Timber Destroyed.

Timber Destroyed.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Sept. 90.-FOr-
est fires are raging to an alarming ex-
tent in this section. Hundreds of
farmers are working day and night
fighting the flames. Four homes and
other buildings have been destroyed,
and many persons were seriously burn

vent serious loss. The Wisconsin Cen

almost a sea OF fire between Boyd and
Cabot. Passengers on the train say
the flames were raging fiercely on both
sides Of the track and threatening
every building within sight.
Cumberland, Wis, Sept. 9O.-Forest
fires are raging on three sides Of the
city, and there is a heavy southwest
wind The surrounding lakes will prob
ably save the city. Barrow and AL
mena are surrounded, and the latter
has telephoned here for help, stating
that the town is already on fire. The
mills have shut down, the schools are
closed and business suspended. Every
precaution is being taken to save the
city.
Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 3O.--A heavy
rain yesterday checked the timber fires
which have been burning several days.
An area of 30 miles long and six wide,
containing the best timber in the
Black Hills, has been devastated, and
the loss will amount to hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. There has been
no loss Of life so far as known.

visions. A storm arose and capsized
their small boat. When morning came
the other prospectors missed the Rhode

the searching party that was sent out
found the boat floating keel up, but no
trace of the men. The provisions and
other effects belonging to the hapless
party were cast upon the beach by the

But Governor Tanner Declares They
Must Not Aid Mine Owners.
Springfield, Ills, Sept. Ex-Governor
Tanner was called up by telephone last
evening by Sheriff Colburn, of Pana, who
said he had no further control of the
striking miners, and feared that there
would be an outbreak within a short
time, and that loss of life and blood
shed were sure to come; that he had
exhausted all his resources, and asked
that state troops be sent.
Governor Tanner promised the sher-
If that he would order troops to Pana
at once to aid in the protection Of
life and property. Captain Craig of
Battery b, of Galesburg, was ordered
to go with his men to Pana at once,
and Colonel John b. Hamilton, of FL
gin, was also ordered TO report with
two of the best equipped companies
of his Sons Of Veterans for riot duty.
Governor Tanner ordered Captain
Craig to camp within the city limits
and to protect life and property of the
citizens, but under no circumstances
should they aid the operators or mine
owners in the operating of the mines
with foreign labor, to which the gov
ernor Is very much opposed.

foreign office before the American com
missioners and awaited them there.
The American party arrived on the
stroke of 1890, and were received in
a private salon above NJ. DelCasse's
official quarters. The minister met and
greeted each American in turn, and
then presented them TO the premier,
NJ. Brisson. simultaneously Senor Cas-
tillo stepped forward to greet General
Porter, whereupon the two groups
moved together and introductions to
each other were effected by NJ. Del
casse.
After Senior Castillo and General Por-
ter had brief chat the party repaired
to the breakfast room, where Nj. Del
casse presided in the center of a long
table. After the breakfast and half
an hours further chatting the party
broke up, both commissions leaving
simultaneously with courteous adieux
The Americans regard the function
as having been a happy means of maxi
ing the two sets of commissioners ac-
quainted with each other. 1t was plan
ned with great tact by the French,
and was conducted with the utmost
discrntinn.

This, Aggravated by the Arrival OF

Executed.

Executed.
Shanghai. Sept SO-The develop
ments OF palace affairs confirm the be
lief that the emperor, by the radical
reforms which he had decreed, pre-
pared himself for the blow struck by
the dowager empress. The successive
edicts furnish a history of the trend of
affairs. The emperor's chief adviser.
KanE- Yuwei obtained unbounded in
huence over him and inspired the re-
forms. The official classes opposed
him and consulted the dowaEer en-
press as to means for nullifying these
reforms.
The current story is that the i'm
mediate cause Of the emperor's down
fall was that he appeared one day in
European clothes. This offense, II ap-
pears, was aggravated by the arrival
in China OF Marquis Ito, the japanese
statesman, which alarmed the palace
officials as fOreshadowing Japanese
domination in the empires council
Thereupon the dowager empress acted
with wonderful promptness and de-
posed her nephew before the Pekln peo-
pie were aware that she had left the
summer palace. Kang- Yuwel forsee-
ing trouble fled two days before the
crisis.
The announcement Of the emperor's
death Is expected soon, and the dow
aEer empress is likely to appoint a
fgurehead as his successor. retaining
the real power herself
Que report says the empress has
strong views regarding Russian aggres-
sion in ManChuria, and that though she
is likely to restore Ii Hung Chang to
power, she Is not likely to countenance
his Russian leanings.
