FIRES ALL AROUND.
Several Small Places Geta Scorch-
ing

ing.
DULUTH, Sept. 9.-Forest fires were
renewed again today in this region by
heavy southwest gale, which steadily
increased in force. The bright sun was
shut off. and the horizon again took on
the sickly yellow coat of the fatal Sat.
urday week ago. There was great ex-
citement here, and everyone rushed to
telegraph and train-dispatche ers' offices.
The sensation was intensified by the
breaking out of great fires III the city
limits. Fire crept around in'the under
growth at Oneota and caused some ap-
prehensiOn, for this is in the vicinity of
the Missaba ore dock. Then an alarm
came in from Duluth Heights, a
suburb at the top of tine hill
which is surrounded by timber. The
fire department sent up detachme mt,
which little later sent for fire en-
gine. Then excitement was at fever
pitch, for news had been coming in of
the side-tracking of the st. Paul & Du-
luth passenger trains because of fires
on all sides of them.
AT Kerrick the inhabitants put in the
afternoon fighting the fire, bat it was
thought in the evening the danger was
over. Barnum, too, had narrow es-
cape all the afternoon. At Kimberly,
on the Northern Pacific. only large
gang of railway laborers saved the
town. Ats o'clock the wind shifted
from southwest to northwest, thus
driving back the flames, and at IL O. clock
had almost entirely died away. No
danger is now feared unless the gale
springs up again.

DARK FOR LYNCHERS.
THEIR PLOT Is FINALLY LAID
BARE.
The Memphis Conspirators Are
Exposed by the Son OF the
Sheriff

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 9.-The whole
plot of the lynehing of six alleged negro
incendiar.es near Millington. Tenn. the
night OF Aug. 81. has been laid bare. and
before many hours elapse every man
implicated in the conspiracy will be in
Jail. Robert McCarver, son of j. A.
McCarver, sheriff of Shelby county, is
the man who exposed the con-
spiratOrs. He was taken before the
grand jury last night and told the
whole story. McCarver at first refused
to testify, bmt when shown the alterna-
tive of going to Jail in contempt of
court or revealing the plot he chose the
latter. In his testimony before the
grand jury McCarver said that he was
invited to participate in the massacre
of the negroes by II. N. Smith, one
of the men now in the county jail,
under indictment for murder in the
first degree for completely in the
lynchlng. Smith gave McCarver the
names of the men who would compose
the mob. and told him that the negroes
would be arrested by Detective w. S.
Richardson, placed in wagon and
driven to Big Creek swamp, where the
mob would be In waiting. When the
invitation to assist in the assassination
was rendered to young McCarver, it was
then represented that his father knew
all about it, and that Judge Cooper, of
the criminal court, was not in the dark.
These representations were untrue, and
were made by Smith with the intention,
if possible, of mixing She riff McCarver
in the affair through his son, so that his
hands would be tied il au investigation
should be instituted by the authorities.
Young McCarver declined to join the
mob. but the lynching came off on time.
McCarver, the day after the lynch
ing, disclosed the details of the
plot to Joseph Thiers and Hoffman, and
through them the grand jury obtained
its first information about the conspir.
acy and the Importance Of McCarver's
testimony. Cox denied all knowledge
of the affair III his testimony before the
grand jury, and was indicted last night
for perjury. Criminal Court Judge
Cooper today, after hearing of McCar-
ver's confession, ordered him placed
under $4,000 bond to insure his pres
ence at the trial of the lynchers. but he.
being unable to furnish bail, was sent
to jail

PINE CITY, Sept. 9.-Today has been
m eventful one in Pine City. All day
long brasSy, murky haze hung over
the village like pail, which up TO noon
filled the people with anxious, nervous
unrest. About noon a strong west gale
set in, driving before it smoke, dust and
cinders from the burning forest, entirely
shutting out the sunlight, leaving only
cold, threatening glare on the portent-
Gus clouds. The people here strongly
anticipated another Hinckley horror,

abated somewhat, and the trains which
had hithertoO been held at different
points along the line to await coming
events, were ordered 10 move, and, with
clearing skies and the reassuring
resumption of business, the people

DECATUR, H., Sept. "a shocking
accident occurred last night at the
home of John w. wilkins. While pre-
pairing supper. Mrs. wilkins placed
gasoline in a pitcher to put in the tank.
One of her daughters thinking the
pitcher contained water, poured the
gasoline into the coffee pot to make
coffee. and put the pot on the stove,
leaving some gasollue in the
pitcher. Instantly both vessels were
in blaze. The pitcher was
thrown into the yard, and the blazing
vessel lgnited the clothing of Pearl
wilkins and her little brother, who
we're in swing. The girl was so badly
burned that she died this morning. The
boy was probably fatally scorched, and

The damage to private property is esti-
mated at $4,000, and to sewers and
highways $4,000. That no lives were

flooded districts are very Door.
and are suffering for want OF
assistance. During the storm lightning
struck the residence Of President VIII
bur, of the Lehigh Valley, the municipal
building and TroxelPs furniture store,
doing little damage, however. Hail
stones as large as walnutS fell. The
funeral cortege of the late Mrs. William
Sinner was caught in the storm re-
turning from the cemetery. The horses

Their Fleets Large and Well
Handled--Chinese Commit
ting Outrages.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Sept. 9.-The North.
ern Pacific liner Sikh, from Yokohama,
brings interesting advices OF the war in
the Orient. The reason given by the
commander of the Japanese war ship
Nanawai Kan, when asked why he fired
upon the Kow Shing, seeing she was
flying the British flag, is now given for
the first time, and is certainly pertinent:
because she was sailing under false
and had been sold to the Chinese
government and fully paid for" Not
withstanding this explanation, the same
paper which gives it publicity an

bean agreed to by the Japanese gov
ernment as reparation for the sink
ing OF Capt. Gaiworthv's vessel and com
pensation to those dependent upon the
Europeans lost with her. Both China
and Japan are at present keenly alert
for articles contraband of war, and
to this the delay in the arrival of the
Sikh is attributable. The government
has declined to consider
Rice as Contraband
of war, but both belligerents claim it to
be such, and use every endeavor to
intercept rice-carrying vessels. The
Sikh was delayed at Shanghai by
Chinese gunboat. which made
al effort to gain possession
of the rice portion of her cargo. The
B ritish consul objected and the mer-
chairman was allowed to proceed. 1t
is almost impossible to get reliable ";
news anywhere the East, even at
Shanghai. This trip the steamer
passed very close to the Foo Chow forts
and saw the Chinese garrison drawn up
in line. They were all attlred in flow
ing sack gowns of guady col0rs and had
high, three-cOrnered silk hats and made
curious spectacle. These forts are in
charge of all Englishman, the son of a
ceedingly strong. One of their eighty
ton guns burst ssome time ago. killing
several men. 1t is generally under
stood this occurred through ignorance
in handling it. China is now hurrying
an army of
Hundreds of Thousands
of men through Northern China to
Korea, but as they are subSisting upon
the products of the country through
which they are passing, and most of it
Is mountainous, it is hard to say with
what success they will meet. Most of
the men enlisted and drafted into the
Chinese army are coolies of low order.
The Chinese have been offering great
inducements to Europeans and Amer
leans to enter their service, aud have
secured many. On the other hand, the
Japanese have no outsiders in any
branch of the service. On the way over
OH the last trip to the Orient, the Sikh
passed three fleets of twenty Japanese
ships. They were divided into four
divisions. with five ships in each di-
vision. They were well handled. At
the smaller Chinese ports all manner of
outrages have been committed on resi-
dent Japanese, and in some places
Portuguese have been robbed. At Tien
Tsin the child of the Japanese consul
was abducted, and when he took his
leave to return to his country, his legs
and arms were tied, and he was carried
to the wharf with a bamboo stick
through his arms.

DEMAND STRONG.
First-CIass Stocks Arc Wanted
i'm London.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The money mar
ket during the week was very dull
and rates unchanged. Possible gold
Withdrawals for shipment abroad are
mOoted, but there is no present indlca-
tion of such movement. The feature
in the stock marked was the renewed
demand for first.class stocks, owing to
the cheapness of money. Home railway
securities were in poor demand, and
prices were mostly slightly lower.
Foreign securities were irregular. 1t is
announced that syndicate has pur-
chased e5O0,000 worth of the E2, 900, 900
worth of Buenos Ayres water works
bonds held by the Barings. This trans
action will make satisfactory showing
in the Bank of England's coming state
meat as to the Barring liquidation.
American railway securities were
dull in conse Quence of partial cessa-
ton of purchase and reali ization orders.
This setback, however, did not affect
the general outlook. In fact the tone
of the market was improved at the en- d
of the week. Canadian Pacifics were

ST. CLOUD, Mimi. Sept. 9.-About 5
O'Clock today report reached the Great
Northern dispatcher's Office from the
operator at Mora stating that big fire
was surrounding the village, and, being
famed bya heavy wind from the uorth-
west, threatened total destruction.
Because of the threatened danger the
inhabitants left their abodes and
started out for places of safety.
The operator at Mora also stated
that he had to leave his post
and close the Office. He took his family
to place of refuge and awaited what
appeared certain disaster. Fortunately
the high wind changed, driving the
flames in another direction, and at this
time (S:15) word comes from Mora and
Ground House that further damage
may be averted if the wind does not
change. 1t is reported that Soule's saw
mill and lumber yard. between Milaca
and Princeton, were totally destroyed

NORTH ADAMS, Sept. 9.-The most
horrible disaster known in this vicinity
took place on the Fitchburg roai last
evening. in the Hoosac tunnel, short
distance east of the Central shaft. The
accident was caused by rear.end COL
lision, between eastbound trains as near
as can be ascertained, happening about
1:30 p. m. A freight train had stopped
to repair an engine which mad broken
down and about the same time a
west : bonnd express train passed
through the tunnel, filling it
with smoke. A second east bound
freight train was allowed to enter the
tunnel contrary to the rules of the
road, and the engineer, being unable OIL
account of the dense smoke left by the
passenger train to distinguish the lights
OF the train from the lights OIL the walls
of the tunnel, went into 1t with a crash.
A horrible disaster was the result, both
trains being badly wrecked. The tun-
mel was blockaded and two men killed
outright, aud three were seriously in
jured. The killed are:
WILLIAM TURPENING, brakeman, of
Syracuse. n. Y.
GEORGE MIMMICK, brakeman, Of
Fitchburg.
The injured are: Walter Clapp, en-

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The correspondent
of the Times at Shanghai telegraphs as
follows:
An extraordinary mission has arrived
at Tien-Tsin, conveying birthday pres
ents from the king of Korea to the en-
press dowager of China. The mission
will proceed to Pekin. A collision be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese
forces occurred near Ping.Yang on
Sept. Z. The result is not known.
The growing crops have reached such a
height as to make military operations
almost impossible. A dispatch from
Tlen-Tsin says that the British minister
has signed covenant with the viceroy
providing for the connection of the
Chinese telegraph lines with those Of
Burmah and other parts of India. The
United States war ship Monacacy has
arrived at Tien-Tsin. The war news
which has been received at Tien-Tsin

DlfrerenCe or opinion as to
Whether He Got Drunk on 1t.
VANCOUVER, WASH. Sept. 9.-In the
court martial of Capt. Goodwin at Van
couver barracks number of witnesses
testified that the accused was not drunk
at Spokane or at any dress parade here,
as charged. The most important evil
dence was given by Lieut.. Col. Theakel,
reviewing officer at the dress parade.
He had observed Capt. Goodwin closely,
ami did not believe that he was under
the influence of liquor or incapable of
performing his duty. Maj. Burke,
while admitting that he believed that
Capt. Goodwin had been drinking,
thought he was capable of performing
his duty perfectly, aud when asked if
he thought Goodwin would have been
capable of commanding his company in
putting down a riot, emphatically an.
sWered in the affirmative.
