MIssISsIPPI's WARRANTS,
The Officers of the Bank Note Company
to be Arrested.


to be Arrested.
WASHINGTON, September 6. - Chief
Hazen of the treasury secret service re-
ceived telegram to-day announcing the
arrest in St. Louis, Mo-, this morning of
Secretary Smith of the St. Louis Bank
Note Company. This company, it will
be remembered, printed and engraved
the S. and 500 warrants of Mississippi,
which bore a striking resemblance to
United States money. The President of
the company will be arrested when he
returns to st. Louis, and Agent Holmes
of the company, who is in charge of the
Chicago branch, will also be looked after.
In the meantime the United States Dis
trict Attorney at Jackson, Miss, is pre-
pairing case against the State, Gov
ernor Stone and others in the same case.
The Mississippi officials refused to call
in the warrants, but the fact that they
have been declared illegal by the general
government has, it is said, had the effect
of destroying public confidence in them
as money, and the banks refuse longer
to take them.

The War Party Said to Have Gained the
Upper Hand.

upper H8n0.
LONDON, September 4.-The Standards
correspondent in Belin telegraphs that
the war party, of which Prince Tching ID
at the head, has the upper hand in
China, which meant the struggle will be
prosecuted vigorously. A large army il
gathering near Peking. Half of this
army will guard the capital, and tho
other half march to Corea before winter.
Owing to the freezing of the gulf of Pre-
hill the Japanese will then not derive go
much benefit from their navy as they
have heretofore, and will be doomed
more or less to inaction. The corre-
spondent states the rumors of negoti.
atoms between the United States, Great
Britain, Germany and Russia for hold
ing 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 Picking ordering
forced loan. 1t calls upon four native
banks to loan the government, if pos
sible, 10000, 900 taels.
HEAVY ORDER FOR GUNS.
BERLIN, September 4.-Prince Yama-
shine, the nephew of the Emperor of
Japan, visited the Krupps in Essen on
Wednesday, and yesterday he sent them
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 q
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.

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:
81 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-
tons with Corea are most friendly.
When our troops occupied the Corean
capital, a request was made by our gov
eminent 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"

HORRORS OF THE FIRE
The Most Appalling Disaster
in American History.

No Thought Of Property Losses - The
Care Of All Has Been to cal the Sick,
Clothe the Naked and Bury the Dead
-Governor Nelson's Proclamation.
ST. PAUL, September 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 q
Pine county is 1862, and from that the
figures 60 up to 1000. Although the
exact number of dead will never b
known, enough is known to make this
one of the most appalling disasters in
American history. More have persisted,
but never so many in 90 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. It is probable that the loss at
and around Hinckley will exceed $2,0OO,-
600, although no careful estimates have
yet been made, nor can they be made
where all papers and records have gone
up in the same flames that 90 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.
GOVERNOR NELSON'S PROCL' NATION.
ST. PAUL, September 4.-Governor
Nelson tonight issued the following
proclamation
Information of an official character
has reached me that the villages of
Hinckley, Sandstone, Mission Greek and
the neighboring towns and farms have
been destroyed by fires; that hundreds
of lives have been sacrificed, and suffer-
ing and restitution are on every hand;
that the survivors of this terrible devas-
tation are in immediate need of food,
clothing, shelter and everything that
makes existence possible. This appall-
ing disaster appeals to every heart of
generous impulses, and the case is one
that demands response from every good
citizen of this State. Now, therefore, /,
Knute Nelson, Governor of the State, in
view of this awful calamity which has
befallen our country and by virtue of the
authority in me vested, do hereby appeal
to all liberal and public-spirited citizens,
to all municipalities and to all religious
and benevolent institutions of this State
to take immediate action toward secur-
ing contributions to relieve the prevail
ing distress. I hereby appoint the fol-
lowing State commission authorized to
receive contributions of money and sup
plies and to expend and disburse the
same: G. A. Pillsbury of Minneapolis,
Kenneth Clark of St. Paul, Matthew j.
Morton of Winona, Hastings Hart of st.
Paul and q Duluth man yet to be
named"

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.

The German Press Demands That They
be Strengthened Out.
BERLIN, September 4.-The German
press in commenting on Samoan affairs
emphatically demands that an end be
put to the intolerable situation there.
The papers declare that the tripartite
agreement of the government OF the
islands is the root of the evil and should
be repealed. The Vossische Zeitung sug-
gests that Germany summon confer
ence in Berlin for the purpose OF en-
deavoring to solve the question. At the
same time it is added Germany does not
intend to relax her claims or to agree to
the proposal made by New Zealand that
the administration of the government OF
the islands be submitted to that colony.

alcohol section of the new tariff bill.
Secretary Carlisle explained the dilemma
in which he and Mr.. Miller found them
selves. The law is 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.
