Forests Still Burning.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 16. - Grand
Marais is girdled by roaring mountains
of fire and smoke and it is believed a
man named Monker and six Indians,
cut off firm town by fire in their efforts
to save homesteaders, have persisted in
the flames. This is the news brought
in by Adjutant General Wood and otfi-
GERS of the Minnesota naval militia
whohave arrived from the north shore.
They say the danger is not yet over by
any means. Lutzen, small settlement
ner Grand Marais, is in the greatest
danger, say the militiamen. 1t is sur
rounded by fire and everything there
seems doomed to destruction, although
it is not thought any loss of life will
occur. At Colville, six miles from
Grand Marais, everything went, said
General Wood.

PRIESTS
PARADE
CATHOLIC CONGRESS
IN LONDON ENDED.
PROCESSION OF CLERGY MARCH
THROUGH THE STREETS
TO CATHEDRAL.

London, Sept. IA great procession
of great Catholic clergy, which brought
the eucharist congress to an end, was
held Sunday afternoon amid scenes
such as the English churchmen who
planned it never saw before. Cardinal
Vannutelli, the pope's delegate, headed
the procession, wearing his scarlet robes
and hat, but not carrying the host. He
was accompanied by a bodyguard of
English peers, of whom the duke Of
Norfolk was the most prominent, and
a concourse of cardinals, archbishops
and bishops, who also were attired in
unceremonial robes instead Of vest
ments which it originally had been pro-
posed they should wear.
No such throngs Of people have been
seen in London since Queen Victoria 3
funeral, if even then.
The route of the procession was laid
through the quiet streets adjacent to
the cathedral and but for the unex-
pected partizan strife, which a dis
cussion OF this ceremony brought on,
probably would have been solemnized
in revarent atmosphere. The great ma
jority of those who attempted to wit
ness the spectacle, however, apparently
were attracted by curiosity and small
part were openly and demonstratively
hostile. The Catholic element cheered
heartily while the procession passed by
and through the route, but there was
heard also considerable "booing," such
as the English people use in theaters
to express displeasure at any Of the
plays.
The people began focking toward
the cathedral hours before the process
sion started.
Long before the hour set for the cere
mony, it was impossible to get near the
line of march. All the streets leading
in that direction were packed and the
windows overlooking the procession
which were rented at high prices, wer'
filed. A number of persons tainted
in the church and were carried off b,
ambulances.
After the procession had reentere'
the cathedral, Cardinal Vannutelli ap
peared on the high balcony in gor
geous robes and elevated the host
while thousands Of Catholics outsid
the building reverently knelt.

 But the mere fact that Manager Moles- worth is going to get some new faces is good news.

 Manager Molesworth is going after these men.
