COMPROMISES PROPOSED.
Powers Considering n Plan for the
Guarding Of Peking.

PARIS. Sept. 7.-Active negotiations are
In progress looking to some compromise
arrangement with Russia regarding the
position she has assumed towards Peking.
The communications exchanged between
the powers now have better promise of
success. The compromise suggested. it is
asserted here, is the withdrawal of the
forces of all the powers from Peking. leav-
ing an international guard to protect the
legations, which, 1t is further asserted in
Paris, will be allowed to remain at the
Chinese capital pending a peace settlement.
The main body of troops, 1t is also said,
will retire to the neighborhood of Tien-
Tsin, leaving sufficient forces along the
road to keep open the route and railroad
between Peking and Tien-Tsin.
Russia's attitude is interpreted here as
meaning that she will withdraw her troops
outside the walls of Peking, but necessarily
a great distance from that city.

Forest Fires Again.

The numerous forest fires, which it
was thought, were about extin-
guished, have broken out again and
great damage has ensued as a result.
Along and adjacent to the line of
the West Virginia Central Railway,
which passes through portion of
the Southern and Eastern end of this
county, the fires have been most dis
astrous. Sunday the village of Hart
monsville, in Mineral county, w. Va,
was in great danger for a time.
Seven houses were on fire at once
from sparks thrown out by fierce
woods fire, but all were saved except
that of George B. Junkins, which
was completely destroyed. The
house of Guy ellison at Schell, w.
Va, also burned, having caught from
sparks from forest fire. In fighting
the fire, which threatened the village
of Cross, the men were at first driven
half mile by the on sweeping flames,
being compelled to run for their lives.
A slight shower came to their assis-
lance.
John Thrasher's house at the new
town of Henry, along the West Vir-
ginia Central Railroad, also burned
Sunday in a forest fire, and two
houses at Wilson, near the Garrett
county line, were destroyed by the
same fire.

SeVenteen-Year LOcusts.

1t is claimed that this is the year
for the 17-year locusts. The 17-year
locusts were here in 1910, 1866 in 1883
and will appear again this year, I'M
less all previous experiences go for
naught. They will, in all probability,
come plentiful in all ground that is
now cleared that was overgrown with
wood or underbrush II years ago.
The locusts will appear by coming
up out of the ground, climbing up
the first tree or plant they come to.
After ascending some distance they
will stop long enough to cast off their
shell which soon bursts open. When
the shell has been dotted they will sit
until they have become dry and then
the color has been changed from a
| white to mahogany or dark brown.
They then fly away and alight on any
new grown twig of a tree, the locust
tree seemingly being preferred. They
begin to deposit their eggs in the
bark, advancing step by step, singing
| all the while until they die.
1t is not known they eat anything
during their brief period ofexistence.
The branches thus stung soon die and
| after time will decay and drop to
the ground. In this way the eggs
reach the soil and eventually become
deposited in it where they remain for
| II years.
