The Fires sttn Turning.

MILWAUKEE, July Ex-Governor Peck
and party returned this morning from
Phillips. The forest fires are still raging
throughout the north central part OF the
State and the towns of Fifeld, Prem
tice, Medford and Chelsea, besides many
w.mill settlements and farming com
munities, are in danger of being wiped
out, should heavy winds come up. When
the Governor passed through Chelsea
the authorities besought aid for the fam
lilies burned out. The Governor said the
unfortunates would be cared for. Fears
are entertained for the safety OF the town
of Morse on the 500 line. II is stated
that half OF it has been wiped out, and
that the rest is threatened with destruc-
ton. The wires on the line are down.

MONTREAL, Que, August 4.-'rhe out
break OF war between Japan and China
has revived interest in the proposed Pa
cifc Ocean cable between Vancouver and
Japan. G. X. Hosmer, General Man
agpr of Telegraphs OF the Canadian Pa
cifc railway, said in an interview to-day
that sufficient progress had been made
financially in 1891 for putting through
this scheme, had the japanese govern
ment given it the assistance that was
expected of them. He believes the
present war will extend to other nations
in the Far East, and that it will result
in the laying OF Pacific cable either to
Japan, China or Australia, as the exist
ing cables pass through so many foreign
countries where serious complications
are likely to arise at any moment. The
distance from Vancouver to Japan is
5000 miles. A cable is estimated to cost
less than $4,000, 900.

1T IS ABOUT ENDED
The Strike Declared Off by the
American Railway Union.
TWO ROADS NOT INCLUDED

The General Strike Committee of the
American Railway Union Has De-
clared 1t or in the City of Chicago
Except as Regards Two Roads.
CH1CAGo, August Sat meeting OF
the general strike committe selected by
the special committee of the American
Railway Union last week, which was held
at Uhlrich's hall this morning, it was
decided to declare the strike off in Chi
cago. This does not include the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois, nor the Atkinson
and Topeka, where the men have voted
to continue the strike to settle local
grievances, and where they think they
have a fair show of winning. There
were twenty-four local unions repre-
scented at the meeting this afternoon,
and each representative had been en-
powered to vote to declare the strike OIL.
The meeting was a secret one, and at
adjournment the only statement given
out was the following:
"By vote of the local unions of the
American Railway Union in Chicago
they have decided that the strike shall
he declared off in the city of Chicago,
with the exception OF local unions on the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the
Atchison and Topeka, where the strike
still remains in full force and effect.
This is effective at 7 o'clock Monday
morning, August 6. The decision does
not apply to the systems outside OF Chi
cago and the Pullman employees will be
expected to settle theirown differences"
Resolutions explaining the reasons for
calling off the strike were adopted. The
example set by the Chicago unions will
be followed Immediately by the unions
| throughout the western country, and by
Wednesday night at the latest the
strike will be declared off all over the
country, except on the two roads named.
Debs left this city tonight for Terre
Haute, and will go from there to New
| York, where he will deliver lecture at

WASHINGTON, August Ex-Governor
Hughes of Arizona, who is here, states
the long-standing friction between the
Navajo Indians and the ranchers and
stockmen is in fair way of settlement.
His efforts to have the San Carlos coal
fields cut off from the White Mountain
Indian reservation will, he believes, re-
suit in the coal fields being segregated
and thrown open to the public for settle
ment and development. All Arizona
Legislatures during the past ten years
by joint resolution and all the Governors
in their annual reports have urged the
segregation of these coal fields, there be-
ing no other coal within 800 miles.

AGAINST THE SOUTHERN Pacific


No Order Issued to Discontinue the Cow
ernmcnt's Suit.
Los ANGELES, August 4,-District At
tornev Denis was asked tonight by
reporter whether or not he had received
instructions from Attorney General Oh
ney to discontinue the suit recently
brought against the Southern Pacific
Company, restraining it from combining
with other companies to the detriment
of interstate commerce. lie positively
refused to say whether or not such in
strnctions had been received, and added;
when instructions to that effect
have been received they will be acted
upon in due course of time"
The District Attorney referred the re-
porter for further information to Attor-
ney-General Olney, who, he claims, is
the only one from whom authentic in
formation can be obtained on the sub
iect at the present time. 1t il believed
that the report that such instructions
were issued is entirely without iounda-
ton.

TO IMPROVE RIVERS.


WASHINGTON, August 2.-Dolph has
had rather hard struggle, but he has
pulled out of the conference committee
with all the Oregon appropriations in
the river and harbor bill. Practically an
agreement to that effect has been
reached, and the agreement will prob
ably be reported tomorrow. The amount
for boat railway at The Dalles has
been reduced to 500, 900, but Dolph says
that will be sufficient to acquire the right
of way and begin the work. The main
thing is to have it started. The other
appropriations for Oregon remain undis-
turbed. Washington is also fortunate.
Every increase made by the Senate re-
mains in the bill, as also does the pro-
vision made for the Lakes Union and
Washington waterway. The Oregon and
Washington delegations are feeling very
jubilant. Oregon has $400, 900 increase,
nearly double the amount in the House
bill, with the entire amount for the
completion of the work at the mouth of
the Columbia. Dolph says boats will be
passing over the dalles of the Columbia
in four years.

cation at an election to be held the Tues

Wellman Continues His Search, Though

CmcAGo, August 4.-The following
special cablegram was received by the
Chicago Herald to-day from Tromsoe,
Norway:
Captain Emil Peterson, Engineer L.
w. Wilship, II. Westfall, mountaineer
and cook and one sailor, all of the Chi
cago Herald polar expedition, which left
this port May / on the steamship Rag
navald-Jarl under command of Walter
Wellman, have arrived here on awhaler.
They bring information of the loss of
the Ragnavald-Jarl May "a. Soon after
leaving Danes Island the boat encoun-
tered a great mass of pack ice, and de-
spite every effort to escape the vessel was
hemmed in and crushed TO pieces. The
crew had time to transfer the greater
portion OF their provisions, scientific in
struments, dogs and aluminium boats to
the ice before the boat was destroyed.
The men who arrived here to-day left
the party after the accident, but Com
mander Wellman and the remainder of
the party, undaunted by the loss of their
vessel, resolutely set out in search of the
pole"
1t is probable another boat will be fit
ted up at once and sent to the rescue of
the party,

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Stockholders of the Pacific Bank Indi-
vidually Responsible.

Vidually Responsible.
SAN Francisco, August 3.-Judge
Trout rendered decision to-day against
r. IL. Mcdonald and other stockholders
OF the Pacific Bank, holding them re-
sponsible for the S52, 400 sued for by Mat
thew MCGOWAN, depositor, MCGOWAN
alleged that he deposited that sum in
the bank before its failure. In answer
to his complaint Mcdonald and others
asserted that they were not liable. The
court in fixing the liability ruled that
according to the constitution of lS49
each stakeholder of a corporation is in
dividualy and personally liable for its
proportion OF the debts and liabilities.
The decision is an important one, as it
means that a large number OF other de-
positors can obtain judgment aga inst
the individal stockholders of the broken
bank. McGowan with his S52, 400 claim
was only one OF many.

CLEVELAND, August 7.-Washington
dispatches to-day note the receipt by
the Japanese Ambassador of document
in which number of young men in this
country had offered to go to Japan and
enlist in the army of the Mikado. Only
a brief note to the effect that the offer
constitutes an oAense against the laws OF
the United States was appended to the
dispatch. 1t now turns out that one OF
the Young men making the offer holds a
commission in National Guard com
panv of this city, and that at least hall
dozen of his comrades are members OF
his company. All the signers OF the OF
fer are residents OF Cleveland, and
among them are several well known in
social circles. 4 half-dozen members OF
a local company went before notary
public a few days ago and procured the
draft of document offering their sery-
ices to Japan. This list was subsequent
" circulated about town, and was read
ily signed by seventy adventurous young
men. When completed it was sent to
the Japanese Ambassador at Washing

THE DEAD or NOTE.
Patti Rosa, the weIl-Known soubrette,

is Gone.
BosroN, August 6.-Patti Rosa, the
well-known soubrette, died to-day. She
was the wife of John w. Dunno. Patti
Rosa had intended to leave for Newport
the last of the week to spend several
weeks before entering on an extensive
tour which had been mapped out for
her. Not being in good health, how
ever, she decided to undergo a medical
examination, and Monday last it was
found that she was suffering from a
severe form OF appendicitis. She was
operated on at st. Francis hospital
Tuesday, from the effects Of which she
died to-day.
Patti Rosa was one of the best-known
condolences. She was of English par
entage and birth, and came to this coun-
try when quite young. Her first Pacific
Coast success was made about twenty
years ago, when with her husband, Rob-
ert Scott, she appeared in comedy
sketches at the Bella Union theater, San
Francisco. She subsequently secured a
divorce from Scott, and shortly afterward
married John w. Dunno, stock actor,
and under his management she starred
for many years. By some competent
critics she was pronounced Lotta's only
rival and legitimate successor, her art
being in the same vein as that which
brought fame and fortune to 1.-The Cali
iornia Diamond" The deceased actress
made her last appearance in Portland,
Or, last March, when she presented
dolly Warden " and couple OF other
comedies specially written for her She
was strong favorite of the Portland
members of the B. p. O. f., who once
presented her with a handsome gold
badge as mark OF appreciation of the
clever way in which she presided at one
of their social sessions. Her home was
in Chicago, and she was reputed to be
quite wealthy.
