The Forest Fires.

Seattle, August 1.-THE past two
DAYS the forest fires which were burn
ing to the south have increased, and
the line of blazing woods has extended,
until now it seems to include the whole
of Western Washington. For the
most part the fires are confined to brush
clearings and to grass, which, owing
to the continued dry weather, has be-
come as dry as finder. Nevertheless,
several blazes of consequence are re-
ported. Near Shelton, where a train
on the Peninsular railway was wrecked
a few days ago, owing to a burning
bridge, fires are raging, and require
continual watching in order to keep
them out of the town. The railway
company is keeping close guard to save
the rest of its bridges and tracks.
Yesterday the barn of Sam Gustin,
at North Bend, was burned, together
with 100 tons of hay. Near Tolt,
the residence of w. G. Richardson was
burned. with all it's contents. His
loss is 81, 500, with insurance OF 5000,
in the State Insurance Company, OF
Oregon. Communication with Tatoosh
island was established today for the
first time since August 10, fires along
the straits of Fuca and cambridge
island having broken down the line.

A Convention to Form Western Edi-
tOria1 Association.
The Utah Press Association has is
sued call for a convention Of all
western editors, for the purpose of
forming one grand Western Editorial
Association. The convention will be in
session in Salt Lake City August 27th
and 29th. Arrangements have been
made with the railroads so that every
newspaperman desiring to attend "can
do SO without paying his fare or
counting ties.
The call for this convention has been
issued with view to inaugurating a
movement to promote the general well
fare of Western journalism and create
a closer and more friendly intercourse
between the editorial workers through
out the transmississippi states. AT the
convention it is proposed to discuss
libel laws and such other matters as
may come before the convention.
Altogether the idea of such con-
ventiOn and of such an assOcia ton must
strike every editor favorably. The as
ISOLATION will give greater weight to
the papers of this association, and
carry greater influence in national leg
islation affecting the states embraced
by the organization.
Any further information about trans
portation, routes, hotels, etc, can be
obtained by addressing a note Of ill.,
quiry to A. B. Tomson, corresponding
secretary Utah Press Association, 800

TAYLOR THE DEFAUlTER.
South DakOta's ex-Treasurer Given the
Limit of the Law.

Pierre, S. D., August 16. The
courtroom was crowded today to hear
Judgment pronounced on w. w. Tay-
lor, defaulting ex-state treasurer.
When asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced
on him, Taylor, in low voice, replied:
81 have not.
Judge Gaffney then reviewed the
case and the different statutes bearing
ON the crime. He considered the much
discussed section 1865 void, and did
not believe a two-year sentence was in
tended to cover such case as this. He
considered that Taylor's worst crime
was in attempting to force a COM
promise after gathering together all
the state funds he could lay his hands
ON. A sentence of five years at hard
labor was then pronounced.
The attorneys of w. w. Taylor are
iubilant in the belief that their client
will not begin to serve out the tive
year sentence imposed on him by Judge
Gaffeny this morning. They will ap-
ply to the supreme court for a habeas
corpus on the ground that two years is
the longest sentence permissible under
the statute invoked by the lower court.

REPORT OF HAMMOCK TROUBLE
Captain Vanersdale Lays All the Blame
on the White Hunters.

Captain vanersdale Lays All the Blame
on the White Hunters.
Washington, August ia report
sent to the war department by Captain
j. Vanersdale, of the Seventh infantry,
late acting agent of the Fort Hall res
ervation, on the subject of trouble with
the Bannock indians, has been referred
to the secretary of the interior. The
report says, in part:
being shOrt-rationed and far from
self-supporting, the Bannocks hunt for
the purpose of obtaining sustenance.
By treaty, they are granted this privi-
lege. 1t would seem that the killing
of these Indians under the circuQh-
stances is nothing more nor less than
murder. Furthermore, believe there
is no wanton slaughter of game by
them, while it is a notorious fact that
hundreds of animals are killed by
white men for nothing more than their
heads and horns The Indians can
hardly be expected to submit to the
killing of their deer while engaged in
an occupation which they think they
have right to follow more quietly
than white men would do, and failure
by the government to take proper &C.
ton is apt to result in serious loss of
life and property

afraid of Barrios. The new republic
would be willing to make treaties with
Guatemala should she wish it. Min

The Sealers in Behring Sea.

San Francisco, August IA. - The
schooner Uranus brings news that the
sealers have reached Behring sea and
are in imminent danger of seizure by
the revenue cutters. This means a
great deal to owners Of sealing ven'
lures. The instructions under which
the cutters are boarding vessels this
wear are to seize all seal skins. The
schooners are liable to seizure also, for
the international regulations are SO
strict that vessels with guns for shoot
ing seals ON board are not allowed IN
Behring sea. The last news from the
United States cutter Corwin, which
was received by those on the Uranus,
was that she was expected back by
Unimak island the middle of July. All
these things indicate that the next
news received from Behring sea Is
likely to be sensational in its nature.

Combines Property.
Chicago, August 1.-THE transfer
OF the seventeen distilleries and office
buildings in Peoria, purchased yester-
day by the reorganization committee,
to the American Spirits Manufacturing
Company, has been arranged for. The
papers are all drawn up, but before
formal title can be given it will be
necessary to obtain a confirmation or
der from the United States court. Re-
celver McNulta is required by the decree
OF sale to make report to the court of
the proceedings, and a cOnfirmatory or
der will issue without doubt. There
will then have to be other cOnfrmatory
orders from the federal courts at Gin
cinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville and
st. Paul, in whose jurisdiction are To-
Gated some of the distilleries sold yes
terday.
The confirmatory order here and those
in thes auxiliary proceedings in other
courts will not be made until the
judges return from their vacations.
Meanwhile the work of arranging for
resumption of active distillery business
OH October l will go forward, pending
the actual launching of the new cor
pOratiOn.
The American Spirits Manufacturing
Company is a chartered Illinois corpor-
alton, with $35, 200, 900 capital, and
its head Office will be in Chicago. S.
M. Rice, who succeeded to the presi-
dency of the old trust on Greenhut's
deposition, has been named as presi
dent of the new corporation, but the
names of the new directors are with
held until the legal title to the prop
erty is complete. 1t is expected that
the new company will gradually pur-
chase most of the valuable plants still
remaining in Receiver McNulta's
hands, but this is contingent to some
extent on the amount of the active bus
mess to be done in the fall.

CANADA COMPETITION
A Bulletin From the Agricul.
tural Department.
THE WORLDS MARKET SERIES
Total Trade of the Dominion HMe In
creased Twenty-Five Per Cent
in Ten Years.

Washington, August 13.-The ex-
tent of the competition of Canada with
the United States in foreign markets is
pointed out in bulletin, to be issued
by the secretary of agriculture in
few days. The bulletin is the fourth
of the worlds market series i'll course
of publication by the department, and
embodies the reports of thirty of our
consuls in the Dominion. 1t shows
that the total export of Canada in
creased from 89,OOO,OOO i'll 1885 to
Sis, 200, 900 i'll 1894, or 33 per cent;
the imports from $4,000, 900 to
1923, 900, 900, or 3 per cent; and the
total trade from 81 90, 600, 900 to $24l,-
900, 900, or 81 per cent during the same
period. The largest proportional in
crease was in 1892, when the value of
the total trade exceeded that of the
preceding year about / per cent.
From 10SSto 1891, inclusive, the trade
of Canada with the United States ex-
ceeded that of any other country, but
since then the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland has taken
the first rank, with the United States
second.
An important fact is that a large
share of the agricultural products 60
ing abroad from Canadian seaports
are cereals and flour in transit from
the United States. OF $27,OOO,O 900 of
such products shipped last year, &c.
900, 900 was American merchandise.
OF late wears increased attention has
been given by the government of Can
ada to dairy interests, encouraging the
dairy associations throughout the coun-
try, and passing strict sanitary laws
regulating the manufacture of cheese
and butter. No authorizations can be
used, and the importation, manufac-
ture and sale of oleomargarine and
other similar substances is prohibited.
Through the quantity of butter export
ed decreased from 100000 pounds
in 1888 to 5,5OO,OOO in 1894, nearly so
per cent, the value declined only from
81, 700, 600 to $1,1OO,OOO. This indi-
Gates improvement in the quality of
butter exported
The statistics of the fishing industry
and the forest products show that the
value of the former in 1894 was $780,
900, 900, and the latter over $8O,00O,-
900. In wood pulp, in 1894, the
United States alone imported from the
Dominion $369,O1O.

THE VACANT JUSTICESHiP.

Cleveland May Appoint Harrison to
the Place.
Chicago, August ia special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Ex-President Harrison is among
those suggested for the vacancy on the
supreme bench vacated by the death of
Justice Jackson. Attention has been
called to the fact that while Mr.. Har
rison was president he was broad
enough to appoint as justice of the
supreme court an ex-Confederate and
Democrat, Howell E. jackson. 1t is
suggested, in view of this fact, that
Mr.. Cleveland, brushing aside party
considerations, should appoint his
predecessor in the White House to the
highest judicial tribunal in this coun'
try. No president since Washington
has had an opportunity to make more
than five appointments to this post OF
duty and dignity. Washington made
eleven appointments, and Jackson,
Lincoln and Grant are the only others
who ever reached five. Harrison
named four. Cleveland has made three
appointments, and has vacancy to fill,
while there is one ON the bench who
may 0etire before the end of this ad-
YninistratiOn
