press and the public on the question OF
the royal prerOgatlVe, "A letter, which was
published In tOday's issue OF the stand %
ard. the conservative organ, may be cited.
The writer Of the article calls attention
TO the fact that, during the visit OF the
royal princes at Virginia Water, on Sat
urday last. some members Of the party,
constituting the family Of the Prince OF
| Wales, violated the law relative TO the
close season, by fishing In those waters.
The writer called upon the local author
tiles to prosecute the lawbreakers under
the statute, and not To exempt from pun
ishment those members Of the royal fam
lily who may have been shown 10 have
violated the law.
The fact that this letter was published
by the Standard goes far 10 show th'
feeling aroused by the actions Of th'
Prince Of Wales.

WATERFOWL, n. Y, June lG-For the
past six weeks no rain, to speak OF, has
fallen In the northern part of the state,

other points In the woods Of Lewis, Jeifer-
son and ST. Lawrence counties.
Fires are now raging for miles along the

miles around is thick with smoke.
In the vicinity Of Star lake, near the
Carthage and Adirondack road, st. Law
renee county, forest fire has been raging
| for a week All efforts TO get II under
control are unavailing. That section was
! lust coming into prominence as summer
| resort, but the fire, If IL goes mLch
further, will strip it OF its principal at
| fractions.
Much damage has been done TO stand
| ing timber in the territory referred TO anC
unless rain comes soon many thousands o.
dollars will be added to the losses OF lum
bermen and others. So far as can b'
learned tonight no farm or mill property
has been DESTROYED.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Refuse to Compromise With the Secre-
tary of the Treasury

WAsHINGToN, June 16-Much Interest
is manifested in regard TO the action OF
the secretary Of the treasury in the mat
ter Of charges against the chief OF the
bureau of engraving and printing, for dis
charging seven plate printers, made by
members of the executive committee oil
the knights of Labor. An investigation
by Secretary Foster showed that the men
were dropped from the rolls by his pre-
decessor.
lie is OF the opinion that IL would be
unfair and unwise 10 reinstate the dis
charged men in their old places, and thus
displace the men holding them; however,
he promised, in view of the fact that with
| IN the next six weeks a large number oil
printers will be required, the men, within
| that time, should be given presses. The
proposition was rejected by the Knights
| OF Labor representatives, who ask thal
| the men be given their old places.
