Examiner Journal transcontine en- tai bicy-
Gle relay express.

CRISIS HAS BEEN REACHED.
Bad Look to the Dispute Between
Italy and Brazil.

The recent political conflict between
Italians and Braziiians in san Paolo,
Brazil, as a result Of which there are
rumors that the Italian legation to Brazil
will be withdra wn, may have some con-
n~ection, il is believed, with the claims
which the Italian Governmenthas az ainsr
Brazil for damages inflicted on its SUBJ
jects during The late civil war in that
country. There were a large m per OF
these claims and an arrangement
was arrived at by which it was
thought they would be adjusted. A
protocol was signed containing a clause
providing that claims concerning which
the w governments could not reacl an
amicable settlement should be- referred 10
the President OF the United States for
arbitration. President Cleveland had al
ready given his consent to act as arbitra-
tor. Very recently the protocol was sub
mitted to the Brazilian Congress for its
ratification, but that body refused to agree
to 1t. and it may be that the Italian Gov
eminent has taken umbrage at its action,
following close on the political conflicts,
and will withdraw its legation.
The Italian Government has forbidden
all immigration to Brazil in consequence
of the riots there, and the cruiser Umbria
has been ordered to Rio de Janeiro.

MICHIGAN TOWN WIPED OUT
Not a Single House Left in Ontona'
pon, a City Of 1000.

Ontonagon, Mich, was destroyed by
fire Tuesday afternoon. Or a city oil
about 1000 population not a single house
is left standing. Among the property de-
stroyed is the extensive plant OF The
Diamond Match Company and 100000
feet OF lumber in us yards. A conseTVa-
tive estimate OF the loss is 81, 800. 000. No
lives have been lost at last reports. Fire
has been burning in the woods southwest
OF the city for two weeks. 1t was nearly
out, when a south west gale on tuesday
swept the flames upon the Atnoon
it was seen that the city was doomed. A
message was sent to superintendent
MIn,urn OF the ST. Paul road, at Green
Bay, asking for a train to take the i'm
periled people away. The telegraph
operator who sent the message was
driven away from his instrument by the
burning OF the building. A train was
ordered there from Pori, twenty-six miles
south. The train REACHED Ontonagon and
took a load of people 10 Rockiand, ten
miles away, and returned 10 Ontonagon
for another load. Al 5 o'clock the
flames had swept through the main
part Of the city. destroying
all the business houses, many resi-
dences, the match company's mills.
the w~aterworks. electric light plant,
court house, Jail, etc. The flames then
worked up the river TO the windward OF
the residence portion.
AT midnight the entire city was practl-
cally in ashes and 900 people are home
less, without shelter or clothing. OF tins
number 1870 are in absolate want. The
fire has swept away nearly every dwell
ing house, all store and other places OF
business and all the big mills and other
manufacturing plants.
Whether or not there has been any loss
of life could not be learned. II no one
persisted in the wave OF fire that swept
from woods to lake it is little short of a
miracle. Later estimates Of the loss place
the amount at fully a million and a hall,
with very little Insurance.
