AER0NAUT IS KILLED
CHARLES OLIVER JONES MEETS
 AWFUL DEATH.
The Accident Occurred at Fair Grounds in Full View of Twenty-Five Thousand Hor-
 Eihed Spectators,

WaterviIle. Maine. Sept 2.-In full view of 25,0oo horrihed spectators, as- sembIed on the Central Maine fair grounds here late to-day. Charles ol- iyer Jones, of Hammonisport. N. r., aeronaut, fell a distance of i've hum dred feet to his death. Among the Wit nesses of the frightful plunge were Mrs. Jones and child. and they were almost the first to reach the side or the dying man. Jones died an hour and a half after the accident
 Jones had been at the fair grounds with his dirigible balloon Boomer ang." known as Strobel airship. since Monday. To-day he arranged to make a slight ascent between and { o'clock. but such a high wind pre- walled that a delay was necessary. At 4:S0 conditions had modified, and he gave the word to have the machine released.
 When the aeronaut reached q height of more than 500 feet the spectators were amazed to see small tongues Of flame issuing from under the gas bag in front of the motor. At this time the balloon had passed out of the fair grounds Many persons in the great crowd endeavored to apprise Jones Of his danger. but several minutes clap sed before he noticed the Are. Then he grasped the rope cord and by let ting out gas endeavored to reach the earth. The machine had descended but a short distance when a sudden burst of flame enveloped the gas bag and the framework immediately sep- arating 1t from the bag.
 Jones fell with the frame of his motor, and when the spectators reach ed him he was lying under It. The gas bag was completely destroyed. The physicians who were in the crowd. found that Jones had no chance to survive as he was injured internally and his spine was broken.
 Jones had trouble with his balloon weather Monday night. which caused a number of leaks. through the con traction of the gas bag. It is thought that the bag leaked again to-day and that spark from the motor caused the disaster. Jones was 43 years old.

 And the rest of what they said was lost in the direction of many voices raised in one tunultuous shout.
 Premature Meeting.
 The meeting of the two leaders oc- cured prematurely. For two days the city has been excited by reports that they would be brought together at a reception to be held at the Lincoln Club after the parade. Judge Taft had accepted and so had Senator Foraker. The meeting was to have occurred at the club rooms but within a few hours after publication of the news that be- came apparent that no club room in the city could take care of the crowds that desired to be present. Accord ingly arrangements were made to hold the reception at the Lyceum Theatre. The whole city was on tiptoe of ex- pectancy when it become known that the Presidential candidates had ar- rived at the stand and Senator Foraker had appeared near the head of the line of march. A
 Those who saw the Senator and re- alized that the meeting might take place ahead of time, rushed to the of- iciai stand on Madison Avenue. bee tween 18th and f4th Streets. The re- suit was that this neighborhood was packed for blocks. Many, of course. could not see what occurred on the stand, but they took their cue from the shout which arose from that loca- ton and swelied the volume of noise till echoes of 1t could be heard half a mile above the music of the bands.

Fierce Fire Is Raging
 Ln California Forests

Sonora, Cal. Sept. 2.--Ths Caiaveras group Of big trees. one of the natural wonders of the world. is in serious dan ger tonight of destruction by fire.
 Starting from sparks thrown off by an engine used to haul logs on Monday last, the fire quickly spread to the heavy timber mile west of the north grove of big trees. All the forest ran- gers in the district were quickly gath cred and they together with the set- around and in the grove and the em- ployes of the Big Tree Hotel. have fought the flames ever since. They have thus far saved the hotel, but have been unable to prevent the fire gaining headway in a direction that tonight menaced the giant trees.
 Conflicting reports, however, were received as to the extent of the dam- age done tip to this time The first point of telephonic communication with the grove is Murphys. some fifteen miles distant and from this place late today word was sent that the fire had reached the edges of the grove of mammoth trees and. driven by a strong wind, was threatening to wipe out everything before it. There Is little. if any, undergrowth of bush among the big trees, however. It is hoped and believed by the settlers and rang CTS that the fire will not readily take hold of the living trees. The dead giants. however. will probably be de- stroyed.
 Already '"rhe Mother of the Forest" a great dead hulk at the edge of the grove. is aflame and like great glow ing torch is threatening it's living neighbors. The Mother" lies 327 feet long. with trunk seventy eight feet In circumference, and 1t will take per- haps week for the flames to consume it.
 The destruction of the big grove would be little short of a calamity. The only living specimens of the Se- quoias gigantea, or big trees. are those found in California. and there are but

Up to Powers.


 Paris, Sept. 2.--After an informal conference by the ministers this aft ernoon and the exchange of telegrams with Premieur Clemeneeau, the Asso- ciated Press was authorized to an- nounce that France intends to pursue the policy already mapped out and that the powers will be allowed to decide whether her course or that of Ger many Is preferable.
 The tone of the afternoon newspa- pers ia temperate but firm and indi- cates conviction that the opinion of the outside world will be on the side of France. The Temps declares that Germany's move proves that she Intends to play her own game in Mo rocco.
 "After demanding the intervention of Europe at Algeciras," this paper says, Germany Is now pursuing a policy in Morocco without regard to Europe"
 Contining. the paper points out that France considers herself bound to view the situation from the gen. eral standpoint, even to the neglect of her own interests. Had she desired to take advantage of the situation. the concentration of a hostile army under one of Mulai Hafd's lieutenants on the Algerian frontier would have furnished an ample excuse to take only her military security into considera- ton. Instead. France allowed Mulai Hafid to be proclaimed Sultan at Oudja, and acting in accord with Spain, she undertook to secure preliminary guar antees to safeguard the interests of all powers and to arrange an understand ing among the powers, thing which Is essential as the guarantees them

four groups of these. containing many notable trees. Of these the Caizveras grove is probably the most remarkable. It was thought last night that the fire had been finally brought under control but this morning a strong wind came out of the west and quickly famed the smouidering embers, scattering the sparks in every direction.
 The fire on Monday burned the south side of Alpine Ridge, and large force of men turned out to fight it. The next morning 1t broke out in three places and famed by a noontime wind again turned toward the great grove. Soon a blaze was seen to break from the top of General Grant. one of the finest of the giant trees The upper branches of Garfield, standing nearby, also caught fire but the fire did not burn lower down in either of these trees.
 A. J. whitesides. owner of the big tree grove and the hotel. is packing his belongings preparatory to leaving. People in the vicinity are much dis- tressed and have turned out for miles to assist the forest rangers. It Is be- I,eved that no one has perished, all though deer and mortals are fleeing from the country. It Is reported that a mountain lion and deer were run ming side by side this morning paying no attention to each other, intent only on saving their lives.

selves. This was explained repeatedly to Germany through diplomatic chan nels.
 ITO recognize Mrf"f Hafid," tho paper declares, "w-shodt knowing whether or not he will accept the Algeciras act or subscribe to the en- gagements of the empire toward Eu- rope is policy of incoherence worthy Of M. Jaures."
 Germanyss note. this journal goes on. means nothing or it means that Germany demands the unconditional re- cognition of Mulai Hahd. If the lat- ter. it is unacceptable.
 Germany has the right to pursue her own policy, but if she ruEis counter to the interests of Europe she must not be astotnished If she finds herself isolated. It Is certain that the other powers have sufficient authority with out Germany to exact the necessary guarantees. Frances line of conduct is inspired by the general interest and 1t will not be modified.
 "Perhaps when Dr. Vassel presents the olive branch from wilhelmstrasse Muiai Hafid may remember that the favors of this particular Consul may have cruel sequels; that Germany changes her proteges in Morocco as elsewhere, and that the promptest re- cognition is not always the most dur able. If the interest of Europe Is to treat unitedly with the Sultan of Mo- rocco, whoever he may be. it Is the interest of the Sultan to treat with a United Europe"
 The Libcrte is of the opinion that this coup Is directly at France. but says that even Germany's allies must protest against this attempt on the part of Emperor William to monopo- ike a situation in which all the pow CTS are interested.
 ''The period of tension has been re- moved" says The Liberte, but we need not be alarmed as the tone or the foreign press shows on which side are the syrnpathies of the world"

War News Affects Markets.

AoCAAAhs SSpNs G-IHG DOuTS0 was somewhat affected and German consols were weaker today following the pulp lication of reports from Paris and London that the German circular to the Powers suggesting that the speedy recognition of Mulai Hafid would be in the interests of peace. had created dissatisfaction
 sl Some apprehensions were felt here as to whether the action of Germany was not being misinterpreted abroad instead of being accepted as an act di- rected towards clearing up the con- fused situation. Although the foreign office did not supplement in any way the simple announcement of having sent its views with regard to Moroc- the government had long been antict- pated, because German official reports from Morocco as early as June indi- cated that the Sultan of Record, Ab- del Aziz was losing the effective sup port of the tribes and his cause ap- peared to be lost,
 The result of the battle three weeks ago in which the forces of Mulai Hafid triumphed over those of Abdel Aziz had been forecasted by the German agents in Morocco.
 The prevailing view here was that nothing could be subserYed by indefi- inte delay and that 1t was entirely proper for Germany to suggest what appeared to be the natural course for the signatory powers. that is. to ac- cept the situation and recognize the victorious party.
 While the press and public opinion in France and England appear to be exceedingly sensitive to Germany's taking any part In Moroccan affairs, 1t Is not believed that the French and British governments will take any ex- ception to what Is considered here a perfectly reasonable and sound action.
 Germany. it is almost certain. indI- cated her intentions to Austria in advance and received Austrias full approval and 1t Is not unlikely that at least one other power has already associated herself with the German view.
