MANY TOWNS IN DANGER.
The Fires Sweep Along an Extensi'
of the Great Northern.

The Fires Sweep Along nm Extension
of the Great Northern.
Grand Forks, n. D., April 24.-The
timber region along the line of the Du-
luth extension of the Great Nortchrn
is in danger of suffering one of the
worst fires it has ever known. Little
snow fell there last winter and the un-
usually early spring has long since
taken it away. Not a drop of rain has
fallen this year and many of the water
courses are drying up. High winds
have prevailed all spring and the for
ests are dry as finder. Small fires
have been started here and there, but
until Friday they did little damage.
On Friday the wind attained a velocity
Of thirty miles an hour and the whole
forest seemed to be aflame. The terri
tory most affected lies north of Leeclr
lake, and runs about sixty miles east
and west. Most of the fires have been
south of the track and the south wind
has endangered more or less every
town in the district. The places in the
greatest danger are small way-stations
which have no protection, and there
are many of these which are doomed
unless rain falls soon. The people of
Eckles succeeded in fighting the fire
away from their village and the town
has been completely burned around,
the fire having gone on north. Little
valuable timber has yet been de-
stroyed, but it cannot escape if the
present weather continues.

MIDDLE Over the Naval Bill In the
House.
Washington, April p. - AS a result
Of a p%rotracted struggle in the house
yesterday the provision Of the naval
appropriation bin to enable the secre-
tary Of the navy to contract for ar
NOR plate for the battleships Maine,
Ohio and Missouri, nov awaiting their
armor equipment. at $545 per ton, the
price asked for Krupp armor, is out
of the bill, as is the provision to repeal
the $500 limitation placed upon the
armor by the current law. The fight
came at the end of the consideration Of
the bill. Although the provision was
obnoxious to the rule, all the minority
members of the committee had agreed
to it. but when the majority declined
to allow the discussion of a proposition
for the establishment of an armor
plate factory they cItaliated by raising
a point of order against the two pro-
visions above referred to, and they
were ruled out. The exact effect OF
the action of the house is disputed.
The appropriation of 81, 100000 under
the head of "armor and armament re-
mains on the bill as well as the Ian
guage Of the. proviso authorizing the
secretary of the navy to contract for
Maine. Ohio and Missouri, the words
stricken IL being "at a cost not to ex-
coed $545 a ton, including royalties"
1t is contended by some that this en-
powers the secretary to contract for
the armor without regard to cost. BY
others it is claimed that the provision
will be ineffective unless the senate in
,serts the price. So much bad feeling
was arounsed by the wrangle yer the
armor plate provision that Mr.. Under
wood of Alabama began a filibuster
after the bill was reported to the
house, and finally forced an adjourn
ment without final action on the bill.
Before the armor plate question came
up two amendments to modify the pro-
vision for the increase of the navy.
which authorizes two battleships and
six cruisers, were defeated. One pro-
posed to add a provision for six gun
boats and the other to strike out the
provision for the ~battleships. The
question of building ships in govern
ment yards did not reach a vote as the
amendment offered to this end was
ruled out on a point Of order.
The Senate
The senate had under consideration
during the greater part of the days
session the conference report on the
Hawaiian civil government measure.
MI. Cullom made an extended explana-
ton of the changes in the bill. The re-
port was the subject Of sht:p criticism.
Final action upon it was postponed un-
til to-day. The Alaskan civil code bill
was up for a brief time, Mr.. Bate Of
Tennessee delivering a speech in oppo-
sition to the pending Hansbrough
amendment relating to the rights of
alien miners. MI. Foraker of Ohio
pronounced an eulogy upon the late
Lorenzo Danford, a representative
from Ohio, and the senate adopted res
olutions expressive Of its sorrow.

Frankfort, KY, April 24.-While the
Franklin county grand jury has not

v%estigation Of the Goebel assassination

against Gov. Taylor, charging him
with being al accessory to the murder,
was held up until after the argument
Of the contest case which is docketed
for hearing before the supreme court
at Washington April 80, and it is said
by persons in the councils Of the. pros
ecution that no such warrant will be-
issued OF other steps taken in the case
till after that time. The rumor that
Gov. Beckham had been applied to for
a requisition is without foundation.

coLsoN FOUND NOT GUILTY.

Former Kentucky Congressman IL
Acquitted at Frankfort for Capital
Hotel killing.
Frankfort, Ky, April "a. - Former
Congressman David G.. Colson. who
has been IN trial for the murder Of
Lieut.. Ethelbert Scott and Luther w.
Demaree, was acquitted. The jury
was out eighteen minutes. When the
verdict was read the crowd took no
notice Of the court officers, who pound
ed vigorously for order, but piled over
the ratings surrounding Colson and
insisted on shaking hands with him.
The cheering kept up until Col. Colson
left tile court room. and as he did so it
was taken up by the Beckham soldiers
In front Of the court house.
The crime for which Colson was
tried was committed ON Jan. 16. In q
duel with Lieut.. Scott in the crowded
lobby Of the Capital hotel Colson killed
his antagonist, Scott, and Luther w.
Demaree and Charles Julian, bystand-
ers, and wounded Capt. B. B. Golden,
who accompanied Scott, and whom
C0lson's friends charge with having
taken part in the battle. The bad feel
ing between ColsOn and Scott was of
long standing, and they had previously
had encounters.

Frankfort. KY, April pit is re-
ported that Gov. Taylor left Washing
ton Thursday night to join his family
at Louisville, and that he may arriev
here to-day. There is said to have
been much communication by wire
Thursday between here and Washing
ton. Friends of Gov. Taylor say he is
ready to meet any charge that may
have been brought against him, but
they do not want him incarcerated
without bail, which they say he can
give in any reasonable amount. The
clerk of the court insists that there is
no record on file of any Taylor indlct-
ment returned Thursday in the clerks
office. The circuit Judge can hold an
indictment until the bench warrant has
been served, and such is believed to be
the case in this instance. Current re-
ports are generally credited that the
warrant ever has been issued ready
for service on the return Of the gov
ern0r.

WHOLE COUNTRY LIT Up.
Fires Raging in st. Louis and Ita.ca

Fires Raging in st. Louis and lta*ca
Counties.
Duluth, April 24.-The forest fires in
the northern and western part OF st.
Louis county and the eastern part of
Itasca county are burning fiercely, and
settlers, the railroads and even the
towns on the western end of the Me-
saba range are threatened. The whole
country is lit up between Hibbing and
Swan River on the line of the Duluth,
Mississippi River & Northern. 1t is
in that section that the fires arc most
extensive and threatening. A portable
sawmill belonging to Powers \ Simp-
son, four miles northwest of Hibbing,
has been destroyed. The camps have
been threatened, but SO far as can be
learned the fire has not reached them.
The fires extend, it is said. well up to
ward Cass lake and are increasing in
area at a rapid rate. The underbrush
is dry and the marshes have really lit
tie water in them and the tall grass is
burning over on miles upon miles of
territory. 1t is said to be working into
the good timber in places, and unless
rain comes within a few days there is
danger of very extensive damage. The
IdA1IOduS dIc ldhIA6 CAlAd piCSiu
to prevent the fire getting into the
bridges and buildings, and settlers are
doing everything possible to protect
their property. 1t has been many years
since the northern part Of Minnesota
has been as dry as at present, or when
the possibilities of damage from fires
was as great.
Later reports from the forest fires
are very meager, but from the best in
formation o%btainable the worst Of the
scare is over and fires are dying down.
The excitement among the settlers and
Inhabitants of the timber towns which
was intense for a day or two, has dis
appeared. A good many thousands Of
dollars worth of damage was done,
however. and owing to the unusually
dry condition Of the underbrush and
tall timber, danger is not altogether re-
moved. Rain is anxiously looked for,
and until it comes anxiety will con-
tinue. A report reached thi scity last
night from Lakeside, a suburb six
miles east. that timber a few miles
north Of there was burning, and fire
appeared to be widening it's area quite
rapidly. The wind is from the south,
but not strong, although enough to
carry blaze in that diresti0n.
