The fire WAS kind1ed on a field used for
athletic purposes by students of the IN

tion. President Mendenthal forbade the
students to make bonfire. They said
that as students they obeyed and refraincd; (;
but as private citizens, rejoicing on just

a proper place at suitable time and that e
did no harm. The president was unable
to make this fine distinction between the

To invite zoo lads, some Of whom had

easy and effectuai way OF getting rid

Seattle. Wash, Sept 26.-The first au-
thentic news concerning Washington's
new Eldorado near Mount Baker, and how
to get there. is brought to Seattle by K.
w Saportas, president of the information
and registry. who with Frank Crydo and
Gus Wagner, experienced miners of Daw-
son city, went to the scene of the latest
excitement last Saturday. According to
Mr.. Saportas, the route is passable and
not very difficult until within FIVE miles OF
the find The last five miles, however,
present obstacles that would forever dis
courage any one not an experienced PROS
pector and mountaineer.
There is in Mount Baker and it's sur
rounding nights enough gold, says Mr..
Saportas, to keep prospectors busy for the
next ten years. In samples of ore that
were brought back by the informant, Mr..
Bogardus, the assayer by a cursory in
spection, declared that free gold existed in
exceedingly good quantities.
II met many men," continued Mr.. Sapor-
tas, "who came from Mount Tomohoy
(Tomboy), and they all reiterated the sto-
ries concerning the discovery of dirt that
will run $4,000 to the ton, made in Bear
mountain, IN Tomohoy, and several 9th
ers have found ore equal to the discovery
in Bear mountain.
A special correspondent of the Evening

later the robber climbed over the tank
and, at the point of a pistol. compelled the
engineer to Apply the brakes. Three 9TH

started west. The robbers sat on the tank
and ordered the engineer to keep her
moving.
Not until the train reached Moorhead

the yellow fever districts:
From Atlanta, Ga, DR.. Sawtelle reports
that there were no yellow fever suspects
on the trains which arrived to-day, and
there are no suspicious cases in the city.
The two suspects now in the detention
camp prove to be all right.
DIR. Glennan, at Mobile, reports that
there were five new cases there to-day,
but no deaths. The pressing need of in
spectors of freight disinfection at Mont
gomery and Thomaston is urged by Sur
geon Glennan, and he requests authority
to appoint three. He adds that If the
New Orleans baggage is labeled disinfect-
ed like that of Mobile, it will not be de-
tanned near Atlanta.
Surgeon Kallech at Cairo, ILL.,, reports
that the temperature of all the cases on
the government dredge boat Alpha were
normal iris morning. Those cases in the
marine hospital win be discharged to-
morrow That in st. Mary hospital has
already been discharged as well.

there is no yellow fever at Tallelulah and
Delhi, La, where he was sent to investi-
gate certain suspicious cases of sickness.
There is a case of yellow fever at Califor-
MIA, the patient being the wife of physi-
clan. The infection is traced to Edwards,
Miss. The case is a mild one and the pa
tient will be well in a few days. The set
tlement is small and secluded and there

beatlngs they have received.

xais of the Tirah country a a council held
at Bagh, have decided to resist the British
advance. They have sent a message to
Gholam Hyder Khan, the Ameer's from

Advices from the Samana district are
favorable. The severe defeats suffered by
the enemy in their attacks upon Fort Gu
lstan and Fort Lockhardt have disheart-
ened the Alkhels and other Orakzans in
the Khanki valley. They have sent mes
sage to the commander at Fort Guistan,
Offering TO make terms of submission and

gress, which begins on Tuesday, indicate
the largest attendance in the history of
the congress.
The interest shown in these gatherings
by western statesmen makes it evident
that action will be taken by the conven-
tlon looking to a radical departure from
present methods of agriculture in the semi
arid regions of the west. While irrigation
and it's benefits will be the main subjects
of discussion, 1t is possible that congress
will go further and enter into considera-
ton of financial and economic subjects.
Tomorrow will be an exceedingly busy
day for the local executive committee.

Madrid, Sept. 26.-The arrival of United
States Minister Woodford from San Sc
bastian has made a sensation.
The programme of the United States has
been ascertained. This does not contem-
plate a declaration of war If Spain re-
an ostentatious proclamation to the world
of disapproval of the Cuban regime by sus-
pending diplomatic relations with Spain
and Withdrawing the United States minis
ter.
Gen Woodford has declined to be inter-
viewed on the subject further than to say
that his conference with the Duke of Te-
tuan, the foreign minister, was of the
most satisfactory character. The unex-
pected bitterness of the press and of pub
lie opinion has painfully impressed him,
but he hopes this will soon be allayed, as
he believes his mission favorable 10 Span
ish interests. and cannot comprehend that
Spain could reject mediation designed to
end an impovershing war. He has not
named a time at which the war must be
terminated, but he hopes as the result Of
his tenders, that II will be ended quickly.
He believes the war is inhlcting incal-
culable loss on the United States. and
that it is impossible TO prevent the or
ganization of flibustering expeditions. I'm
usual measures were taken to protect Min
lister Woodford on his journey from San
Sebastian to this city but the trip was
quite uneventful A party Of gendarmes,
commanded by a sub-lieutenant guarded
the Southern express on which he was a
passenger. Secret police were posted at the
station, and the prefect OF police was in
waiting TO escort him to his hotel. The
drive through tho streets was marked by
no special incident, though several people
saluted him, receiving a bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister WcodfOrd's family has
not accompanied him. but remains on The
French frontier Minister Woodford ex-
plains that his party is a large one, re-
quiring o commOdiOus home, and prefers
spending a pleasant October at Biarritz,
until a suitable residence can be secured
here The legation cannot be used as a
residence.
Gen. Woodford has already engaged a
box at the Royal Opera house, and has
purchased horses.

prime minister of Austria ana Herr Wolff,
a member of the Reichsrath. and one of
the leaders OF the German national party,
fought duel here yesterday with pistols.
Count Badeni was wounded in the arm.
London, Sept. 27.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says this
morning:
The duel between Count Badenl, the
Austrian premier, and Dr. Wolff. the Ger
man nationalist leader has caused the
widest sensation. 1t arose out OF the riot
Gus scenes at the opening Of
the Reichsrath, when Count
Badenl with aims crossed and
head on his breast, listened unmoved
by the clamor and gestleulations OF the
German party His attitude was most
irritating The whole left formed a threat
enlng group around him, conspicuous
among them being the great, lean face Of
Wolff, as he pressed forward, and thrust
his fist into Count Badenrs face saying:
IF this is your policy. it is miserable CHI
eanery Some declare that Or. Wolff
called him a Polish pig. He was pulled
back by his colleagues, but continued ut
tering menaces.
EARLY on Friday Count Bedeni sent his
seconds TO DR. Wolf, who accepted the
challenge. The premier sent a telegram
to the emperor, asking permission TO Tight
the duel, and at the same time rendering
his resignation. In reply he received rot
only permission to fight, but also the I'M
perial approval Count Badeni then made
his Will, after which he spent the evening
at the Jockey Club and a pleasure resort.
His wife and family knew nothing about
the affair until the duel was over.
The combatants met at the military rid
ing school Count BHdenis seconds were
Marshal Count UXkull-Gyllenbald. com
manding the Vienna garrison, and Col.
Resch, a former adjutant of the emperor.
DR.. Wolff's seconds were two German
deputies. The conditions of the duel were
three shots at twenty-five PAGES. At the
first discharge the permiers ball struck
the ground hfty PAGES from his anlago-
mist. the latter's ball struck Count Badenl
In the right arm He staggered back to
his chair, and was then taken home
where the ball was extracted. There are
no symptoms Of fever, and Count Badeni
is conducting affairs as usual.
1t is thought as the premier has set
the example with the emper0r's approval,
there win be "A serious epidemic Of duel

that Count Badeni is liable to imprson-
