FOREST FIRES.
Lives Lost and Many Millions of Dollars
in Property Destroyed.

The reports Of recent forest fires
in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming
and Colorado, in which many lives
were lost. will add to the interest
in a special study of the subject
which has engaged the Bureau Of
Forestry for several years. The
results OF this study, in the form of
a bulletin entitled ''Forest Fires, )"
by Alfred Gaskill, will be published
soon. By impressing the public
with some idea Of the peril it suffers
from forest fires, and the enormous
damage they do, the Bureau hopes
to induce more effective legislation
in suppressing them.
Investigation has shown that, in
an average year, 60 human lives are
lost in forest fires. S25, 900, 600 worth
of real property is destroyed, TO-
pa ,0S9 acres of timber land are
burned over. and young forest
growth worth, at the lowest esti-
mate, 100000 is killed. A
special canvass of the country by
the Department of Agriculture in
1891 discovered 10000, 600 acres of
timber land destroyed by fire.
These figures are mere estimates.
which fall far short of showing in
full the damage done No account
at all is taken OF the loss to the
country due to the impoverishment
of the soil by fire, to the ruin OF
water courses, and the drying up
of springs. Even the amount OF
timber burned is very imperfectly
calculated, and the actual quantity
destroyed is far in excess of that
accounted for. Forest fires in this
country have grown so common
that only those are reported that
are of such magnitude as to threaten
| large communities. The lumberine 9

Every fall, not only in Washington,
Oregon, Colorado and Wyoming,
but up and down the Pacific coast
and all over the Rocky Mountain
country fires burn great holes in
the forests and destroy the national
wealth. The air of the mountains
over hundred Of miles is pungent
with the smoke of conhagration, and
navigation on Puget Sound has often
been impeded by smoke. The fol-

timber has been destroyed in one of
the richest timber regions on the

less than $50, 900, 900 worth has gone

According to the Bureau S rec
ords the most disastrous forest fire
in the history OF this country
occurred in October, 1871, stimuli
taneous with the burning of Chicago.
1t extended all across northern
Michigan and Wisconsin and into
Minnesota. 1t least 1000 persons
were burned to death and $1,000
were made homeless. The property
loss has never been calculated. The
Hinckley fire of 1894, which de-
stroyed Hinckley and five other
Minnesota villages. burned to death
AIS persons, destroyed $3.50, 600
worth OF farm and town property,
and about 400 square miles of forest.
A fire in southeast Michigan in 1881
burned the forest on 48 townships,
destroyed 1000, 900 worth of other
property, burned to death lz5 per-
sons, and made homeless 5000.
Another Michigan forest fire, which
occurred in 1896. made homeless
1000 persons and destroyed town
and farm property worth 81 1,25O, 900.
Wisconsin lost by fire in May, 1891,
100 square miles of forest and other
property worth s2, 900. 900. In 1894.
in Wisconsin, II persons lost their
lives and 1900 their homes. and
s2, 900, 900 worth of town and farm
property was destroyed in the

ARRESTS TO FOLLOW
WALL STREET SLUMP
sixty Banks Reported to Have Lost
by ManipuIntiOns of the Webb
Meyer Stocks.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The slump in the
stock market affecting what is known on
the street" as the Webb Meyer stocks,
was followed up late today by a story that
warrants had been issued for the arrest
OF one or more persons in this connection.
The story was that the order of arrest
was issued upon an affidavit made by
Wall street operator, who claimed to
have been feeced, and further afidavits
by members and employees OF various firms
who alleged they knew the secrets Of the
deal 1t was further said that from in
formation placed in the hands of Pierre
NJ. Brown, an attorney, it was alleged that
sixty banks in different parts Of the
country are out more than sl,OOO.O0O by
stock manipulations, and the total loss
at stake is placed at from S. OC0. 600 to SO
0o0,oO0. 1t was asserted that Justice Grefg-
erich, of the supreme court, had issued the
warrants He verified the foregoing story.
Up to a late hour tonight no arrest had
been made. 1t is stated positively that
DR.. W. Seward Webb is not charged
with any offense in connection with the
application for the warrant or that he re-
ceived any benefit from the alleged
fraudulent transactions. DR.. Webb today
resigned, as a member of the board Of
directors Of the International Power com
pany because he was not prepared TO
stand behind the stock Of the company,
and therefore he felt it would be unfair to

LITTLE TIME TO DRESS
FOR CORONATION
PccFeSses Receive Notice That
Throws Them Into Com
sternatiOn Dire.

LONDON, May Skiing Edward, this
week, paid a private visit to Westminster
Abbey, which is now almost hidden from
sight by the hideous scafolding of the
eDcircung stands. The king minutely in
spected the arrangements, expressed sat
isfaction with them, and congratula ted
the Duke Of Norfolk, the hereditary earl
marshal and chief butler of England, on
the way in which the work had been
executed.
Arrangements are pending by which
those who are to be present at the corona
ton viii have a short interval for re-
freshments. This viii be done by the es-
tabLishment Of q lunch room in one of
the ancient cloisters.
The peeresses are in CONSERVATION. Ac-
eording TO the present arrangements the
latest hour at which they will be ad-
ndtted to Westminster Abbey, on corona
hon day, viii be $3.50 a. m, while they are
lovised to be present at 8 o'clock. The
calculation is made that, in order to ad-
lust their robes and prepare other details
the peeresses will be obliged to rise long
before the sun is up on the day the king is
crowned, and. even then. as the West
minister Gazette says, not all the artists
OF Paris and London will be equal to the
emergency.
