and was removed to the engine house.
The terrible heat of the fire caused
high pressure of steam to generate in
one of the street hydrants, and for some
time the spectators were apprehensive
that the hydrant would explode.
A most affecting scene occurred On
Twelfth avenue. which was only the
type OF many others which resulted
from that awful days fire. An aged
German woman who talked broken
English was loudly bewailing the loss o
her property. Evidently she was
widow supporting herself, with boy
perhaps fourteen years under her
care. The boy was himself cry
ing at the actions of his mother

Ing left: everything is gone. What
shall we do next winteI@ Thay had
saved small trunk full of effects and
the boys bicycle. Another woman in
the same district, as the flames were
rushing upon her home. went up and
down looking for her children. "Wo
sind die kinder?" was the cry she re-
peated, wringing her hands, and she
was unable TO find them.

most exciting view OF the fire from the
West side, between Plymouth avenue
and Twentieth avenue. He said:
''Whlle L was standing there a great
many people Oh the east side of the river
began TO stack their household goods ON
the bank. They had built up
large pile, when the fire spread,
and was seen making Roadway
for the stored furniture. The p4ople
then began to throw their goods into the
river, and so quickly did the flames
spread that they were surrounded by
wall of fire. To escape they had to jump
into the river and onto the logs" MIR.
Bannon said later in the evening when
he visited the same locality, he was in
formed that two people were drowned.
No one, however, could give any definite
information regarding the unfortunate
individuals.

and went out in the country, returning
last night to find house and money de-

Lieut.. Lewellen, of No. 4, and Lieut..
Kerppen, of Engine No. Is. were
hemmed in by the fire, and jumped in
the river TO save themselves. This gave
rise to the untimeIy report that several
were drowned.

PEARY DELAYED
Because of His Inability to Secure
Dogs.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Aug. 13.-The Lab
rador mail steamer reports having spok-
en- PearY'S steamer Falcon at Davis In
let, Northern Labrador, Aug. 2. She
had been Storm-o0und two days. Peary
had been engaged in visiting the coast
settlements for the previous two weeks
endeavoring to get dogs, but had not
succeeded, and then proposed visiting
the MOIavian settlements to the north
ard then going to Disco,as he was near
ly certain TO get dogs there. His plans
had been seriously disarranged through
the unexpected delay. The steamer
reports also volcanic eruption
at Cape Harrison, Labrador, Wednes-
day, Aug. 2. Fishermen engaged off
the cape heard great noises, and saw the
whole cliff atire. They landed and
found a portion of the hill had col
lapsed, and immense flames. stones and
cinders were Issuing therefrom. The
steamers officers report having seen a
column of fire many miles away. The
flames were intense, and plainly visible
at night. AS there are no woods, forests
or buildings near by to cause this, it
might be of purely volcanic origin. In
the opinion of those in st. Johns &C
quainted with the locality, the affair is
the result OF the agitation of the earth's
internal fires, as Labrador is not north
of the sphere of volcanic action.

TIE LADIES QUARRELED,
First Clear statement OF the
Worlds Fair ROW

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Geographic
accounts of the late unpleasantness in
the board of lady managers have neces-
sarily been of such fragmentary char
acter that the public generally is much
bewildered as to what it was all about.
The demonstrations Of the difficulty
occurred at perpleXingly irregular inter-
walls and with apparent irrelevance, and
were given by the press to the public
IN the same way. In short, brief,
clear, continuous narration of the facts
in the case seems advisable, and this
has been secured by the Associated
Press from one of the members of the
board, who, for obvious reasons,
prefers not to be known in the
matter. In the first place it
should be understood that the present
trouble is largely a continuation of the
Phoebe CouZlns quarrel, which caused
SO much unpleasantness shortly after
the formation of the board. Mrs.
Meredith, of Indiana. one of the parties
to the late unpltasantness, was an active
agent in the removal of Miss Couzins
from the secretaryship of the board.
Mrs. Ball, of Delaware, was an equal V
active fighter on Miss Couzins' side aL
the time, and has ever since occupied =

WHO STARTED IT ?
Some People Advance a Startlin
Theory.

Some People Advance a Startling
Theory.
The theory of the origin of the island
fire is that it was started in an old
stable by two boys who were smoking
cigarettes. That il had no connection.
however, with the large and more dis
astrOus fire is absolutely certain. Burn
ing brands could not have been waited
such a distance without setting fire to
some intermediate building. Besides,
had brands been carried by the wind,
the direction in which it was blowing
would have carried them to point
farther east than Boom island. where
the second fire broke out. There is
little doubt that the second fire was
kindled by an incendiarY.
a Well-knOwn insurance man last
night advanced the theory that it was
klndled by some enemy of the fire de
partment. This theory is merely given
to show what opinions are expressed.
But enc thing is certain, ana that is
that it could not possibly have origi-
mated where it did except by design. 1t
started III the lower end OF the slab piles
and worked northeast with startling
rapidity. In half an hour from the time
that the blaze was discovered in the
slab piles, the fire was burning at
the Minneapolis Tor Urth's) brewery,
over mile away. The territory be-
tween these two points was one Seething
mass of fire, so hot that no human being
could live anywhere near it. There was
no such thing as battling with the
fl mes. All there was to 90 was to let
t e mil aud the lumber 90, and try and
S rangle the fiery serpent before it had
WOund its coils around the entire resi-
dence pc ton Of Northeast Minneapolis.
Tnat anything was saved above Sixth
avenue northeast. on the east side of the
river, is due to Providence more than to
the skill OF man. 1t is true that the
Minneapolis and st. Paul engines sta
toned at the brewery did yeoman
service in checking the spread of the
flames, but they would have been as
pOwerleSs to stem the tide as would a
man 10 stay an ocean storm with his
voice had not the wind suddenly shifted
and blown toward the river, where there
was nothing more to burn. That the
wind was no greater than it was at any
time during the fire was not one of the
least fortunate circumstances of the
day.

In the Public Halls.

The scene at Turner hall, corn er
Marshall street and Sixth avenue north
east, and at st. Anthony hall, at Eighth
averue and Second street, would excite
the pity OF the most callOuS and indif-
terent heart. The dim and Pickering
lights OF the big rooms more than half
hlled with shadows fell on a scene
OF AFFECT misery that can never
be forgotten. uuddled together were
men, women aud children, men, most
OF whom ad lost their all and many of
whom were half clad. Infants were
slumbering on ticks and in improvlsed
BEDS on the floor while the older child
rem clung to terror-strcken mothers,
and even the men were scarcely less
cowed from freight and the terror
OF the sudden calamity that had
so swiftly Overtaken them. Last night
the halls were kindly thrown
open for the reception of the
homeless ones, and over fifty families.
besides great number of single men,
were given shelter, food being fur
nlShed by the city and the Webber Glo-
Gerry company. With hardly an eXcep-
ZION they are all Bohemians, and only
Que or two could speak English. For
the most part they are left destitute
and absolutely homeless, having been
literally cleaned out of house, home and
clothing.

ON The COURSES.
Condition of Business in European
CenterS

LONDON, Aug. 13.-Discount was quiet
during tie week at for three months
and for short sight. The bank of Eng
lands reserve is now 14,50O,OO0. Tn e
Withdrawal of another million from the
bank will probably be regarded with
equanimity, but anything beyond that
amount is almost certain to cause the
banks rate to be advanced per cent.
The present situation is a complex one,
and it is difficult TO forecast the out
come. The cOncensus of opinion is that
the present bank rate will check further
serious demands from the United States.
Business ON the stock exchange was
stagnant throughout the week, owing
to the English holiday season and the
unsettled condition of the market in the
United States. COnsols closed half
lower. Foreign securities were dull
Mexican Us fell 81. American railroad
securities were unsettled, though the
tendency was somewhat better than last

NORMAL SCHOOL CONGRESS
Beginning at the University Next
Wednesday.


Wednesday,.
The closing week Of the university
summer school will be made especially
attractive by a normal school congress,
which meets at the university at Q a.
IN. on the 10th.
The following subjects of discussion
have beer designated as those of much
practical Importance, and to these the
special consideration of the congress
will be invited:
l. Are the present courses of study of
the Minnesota normal schools the best
in time and content?
2. Is coordination of the normal
school and the university desirable and
practicable?
3. Can entrance conditions be i'm
proved. and how?
4. Does practice work need reforma-
ton, and If so along what lines?
5. To what extent and how can
Laboratory methods" be wisely used
i'll the study of the real child' by
normal school pupils?
While these topics will afford material
for the full days session, otter subjects
are not necessarily excluded. No papers
will be read. The discussions will be
of the round table, character-in-
formal and extemporaneous. Many
representatives of schools in other
states are expected to be present, in-
Guiding President W. II. Payne, of the
Peabody Normal college and President
Albee, of Oshkosh, Wis.

FEW WE'RE THERE.
The Sunday Attendance at the
FAIR Very Meager.

CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-The exposition
grounds were open today, about half of
the usual force of the bureau of ad-
mission being stationed at the gates.
There was nothing OF interest to attract
the visitors. and few of them were at
the fair, less, perhaps, than any day
since 1t was opened. The doors OF the
big buildings were open, and people
only StrOlled through TO avoid the rays
of the sun, as there was nothing IN the
interior open to view. On the door of
the Indiana state building was card
bearing the words: This building not
open today" and other state houses
were locked as securely as this. The
Plaisance was the only place where the
few who attended could interest them
selves. The only event of the day was

Two suspects were isolated at Hoff-

NO CHANGES To BE MADE.
The House Rules Will Stand
About as Now.

WAsHIN GToN, Aug. 13.-Since the
house entered upon the discussion of
the silver question Friday, under an
order which will not exhaust itself until
the close of next week, the probability
that the organization of the house, by
the adoption of rules and appointment
of committees would not be completed
tor two or three weeks, has changed
into almost a certainty. As yet no call
for meeting of the committee on rules
has been issued, although one NAV be
tomorrow or Tuesday. One of the mem
bars of the majority of the committee,
when asked about the prospects for
action on the rules, said that when the
present order of the house had expired
there was no need or the rules. 1t was
not possible to break in upon the silver
debate with one over the adoption of
the rules, even were the new code ready
to be reported. So, in his opinion, the
committee would not be in a hurry
to prepare the report. The member
further remarked the probabilities were
that the rules of the house in the Fifty
second congress. which had been re-
ferred to the committee far considera-
ton, would not be materially changed /:
in fact, he expected but few changes of
any nature from the system under which
the last house was directed. Secretary
Carlisle spent an hour or two with
Speaker Crisp in his room at the capitol
last Thursday. and they probably
touched upon the subject of rules in the
course of their conversation. Nothing
could be more natural than that Mr..
Crisp should solicit an opinion from his
predecessor in the speakers chair, and
especially from one who won such high
reputation as presiding officer as did
Mr.. Carlisle in that position, and any
suggestions the secretary saw fit
to make would doubtless be most
carefully considered by the committee.
There is but one rule to which any gen.
eral interest Alta hes. the one governing
closure. The best oUtainable opinion is
that there will be no radical change
from the rule in force last congress,
which gave the house power to end de-
bate or prevent fifibuStering upon any
proposition when the majority SO de-
sired

JAMESTOWN, n. D., Aug. 13.-At 2
O'Clock this afternoon the worst fire in
the history of jamestown started, and
burned for two hours. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 of damage was done. A
high wind from the south made an ex-
tremely hot fire, and everything went
like Under. The efficient work of the
fire department saved much property,
and at times the firemen had to turn the
hose onto each other TO eXtinguish burn
Ing clothes. Property on the opposite
side or the avenue from where the fire
started was saved with difficulty. Fire
men from the insane hospital. three
miles south of the city, assisted. The
hre was of incendiary origin, starting in
an old skating rink. 1t burned the Capital
hotel, recently enlarged and refur-
nished. The loss is $4,000; insurance,
$4,000. The MetrOpolital block went
next. The Daily Capital, located in the
basement, the armGry of Company II,
the Alliance Hall associations office
on the first floor. and the residences of
B. Rinker, William Lloyd and James
Herbert were also destroyed. Herbert
was seriously burned about the face and
hands while attempting to save goods.
The fire made clear jump of 200 feet
north, destroying three barns in rear of
dwellings. The latter were saved with
difficulty. A gentleman named Ralph,
visiting in the city, was seriously in
Jured III attempting to remove trunk
from the Metropolitan block. He was
burned on the hands. face and chest
The remainder of the people escaped
only with the clothes on their back. The
total insurance is estimated at about
$4,000. The large number of tramps in
the city were driven out tonight to pre-
vent thieving. Company A was detailed
with loaded guns to guard property.
