The Enormous Losses in and
Around Hinckley, Minn.
A MOST APPALLING DISASTER

No Thought of Property Losses Ihe
Care ofAII Has Been to Heal the sick'
CIothe the Naked and Bury the Dead
Governor Nelson's Proclamation.
ST. PAUL, September 4.-Later details
simply confirm the reports already re-
ceived as to the magnitude OF the Hinck-
ley disaster. The most conservative es-
Inmates of deaths in the six towns OF
Pine county is 1862, and from that the
figures 90 up to 1000. Although the
exact number OF dead will never be
known, enough is known to make this
one Of the most appalling disasters in
American history. More have perished,
but never so many in so terrible man
ner. AS to the property loss-all thoughts
have been of the dead-only few could
be made to talk about their business
losses. 1t is probable that the loss at
and around Hinckley will exceed $2,OOO,-
600, although no careful estimates have
vet been made, nor can they be made
where all papers and records have gone
up in the same flames that SO quickly
devoured all the houses, the vegetation
and almost the land in large section OF
Pine county. The rains to day cleared
the air somewhat from smoke, but they
were not heavy enough to entirely quench
the fires, which would break out on the
slightest provocation if they had aught
to feed on. OF the fires across in Wis
consin less is known here up to mid
night, but there was no loss of life re-
ported, and it is hoped that it is over.
Notwithstanding to-day's shower, how
ever, the ground is dry and parched, and
all vegetation is so dry that it would
ignite easily and burn with terrible
rapidity.

MONTANA SCANDAL.
Mrs. Aaron Hcrshncld Has Brought suit
for Damages.

Mrs. Aaron Hershncld Has brought Suit
for Damages.
CHICAGO, September 5,-The sequel to
n Worlds Fair romance was developed
to-day when word was received here of
suit for 1000 damages filed at Hell
ena, Mont, by Mrs. Aaron llershtield
against the millionaire banker, J. d..
Hershfeld, and his wife of Helena. As
had been stated, Aaron llershheld, the
wealthy brother OF the Montana banker,
captulated to the charms OF Della llo-
gan, beautiful Irish girl OF Helena.
The pair visited the fair together, and
one day last summer Della's two broth
ers called on young Hershfeld at the
Great Northern Hotel, and at the point
of their revolyers, the Hershfclds claim,
compelled him to marry their sister
When the bride and groom returned to
Helena, Banker Hersh6eld and his wife
were Mortified, and at their solicitation,
Della alleges, Aaron went to North Da-
kota and began proceedings for the an
nulment of his marriage. When Mrs.
Aaron heard OF the suit she sought legal
advice, and the $75, 900 damage suit for
alienation of her husbands affections
resulted.

TALK WITH WALKER,
He Says Pearl Harbor is All That Could
be Desired.

NC Dtslfeu.
WASHINGTON, September 4.-Rear-
Admiral Walker is in the city for the
purpose of laying before the Navy De-
partment his information ACQUIRED in
his recent trip to the Hawaiian Islands.
Speaking to-day OF the affairs in the ISL
ands, he said:
" Everything was quiet at Honolulu
when | left there in August, and there
was no prospect of an outbreak. The
new government seems to be firmly es-
tablished and thoroughly competent 10
take care of itself, unless there is inter.
ference from the outside. Pearl Harbor.
where it is proposed to establish a United
States coaling station, is beauty. Itis
one OF the finest harbors in the world
and is large enough to accommodate ali
the ships ahoat. All it wants is the re.
moval OF little bar at its entrance.
This bar is all sand, and can be easily
taken out in reasonable time and Mt
small expense. 1t was thoroughly sur-
veyed while was there by Max Wood
one OF our officers"
How about annexation?n
"Oh, | can't say anything on that
subject, except the sentiment among the
people for annexation to the United
States still appears very strong. BY the
way, Honolulu is a most charming place.
and | had most delightful experience
there"

BoSroN, September 4.-Mrs. jackson.
better known as Marion Manola, is in
sane. Way up North Conway, far from
the scenes of her triumphs, the charming
singer is confined bereft of her reason.
Her condition is such that constant
watch must be kept. Marion remembers
nothing of her past stage life. She
speaks very little, but that little, per-
haps, gives a clew as to the cause OF her
present unfortunate condition. She is
always fearful of arrest. Without doubt
the reyerses that have befallen her hus-
band and herself within the past few
months must answer for her present
mental condition.

THE CHINESE TREATY.
No Further Action Taken by China on
Account of the War.

No Further Action Taken by China on
Account of the War.
WASHINGTON, September 7.-Before
Secretary Gresham left for the West he
had conference with the Chinese Min
lister concerning the Chinese treaty,
which was ratified by the Senate short
time before adjournment. Minister Yang
lui told Secretary Gresham that, owing
to the war, no action has been taken by
the Chinese government. China has
been officially notified by the State De-
partment OF the ratification of the treaty
on the part OF the United States, and as
soon as the treaty is ratified by China
and official notice given the United
states ratifications will be exchanged by
the two governments and proclamations
Issued. No action will be taken by the
United States looking to the enforcement
OF the treaty until President Cleveland
issues the proclamation. Then the Sec
retary OF the Treasury will issue instruc-
tons to Collectors of Customs in accord
ance with the treaty. Secretary Gresham
and the Chinese Minister discussed the
present permits OF the treaty, and the
Minister was assured as soon as the ac'
tlon OF his government was officially re.
celyed the United States would proceed
with Its part of the contract.

Six towns wiped out and more than
800 dead is the record made by the forest
fires in this State in the past twenty
four hours. In Hinckley, Sandstone,
Pokegama, Sandstone Junction, Skunk
Lake and Mission Creek there are 355
known dead. In addition several hum
dred are missing, while from 150 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 es-
capped. The loss, however, will be in
the millions, and the loss of life will not
be definitely known for several days, il
ever. The relief trains brought supplies
sent out from st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and other towns, and the suffer-
ers are being cared for at this and other
points.
The town of Hinckley, Mimi, about
half way between this city and Duluth,
has been wiped out by forest fires, and
the list Of the dead may reach 1000. 1t
will certainly exceed 200, and reports now
being received would indicate that the
larger figure may not be too great. On
Lhe train to-day from there there were
one or two people who came through the
fires and who have graphic stories to re-
late of the scene. The train from Du-
luth reached point mile and hall
north of Hinckley some time after mid
night, and was forced to return TO a
point five miles away on account OF the
threatening flames. Half dozen pas
hn,ra,yae gnn,rnI n hn, ,I- Il
rode through the flames to Hinckley,
there and returning to this city. On
their ride on the hand-car they encoun-
tered twenty-seven dead bodies along
the line of the road. Seventeen were
discovered at Hinckley during the morn
ing, and twenty-one others had been
found up to l o'clock. They say the
people Of IIinckley ran into the woods
when their homes caught fire, and as the
timber afteward burned, it is probable
that great numbers perished. The most
conservative estimate of the dead is 200.
The whole country around Hinckley is
on fire, and the fullest extent of the
disaster cannot be learned for day or
two.
1t is feared several other towns have
suffered like fate. Miica called for
help yesterday, and the relief train from
st. Cloud was unable to go beyond
Bridgeman. Nothing further has yet
been received from Milica, and how
much has been the suffering cannot at
this time be known. Bridgeman was
apparently safe after hard fight. The
flames, however, were very threatening
around that town, and as it is very dry
all over that part OF the State, the worst
Is feared. Those who came through the
fires around Hinckley on the hand car

INTENTIONS OF CHINA
The War Party Said to Have Gained thu
Upper Hand.

upper hhnus
LONDON, September 1.-THE Standards
correspondent in Belin telegraphs that
the war party, of which Prince Tching is
at the head, has the upper hand in
China, which meant the struggle will be
prosecuted vigorously. A large army is
gathering near Peking. Half of this
army will guard the capital, and the
other half march to Corea before winter.
Owing to the freezing Of the gulf OF Pre-
hill the japanese will then not derive so
much benefit from their navy as they
have heretofore, and will be doomed
more or less to inaction. The CORE
spondent states the rumors of negoti-
ations between the United States, Great
Britain, Germany and Russia for hold
ing a conference to pave the way for
peace is denied.
FORCED LOAN ORDERED.
LONDON, September A dispatch
from Shanghai says: "An imperial de-
cree has been issued at Peking ordering
a forced loan. 1t calls upon four native
banks to loan the government, if pos
sible, 100000 taels.
HEAVY ORDER FOR GUNS.
BERLIN, September 4.-Prince Yama-
shino, the nephew of the Emperor OF
Japan, visited the Krupps in Essen on
Wednesday, and yesterday he sent them
a heavy order for guns. He says that
Japan has ample funds in her treasury
and does not need foreign money. She
is able to carry the war to its conclusion
and demonstrate the rottenness of the
Chinese Empire without borrowing a
copper from anybody. The Prince and
his suite will be entertained by the
Krupps for several days.
THE DEFENsEs TOO STRONG.
LONDON, September A special to
the Times from Shanghai states that the
Chinese report that Thursday last the
japanese troops made reconnaissance
in force on Port Arthur. They found
the landward defenses too strong, and
retired without making an attack.
SIMPLY TO PROTECT RUSSIAN TRADE.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 4.-The
| Russian squadron destined for Corea is
under orders to proceed with the utmost
expedition. 1t is officially stated that
the dispatch OF the feet does not imply
Russian military intervention in Chi
nese-Japanese disputes, but is merely
intended to protect Russian trade.
TALKED FREELY OF THE WAR.
CHICAGO, September Al. Miyayawa
Of Toxic, the Japanese Consul at Lyons,
France, passed through the city to-day
on his way to his foreign post. He was
formerly Consul at Hong Kong, and was
transferred last November. He was seen
at the Grand Pacific to-day, and talked
freely on the war which Japan is waging
with China. He said:
am surprised that American news
papers seem to know SO little about the
relations between Japan and China. 1t
appears to be thought that Corea is par
tial to China, while, in fact, our rela-
tions with Corea are most friendly.
When our troops occupied the Corean
capital, request was made by our gov
ernment that reforms be instituted in
Corea. The King of Corea consented to
this, and appointed commissioners, who
are now at work The internal govern
ment, which was very corrupt, will be
changed and the methods of taxation
altered"

THREATENED UPRISING.
Indians in Northwest Territory Prepar-
ing for an Outbreak.

Indians IN NOfIHNesb ASiii'"'S
ing for an Outbreak.
BATrLEFoRD, N. W. T., September o.
We are threatened with an Indian up
rising. Saturday a settler named Day
brought word that the Indians around
Jackfsh Lake had risen and seized all
the guns and ammunition and horses
belonging to settlers in the neighbor-
hood. tits said Gabriel Dumont is there
and is melting the Indians to make
trouble. That story, however, is not
sustained by any evidence, and may
have no foundation in fact. Thirty OF
the mounted police went out there late
Saturday night, and nothing has been
heard as to their movements since theiI
departure. Much anxiety is felt. The
Indians are non-treaty Indians, and be-
long to the Sotos. All the white women
have been removed to one large house,
which is in itself sign of danger. Six
of the young Indians in the Industrial
School ran away two DAYS ago, and are
supposed to have joined their brethren
who are threatening trouble.

CROPS IN THE POTLATCH.
Wheat, Flax and Fruit Yield Astonish-
Ing Returns.


KENDRICK, Idaho, September 3.-The
farmers OF the Potlatch country are in
the midst of their harvest. Fully hall
the grain is cut, and the yield for what
has been threshed is above the average.
w. p. Edmonson of Big Potlatch ridge
cut fifty acres with an average OF sixty
bushels per acre. Another man went
above the standard by an average OF
lorty-seven bushels per acre, though it
is apparent that thirty bushels per acre
would be fair average estimate. There
is more flax sowed this year than usual,
all contracted at 81 per bushel. There
will be shipped $4,000 bushels from this
place in the near future. Should the
price of wheat rise to 81 cents, the Pot
latch country would be in fine condition
after disposing of the surplus product.
There is no doubt but that with the
opening of the Indian reservation there
will be an influx OF men and money that
will materially alter the phase of fl
nancial matters in this region. Great
dependence has been put upon the fruit
crop this year, and so far the yield and
sale have been very large. The varieties
which are yet to market are Of more
substantial and staple character, and no
doubt will add greatly to the resources
OF the country,

WASHINGTON, September 5.-To.day a

National Wholesale Druggists Associ-
alton had conference with Secretary
Carlisle and Commissioner Miller of the
internal revenue bureau on the free
alcohol section of the new tariff bill.
Secretary Carlisle explained the dilemma
in which he and Mr.. Miller found them
selves. The law is u mere skeleton with
out money or machinery to put it into
operation. Altogether he could not see
how it was possible to enforce the law.

Contemporary Review concerning labor

man can live for less in America, if he
chooses, than in Great Britain, provided
he will live as frugally. Consequently
Carnegie thinks the argument that
wages must be higher in America is fall
lacious. A pound judiciously expended
in America on necessities of life would
afford workingman's family more COM
forts than would the same amount spent
here. The American workingman's posi-
ton was like that of the old Scotch

sCorCH COAL MINERS.
Ballot Shows Them In Favor of Accept

GLASGOW, September S.-The result oI
a ballot among the Scotch coal miners
on the questions involved in the present
strike was announced to-day. The bal
loting shows 25,4l7 miners in favor OF
the proposal OF the Miners Federation
TO accept sixpence reduction, with guar
anteed wages on that basis for two
years, and 20,942 in favor of insisting
upon shilling advance in wages. The
mine owners declare that the balloting,
which shows majority in favor OF ac-
cepting a reduction OF sixpence, does
not by any means put an end to the
strike. for the reason that it will be inn
possible for them to guarantee even a
minimum rate of wages for period of
two years. The owners assert that this
cannot be done, inasmuch as most of
their annual contracts have been can
Celed by their subscribers.
