ROUGH WEATHER
Experienced On the Lakes Yesterday.
Shipping Had Many Serious Risks
to Rnn-.A Steamer Disabled.

Chicago, October 27.-Lake Michigan
was wept by a terrific sale to-day.
During the afternoon from one to three
o'clock the wind blew OF the west
shore at the rate Of forty-four miles an
hour. Small craft had a bad time in
the sea that suddenly rolled up.
The gale was stronger along the east
shore where all kinds Of shipping had
a rough time. Storm signals were dis
PLAYED on Lakes Superior, Michigan
and Huron. These signals viii be
tioated until 100 o'clock tomorrow.
Snow was scheduled for Chicago, but
the weather men changed their minds
and the weather was clear.
Chicago, October 27.-Dispatches
from ST. Joseph, Mich, says: The
steamer Peerless, of the Lake Mich
igan and Lake Superior line, went
around at the entrance TO ST. Joseph
harbor this evening and now lies In a
perilous situation. At midnight the
boat shifted over on her side so that
her gangways were under water and
the stern was pounding badly on the
bed of rock.
The Peerless left St. Joe docks at .
o'clock yesterday, bound for Chicago,
without cargo. Just outside the har-
Dor. the gale had lashed up such a sea
that the captain turned about and put
back. In attempting to enter the
channel. she went aground just inside
the piers. listed over to one side several
feet and lay exposed to a furious west
sea and large waves were constantly
dashing against her.
No tugs were available in the st.
Ice harbor and it was impossible to
render any assistance to the disabled
steamer until the sea runs down. 1t
was feared that before the gale ceased
to blow. the Peerless would be a wreck
and possibly all on board would be
lost.

FOREST FIRES
Ross County, o., Farmers Have Long
BattIe-Many Overcome by Heat.

Ross County, o.. Farmers Have Long
Battle-Many Overcome by Heat.
Chillicothe. O., October 27.-The
dreaded forest fires have broken out IN
this county and have already done great
damage In two days three hundred
acres of woodland and orchards have
been destroyed, and the flames are still
raging fiercely, battling every means
that IS brought to bear to subdue them.
The fire was first discovered on the
farm of Mr.. c. +. Dufeu, in Concord
township, Friday evening. How 1t
started is unknown, but it is supposed
that some hunters carelessly started a
fire and did not eXtinguish it. Help
was summoned and all the farmers for
miles around came to the rescue, for
they realized that their own farms were
in danger. A determined battle fol-
lowed, and by midnight it was thought
that the flames were subdued and the
men went TO bed for a few hours OF
needed rest.
Yesterday morning another alarm
was sounded, and a fierce battle fol-
lowed. lasting all day and far into the
night Every man for miles around
that could possibly be present was
there. and. as some of them were over
come by the intense heat, others took
their places.
Several hundred acres were plowed
around, and every effort was used to
keep the flames from spreading. If
the situation is not better by tomorrow
it is expected that detachments Of men
from other parts of the county will go
to the assistance of the inhabitants Of
Concord. 1t is believed, however, that
the flames will be pretty well under con-
trol nv tonight.

JUMPED 70 DEATH.
Pat Callahan Hoped OF the POugh-
keepsie Bridge, Yesterday,
And Died Just Before Midnight Last
Night - The Height Was Two
Hundred and Twelve Feet-Be
Took Long Chances on Notoriety,
and Lost.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, October 81
Patrick King Callahan, 26 years old,
who lived in New York, jumped from
the top of the Poughkeeps.e bridge into
the river to-day. The distance was 212
feet. AT least thirty people saw Gala
hans exhibition of nerve. The bridge
jumper was seriously injured, and may
pay for THE daredevil experiment with
his life.
Callahan and his hackers, John P.
Eckhardt and William Lloyd, of New
York, accompanied by few sporting
men and reporters, arrived at Highland
on the COS train this evening. Gala
han, accompanied by four Of his party,
climbed up the mountainside to the
entrance Of the bridge, where they
eluded the watchman by telling him
that they belonged to a party Of paint
ers who were engaged in painting the
bridge They passed out TO point
within 175 feet of the west shore, where
Callahan prepared Ito jump. He wore
pair of black trousers and a navy
blue woolen shirt over suit of ordinary
under clothing and wore heavy leather
shoes. His associates strapped a cork
jacket. or life-preserver, around his
waist and attached an inflated beef
bladder to each of his shoulders. These
were calculated to keep him straight in
falling. Without a sign of fear, Gala
han clambered over the railing and
hung from the edge OF the foot path
by his hands. His friends were waiting
under the bridge in two row boats to
pick him up, and as soon as he saw
them, he shouted goodbye" to those
on the bridge and lei, go AS he neared
the water his legs separated and he
struck with noise that sounded like
report Of a gun. He came to the sur
face quickly and meaning as if in great
pain struck out for one of the boats,
the occupants of which picked him up,
and took him ashore. Then he was
carried TO Deans hotel and a country
doctor said he was seriously injured.
/ This afternoon other doctors found Cal

and suffering from hemorrhages, caused
by a serious laceration of the perineum

No arrests have been made. King
callahan claims to have jumped from

Shortage.
Washington. October 27.-In addl-
ton to the resignation of Francis D..
Kleckhoener, the chief of the Bureau
of Accounts, in the State Department,
at the request of Secretary Onley, as
announced in these dispatches last
night. the Secretary also requested and
received the resignation of Edward
Haywood. the chief bookkeeper of the
Bureau. These changes are the re-
suits OF the discovery of alleged irreg-
ularities in the accounts Of the Bureau,
which have been under investigation
for some time 1t is understood that a
report which the expert accountants
conducting the investigation submit
ted to the department showed some
thousands of dollars unaccounted FOR,
the principal shortage being S9,OOO.
This sum. it is alleged, has been depos-
tied by South American republics IN
support OF the Bureau OF American he
publics.
The chief trouble with the Bureau
of Accounts. according to the treasury
accountants, has been the system OF
bookkeeping. The system has been in
vogue for many years and had been IN
berited by Mr.. Kieckhoeffer from his
predecessor. Another charge IS based
upon the issue of the revised statutes,
hundreds of which, it is said have been
disposed of and the money not accaunt-
ed for.

London. October 27.-The Times this
morning has a three-column article on
the N:caraguan Canal, from a CORE
spondent lately there, who says that it
is clear the protest cannot be carried

that it must be under the auspices Of
some strong government, which, with
out doubt, must be The United States

WANTS A LONG CAMPAIGN.

Philadelphia, October 26.-Speaking
of the Republican campaign next year,
David Martin, a member Of the National
Committee, said: 1T IS not in the inter-
est OF the Republican party and its cant
didate for President that the campaign
should be short. I know It is held that
business men do not favor a long cam
paign. Had the campaign OF 1880 and
1883 been short, neither Garfield nor
Harrison would have been elected. For
debatable or doubtful States short cam
paigns would not do. Time is needed
for work and for the education of the
people. Short campaigns would be more
in the interest Of the Democratic party
than for the Republicans"
