PENNSYLVANIA FIRE LOSSES.
Mill and Mine Property and Lum-
Der and Standing Timber all
Included

BRADFORD, Pa, May THE
losses from fire at Glen Hazel will
amount to a large sum. They will
include a large saw mill owned by
D. S. Dolliver, Of Ridgewsy, capaci-
ty $4,000 feet per day, a lumber
yard owned by Elias Deemer, OF
Williamsport, together with TO-
100000 feet Of lumber. Insurance
Is understood to cover about half
the loss. The fire caught under
the gang saw. The cause is I'M
known, but as 1t followed 80 closely
upon the heels Of the loss of Weed
4 Cos. mill, week ago, 1t is
thought to have been the work Of
an incendiary.
The loss Of coal and freight rev.
enue will not fall short OF Sl,O0O,-
600.
The forest fires have died out,
but are expected to spring up at
any minute. Quintuple Hill is on
fire. Ever since the dry spell
the Emery Oil company has
had a man employed to follow az
ter each train so that In case the
woods should catch fire, the flames
might be extinguished before get
ting beyond control. Yet, in spite
Of this precaution,th hill is roar
ing furnace. 1t has not yet been
learned how the conflagration
started, but presumably from
sparks Of some passing engine. The
Emery Oil company has lost one
rig and others are in danger,
Should the fire 60 over the hill, it
may prove very disastrous. A bad
fire is reported on the Brockton
and Safe road, west Of Coon Run.
Nothing has been learned from
these points as to the damage

TORONTO, May T. Canada is 60
ing to have an International Expo-
sition. 1t Is to run from May to
October, 1896. It's promoters give
as its object "To make known to
the world the resources and prod
ucts Of the entire Dominion, and
bring the nation into closer com.
munication with the rest OF the
world"
The exposition is to be held in
Montreal. The sitefwill not only
cover the present exposition
grounds, bat will take in the adj
joining land of the Mount Royal
park, about hundred and twenty
one acres in all. In this space the
Dominion proposes to show all Of
her varied products and industries
and ask all nations to exhibit what
they offer in return for what she
wants to sell. Great Britain's col.
onies have been dwarfed by
the mother country, and Cam
ada, conscious of the Importance
of her own trade, now wants to be
recognized as a. factor in the
worlds progress. The leaders Of
the enterprise are the solid men of
Canada. The head of the commit.
tee Of organization is the Hon. Sir
Donald X. Smith, president OF the
bank Of Montreal. The chief
worker is J. II. Stiles, who was
Great Britain's chief commissioner
at the recent San Francisco fair.
He has interested the leading rail-
ways, institutions, municipalities
and business men, and it is as
sured now that about the time of
the Queens birthday next year,
the exposition will be opened.
The buildings will be oriental in
character, but they will have suf-
ficient variations in the designs to
avoid too much the appearance Of
a repetition Of previous exposi-
tions. There will be structures de-
voted to fine arts, manufacturers,
electrical and other machinery,
fisheries, forestry, horticulture, agri-
culture, music, dairy products and
educational and womens' work.
Venice and its gondolas, Cairo's
street and the Midway Plaisance
will be among the attractions.

wEIGHTY LEGAL OPINION.
The Army and navy and Militia
Subject to Their Own Laws.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-The most
interesting of several cases decided
by the Supreme court today was
that OF David B. Sayre, formerly
clerk to the paymaster at the Nor
folk navy yard, against Captain
Johnson, of the navy. In Novem-
Der, 1894, Sayre was sentenced by
court martial to two years impris-
onment in the naval prison for
misappropriating money belonging
to the government. Sayre APP
peaied to the United States Circuit
court, eastern district Of Virginia,
on the ground that his sentence
was contrary to the constitutional
provision that citizens shall not be
denied their liberty except by due
process of law, and upon present.
ment or indictment by the grand
Jury. Judge Hughes, Of the Cir
cult court, granted writ OF habeas
corpus on the ground mentioned,
but the Supreme court today re-
versed his ruling. Judge Hughes
held that Sayre's conviction could
not be sustained by that clause of
the constitution, "except in cases
arising in the land or naval forces
or in the militia, which were in
actual service in time OF war or
public danger, because the country
was not then in war or danger"
Justice Gray, who delivered the
opinion of the court, said the OPP
posite construction has always
been presumed. These citizens in
the army and navy were in the
actual service Of the United States
at all times, whether In war or
peace, and military and naval
authorities had Jurisdiction and
custody of their persons.

NEW YORK, May ID cannot
believe Japan will ever submit to
the unjust demands and interfer-
ence Of Russia" said the Japanese
consul in New York, Mr.. Hashigchi,
last night. "The news of the gov
ernment's surrender astonishes me.
The sentiment Of the whole Japa-
nese people is entirely against al
lowing interference by any nation
in the settlement of peace with
China. We will fight first, and to
the bitter end, be it Russia, France
or any other country, which tries
to steal the fruit of our victory.
We have conquered China and
have the right of the conquerors to
claim Manchuria or Liza Tung
peninsula. Our troops are there
now and it is the demand of the
people that they remain in possess
sion Of the county. Port Ar
thur is the key to the en-
tire Chinese empire. 1t is
the Gibraltar Of Japan. 1t is the
one place of all that it is important
to hold. Its possession would not
only be a constant reminder to
China Of Japan's power, but point
otvantage to hold as q menace
against the conquered country.
Japan's control in Manchuria
blocks Russia's advances in carry
ing out the schemes of Asiatic ag-
erosion laid out by Peter the
Great, and followed by all succeed
ing Gears. This great overbearing
power wants the earth for itself,
simply to enhance its own power,
and interferes with Japan's claims
won by force Of arms In a just
cause.
"Our nation has lost it's fear and
thrown of its submissive spirit.
That is the feeling Of the mass Of
the people. They would prefer
war any day to submission. Pa
triotism will be aroused as when
the war with China was declared.
II the minister has complied with
Russia's demands an uprising Is
probable, and doubtless there will
be a change in the government.
Perhaps there may be q revolution.
1 cannot understand why the
minister should give way in the
face of such universal opposition.
1.-TWO parties in Japan, the pro-
gressive and the liberal are OPP
posed to the government. In the
event of the minister being over.
thrown, 1t is hardly possible that
either would come into power.
Japan Is not ripe for that. ! should
think that the new premier would
be chosen from the ranks Of the
government party.
I'm the event of war with Russia,
the initial advantage will be with
Japan. There are less than one
hundred thousand Russian troops
in Siberia, the government railroad
there is still long distance from
the coast and Ii would take five or
six months to mass any great
number Of troops on the border.
The Russian feet on the Pacific is
smaller than ours, and many
nths would elapse before more
vessels could arrive from European
waters.
Japan would fight to the last.
We have no fear Of losing our inde-
pendence through war with Rus.
sia. 1t might mean the sinking of a
feet, the loss Of 100000 men, but
what is that to people of IA, 000,-
900, fighting for the principles and
territory already won with blood.
eff I know the sentiment of the
people, they will never consent to
Russia depriving them Of their
Chinese territory"
No news Of the situation had
been received at the Consulate.

is a noted character in the district. Sun

quired for "a certain woman. He was
told that she was not there He said he
would not be alive much longer.
Last night he called again at the hour
indicated and inquired for the same wom-
an; she was not in. He then invited all
the women in the house to drink with him.
He said to one of them good bye" stepp-
ed back and shot himself. After falling
to the floor he remarked that he hoped
he had made a good job of 1t. He was
carried to his mothers place where he
recognized an Astorian reporter and in
answer to the question as to why he had
committed the deed, said, II am tired of
life, and am sorry did not make good
job"
Up to midnight he was still alive.

After dinner all hands again adjourned
to the seashore, the great attractive fea-

ever the same yet ever changing, some
times sportiye and again dashing with
irresistible force against the shore, is

verse and the great powers of life and
death. The golden rays of the setting
sun cast a path of light over the calm
surface of the water seemingly pointing
the way to some future abode of promise.
Suddenly disappearing, 1t seemed a
molten ball dropping into the sea, and
one almost watched to see the rising
spray.
Lingering in the twilight, loath to leave
so charming a scene, the party finally
