NARROWING TALES

Death, Destruction, Horrible Suffer-

Swept Over Michigan.
Schoolhouse In Path OF Flames Is
Swept from Earth, the Children
Having Narrow Escape.-Hor-
rors Simply Beyond
Description.

Alpena, Mich.-Out of the burned
stories of suffering and dangers en-
dured by those who survived the
flames. Miss Cassie Rowland had
twenty-six little children in her
school near Milersburg Friday after
noon. At the afternoon recess the
the woods about the little school
louise were blazing fiercely. The chill.
Cren started for their homes, but
were compelled to go TO a neighbor-
ing house for shelter. Miss Rowland
says she could hardly face the wind
during the walk of a quarter of a
nile to her own home. After she
reached It, the heat grew so intense
that the women were compelled to
seek shelter in the cellar, while the
men fought to save the house
"Then," says Miss Rowland, ref
ugees who had escaped with their
lives by lying in the plowed field with
their faces buried in the sand began
10 arrive. They kept coming all
through the night, all more or less
burned in their flight through the
woods. A boy named Dust. one of the
family of children which on Saturday
was reported burned, brought in the
charred remains of his little sister in
his pocket handkerchief. His father
and mother had already arrived at
our house. Their grief was terrible.
Then another of their children. a
little girl, arrived carrying baby.
The child's dress was completely
burned off and her little body was a
mass of blisters.
But one fresh report of loss OF life
came into Alpena on Sunday. Henry
Hines, his wife and two children are
believed to have been cremated on
their farm near Cathro. Between
Metz and Rogers City seven more
bodies have been found, making to.
tai of twenty.six lives that are known
to have been lost in Presque Isle and
Alpena counties since Thursday night.

mel at Elgin, H. His identity, how
ever, was not discovered until the
following day. Luetgert was visiting
an amusement park, when, to attract

New York.-Months Of search for a
group OF counterfeiters alleged to

spurious Zoe and 25c pieces was re-
warded on Thursday by the discovery
of the counterfeiting plant in tene-
ment on the east side in this city. Sc
thoroughly equipped plant, and the
coins, nearly a thousand of which

rounced almost perfect enough to de-
ceive experts. No one was found in

MEN BATTLE FOR HOURS

the opening of the big Sioux Indian

spread CONSERVATION among them

without registering.
For hours these 10000 visitors, as
sisted by the several thousand men,
women and children who live here,
had the fight OF their lives to pre-
venting the town from being swept
eway by the fierce wall of flames
which swept down from the Indian
reservation and babe fair to envelop
the entire town in its fiery embrace.
Five residences on the outskirts
nearest the fire were destroyed and
q hundred others caught fire, but the
blazes were extinguished without
much damage.
The fire came in sight miles off In
the prairie at noon. 1t came down
from the Indian reservation and
probably caused loss of life among
the Indian cabins in the valley,
where the grass and weeds are high.
The alarm was sounded when 1t
was seen that the blaze was headed
for Dallas and everybody turned out
TO fight the fire. The visitors from
the east and south did not under.

Balkan Situation Improving.

ST. Petersburg.-After exhaustive
inquiries at the foreign office and the
embassies there is no confirmation
Of the Anglo-Russian agreement as
outlined by the Bourse Gazette. On
the contrary, negotiations with reI

than this published program would
indicate. The situation, however,
has entered upon a distinctly brighter
stage. Although Austria-Hungary Of

POWERS REACH
AN AGREEMENT
European Conference is Expected
to Settle the Balkan Question
to Satisfaction Of All.
Every Desire to Arrive at an Under.

terests Of Turkey at the Same
Time, Has Been Shown.

LondOn.-Great Britain, Russia and
France have reached an agreement
on a program To be submitted to the
other powers as basis for discussion
by the proposed European conference
to settle the Balkan question. The
proposals to be laid before the confer
ence are eight in number.
The first is to the effect that arti-
cles l to % of the treaty of Berlin,
which relate to Bulgaria and eastern
Rumelia, shall be replaced by stipula.
lions recognizing the independence
of Bulgaria as at present constituted
and determining the financial obliga-
tfons of Bulgaria toward Turkey. New
clauses probably will settle also the
question of the Oriental railway.
The second and third proposals are
that the powers shall take note of the
annexation by Austria.Hungary of
Bosnia and Herzegovina and the re-
turn of the Sanjak of Novipazar to
Turkey.
The fourth article relates to Crete
it Is understood that the powers un.
der whose protection Crete has been
Russia, Great Britain France and
Italy-will settle the Cretan question
In concert with Turkey before refer
ring 1t to the conference.
The fifth proposal is to the effect
that arrangements similar to the
above shall apply to the Armenian
provinces of Turkey.
The sixth article deals with Monte
negro. The Montenegrian rights of
sovereignty are limited by article 30
of the treaty of Berlin It is proposed
that articles 20 to 80, inclusive, of
the Berlin treaty shall be condensed
TO single article abrogating all the
restrictions imposed by the treaty un.
Ger the original article 20, which II is
proposed to sweep away.
The seventh point In the program
Is the statement that II is desirable to
seek and give compensation to Servia
and Montenegro by ratification OF
the Bosnian and Herzegovina from
tiers adjoining Novipazar. This is
taken to imply that strip will be
taken from the territory annexed by
Austria-Hqngary.
The eighth proposal concerns the
river Danube, and declares 1t is desir.
bble to revise the regulations govern
ing Danube traffic so as to give larger
rights to the states bordering on the
river.

purposes. Ultimately an agreement
