Great Fire. in tho Forest.

A dispatch from Vancouver, B. c., says:
Forest fires are causing tremendous losses
In every part of the province. The flames
are beyond all human control and moth
ing short of heavy rainfall can stop
them. Timber of the finest quality has
been destroyed by the millions of feet.
Smoke is SO thick and 80 widespread that
vessels &. sea are obliged to observe all
the precautions brought into use during
heavy fogs. At Wellington the fires have
even encroached upon The town. Loco
motives are hauling water and small
army Of railway employees are fighting
desperately to save the terminus Of the
Esquimalt & Eastern Railway. The
chances appear to be against their sue
cess. A school-house has been burned
and many other buildings are threatened.
Worst of all, the fire is making steady
progress, despite every effort, toward the
Hamilton power works.

ADMINISTRATIONS.
tThe answer to your first question
is very simple aud to the second al
most equally so. The third required
some investigation, but the facts are
these: First--The Legislature has
required Of the Government that
every man on it's pay rolls must be
an American citizen. Second--The
keeper OF the park is government
employee and is paid out Of the
fund appropriated for park pur-
poses. Third-The present park
keeper is not an American citizen.
He was brought out hero few
months ago from Scotland, upon
the recommendation OF Mr. MoIn-
tyre, an expert gardener in the en-
ploy OF S NJ Damon. While on this
subject the fact may be rung in that

under the Superintendent OF Public

John L. Milton appeared before Judge

He had gone to the attorney in order
that charge of forgery might be pre-

in the affidavit is that of passing a
forged check for $12 on Charles Nor

1t was stated that Milton had COM

CONGRESSIONAL DoINes
Action of High Legislative Body on
Two important Measures.

washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
spent the greater part yesterday dis
cussing an amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill striking out
the house provision giving authority
to the secretary of agriculture to in
spect imported food products when
nisbranded or suspected of impurity.
The amendment was suggested by
Mr. Aldrich. who said the provision
opened the way for an encroachment
by the secretary of agriculture on the
duties of the secretary of the treasury
and was calculated to cause a duplica-
ton in the services of the two officials
Messrs. Lodge, Beveridge, Patterson
and others supported Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr.. Proctor, in charge of the bill, de-
Tended the provision and had the aid
of Messrs. Dolliver, McComas, Bacon
and others. The discussion was closed
by substituting the provision of the
act of 1900 bearing on the same point.
This solution of the problem was sug-
gested by Mr. Proctor and was accept
ed by all. Consideration of the bill
practically was concluded but final ac-
ton on it was postponed until today
in order to allow an inspection of it

ONE WAY TO STOP 1T
Cad Should be Used on Rowdy College
Boys, Says Judge Hord.


Columbus, Ind, Feb. 25.-Judge
Francis T. Hord, of the Bartholomew
county circuit court, expresses him
self in no mild terms in regard to
the class spirit of the kind that has
been in the air at the Indiana Uniyer
sity and Wabash College for the last
few days. He says that the two soph-
ignores who brought Frank Hare, the
freshman scrap captain, to this city,
last Saturday night, ought to have
been indicted in this city, and tried for
assault and battery and kidnapping.
He thinks the action of the students
is a disgrace, and he advises the liber-
al use of the CAD. Not long ago Ed
ward SimontOn, a teacher in this coun-
ty, whipped three boys with a wagon
whip, and this has caused a great deal
of comment from all over the state.
Judge Hord says that if this rule was
applied in colleges there would be less
class scraps and more actual good at
tanned than there ever can be while
the present conditions prevail.

FIRST OF ITS KIND
Sweeping Injunction LeveIed at Chi
cago Central Labor Union.

sweeping injunction LCNSlCG dl SH'-
cago Central Labor Union.
Chicago, Feb. 25.-On the sworn
statement of officials of the Dearborn
Duster company that the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor was engaged in as
sisting strikers in unlawful acts of
intimidation and violence, Judge Jesse
Holdom has issued an injunction
against the Central Labor Union.
President William G. Schardt and
Secretary Edward H. Nockels are es-
pecially named as defendants, together
with a host of girls and men strikers
belonging to the Feather Duster Max
ers' union. The attempt of the COM
pany to connect the Federation of
Labor with the acts complained of is
the first of its kind in Chicago. II
successful il will connect that body
with the alleged conspiracy to put en-
ployers out of business unless they
grant union demands. All criminal
acts will, it is claimed, render every
member of a labor union responsible.
Judge Holdom's injunction is said to
be one of the most sweeping ever is
sued in Chicago.
