DOWN A RIVER OF FIRE
A PeriIOus Voyage Through
Burning Forests.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY IN FLAMES
A VOlIey of Bullets for a Wife Muir
derer--Hanged for a Murder
Committed While Drunk.

MINNEAPoLIs, Sept. 14.-Kirby Bar
mum, who owns farm near the western
border of Great Red lake Indian reser-
walton, in the northern part of the state,
has just returned from perilous trip
down Thief river, which skirts that res
ervation on the west. The trip was
made on a small passenger steamer
that plies between the Indian agency
and Red river falls, distance of 120
miles. Fully half the trip was made
between walls Of fire. Barnum says the
flames jumped Thief river, and cut
swath through the dense forest fully
sixty miles wide. The whole country is
aflame. The steamer was forced to go
three and four miles at time, and then
everybody would get off and stand IN
the water until the fire and heat abated
somewhat. Several time the boat was
afire. The water in the river has been
raised to such temperature by the fire
its surface is covered with millions of
dead fish. Bear, deer and other large
game were fleeing from the flames in
great confusion. Many small canoe par
ties of Indians were encountered making
their way down the stream as best they
could. There has probably been loss of
life among them. Barnum says the
fire originated in blaze set by a man
who tried to get control of some hay
land from the government, but failed,
and hired two men to fire it. The
flames soon spread to the forest, and
have been burning ever since.

Much Alarm Is Felt.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 14.-The great
est alarm has been caused by the report
from both the Owens and Breckenridge
headquarters that hundreds of men Sc
cretely armed will be at each polling
place in this city tomorrow, for the pur-
pose of protecting their respective chal-
lengers. It is announced that every
voter whose afiliation with the dem
ocratic party is not well established, or
who refuses to pledge his support to the
nominee will be denied his ballot by the
Breckenridge election officers. To over
come the loss from this bold move, the
Owens organizers declare their intention
to challenge every Breckinridge man
who approaches the poll and thus, by
delaying the election force their op-
ponents to be fair. The result of these
counter purposes will be to cause the
most dangerous confusion tomorrow,
and there are the gravest fears of riots
in Lexington. The mayor today, by
proclamation, commanded all saloons
to remain closed during the progress of
the primaries, and an extra force of
police will be on duty at every point
where trouble is expected.

The Behring Sea Patrol.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.-Tieutenant-
Commander Morton, of the United
States steamer Adams, which has arrived
from Behring sea, in an interview states
that the balance of the patrol feet may
be expected here very shortly. The
Yorktown, which left Sitka on Augusta
for Unalaska, is due here in about two
weeks, and the Ranger may be expected
in, month or SO. The extent of the
damage to the keel timber of the Adams
through their contact with the rocks
will not be known for some little time,
as it will be about a month before she
can obtain her turn in the drydock ,other
vessels being ahead of her.

Trial of Mrs. Hartley.

RENO, New, Sept. 14.-At IL 80 and
shortly after Woodburn completed a
rigid cross-examination. Mrs. Hartley
rose from her chair trembling, turned
pale and rushed from the courtroom
crying and sobbing. The sheriff escort
ed her to an adjoining room, where she
fell on the floor frothing at the mouth.
A recess was then taken till 1 80. The
morning session was devoted by the
states attorney to reviewing the testi-
mony already reported in an endeavor
to shatter her testimony on direct exam
ination, which they failed to do, and
Woodburn with deep-drawn sigh said,
"That's all" Her lawyer, Goodwin,
then brought forward chair for her to
identify, which she said Foley raised
over her head and threatened her with.
1t was at this point that Mrs. Hartley
began to sob and rushed from the court
room. Her hysterical sobs could be
plainly heard in the courtroom,

doubt the Japanese forces operating
against the Chinese are likely to be
hemmed in. Dispatches from Fusan
bring additional confirmation of reports
that the whole of Southern Corea has
risen against the Japanese. It also
seems confirmed that Japanese force of
1000, who attempted to march from
Fusan to Seoul, met with disaster SER
ious enough to compel them to return to
the former place, with 1890 of their
number missing. A force of 1000 fresh
troops have arrived at Fusan, to protect
the Japanese settlement against the an
ticipated attack by Tonghaks, gathering
in the neighborhood.
General Liu Yung Flu, q prominent
Black Flag chief of Anral, has received
orders from the throne to depart as soon
as possible fot Formosa, where he is to
act as assistant imperial highway COM
missioner. General Liu Yung Flu, at
the end of August, attempted to trans
port 500 soldiers from Swatow to For
mosa, but, hearing rumors a Japanese
squadron vas cruising in the vicinity of
Formosa, the captain of the steamer en-
gagged to transport the Chinese troops
would not put to sea, in spite of the en-
treaties and threats of the Black Flag
general. Nothing daunted, General Liu
Yung Flu succeeded in smuggling the
men into the island in small parties. A
transport steamer was afterwards over
hauled by three Japanese cruisers, who
sent armed men to board her. The
Japanese officers examined the ships
papers and searched the steamer, evil
IDENTIFY having received information that
General Liu Tung Flu was likely to be on
board.
A disastrous fire occurred at Chung
King the evening of August %. The
confagration is said to have ragged all
night. Before midnight the whole
southeastern portion of the city was in
flames. About 80 persons are known to
have perished, and it is probable the
actual loss of life was greater. It is
roughly estimated the loss by fire will
amount to fully Ii, 100000 taels. About
1000 buildings were destroyed. No
foreign houses were burned.

JAPANESE WAR STORY.
How a Midnight Attack on Wei-Hai-
Wei Was Frustrated.

VOL w dS
NEW York, Sept. 14.-The following
remarkable message in the original has
been translated by Japanese gentle
man in New York. 1t was sent by
Japanese special correspondent serving
with the fleet in the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li
to the newspaper in Japan which he
represents, and the name of which is for
obvious reasons withheld. The Japan
ese government, however, which exer-
cises a strict censorship over all news re-
lating to the war, prohibited its publica-
ton. 1t is dated ''With the Japanese
fleet before Wei-Hai-Wei, Gulf of Pc
Chilli, August 12":
cat IL O'Clock yesterday morning,
August Ii, our feet, consisting of II
men-of-war and feet of six torpedo
boats, took advantage of the darkness of
the night and crept into the harbor at
Wei-Hai-Wei unknown to the Chinese
in the forts and vessels. Six torpedo
boats were sent out with the purpose of
blowing up the Chinese warships an
chored within. The feet was proceed
ing in the wrong direction, and then,
discovering their mistake, they turned
back, changed their course, and made
straight to the place where the Chinese
lay in safety. When midway, British
man-of-war, which was anchored there,
fred salute for the Japanese vessels,
very unusual thing to do in such circum-
stances. Upon this all the electric aud
searchlights at the forts were lighted in
an instant, and soon all the forts were in
activity. An exchange of shots for over
an hour followed. Seeing that the plan
to take the Chinese by surprise had
fallen through on account of the salute
from the British, and further firing be-
ing of no avail, the Japanese retired.
AS the torpedo fotilla was returning,
Chinese torpedo boat discharged a tor
pedo against it, but failed to do any
damage, and for its trouble was instantly
rewarded by being sunk by torpedo
discharged from one of the Japanese
boats. The salutes from the British
vessels cannot but be regarded as a
signal to make the slumbering Chinese
know of the presence of the Japanese, as
it is not customary to fire salutes at the
dead of night"

morning, no attempt at fire having been
made during the night. The feeling of
security is restored, and business traffic

started during the past 80 hours, $4,000
