Sir Shentung Liang Cheng, the Chi

placed in possession of such advices
as the officials had respecting the dis

able to suggest any measure of relief
for his suffering countrymen. The
state department, although not anx

enterprises, will undertake to do what
it can in forwarding relief measures
and, without further reference to the
minister here, will itself transmit di.
rectly to Mr.. McWade, the consul
general at Canton, any funds which
the charitably inclined people OF
America may choose to contribute:
Mr.. McWade has already stated that
he can use the numerous American and

New York, June 5.-Forest fires are
creating havoc on Long Island. The
woods on the south side between
Amityville and Eastport and in the
vicinity of Central Islip and Brent
wood to the extent of several thousand
acres have been destroyed.
Dispatches from places in the
northern part of the state report that
the forest fires have broken out
afresh in the Adirondack mountains.
Smoke and ashes from fires in this
and neighboring states was the cause
of peculiar atmospheric conditions
about this city. The sun was OBJ
scured as though by some heavy mist
and a pungent odor of burning wood
permeated the air. The haze hung
over the river and harbor, somewhat
impeding traffic, and the trolley and
elevated road service was slightly de-
layed. The same atmospheric condi-
tions prevailed at Utica and other
cities in the central part of the state.

VERMONT FORESTS ABLAzE.
Hundreds of Men Engaged in Fighting
the Flames.

Burlington, VT, June 5.-At least
1000 men are fighting forest fires in
Vermont, yet thousands of acres of
valuable timber land have been burned
over and there is little prospect that
the fires can be checked until rain
falls. At HardWick two residences
were destroyed.
The most serious situation is on
Worcester mountain, near the towns of
Worcester and Elmore. The fire there
has burned over 1,400 acres of heavy
timber land valued at $50 an acre and
is rapidly spreading. The smoke is
so dense objects fifty feet away cannot
be seen.

Boston, June 5.-For the first time
in many years the density of the
smoke from forest fires produced a
pronounced yellow atmosphere here.
The sun was visible, but it had no
more power through the smoky pail
than on cloudy day. The smoke was
sufficiently dense to cause discomfort
to those having sensitive throats and
eyes.
1t is forty-seven days since rain in
any appreciable amount has fallen in
this section and during that time the
losses from forest fires in New Eng
land have aggregated at least 1,000,-
