The Devastation Covers an Area of One
 Hundred Square Miles
Though Only Four Persons Known to Have Perishe There are Scores Who Have Not Been Heard of-The Flames Temporarily Checked.

Reports all show that the fire was fully as serious at it was at first re- ported The burned over district eX- tends from point ten miles out or Es- canaba, to Talbot on the south. to Charming and Quinnesec on the west, Sands on the north and back to Es- caa ba. The flames were fiercest along the Escanaba and Lake Superior line. II is in this district that a thOusanC or more small fires have been smOlder- ing for weeks. Nothing was thought of these fires because they were not dangerous but it only needed a wind to fan them into a mighty sheet of flame. This wind came on Friday afternoon.
 Toward noon the wind began to blow 1 from the west at the rate of thirty miles an hour. By 2 o'clock the veloc i ity was forty miles an hour and by 4 1 o'clock the small fires seemed to have united into one large one that ex- tended over fifty miles stretch and swept along with d fury that no hu- man hand could stay. The flames seemed to center upon a place called Northland and from there swept down Howard Escanaba. Throughout the ter ritory hundreds of woodsmen were put to work to stay the fire. but it could not be fought It marched on and 1t
 
 some of the towns were saved. The first to be driven out were the woods men in camp and the homes;eaders. | Hundreds of small and prosperous farmers live in the territory and the occupants of these farms hurried to the nearest towns for shelter. Cattle and stock and houses and barns and their contents were left for the flames.
 Wagons were hurriedly loaded with personal effects and the race against the flames began.
 In some instances whole families lcame in. Many, however, reported that lsome of the members had been separ- ated and left behind Some of the i towns were hemmed in on all sides. Talbot and Quinnesec are the most notable examples. At both a hard fight was put up. but in the end the places had to be abandoned. There
 was little that human effort could do to check the flames. Water was scarce
 and even when it was plentiful it was of no avail in combating the flames. Hundreds Of wOodmen fought in spots throughout the districts. Step by step
 they would back up trying at each ster to backfire the flames. Clearings were burned over with fires that could | be controlled. Then when the flames reached there they found nothing more to consume. In this manner many ci | the towns in the path of the conflagra-
 tion were saved.
 ! Gradually the fire died down and the flames began to smolder and although they are not spreading it will only need
 a fresh wind to start them again in all their fury.

A COMPROMISE
 ON AMNESTY
ParIiament'S Demands to
 be Partially Granted
The Policy of the Car to Put the Blame for Rupture Upon the COn- gFess.

St. Petersburg, May 19.-The week closes with suspense over what the next few days will bring forth, but it already is certain that Emperor Mich olas and the government do not regard the address of the lower house in re- ply to the speech from the throne as an ultimatum, beyond the demand for amnesty. which the emperor will seek to satisfy Partial pardon for political offenders will be granted, and the other demands of the address will be considered declarations of opinion, upon which the emperor is not called to pass until they find expression by legislative enactment.
 The trip of President Muromtsef to Peterhoff today as had been anticipat- ed was productive of no changes ir the situation. Though the leader oi the house received the utmost consid- eration and was singled out by the emperor for special attentions, the subject of the address was. by tacit understanding, avoided.
 The government certainly does not intend to yield to the demands of par liament, but the &esire to avoid z i conflict is becoming increasingly ap- parent It seems to be the policy oi I the government, while conceding the minimum demands, to compel parlia- ment by pacific assurances to assume | the responsibility for a fresh hostil, l initiative.
