FOREST FIRES

Threaten the City of New Westminster,
B. C.-WorId's Premium Wheat Fields In
Danger.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ga special
to the Call from Vancouver, b. c.,
says:
Bush fires are raging with unabated
fury in the mainland of British Co
lum bia. New Westminster is sur
rounded and, as fremen cannot be at
all places at once, it is feared some
part of the city will be destroyed by
the oncoming flames in spite of them.
AT the Burlaby city limits, at Eighth
avenue, at the Sapperton city limits
and on the Pitt River high road,
flames are reaching out to the city
from every part of the compass, and
should rain not come and wind spring
up in the wrong direction nothing can
save portions of the city from being
destroyed.
The long-suffering farmers of the
lowlands of Westminster district met
yesterday IN large numbers and de-
cided to unite in petitioning both the
provisional and federal governments
to deepen and dyke the river. The
most prominent speakers stated that
this must be done or all ranches along
the valley subject to floods would be
abandoned to the tax collector. AS
wheat grown on this land took first
prize, with all the world in competi-
ton, at the Worlds fair, such sequel
TO the floods would be disastrous to the
whole province

well Lovee In the Drawing Room of this
SfeamshIP st. Louis at Southampton.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-M Hung Chang,
special ambassador of the emperor of
China, with his suite, left at nine
o'clock this morning for Southampton,
where he embarked on board the Amer
lean steamer ST. Louis for New York.
The ambassador and the members of
his suite were driven to the station in.
four royal carriages. A large number
of friends gathered around the railway
car ocCupid By the distinguished China
man, and remained until the train moved
away. Ii Hung Chang shook hands
and conversed with every body In the
group Just before the train started
Ii Hung Chang lighted a long, silver
tubed pipe, which he began putting
with evident satisfaction. As the train
steamed away he was still smoking, at
the same time responding to the fare
well cheers of his friends, waving his
hands.
When Ii Hung Chang and his party
arrived at Southampton they immedi-
ately went on board the steamer st.
Louis, which became the scene of a
gathering of a most genial character.
The drawing-room of the st. Louis was
converted into a great reception hall,
and the Chinese ambassador held a
levee which lasted some time. Indeed,
it is not within recollection that any
visitor to England has received SO
grand send-off The mayor of South
ampton and the local dignitaries made
farewell speeches, all of which were
addressed to the Chinese statesman.
and as the steamer was leaving her
dock the ambassador and his party
were cheered by thousands of people
who had gathered on the wharf to bid
good-by to the visitors. The weather
was clear and sunny.

FIGHT IN A CHURCH.

A Newspaper Reporter Attacks Preacher
In Ills PuIpIt-The DeaoOns Rush TO the
Rescue, and Lively sorimmags En-
sues-The Mluister's Fearless Denuncia-
tIon Of Popular vlcOH tho Cause of the
Attack.
MACON, Ga. Aug. 24.-A sensation
was created In the leading Methodist
church in this city last night, caused
by difficulty between Rev. Alonzot
Monk, pastor of the church, and
Tilden Adamson, 8 reporter of the
Daily Telegraph.
Mr.. Adamson reported the reverend
gentleman's sermon last Sunday,
which was pronounced by the pastor
to be incorrect But at last nights
service Mr.. Monk, in his sermon, was
particularly severe on the reporter
and reflected on him in such a man
ner as to cause Mr.. Adamson to re-
sent it at the end of the sermon. Co
ing to the pulpit the young gentle
man demanded an explanation of the
preaher's remarks An exchange OK
words angered both gentlemen, where
upon they grappled each other.
Deacons of the church rushed for
ward, and an exchange of blows be-
tween them and the reporter followed.
The newspaper man stood firm and de-
Tended himself as best he could against
odds. Police were sent for. The con-
gregation was greatly excited, more
than a thousand persons being pres
ent.
Women and men stood on tip-toe to
watch the outcome of the scuffie.
Finally order was restored, but the
services were somewhat shortened by
the scene.
Mr.. Monk has been particularly
severe on the bar rooms and lewd
houses of the city, and his language
has been the topic of discussion for
week. The trouble last night is really
an outcome of his sermon on the bar
rooms of Macon. Mr.. Monk is one of
the ablest ministers in the Methodist
and while many people APP
prove his severe attack on the lower
of society, there are others
who condemn it as ill-advised and In
temperate.

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH
Said to Have Resigned His Portfolio of the
Interior Department.


WASHINGTON, Aug. GA press
association says it is in position to
state definitely and certainly that
Secretary Hoke Smith has resigned his
cabinet portfolio, and that the resig-
tion will be accepted by President
Cleveland.
For some days past shipments have
been made to Atlanta of his books
and papers, and it is learned that he
has declined to set any departmental
business to be heard by him for date
later than this month. 1t can safely
be assumed that successor will be in
charge in very short time.
After the nomination of Bryan and
Sewall it became known that Secre-
tary Smith was the only member of
the cabinet who announced the pur-
pose to support that ticket, and that
this action on his part, while not in
any way affecting his personal rela-
tions with tho other members of the
cabinet. seemed so material to him
that lie felt constrained to tender his
resignation.
The secretary declines to discuss the
subject in any way.
WAsHINGToE, Aug. 24.-Secretary
Smith had just returned from a five
mile spin on his bicycle last evening
when he was seen by the United Asso-
ciated Presses reporter He said he
had no further information to add to
that already made public about his
resignation from the cabinet

QUEER MANIA OF A sIcILlAN.
Kept q Regimen of Sculptors at Work
on Grotesque Statues.

Kept q Regimen of ScuIptors at Work
on Grotesqpe Statues.
The Sicilian prince of NalgUaneTa at
the beginning of this century was u
monomaniac of q rare description. He
succeeded to one of the largest fortunes
in Europe, his habits were stTIdious and
economical, he had no children; but,
in spite of these advantages for saving
money, he contrived to ruin himself.
The prince had fancy for grotesque
statues, with which he adorned the
stately mansion of his forefathers-
Many descriptions of the place are ex-
tant, for it was renowned through Eu-
rope in it's day. Brydone visited it and
he has left US a pleasant picture. Ap-
preaching by noble avenue, one found
the palace encircled by an 'army' OF
monsters. 'The absurdity of the
ycretched imagination which created
them is not less astonishing than it's
wonderful fertility" says Brydone.
''Some were a compound of five or six
animals which have no resemblance in
nature. In one instance the head of a
lion was set upon the neck of a goose,
with the body of a lizard, the eye of a
goat and the tail of fox. Upon the
back of this object stood another with
five or six heads and q grove of horns.
There is no kind of a horn in the world
that he has not collected, and his pleas
ure is to see them all fourishing on the
same skull"
OF such horrors there were 600 in the
avenue and the courtyard alone when
Hrydone saw the collection, and the
prince maintained a regime of sculptoTs
who were rewarded proportionately to
their success in designing new and un-
paralleled combinations. The effect up
on a superstitious peasantry may be
imagined. So serious was the agitation
that the government of Sicily threat
ened to demolish the wondrous array
several times, buta nceofValguanera
was not to be offended in those days
without the grnvest cause.
The inside of the house was eccentric
in another fashion. Here the madman
diverted himself with columns and
arches and pyramids of cups and sau-
GERS, teapots and the like, cemented to-
gether. One column, for instance,
shape familiar in bedrooms, but not
elsewhere; the shaft was teapots, with
the spouts protruding, graduated in size
up to capital of fiowerPots. The open
ings of the chimney pieces were en-
crusted in this manner, the chimney
pieces were loaded up to the ceiling, and
the magnificent rooms of the palao c
were divided by fantastic arches of the
same construction. China was rare and
fine in Sicily at that day, and most of
the pieces thus treated had great value.
The princes bedroom was chamber Of
supreme horrors. Reptiles awful be-
yond conception had their home there,
intermixed with pleasing busts and
statues which if turned, showed skelc-
ton or hideous representation Of de-
crepitude- We have never observed an
illusion to these things in modern
work of travel. Perhaps the govern
ment destroyed them at the princes
death, beggared by his mania.-London
