bert has ordered Chief Engineer Wilson
to proceed from the Mare Island navy
yard to Seattle, Wash, to examine the
plant of Moran Bros, who submitted a

The bid of Moran Bros. was S163 $50.
about $4,000 above the lowest bid, which
was submitted by Herreshoffs; but as the

give effect to the intent of congress and
encourage the development of new ship
building plants by awarding one contract
to western firm. At the figures specified
in the bids of Moran Bros. and HERE
shoffs, the aggregate cost of the three
vessels if one be awarded the Morans.

The really grsat period of parliamentary

Tho England Of earlier days survived
because 1t was an aristocracy. It was pos.
siblo for the small groups OF MOBILES hnd

seventy men tonight were still fight

OF Doucet's Landing, on the Three
Rivers road. The fire began on
monday morning, when the sky was
darkened by a dense column of
smoke blown by the strongest gale
Tor several years. The fire originat
ed In the brushwood and was kindled
by a farmer clearing new land.
Monday evening the terror was re-
doubled here, when the heavens
were lit up with flame and the rain
OF cinders and sparks fell. The
whole population engaged in PRAYER.
tapers were burned at the altar.
and the priests Joined in the sup
piication to heaven. Guards were
posted all around the village, and
the statues of saints were placed
around the houses to turn back de-
sruct1on. Today the victims of the
calamity are homeless and begging
through the country.
AT o'clock this morning rain be-
gan falling and the people were
overjoyed. Settlers who have been
here for years say they never saw
such a fire.
The area visited by the flames was
one of thirty-five miles. The fire
travelled from north to south, from
the inland forest to the river. This
is the order in which the fire and
smoke spread. st. Celestin, Brault's

The Result of the EnumerafiCu

About week ago an assistant Of
the secretary Of state came to the Of
hce of the managing editor of the
q e, and, with display of consid-
erable agitation, inquired why this pa
per was so persistently trying to secure
tabulated statement of the financial
operations of the census bureau. Not
getting an answer which was reassur-
ing, this individual said:
You don't want those figures They
are mere dry statements of the census
bureaus expenses. / assure you there
is no sensation in them, and as soon
as the bureaus work is completed 1
will see that you get them all. More
over, If you will drop this matter, I
will see that the G o b gets a scoop
on the completed census for the state'
Even this bait did not elicit a satis-
factory answer and the gentleman,
very red in the face, departed. Last
Sunday morning the G / o e began
printing the census bureaus expense
account and on Thursday morning a
Republican newspaper, which has care
fully refrained from publishing the
bureaus accounts, printed exclusively
the census returns. The public will
have no trouble in drawing its infer
ence.

West Superior Failure.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 26.-
Matt c. Burke filed a voluntary assign
ment in the circuit court this morning,
turning over all his property for. the
benefit of creditors. The assets are es-
tinlated at So 400 and liabilities at SILL
600. Burke is a large contractor here
and a very prominent citizen. He is
on the bonds of the suspended Key
stone National bank, in which he is a
stockholder, and feared the city was
to hold him to his liability, which he
is unable to pay at this time. Burke
has large contracts in other cities, not
ably sewer work at Chicago.
