THE FOREST FIRES
R ging About Davis With Greater
Violence Than Ever, and the Loss
viii Exceed Half a Million Dol
lars Many Persons May Be Driven
From Home.

Davis, w. Va, May 17.-All day long
hundreds of men from all sections have
bravely, but Intellectually, fought the
forest fires which, at seven o'clock to-
night. after continuing for forty hours,
are, if possible, burning more liercely
than ever.
Lumbermen who, this morning, esti-
mated the probable loss at 100000 now
state that amount has been exceeded
and are unwilling to make any further
predictions of the loss. The Middle
Fork tract is completely wiped out, the
adjoining forest is now burning, with
indications that the entire county in
Guiding the towns and villages. will be
devastated unless rain prevents. The
weather is still dry, the high. shifting
winds continue and the atmosphere is
sitting with the smoke and heat. The
women and children from the noun
tain villages are tonight arranging to
leave their homes to take refuge in the
larger towns. AS the fire started in sew
eral places at the same time, from no
known cause, it is now thought to have
been the work of incendiaries, Who
were prompted by revenge against the
new owners.
As far as known no lumbermen or
other citizens have been caught in the
forests.

IRE OFF FOR MOSCOW.
The Gar and Czarina Left St. Peters
burg Yesterday
For the Scene Of the Coronation.
The Special Train the Most Mag
niflcent Ever Constructed ALI
the Arrangements Upon the Most
Splendid and Costly Scale-The
Czar's Birthday To-Day.

st. Petersburg, May 17.-The Gar
and Czarina, with their infant GEuSn-
ter, the Grand Duchess Olgo Nicol-
aievna, accompanied by numerous
suite and by the whole OF the imperial
household, took their departure this
evening at five o'clock for Moscow. The
August ceremony of the coronation OF
the Gar and Czarina and the fetes
which precede and follow that event,
will fill up the time constantly from
now until June 7th, which is the date
fixed upon for the return of the imper-
ial party to ST. Petersburg.
The train which carries the lmpeAal
pair to the ancient capitol of Holy Rus
sia was especially built throughout for
this journey, and is said TO be the finest
that ever rode on rails. The appoint
ments and finish of it are On
A SCALE OF NIAGNIFICENCE
in harmony with everything else con-
nected with the coronation, for which
the most lavish eXpediture has not been
spared. even for the minutest details.
No speed record is attempted with the
imperial train, the safety and comfort
of the august inmates being the sole
consideration. All traffic ceased over
the line before che departure of the
train from here, and no other wheels
than those of this train VIII run at the
same time on the tracks between here
and Moscow. The line between ST. Pet
ersburg and Moscow runs almost IN
straight line for the four hundred miles.
II is related that when the engineers
designated to build the line appealed
TO the Car for his orders regarding the
route, he placed a ruler upon the map
and
DREW A STRAIGHT LINE
between the two cities, thus solving the
engineering difficulties with an auto
cratic hand.
To-day the four hundred miles of the
line are guarded by double guard OF
soldiers. Every detail of the journey
and of the ceremonies in Moscow have
been arranged for months, an army Of
officials having been engaged upon the
work in this city, amid much stir and
excitement. and also intense anxiety.
To facilitate their work, wooden mod
els were constructed of all the various
buildings at Moscow in which the
more important ceremonies will be
enacted, exact in every proportion and
relation, so that the programme of the
coronation has been precisely arranged
and gone through with
IN MINIATURE.
The arrival of the Car and Czarina
at the Petroysky Palace, outside Mos
COW, is timed for tomorrow, which is
the anniversary of His Majesty's birth
day. This will be celebrated tomorrow
at the Petrovsky Palace, where their
majesties will remain until Thursday,
May u, the date fixed for the triumphal
entry of the Car into Moscow, which is
to be one of the most imposing spec
tacles in all the cermonies attendant
uDOn the coronation.

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
Washington, d. c., May 1.-THE
twelve delegates from West Virginia to
the ST. Louis convention are claimed for
Mckinley in the bulletin which General
Grosvenor, of Ohio, issued tonight in
behalf of the Ohio candidate. He now
claims that Mckinley has 592 Of the
91S delegates TO the convention. and
asserts that if there is a completed roll
call at the convention Mckinley will
get six hundred votes. Another signi-
ficant claim made by Grosvenor is that
Mckinley will control twenty-nine
State delegations for the election for
members of the Committee on Creden-
tials at St. Louis.
The bulletin contains defense Of
McKinley's refusal to speak out on the
money question and denounces those
who are trying to get an expression
from him as a conspiracy of bosses and
Democrats. 1t declares that Mckinley
will respond to the platform adopted at
st. Louis, but will not try to make a
platform.

Washington. d. c., May 17.-Many of
the members of the Supreme Council of
the American Protective Association
have left for their homes, but over
hundred yet remain to finish up the
business tomorrow, which includes the
election of the remainder of the SUI
preme officers and the selection of a
place for holding the next annual meet
ing. There seems now TO be no longer
any doubt that the next convention will
be held here, and there is talk OF an
amendment to the constitution to be
proposed at the gathering in 1897, pro-
viding for the holding of the yearly ses-
sions in this city. Where the parent
body of the order locates, it seems
reasonably certain that the Women's
American Protective Association will
establish permanent headquarters. The
women's association holds its next an
nual meeting in this city in October.
After the final adjournment the next
executive board, which consists OF the
first six of the newly elected supreme
officers, will meet and audit the ac-
counts of the past supreme officers, and
outline the work and policy OF the or
der for the ensuing year.
The Mckinley matter is still the up
permost talk among the hold-over dele
gates. Several strong adherents OF the
Ohio candidate are angry at the tenor
of the report and the fact of its pub
lication.
Some few of the Democrats among
the delegates find fault with the advis-
ory boards report because it mentions
only Republican candidates for the
Presidential nomination as being
worthy of the support OF the A. P. A.

Was Widespread - Late Reports viii
show Many Killed.
Concordia, Kas., May 17.-Another
cyclone visited North Central Kansas
this Aternoon. Ii is impossible TO
gather the details because the tele-
graph wires on the Missouri Pacific
and Grand Island railroads are down.
The cyclone started in the northern part
of Clay county, seven or eight miles
south of the town of Palmer. and passed
In a nCrtheasterly direction through
Riley county. and into Marshall and
Nehdma counties. II crossed the Blue
river at the junction of the Missouri
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads and
passed near the town of AXtell. The
little hamlet OF BOdaville. in Riley
county, was entirely swept away. To-
night several are reported killed and
many injured. but nothing can can be
learned definitely.
AT Spring Valley, some six miles
south Of Barnes. the storm demolished
a church in which one hundred and fifty
people we're WOTshipping. Many We're
injured. The pastor, Rev Mason. was
BADLY hurt Surgical aid was asked for
from Barnes and neighboring towns.
The storm formed about five o'clock.
almost in the track of the one that Wis
tied this section three weeks agO. The
cyclone was followed by a heavy hail
and rain storm and great damage was
done 10 crops.
The valley Of the Blue river in Mar
shall county is one of the richest in the
State. and thickly populated. It is eX-
pected that reports in the morning will
tell of the death of many persons and
the destruction of a great deal Of
property.

SPANISH CROPS POOR
And Immense Loss and Much Suffering
VIII Result

Washington, d. c., May 17.-Coming
Immediately upon the severe drain of
resources caused by the Cuban rebel
lion. the Spanish people have now to
face the prospect of an almost total loss
of the wheat crop. caused by drought
and insects. United States Consul
Burke, at Malaga, writes TO the State
Department that new insect pest as de-
structive to wheat as the phyloXerra is
to the grape, has ravaged the crops in
several provinces, while owing to a
severe drought, not only will the entire
wheat crop be a total failure, but there
will be a shortage of every other crop
of grain. The poor are suffering much.
and unless the rain comes the wine and
fruit crops will become a total loss, and
great suffering and want will prevail
throughout the whole country. Efforts
will be made to have the government re-
duce or remove the import grain duties.
and heavy imports must be made dur
ing the current year.
