Columbia, S. c., Oct. AT a meeting

two factions of republican party here
to-day, it was determined to fuse on the
republican electoral ticket, there being
two in the field up to this time. The COM

1t Is probable that fusion will be made in
the several congressional districts by the
district conventions as each faction of
the republican party now has a candidate
in each district.

been driven back to the mountains,
the hcrders said, in some cases for hun
dreds of miles. The streams of water
and the little lakes, that are the saliva
tion of the country for grazing purposes,
were dried up. Occasionally there
would be patch for eight or ten miles
that would be unbnrned, but over the
the mounds in that rolling coun-
try there could be seen the approach
of the fire, and there was no way to
stop it.
At night the fires were especially
beautiful. The flame was never more.
than from six to eight inches high. Oc-
casionally 1T ran in straight line par
allel with the railroad for distance
of several miles. At other times it
formed crescents and circles up the
sloping sides of some extended knoll.
Again there were acute and obtuse
angles, and as the smoke rose AMI
filed the air it made it impossible to-
see clearly for more than few hun
dred yards.
In the Rocky mountains it was the
same story. Far up the peaks, close to
the limit Of the wood belt, scores OF
fires could be seen burning brislxly,
where no hunter could have left his
campfire burning. Some of the fires
in the mountains, as we'll. as some of
those on the plains, were undoubtedly
started by locomotive sparks, and some
were started by the negligence of hun-
ters who had not extinguished their
campfires on leaving for their sport,
but no one could account for the fires
far up the mountain sides.
On the Pacific slope the reporter
found scores of tourists who had
changed their routes and given up part
of their trips because of the smoke.
Seattle was in fog, and the attractive
Puget sound was as If it did not exist.
The sound Of the fog whistles on the
steamboats, was the only indication
that Seattle was seaport. All salm-
on and other kinds OF fishing was at
standstill, and the citizens were saying
that the smoke was Il most serious loss
to the industries Of the place. Down
through the beautiful and fertile val

ry, and not until the travellers were
close under the hanks of glorious
Mount Shasta in upper California,
could the towering pile be seen, All
the Cascade range was hidden, and the
superb peaks, such as Tacoma, Hood
and Adams, were as if they had not
been.
Not until the reporter had reached
the SellSirk mountains in British Co
lumbia, on his way home, did he find
the atmosphere clear. The hotel keeper
at Glacier said that the day that burst
in splendor over the peaks, on Sunday
of the second week of September, was
the first perfectly clear day that had
been seen there for two months, and at
Field. on the eastern slope of the Cam
adian rockies, the railroad officials told
the same story. Travellers, railroad
men and weather experts all along the
route that the reporter went over
united in saying that probably such an
extensive band Of smoke never before
hung over the continent. 1t practical.
ly reached from the Atlantic to the
Pacific for at least six weeks.
