Another thing to be remembered is
that Dewey is far less popular than he
was six months ago. The wave OF popu-
lar enthusiasm has subsided. The coun-
try is grateful to the Admiral for the ser
vice he performed at Manila, hut many
people feel that he has been sufficiently
rewarded. Several causes, which it is
not necessary to dwell on, have con-
tributed to the waning of public enthus-
iasm. So we doubt whether it will be
possible to stampede the Democratic
convention for Dewey. Moreover, there

appreciates the value of readiness, and

found these qualities useful at Manila,

old story-the woman tempted HIM and
he fell. There is apparently no place
for Dewey just now in the arena of parti
san politics, and his best friends are
sorry that he did not maintain his digni.
fed place as the naval hero, instead of
becoming a contestant for the hight st
prize in politics. His fame was secure
and his glory had been fairly earned; /;
but the greatest name is tarnished and
the best reputation suffers in fierce

The American people is going about
one OF the most serious pieces of business
OF its whole career. In the course of it
the personality of President as mere
administrator will be nil. AS a di-
rector of party policies, as an agent of

be everything. A candidate who is
not even conscious of this tremendous
fact is pretty sure to discover painfully

died within an hour. There have been

although definite news is not yet at hand.
Early to-day the delayed regular South
eastern mixed train reached this city with
about twenty-five passengers, mostly lum-
bermen, who have been working in the diff
ferent camps. They fully confirmed all
reports as to the serious nature of the
hre and expressed fears as to the safety
OF many of the men at Keith's camp.
The fire started as early as Tuesday
last, but for several days it burned slowly
on account of the light winds. Thursday
evening the wind rose and flames gained
headWay at an astounding rate. Before
many hours 1t was sweeping a stripe three
miles wide and destroying everything be-
fore it,
An idea of the ferceness of the flames
may be gathered from the fact that the
water tank at Vassar siding was destroy
ed, though it was of metal and was filled
with water at the time.
Those coming in on last nights train
state that not one stick of either Keiths
or Buchanan's outfits was saved and that
in all probability a great many horses
perished. One man even went so far as
to say that the men had no time to es-
cape from their camps owing to the
rapidity with which the fire travelled, and
that they were compelled to fight back
the flames from the open space around
their camping places. He thinks they are
hemmed in and that their chance of es-
cape is slim. This view, however, was
not shared by others.
In addition to the immense quantity of
standing timber destroyed it is said that
5000 cords of ties have gone up in smoke

Vancouver, B. c., April 21.--r is the

stamp it out. Thousands have been inocu-
lated, the premier and members of his
cabinet presenting themselves for volun-

work has been done in the way of closing

NICARAGUA CANAL REPORT.
VIII lie Some Time Before Commits
sioners Finish 1t.

stOnerS finnish IL.
Washington, April 21.-The 1sthmian
canal commissioners have concluded that,
with all possible expedition, they cannot
complete their report upon their exami-
nations of the various Isthmian routes
for a canal before next December. They
could, of course, make the toughest kind
of preliminary report earlier, but they
would do this only upon absolute direc-
tion and with reluctance.
The exchanges that took place between
the commissioners and the heads of the
Central American governments during the
visits of the body to that part of the
world, did not commit any of the presi
dents TO a REIMBURSEMENT of sovereignty
over any of the projected canal routes in
favor of the United States, according to
one of the commissioners. But :his point
of sovereignty IS, after all, inconsequential
at this stage, in the belief of the commits
sion, the members of which do not see
that any particular benefit is to result
from an assertion of sovereignty over the
soil as long as the right of the United
States to protect the canal line Is con-
served in the treaties.
The proposed action of the House of
Representatives in amending the Ncara-
qua canal bill by striking out the provls-
ion for the erection Of fortihca tions along
the route of the canal is regarded as
making the measure far more acceptable
to the administration, but 1t Is still be-
lieved to be absolutely necessary to
make the ratification Of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty condition precedent to the
adoption of any canal bill.

large streams of red-hot lava could be

the sea about six miles from here. For
one day and night the eruption was &C
companied by a rumbling noise, at times
increasing to a roar, which was very ter
rifying; all the houses at Legaspi shook,
windows and doors ratified. On the morn
ing of March the vibration and noise
was very trying-there was no wind and
the clouds of smoke could be seen reach
ing far into the heavens, perhaps five
miles or more above the top of the vol
cano. This spread out and covered the
town, the sun became obscured and a
thin cloud of ashes fell constantly. 1t

show about one-half the crater at sun

the flow of lava, continued all night. This
