An Unbroken Line of Fire for eI3 MiIes-
The Country Devastated.
ST. IGNACE, Mich, July 13-From here
to Marquette, 213 miles, there is almost
an unhroken line of fire, which is wiping
out everything from the small brush and
solitary settlers cabin to the big woods
and hamlets. No rain has fallen in three
months and the country is in about the
same condition as in 1873, when the fires
devastated everything. No loss of life
has been reported
Every House Swept Away.
EsCANABA, July l3-The forest fires

Furnace of Blazing Wood.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, July 13.-
Early last week small brush fire broke
out in Detour, on the shore of Lake HUI
ron, aud has since spread unchecked until
the whole western part of the country
from Lake Huron to Lake Superior is
furnace of blazing wood. The village of
Detour has been totally destroyed, as has
also the small hamlet of Prentiss Bay.
Meagerreports from Gatesville, IroQaeis,
Donaldson and Stevensburg indicate that
these towns have been destroyed by the
fire to the last building.

A late telegram from Bay Mills, on the

the dense mass of sitting smoke which
hangs over the city and River St Mary,

Rain fell in the region yesterday and it
is hoped that the fires have been subdued.

Mammoth Cave of Kentucky.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 13-The Examiner
announces the discovery of an enormous
cavern in Josephine county, Oregon,
about twelve miles north of the Cali

the coast. An exploring party recently
entered the cave Many of the passages
within the cave are described as of great
beauty, containing giant semi-transparent
stalactites, milk white pillars, and pools
and stream of pure clear water. A
creek flows ON the main opening to the
cave and it was here that the party en-
tered They spent a week in exploring
the cave anc found innumerable passages
and chambers, and several miles from the
entrance they discovered small lake of
clear water and waterfall of thirty feet
in height.

American National Failure,

KANSAS CRY, Mo.-The failure of the
American National bank was caused by dis
trust. For weeks there have been rumors to
the effect that the bank was unsafe.
The quarterly statement made by the
American National October showed that 1t
had nearly Si,2OD,0J0 on deposit. The dis
trust caused by the failures in the east added
to reports set in circulation adverse to the
bank caused its deposits to fall of Sl,SOO,OO
of December Ii.
The deposits on December 10 were shown
by the statement of that date to have been
about S25CO,OOO. More than half of these
we're drawn out up to last Saturday night,
when there remained Sl,20O.0O0, otfset 10y
cash and sight exchange to the amount of
$4,000.
The liabilities this morning are fixed at
s., SOC, 900. The assets $3.50 900.
The run which was begun on the Kansas
City Safe Deposit and Savings bank con-
tinues to-day.
As early as o'clock there was a long line
of depostors in front of the bank waiting for
the doors to open. When the bank was
opened at 9 O'Clock there were more than 200
people in the line, and there was a rush for
the paying teliers counter. Every one is
paid as fast as their accounts can be settled.
BY noon the crowd had decreased somewhat
and it is thought that the worst is over.
While the paying teller has all he can attend
to the receiving teller is not idle. There is
much confidence in the ability of the bank
and many are not afraid to show their con-
fidence by entrustng their money to its
keeping.

The Next Conference.

CHICAGO, January 24.-The last general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal church
decided by a majority vote that the next
gathering of the body should take place in
Omaha.
Certain necessary conditions, however,
we're attached to this decision, including the
free use of an edifice large enough to con-
tain the members of the gene raj body and to
enable the members of the various commit
tees to hold their meetings, accommodations
for the visiting laymen and divines and the
raising of a fund for contingent expenses.
According to advices it now seems doubt
full, however, whether the city will be able to
comply with these conditions, and accord
ingly, memorial is to be addressed to the
standing committee and the advisory board
of bishops suggesting that if Omaha fails to
meet the necessary conditions, the general.
conference will be called to meet in this city.
The gathering will be held IN May of next
year.

Bank Failure at Kansas City. Mo.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., January 2l.-Mr.
Lacey. comptroller of the currency, received
telegram from Bank Examiner Marshall,
announcing the suspension of the American
National bank of Kansas City, Mo.
He said that he received word from the
examiner that there had been a heavy run on
the bank, and that the situation looked serl-
Gus. He added, however. he did not think
the liabilities exceeded Sl.00t 900, which IS
$4,000 less than its capital stock.
The comptroller said that while he had no
definite information on the subject, he sup
posed the bank was suffering from its effects
to assist its correspondents in Kansas, four
of which had failed during the recent strin-
gency.
BUIIEyH, MOORE & EMERY's CONDITION.
KANSAS Cry, Mo.-A. message from To-
peka to the Associated Press says that re-
port is current in that city that BulIene,
Moore d Emery, the leading dry goods house
of the city, had failed. The report Is wholly
without foundation, and contains no truth
whatever.
Ii is thought the failure of the American
National bank will not affect any of the bust
ness houses of the city. 1t was generally
known among business men that the bank
was in embarrassed circumstances and they
had withdrawn their deposits. The Safe
Deposit and Savings bank is the only bank
in the city that has suffered in the least from
the failure of the American National. All
the banks of the city were apprised of Its
condition and were prepared for an emer-
gency.
ToPEKA.-The failure of the American
National bank at Kansas City does not affect
any OF the Topeka banks. The Central Ma
tional bank is the only one whose cores
pondent the American National was Mr..
Bonebrake knew two weeks ago that the
bank was shaky and took steps to protect his
bank, with the result that instead of having
a balance in the Kansas City institution, the
Central National owes the American Ma
tiopal 81, 100.

after they had taken possession of the office
delegation of citizens ran them out and
barred the doors, and at Stone City a rope
was stretched across the track and a card sus-
pended there saying: mo man but A. L.
Comstock will be allowed to work here"
All along the line, from Marion to Sabula
Junction, the citizens have boycotted the
new men and will not sell the new men meals.
The operators claim that the situation looks
brighter for them than at any time since the
Inauguration of strike.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 26.-There is

gained by landlordism may be judged by the
fact that all the stores in New Tipperary and
