MANY TOWNS In ASHES.
Destructive Work of the Northern Mich

Bcme1ess-The Flames Sweep Over an
Immense Area, Leaving Nothing but
Smoking Ruins Fears that Many
Lives Have Been Lost in the Fires.

WHITE CLOUD, Mich, Nav 1.-THE
five upper townshipsin this county have
been a surging sea of fire ever since
Sunday, and it is believed that not a
single one of the small hamlets is left
Fields Station, with it's four saw mills
and general store, is no more, and the
800 people who lived there Sunday are
to-day without home or roof to cover
their heads. Otia, or DingmaE, as il is
known to the postal authorities, is but q
collection of smoking ruins, with the
200 people who called the place
home standing around in despair. Park
City, in Lincoln Township, went out in
fire and smoke yesterday morning
Nothing is left Of the cluster of small
houses that marked the place. Lilly
Station is hardly worth the name of
station, as only the small hotel and
smaller railroad station are left to mark
the town site. Freight cars without
number burned, and logging trains
melted away into ashes Oh the tracks
where they stood awaiting their loads
of lumber.
the people who lived in VAUDEVILLE be-
fore the fire struck that town arrived
here yesterday in a deplorable state.
cept the clothes they wore, and they
are exhausted with hard work in trying
to save their village They say that it
is impossible to tell how many of the
inhabitants escaped alive, but they
fear that many died in the woods
where they fed for safety. The
village had 800 inhabitants, and no
one knows where more than half
this number is at present. The loss at
this point will reach $4,000. Vague
rumors of large loss of life in other
points come, but veriication is impossi-
BILE. This entire county will be swept
unless rain comes to-day.
SUPERIOR, Wis, Nay 12.-Reports from
Gordon. Wis, small station thirty
miles south, say that forest fires are
raging and that several building have
been burned at and near the place.
The loss, estimated at $4,000,
has been done to pine timber
belonging to the Saurtry d Tozier Lum-
Der Company. The inhabitants are
considerably alarmed. The conductor
on the Chicago limited reports that
fierce fires are raging along the track
between thi city and Rice Lake.

BLOW TO THE LEAGUE.

The Harrington Brothers to Desert Par
nell for the Opposition Faction.
LONDON, May 14.-What is left of the
Parnellite organization in Ireland is to
receive fatal blow within the next few
days. The two Harrington brothers.
Timothy and Edward, have decided to
give in their adhesion to the Nationalist
party. Timothy, report says, will make
the first move. The two brothers have
been by all odds the most formidable Of
of Parnell's friends, because they con-
trolled the machinery of the old Nation
al League.
DUBLIN, May 1.-THE National Press,
the McCarthyite organ, announces to-
day that E. Dwyer Gray, formerly mem
Der of Parliament for Dublin, and hold
er of stock of the company owning the
Freeman's Journal of this city, the
Evening Telegraph of this city, and the
Morning News of Belfast, has seeded

lected in 1880 for the relief of distress

New YORK, May 1.-THE following
statement was given out at the residence
of Mr.. Damrosch this morning relative
to the illness of Secretary James G.
Blaine:
There seems to be an impression that the
condition of Secretary Blaine is much
worse than has been reported from day to
day in the newspapers. DR.. Dennis, the
family physician, called at the Damrosch
"esidC.lce this morning, and, after remain
~ with Mr.. Blaine for nearly half an
ur, stated that his patient was feeling

Mira Blaine stated that it was barely os-
sible that she and her husband would leave
for Washington tomorrow. DR.. Dennis
added that he had no fears but that the
Secretary would be at his duties soon.
Mrs, Blaine favors the programme of a
first visit TO Washington, followed by IA

CAPTURED THE ETATA.

Report that the Charleston Has Taken
the Insurgent Vessel.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 16.--It is
rumored here that the Etata has been
captured by the Charleston off the
coast of the state of Jalisco, and that
she is now returning with her prisoner
towards San Diego. It is impossible to
verify or deny the rumor. The man
of-war reported flying no colors and
lying off the coast of San Bias on in
vestigation proved to be coastwise

vessels of suspicious character.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 16.-The captain
of the steamer Newbern, which arrived
at this port at midnight last night, re-
ported that on the way down the coast
she met the CHILEAN warshlp Esmerelda
at Cape St. Lucas, and spoke with Off
GERS of that vessel. After leaving the
Esmerelda, which proceeded north, he
passed some time during the night YES
sci supposed to be the CHILEAN warship
1mperlale, also going nortn. On his re-
turn trip he reports seeing none Of
these vessels. The captain further stat
ed he is of the opinion that the Esmer-
elda, and the Etata put into Magdalena
Bay where their cargo could have been
ira 'lsferred without any trouble, and
the Charleston might have passed by
while this transfer was being made.

Ell of pensions, has rendered his res
ignation as the assistant chief of the
pension bureau and the same has beer
accepted.
For some time past rumors affecting
the official conduct of Mr.. Raum, Jr.,
have fodnd their way to Secretary No
BILE, but not until just before his depart
ure for St. Lonis, about one week ago,
did he come into possession Of facts that
would warrant him in taking official ac-
ton in the matter.
Secretary Noble then learned, upon
what appeared to be peferfectly trust
worthy testimony, that Mr.. Raum, Jr.,
had been party to certain irregular
and unlawful proceedings in connection
with three appointments to minor posi-
tons in the Pension Bureau. The tenn
porary appropriation to his own uses of
S72 belonging to the government is also
charged against him.
Mr.. Raum. Jr., it is said, stoutly pro-
tested his innocence of the charges
made against him, but the Secretary
thought that in any event his useful
ness In the pension bureau was at an
end, and so determined to require hi 8
