PARSONS, w. Va. September l.
One OF the biggest fires in the history
of Tucker county, occurred this after
noon when the Otter Creek Lumber
Company's plant, at Hambleton, two
miles from here. was totally destroyed.
The fire caught in the boiler room OF
the mill, fifteen minutes after the men
had gone TO dinner. and got big start
before any one got to it.
The progress of the fire could not be
checked because, starting in the boiler
room, no alarm could be sounded by
the whistle, and no hose applied.
In an hour the mill, which was valued
at about SIS, 900, was wiped up and the
fire was raging in the lumber yard
where was stacked, over several acres OF
ground, some ten or twelve million
feet of lumber.
All this lumber burned. 1t was
worth about $aT5, 600. making the total
loss a quarter OF a million.
The bridge across Black Fork river
was saved, and with difficulty the town
was saved. The river was between the
mill and the town.
'rhe loss is partly covered by insur-
ance.
The company have about thirty miles
i,,t< In i'm
Der lands, but they have not decided yet
whether they will rebuild or not. They
employed two hundred and fifty men,
and it is the only industry In the vii
lage, to which it will be a hard blow,
If not rebuilt.
Superintendent R. ]. Clifford and over
half the men we're two miles away at
a picnic when the fire started.

LONDON, September 2.-425 a. NJ
A special despatch from Berlin says it
is reported that Germany has rejected
the Russian proposal for the withdrawal
of the troops and has made a counter
proposal that Russia shan retire. leav-
ing the other powers to follow their own
course.
According to a news agency's report
there Is not much doubt in London Off
cial circles as to the attitude of Eng
land. 1t is pointed out that the with
drawal from Pekin at the present mo-
ment without a definite understanding
with the Chinese government would be
simply cOurding a recurrence of recent
events. No undertaking by Ii Hung
Chang would compensate for the difficult
ties of further negotiations from the
coast Until the powers receive a di-
rect assurance from the Chinese govern
ment, England is not prepared to with
draw her troops.
1t is announced in semi-official cir
clos to-day that England has decided
not TO withdraw her troops from Pekin
until after an understanding has been
reached with the Chinese government.
Lo Feng Lu, the Chinese minister, has
received confirmation of the report that
the empress and her party are at TAI

SOUTH BEND, Ind, September l.
Hon VIM. j. Bryan to-day made mis-
second brief visit of the campaign to
Indiana. He arrived at four o'clock,
speaking briefly at Laporte en- route.
He was enthusiastically received at both
places.
AT Daporte Mr.. Bryans arrival was
announced by firing of guns and Shout
ing of a multitude of people who had
gathered at the railroad station.
A platform had been erected near the
depot and from this Mr. Bryan talked
for about 10 minutes while the train
took on a dining car. He did not at
tempt to make a set speech in this
brief period, but contented himself
with pointing out what he denominat-
ed the Inconsistencies OF the Repubh-
can party.
The meeting here tonight was upon
the court house grounds. A thunder
storm Threatened 20 drive the people
inside, but MIR. Bryan expressed pref
erence for an outside meeting. He had
a fine audience, regardless Gu the unto
ward conditions. The people STOOD
ankle deep in the wet grass and mud
in many places, but they generally re-
manned quiet and in listening attitude
throughout the entire meeting.
Mr.. Shively presided at the meeting,
but he cOntented himself with mere
presentation OF Mir. Bryan.
The speech was a general discussion
of The issues of the campaign, but espe-
Cial attention was given to the c0nSld-
Grafton OF the paramount issue. This,
he insisted was the question OF imper-
ialism, and he likewise insisted the Re-
publioans were doing ALI they could to
eyade this issue.
Mr.. Bryan declared that they were do
ing all in their power TO convince the
country that the finances were the prin-
cipal question at issue. This they were
doing Notwithstanding their previous dec
laration that silver is d dead issue. He
had himself predicted that they would
find il a very lively corpse, but he had
never dreamed OF it's becoming so vivid
as it has been made by the Republicans.
AS for himself, ne had never doubted that
the position Of the Chicago platform
was correct, but while this was true, it
was still fact that the tendency to i'm
periahsm was of more immediate con-
Germ than the question Of the finances. In
that problem was comprised the perpetui-
ty of the republis-whether We should
have a republican government or not.
He also discussed the question of trusts,
the increase Of the army and other points
at issue, contending that the Republicans
had been on both sides of these questions.
He declared that If the Republicans
should win at the next election there
never would again be a standing army of
less than 10000 men.
