WAsHlNGToN August 29.-Some
days ago Commissioner Miller, Of the
internal revenue department tele-
graphed agents in the sugar districts
to separate and identify all sugarmade
at factories from july j, 1894, to mid
night, August 27. This having been
done, the commissioner yesterday gave
the agents instructions to withdraw
all government control and supervis-
ion of sugar This supervision has
been maintained heretofore because of
the sugar bounty provision of the Nc
Kinley act, and now that bounties
have ceased by virtue of the new tar
if bill, ii is no longer necessary.

WASHINGTON, August 3O.-Onicial
reports received at the state depart
ment indicate quite serious situation
in Peru. 1t has been found necessary
to suspend several articles of the con
stitution, including the writ of habeas
corpus, and the president of the re-
public is clothed with pictorial pow
ers. The provision allowing all per-
sons to meet peacefully in public, as
in private, is suspended; also that pro-
vision which prevented sending per-
son from the republic or his residence
without an executive countenance.
The Peruvian government has also
increased the duty ON all imports
from % to 80 per cent.

Hone kong, Sept. Ia terrible
fire has occurred on the Canton river.
A flower boat caught fire and the
flames spread until hundreds of those
crafts were destroyed. The progress
of the fire was so rapid that at least
1000 natives persisted in the flames.
The flower boats were moored stem
and stern in rows and large numbers
of natives lived upon them. The
spread of the conilagration from one
boat to another was SO rapid that the
unfortunate Chinese had no time to
cut them from their moorings, strong
wind materially helping The increase
of the flames. Many hundreds of per-
sons on board the flower boats leaped
overheard and were drowned, while
others remained on board the doomed
craft and persisted in the flames.

Into effect,by that road without the con-
kept in 4 effect because 1t was not
thought worth while In the beginning
to fight them. Things have changed
greatly In the last fifteen
Years; however. Then the Northern
roads' only means of reaching
San francisco was by boat and that
service was very irregular and uncer-
tain. Now every one of them has
good all rail facilities in addition to reg
ular steamship lines from Victoria and
Portland and all other important North
PACIFIC coast points. The North Pacific
coast has had big boom since then. In
1880 its population was but 249.ss4 In
1890 1t had increased to 695,209. The
population of California In 1880 was
l,1l4.57S. In 1890 it was but 1903. $3.50.
In the interval the Northern lines have
been immensely benefited by the estab-
lishment of two first.class trans-Pacifc
steamship lines. In 1880 the San Fran.
cisco or Southern lines took so per cent
of the entire transcontinental business
and the Northern lines had to be con-
tent with 20 per cent Of it. In the de.
cade the Southern lines have lost 20 per
cent. and the Northern lines have gained
20. They now carry 40 per cent OF the
whole, while the Southern lines carry
only copper cent. There are five South
ern lines and only four Northern lines.
In any pooling arrangement that might
be agreed 10 the Northern lines could
not hope to increase their present pro-
portions. They might have to give up
some. With these facts In view the
Santa Fe will claim that whatever diff
ferentials may be allowed any OF the
Northern lines on business to San Fran
cisco must be allowed it on business to
Portland and other North Pacific coast
points. 1t is willing though to have
the whole matter arbitrated and does
not mind how the arbitrators are Sc
lected.

Pythian Sisters Not to Be

mortal Services.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-A split in the
Knights of Pythias is said by members
of the supreme lodge to be possible,
and perhaps probable, outcome OF the
meeting now In progress here. Already
the committee designated to consider
the question of the membership of the,
order has decided to report against the
future admission OF the foreign class,
and now it is understood that the com
mittee in charge OF the matter known
as the German question:" that is the
question OF permitting lodges to perform
the ritual In that language, has decided
to make an ironclad report for the use
of the English language only. 1t is said
by Supreme Chancellor Blackwell to be
the intention OF the Pythians to make
their order a patriotic one, and to bend
all Its influences to the support of the
institutions of our government. The
opponents of the German lodges say
that the perpetuation OF foreign Ian
guage in the United States will not
tend to the support of the institutions
of this government. and think that for
eign members in the United States
should be americanized.
The German lodges have been open in
the avOWal of their determination to Sc
cede and conduct their branch of the
order on their own responsibility, in
case the contest went against them. 1t
is understood that committee report
will be made against the recognition of
the Pythian Sisters as an order.
The morning session Of the supreme
lodge today was devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the proposed new constitu-
ton. In the afternoon sole mn memo
rial services in memoryo of ex-Congress-
man George 3. Shaw, of Wisconsin,
past supreme chancellor, were held.
The Pythiau Quartette furnished music,

Chicago Firms Are Heavy Suffer-

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Chicago lumber
dealers suffered heavily from the forest
fires. No estimate of the loss in this
line Of business has been made, but it
will be heavy.
"No private advices have yet reached
u.s." said W. P. Ketchum, of the
Ketchum Lumber company, today, "but
we are pretty we'll satisfied that the re-
ports in the morning papers are about
correct. We have lot of logs up at
Washburn, but so far they have escaped.
and we have not suffered any direct loss
from the forest fires. Bigelow Bros.
seem 10 have had their mills and
stock about wiped out. They had
100000 feet of lumber destroye Ell,
f. Cook & Co., also had their mills
wiped out. The c. G. Thompson COM
pamy's mills were next to Cooks, but
the reports do not speak of them at all.
These are all the firms operating at
Washburn, but there were fires at
Benoit, near Ashland, in which A.
Weed & Co.'s mills were destroyed.
The stock of lumber there had been
sold to Albert Russell & Co.. of Chicago.
There we're also big fires in Ashland, in
which the John Spry Lumber company
had large stock of lumber destroyed.
The forest fires HAD nothing to do with
that, however. These are the only
Chicago lumber firms which have suf.
ferred fire losses at this time of which /

1t thoroughly was shown the way in
which it actually worked.
A piece of fresh meat was placed In
an open dish and some Of the pre-di-
gested food mixed with 1t, when the
temperature was raised to that of the
stomach. Almost immediately there
was a change in the color of the meat.
next its fibers seemed to separate, and
soon it assumed liquid form, the same
as it does in the human stomach after
being eaten. The effect. the change.
the entire process, was most wond erlul
