FORESTS BURNING IN WYOMING
AND COLORADO.
GREAT AREAS BURNT over
Three Hundred Square Miles Of Tim
Der Land Already Reduced
to Ashes.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 16.-But little
progress toward checking forest fires
in different sections of the state is
being made. At the head of Chicago
creek, the fire Is again beyond con
troll. A vast scope of territory. has
been burned over, and it is feared
the towns along the Clear creek will
experience a shortage of water as a
consequence, due to the fact that the
fire has destroyed the protection to
the snow beds, which were the source
of water supply for Clear Greek.
United States Forest Supervisor
Henry Nicholson, who is conducting
the fight against the fire in the neigh
borhood Of Cassello, at the head of
Platte canyon, called upon the min
ing company in that vicinity for as
sistance in fighting the flames and
men we're dispatched with complete
equipment to the aid of the govern
ment. This fire has been burning for
several weeks and has destroyed
much valuable timber. Several sum-
mer resorts are in danger.
In Estes park fires are burning slow
ly but stubbornly resist all efforts of
the settlers to quench them. Great
clouds Of smoke hang like a pail over
the mountains and are plainly visible
miles away.
The fires in the vicinity of Eldora
have destroyed an immense quantity
of fine timber. But little damage to
property from any of the fires in this
state and as yet no loss of life has
been reported.

SOME ENGLISH OPINIONS.
London Papers Discuss Likelihood Of
RooseveIt's Nomination.

.H. IL
London, Sept. 16.-The Times and
the Standard this morning both de-
vote their principal editorial articles
to lengthy reviews Of President ROOse'
velt's chances for the presidency in
1904.
The Times says: 1.-THE popularity
Of the new president has been some.
times greater and sometimes less,
but what is most certain is that all
along MI. Roosevelt has produced a
deep and enduring impression on the
public mind.
Even now the people of the United
States do not appear to have quite
made up their minds about him; but
no doubt is entertained in any quar-
ter that he is the man, the strong
man, the determined man and the
man with clear views Of his own and
the courage to assert them regardless
of the power of party wirepullers and
other influences.
president Roosevelt. whether in
the right or wrong in the c%ontrovers-
les which have arisen during the past.
has never hesitated. He has declared
his policy and placed it frankly be-
fore the country"
The Standards comments on the
subject are similar to those made by
the Times.

Widespread Devastation.

z Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 16--Governor
Richards has been informed by tel.
ephone from Grand Encampment that
for many miles on the Wyoming-Col-
orado line north of Pearl, Colo, a
furious forest fire is raging, devastat-
ing everything in it's path.
Every effort to subdue the flames
has been without avail. According
to latest reports, there are at least
Is serious forest fires burning in Wyo-
ming, to say nothing of a number of
smaller ones and brush fires. There
are three fires in southern Albany
county thate are destroying great
swaths Of fine pine timber in the
Medicine Bow range and threatening
mining buttes.
The government sent a force of
fighters under the supervisor to look
after the fire last week, but the men
quit, claiming they were u%nderpaid
and the efforts to check the flames
are now confined to individuals.
Though a hundred miles from Chey-
enne, the smoke from these fires OBJ
scure the skies here and the odor of
burning wood is noticeable.
The three fires in southern Carbon
county, which the government has
been fighting for two weeks, still burn
fiercely.
A government agent with a large
force of men is on the ground, but
is reported to be making little pro-
gress.
Over three hundred square miles of
timber land is already in ashes. The
largest OF the fires is terrific and moth
ing the settlers can do has any effect
on it's spread. In the southern Vim
thas, a fire, small in comparison to the
others, is burning, and in the Jackson
Hole country two big blazes are eat
ing the timber in the game country.
Further east in the Shoshone reser-
walton, a fire, the magnitude of which
is not known, has been burning for
weeks.
In Natrone county, a good sized
fire has been destroying timber for
the past few days. A big fire threat
ems the timber of the Big Horn noun
tains and there is no report of any eff
fort having been made to check its
progress.
The fire on the Grey Bull was furi.
Gus for several days, but it is be-
lieved to have spent it's fury.

NEW coALINe STATION.
One May Be Established on Cali
fornia Coast.

~ .NHE%. AaWHRdf. F@." G.Ha HSaaM@ HF"tFg
Washington, Sept. 16.-secretary
of the Treasury Shaw and Surgeon
Wyman of the marine hospital serv-
ice were in conference with Secretary
Moody at the department yesterday
in regard to a plot of land at San
Diego, Cal, upon which the navy de-
partment desired to establish a coal
ing station.
BY a provision Of the sundry civil
bill the marine hospital service has
about six acres of the naval tract for
use of a quarantine. The tract hap
pens to be the choicest bit from a
naval point of view and almost in
dispensable for the establishment Of
a coaling station. No agreement
could be reached at the conference.

cLARk,s RUGS.
Senator Makes Purchases That Run
Into Big Figures.

4NtH-- ..-lE ~tONS 49, -.
New York, Sept. 15.-It has just
leaked out that~Sepator Clark OF Mon
tana has casually bought a few rugs
for $250.000. In art circles the pur-
chase is looked upon as one of the
most remarkable events that. recently
has taken place. The sale has been
kept very quiet, because 1t was made
by a house which prefers to be known
only as selling famous art collections
at auction. There probably are not
more than a dozen rugs in the col
lection, SO that the purchase price
makes an average Of nearly $4,000
each. Some OF these rugs are OF such
wonderful weave and so beautiful
that, in Senator Clark's new, palace
like home in this city, they will be
put under glass and framed like rare
old masters. This was done by the.
late Henry G. Marquand with a. few
similar rugs which he owned.

FRENCH MARINE MINISTER'S RE.
MARkAsLE SPEECH.
A HOLY WAR IS COMING
French People Must Prepare to Wage
Conflict for Preservation Of
Fatherland.

Bizerta, Tunis, Sept. 16.-M. P4lle.
tan, French minister of marine, made
a remarkable speech at an entertain.
ment of the municipality yesterday
evening, which, it is expected. will
cause the French foreign minister,
M. Delcasse, some trouble to explain.
After pointing out the Importance
of Bizerta as a bulwark Of France,
M. Pelletan proceeded:
I'VE do not say we want to make
the Mediterranean a French lake. We
have been cured Of the dreams Of the
great man who wished us to dominate
the world. But part of the Mediter-
anean is French and will remain
French. With this powerful rampant,
SO we'll situated for defense and also
for attack, and with Corsica and Tou-
Ion, we can hold the open door be-
tween the two halves Of the Mediter.
| renean in spite Of Malta and Gibral-
tar.
Certainly, I do not desire a con
fict against England, any more than
against Italy, but, as we do not know
what others are doing, it is part Of our
duty to prepare for the holy war Of
the French %fatherland against its en-
enmies, whoever they may be.
II am convinced, thanks to the fel-
low workers with whom l am sur
rounded, that we can face every event
uality. Security hardly exists any
more for the civilized world.
The Barbarian Of Germany.
AT the end of the nineteenth cen
tury, after the defeat of France by
the barbarians of old Germany, we
saw an offensive return of the law of
brute force. The whole world seemed
to be dominated by the maxim, Might
before right We must then devote
all u efforts to keep intact that TO-
Gus Of justice and light-'French gen
ius.'"
M. Pelletan concluded with remark
ing that he would not say nor at
present. He had not yet been accus-
tened to being a minister and feared
he might be carried away into ex-
pressing his opinion of matters which
concerned the foreign minister.
France has at Bizerta a powerful
military and naval stronghold with
which, with Toulon on the north Of
the Mediterranean, French military
and naval men assert that Frances
naval power in the west of the Med
iterranean is unassailable and all that
is required to consolidate the position
of France, is the construction of the
so-called canal of two seas, which is
to unite the Mediterranean with the
Bay CT Biscay and thus render her in

New York. Sept. ia special to the

Speaker Henderson played the baby

well come out now as at any other

years there has been treachery in the
Republican camp. Chairman Babcock.
Congressman Hull of Iowa, Tawney OF
Minnesota and several others have
been trying to bring about Hendersons
defeat for the Speakership. They did
not want him last time, but he was too
strong for them. Since the fifty-siXth
Congress they have been conspiring to
beat him, and on the quiet they gath
cred enough strength to insure the sue
cess Of their plans.
