dry as finder SO that the slightest SPARK
lindles a blaze and today before the
strong wind the fire swept like a hurricane
through thousands OF acres OF the best
timber in this section. Up to Friday night
the damage to timber lands within a radius
of fifty miles of Bangor was estimated at
$I00 COO aad such has been the destruction
today that lumbermen say the loss must
now be several times that amount.
The greatest fires are in the towns of La
grange, Alton Argyle. and Ccstigan, i'm
mediately north of Bangor. In these towns
a large pert of the male population is
working night and day in an effort TO stay
the flames b. telling strips Of forest and
throwing up trenches Many people have
already been driven from their homes in
the outlying regions and several OF the
smaller towns have all day been in danger
of destruction. East of Bangor and also
in Hancock County destructive fires havs
been raging for a week. and the same con-
ditions prevail generally throughout east
ern Maine There has been no rain for
many weeks, and at this time there is NO
prospect of any. Many lumber operators

them bankrupted by the fires.
On account of the extreme drought the
fish and game commission has ordered the
sale OF licenses for September hunting to
be stopped until there is fall of rain.

AGAINST FOREIGN SAILORS.
Seamen's Union Wants Them Barrcd
From American Ships.

NEW YORK. Sept. s.-The National
seamen's Union has prepared bill which
it will present to the next Congress pro-
hibiting the employment OF Japanese.
Chinese. Malays, and Lascars On Ameri-
can ships. Some time ago the union
charged that the transports carrying
American troops TO China were manned
with Chinese sailors. and that there was
danger of the ships being scuttled or
blown up.
August Gildemeister. agent of the At
lantic Coast Seamen's Union, which is
part of the National Seamen's Union, said
yesterday, in speaking of the bill. that
the Chinese caused much trouble TO sea-
men, even on this coast. He declared that
American crews were engaged at Atlantic
Coast seaports for vessels sailing to Asia
tic ports. On reaching the latter ports
they were discharged on some pretext or
other and Chinese crews hired to bring
the vessels back The object of the sail
ing masters in doing this. Mr.. Gildemeis-
ter declared, was to save money. The
American sailors received from SIS to S25
a MONTH while the Chinese could be
hired for $12.
Mr.. GiIdemeister also said that the
Germans and Scandinavians, who d in
recent years formed such large part OF
the crews OF American ships, were beirg
driven out by Italians and Greeks. Like
the Asiatics, they work cheaper, but are
not as trustworthy as the Americans,
Germans. or Scandinavians. He con-
cluded by saying that the naval authori-
ties had viewed with alarm the course
of affairs, and were trying hard to man
the new battleships with Americans.
To do this, tugboats had been sent ~
the rivers and lakes to get country BOYS
to Join the navy. Only a few of them.
however, could be obtained. he said. ard
il was doubtful if they would make as
good sailors as those from the seaport

COST OF THE sAENGERFEsT.
A Committee to Examine the Ac
counts of the United Singers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-A revision COM
mittee will go over the financial ac-
counts of the United Singers Society of
Brooklyn in order to ascertain how the
money for the recent Saengerfest in the
Thirteenth Regiment Armory was ex
pended This was decided upon this after
noon in Arion Hall at the meeting of the
delegates from twenty-three of the forty
two societies belonging to the Singers.
Vice President August H. Tiemann, in
the absence of S. X. Saenger. who is in
Europe, presided Three societies the
Williamsburg Saengerbund, the Central
Quartette Club. and the Olive Quartette
sent letters of resignation. There was a
debate on the question of accepting the
designations because of the unsettled con-
dition of the financial affairs of the
United Singers. 1t was decided to defer
action on the designations until it has
been ascertained whether there has been
deficit from the Saengerfest In the event
of a deficit. the three societies will be
called upon to pay their propcrtionate
share and then the designations will be
accepted.

FORT HAMILToN's BIG GUN.
Huge smooth Bore Destroyer Not to
BE Removed.

NEW YORK. Sept. Sort Hamilton
will not lose its monster gun after all.
There has been some talk of taking 1t TO
Prospect Park or The Bronx, but it has
been settled that the gun shall be an at
tractive feature of the future Fort Hamil-
ton Park. adjoining the post. The site
Of that park is bounded by Fort Hamil-
ton Avenue. One hundred and first Street,
Fourth Avenue, and the waterfront, and
until the land there is graded and the
rank and offensive vegetation has been re-
moved by the Park Department the big
gun will stay on the reservation in the
rear OF the old mortar battery.
Col. John /. Rogers. commanding Off
Ger at Fort Hamilton. takes a great deal
of pride in the smooth bore gun, which IS
twenty feet long. sixty-four inches in
diameter, and weighs about 900 pounds
1t is so big that a man could crawl into
it. and it is one of the largest cast iron
guns ever made. 1t was cast at Pittsburg
in 1864 and one other gun of the same
dimensions was made there later. II has
never been at any other post than Fort
Hamilton. and has been dismounted for
