Fall of Ten Degrees in Temperature
 Hard on Soldiers

hofu on sOid1ers.
 Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point. l.. l., Sept. 1.-The fall of ten degrees in the temperature, which was predicted by the signal service came last night and before midnight the whole camp companied by high wind, and for sev- eral hours during the night there seem- ed to be some danger that many of the tents would blow down, but they with stood the storm, which moderated to- wards morning. Up to noon to-day there was not much sunshine, and the raw air was keenly felt by the soldiers who have spent several months in the tropics. However, bright sunshine pre- vailed all afternoon and a gentle breeze blew from the sea. The first three trains that arrived this morning brought a large number of Sunday vis- itors from New York

THE ARMY INTERPRETATION.
No Statement to Status of the Com.
 mission.

No Statement as to Status of the Com-
 mission.
 Washington, Sept. 11.-At the White house no statement was made tonight as to the status of the commission to inquire into the administration of the army bureaus, although it was under stood that most of the men invited by the president to serve on the commits sion had been heard from. Some of them, however, had written that they had the matter under consideration and it was thought to be desirable to await final conclusions by all of those asked to serve before making any announce ment. It appears to be accepted among high officials that General Gorden, Mr. Lamont and MT Lincoln are not likely to accept. The two ex-secretaries of war are very busy men, and it is thought to be hardly possible that they can spare the time for the work of the commission.
 It was reported tonight that MT. La- mont's declination had been received, but this failed of confirmation. The opinion was expressed by high officials that General Manderson, Colonel Sex ton and Dr. Keene might stay. As stated, however, some of the men have written that they had taken the matter under advisement, and there is consid- erabe doubt what the result will be. The war department had a compara- lively quiet day, although the adju- tant generals office was open. General Corbin made his usual call on the pres ident tonight to submit the develop ments of the day, but he said that they were of an unimportant matter. There are no more volunteer troops at Mon- tauk Point, eleven regiments of regu- lars being the only troops remaining, except those detained in the hospitals General Corbin says that Camp Wikoff has practically completed the service for which it was established.

ARIzON.A TOWN ABOUT DEsTRoYED
Loss of Over S1 ,OOO, O,OOO-Eleven Bodies
 So Far Recovered

Loss of Over S1 ,OOO, ,OOO Eleven Bodies
 So Far Recovered.
 Prescott, Ariz., Sept. 1.-The town of Jerome, near here, was about con- pletely wiped out by fire this morning, entailing loss of nearly $1,000, 900 in property. Eleven bodies have so far been recovered, while a score or more are said to be in the ruins or missing The fire originated in a cabin and spread rapidly. The fire was confined exclusively to the business portion of the town and the open space interven- ing between it and the works of the United Verde company saved the latter's plant, otherwise the loss and suffering would have been terrible. Many people from Jerome are arriving here in special trains while those re- maining are being cared for by the company.
 The area of the fire was confined to a narrow gulch and ravines leading to it, in which were located substantial wooden and stone buildings, the latter melting rapidly before the flames as pasteboard. Over 150 residences, aver- aging in value $2,000, and stores, sa- looms, etc., of all kinds are wiped out, in short not a single house remains. The only building to escape was the Methodist church. The number of people who are homeless is placed at 1,5OO, and they are being cared for by the mining company. Two special trains left here tonight for the scene of the disaster carrying tents and pro- visions. The loss is complete, but lit- tie insurance being written in the town owing to the inadequate water supply. The United Verde company is now caring for the sufferers until other ar- engagements are made.
 The cabin in which the fire originated was the scene of drunken carousal last night, and while no demonstrations are yet being made against the men who are responsible for it, it is believed that attention will be given to them later. They are said to be Italians. Various parties are no wendeavoring to extrjcate the remains from the ruins, and until the ground cools sufficiently to permit rescuers to approach the de- bris 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 the time and are unaccounted for. The fire started at o'clock in the morning and spread with such rapidity that in less time than two hours not a house in a radius that was covered by five blocks was left standing.

BAY STATE SOLDIERS EN ROUTE.
Passed Through Here Last Night on
 Way to Camn Meade.

The Fifth Regiment Massachusetts volunteer infantry passed through New Haven last night en route to Camp Meade, near Harrisburg, Pa. The regiment has been in camp in South Birmingham, Mass, for about eleven weeks and most of the men were very glad of chance to move. One private, though, did not want to go. He thought that if there was no need of the ser vices of the regiment in war it should be mustered out. When New Haven was reached last night this private, whose name is said to be Marshall, de- cided to skip, and so he broke through the guard and went into the depot. A sergeant and detail of four men were sent to bring him back. He refused to go back and the detail was finally obliged to drive him into a car at the point of their bayonets
 The regiment consists of 1900 men and is under command of Colonel Whit ing of Boston, who is state detective in Massachusetts. The train carrying the regiment was in four sections, the first of which reached New Haven about 8 o'clock. The other sections came in at intervals of a few minutes and a stop of about an hour was made here, while coffee was served to the men from the depot restaurant. More than 125 gallons were served. A large number of people gathered at the sta- tion to see the soldier boys, none of whom were permitted to leave the cars except those detailed to provost duty and to carry coffee. A large number of girls went alongside the cars and talk ed with the boys. Every girl wanted a hardtack cracker as a souvenir and judging from the number given away some of the boys will be obliged to go hungry at breakfast time this morning.

Twenty-one Millions Of Candles,

In St. Nicholas there is an article
entitled "a Giant Candle" by w. s.
Harwood, describing one Of the sights
of the Stockholm Exposition. Mr..
Harwood says:
1t seems strange in this day of cleo
tricity that there can be found in q
part of the world where civilization
has gone a people who are so generally
given over to candle-light as are the
inhabitants Of Sweden. In one year
one firm in Sweden manufactures, for
the trade of Sweden almost exclusively,
twenty-one millions of candles of all
sizes, from two or three inches in
heig hit up to seven feet. In spite of
the introduction Of electricity into the
cities, the people keep using candles,
and they even seem to think them .
necessary part of their household ef-
fects.
During the weeks from the latter
part of May to the first of July you
will rarely find any one during tho
night using an artificial light of any
kind, for the nights are almost as
bright as day. If you choose to stay
up all night during the period of long
est days, You can read the finest print
with ease at any time in the twenty
four hours, and you can make photo
graphs, if you so wish, all the night
long, with capital results. Up in lap
land, as late as the twenty fifth of July,
! had excellent results in making pho
tographs at twelve O'Clock at night,
and ct one and two o'clock in the morn.

one case when gave even too much
