TOO MANY RELATIVES.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee Says In Times of Peace
the Volunteer soldier Has Too Many
Anxious Ones at Home

New York, Oct. 4.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, interviewed in this city, said that
the Seventh army corps, of which he
is commander, would probably go to
Cuba about the last of this month. He
has Is regiments under his command
and says the general health of the corps
is excellent. Only about per cent.
have been on the sick list since they
had been encamped Mt Jacksonville.
We've got excellent water" he said
''It comes from artesian wells and pipes
are run throughout the camp, with a
spigot at the head of each company
street" When asked whether Col
William j. Bryan's regiment would
be mustered out, Gen. Lee said he did
not know. One Nebraska regiment
would be mus tered out and the choice
has been left to the governor of Ne
braska. MY corps is in fine coudi-
tion and well drilled" said Gen. Lee.
"You know when there's any fighting
going on | like the volun teers, but in
time of peace they have too many
fathers and mothers and brothers and
sisters and cousins and aunts who
want to get them out of the service"

NEW SCHEME FOR FARMERS.
Albert ). Enright, of It. Joseph, Would Or
ganIxe Tiliers of the Soil to Control
Prices OF Their Products.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Oct 4.-Albert j.
Enright, political economist, fnan-
cier and promoter, has promulgated
gigantic scheme that he confidently
believes will place in the hands of the
farmers of the country the con trolling
power now held by grain operators
and others located in the cities. He
proposes to organize all the farmers
of the United States into one mann
moth organiza tion for the purpose of
controlling the shipment of their
crops to market, thereby hoping
to maintain certain scale of
prices and create and supply the
demand at the will of the producers
His scheme is to have one man chosen
in every county to act as member of
the state organization. From each
state delegate will be selected to ma
tional convention and this body will es-
ia ablish central bureau of information
where the farmers in all parts of the
country may keep apprised of the con-
dition of the crops the demand and the
price They will be advised in certain
parts of the country when the proper
time is to ship grain, where to send
it, what quantitie and the price they
may expect therefor The price will
be regulated, Mr.. Enright claims, by
the will of the producers in making
their shipments. Mr.. Enright declares
that wheat is now selling for 90 cents
less than its value and that the crop
of 1898 is no greater than that of 1897,
which is now altogether consumed.

INUNDATED BY TIDAL WAVE.
Livery BUSINESS House I'm Brunswick, Ga,
Has Five Feet of Water Around It
Great Damage Elsewhere

Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 4.-During the
tropical hurricane of Sunday, a tidal
wave was driven in from the sea and
inundated. for an average depth of Eve
feet, practically every business house
and warehouse In the city. Conserva-
tive estimates place the property loss
at $500, 600, though when the details
are all in the figures may be consider
ably shaded either way. The Mallory
steamship and South railroad docks
were under water four feet In the
residence section of the city, the water
was from two to eight feet deep. There
was full sweep of wind and water
from the ocean into and across the
city. Two fatalities in Brunswick and
one few miles out of the city have
been reported. Those in the city
were negro children. Their parents
are missing and may have been
drowned. A few miles out of town,
Steritt Aiken, colored. was killed by
falling bricks blown from chimney.
Meager reports from the Sea islands,
on the coast, are far from reassuring.
At Jekyl island, where the club houses
of New York millionaires are situated
much damage has been done. Dix
vile, suburb of Brunswick, inhabited
by negroes, was inundated and the de-
struction is almost complete. Nolives
were lost there. Five vessels are
ashore in Brunswick harbor, two be-
ing the Norwegian barks Record and
Louise, one an American schooner and
two valuable pilot boats. On the
docks are hundreds of thousands of
feet of lumber and cross ties and
naval stores which will be washed
away. Nearly all the docks suffered
from lifting. While the water was do
ing its damage underneath the wind
was playing havoc overhead.
Several fronts of brick buildings
were blown partly out and the rain
poured through in torrents. Every
church in the city was damaged either
by water or wind. All electric wires
were Frustrated. Fires in locomotives
in and near the city were put out by
the driving sheets of water. The loss
to railroads has been considerable
from washing of tracks and injury to
terminal property. Communication
cannot be fully restored for day or
two.

WARSHIPS FOR CHINA.
The Baltimore and Petrol to Get as Near
the Chinese Capital as
Possible.

Washington, Oct. 4. Secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de-
partment showing the existence of
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
a point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for warship to approach.
The vessels selected for this undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrol.
1t is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the Talxu
forts at the entrance of the Pang-He
river upon which Pekin is situated,
but the Petrol, being of smaller pro-
portions, may be able to reach Tien-
Tsin, so miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Pekin.
The officials regret that there is not
now on the Asiatic squadron a light
draught gunboat of the Helena class
which could ascend the river as far as

GEORGE WILL NOT RUN.
nation for Governor of New York and
Gives His Reasons Therefore,


New York, Oct 4. 4.-Henry George
has declined the nomination for gov.
ernor on the ticket placed in the field
by the Chicago platform democrats.
and the committee having authority
to fill vacancies nominated Henry M.
Mcdonald, of the county of New York.
for the place. Mr.. George, in his let
ter, says that by pursuing uninterrupt-
edly the duty of writing his fathers
biography he can do more for the prin.
ciples of freedom than by engaging
actively in politics. Mr.. George con-
tiuues:
should say In justice to myself and those
who honestly advance the silver question to
the rank Of FIRST impor tance. that am no
more than my father was advocate of free
coinage. He condemned It's economic sound
ness being. in fact believer neither in gold
nor silver, but In credit or paper money He
supported the Chicago platform, not on ae-
count OF, but In spite of it's advocacy OF free
silver, because he believed that in other re-
spects 1t stood for the principles OF freedom;
because 1t took the side OF the weak against
that OF the monopolists: because It sided with
the house OF want against the house OF have
am in entire accord with those views, and
think 1t proper to state them frankly that
there may be no room for misunderstanding on
the part of anyone.
Henry M. Mcdonald, nominated in
Georges stead, is lawyer of this city,
and was formerly banker of Pierre,

WIPED OUT BY FLAMES.
Forest Fires In Wisconsin Continue Their
Devastat tation-Loss of Timber and
Farm Property Enormou.


Chippewa Falls, Wis, Oct Forest
fires which have been spreading for
days show no signs of abatement in
Chippewa and Clark counties. Outside
these two counties the fires have gen.
orally been checked by rain or have
burned everything in sight. The de-
vastated district extends through tke
counties running from Abbottsford
along the Wisconsin Central for 200
miles and north for rs or 100 miles 1t
is estimated that 500, ,0G0, 600 feet of
pine have been destroyed. Many farm
houses have been destroyed Many
hundred farms in this county alone
have lost all their buildings and grain.
Organized bands of farmers have been
trying to stop the flames, but with
little success.
Lives Lost in Wisconsin.
Rye Lake, Wis, Oct. g. 3-Relief par
ties are now out through the burned
district south and west of this city.
The loss of life from the disastrous
forest fires cannot now be estimated,
but it will be great. The work of get
ting to the burned districts is slow, as
all the bridges are down. Over 100
persons are missing. Many dead
bodies have been found and they are
burned beyond recognition.
