DESTRUCTIVE WIND.
Little Rock Almost Devastated
by a Terrible Cy-
clone.
TOTAL PROPERTY L0SsS5o0 900
Many Buildings Unroofed and
Stocks Destroyed by
Water.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. "A ter
rible cyclone struck this city at 7:S0 p.
m. and almost devastated the business
portion of the city. Several people are
known to have been killed and injured,
while it is feared scores of others have
met the same horrible fate. The main
portion of the business center is prac-
tically in ruins and the amount Of
damage is incalculable. The total
property loss will probably approximate
$50O.000. The cyclone was accom-
panied by terrible storm and the
stocks Of goods in those business houses
which were unroofed, though not 9TH
erwise wrecked, were destroyed by
water. The storm struck the state pen
itentiary, which stands on hill in the
western part of the city, with fearful
force, destroying the diningroom, tear
ing down the stable and shops, unroof-
ing the main cell building and demol-
ishing the warden's office. Several
convicts were seriously injured, one of
whom
Died an Hour Afterwards.
Down town the lightning struck the
Martin block, corner of Spring and Sec
ond streets, totally wrecking the third
floor. A man by the name of Eaton
was fatally injured there. The TILES
building was unroofed and part Of
the fourth floor of G.eason's hotel was
blown away. The worst damage, how
ever, was done to property on Mark
ham and Commerce streets. Nearly
every building in that district is un-
rooted and many are totally wrecked.
The large 3-story building at Market
and Cumberland, occupied by the B. H.
Mccarthy company, is total wreck, as
is also the l-story building on the op-
posite corner, occupied by Max Elka1rs
as a saloon. The third story of the old
Deming House was blown off and the
several stores under it were flooded by
water and filled with debris.
The streets are filled with tin roofs,
electric wires and other wreckage and
it will be several days before the
Extent of the Damage
can be accurately known. The large
cotton warehouse situated at Second
and Scott, owned by J. H. Bacum, was
wrecked. It fell on the Western Union
telegraph office, next door, and wrecked
it, thus cutting off all telegraphic COM
paunication with outside points. The
city is in the densest darkness and the
streets are veritable stream Of mud.
Rescuing parties are busy searching for
the wounded, but list Of the casual
ties is utterly unobtainable. All kinds
Of rumors are afloat, one to the effect
that the insane asylum, in which some
600 patients are confined, has been
blown down and many patients in
jured, but the asylum is situated mile
from the city, and the rumor cannot be
confirmed. A number Of escaped luna
tics have been captured near the Union
depot and this fact gives color to the

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Extensive Warlike Preparations Under
Way in Great Britain's Army
and Navy.
CABINET MEETING CALLED.
English Papers Express the Opinion
That Trouble With France is
Imminent.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The secretary of
state for foreign affairs, the Earl Of
Kimberly, has been in communication
with the Indian government, and prep
arations are being made to concentrate
English and Indian troops in readiness
to proceed further east. It is added
that the sanction of the cabinet is nee
essary before any further steps are pos
sible.
A dispatch received here from Ports
mouth says that rumors are circulated
there in regard to extensive naval prep
arations. The various heads of the de-
partments at the dock yard had con-
ference at which the opinion of the
officers was taken in regard to the time
the first division of the reserve ships
could be in readiness to put to sea.
The dispatch adds that the training
squadron's departure for the West
Indies has peen postponed from Satur-
day next to Wednesday, and if neces-
sary, the cruise Of this squadron will be
abandoned and the men Oh board the
training ships will be transferred to
ships which will shortly be commits
stoned.

YEAR
NORTHWESTERN WHEAT.
Probable That the \ ield viii Be Larger
5S5f Than Last Year.

Probable That the ield Will Be Larger
5 Than Last Year.
MNNEAPoLIs, Oct. 4-The Journal
says: When the government report of
crop conditions allowed yield of wheat
In the three Northwestern spring wheat
states equal to the yield Of a year ago,
it is pretty good evidence that the yield
this year is larger than year ago. The
September report Of the agricultural
department makes the condition Of
wheat in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota this year at 100 points against
1913 points last year, or a loss of 8points
on this crop, difference that is equal
lied by allowing for smaller acreage
In South Dakota as against the other
two states, which the report does not
concede.
The results show that the government
report Of condition last year was too
low and the same is true this year. It
seems reasonable that if the govern
ment is willing to concede crop in the
Northwest equal to that Of last year, it
can be expected that the yield is con-
siderably larger than last year, which
would make The Journals estimate of
125, ,000,00O very near the mark The
farmers themselves concede yield
equal to last year, or about 115,O0O, 900.
And farmers seldom overestimate. The
marketing and feeding reports will tell
the story later on,

at least one-seventh Of the land is held
by British capital But the French en-
bassy in London recently answered a
communication from the Madagascar
consul in London by a formal statement
that officially there is no longer such
person as London Madagascar consul,
as, it was added, the agents of France
in various countries represent the Hovas
government.
France Decides on Determined Action.
Early last month the French govern
ment evidently determined upon taking
decided action in regard to Madagascar,
probably relieving that the hands Of
England were tied by the complications
brought about through the war between
China and Japan. Consequently, M.
LIE Mvre de VilIers was sent on snaoiol
mission to Madagascar, and it was un-
derstood he was to all intents and pur-
poses, instructed to demand the abdica-
tion Of the government and to annex
the islands to France.
The following statement was made
regarding the mission of M. LIE Myre
de Villers, recently:
What France Demands.
"He will first demand revision of
the treaty of 1885 and will then ask
that the territory of France at Diego
Suarez be extended to Pussandame
bay, on the western side Of Madagas-
,ar, and to VohemAr bay on the east
side of the island, and that Majunga
and Nossi Beh on the west coast. and
Fort Dauphin, Tamataye, Manaboudre
and Andovoran on the eastern shores
with their adjacent territories, be ceded
to France. Finally, he was instructed
to demand that the French residents
shall have the right to control all the
actions Of the government of Madagas
car including it's foreign policy"

Plans For Preventing Fires.
A valuable paper was read by J. O.
Barrett of the Minnesota Forest, asso.
citation, in which he outlined plans for
preventing fires, and said that forests
should be guarded by state commissions,
placed under bond for the protection of
forests against fires and that sheriffs
and supervisors should be required to
cooperate.
Mr.. Barrett explained the provisions
of proposed law that will come before
the next Minnesota legislature. 1t pro-
vides Tor state fire commissioners. re-
qulres the cooperation OF sherifs and
supervisors, provides funds for fighting
fires and for indemnity to property own
ers for loss by fire, places due responsi.

To Dispose of All Rubbish
every year, directs that campers or tour
lists must clear a 2O-fOot circle before
starting fire, and put out every spark
OH leaving, prohibits smoking pipes or
cigars in the woods during danger
periods, requires hunters to use non
combustible wads when shooting, and
directs tnat meadows or slashings shall
not be burned over during the dry
seasons
Violations of the law would be pun
ished by severe method.
Mr.. Barrett delivered the follow sug-
gestions for protecting and increasing
forest propsSty:
More reservoirs to economize surplus
water.
Greater inducements for tree cultiva-
tion on praities and along streams.
State and national laws for develop
ing and preserving forests.
Practical forestry introduced into ed
ucational institutions.

WHAT DOES 1T n1EANe

English Papers Discuss the Call For
Cabinet Meeting.
LONDON, Oct. All the afternoon
of a cabinet council, and it is generally
suggested as being connected with some
serious difficulty with France. The
Liberal organ, The Westminster Ga
zctte, handles the subject very tenderly
and is evidently anxious not to excite
public opinion, and thereby embarrass
the government. On the other hand the
Conservative mouthpieces discuss the
matter more fearlessly and warn France
against encroaching upon British
rights. The Pail Mall Gazette says:
A crisis which necessitates the con-
vening Of cabinet council must be
very sudden, as the ministers were dis
persed on their holidays It is quite
possible, however, that propositions
have been made to settle the various
differences. But, while we gladly
recognize the incident admits of favor
able Interpretation, it is idle to ignore
the fact that it is quite possible that the
cabinet has been summoned to discuss q
new and unexpected cause of friction
with France.
Due to a Dispute With France.
The Globe also expresses the belief
that the hurried calling OF the cabinet
council is due to disputes with France,
adding:
"We believe that there is no ground
for public alarm or suspicion. But we
cannot surrender any part of England's
rights, or shirk any part of her duties.
Our strained relations with France are
nota matter of days growth, nor
connected entirely with Madagascar.
We have points of contact with the
French throughout the world, and
each is possible Of having for
tered irritation which may easily
become strife. It is certain
that the tame way in which we have
allowed ourselves to be outwitted in the
far East during the last year, and the
manner in which we have stood by
while France partitioned our heritage
in Siam, has done much to persuade the
more ignorant or hot headed French
men that England is not SO very terrible
after all.
I The news of the blockade Of the
Island Of Madagascar sets at rest all
doubts as to the immediate business Of
the cabinet council. The ministers
have decided upon a resolute course Of
action. and the public will await with
anxiety the notice of their decision.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-Engineer James
Root, whose heroism saved 200 men,
women and children from the forest
fires which wiped out Hinckley, Mimi,
arrived in this city Tuesday, with his
with his wife and son, from his home
near st. Paul. To a reporter he told
the following story of the act which has
made him famous:
II was making my run from Duluth
to st. Paul, when we ran into smoke
SO dense that, although it was 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, you could not see
your hand before you. We went
through 40 miles Of this, and was with
in three miles of Hinckley when we got
into clear daylight again. About half
mile further on, saw people rushing
toward me from all directions, most OF
them from Hinckley. was forced to
shut off steam and then they shouted:
The towns being burned to cinders.
For Gods sake save us.
4 II could see no fire, but all Of sud
den the wind came with a rush. Then
I told the people to jump in, and as I
was stepping up into my cab, every
thing seemed to be ball Of fire. It
was as sudden as flame bursting out
in a lamp.
The Run For Skunk Lake.
Il let go the throttle and started to
back down to Skunk lake, about six
miles away. We, scarcely got moving
before the train from beginning to end
was rolling ball Of fire. saw the
thick panes in the cab bend with the
heat and then they burst from their
frames and leaped to the top Of the cab
where they were smashed, and the
pieces gashed my head and throat.
'sAll I remembered then was lodging
my head to avoid the flames which
came kissing in at the window, and I
must have tainted, for came to as the
engine stopped, and saw that ] had un-
consciously shut off the steam.
..My hands then were SO swelled
with the heat that they looked as
if had boxing gloves on. The fireman
jumped out Of the water tank, ,sshoveled
more coal into the furnace, and all I
remembered after that is the fireman
saying: We're done for this time
sure, and thought to myself, Yes, I
guess it will be over soon now

BLUEFIELDS INQUIRY.
England'S Action in Nicaragua
to Be Investigated.
There Is Peculiar Significance Con-
nected With the Landing of
the British Troops.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The President
has turned over to the Secretary of State
the preparation of the answer to the Nor
gan resolution calling for information re-
lative to the landing of British troops at
Bluefelds, Nicaragua. No additional ad-
vices from Nicaragua were given out at the
State Department to-day. but there is rea-
son TO believe the President is preparing
for vigorous and unmistakabe assertion
of the rights of the United States in Cen.
trail America and that the correspondence
will include matters of later date than
the brief report from Minister Baker of
the landing of the British troops. 1t Is
still hoped the conditions have been mis-
stated and the troops were landed solely
to protect the lives and property OF British
subjects. instead of for the purpose of in-
terfering between Nicaragua aud the Mos
quito Government. but there is no disposi-
tion TO disguise the real gravity of the in.
cident. for although the British often
talked of their rights to protectorate and
even threatened, it never in this century
came 10 pass that British troops were
landed in Central America, since the as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine, to assert
prOtectOrate,
