The Irl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said OF the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Irl r. Hicks
bases his yearly forecasts of storm and
weather, it is remarkable fact that
specific warnings of every great storm,
flood, cold wave and dronth, have been
plainly printed in his now famous Alma
nae for many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruction of
Galveston. Texas, the very day named
by Prof. Hicks i'll his 1900 Almanac, as
one of disaster by storm along the gulf
coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This remark
able book of near two hundred pages,
splendidly illustrated with charts and
haIf-tone engrayings, goes IA premium
to every subscriber who pays one dollar

Consolidating Western Kansas Coun-
ties.

Again it is proposed that the in
coming legislature shall make
wholesale consolidation of the sparse
" settled counties of western Kansas.
The counties in question have an
abundance of area but are short on
voters, therefore an undue represen-
tation in the legislature To this the
eastern counties object The same
criticism holds good as to representa-
ton in congress from the south and
In the United States senate from the
west. It cuts some figure politically,
but neither morally nor legally The
proposition Is to consolidate about 20
counties into five or six, together with
their bonded Indebtedness. These
twenty counties will never be densely
populated unless some new, and pro-
fitable crop product suitable to the
elm ate should be discovered and
utilized. 1t is the '-short grass"
country, of good but not of luxuriant
how the inhabitants of the counties in
question feel about the matter. With
their consent and cooperation consol
idation may be possible, otherwise
not-Wichita Eagle.
| This old steam goes off every two
years. The people of the 20 "short
grass" counties are satified with their
present boundaries. Many years ago
/ the western Kansas counties were
consolidated into larger counties, but
many of them were recognized on
the old lines; and the county seat

be forgotten.

Combination Between Companies Doing
Business Between Northwest
and Alaska.

SEATTLE, June 19.-The Post-Intel-
ligencer publishes the following story
concerning the formation Of a gigantic
combination of transportation interests
to control the business in the North
west and Alaska:
A strong combination Of transporta-
tion companies doing business in Alas
ka and the Northwest Territory has
been formed. The White Pass & Yukon
Railway Company has practically alb
sorbed the Canadian Development Com
pany and the John Irving Navigation
Company. The management Of the
three big companies has been brought
under one control, which will be from
general headquarters at skagway.
Publication has been authorized Of
the fact that the steamers, the assets,
the wharf interests at Atlin and the
Taku tramway, owned and operated
heretofore under the name and manage
ment Of the John Irving Navigation
Company, limited, have been purchas-
ed by a company composed Of r. T..

velopment Company; E. c. Hawkins,
general manager. John Hislop. assist

LOSS OVER A MILLION.
Great Connagration at Bloomington,
Illinois,


BLOOMINGTON. H., June 19.-The
fire that was discovered at 1890 this
morning, swept the business section
Of the city and entaIled loss that is
estimated at over one million dollars.
Word was sent to Peoria and Spring
field to send engines. AS every effort
to check the flames proved futile, the
blowing up Of buildings with dynamite
was resorted to, after the fire had been
raging three and a half hours.
A strong east wind prevailed, which
made the work Of the firemen extremely
difficult. The burned district included
some Of the handsomest buildings in
the city.
Among the buildings destroyed and
some Of the losses are as follows:
Greisheim building and stock Of
clothing, 100000; Cole Bros, dry goods,
$75,OOOj Stephen Smith G. Sons, dry
goods, $4,000; Klemm, dry goods, $780,

ture; Myers & Mills, hardware, and the

ant chief engineer and ]. p. Rogers,
superintendent OF the White Pass q
Yukon route.
Under orders issued by the new COM
pany. r. T. Elliott assumed the man
aTement on Jnne Il. Of the properties
ACQUIRED from the John Irving Navi-
CATION Company, in addition to the
general management Of the affairs OF
the Canadian Development Company.
The requirement OF the John Irving
properties by company In which three
Of the four men principally interested
are officials OF the White Pass road.
and the placing Of MIR. Elliott, OF the
Canadian company. in charge, means
that the three concerns are now close
ly allied and that the same interests
that direct the affairs Of the White
Pass & Yukon railroad form the con-
trolling interest In the big comoina'
tion. The new management, II is an
nouneed. will at once improve the SER
vice on the routes formerly covered
by the John Irving Company, and
complete the Taku railroad and In
general give to Atlin City service
equal in every way to that maintained
by the Canadian Development Com
pany.
The new combination creates one OF
the strongest. most extensive and most
wealthy OF Northwestern transportation
companies. Having river division
between White Horse and Dawson, the
railroad company has extended its op-
erative department to Dawson. 1t Is
expected that the Atlin route acquire
ments win be formed into a similar di-
vision. AS to the exact service 20 be
given and the schedule OF steamboat
movements on the Atlin run. no Of
fetal information is yet given out
The White Pass company now has
some eight or ten steamers, practically
its own. running in connection with the
railroad on the Atlin and Dawson
routes. and there are several other
lake and river companies connecting
with the road. All traffic distributed
BY the road will first pass through the
gateway Of skagway and all tribu-
tary to that road will come to that
point seeking outlet below.
The new steamer which Capt. John
Irving has been building at Bennett,
and which is nearly ready to run, is
not directly included in the transfer
mentioned. but will be owned by the
same system. That steamer. which was
to have been known as the Reaper, was
bought by the Canadian Development
Company a fortnight ago, and win be
operated under the flag of that COM
pany. She viii be given the name Of
Zelandian.

RUSSIAN FORCES OPEN
ATTACK ON PEKIN
Continued from First Page)

erything in his power to protect the
lives and property of Americans in
China Heretofore this country has
acted independently. but is now acting
in concert with the powers.
THE Chinese question has been dis
cussed in all its phases by the presi-
dent and his advisers. and they have
looked far into the future. 1t is quite
certain the re-convening of congress
has been discussed, but none Of the
officials here viii admit it. The situa-
ton may change at any moment, and
the first advices from Pekin will un-
doubtedly decide whether the immedi-
ate future will bring peace or war.
There are two possible causes for war
in the situation. One is the destruc-
tion Of the American legation and the
numbering Of the American minister.
The other is the action Of the COM
mander at Taku who ordered his men
to fire on the international fleet. II
his action is sanctioned by the Pekin
government, a state Of war exists, but
if he acted without authority and his
hostile act is disavowed. there may be
a peaceful solution Of the incident. II
war exists in China, growing out Of
the destruction Of the legations or the
Taku affair, then it will be necessary
to send more troops to China. Owing
to prevailing conditions in the Philip
pines no more troops can be withdrawn
and few, If any, can be spared from
Porto Rico, Cuba or the United States.
Therefore it will be necessary to call
an extra session Of congress to furnish
troops to deal with the Chinese situa-
tion.
If adyices come from Pekin, that
Minister Conger and other Americans
have been murdered. there will be no
other course open to the administra-
tion but to send force strong enough
to bring the Chinese to their senses and
make the lives Of Americans as safe In
China as they would be in Washington.
