SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

at noon today. Their first act was to
join in lighting the forest fire. An
immense yellow pine, 200 feet from
the telephone station, was blazing
fearfully. The members formed a
bucket brigade and carried water from
the stream, 100 yards below. After
Is minutes of hard work the flames
were put under control. The tree was
located in close proximity to the sta
tion and the danger of it burning was
fully realized by the members of the
party. Big trees are falling in the
forest all around, smoke from the
ridge several miles to the eastward fill
ing that portion of the sky. The fire
has worked we'll around to the south
of Hetch Hetchy and may go through
a large part of the timber between the
middle fork and the main stream of
the Tuolumne Hundreds of the big
pine trees are still falling, Captain
Wells is now in Hetch Hetchy with
most of the soldiers of M and I troops.
The men have been lighting fire for
Is days over in the foothills east of
Groveland.
Lieutenant Felker with Is men is
fighting the fire at Poopenaut Meadows.
Corporal Baer and his men have back
fired around the Hog Ranch to protect
this telephone station. Communication
has not yet been re-established to the
station in the Hetch Hetchy. It is
feared that the fire will work down
into the Hetch Hetchy valley. There
has been no loss of life or of stock.
A brown bear driven in from the
denser timbers by the fire was shot by
a woman this morning.
Forest Ranger John Fiske has just
came into the station and reports that
the fire has jumped in half a dozen
places. In Smith Meadows the cotton
woods along the high ridges between
the middle fork and the main stream
of the Tuolumne, they believe, will
stop the fire to the southwark.
The supervisors party left Hog
Ranch at p. m. for Hetch Hetchy.
They will arrive before nightfall The
trail goes across the path of the fire.
There is no danger, however. Tomor-
row members of the board will exam

Yesterday at Crocker's, State Senator
Curtin of Mariposa and Tuolumne coun-
ties visited the supervisors and had a
long conference in regard to the object
OF their mission. curtin expressed
himself as being heartily In favor of
the city.s project. Curtin said that the
Hetch Hetchy valley would form one OF
the best reservoir sites in the whole
range, and the creation OF a lake there
would add to the beauty OF the district.
Rancher Timothy Carbon. who knows
most of the land between the middle
ana south fork has said the site was an
IDEAL one for reservoir.

CHICAGO. Aug. 21--Franklin Mac

United States senator, civic reformer

announced he will vote for William H.

MacVeagh says he believes William

Emperor in a Monastery

GAR ALEXANDER 1. is believed through
~ out Russia to have survived his alleged
death and official obsequies for many years,
as a voluntary inmate of the Aexeiffsh mon
astery near Tomsk, Siberia
There are many circumstances which could

popular conviction Thus, during the thirty
six years that elapsed between the appearance
of the mysterious hermit of Tomsk in the dis
trict and his actual death in 1864. at great
age,-apparently about ninety.-he seems to
nearly every Prince of the imperial family of
Romanoff, the last one to make the pilgrimage
during his lifetime having been the Caro-
witch Nicholas Alexandrovitch, the gifted
elder brother of Alexander III The hermit
is on record as having been strangely moved
by this particular Princes call, and to have
remarked in taking leave of him, The grand
fathers the fathers, and the children have

of Russia ever passes through Siberia without

of Alexander L., was killed in a carriage acct

to the alleged death of his imperial master. 1t
has always been matter of tradition that it
was the body of Maskoff that was brought to
St Petersburg and entombed there as that of

to elucidate the mystery has ever been able
to discover where else the body of Maskoff
inferred; not even his descendants, who
since then have become through imperial favor
people of Importance. the late Professor
kubatoff of the University of St. Petersburg,
having been his grandson.
To those who are disposed to question what
motive Emperor Alexander L. could possibly
have had for thus withdrawing from view
and abandoning his throne, it may be pointed
out that during the closing years of his reign
he became, through the influence of Madam de
Krudener, deeply imbued with religious senti-
ment, and, as result thereof, with profound
remorse for his share in the responsibility for
the shocking murder of his crazy father,
Emperor Paul, in 1901. Since feelings of an
analogous character are known to have caused
his next brother the Czarovitch Constantine
Paulovitch, to have waived his rights of sue
cession to the throne in favor of still younger
brother Nicholas Paulovitch, who, having
been only five years old at the time of his
fathers assassination, was entirely innocent
of any connection with the tragedy, it is only
natural that Emperor Alexander should have
thought it necessary to make atonement by
surrendering his scepter to this youngest
brother. Nicholas, and by becoming dead to
the world. so as to be able to spend the re-
mainder of his days in penance and prayer.

MUCH less serious were the causes which
A'A led the late Earl of Aylesford, the too
genial Joey" to expatriate himself from
England. ruined beyond all hope, socially and
financially. Not long afterward report was
received to the effect that he had died in Texas.
A coffin containing a body reputed to be that
of the Earl was brought to England, and in
tered at his ancestral home. But grave
doubts were entertained at the time, and still
exist, as to whether he was really dead. A
curious feature in connection with the affair
was that the insurance on his life not col
lected in years afterward. In fact, for all l
know. it has not been paid to this day. Per
haps the Earl still survives under another
name. as an honored and respected member OF
the community in which he lived.
A Timely Death
DOSSIBLY the same is true of the gifted
William Henry Hurlbert, whose alleged
death and burial took place just in the very
nick of time to save him from arrest on
charge of felony, for which a warrant had
been issued by the English authorities. 1t
is claimed that he survived his official death
for many years: that he was repeatedly recog-
nized at Florence and in his old time haunts
of Washington Square, New York; and that
some of the most brilliant letters on European
affairs that appeared for nearly decade after
ward in a New York newspaper were from his
pen.
