The Western Forest Fires.

The destruction of life and property
caused by forest fires between st. Paul,
Minnesota, and Duluth has been on an
enormous scale, reaching the proper
tons of great calamity. A vast area
has been swept by flames, six towns
have been consumed and hundreds OF
persons are known to have been de-
stroyed.
Never in the history Of Minnesota,
and never in the life of the northwest,
except at the time of the fires in the
Michigan pineries in October, 1871,
twenty.three years ago, has there been
such a terrible loss of life and suffering
az has been caused by the fires of the
past two days in northern Minnesota.
At late hour yesterday it was esti-
mated that between 400 and 600 peo-
nile had been burned to death or suffo-
Gated, and the wide discrepancy in
these figures is but proof of the utter
impossibility of getting reliable infor-
nation. Several towns and number
of smaller settlements we're entirely de-
stroved. The loss TO property and tim
Der will run up into millions. The rail-
road companies also lose heavily. In
Wisconsin and Michigan the fires were
still spreading yesterday; but in Min
nesota their fury was checked by rain
and several other towns to which the
fire was rapidly spreading, were saved.
Over three thousand people are
homeless in Minnesota. Relief trains
were sent out yesterday from Minneap-
oils and other points, and tents were
set up near the smouldering ruins OF
the burned towns.

camp. According to the best-posted
politicians, the populists will not carry
a district in either Virginia or North
Carolina, and the general opinion is
that the contest this veal, except in a
very few districts of the United States,
will be squarely between the demo-
Gratis and the republicans. Inc popu-
lists ars even reported to be playing
out in Kansas and Nebraska, and Col
orado and Nevada are the only States
in which they will probably hold their
own.
