DENVER, Col. Sept. SO.-The weather
man can offer no hope for those on the
western slope whose homes and crops are
threatened by the forest fires There are
nc indications whatever of rain, and this
seems to be the only element able to stay
the fury of the flames. Throughout Eagle
county high winds have prevailed, giving
fresh impetus to the forest fires that are
devastating the timber domain. In conse-
quence new territory is being devastated
The blaze is rapidly extending along the
grand reserves of Girard mountain west of

The fires in the mountains near here have

took place to-day. The bride is the young
woman from Greenville, o.. who came here

HEALTH OF DEwEY's SAILORS.
Not over Forty on the Sick List at
ANY One Time.


Any One Time.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Admiral Dewey
appears to have been lucky in preserving
the health of his sailors. and in that matter
he even exceeded the record of the North
Atlantic squadron. Secretary Long to-day
made public a short extract from the ad-
miral's last report treating of this subject.
in which, while dealing with the general eli
matte conditions of the Philippines for the
information of the government, he says of
the sailors and troops:
"As Luzon is the farthest north of the
large islands its climate is naturally the
most temperate. In this connection it may
be mentioned that out of a force of over
two thousand on the ships of my squadron
the number of men on the sick list at any
time has not exceeded forty, nor has there
been any considerable sickness among our
troops on shore, though they were much ex-
posed for three weeks in the trenches dur
ing the rainy season. AS matter of fact,
Manila is far from being an unhealthy city,
and the climate is as fine as that OF any
place in the tropics.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 30.-There is
going to be litigation over the printing Of
the ballots in this congressional district be-
cause the Populsts who seeded from the
Brazil convention of Aug 20, want their
candidate, who was nominated at the same
place Sept. &c. named under the emblem Of
the pillow and hammer At the first con-
vention Samuel Hamill who had been nomi-
mated by the Democrats in the convention
held in this city, received the Populist
nomination. The Populists who seeded
from that convention will now insist that
Hamill accept the Brazil nomination, and
if he do not do SO they will ask the election
boards in the seven counties to recognize
the Peoples party by placing the name of
Alexander j. Farrow a Putnam county
farmer on the ballot under the plow and
hammer. He was the nominee of the bolt
ers' convention. Under the amended cleo
ton law the name of candidate cannot
appear in more than one place on ballot.
Hamill will elect to have his name placed
under the Democratic emblem. Capt ]. Fl.
Allen, of this city, chairman of the Sc
ceders organization, says he will have pc
titions signed in each county under which
the election boards will have authority to
place Farrows name on the ballot, but
Democrats say that if his name goes on the
ballot it must be as an Independent candi-
date, and not as the candidate of the Peo-
pies party and that the place on the Peo-
pies party ticket for the name of con-
gresham must be left blank. Here will
arise the question for the courts In two of
the seven counties-Clay and Putnam-the
clerks are Democrats, and Captain Allen
expects the contest to be in those counties.
Mr. Farrow will not be in the campaign.
He is with his invalid wife at the springs
of Mount Gilead, KY. He is a graduate of
old Asbury University, and is a member of

VOTED FOR PROHIBITION.
Result of the Balloting in the Do
miniOn of Canada.

TORONTO, Ont. Sept. 9O-The majority
for prohibition throughout the entire Do
minion will not likely exceed 1900. All the
provinces except Quebec voted prohibition,
Ontario giving it a majority of about 10000.
Quebec's majority against of 10000 is just
about offset by the returns from the mari
time provinces while the returns from Man
itoba, the Territories and British Columbia
show that the West is in favor of prohibit
ton by a majority of 1000 or 5000. Even
the prohibition papers consider the majority
too small to influence the government to
attempt to enact prohibition legislation.
