THE ADIRONDACK FIREa
Situation Serious but Hotels Not In Danger
Campers Fight Flames.

SARAEAo LAKE, N. Y. Aug 1a.-Without ex-
cepton the most serious forest fires that this
section has experienced In over decade Is
now injurng valuable Adirondack timber
lands and threatening village and farm prop
erty. Three weeks ago these Ares were In
their incipency. but lack OF energetic action
by the citizens has allowed their advancement
until to-day they are practically beyond con-
troll. This condition has been greatly favored
by an intense drought. The absence OF high
winds has prevented rapid advance. The
most serious condition met with by the Fire
Wardens and Game Commissioners 10 the re-
fusal OF many persons to assist in conquering
the flames owing to recent prosecution for
violation OF game laws.
Saranac Lake village Is to-day the centre OF
interest and alarm. owing to the fact that to
both the west and south. the flercest fires are
encountered. The report that some OF the
large hotels are In danger Is without founda-
ton. although the outlook at one time was
serious. Tho light wind blowing over the vii
lage has waited the smoke In dense clouds
into the town. and this has been the cause OF
much OF the alarm. Over at Paul Smiths. the
situation continues to be serious but the
hotel itself is In no danger The greatest dan
ger SO far noted lies in the inability OF the fire
fighters to control the flames near the camps
of several w-Yorkers. among them being
those Of Nathan Straus. j. W. Enrich and Rich
ard Limburger. These camps and several
others have large forces of men engaged in an
attempt to subdue the flames
This afternoon two houses on the outskirts
Of this village were destroyed In the neigh
borhood OF Upper Lake the fires are still rag
ing but are not advancing in the direction Of
the town. The fire that recently visited that
town. destroying over one hundred homes has
made the place almost desoate. The business
part OF the town. however. will be soon rebuilt.
1t il utterly impossible at this time to give any
idea Of the damage already done or the acreage
now in flames

RENNEs. Aug. 1o.-Among the curious fea-
lures OF the trial there is one that is quite
unique and which never fails to surprise and
amuse the casual spectator. Whenever there
Is few m inutes' lull on account OF inaudible or
unintercsting testimony the audience promptly
goes to sleep and 1t frequently happens that
witness testiles amid n chorus OF SHORES. It
happened early this week that two journalists
OF international reputation. while enjoy
ing quiet nap. dropped their heavy
canes with great crash on the floor.
The audience awoke startled. some jumping
to their feet. thinking in their dazed condition
that some outrage had been attempted. Since
then the gendarmes have carefully gathered
up all sticks and mbrellas. partly Of course.
to prevent their use as weapons in case Of a re-
newed outbreak Of passion similar to that OF
last Monday.
Tho explanation Of this popularity OF the
Rennes court martial is the fact that nine
tenths Of the audience is composed OF corre-
spondents. whose duties keep them abroad
until l O'Clock in the morning. They are
obliged to rise again at 8. and 1t really requires
an unbroken series OF exciting incidents In the
court to enable them to resist the overpower-
slecpiness which seizes them when interest

A Distinguished Visitor.

Gen. J. r. Wilson, delegate to con gress, arrived on Tuesday evening ant remained until this morning. Dele gate Wilson has warm spot in his heart for Gila county which gave him a very handsome majority in the cleo ton last November, The primary object of Gen. Wilson's trip was to visit the reservoir site on the Gila river, seven miles below San Carlos, which was surveyed last summer by the government hydrographic survey OTIS, under the direction of Engineers Davis and Lippencott, and recon mended by them as being far prefera- ble to the sites at the Buttes and Queens creek in Pinal county. Delegate Will son as familiarizing himself with the subject, that he may make a more i'm telligent and cogent presentation of the matter to congress when that body meets in December.
 The San Carlos site presents many advantages; bed rock was found there at depth of 40 feet in solid blue gran ite, and the dam at the base would be only 60 feet in length. A dam ll0 feet in height would give a reservoir area of 240,0O0 acre feet, and would inn pound water enough to supply 50,OO0 acres on the Sacaton Indian reserva- ton and reclaim besides all the desira- ble land in the Casa Grande valley. The cost of the enterprise would be in the neighborhood of s3,000, 1000, but there is little doubt that 1t would be a paying investment.
 As the government has collected $31S, 900, 900, proceeds of the sale of public lands, mostly in the west, it would seem as though congress would be doing the fair thing and making a good investment by expending at least a portion of the money in hydraulic works for the reclaimation of the arid lands.

E. heberlein. brother of C. A. Heberlein, arrived from San Francisco on Tuesday. Herecently returned from Manila, where, as u member of the First Montana infantry, he saw the hardest kind of service for thirteen months, having participated in twenty three battles The First Montana and the Kansas regiments fought side by side, but the Kansans, under Funston, appear to have regped most of the glory. Mir Heberlein is IL accord with the general opinion expressed by the troops who have returned from the Philippines as to the incompetence of General Otis, He pays high tribute 10 the yalor and efficient ser vice of General McArthur, and thinks had he been in command, the cam paign ngainst the insurgents would have been much more successful. He has no doubt but that with the greatly increased forces that the United States will nave in tue field, which will per. nit of the garrisoning of every town and stronghold taken, the war will soon be terminated
 Mir. Heberlein brought home a raye collection of photographs, boloes (sim- ilar to Cuban maehettes), flags, cigar cases, skilfully woven from native grasses and roots, and many other mementos The Philippine flag is very pretty, consisting of two stripes, blue and red, extending from a tri- angular field of gold. in the center of which is the sun, representing Luzou, and stars in the angles to represent the three other large islands iu the archipelago
