National Eneampment.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug. lat a
meeting of the executive council of the
national Grand Army encampment yes
terday afternoon, a committee of TWEEN
ty citizens outside of the council was
appointed to wait upon President Mil
Ter, of the c., M. s. S. p. railroad, and
make final appeal to him for one cent
amile rate to the encampment. This
move by the executive council was in
accordance with the action of the state
department commanders at Chicago,
Tuesday, in ratifying their agreement
of July End diScouraging attendance
from the respective states at the ma
tional encampment because of the re-
fuSal of the railroads to grant a one
cent rate and agreeing to take no part
in the grand parade. Such action was
entirely unlocked for, and created a
sensation at encampment headquar :
tiers.
The eneampment situation is rapid
ly growing worse. To-day il is evident
that not much short of miracle can
prevent the encampment as an encamp-
ment from being a failure. The last
hope Of getting a rate of cent a mile
to bring large crowds to Milwaukee is
gone. Twenty business men of Mil
waukee held a conference this forenoon
with President Miller, of the st. Paul
road, and John S. George. of the Chi
cagO q Northwestern, and made siren
uOus attempts to induce the repreSta-
tiveS of the two Milwaukee and Chi
cago lines to favor a cent rate. PreSi-
dent Miller stated positively that lie
could do nothing toward securing it.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The Alton has
perhaps found a relief from its trou-
bles. Negotiations are said to be now
pending for the purchase of the I'm
ion Pacific from Kansas City to Den
yer. This would give the Alton a
through connection from Kansas City
to Cheyenne on the Union Pacific.
The Union PACIFIC would by this ar
rangement get the business of the
Alton. The Alton people will say moth
ing in regard to the matter but the
possibility of the purchase of the Kan
sas Pacific was strongly suggested by
the remark made by an official yester-
terday. Should the sale be made to
the Alton, it will be a severe blow at
the interstate railroad association and
will hasten his demise. 1t will be a
bitter pill for the rivals of the Alton,
whose strongest cord has been that
the Alton has no line west of the Mis-
souri, river.

LONDON, July Si.-SalisburY speak
ing at the annual ministerial banquet
this evening says his aim in foreign al
fairs was peace with honor. The
thunder clouds of war still overcast
Europe and the issues involved in war
would be so frightful that the nations
shrank from challenging one another.
Events in Egypt did not menace the
permanent prosperity of that country
and the disaster on the frontier would
be suppressed. England had entered
into engagement not to abandon Egypt
until the latter was capable of main
tanning her own government in the
face of foes and those engagements
England would assuredly fulfill. Re-
ferring to Crete he did not consider
that there was any need to fear that
the present movement would lead to a
European disturbance. He rerudiated
the Temotest desire of seeing England
in possession of Crete. The reports
current to that effect throughout
the continent were without founda-
ton.

rison's election one of the prisoner s
friends sent it to Mrs. Harrison, with
brief account of the convict author

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special dis
patch from Halena, Montana, says:
The forest fires which have been pre-
vailing in Montana for a week show
no signs of abatement. From Helena
west, north and south a great black
cloud of smoke hangs over the country
and for six days the sun has not been
seen. Granville Stuart, than whom
no man in Montana is better able to
judge, estimates the average at half a
million dollars. In MissOula, western
Montana, the streets, buildings and
sidewalks are covered with ashes, The
air Is like blast from furnace and
the atmosphere is filled with crisp en-
bers that have descended like a light
fall of snow. It is estimated
that the loss in Jefferson
county from forest fires SO
for this season will aggregate in the
neighbOrhood of S25, 600, consisting
chiefly of common wood, cut and pre-
an immense amount of standing tim
Der has been destroyed.
The fire now raging in Boulder Cam
on, near Bernice, has been most de-
structive of property. The larger part
of the cord wood consumed in this
blaze was contracted to the Anaconda
smelter. In the neighborhood of the
great mining camp of Phii1ipsburg the
damage has been immense. while the
town of Granite is in imminent dam
ger of being destroyed. The noun
tains about the city are all ablaze, and
while there is no danger feared to the
city, the heat and sitting smoke are
almost UnbearaDI6.
