RUIN is ENORMOUS.
Twenty Lives Lost and Property
Worth EI.500,O'O Destroyed by
the Forest Fires,

Portland, Ore, Sept. 16.-Twenty
lives have been lost and it is roughly
estimated that $l,5O0.O0O worth of
property has been destroyed during
the past week by forest fires in Oregon
and Washington. Many more people
are missing, but it will not be known
how many are dead until reports from
remote districts come in. The esti-
mate of the property loss does not in
clude standing timber. but covers saw
mills, houses, barns. shops, cordwood
and farm implements. Thousands of
acres of timber have been burned over,
hut the destruction of great timber
has not been heavy. Relief is being
hurried from this city, Tacoma, Seattle
and Vancouver, Wash, to those who
have lost their homes and crops. The
districts where the greatest destruc-
ton occurred are I.ents. Springwatcr
and Bridal Veil, in Oregon, and Fifty
Plain, Lewis River aud Elma, Wash. In
all the places ii is estimated there are
about 500 people without food and
shelter

sin Crop Is Injured.

Washington Sept. 1.-THE agricul-
tural department Tuesday issued the
following weekly crop summary:
"rhe week ending September Is was
unusually cool throughout all districts
east of the Rocky mountains, more
particularly in the lake region, central
valleys and gulf states. with general
absence of rain, or only slight precip-
itation in the greater part of the area
west of the Mississippi river, although
heavy rains occurred in portions of
Arkansas and Louisiana. Needed rains
fell in the Ohio Valley. lake region and
middle and South Atlantic states, eff
fectually relieving the drought condi-
lions in those districts.
"More or less damaging frosts oc-
CURED on the 18th, 18th and 14th,
throughout the northwest, central
valleys and lake region and as far
south as Arkansas and the northern
portion of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia. The north Pacific coast
states continue to need rain, but in
other respects the conditions on the
Pacific coast We're favorable.
Late corn has been seriously dam
aged by heavy frosts over the northern
, portion of the corn belt, more especial
ly to the westward of the Mississippi
river, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
and Kansas escaped injury, except in
the northern portion where late corn
was damaged. In Iowa. northern Ne
braska. the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Wisconsin early corn has been serious
ly injured. 1t is estimated that more
than one-half of the crop in Iowa and
South Dakota was too far advanced to
be seriously hurt, but the bulk of the
remainder has been badly damaged.
"Much corn has been cut over the
southern portion of the corn belt,
where fine CROP is assured.
'The progress made with blowing
for fall seeding has been very satisfac-
/ tory throughout the central valleys,
and considerable winter wheat has
been sown in Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braslla. This work, has, however,
been much delayed in the interior por-
| tions of the middle Atlantic states,
and in parts of Tennessee, Oklahoma
and Nebraska"

APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.
Colorado md Wyoming Seek Aid in
Fighting the Terrible Forest
Fires Now Raging.

Washington, Sept. 17.-secretary
Hitchcock Tuesday received dispatch
es from the governors of both Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, appealing for gov
eminent assistance in fighting a ter
rifle forest fire that is raging in gov
eminent timber lands along the Colo
rado-Wyoming boundary line, near
the southeast corner of Carbon coun-
ty, Wyo. The residents of that Sec
ton. according to Gov. Richards, of
Wyoming, have exhausted both
strength and means in fighting the con-
fiagration and are appealing for help.
The interior department officials
are looking into the situation and call
ing for more specific information from
the field. Every effort will be made to
do something to reinforce the re-
sources of the fire fighters, but it is
not yet known what steps will be
taken. 1t is possible that the war de-
partment will be called upon for as
sistance, though no such request has
yet been made.
In response to the kilograms from
the governors of Wyoming and Colo
RADIO the secretary of the interior has
ordered Forest Superintendent Gar
butt. of Wyoming, to assist Supervisor
Atherly, of the Crow Creek reserve, in
fighting the fire reported burning near
Pearl. just south of the Medicine Bow
forest reserve. They will employ
large number of men to assist in the
work. This is the only action the de-
partment can take. No request will be
made of the war department for assist

Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, and National President
Mitchell and National Treasurer Will
son, of the United Mine Workers, to-
gether with the district presidents of
the same organization in the anthra-

At one o'clock the conference adj
journed for dinner. Mr.. Gompers was
the only one who would speak regard
ing the deliberations. He said the
strike situation was discussed in all it's
phases; the finances were found to be
in a good condition; the relief funds
were coming in promptly, and there
was no reason why the strike should
not continue without inficting any
hardship on the strikers.
Mr.. Gompers was asked whether it
was proposed to levy an extra assess
ment in order to help the miners out.
He declined to answer the question.
He also refused to say whethey the
American Federation of Labor will be
convened in extra session to take ac-

MAY TAKE HAYTI.

Nation Will Undoubtedly
Intervene.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Unless peace
is restored in Hayti by October / the
United States will issue an ultimatum
to the warning factions calling upon
them to bring about a tranquil condi-
ton of affairs and the failure to do so
will in all probability result in the an
nexation of Hayti to the United
States. This government will inter-
vene if hostilities do not cease within
a short time of the delivery of the ul-
timatum. President Roosevelt has
given the question careful considera-
ton, and is convinced that the dis
turbances in Hayti will not end with
out the intervention of a strong power.
He fears the inability of the provision
al government to maintain order will
involve the United States with some
European power, on account of the en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine.
He regards the situation there as re-
fecting on the United States in that
the country is Immediately under
American influences through proxim-
ity and the Monroe doctrine, which
prevents any European power inter.
fering.
1t is not the declared intention to ac7
quire the island, but the better in
formed at the state department are
of the opinion that that will be the
result of an attempt at friendly inter-
vention. The people are extremely
hostile to American control and will
be suspicious of any action taken by
the United States. Secretary Moody
is advised of the proposed action and
will be in readiness. This course has
been approved by every senator who
has been consulted by the president
on the subject. Later developments
will be considered at the conference
at Oyster Bay Tuesday.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Sena-

rich and Lodge and Postmaster Cen
eral Payne spent several hours with
President Roosevelt Tuesday and dis
cusseG with him the entire political
situation, having special reference to
the conditions in the western states
which The president is to visit on his
approaching trip. The parties to the
conference were very reticent after
they returned from Sycamore Hill,
but it can be stated on reliable au-
thority that il was decided to make
no attempt to revise the tariff at the
coming session of congress-; that the
president is to maintain his position
as to the trusts, and further, that
he is to insist in his demand for re-
ciprocity with Cuba. 1t is understood
that he will fully outline his policy
regarding this latter question in
some of the speeches he is to make
on his western trip. 1t also can be
stated on excellent authority that
the coal strike was not discussed.
1t was agreed by all that there will
be no adherence to the theory that the
tariff can he or should be reduced
merely because certain articles We're
produced by trusts or monopoles. The
effort will he made at all times to keep
the tariff and the trusts as separate
questions to he dealt with on their
merits. The plea will be made and in
sisted upon that any revision or read

by the friends of protection and not
by free traders. and the country will
be appealed to not to ieopardizc exist
ing prosperity by turning the tariff
over to it's enemies.
Purpose Of the Conference.

HELD BY THE coroner.
Thomas Shnrkey Charged with the
Murder of Banker Nicholas
Fish, In New York.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE death of
Nicholas Fish, as the result of a quar-
rel in a saloon, and the arrest of Thorn
as j. Sharkey, a private detective, on
the charge of homicide in that connec-
ton, was the subject of close police
investigation and conjecture all day.
According to the police, Mr.. Fish, who,
in his wife's absence, was living at his
town home in Irving place, entered
the saloon Monday afternoon, accom-
panied by Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Casey, two women who live in West
Ihirty-fourth street. There they sat
drinking until they were Joined by
Sharkey, at the invitation of one of
the women. Mr.. Fish continued to
treat his companions until, on discov-
ering that his money was exhausted,
he announced that he would draw a
check and get the bartender to cash it..
This provoked a derisive remark by
Sharkey, who was ignorant of Mr..
Fish's identity, and high words fol-
lowed.
blow was struck, by whom the
police do not know, and the two men
rushed at each other, the women
screaming and trying to separate
them. One of the women, clutching
Mr.. Fish by the arm. succeeded in
dragging him out of the saloon to the
sidewalk. There he was confronted by
Sharkey, who had broken away from
his companions, and they clinched.
A Ia -, &
from blow and fell prone to the side
walk. Seeing him lying unconscious
and fearing that he might be killed,
his late companions fed, leaving Mr..
Fish where he fell until policeman
came along and summoned an ambu-
lance. The unconscious man was
taken to the Roosevelt hospital, where
he died later.
AS soon as the fact of Mr.. Fish's
Identity was established dozen de-
tectives were set on the trail of his
companions and before daylight they
were traced to the house in which the
women lived and were arrested. After
being arraigned in the police court
they were brought before Coroner
Jackson. who. after preliminary in
quiry, held Sharkey in $4,000 bail on
the charge of homicide and the women
as witnesses.
To the coroner Sha4key made a
statement that he met Mr.. Fish and
the two women in the saloon, and a ter
verbal alteration with Mr.. Fish
they left the place by different doors.
He denied striking Mr.. Fish and de-
clared that he must have fallen as he
was leaving the saloon. Detective Tro-
jan, who made the arrest, declared in
an affidavit that sharkey admitted to
him that he struck Mr.. Fish. Both
the women made sworn statements
but these District Attorney jerome
has refused to make public.
Coroner Jackson, after performing
an autopsy, pronounced Mr.. Fish's
death to be due to cerebral hem
orrhage, following conclusion of the
brain, and not to fracture of the
skull. as at first was supposed by the
! surgeons at the hospital. The coroner
declared his conviction, from a careful
examination of the condition of the
brain, that the injury was caused by a
heavy blow, and not by contact with
the sidewalk in fall. In the latter
case. he said, there would almost Ger.
tainly have been exterior injuries and
fracture of the skull. The inquest
will be held Friday.
