do not expect to have to fight with the
German feet but it is part Of the Brit

any and every possible danger.
The Times today publishes an article
written by a naval expert, which says:
"A great and rapidly growing naval
power has risen in northern Europe
and the man who rules the German
empire will no doubt be the last to
question the wisdom of British admir-
atty in taking due account of this fact
and making dispositions accordingly.
"The German feet is factor in a
country resolved not to neglect things
which belong to its peace. The naval
center has now been transferred. and

Winnipeg, Man. Nov. 1S.-Terrible

to the absence of snow and an un-
usual prevailing mild fall In the
Wood Mountain and Willow Bunch
district the flames have swept bare an
area of SO miles by so miles and are
still burning. Tens Of thousands of
tons of hay and thousands of cattle
have been destroyed. Everything in
the path of the fire was consumed in
cluding barns and dwellings. Great
losses are reported In the Lethbridge
and Taber districts.
The fire started In Montana and
crossed the Canadian boundary. AS

London. Nov. 19.-(London Times.)
There is no doubt whatever that the
British admiralty has its eye on Kai-
ser Wilhelm's feet Of waPships and
counts 1t a quantity to be reckoned
within its naval dispositions. This ex-
plains the recent additions to the
strength Of the home feet, as well as
for the determination to retain Ad-
miral Wilson In command Of that
feet instead of transferring him to the
Mediterranean squadron as successor
Of Vice Admiral Domville.

important sea assignment Of the en-

EXTRA SESSION may BE
CALLED NEXT SEPTEMBER
For the Purpose Of Revising the Legislators
Do Not Take Kindly to Hot
Weather Job.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Each day
brings additional corroboration Of the
announcement made heretofore In
these dispatches that an extra session
of congress will be called next year
for the purpose Of revising the tariff
The president is now only In doubt
as to the exact time for holding the
session. His first thought was April.
He believed that me work could be
accomplished in several months. Anti
revisionists have told him that tariff
tinkering at a special session called at
that time would mean a long battle
through the intense heat Of a Wash
ington summer. So the presidents
suggestion now Is that congress be
called together In September. This
would enable legislators to execute
their summer plans to their own sat
isfaction and give three months to
complete work at hand before the reg
ular session.
This idea finds more favor than the
former one. Bnt there is as stronp
undertow In sentiment against tariff
revision among the leaders. There IL
not the slightest doubt in the presi.
dents mind that 1905 is the proper
time for the consideration Of the sub
ject both from a business and q poll
tical standpoint. The only question
is the time of year. 1t is inadvlsablt
to attempt tariff tinkering on the eve
of congressional or presidential
election. So the leaders who are sug
gesting now to the president an anti
revision policy are confronted with thu
problem whether or not the fight foul
years hence is to be waged on a stant
pat platform. Revisions next year o
nothing for four years is the propo

sition. It Is a breach of no confidence
to announce that the several promin-
ent Republican stand patters who have
seen the president have come forth
from their conference viewing rather
favorably the idea of tariff revision
in 1905. There can no longer exist a

closest to the president that Mr..

Later developments in the case of
Leo Essner, who was arrested yester-
day morning for intoxication tend to
establish the belier that the young
man is a house breaker. Essner is
only 20 years old but by his actions
of yesterday the fellow seems to have
thieving nature as well as brutal
one.
Threatening to kill his employer
with an axe, and afterwards swearing
that he would cut them to pieces he
forced two young boys to drink bot
tie of whiskey, making them deathly
sick. These were two of the incidents
that caused him to be finally lodged in
the city prison after having been pur-
sued by Lieutenant Wielsndt, Patrol
Driver Smith and Patrolman Reed.

sta, Ill. northeast Of the city. un-
der whom Essner worked, came to po-

panied by George Wagner, a saloon
keeper at 194S East Lake street.
Stanbaugh lives at 100 Harrisburg
avenue.
Essner, If the stories these men give
are true and can be proven so, broke
into Wagner's cellar on Thursday
morning and stole the whiskey upor
which he became drunk and which he
used later upon the two young boys
Wagner discovered yesterday thai
someone had gained entrance to his
cellar by the aid of a file and Stan.
