NEW York. june 3.--Thomas Fl. Car

says:

ordinary mind the fact thnt the president and
HIS administration may gain much by
directing public attention from the acts and
policies OF the administration. OF course. the
administration desires 70 talk about sound
money rather than its foreign policy or lack OF
policy; TO talk about anything rather than the
lamentable failure OF tho last congress 10 deal

cent less than the market value"
Upon one question there will be neither
difference OF opinion 70 the general
principle involved or as TO the means TO
DO employed. That Is with reference TO
the restoration OF vigorous thoroughly
American foreign policy. l am persuaded
that tho republican national convention
will pledge the party anew and with the great
ost earncstness and force TO this line OF policy.
The people demand 1t. They nre conscious OF
their strength. and they realize that this re-

BRADFORD, Pm. June Q. - Copious
rains came and subdued the fiery
forests Tuesday. All night throug h.
out Elk and Mexican counties
men watched and worked To stop
the flames that threatened TO de-
stroy their homes and perhaps their
lives. No cessation WAS permitted
or thought of. Any rest from the
fight meant the loss Of everything.
About o'clock Tuesday afternoon rain
began 10 fail, light at first and then IL
camc down In torrents and gave a re-
spite TO hundreds OF men at Russell
City, Knapps Greek and other places
who had fought the destroying ele-
ment for forty-eight hours.
Telegraph communication was
opened TO Russell City at o'clock
Tuesday night. Only the hardest kind
of work saved the place from destruc-
ton. The operator at Russell City de-
MES that Coon Run settlement has
been wiped out. The town was en-
tirely surrounded by fire Monday after
noon and night, but 1t did not reach
the dwelling houses, and only few on
the outskirts were burned.
Elk county has experienced a num-
berof destructive forest fires, but those
Of Sunday and Monday surpassed
them all. The fire at Russell City
Monday night was one that drove ter
ror TO the hearts of the SEQ people
who inhabit the place. At 10 o'clock a
brisk west wind sprang up and famed
the burning underorush and hemlock
timber into one solid mass of
fire covering stretch OF 3 miles
In width. The people who were
almost exhausted from fighting the
flames were forced TO flee for their
lives The flames spread so rap
idly that the people had to
leave everything and run to the
clearing miles distant. Women
with children In their arms, shrieking
and bemoaning their fate, ran and
stumbledas they escaped from the fire.
Many women fell exhausted and were
trampled on, but reached high land In
safety. Nothing is left of the once
hustling little place.
Coon run, miles from Russell City,
which was burned on Monday, was
almost entirely oblterated. The
place consisted Of twenty-seven build
ings, pump station, schoolhouse
and sawmill. A. Ii. Fowler,
superintendent of the Northern
company, says while he and his men
were at work ''baclS-fring" stiff
breeze from the west came up and
soon the FIRE was upon them. They
ran to the town and aroused the peo-
pie.
Men, women and children made q
wild race for the railway track, a
distance OF miles, while the flames
played havoc with all their belongings
and the Northern company lost
forty old oil-well rigs at this place and
a large number of new rigs that had
been built for new wells. About TWEEN
ty-iive tanks of oil were consumed and
lent energy to the flames. The Elk
Oil company is also heavy loser

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June A great
storm, amounting in places to water
spout, swept over southern Minnesota
Saturday night, doing much damage
TO crops and wrecking good many

ties In New York.
NEW YORK. June 5.--A cool easterly
breeze sprung up shortly after 3 o'clock
Monday afternoon, and, it is hoped,
put an end to the hot weather for n
season, AT least. FOR Eve days tbs ine;-
curry has ranged from 20 TO 05 above
zero and sweltering humanity has
longed ia vain for n breath OF fresh
air. Ambulance bells have iung and
surgeons have been kept busy attend
ing persons in all parts of the city who
have been overheated.
Not only have the records been
broken for May 30 and 81 and June /,
9 and 5, but n much more important
record has been smashed. This is
grand total of five record breaking
days in succession. Never before in
the history of the local weather de-
partmcnt has anything of this nature
occurred.
1t Is safe to say that at least twenty
five persons have died during the last
five days as a result of the heated term
and that over $50 have been Frustrated
and taken 20 the different hospitals Of
the city. A good many Of those taken
to the different public institutions will
not recover.
