Smoke From Forest Fires Hangs Over Lake
Superior-Driving Loggers In.
DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 29.-Word has
been received from Hibbing that very
extensive forest fires were driving into
town the logging and mining operators
near there. A crew Of over 100 men ar
rived there from one logging camp on
the Wright & Davis operations, their
camps having been burned, and as well
over 1900, 900 feet of logs that had been
sHdded and were ready to be hauled to
the river. The fires are burning fercely
in old choppings, and if the winds
should change would do great damage
in timber yet uninjured or to the town.
Hibbing, though village of one year,
has fairly good water system. The
smoke from fires in this vicinity and
Northern Michigan have been so dense
here that fog signals have been blown
continuously for week, and naviga-
ton at this end of Lake Superior is
very much hindered.

CLEvELAND'S LATEST LETTER.
The President Gives Mr.. Catchings Reason
For Not Signing the Tariff Bill.

The President Gives Mr.. Catchings Reasons
For Not Signing the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ~. President
Cleveland has written a letter to Rep
resentative Catchings of Mississippi, in
which he gives his reasons for withhold
ing his signature from the bill. Mr..
Catchings has allowed it to be made
public on account of the public nature
Of the matter discussed.
Mr.. Cleveland disapproves a large
portion of the bill, but still considers it
better tan no legislation at all on the
tariff. In conclusion he says:
The millions of our countrymen who
have fought bravely and well for tariff
reform should be exhorted to continue
the struggle boldly, challenging to open
warfare and constantly guarding
against treachery and half heartedness
in their camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled until
it is honestly and fairly settled in the
interest and to the benefit of patient
and long suffering people.

IT'S A LAW NOW.

Democratic Tariff Bill Goes Into Effect
without Clevelands Approval.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-At midnight
the Mckinley tariff law, which had
been in operation since Oct. 30, 1890,
practically four years, died on the
statute books, and the new Democratic
tariff bill, passed by the Fifty-third
congress, became law without the sig
nature of President Cleveland. The
constitutional period of 10 days allowed
the president to consider the bill ex-
pred with the midnight hour, and,
according to the terms of the constitu-
ton, the president having failed to re-
turn the bill to congress with or with
out his approval, it became law. The
placing of the bill upon the statute
books ended one of the longest and
Most Remarkable Struggles
in the parliamentary history Of the gov
eminent. It was practically year ago
that the compilation Of the new tariff
was commenced. The extraordinary
session of congress was called Aug. Z,
1893, for the purpose of repeating the
Sherman silver purchasing law. Two
weeks later the ways and means COM
mittee of the house, with Mr.. Wilson Of
West Virginia as chairman, was ap-
pointed and almost Immediately the
work of framing the Democratic tariff
reform measure began. Months were
spent in its preparation and it was not
reported until after the holidays during
the regular session beginning in De-
cember. For three weeks it was
Debated in the House,
passing that body Jan. 20 by a vote Of
204 to 24O. Seventeen house Democrats
voted against it. The bill went to the
senate, and after being considered until
March 20, was reported, greatly changed
from the house bill. The debate which
began in the senate April 2 lasted until
July 8 when the bill passed by vote of
80 to "a. The crisis occurred when the
bill reached conference. On Aug. 10
the house yielded and accepted the SEN
ate bill in toto. Two days afterward,
Wednesday, Aug. Is, it went to the
president and at the expiration Of the
constitutional 10 days Sundays not
counted) it became law without Mr..
Cleveland's approval.

Noted Bank Thief. Joe Harris, Collared
| with o., 600, Altar Six Weeks Liberty.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Joe Harris, the
bank thief, whose record extends across
the continent, was arrested on CLARK
street and locked up at the Central
| station. A "friend'' of Joe's was also
taken at the same time, and OH being
searched, the pair had several thousand
dollars in their possession. Harris was
faultlessly attired. On being told that
the chief wanted to see him at head.
quarters, he reluctantly accompanied
the officers to the city hall, where, after
being relieved of his money, he was
taken down stairs. His companion
suffered similar treatment The officials
at the city hall will endeavor to ascer-
tain where the men got so much money.
The money consisted of gold and cur
rency, and the amount approximated
$1,000.
An Artist in His Line.
AS an expert bank robber, Joe Harris
has no equal. He has taken chances
that would make the ordinary bank
crook quail, and, Swing to his nerve, he
is looked upon by the police as dan
gerous man. His home is in this city.
His brother is engaged in the liquor
business, and years ago Joe made the
saloon his headquarters, while not en-
gagged in his own line of business. He
never did any wholesale robbing in Chi
cago, but outside towns were made to
suffer. He first became prominent
when he entered the First National
bank in Detroit and got away with $12,-
600, and for which he served q term in
the penitentiary. Next he held up two
women and relieved them of some
diamonds, serving one year therefor.
Tried Minneapolis.
Chicago was made too warm for him.
He showed a disposition to shoot, SO he
was given "a hours to leave that city.
Minneapolis was the next city that
sheltered Joe. He was not long in the
place before the Bank of Minneapolis
was robbed. About two years ago Har-
ris entered the bank while the cashier
was busy. The catch on the wire door
which separates the vaults from the
street was deftly lifted, and in an in
slant Harris was in the midst of the
banks valuables. He helped himself.
On leaving, however, he was discovered.
Had s15, 900 in His Hands.
He had $15, 900 in his possession, and
he made a desperate effort to escape.
He reached the street and at once dart
ed up hallway. The place was at
once surrounded, and escape without
flying was out of the question. A de-
tective came along and Joe was taken
to the city bastile. The best legal tai
ent in the Northwest was engaged to
defend him, but it was of no avail. He
was sent to the penitentiary at Still
water, and has only been out six weeks.
From the amount of funds in his pos
session it would seem as if he had i'm
proved his time. His companion is not
known to local police. The pair will
remain as prisoners for the present.
