TO REINFORCE THE ISTHMUS,
The Colombian Government waking
Up to the Fact that Panama and
Colon Are in Danger.

Panama, Colombia, Sept. 15.-Ad-
vices received here from Barranquilla
say the government cruiser Cartagena
is at that port awaiting the arrival
of troops down the Magdalena river
from Honda. A dispatch has been
received here from the minister of
war at Bogota saying that Gen. Per-
domo and his army are coming to re-
inforce the isthmus as quickly as pos
sible. The war minister ordered Gen.
Salazar to employ all the means in
his power to resist the insurs ,nts
pending the arrival of Gen. Perdomo.
Gen. Perdomo recently pacified the
province of Tolima, and the facts of
his nov being sent to the isthmus is
taken as proof that the government
at Bogota appreciates the perilous
situation of its forces here.
The insurgent general, Herrera, is
reported to be strengthening his posi-
tons at Rejuco and Chame. 1t is be-
lieved in certain quarters that he may
have resolved not to attack Panama
or Colon, having heard how well these
ports are defended. Unless Gen.
Herrera attacks within the next four
days he may lose his chances of cap
turing either city, for with the a%rriva.
of reinforcements it is believed such
an enterprise would be too much for
his army.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
want . Missouri Fire Fighter.

George C. Hale, former chief of the
Kansas City fire department, has re-
ceived q letter from London, asking
him il 1t would be possible to make
arrangements for him to visit London
with q view of giving his advice and
suggestions in the reorganization Of
the English fire-1ghting service. The
letter came from Horace Faulkeper,
honorable secretary of the British
fire brigades union. Chief Hale has
replied that he is in a position to con-
slider such a proposition, and he is to
discuss the subject further with a
committee of English fire officials
whom he is to meet in New York.
Early last spring Is girls lost their
lives in a two-story building through
the slowness of the London fire de-
partment. The London papers took
the matter up and drew a comparison
between the work of the London Ere
men and the methods Of the Kansas
City firemen, who gave exhibitions
under Chief Hale at the Crystal Pal
ace. Chief Hale has twice taken a
Kansas City fire team to Europe, in
competition with the best iepart-
ments in the world, and each time re-
turned victorious. Hale was tusted
as chief of the Kansas City DEPART
ment a few months ago on account Of
his politics.

Safe Byowers ut Miami.

The post Office at Miami was robbed
between the hours of 1 and 2 a. IN.
The safe was blown open and COM
pletely wrecked, and stamps to the
amount Of several hundred dollars
taken, together with all the money
order books. Many citizens heard the
report caused by the explosives that
were used. The job is a complete one,
and shows the work of experts. At
the same time an unsuccessful at.
tempt was made to rob the Miami
savings bank, which is located in the
same building. The vault door was
blown open with dynamite, and a flu
tile effort was made to tackle the
time lock safe.

MUNICIPAL
Operation of street Railways Under
Municipal Ownership Progress
ing in England.

New York, Sept. 14.-Municipal
ownership and operation of street
railways is making rapid progress in
the United Kingdom, cables the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune.
Out of 213 undertakings, with a total
mileage of 1907, about 100, with a
mileage of $50, belong, according to
late reports, to the local authorities.
The ~tramways owned by Birmingham,
Edinburgh, Oldham and "a other
towns are leased, but the tendency
is toward municipal operation.
Manchester is in the transition
stage, but will have, in the course of
a few years, 100 miles of electric lines
under municipal operation.
About so new schemes for munic-
~ipalization of tramways are now i'll
progress.

Kalama, WASH, Sept. .15.-News
reached here Sunday night that the
forest fires on Lewis river have
wrought sad havoc. d. L. Wallace,
wife and two children were burned to
death. They were camping in the
woods when caught by the fire. Their

Lewis river, about twelve miles above
Woodland. The country is well set
tied and there are. doubtless other
casualties not yet reported.
Pine Timber Destroyed.
The fire has spread from Lewis riv-
er north to the Kalama river, and so
sections of the finest timber on the
coast are destroyed. 1t is impossible
to give any estimate of the amount of
damage done to property. Oak Point,
20 miles below here on the Columbia
river, is totally destroyed. There are
no reports of lives lost, but loss to
property is estimated at about $780,
900.
A great fire is also raging on the
Coweman, in the northern part of the
county. Everything c~ombustible in its
path was consumed. The air is thick
with smoke and falling ashes. Hills

Brothers No. 2 camp is also burned
out; Moreland's camp is badly dam
aged. Seven donkey engines are
ruined. Two men from Barr's camp
are reported missing. People are

THE OREGON FIRES.
MultnOmah and CIackamns Counties
the Worst Sufferers.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 15.-About
three hundred people are left home
less on Multnomah and Clackamas
counties as a result of the forest fires
that have ragged for the past week.
In the fire that destroyed the town
of Palmer, near Bridal Veil, two boys
named Hamilton were caught while
driving to escape from the flames and
burned to death. The timber losses
in Clackamas county have been i'm
mense, and the whole length of the
Clackamas river presents nothing but
vistas of ruined settlements.
The most distressing losses have
been suffered in the vicinity of Spring
water, Clackamas county, and Lentz,
Multnomah county. The Springwa-
ter region has been utterly swept by
the fires, and those. who have reached
points in communication with the
outside field say that immediate help
must be sent in order to save the lives
rescued from the d%evouring flames.
Around Portland the fires are dying
down and the people in the suburbs
are resting easy for the first time
since Thursday.

MULTL-MILLIoNAIRE DEAD.
Winfield Scott stratton, the Well.
Known Mining Man, Passes Away
at Colorado Springs.

Colorado Spring, Col, Sept. 10
Winfield Scott Stratton, the million
aire mining man, died at 9:35 Sunday
night.
Mt. Stratton had been ill for several
months. He had been in a critical
condition for several weeks, and his
death was expected at any time. He
had been unconscious throughout The
day, and relatives, including a sister,
Mrs. Jennie Cobb, of San Jose, Cal,
who is the only neal relative who
survives Mr.. Stratton, did not leave
his bedside at any time.
Mr.. Stratton was born at Jefferson
vile, Ind, in 1s4s. After an educa-
ton in the city schools of Jefferson
vile he mastered the carpenters
trade. He came to Colorado Springs
in 1872, and has since been a resident
of this city. For 30 years more or
less he has been interested in min
ing, being a p~rospector in various
Colorado camps before he opened the
famous Independence Bonanza.
In April, 1891, having seen some
specimens Of gold ore from the Grip
pie Creek district that impressed him
favorably, he went to that camp to
prospect. On the Sd of July, after
weeks of fruitless prospecting, a man
who agreed to grubstake him having
disappointed him, Stratton decided to
go to Cripple Creek and stake out a
claim on his own account. He rode
the So miles from this city to the
camp on horseback, and on the morn
ing of the Fourth of July, 1891, staked
out the Independence Bonanza and
Washington claims. The Independ-
ence gave him original assays of $3.50
to the ton, and in 1892 he leased and
bonded the Washington for $50, 900.
The Independence yielded Stratton
millions, and in 1898 was sold by him
for $4,000, 900, he retaining, however,
a very considerable interest.
Mr.. Stratton's private charities
were boundless, and his interest in
the public welfare was almost with
out limit. He was the owner of the
Colorado Springs street railway sys-
tenn. His wealth is estimated at from
SIS, 900, 900 to $50, 900, 900.

London, Sept. 15.-Extraordinary
scenes, verging upon riot, occurred
Sunday at Clapton, where nearly five
thousand persons attempted to mob a
former Episcopalian clergyman named
Smyth Piggot, who is now the leader
of IN eccentric sect called the Agape-
monites. Piggot last week announced
himself as the Messiah. Exposures of
the man, which filed many columns
in the newspapers, heightened public
interest in the matter to such a pitch
that on Sunday Piggot was only taken
from the mob by the efforts Of
mounted policemen

70 RELIEVE SIR|NENCY.
Action Taken by Secretary Shaw to
Relieve the Stringency in
the Money Market.
FOUR MILLIONS TO Be TURNED LOOSE.
In Additio on October Interest,AmOunt-
ing to Over Four Millions More,
VIII be Anticipated-The Secre-
tary Sees No Occasion for Alarm
I'm Financial Circles.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Secretary
Shaw has issued the following state
ment:
Secretary Shaw has made arrange
ments to release about 100000 OF
the treasury holdings. He has had .
list prepared of those national banks
throughout the country which held
free or pledged bonds at the date of
their last report, and has made in
quiries for others. After making al
lowance for changed conditions since
last report, he expects this will re-
lease at least 1900, 900. He has sent
notice to all such that if they will
send these bonds to the treasurer OF
the United States in sums of $4,000
or more, they will be designated as
temporary depositaries, and the face
value of the bonds will be deposited
with them to the credit of the treas
urer of the United States. He has
pursued this course in preference to
designating Repositories in the or
binary way, which compels them to
buy bonds in the market at a large
premium, thus paying out more for
the bonds than they get from the gov
eminent. The customs receipts are
extremely heavy at this season of the
year and the cash balance of the
treasury has been gradually increas-
ing.
To Anticipate October Interest.
He has also decided to anticipate
the October interest, amounting to
about $4,2 1000. and with this in view
orders have been issued to the various
sub-treasuries to cash such coupons
as may be presented them for pay
ment, and the treasurer of the United
States has been instructed to mail
checks for interest On the registered
bonds. All this was decided upon
some days ago, and letters and tele-
grams prepared.
The secretary sees in present CON
ditions no occasion for alarm. He
calls attention to the fact that there
is no evidence of a currency famine,
prospective or present, elsewhere than
in New York, and wen there the rate
is not high for commercial paper, and
for commercial paper he has the
greater solicitude. He is well salts
fed with his efforts to increase circu-
lation, which he decided upon in the
early summer when present condi-
lions were plainly visible, and has the
presses busy preparing to meet an
emergency which he does not expect,
but which he thinks it is wise to pro-
vide against.
