Forest Fires.


Forest fires in northwestern Wiscon-
sin have been intermittent for two
months, and the aggregate loss is not
less than 100000 among the pine
land owners and sawmill men, besides
heavy losses to individuals. Vesper,
in Wood county, was completely burn
ed out on Wednesday, and 90 families
are reported homeless. At Mason City,
citizens are exhausted by continuously
fighting fire, and little is left in the vii.
lage. AT Lafayette, forest fires have
devastated the homes of six farmers.
Fire has burned out Phillips, which
was almost destroyed in the last fire.
Fire is burning at Silver Spring Park,
four miles distant from that city, and
the plant of the Chippewa Spring Wa
ter Company, large concern that ships
to all parts of the country, is in danger.
Fires are booming along the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, be-
tween Chippewa Falls and Spooner, for
200 miles, and every town is suffering
to greater or less degree.
Bush fires are burning in every coun-
ty of the upper peninsula of Michigan.
There is little wind, and the smoke set
ties at night, in dense pail over the
cities and villages, being at times so
dense that an arc lights invisible $50
feet distant, and nothing can be seen
across the street. The Diamond Match
Company has been the heaviest loser by
fire. OF the $50, 100000 to 800, 600, 900
feet of standing pine burned in Ontona-
gon county, this company has lost over
OO,0OO,000. Stevens Station, a small
mill hamlet in Michigan, has been prac-
tically destroyed by fires which have
been raging tor the past ten days. A
train which ran through the place was
set on fire.
A large tract of valuable timber To-
Gated between jacksonville and West
Line, Pa, is being swept by a forest
fire, and several smaller fires are raging
between that city and Kinseau. In the
valley between Corwin and Rev CITY a
fire is burning. It is reported that a
large area of timber and logs between
State Line, on the Orlean, and Warren
is burning 6ercely. The damage to
lumbermen will be large.

A GLAD AND GORGEOUS YAwN.

A Brooklyn woman yesterday disio-
Gated her jaw with yawn, She Is thirty
eight years old. and has been using the
Jaw all that time, and probably knows
how TO reef, tack and steer 1t as well
as any woman in the land knows how
to manage her maxillary" process. But
she gave It little too much leeway
yesterday morning in relieving her tired
feeling. and when she tried to luff II
up against the wind It wouldn't lun. so
she had to go to the hospital and let the
doctors tackle IT.
We don't think this woman needs any
body's sympathy. Most people who read
about her Notwithstanding achievement
will wish they were in her place. This
weather distributes a lot OF wearines,
through the human system. and the mar
or woman who can yawn 1t of with
gusto and delight Is to be envled. Their
are many OF us yawning these days anC
nights. but We don't seem to be able Il
dislocate our jaws and let on enough O.
our tired feeling. II -.. IT,.

Rad FOR DOCKMAsTERs.

Among the developments OF the Lexow
Committees inquiry has been the fact
that steamship companies and merchants
have been in the habit Of paying bribe
to dockmasters for the privilege Of get
ting their ships locked promptly and at
desirable docks.
Mr.. McLar an. OF the Arm Of Carter.
Macy & Co.. gave testimony before the
Committee which clearly established
this ofrense against certain dockmasters.
But when called before the Dock Board.
the witness refused to repeat his EVIL
dence.
Yesterday Mayor Gilroy sent for Mr..
McLaren and made It clear to him that
he would be compelled to testify under
oath In the Grand Jury room. CT before
the Commissioners OF Accounts. who
would be directed 10 make an investiga-
ton, and are empowered by law to
sw ear witnesses. The Lexow Committee
and it's counsel had protested against
any proceedings being taken against
persons accused before the Committee
until the Inquiry was ended, as calcu'
lated to enbarass Mr.. Cons efforts
But In the case Of matchmaking or dis
honest dockmasters there could be nc
such objection. and they ought to bt
dismissed at once.
Mr.. McLaren became convinced by the
| Mayors argument, and is to testify be
| fore the Dock Board to-day. Mr.. Croker
had better hurry home.

William Bishop, the steeplechase

tional Steeplechase at Sheepshead Bay
on Saturday, and was thrown, receiv-
ing injuries which caused his death at
II o'clock last night

Something caused the horse to bolt and
he left the course, crashed through the
rail and fell on the dirt track with
Bishop beneath him.
At the time 1t was believed that Bishop
had not been severely hurt, but 1t was
| developed later that he had received in
ternal injuries.
Bishop was twenty-three years old and
| lived In Twenty-eighth street near
Jerome avenue Gravesend. He was en-
| ployed by ex-Mayor Nolan, of Albany,
who raced under the name Of the Bever-
wyck Stable.
The steeplechase in which Bishop re-
ceived his death wounds was the first
OF the series which the Coney Island
Jockey Club inaugurated this season.

THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.

NJ. Casimir-Perier was yesterday
elected President of the French Repub-
lie as the successor OF the lamented
Carnot. The vote in the Electoral Con-
gress was sufficiently decisive to indi-
cate that the new President was clearly
the peoples choice, and to promise
strength and influence to the new Ad-
ministration. The vote cast was 45l for
NJ. Casimir-Perier to 19l for the next
highest candidate. NJ Brisson, being a
plurality OF PIT and n majority of 43 Of
the total vote. NJ. Dupuy, who showed
such GOODNESS and courage when the
bomb exploded in the Chamber. received
only 80 votes.
The result OF the election was no doubt
due to the circumstances under which
II was held. The new President was the
one above all others to whom the peo-
pie looked for a firm and determined
policy against Anarchism. and the best
proof OF the wisdom OF the choice Is the
anger and in some degrees the dismay
OF the Socialists at the result OF the
election.
The effect will be to give confidence
to the people and to quiet the apprehen-
| sions OF the timid who look for further
trouble. There will be excitement and
talk and threats and some disturbance
| no doubt. But the measures Of the
confidence in the stability OF the Re-
public will be confirmed. and law and
order will be upheld with a firmer hand.

AN ANGRY TRAVELLER.

Mr.. Richard Croker is irritable and
offensive now that he Is about to take
ship on his return to New York. 1t may
be that he is displeased Mt the failure Of
the Lexow Committee to get out Of the
way a. once and leave him free from the
fear Of a subpoena. But whatever the
cause. the old leader seems to be as
ready for a fight as he was years ago.
and yesterday he exercised his quarrel
some propensities on an innocent Irish
reporter. who mounted to the top OF the
coach and took seat by his side on
the trip from Killarney to Queenstown
What is the trouble? What is going
wrong? Is Mr.. Croker really annoyed
at the failure OF the Lexow Commit
tee to get out Of the way in time for
him to make sure of the fact before he
embarks? Has he learned from home
that It is Mayor Gilroy's intention to
push right ahead with his Tammany
reorganization despite the ex-leader's
return? Something must have put him
out OF temper. and certainly no one has
yet succeeded in squeezing out OF hin
the desired information where he got II
and where did It all come from.

THE LExowITEs AT WORK.

No great progress was made by the
Lexow Committee yesterday. the evil
dence being cumulative and no new fea-
lures being developed and no star"
witnesses, as Mr.. Goff calls them. being
called.
But there was small breeze in the
Committee room growing out OF the
questioning OF a witness who was said
to have lost a position in consequence
OF having incurred the enmity Of Tam
many politicians. This. Mr.. Cantor In
sisted. had no connection with police
corruption or any other official NAL
feasance In the government and was
simply running the investigation into
a political crusade against Tammany.
Mr.. Con Indignantly repudiated the
charge that politics had any part In
the investigation, and charged that
Tammany had entire control OF the ad-
ministration OF criminal law in the city
and hundreds OF persons who had beer
subjected to oppression. extortion and
blackmail hesitated to seek justice or
that account. Mr.. Con had himself
lost clients through the enmity OF Tam
many politicians because of the part hi
had taken In this prosecution.

that they had been systematically black
