ship was seven miles from the capital
over shadeless road and 1t was ex-
asperating to make the trip whenever
questio of local ADMINISTRATION
arose. The tabulated enumeration of
the population of Guam has been for
warded by the secretary of the navy
to the director of the census, to be
included in the total OF the United
States. 1t shows that Guam had a
population of 1861 persons on Jan. 1,
1900. OF these 5.249 lived in the cap
ital city of Agana In the district OF
Agana are five villages, which, with
their populations, are: Amiga, LAG;
Asan, 255; Tehungan, 200; Sinahana,
144, and Carolinas, 80. The five towns
on the island outside OF the district Of
Agana, with their totals, are: Agat,
744; Sumay, 566; Umatta, 1856; Morizo.
491: Inarahan, SIS. OF the total popu-
lation of the island. 3,12S are males
over years old, $3.50 are females
over years, and / 1858 are children un-
der years. Gov. Leary says nothing
about the state OF health on the Is
land, but from the acquisitions for
medicines and surgical supplies, the
natives are evidently patronizing the
naval medical officers with an aston
ishing variety of complaints.

Wisconsin Forest Fires.

Wausau, Wis, May 1.-THE forest
Are which has been raging in the
woods surrounding this city during the
last week is daily becoming more
alarming, and rain is anxiously looked
for to check the destruction of valuable
standing timber. The farmers resid-
ing near the fire have their house
hold goods packed up and each night
have some member keeping watch so
that timely escape can be made if
the fire reaches their houses. The
village of Hatley, ten miles east, was
saved from destruction by the fire de-
partment of Wausau. The fire which
threatened the village of Mosinee is
now under control, as is also the fire
in the swamps between Mosinee and
Marathon City

FIRE MEMORIAL is DEDICATED
Chapel Marks the Site OF the Bazaar
Disaster In Paris.

chapel Marks the Site OF the Bazaar
Disaster In Paris.
Paris, May 5.-The chapel on the
Rue Jean Goujon, built in memory of
the victims of the charity bazaar fire,
was dedicated this morning by Card
inal Richard, archbishop of Paris. The
ceremony was deeply impressivee. Just
two years ago today the terrible fire
broke out in the crowded bazaar. caus-
ing one of the most terrible tragedies
Paris has ever known. On the spot
where the catastrophe took place now
stands handsome little chapel, whose
dome is surmounted by golden
statue of St. John. The building only
holds between 800 and 400 persons
Thus very few were admitted this
morning. The family of each victim
of the fire received two tickets. Sew
eral hundreds of people waited in the
narrow street to see the heavily yelled
mourners enter the little echapel. The
mourners were followed by nuns, who
took the places during the service of
those who had been praying in the
chapel since early morning.

BIG TANKS BLOWN UP.
Thousands of Gallons Of Blazing varnish
Hurled skyward.

New York, May 7.-Explosion after
explosion followed the breaking out of
fire in the extensive Standard warm
ish works at Elm Park. Staten island.
shortly after midnight this morning.
Vast tanks of varnish were blown to
pieces, and the blazing material,
hurled high into the air, made pyro-
technic display that was wonderful to
behold. The damage was $150,00O.
After hard fight of four hours the
firemen saved the main plant OF the
works.
The flames started from an unknown
cause. There was an explosion that
shook buildings for radius of mile.
The flames spread rapidly. Fire en-
gines from Port Richmond were soon
on the scene, and a general alarm was
sent in, calling all of the apparatus
from the north shore of Staten island.
Within an hour four of the big tanks
bad blown up. Each of these tanks
contained 5,vr, gallons of material.
T.e tiremen were driven back again
and again, but kept up their efforts to
save the buildings Of the plant. These
are of brick, one-story high and cover
several acres.
Fire tugs from the Standard Oil
works at Bayonne were early ordered
to the scene, but they could not ap-
proach the main blaze, and they were
compelled to confine their efforts to
keeping burning oils from floating
down the slips to points where ships
and boats were tied up.
Time and again the oils were carried
TO the tugs, which had to turn their
hose upon each other to save them
selves. To have let the fire escape
down the slips would have not only
endangered the docks and boats along
the Staten island shore, but under the
influence of the current the blaze
might have been carried across the
coal docks and oil works in Bayonne.
Eight of the new tanks blew up
within two hours. Each explosion
threw the burning contents in every
direction and repeatedly endangered
the lives of the firemen and sent the
fire among the buildings.
The flames upon the water finally
communicated to and destroyed the
docks and some of the smaller build
ings out near the waters edge in the
vicinity of the varuish works.

but was not permitted to see the body,
DR.. Vincent's father is living in
Springfield, ILL.,, and his brother is
Judge Vincent Of Chicago. In 1893 DR..
