Besides this, three tWo-inch streams
from private pumps are playing on the
fire. The water has little effect other
than to keep the fire down around the
edges. The only hope of saving the
entire dock is in separating the burn
ing portions by themselves. Over 200
men are at work on this, and it is ex-
pected by morning the fire will be iso-
lated. In any case the direct damage
will amount to many thousands of dol

be the delay in the filling of orders,

that he has been on the young mans

some months ago, he traced him as far
as Denver, but there he lost the trail
and returned to Chetek. Seve weeks

versed with him during the day he said
he was willing to die. He did not ask

that the rebels have met
complete, crushing defeat. He
says: "Forty-fve hundred imperial
troops met a force of 5000 rebels at a
point fifteen miles from ChaOyang. The
latter were very daring and had better
cavalry than the imperial forces, who
were at first compelled to move
back somewhat. The conflict which
ensued was long and stubborn!
Finally there was spirited
charge from the imperial side.
This threw the rebels into confusion,
and they began retreating, keeping up
a running fight, however. No quarter
was given. One thousand one hundred
rebels were slaughtered on the field,
aud those which, on being overtaken,

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-That an extra ses-
sion of the Missouri legislature will
soon be called is the belief of many per-
sons in a position to form correct
opinion. Gov. Francis has been in
some doubt as 10 whether the adj
ditiOnal electOr given the state in
the new apportiOnment enacted by con-
gress can be legally elected in the same
manner as provided for the election of
additional congressman. in the event of
the failure of legislature to redistrict
a state, as was the case at the last
session of the Missouri legislature.
The governor, while absent in the East,
will consult with legal lights, whose
opinions may have weight with him.
He is anxious to save to the state the ex-
pense of an extra session, but will not
do so at the cost of vote in the elector-
ial college. a decision Will probably
be reached by the governor soon after
his return from Washington, probably
not later than Christmas.
