Washington, Aug. 23.-The statement
first published in the Cincinnati Times
Star that John r. Mclean would not in
terest himself in the Ohio democratic
convention because he was to succeed AL

as the following from Bar Harbor will
show:

the statement of the Times-Star.

A special from the Cincinnati Times
Star was reproduced in the papers here
last night that John r. Mclean would
not be represented by Chairman Dan
McConnville, Lewis G. Bernard or any
one of his former lieutenants who are at
this convention, and the reason for his
not taking part was said to be due 10 the
report that John r. Mclean is TO sue

FIERCE FOREST FIRES RAGE.
Destroying Forty Square Miles of
Woods in California.

Pasadena. Cal, Aug. 2O.-The fire in
the mountains is already twice as great
as that of July, and is still gaining. 1t
has held its own for six days and has
devastated territory 40 square miles in
extent.
Tonight the flames are gaining Roadway
every hour. They are preying upon the
best waterheads of the San Gabriel reser-
walton, and it is almost appalling to think
OF the ruin they may wreak. The men
who are fighting the fire will work all
night.
A call for reinforcements has been made
and desperate endeavor will be made
to protect the San Gabriel canyon, Eat
on's canyon and the Tejunga, all of which
are endangered.
The 40 miles of woods overwhelmed in
ruins can not be summed up in dollars
and cents. as they are inaccessible. but
hundreds of thousands of dollars would
be required to represent its worth to this
valley as a conservator of moisture.

The states white pine land case still
remains in an unsettled condition. The
state land board seems to have decided
that all they had to do was to refile on
the same land, and Attorney General Me
Farland, who is secretary of the board,
appeared at Lewiston and offered a Sec
ond filing on the land. The land office
refused to accept the filing because the
first filing had not as yet been declared
void. Mr.. Mcfarland has appealed from
the decision of the land Office, and is
quoted as saying that his offer to file a
second time and his appeal would not
only protect the states rights, but would
also shut out the claims of the home
steaders who are contesting with the state
for the right to file on the land
The United States department of agri
culture at Moscow, says the weather O
the past week was generally favorable
in most sections for the maturing of crop
and harvesting. The days were hot anC
than usual. Harvesting progresse
in all sections; much of the fal
sown grain has been cut and stacked
and some of it threshed; the yield is abov
the average generally. Late sown grail
is ripening fast, and farmers will soon b
busy cutting and stacking the crop. Oats
barley and rye are expected to turn on
well, and at least average yields are locke,
for. Fruits and vegetables are doing well
notwithstanding the unfavorable effect
of hot dry weather. Potatoes for the mos
part are looking fine and from present in
dications the crop will be very satisfaC
tory. The second crop of lueern is bein

STARS AND STRIPES AFLOAI
AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY
rbe Fling of Hawaii No Longer Has
Place Among Nntions-t De-
scends to the Music of "Hawnif
Ponoi"-Then the "stnr spnngied
Banner"

San Francisco, Aug. 23.-The steamer
Belgic brought the following;
Honolulu, Aug. l2.-Precisely at eight
minutes to II o'clock today the Hawaiian
flag descended from the fagstaffs OF all
the government buildings, and exactly at
five minutes to the same hour the stars
and stripes hoated on the tropical breeze
from every official flagstaff.
The ceremony of today was a most inn
pressive one To hear the strains OF
s.Hawaii Ponoi" for the last time as a
national anthem, to hear the bugle blow
taps as the Hawaiian ensign sank from
its position, and to notice the emotion oi
many who had been born under it and
had lived their lives under it, was sol
emn.
But then came the bright call for rails
ing Old Glory and the strains OF the
Star Spangled Banner broke forth as
that banner was unfurled to the breeze.
Then the cheers broke forth, and eyes
which had been dim for few moments
became bright and lightened up when the
stars and stripes blew out.
AS soon as President Dole and his
cabinet came from the executive building
to the platform, the justices of the SUI
preme court followed and then Admiral
j. N. Miller and United States Minister
Harold NJ. Sewall came down the steps,
followed by Captains G. II. Wadleigh OF
the Philadelphia and S. Nj. Book of the
Mohican and their staff officers, and
Colonel Barber of the First New York
regiment.
The ceremonies opened with prayer by
Rev. G. l.. Pearson, pastor of the First
Methodist church of this city.
United States Minister Sewall then
rose, and addressing President Dole, who
had risen, presented him with a certified
copy of the joint resolution of congress,
annexing the Hawaiian islands to the
United States.
President Dole answered, acknowledge
ing the making of the treaty of political
union, and formally yielded to Minister
Sewall as the representative OF the gov
eminent of the United States the SOW
ereignty and property of the Hawaiian
islands.
Mr.. Sewall replied; "AIr. President; In
the name of the United States, l accept
the transfer of the sovereignty and prop
erty of the Hawaiian government. The
admiral commanding the United State:
naval forces in these waters will proceed
to perform the duty entrusted to him.
The municipal legislation of Hawaii
and the existing customs regulations will
practically remain in force until the con
gress of the United States shall other
wise determine. Following the reading
of the proclamation Minister Sewal
made an address, congratulating the resi-
dents of Hawaii upon the accomplish
ment of annexation.

The Engineers story.

Engineer Getchell and Fireman Holmes
of the express train both jumped. Get
chell was cut and bruised about the head.
He stated after the accident that he left
Mansfield promptly on time, and there
was no incident until he was within 400
feet of the Mansfield train. Then he saw
the red lights of that train and shut off
steam Meanwhile he had whistled for
brakes and used every effort to stop his
train.
Every one of the killed and injured was
on the Mansfield local, and the only ex-
PLANTATION of the fact that the num-
Der of fatalities is not larger is that the
passengers We're all in the forward end
of the car in the act of alighting Ut
the station.
There were about 80 people in the last
car, and most of them at the time of the
accident were either upon. the front plat
form or standing by the door.

ken from the wreck unconscious and dice
just as the special train bearing the in
jured started for Boston. Twenty-One o
the injured were taken on this train anC
four others whose names they refuse t
