MILES OF FLAMEs
Alarming Proportions Of the Forest
Fires In Montana.

HELENA, Mont. August i0.-The forest
fires which have been raging all over Mon
tana for three weeks, and destroyed hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth Of tim
Der, have reached most alarming proper
tions.
A gentleman just in from northern Mon
tana reports that on the ranges in Chonteau
county, which heretofore have escaped, and
on which cattle men were de pending to keep
cattle are burning. All the big companies
have over 800 men out trying to suppress the
fire and save their feed, but the small
streams are all dried up, and the flame leaps
over them as quickly as II travelling on an
open prairie In two days the fire travelled
over section Of 60 miles wide and 100 miles
in length.
In Deer Lodge county, the town of George
town is surrounded by fire, and the strong
wind brought the flames within five miles of
Philipsburg. The mill OF the Blmetailic Min
ing Company, near that town. is in great
danger, and the fire is travelling toward it
with great rapidity
Couriers who arrived at Philipsburg from
Georgetown. Saturday night, report that the
utmost CONSERVATION prevailed in the town.
and that large force OF men was organized
to go to the rescue.
In the Yellowstone country the piDeries
fire covers an area of eight miles. and is
spreading rapidly. Ranges in that section
nave also D66n diluOSJ 6uIlT6ly ueSLr0yeQ,
the fire extending almost four miles from
the city of Gendive.
A letter received today from Forsyth says
that Henry Casey, j. Z. Harrison, and two
cowboys recently from Texas, who were
fighting the fire in that vicinity, are missing,
and it is feared that they have persisted.
The entire territory is covered with dense
clouds of smoke. which the sun cannot PEN
citrate until heavy rain comes. There is no
hope that the fires will be arrested until they
have burned themselves out.

AN oARsMAN AT sEvENTY-FoUR.
The Veteran Whom New York Sports
men Like to Honor.

NEW YORK, August 19.-The members of
the Varuna Boat Club gathered in strong
force yesterday at their boat house, foot of
2Sth street, Bay Ridge. 1t was a splendid
day for boating, but besides that it was ex-
pected that Commodore Robert NJ Whiting
of Brooklyn, the IA year old member of the
club, who has achieved from time to time
distinction as a long distance rover, would
make the attempt to cover 100 miles within
"a hours in the new 10 foot skiff Sadie, which
he has had built especially for the purpose
of making the attempt. Mr.. Whiting has
made during his boating career of over sixty
years any number of trips IN his boats to
Sandy Hook, Red Bank, Newark, Flushing
and other points about this city, and even
now the Varuna Club members say that the
youngest and stoutest of them have all thew
can do to keep up with him through one Of
his 40 or 80 mile pulls.
On a previous occasion Mr. Whiting at
tempted to cover 100 miles within a day hnt
the day was very hot, and the excitement Of
the occasion, coupled with the heat. nre-
vented his succeeding. His Intention now is
to select some promising day and make the
attempt quietly and without any of the ex-
citing influences which would be at work If
a specific day was fixed and a bic crowd
were ON hand. He did not appear at the
poathouse yesterday, and some of his
friends reported that he had hurt his le6 a
lew dayslago while jumping from a moving
street. car. They expected, however, that he
would soon be in trim again, and that the
promised attempt would be made probably
within week or ten days.

DOM PEDRo's AssAILANr.
Particulars Of the Attempted Murder
of the Emperor.

NEW YORK. August 19.-The particulars
of the recent attempt on the life Of Dom Pc
dro have just been received here in a letter
dated July 20. The letter says:
The event has caused the greatest excite
ment throughout the empire, inasmuch as ne
act Of the government or private action OF
the monarch could warrant such an action.
1t seems a strange thing that man who has
tacitly abolished capital punishment In his
empire (for Dom Pedro has refused to sign q
death warranty should have been condemned
even by malcontents to violent death.
The feeling is one Of genuine Indignation
and sorrow. Evidently the attempt was made
in moment Of drunken bravado. The
Would-be assassin is the half-uncOnsclous
emissary of third parties as yet unknown,
who have played on the exalted condition OF
a weak intellect.
Dom Pedro, surrounded by his family, was
leaving the theatre, where he had spent the
man deliberately. face to face with the En-
peror, raised the seditious cry:
Long live the republicP'
Immediately the answering cry of "Long
live the Emperor come laundering from
every side OF the house.
TIE confusion that followed can well be
imagined. The Empress and Princess I'm
perfal became alarmed and drew close 10 the
Emperor. At that moment the young man
raised his pistol and fred.
and forbidding his bodyguard to draw
swords, stepped into his carriage after bis
family. Setting his horses at full speed the
imperial coachman drove to the palace
without further annoyances.
The commotion in the neighborhO0d Of the
house where the shot was fred was terrible.
People rushed here and there In wild but
fruiteSs search for the would-be assassin.
Favored by the general rush and confusion
he had escaped, but two hours afterward
was captured.
He is young fellow, almost lad, clerk
in big business establishment, and Portu-
guese by birth. He is evidently laboring
under some great alteration Of mind. In
the first moments at the station house his
words and actions were most violent. He
seemed quite proud Of the deed, and declared
that while he would be ashamed to fire at an
unknown individual, the assassination Of sR
emperor could but bring him honor.
