bush fires now raging along the line Of the
southeastern Railway. All the country from
La Broquerie about fifty miles down the
line, to Warren, Mimi, u distance OF seven
ty-flve miles, is known to be in the grasp OF
the fire, which is sweeping the forest In all
directlofs, famed by strong easterly wind
ondth number OF human beings entrapped
is estimated at 500, composed chiefly OF scat
tered settlers and men employed in the lum-
Der camps. The operator ut Wood Ridge,
about ten miles this side of Vassar reported
that the special train bearing Buchanan q
Keith's men and railway officials had been
within four miles of Vassar, and was driven
back by flames. From stragglers who have
escaped they learned that 100 teams, with
all camping outfits, had been abandoned,
and that the men have scattered for their
lives in all directions. One hundred thou
sand ties and ten thousand cords OF wood
were burned, and the camps we're complete
ly encirced by the raging flames. The
special train had just left on another trail
to break through the flames and attempt
additional rescues.

are entertained that the loss OF life among
the lumbermen will be severe, and the rail-

Presidents Message to Congress on Porto
Rican Law Many Vacancies I'm ONCE.
Washington. Especial. )-The President
sent to Congress the following message;
The time remaining lefore the 1st OF
May, when the act of April IL, 1900, entitled
AN act temporarily to provide revenue and
civil government for Porto Rico and for
Other purposes" will take effect appears to
be insufficient for tho careful inquiry aud
consideration requisite to the proper selec-
tion of suitable petsons to MI the important
civil Offices provided for by the act.
New Authority Required.
The powers of the present government
will cease when the act takes effect, and
some new authority will be necessary to en-
able the officers now performing the varions
duties Of civil government in the island to
continue the performance OF those duties
until the officers who are TO perform similar
duties under the now government shall have
been appointed and qualified. That author
ity cannot well be given at present by tenn
porary appointments of tho existing officers
TO positions under the act, for the reason
that many OF the existing officers are officers
OF the army detailed to the performance OF
civil duties, and Section 1922 OF the Revised

such temporary appointments under the
penalty Of losing their commissions.
The selection of the new officers and tho
organization Of the new government under
the act referred TO will be accomplished with
all practicable speed but in order that 1t
may be properly accomplished recommend
the passage of joint resolution to obviate
the difficulty above stated.
WILLIAM MrKINIEY
To carry into effect the Presidents mes
sage Mr.. Foraker. chairman OF the Porto
Rican Committee, introduced this joint reso-
luton:
Mr.. Foraker's Resolution.
"That until the officer to I'LL any office
provided for by the act OF April IL, 1900.
entitled An act temporarily to provide reve-
nues and n civil government for Porto Rico
and for other purposes shall have been
appointed and qualified the officer or Off
GERS now performing the civil duties per-
tanning TO such office may continue to per-
form the same under the authority OF said
act; and no officer OF the army shall lose his
commission by reason thereof. provided that
nothing herein contained shall be held to
extend the time for the appointment and
qualification of any such officers beyond
the 1st day of August 1900"
On motion of Senator Foraker the resolu-
tion and the message were referred to the
Committee on Porto Rico.
