MARINETTE, Wis, May 2. There is
no communication with the burned dis
trict except by means Of the 500 tele-
graph line. There has been no rain and
the fires cannot be checked. The pas
senger train which left here Sunday
morning was hemmed in in the burned
district and only got through to Fait-
horn Monday night. The plight Of the
people in the burned district must be
terrible, as the country is very dry.
Many lumber jobbers have had their
camps destroyed and farmers have had
to fight the fire to save their homes.
The loss will probably reach several
hundred thousands, unless rain soon
falls, of which there is no prospect.
7 Fires are also burning along the Mil
waukee and 500 lines and serious dam
age is feared there.
The fires are burning SO heavily along
the Milwaukee road north of Ellis juno
ton that passengers are unable to put
their heads out Of windows, SO sitting
is the smoke. There seems to be no
abatement whatever Of the ravages Of
the flames, 5 9 81 .% 5rs Y

Thinks Corn Can Be Substituted For Rice
in China and Japan.
DULUTH, May 2.-Ward Ames, a
prominent grain man Of Duluth, has re-
turned from an extended trip in China
and Japan. Heis much impressed with
trade operations there. He says:
ssI am satisfied that corn can be intro
duced into both China and Japan as a
substitute for rice. think it can be
laid down there cheaper than they can
produce the rice, Judging by present
prices for it in their own markets. A
kettle Of rice. 1870 pounds ayoirdnpois,
costs So. 80 over there. America could
beat that figure consi derably in furnish
Mg those people with corn. China is
not anxious to develop trade with other
countries, but she does not repel trade
advances. Japan, on the other hand, is
eager for trade expansion with other
nations, and Americans stand better
there than any other nationality.
America is developing a big flour trade
in both China and Japan

Second Anniversary of the Bat
tie Of Manila Bay Commem-
GRATED at Chicago.
Admiral Dewey rticipates in
the Affair and is Enthu-
siastically Greeted.
Military and Civic Organizations
From ALI Sections of Hi
nois Take Part.

CHICAGO, May People Of Chicago
and the Western states saw and cheered
Admiral Dewey as he, at the head Of a
military and civic parade, was driven
through the downtown business streets
of the city over a line of march that ex-
tended for over four miles. From a
raised and beautifully decorated dais in
the grandstand, erected on the jackson
boulevard side Of the new federal build-
ing, the admiral reviewed the parade,
in which nearly 100 different military
and civic organizations from all parts Of
the state participated, and which in-
cluded veterans of three wars, q squad
of sailors who were with the admiral at
the battle of Manila bay two years ago,
and marching clubs Of the political par
ties. Everywhere the admiral, in the
full dress uniform of his rank as adj
miral Of the navy was greeted cordially
by the densely packed throngs Of people
along the route.
Notwithstanding its immense length
and the great number Of organizations
taking part, the parade was started al
most exactly on schedule time, 1 II
o'clock. Admiral Dewey, accompanied
by Mayor Carter Harrison and Charles
A. Plamandon, were driven to the start
ing point Of the parade, Michigan ave-
nue. and Twenty-second street, shortly
before that hour, and few moments
later the order was given to start.
All along the line Of march the big Of
fee buildings and business blocks were
AbIaze with Flags and Bunting,
gathered in festoons or stretched in long
folds from roof to ground while from
numberless flag poles and windows the
national colors futtered IN the fresh
breeze, with here and there the dark
Eslns of the admiral's flag. ..,' .,. s-
A chorus of 300 young women
dressed in white and blue were sta
toned on the steps of the art institute,
grouped to form the letters Of Dewey's
name in blue. As the admiral was
slowly driven by the chorus, amid fut-
tering handkerchiefs of blue and white,
sang patriotic songs, the admiral smi1-
ing and bowling to the singers until his
carriage was far beyond the big build
ing.
Immediately after the passing of the
parade Admiral Dewey was escorted to
the Union League club, where lunch
con and reception was given in honor of
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey, Lieutenant
Commander Gilmore, Lieutenant Cald-
well and members of the general execu-
tive and women S reception committees.
In the evening the admiral and his
aides were the guests of Mayor Harri-
son at the University club. while Mrs.
Arthur Cation gave a dinner in honor Of
Mrs. Dewey and the members of the
women's reception committees.

LONDON, May 2. The following dis
patch has been sent by Lord Roberts to

Lord Roberts also reports additional
casualties sustained during the fighting
Of April ~ around Thaba N 'Chu, CON.

enlisted men killed and one officer and
three enlisted men wounded.
Neither the command erin chiefs nor
the corresponds dispatches throw
any light on the plans being adopted to

ST Thaba N Chu and how long before a
determined effort will be made to reas-
sert British superiority is only q matter
Of snr1nise. In the meantime the
Beers Are Remarkably Aggressive,
especially in-view Of the large forces
opposing them. A special dispatch
from Thaba N'Chu says they made o
daring attempt to cut off a British con-
voy which got into broken ground be-
tween Thaba N'Chn and Dewetsdorp,
opening fire from the adjacent hills. In
the nick of time General Brabazon,
with q strong force Of yeomanry re-
turning from Wepener, arrived on the
Escene and extricated the convoy. The
