The Disaster Not Exaggerated.

ST. PAUL, Sept 3.-Later details simply
confirm the reports received yesterday as
to the magnitude Of the Hinclley disas-
ter. The most conservative estimates of
deaths in the six towns Of Pine county
are 1862, and from that figure 60 up to
1000. Although the exact number of
dead will never be known, enough is
known to make this one of the most ap-
palling disasters in American history.
More have persisted, but never so many

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept 2.-Six towns
wiped out and more than 500 dead is the
record made by the forest fires in this
state in the past twenty-four hours. In
Hinckley, Sandstone, Pokegama, Sand
stone Junction, Skunk Lake and Mission
Creek there are 355 known dead. In
addition, several hundred are missing,
while from $50 to 200 were scattered on
farms throughout the district burned
over. The destruction was complete in
most of the towns named, but some of
the forest land escaped. The loss, how
ever, will be in the millions, and the loss
of life will not be definitely known for
several days, if ever. The relief trains
brought supplies sent out from this city,
Minneapolis, Duluth and other towns,
and the sufferers are being cared for at
Pine City and other points.
St. Paul was quick to respond to the
needs of the stricken people. In an in
credibly short space Of time $4,000 worth
of provisions and clothes were raised and
together with hospital supplies, tents,
etc, for the use Of the survivors, We're
hurriedly sent on 4 special train for the
scene. The people of Rush City and
Pine City have also responded nobly to
the call for relief.

An Oregon Youth Shoots Three People
and Then Suicides.
EUGENE, Ore, March "a revolving
tragedy occurred here late last night.
Albert Moss, q youth of 20 years. in a
frenzy OF rage attempted to assasinate
the entire Coleman family. After shoot
ing and killing one woman, badly injur-
ing another and fatally wounding an old
man, the young maniac sent a bullet
through his own heart and died.
Young Moss, it appears, had bitter
quarrel with his father over some family
matter. In the heat of his passion he
learned that the Colemans were in
sympathy with his father in the trouble.
The youth purchased a revolver and
went direct to the Coleman residence.
In the parlor he was received by Miss
Belle Coleman and Mrs. Emma Osborne,
Coleman's daughters. After talking
with them few minutes he pulled the
pistol out and without warning began
shooting at the women. Mrs. Osborne
fell to the floor dead, shot through the
breast. Miss Coleman was shot through
the arm, but managed to escape. Moss
then rushed into old man Coleman's
bed room and began firing at him. Two
shots took effect, one through either
lung. Coleman cannot recover. Moss
then ran out into a vacant lot and fired
bullet through his own heart.
A letter found on Moss says he shot
Miss Coleman because she failed to keep
her promise of marrying him. He shot
her sister. Mrs. Osborne, because she in
tertered in his plan.

Promising Signs Despite the Unfriendly
Attitude of England.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-None of the
silver men in the house expressed any
surprise when informed OF the discour-
aging remarks of the British chancellor
of the exchequer, on the outlook of the
reaasembling of the monetary confer
ence. McCreary of Kentucky, a dele
gate from the United States to the con-
ference, said:
1.-THE outlook does not indicate that
an international monetary conference
will be held this year. There is, how
ever, growing feeling in Europe in favor
of the enlarged use of silver. England
has been in tavor of gold monomstalliam
a number of years, but there are many
able men who favor international BIZ
metallism. England has blockaded
the way more than any other nation,
and prevented an international agree
ment many years, but / believe there
will be, after while, such demand for
international bimetalliem that another
conference must be held. But it is
probably impossible that it can assem-
be until several leading countries of
Europe indicate q desire for a confer
ence."
Newlands OF Nevada said he had no
expectation that England would move
for the reassembling of the conference
while the Liberals remain in power. II
the Conservatives could secure control
he would consider the prospect
brighter for an international agree
ment, since Balfour and other
prominent men of that party are favor
able to silver. He was confident that
under this administration the initiative
would not be taken by the United
States.
Senator Allison, another delegate to
the last conference, read the dispatch
with the comment that he had known
all the time that the United Kingdom
would not propose another conference.
Bland said the action WAS ministerial.
He believed the United States should
stand on its own feet. "I never took
any stock in this international busi-
ness," he added. 81 believe it is all
humbug,"
