The area of the fire was confined to narrow gulch and ravines leading to 1t in which were located substantial wooden and stone buildings, the latter melting as rapidly before the flames as pasteboard. Over J50 residences, 26 general merchandise and other stores, saloons, etc, of all kinds are wiped out.

They are said to be Italians
 Various parties arc now endeavoring to extrioate the remains from the ruins, and until tho gronnd cools sufficiently to permit tho reseuers to approach the debris it will be impossible to ascertain definitely the names of the victims. Several prominent mining men in the west are said to have been in the town at tho time and arc unaecounted for. It is said an entire family consisting of man and wife and three children bavo been found ill the ruins. So complete is the disaster that refugees in this city are not only penniless but are without clothing as well

MILES ORDERS BREAK
 UP CAMP WlKOfF.
This k Contrary to Orders Given by Secretary Alger, and Has Already
 Caused Much Inquiry.

New York. Sopt i3-A dispatch to The Press from Camp Wikoff says:
 Under peremptory orders from Gen. Miles. preparations are being made to break up this camp at once by sending home all soldiers here. This Is entirely contrary to the understanding of off cers in command. General Shafter said last week that 60o0 or 1000 mon would be kept here at Ieast until October, and this was supposed to have been the or der of Secretary Alger.
 An officer said that when General Miles order came telegram was sent him saying that his order was contrary to that of Secretary Alger, and General Miles replied:
 fNever mind what Alger says; I am in command now.
 That of course settled it so far as the officers here are concerned and unless General Miles ordersar countermanded next week will see the practical end of Camp Wikof
 General Bates said @My orders are to send the troops away as fast as can be arranged When asked if these or. ders did not conflict with those of Secre- tary Alger, he simply said: .'They are new orders, and in pursuance of this plan the detention hospital is being abandoned All the men i'll this hospit- al fit to travel are being sent to New York on tho Shinnock and the others are being taken to the general hospital, but there are 200 or 300 cases which can not be removed without danger D
 Strong frame buildings arc now being erected for the uso of these patients. These buildings will be finished in two or three days, and the worst cases will be moved into them. Nearly all of these are typhoid fever cases, to move which would cost frightful mortality. Major Brown said that he thought there would be about 50 cases which could not be moved for two or three weeks at least.

phe Child Population.
St. Louis Republic.

Statistics show that the percent age of children in the United States has decreased. Whether this is traceable to a short crop or to the untimely taking off of the young sters is not shown, but it IS prob able that both causes are equally responsible for the surprising re- sult.
 is well known that the propor tion of city population in the United States has increased rapidly as compared with the numbers which live in the country, and there is no doubt that the trend of Amer ican life is towards metropolitan and thickly settled communities at the expense of the rural growth in the country Whether this is a wholesome condition is question that must work it's own solution within the next decade, but it is 8 transitionnnatural in the develop ment of a people devoted by nature and training to mercaL tile pursuits.
 This growing partiality for city life is probably the cause of the pro- portional decrease in child popula- tion. City folks do not marry as early as their country cousins. The young woman in town is compara- lively independent. Mercan tile and professional pursuits are open to her and matrlmony is not the chief end of her ambitions. The excite ment and temptations of city life are not calculated to aid young men to settle down. The boarding house, the laundry and all the mod ern improvements of big cities sub stitute, if they do not supply, "all the comforts of home" He has the divorce court and the domestic scandals of everyday life to mislead him into the belief that marriage is failure. And there are other in huences, more or less bad, which prevent him from setting up home of his own.
 If he should rise superior to all the deterrent conditions and find a eongenial girl to share his lot he generally goes to live in fiat. Be fore he gets the keys Of his future home he must satisfy an exacting landlord that he has no children. He may even be required to take a solemn oath that he will never have any.
 The tyranny of the flat owner has not reached the point of requiring a wife to swear to the same thing, but there is no doubt that the spirit and atmosphere of flat life is antag- enistic 10 children. In the east. ern cities especially, the fiat fad has put severe check upon the propa gation of the race. Even the dot ing parent who rents a flat under false pretensions and smuggles tho children into their own home after dark takes desperate chances. ThC ianltor is always "agin kids l they do not fall out the upstair: windows. they run afoul of the peo pie Tn the lower flats. They inno gently ring the wrong door bell, ol drop soap bubbles upon the sub dwellers until their parents becom, the scorn of the neighborhood anC must move in selfdefense.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND THE GOV
 ERNORSHIP. .

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has dis played greater tact and more political sagacity at the present crisis than he has ever shown before, and we, hope, for his sake and for the sake of the state. that he will continue to refuse to talk about himself and his chances for the gubernatorial nomination. and to confne himself to expressions of en- thusiasm over the fighting qualities of his regiment If there is virtue enough left in the republican party of this state. to make an impression upon the sordid soul or upon the fears of MT. Thomas c. Platt, it is quite likely that Colonel Theodore RooseHelt's nom1na- tion will be forced upon the bos. We can assure MT. Platt that, whatever the result may be to him., Colonel RooSe- velts nomination and election as gov ernors would be great good to this commonwealth and a great gain to the republican party. Thousands of dem- ocrats are willing to cast their votes for Colonel Roosevelt, and we do not know of any one else likely, to receive the republican nomination who will make 50 good a run as he will make. If MT. Platt nominates Governor Black or any one of his creatures, the issue between the republican and democrat ic parties will be of really. very little importance, and the contest will once more be a question between evils that is, between Croker and Platt-and therefore the war will have done no good to the politics of this state.-Har- per'se Weekly.
