THE FOREST FIRE SUFFERERS.
Ample Provision for All the Victims Of
the Groat Disaster.


PINE CITY Mimi, Sept. 9.-The worst
has been told at Hinckley. There has
been but one party of dead discovered
since yesterdays report. They were in a
cellar west of Hnckley, and it cannot be
told whether there are three or four bod
les, so badly are they burned. The work
of draining the mill pond is progressing
slowly, but the opinion is that little will
be revealed. A huge building for Offices
and shelter Is almost enclosed. The sur
vivors have authorized their village or
ganization to prepare an expression of
their deep gratitude to the people all over
the United States who have come so gem
erously to the aid of this stricken people.
Supplies are coming in rapidly, and there
is no lack in any department of relief
work. The committee of citizens of the
state appointed by the governor went to
Duluth last night, and will return to Pine
City for a general inspections of the work
that has been performed and a careful es-
innate of the total relief required.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. Since the ar
rival of the first party of refugees from
the awful Iinckley fire last Saturday Du-
luth has cared for 800 people. Hospitals
have been established all over the city,
and every public building and hund reds
of private residences are sholtering rel
ugees. Nearly Sl5,0O0 in actual cash has
been paid into the relief fund here, and
the subscriptions, including lumber and
supplies, will aggregate 100000. Last
night the state relief committee arrived.
and the local committee has turned the
work over TO It, Many of the refugees are
leaving the city, returning to their homes
to begin the work of reconstruction.

LAWLESSNE SIS IN NEW YORK
Byrnes' Report to the
New York Police Board

New YoRK, Sept. 7.-Superintendent
Byrnes, at u meeting OF the police board.
submitted report made in compliance
with resolution passed by the police
board three months ago, directing him to
investigate the condition aud efficiency of
the police force. ..-
Superintendent Byrnes tells the com
missioners that the laws to suppress
crime aud disorder are well enforced with
the exception Of the excise law. ieshows
that this law is continually violated, due
to the great difficulty encountered by of
fcers in their efforts to procure evidence
against offenders.
AS to gambling" continues the report.
my Investigations are that there Is no
public gambling in this city at the pres
ent time. There may he isolated cases
where gambling is carried on behind
bolted and barred doors"
Isolated cases OF gambling in "A large
city will always exist, in the superinten-
dents opinion. The report speaks SINH
larly of policy and other petty gambling.
The suppression Of houses of prostitu-
tion and assignation is n very difficult
problem to solve, according to the report.
Commenting on the subject Superinten-
dent Byrnes says: ....
"If the law was such that the police
were required to drive prostitutes from
the city, prostitution, while it could not
even then be entirely eradicated, would be
greatly diminished; but these women
have rights under the law. and they can
not be baniShed or eNilcd from our midst;
they have the right to live in this COM
munity, and living here, will OF necessity
take all possible chances to ply their il
/ liclt cnlliug."

SUGAR PLANTERS BOLT
They Decide to Join Hands with
the Republicans.
A SERIOUS BREAK THREATENED.

In Convention at Now Orleans Three
Hundred Representative Louisianans
Take Action That May Lose Three
Congrossmen to the Democrats.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7. The sugar
planters convention in this city yester-
day was the most remarkable gathering
IN many years, and the first serious break
in the Democratic party in twenty years
is now actually threatened. The conven-
ton declared in favor of an alliance with
the Republican party on national issues,
and two and possibly three congressional
districts, comprising the sugar region, are
endangered to the Democrats. There were
about 300 representative men present at
the convention, and nearly all of them
are men of wealth, with large influence.
Messrs. Mccall, Pugh, Keernockan,
Estinapal, Ware and others advised an al
lance with the Republican party. They
said they had been betrayed by the Demo-
Gratis, and that the only hope of protec-
tion for sugar lay in joining hands with
the Repu blicans. They realized the full
import of breaking with the Democratic
party but feeling that the negro question
was no longer an issue, aud that the white
race would forever govern the southern
country, they said they had reached tho
conclusion that self preservation required
an aililintion with party that would give
them the protection necessary for the
prosperity of the industry which is the
backbone of the state.

lutions, and it is said that tho gentlemen
