"chauge of heart" Of the republican
managers, and intimsted thst 10 his
opinion, the "the damage has already
been done" and the speaking trip will
not swing disgrurtled republicans into
line.

The address OF Haywood will be the
virtual opening OF the socialistic csm-
paign. he will deal more with the labor
question during the speech, but as he
interrupted his western tour to make

Targier, Sept. 7.-Whatever hope
Abdul Aziz may have hsd of finally de-
featipg Mulai Hs6d, the newly pro-
claimed sultaU, and regsiuing the throne,
vanished lodsy on the receipt of news
from fbe scene ofthe latest fighting, near
Morocco City, that Ksid Mtougi and

MulsPs Hafd's forces, with no chance OF
escape. Mlougi is seeking terms OF sur

ton of Ksid ApdoOS, one of his chief
supporters. Ntougi is the only general
of AbduPs once formidable army who is
still in the field and with bis defeat the
last vestige of the former sultsn's mill
tary power has disappeared. Realizing
The hopeless of continuing the struggle,
Abdul has released his followers from
further allegiance to him. "Let those
who desire to follow Mulai Hafid from
now on, do So" he announced to his
men. The final defeat of Mtougi was &C
complished by Ell Glaoui, whose forces
we're routed by AbduPs army last week.

The Kings Absence.

l. ndon, Sept. 7.-Despite reported
ASSERTIONS from court circles that Kirg
Edward was wholly Indifferent to the
protests of the Protestant alliance against
the kings proposed reception 10 honor
of Cardinal Vincent Vannntelli, the
papal legste to the Eucharis'i' congress,
IL wss announced today that the king
had found it impossible to be in London
during the week of the congress. The
decision OF the king ID absent himself is
universally interpreted as an effort to es'
cape the embarrassing situation which
the protest forced.
When the protest from the Prote,tlnIs
was first made, the king announced tina
his welcome to the papsl ltgste would
iu no wise be violation of his oath a.
king, which forbids him from officially
recognizing Catholicism.

net, of the two manufactures of the Alge-

Forest Fires.

Daluth, MIMI, Sept. With Louis,
ItSsca and Carleton counties In MINNIE
sta, nd Douglass county, Wisconsin,,
laid waste, the forest fires which have
ragged nesr here for S6 hours, are under
coutrol today and further destruction OF
property is not expected unless the wind
takes an unfavorsble shift. Prompt
action was taken todsy following the is
susDce of Gov. Johnson's proclamation
last night to relieve the suffering OF the
IA, 900 people rendered homeless by toe
fire. A city of tents lie springiDg up on
the out.kirls of the town of Hibbing and
in them the thousands of refugees from
the devastated towns are finding shelter.
Martial law has been declared In tue
burned district Before the flames bad
been checked property loss of 81, OOO,-
900 had been caused. Chisholm, sixty
miles north of Duluth, sustained the
grestest loss, about 81, 900, 600. Today
only blsckened ruinp, smoking piles OF
chsrred wood snd htlle gray heaps OF
sshes comprise whsl on saturday was
the most f0urisbiog town on the Mesaoa
range. Hartley, Shehando and Pills
bury are believed to have beea destroyed.
When the fire got beyond control
Saturday, it swept down on Chisholm
almost without warning and the place
was quickly destroyed. HibbiDg was
saved by desperate fire fighting and the
sudden subsistence of the wind. When
Governor johnson called out company
of militia late Saturday night, 1t was on
informstiOn that ghouls were at work
among the ruins of Chisholm. This
later proved untrue, but the governor
will keep the troops on the scene unt
order Is restored. The disaster is the
greatest that has ever visited the Messba
range. Special trains bearing pro-
visions and clothing for the refugees
are running into Hibbing today, and 1t
| is believed that, by nightfall, most oil
the suffering will be relieved.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. Three men
and one woman are believed to have
persisted In the forest fires outside Of
Hibbiug. They are three lumbermeu
and the wife Of one Of them. They
we've driven into town late yesterday
by the hsmes, but later returned into
the FIRE district to get their camp out
fits. They have not been seen since
At 9 a. m. today $1,000 had been
raised here for the sufferers ct Chisholm
and the subscriptions we're coming In
rapidly.
Advices today from the ruins Of CHS
holm state that the national gusrdsmer
there today arrested 80 men found tam
pering with cash registers in the ruins
The moving of practically the whole
population Of Chisholm to HibbiDg Wal
accomplished without accident.

New York Politics,

New York, Sept. More than ever
the question of whether or not Governor
Hughes shall be renominated is today a
nstional issue. II has passed the narrow
limits OF q state 6gh! and has become a
factor in the larger contest throughout
the country. This has been brought more
directly home 10 the state leaders who
have been opposing Hughes by the re-
ception accorded the governor at Youns-
town last Saturday where he opened the
Ohio campaign. 1t is not only in Ohio
that the sympathy Ofthe people are with
Hughes 10 this emergency. 1t is an ac-
cuIsts statement of the case to say thst
President RooseyeIt's main resson for in-
terfeii1g il the selection Of the New
York gubernsiorial candidate wss his
information from all parts OF the country
that failure of the publicans in this
state to endorse Hughes by naming him
for another term would cause such dis
rust of the parry 10 other ststas that
many votes would be lost.
The plain people OF Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa and Mel rsska, it Is ssid, would re-
gard his defeat as q serious reflection
upon the integrity of the republican
party managers here. President Rose
welt, Judge Taft aud National Chairman
Hitchcock Gre 20 in pressed with this that
every possible influence is being brougbi
to bear to break up the combination
against Hughes. 1t is expected that the
Gght will be carried to the floor OF the
convention. 10 some way that has mol
yet been disclosed it Is Anticipated thai
the president will bring to the attention
OF the delegates the national importance
of the question before them. Elihu koos,
Secretary of State, will be temporary
chairman Of the convention and as such
will make the key note speech. 1t would
not be at all surprising If be should b'
made the medium Of conveying this nles'
sage and his remarks will be listened Il
with more than ordinary interest fcl
this reTsOu.

Boston, Sept. New clews which

THE only church nurs r. for babies IN
the United States was opened at Syrs-
o,sc, n. Y, yesterday, when the
Centenary NJ. E. Church, reconstructed
during the summer, held its first service.
There was a maid in charge, blocks,
books of rhyme and variety OF toys.
Rev. E. L. Waldorf, the pastor says:
Drying babies will raise voices With
ont the usual effect at service. Inc
walls of the room will be sound-prOoi.
Lullabies will be sung, and no one Will
be disturbed. Mothers may leave the
children 10 a coy crib or cuddled up on
a couch and occupy rocking chsirS just
outside the double doors st the rear OF
the balcony. So long as the babies are
quiet they may stay with their mothers
Mr.. Waldorf hopes by this new idea
to have large congregations, but he will
find that this like other devices to draw
crowds to church will have but shot,
run.

him at the outset of his love sffsir with
Miss Elkins, has accepted his dttermi.

showed thst Mrs. Hernice had been shot
Eve times; Baker was killed by shot
in the left temple. Baker had killed
Mrs. Htrnice between II and | O'Clock,
