on guard all day to see that it did
not break out again. The men
who engaged in fighting the
flames say it was wonderful. the
way the grass, and even the green
timber, blazed in some places.
Everything, owing to the lack Of
rain, is dry as finder, and to guard
against forest fires has become a
necessity. The area burned over
comprised a number of acres and
it is said that many of the trees
have been killed. The uneasiness
that prevailed among cottage own
ers and tenters on the Chautauqua
grounds was greatly allayed, when,
at the close of the meeting in the
auditorium last night, DR.. Day
announced that he had received a
message to the effect that all dan
ger was past.

Clouds smoke we're seen rolling

caused some u%neasiness, for the
people knew there was a fire some
where in the woods. Investigation
revealed that the blaze had started
some time along about noon, on
the grounds of Frank Palmer, the
prairie grass in all probability
having been set on fire by a spark
from the railroad engine. The
blaze soon spread to the woods,
burning 6ercely. No time was
lost however, in making prepare.

NEWS FROM CHINA.

A wilmington Soldier Who is Now in
Shanghai writes to Relatives Here.
A Wilmingtoninn who is now in the
United States army IN China, has
written an interesting letter from
Shanghai to relatives in this city. He
writes that the city of Shanghai IL
almost as large as New York. Some of
the inhabitants live in boats on the
river. According to his report, living
is cheaper Eggs cost five cents per
dozen, beef six cents per pound and
the best pork ct 10 cents per pound. In
Mexican money. One American dollar
Is worth to Mexican dollars. When the
letter was written, November I'd, the
weather in Shanghai was very cold.
The writer was formerly in the Philip
pines, which he left on October 10th.
He does not appear to have a very good
opinion OF the Philippines. He says
they are no good except for some
officers. Scouting parties of Six or
seven men sometimes go out he says
and when they return reports OF a
battle are noised about.
Another Wilmington soldier, who IL
still In the Philippines, writes that the
war on tho islands is thing of the
past and the only things he has fired
at for some time were some game and O
bad dog.
