TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Twenty Caucasian villages Swept
Away by IA GIacier-Seven Hun
dred Persons Killed.

st. Petersburg, Sept. ia report
was received from Tiflis from the Off
cials appointed to investigate the ter
rible calamity in the Caucasus caused
bythenorthern slope of Mount Kasbek
descending on the valley below. Twen-
ty villages were destroyed and nearly
roo persons killed, the damage to
houses, cattle, etc, being estimated
at 10000 900 rubles cover 100000, 000).
On the northern slope of Mount Kas-
bek, in an elevated valley, lies the wa
tering place of Tmenkau, visited most
ly by patients suffering from govt and
scrofula. The hot springs came from
beneath a glacier in close proximity.
At five O'Clock in the morning the gla-
cier commenced to sway, but up to
four y. m. the bathers, to the number
of several hundred of both sexes,
laughed at the idea of catastrophe,
and. in spite of distinct warnings, con-
tinued bathing.
At seven p. IN. the whole valley was
filled with a deafening noise like thun-
der. a subterranean rumbling was
heard, and the stream swelled to a
mighty torrent, carrying with it huge
blocks of rock and ice. The bathers
tried to save themselves, but it was too
late. The entire northern slope of the
mountain, with the glacier, began to
move at tremendous pace from vii
lage to village. destroying everything
in its way. Within three minutes
valley over IL miles long and half
mile wide was devastated. The wall Of
rock and earth which now filled the
valley rose to height Of nearly 1000
feet. Of the bathers only four were
saved. and of the 700 corpses found in
the whole valley there was hardly one
not mutilated. All this destruction
was the work OF DOT more than three
minufeS

The plans have about been completed

THE PRESIDENT ANNOYED.
Shows Signs of Disp1ensure at His
Pastors Sermon ON the
Trusts.

Oyster Bay, \. Y, Sept. 15.-Rev. DR..
Henry Homer Washburn, rector of
Christ Episcopal church, in the pres
ence of President Roosevelt and his
family and a congregation that filled
the church to overlooking, on Sunday
preached a sermon in which he de-
voted considerable attention to "Pos-
sibility of Danger Coming By and
Through the Unguarded Use of Great
Wealth Concentrated in the Hands of
a Few" and in which he also stated
that ''if ever circumstances indicated
that one was placed providentially in
the executive chair of the nation, then
the circumstances that attended the
promotion of Mr.. Roosevelt is indi-
Gated"
The day was the first anniversary of
the death of President Mckinley and
the president had requested Mr.. Wash
burn to hold memorial services. The
announcement that this would be done
and that President Roosevelt would be
present served to draw large crowd
to Christ church, which the president
attends while here. The first part of
the rector's, sermon was devoted to a
eulogy upon the life and character of
the martyred Mckinley and to this the
president listened attentively But
when in the second part of the sermon
Mr.. Washburn took occasion to speak
of the possibility of danger coming
through certain trusts, and also to
laud the president, Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came FESTIVE. His face colored and he
plainly showed signs of disapproval of
the rector's, utterances. At the con-
clusion of the sermon he turned to
Mrs. Roosevelt, who sat beside him,
and whispered: "He should not have
done that"
After the services, the president
stated that he had requested Mr.. Wash
burn to hold memorial services, but
that he had no knowledge of what the
sermon contained, nor had he any init
nation that the rector would refer
to the trusts or to himself. Mr.. Wash
burn also stated that he had prepared
the sermon without consulting any
member of the presidents family.

DIE IN FOREST FIRES.
Between Twenty and Thirty Lives
known to Have Been Losf I'm
the Northwest.

Kalama, Wash, Sept. 15.-News has
reached here that the forest fires on
Lomis river have wrought sad havoc.
ID. L. Wallace, wife and two children,
were burned to death. They were
camping in the woods when caught
by the fire. Their wagon was found
burned up, the charred bodies lying
near. A 12-year-old boy of Mr.. Han
ley's also is dead. Mrs. John Polly
and baby, and brother, name un-
known, and Mr.. Newhouse aud Mrs.
Graves are dead. Fifteen others were
found without clothing except gun
nysacks. The worst of the fire is
on Lewis river, about IL miles above
Woodland. The country is well set
tied and there are doubtless other
casualties.
A great fire is also raging on the
Coweman, in the northern part of
the county Everything combustible
in its path was consumed. The air
is thick with smoke and falling
ashes. Hills camp is reported de-
camp is also burned out; Moreland's
camp is badly damaged. Seven
donkey engines are ruined, two
men from Barr's camp are reported
missing, people are panic-stricken
and many are almost crazed with
grief over loss of property. Cow
litz county thought it was going to
escape until to-day, when the reports
came thick and fast, each worse than
In. loo Il y
two missing with only partial re-
ports from the burned district. The
horrible news cast gloom over the
entire county that hardly can be de-
scribed.
Portland, Ore, Sept. 15.-About
300 people are left homeless in Multi
nomah and Clackamas counties as a
result of the forest fires that have
ragged for the past week. Fires have
burned over wide scope of coun-
try, but the greatest damage in this
state appears to have been done in
these two counties. In the fire that
destroyed the town of Palmer,
near Bridal Veil, two boys named
Hamilton were caught while trying
to escape from the flames and burn
ed to death.
The Springwater region has been
utterly swept by fires and those who
have reached points in communica
ton with the outside world say that
immediate help must be sent in or
der to save the lives rescued from
the devouring flames. Around Port
land the fires are dying down and
the people in the suburbs are rest
ing easy for the first time since
Thursday. In all parts of the Will
Iamette and Columbia river valleys
the smoke continues very dense and
it is feared that the full extent of
the losses will not be known until
the districts now cut are heard from.

MAY TAKE HAYTI.
Island Must Restore Order or This
Nation VIII Undoubtedly
Intervene.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Unless peace
is restored in Hayti by October 1 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 I'LL
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 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.
It is not the declared intention to ac-
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.
