday, and of the people
connected with it, is sensational one. Rob
ert Ray Hamilton was for eight years o
member of the New York legislature from
the Murry Hill district of New York city,
is son Of General Schuyler Hamilton,
one of the leaders in New York's 'four
hundred" and a great-grandson of Alexan-
der Hamilton. He is prominent member
of the New York bar and has large in
come, which he spends lavishly upon him
self and friends.
The story of his courtship and marriage is
as remarkable as the story of the tragedy is
thrilling. Hamilton was for many years a
lion in New York society circles, but like
many OF his associates, soon became fire.

in the metropolis. In one of these he
met and became infatuated with
woman whom he afterwards
married. Mrs. Hamilton was for years the

dered fortunes on her before she captured
Hamilton, whom she married. it Is thought,
for his fortune. About Two years ago they
were Clandestinely married in New York.
When this became known, he was Ostraclsed
by the flour hundred" as well as by his own
parents.
Although an outcast, he had an immense
fortune behind him, and after standing it as
long as possible in New York, six months
ago he took his wife and child and Mary
Donpelly, the nurse, TO southern California,
with the intention of locating in the west.
He returned disgusted and temporarily took
up his residence in Atlantic City two weeks
ago. Joshua Mann, who is an old lover of
Mrs. Hamilton, followed the couple to
California and back. The husband discovered
him at Atlantic City the other day and
learned that his wife was having clandestlne
meetings with him. Yesterday Hamilton up
braided his wife, when she picked up dag
ger and made a lunge at her husband He
grappled with her and pushed her over a
chair.
The nurse, Mary Donnelly, hearing the
noise and having had to separate the couple
several times before to prevent bloodshed,
rushed into the room. The wife no sooner
saw her than she darted at her with the dag
ger raised, and with the words you she

weapon into the woman's abdomen. The
poor woman sank to the floor. The excite
ment in Atlantic City over the affair is i'll

Mrs. Hamilton was gwen hearing to-day
on the charge of having stabbed her nurse,
Mary Donnelly. After the examination of
several witnesses, the Judge remanded the

|, amount expended by various European
countries for these purposes is estimated
at thirty million dollars.
Such facts, however, although re-
peatedly presented to the attention OF
congress, seem to have made no serious
impression upon that body, nor has 1t
ever shown any adequate conception
OF the Importance OF the subject
from any point OF view. 1t has
provided for the employment Of
so small number Of special
agents to protect the vast forest area
that however active and vigilant they
may be they cannot possibly guard 1T
against depredations, and the result is
shown in the enormous loss the govern
ment has sustained in the last six years,
to say nothing Of the damage in other
respects. It is certainly time that a
more liberal policy were adopted for the
better protection OF this great interest.
Tn paper on this subject by Professor
James, of the university Of Pennsyl-
vania, embraced in the report OF
the chief of forestry division, he says:
1--WE are wasting our forests by the
axe, by fire, by pasturage, by neglect.
They are rapidly falling below the
amount required by industrial needs,
by our water supply, by our rivers, by
our climate, by our navigation and agri-
culture. 1t is high time to call a halt.
The devastation OF the axe will proba-
bly, go on in the forests owned by pri
yate Darties Other forms Of dpyaStn-
ton can and should be stopped by Wig
orous measures on the part Of the gov
ernment." The senate committee in
vestigating the subject OF irrigation has
had an object lesson in forest devasta-
tion from which it may be presumed to
have derived valuable information that
may be used to induce congress to adopt
more liberal policy and institute more
effective measures for forest protection.

WHEELING. w. Va, August 27.-I Special
Telegram to THE BEE. For the past fifteen
years a well-organized gang of robbers have
been operating in the southwestern portion
of Green county, Pennsylvania, and the east
ern portion of Marshall and Wetzel counties,
West Virginia, and during all that time mas
detied successful prosecution. Horses, sheep
and SWINE have been stolen, granaries and
corn cribs robbed, mills broken open and
looted, stores raided and every species OF
farm machinery and portable property car
ried off. Many localities were raided again
and again and for the past five years the an
uoyance has been almost intolerable and the
loss great. The headquarters of the gang
was in Pennsylvania and everything stolen
was hurried over the line. Arrests were
often made in Green county but there were
always enough of the rascals to swear sus-
pected comrades out of trouble. Saturday
last David Gordy and Hezekiah Kembie were
arrested and taken to the Littletown jail.
Gordy made a confession extending over q
period of fourteen years and including near
ly seventy-fve robberies. Four other ar
rests were made at once and many others
will follow, thoroughly breaking up the gang.

SAN FRANCIsCo's chamber of COM
merce is urging the necessity Of direct
cable connection with Australia, claim
ing that such line would be OF great
help to the Pacific coast. However, as
the merchants Of that city deem it
necessary first to obtain n subsidy OF
as bonus from the government, it is
hardly probable that the contemplated
communication will be established.
The subsidy business has been
worked once too often in building

day to ask the people Of this country to
sanction any similar scheme for the

THE Kansas City papers feel sore
over the attitude OF Governor Thayer
in prohibiting the shipping of Texas
cattle from Kansas City or any other
point into the Omaha stock yards until
all danger of Texas fever is passed,
They impute the motive OF Governor
Thayer to desire to build up Omaha as
a cattle center by seeking to cripple the
trade of Kansas City by false represen-
tations. Nothing can be farther from the
truth. Texas cattle are as necessary for
the business of Omaha as they are for
the business OF Kansas City, and the
embargo, instead of helping the Omaha
market, is in measure detrimental to
it, as it seriously venlences both
stock buyers and packers. OF two evils,
however, it is better to choose the
lesser, and while there may be no sick
ness at the Kansas City yards at pres
ent, they are liable to be injected at any
moment by the handling of Texas cat
tie. Governor Thayer's proclamation rs
no more nor less than health measure
to protect the Omaha stock yards as we'll
as the state of Nebraska. 1t Is proper
that an ounce OF preventative be used
before great injury be done to local
herds by injecting them with a fatal
disease.

Yesterday was the first of the four days

The dry was entirely unfavorable, a fif-
teen mile an hour wind, of the fish tail va

marksmen the entire programme for the day
was gone through with in the morning.
The shooting was at 200, 300, 500 and 600
yards. The scores made at 200 and 300 yards
were exceptionally good, but at 500 and 6UO
yards they were poor, but this was due en-
tirely to the high wind, as the men now COM
peting at Bellevue are the best shots in the
army.
The scores made yesterday were as fol-
lows:
