SAND STORMS AND FIRES.
Are Doing Much Damage to Property in
Western States.

st. Paul, October 2O.-The last two days
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
and Manitoba, have been visited by sand
and dust storms which made the air
binding. A freezing scourge, accom-
panied by low temperature is prevailing.
The wind maintained for sometime a
fearful velocity of 80 miles an hour. The
alkali deposits of northern North Dakota
and Manitoba and the sandy soil of south
Dakota and Minnesota have intensified
the blizzard The winds famed the
smoldering wood fires into fresh blaze
and the fury started new condagrations
The loss to the farmer is heavy and sell
dom have such large areas in the north
west been swept by fire. Some OF these
confagrations appeared in the southwest
of Minnesota and South Dakota, but the
bulk of the disaster has fallen ON both
sides of the Red River valley in Minne-
sofa and North Dakota, extending many
mics into Manitoba.
Locomotive fires set three fires on trip
from Red Lake Falls to the crossing OF
the Fosston line at Tilden. just east OF
this crossing the worst fire occurred. 1t
swept north, and great loss resulted An
other bad fire started in Jacksonville,
eight miles east Of Crookston. Nearly
ali the counry between Crookston and
Maple Lake north of Fosston line has
been swept by the fire and the loss will
be very heavy. A child has been burned
to death near Hermann. In Manitob a.,
near Elm Creek, two section men of the
Canadian Pacific were burned to death.
Houses, stables, live stock, grain STOCKS

in the province. A half dozen people
lost their lives and score are seriously
burned and permanently MANNED; II
is estimated that quarter OF million Ii
bushels of grain and nearly a million

THE BLOODY FIGHT.
One Woman Killed and Another One

George e. Swain Arrested on Charge Of
Murder-He Claims Self Defense-A Fatal
Meeting.
Hartford, Con-, October 90. George e.
Swain, an engineer on the New England
road for several years, Is looked up at
the police station on a charge Of murder.
At 1916 this morning he shot William
II. Boyle dead, and also shot Edgar @.
Boyle, a brother Of the dead man,
through the wrist. Swain claims the
shooting in self defense. It took place
in East Hartford on Main street. Three
shots were fired, the first seems to have
been to try a..pistol recently repaired. The
shot attracted the attention of Edward
G. Boyle, W. II. Boyle and their compan-
ions, who rushed to the spot: is believed
that they attacked Swain and two men
who were with him, and Swain fred two
shots. one killing W. H. Boyle and the
other wounding his brother. He was
pursued Into Mobiles drug store by Ed.
BOYLE, who broke large bottle over his
head badly cutting him about the face.
He fed to the house of friend and was
there arrested. He will be given pre-
Iiminary hearing tomorrow.

Austria and Italy are actively moving in
the support of the three protesting
Powers in insisting upon the Immediate

interference of these Powers at this stage
of the situation is movement pre-
liminary to their taking sides with Great
Britain in the event of further develop

correspondents representing the leading
journals of Berlin made a hurried de-
parture from the city today for Con-
stantinople. Prominent newspapers here

HER uLTlMATUM.
Great Britain Is Said to Have Sent 1t to
Venezuela,

London, October 19-The st. James
Gazette says it is in a position to state
that Lord Salisbury has sent an ultima
tum to President Crespo of Venezuela
demanding preparation for the arrest OF
policemen at Uruan, and stating the
terms upon which Great Britain will
definitely determine the boundary dis
pute with Venezuela.
Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Chamberlain.
colonial secretary, the Gazette says, de-
cided upon final course in the matter
before Mr. Chamberlain started on his
vacation month ago, and both agreed
that it was necessary to end the frontier
dispute at once, even if it had to be ac-
oomplished by force. The officials of the
foreign office practically confirm the
statement made by the Gazette that an
ultimatum hal. been forwarded to CIespo.

HIS NEW POSITION.
General Manager Seargeant of Grand
Trunk Will Alternate Between CaLada
and England.

EMontreal, October ia London special
says, touching Mr.. L. j. Sergeant S
new position on the Grand Trunk Kali
road: MIL. J. Seargeant, general man
ager of the Grand Trunk, is succeeded
by Charles M. Hay, now yice-presidcnt
and general manager of the Wabash Rail-
road. Mr. Sergeant will be proposed
by the board for seat on the Grand
Trunk board in London. Mr.. Soargeant
will take his seat at the board as the
directorate's Canadian advisor, at his
present salary. He will reside partly
in London and partly in Montreal as
his duties require.
The half yearly meeting OF the Grand
Trunk shareholders will take place on
October 9Th in London. 1t will doubt
less be an interesting meeting and Slr
Charles Rivers Wilson will probably
then outline his policy. The Tyl er party
is not vet wiped out and vigorous crltl-
cism of the new programme may be ex-
pected.
Your correspondent learns on the best
of authority that the statement is utter
" untrue that the Duke of Marlborough
now in the United States is about to join
the Grand Trunk railway board
The elaborate statements published
that the Vanderbilts will hereby get q
grip on the Grand Trunk and throw OFF
their Canadian Pacific alliance fall,
therefore, to the ground.
The Grand Trunk directors have re-
oeive most encouraging cables about the
future prospect under restore rates as q
result Of the pending agreement between
the trunk lines III the United.States.
Mr.. Hayes will probably sever his con
neotion with the Wabash on December l,
and assume the duties of his new position
on January /. Railway men, in view
of the change, are talking of a Wabash
Grand Trunk combination.
The fact that the Dominion Line o1
steamers will run all the year round &c

HOW EFFECTS US.
Idea of War With Great Britain Secuted
by Public Men.

Idea of War With Great Britain Secuted
by Public Men.
Washington, October 19.-Nothing Is
known here except what is quoted in the
evening papers from the st. James Ga
zette of the alleged ultimatu1n which
Lord Salisbury is said to have sent for
Pesident Crespo of Venezuela, and the
threat that Great Britain is to speedily
apply force to the settlement of the
boundary question in Venezuela. Inas-
much as demand similar to the alleged
ultimatum was sent by Great Britain to
Venezuela this time last year, and moth
ing came of it, nothing may come OF 1t
now assuming that the story is correct.
IT. however, Lord Salisbury has taken
suoh a stand and President Crespo should
appeal to the United States. our govern
ment would have an interesting and I'M
portant question to determine. Indeed,
if it should get official confirmation from
Ambassador Bayard. who has bean in
structed to keep the state departments
constantly informed as far as he possibly
can of all the moves that the British
government makes in this matter, the
question might be considered as to
whether our government should wait for
any appeal from President Crepo.
If the news Is correct it indicates that
Lord Salisbury has taken stand which
is inconsistent with yielding TO our re-
quest that she submit the matter in dis
pute with Venezuela to arbitration. How
ever, all talk about war between this
country and Great Britain, such as some
newspapers are indulging in, is secuted
by members OF the administration and
all thinking public men, too, have no
doubt that the matter will be settled
without friction between this country
and Great Britain.

A BIG MEETING AT SACO YES
TERDAY.
Two Officers of the League and Their Ex-
perience in Buying Liquor-Got Ii AT
Thirty Places in Biddeford and Several
in Saco.

ESPECIAL TO TIE PRESS.J
Saco. October 90 The temperance
sentiment in Biddeford and Saco is daily
expanding. This afternoon eight hundred
people sat two hours in Saco City hall
and listened to addresses by members OF
the York County Enforcement League.
The opening address by John 2. Kelly,
chairman Of the executive committee,
embodied some novel feature 1t was he
who. in company with George Benjamin,
formerly of Cape Elizabeth, and now an
employe in Mr.. Kelly's machine shop IN
Biddeford, caught SO many liquor sellers
for the grand jury of the September term
OF York county Supreme court Mr. Kelly
freely dealt in names and locations OF
liquor dealers whose places were visited
in his rounds A somewhat sensational
admission on his part was that he and
Benjamin took their first experience III
tippling in order to help out the league
in its work. They not only made pur-
chases of liquor in bottles, wherever they
could, but bought and drank lager beer
on the premises of every seller who would
sell it to them by the glass, thus procur-
ing evidence with which to ifiict punish
ment on the charges of nuisance and
keeping tippling shop.
They were able to purchase liquors, at
three places in Saco, and no less than
thirty In Biddeford All of these places
Mr. Kelly enumerated and gave his
opinion of it's general reputation. Two
Biddeford grocery firms he declared are
engaged in the wholesale liquor business,
while bottling concern on that side OF
the river has been putting up from twelve
to fifteen barrels Of bottled lager every
day. He told about he and Benjamin
washing down with beer their suppers i'll
q Biddeford resua urant, one evening, and
their purchase Of half pint each OF
whiskey, which the waiter braNghu out
wrapped ina dish towel. They drank
beer at several hotel restaurants, and at
hotel bars He said they had visited every
place in the two cities where the special
United States liquor tax is paid, but
few were either suspicious or too shrewd
to fall into the trap. At a Biddeford
grocery store the boy clerk promised to
sell them some whiskey and was hunting
for bottle to put it in when the
prOprietor's Suspicion was aroused and he
decided not to fill the order.
Mr.. Kelly declared that the league and
it's committee aims at impartiality,
knows neither friend nor foe in the liquor
business, and means to keep I'D its work
till the last rumseller is driven out OF the
business
Rev. P. II. Moore of the Saco Congre-
gational church and Rev. Mr.. Stacy of
the Free Baptist church, gave addresses,
in which they scored the officers and ar
pealed for reinforcements in the ranks OF

wanted in three states and the Provinces
for breaking and entering, horse stealing
etc., was arrested here this afternoon.
His capture is regarded as one OF the
most Important that has taken. place IN

He was concerned in break at Bangor
and the larceny of nearly $1,000 worth OF
hardware. His brother is now serving
a two years. sentence in the Maine state
prison for the same break.
