Every one of them deserves unstinted

less than a full measure for that days

nothing more cruel than a depreciation
of the merit of the faithful, devoted
patriotic COMMUNICATIVE chief, physically
frail, worn with sleepless vigil, weighed
with measureless responsibilities and

weeks with ceaseless precaution block
aiding the Spanish squadron; at last, by
the untiring fulflment Of his plans,
crushing 1t under the fleet which ex-
ecuted his command, yet now compelled
In dignifed silence to be assailed as
vindictively as If he were an enemy.
1 am sure that no one deprecates such
an attack more than the officers of the
fleet commodore, captains and all.
Among them is peace; whatever dis
quiet there may be elsewhere, the navy
is serene. am reminded of Mrs. Beech

Capt. Clarke Invalided

Washington, Aug. 6.-Captain Charles
E. Clarke, commander Of the Oregon.
has been invalided home. The news of
the captains illness came as a shock to
his Washington friends in and out of
the navy who followed With intense in
terest his trip from San Francisco
around the horn to Florida, and noted
with added interest his conduct of the
oregon in the battle with Cervera's
squadron.
Define information concerning his i'll
ness is not obtainable at the navy de-
partment. Secretary Long said that
Captain Clarke had been granted leave
of absence on account Of sickness. but
that he had no knowledge of how sick
he was or from what disease he was
suffering. 1t is believed at the navy de-
partment that Clarke is suffering from
a climatic affection induced probably by
the tremendous strain under which he
has been for months.

Best Portion of Bismarck Wiped Out
Last Night by Fire.

Last Night by fire.
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 9.-Fire de-
stroyed the best portion of the city Of
Bismarck last night, licking up hum
dreds of thousands of dollars worth Of
property. The flames originated in the
agents office of the Northern Pacific
depot. Almost before they were dis
covered the entire building and the i'm
mense warehouse of the company were
in flames. Oils and powder contributed
fuel, and before the flames could be
checked they had spread to the block
of brick buildings across the alley, de-
stroying The Tribune Office and an en-
tire row of buildings
The flames then leaped the street to
the magnificent First National bank
building, which melted away in few
minutes. The Central block followed
and the flames spread to the postoffice.

devoured Kupitz's store and the greater
part OF the block The flames also
spread north into a residence block and
completely destroyed it. Every drug
store in the city is burned, and all the
groceries but two or three; also two
newspaper offices and the great bulk Of
the business portion of the city, with
several blocks of residences. Many
people are homeless. The Sheridan

ALI HAD RAIN.
Showers Last Week of Great Benefit to
Drought suffering Regions.

showers Last W eek OF Great Benefit to
Drought Suffering Regions.
Boston, Aug. 9.-Rain, generally in the
form of showers, fell in all sections Of
the district, relieving the drought. In
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut showers were frequent, in some
parts of daily occurrence; they were
often attended by high winds and hail,
injuring grain tobacco and fruit Rain
is much needed in Maine. The showery
weather and little sunshine have been
unfavorable to haying, and the unse-
cured portion of the crop has suffered
accordingly. Harvesting. ana farm
work generally have been delayed by
cloudy weather and showers.
Grain, with few exceptions, is in a sat
isfactory condition. oats and barley
are in process Of harvesting in parts Of
all the states; the quality and yield are
up to the average. Corn promises a good
crop; it is mentioned that it is a week
to 10 days late in many sections: in others
local storms with high winds damaged
the crop. AS a whole the crop is good
and practically assured.
There are orchards in parts OF all
states with good crops of apples, but the
majority are poor. In not a few in
stances there is no fruit at all. Pears
are fairly plentiful. The reports from
Connecticut are favorable to grapes.
Berries are good and fairly plentiful.
The general opinion favors an average
crop Of cTanberries. though the season
is hardly sufficiently advanced to ex-
press a positive opinion.
Garden vegetables of fine cuaIft,- -.
plentiful without exception. Early po-
tatoes suffered more or less from dry
weather. This portion of the crop is
probably less than the average. though
the tuhcrs are generally large and Of
excellent quality. The late crop is with
very few exceptions in good condition.
In parts of New Hampshire and Yer
mont, and some of the southern sections
of the district whore drought in the
earlier part of the season injured the
crop, the recent rains have been of great
benefit improving the crop and saving
many fields, so that fair yield may vet
result. Rust and blight prevail to some
extent, especially in the southern half
of the district, but there seems little
likelihood of serious or extensive dam
age. The vine crops are good. In the
vicinity of Brattleboro the cucumber
crop, which is OF much value for picking
at the factories, is large.

st. Johns, Aug. S.-Captain Major of
the Virginia Lake from Labrador ex-
presses the belief that some ship has
been sunk in the straits of Belle Isle.
Reports to that effect, he says, are cur
rent along the whole northern coast of
the island, beside which a quantity of
deals, cheese boxes and other wreck
age has drifted ashore at Flowers cove,
near the scene of the reported disaster.
Captain Major is surprised that more
wrecks are not reported, because the
fog in that region has been the heaviest
known for 30 years, continuing for IA
days, during which time not a sight of
the sun has been obtained. On July
80 an Allan line steamer with 500 pas
sengers aboard was almost ashore at
Battle harbor and on Tuesday last two
others liners were in great danger off
Chateau.

London, Aug. 6.-An interesting piece
of news has just transpired. Ten days
ago Sir Thomas Upton visited Marlboro
house and presented the Princess of
Wales with check for 100000 to start
dining rooms in London at which work
ing people may secure substantial meals
for from two to eight cents. There will
be a central dining room capable of
accommodating 1000 people simultane-
ously. 1t is expected that from 5000 to
10000 DINNERS will be served there daily.
The trustees, of which the Princess Of
Wales will be one, will shortly be APP
pointed to manage the project, which
will be known as the Alexandra trust"

MISS McCoBB's LECTURE ON NAN
SEN.


The South Berwick Independent says
of Miss McCobb's s.cture on Nansen to
be given at First Universalist church
tonight:
Miss Mary McCo5b of Portland gave a
lecture on Nansen in the vestry of the
Congregational chorch in South Berwiclz
last Tuesday eyeEing Miss McCobb is
an ardent observer of the plucky explorer
in tho Arctic realms. One could not
listen to her glowing and brilliant STORY
of that man and not himself grow en-
thusiastic as he Iietened. She made the
real hero of the North Pole stand out so
wildly that one could fairly see him and
hear him talk. We, who heard her, were
delighted with tho enthusiastic admlra-
ton that she has for the bold Norwegian,
and the bright and glowing way in which
she told her story, or rather his story. 1t
was q rich treat, almost as good MS hear
ing hansen himself. We were all sorry
enough when the voice of the speaker
ceased and the lecture was done.
