FIRE At FAIR GROUNDS.
Eight Buildings aud Contents De-
strOyed.

st. Paul, Sept Fire bbroke out in
the machinery department of the state
fair shortly before midnight last night,
and in less than two hours upward Of
900 worth of farm machinery, Inn
plements, buggies, wagons, etc, were
destroyed, together with the buildings
that covered them. The total loss is
estimated at between s25. 600 and $780,
900. 1t falls entirely upon the exhib-
itors, who owned their own buildings.
The state or the state fair association
loses nothing. The fire started from
an unknown cause in the office of the
Crane & Ordway, st. Paul, exhibit. II
was discovered by one of the watch
men-about 1880. 1t took some time to
spread the alarm through the grounds,
and very little could be done when all
the men at hand We're aroused The
fair grounds are absolutely without
fire protection. Long before the first
apparatus arrived the flames were
spreading along the row of buildings.
The flames jumped from one to another
with lightning rapidity, and the heat
was so great that little could be done
In the way of saving the exhibits just
placed for next weeks fair. Finally
when seven of the structures had sue
cumbed, the eighth was torn down. The
ruins of the RACED building subsequent
ly took fire and were destroyed with
the rest, but the spread of the confla-
grafton was checked.

Russo-AMERICAN SURPRISE.

London, Sept. 1.-The Russo-Amer-
lean Surprise" as 1t Is called, Is the
chief feature Of the morning papers.
While Russia's part in the proposal is
regarded with considerable suspicion,
It is generally recognized that the
flight of the empress dowager and the
emperor renders the situation extreme
ly difficult, and. therefore, that II
might be wise to adopt the Russo
American programme as the best solu-
ton OF the problem. At the same time
very strong feeling is displayed in
favor of more vigorous line of policy.
The Daily Graphic says: "The United
States are almost morbidly anxious to
wash their hands Of the Chinese en-
barrassment. This has long been an
parent. But 1t is rather surprising to
hear that their anxiety is shared bv

SKELETON MYSTERY.
Discovery of bones Leads to Sur
misses of a Tragedy Of Years Ago.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. I. - A deep
mystery surrounds the finding Of three
skeletons at Bell Center, a small town
in the Kickapoo valley. They were
found while tearing down a house
which is about forty years old. No one
seems to be able to give any light on
the mystery, but the prevailing opinion
is that the skeletons are those of three
persons who were murdered a long
time ago, old residents having only a
slight remembrance of the affair. The
bones are well preserved. An investi-
cation by the authorities will follow.
