A BRAKE PUT UPON
 DEVASTATING FLAMES
The Fires in Minnesota and Wisconsin at
 Least Temporarily Checked.
Twelve Thousand Persons Have Been Rendered Home less by the Forest Fires Which Swept Over Four Counties Saturday.

Duluth, Sept 6-After destroying Chisholm and burning over thousands of acres in St. Louis, Carlton and Itasca counties, Minnesota and the northern portion of Douglas county, Wisconsin. the fire was checked to- day. If the wind does not spring up again it is not likely to do more damage.
 Thousands of homeless people were given a chance today to take their stock and remaining belongings and prepare places to take up life again. The towns of Buhl and Nashwauk were saved by valiant all night work by 1000 miners and citizens. It was entirely surrounded by a wall of fire all the time. The damage to property is estimated at S2,OO0,O ,O00.
 The damage to personal property at other places is fully $75,OOO more. Hibbing. five miles west of Chisholm is affording shelter to about 5000 peo- pie. A car of tents was Started from Duluth today. There are many des-

lets. The shooting was caused by a dispute over a mining claim.
 According to information Mckenzie rode up to the Hanson farm and seeing Mrs. Hanson, the mother, standing in the yard, opened fire on her but missed. She sought refuge in the house. The oldest son rushed out to order McKinzie away and was met with a fusilade of shots. The father hearing the shooting hurriedly procured a rifle and met McKinzie when a fierce battle followed, the combatants running from a wood pile to trees and rocks.
 McKinzie fired many shots into the house and two of the children in bed with their grandmother were shot. After the battle had lasted half an hour Hanson laid the desper- ate prospector low. Hanson says he had to kill McKinzie to save his fam lily and himself. The coroner and Sheriff Lamb have left for the scene.

ENEMIES OF THE GAR
 CONVENE IN LONDON
A Gathering of NihiIists From All Parts of
 the World.
Their Ranks, However Are Permeated by InfOrmers Who Apprise the Russian Government All Plans for It's Overthrow.

London, Sept 6.-Nihilists abound in London at present for these enemies of the czar have come here from all parts of the world to attend a secret conference in this city to decide upon what is to be done in Russia.
 The men and women, for there are many women among them, have been drawn from the most extreme mem bers of the Russian Revolutionary party
 Many of them have come here" said a secret service man who is one of the greatest authorities on anarch- ists and their doing, to me last night, with ordinary passports, and some of them have come with none but it is certain that the Russian government knows all about them and in spite of all their precautions every word which is uttered (nothing is written) will be faithfully reported to the Russian po- lice by means of the spies who obtain admission as members.
 You can be sure that out of the eighty members there are about ten in formers. There is no doubt that this congress is a revolutionary parliament or "a very duNdnCeu type loT lHe us cussion of Russian politics and quite different from the social democratic congress of last year although some persons have been in both assemblies" |"
 The members of the congress began to assemble yesterday morning about ten o'clock No one in the vicinity of the hall seemed to be aware of their coming as by ones and twos they pass ed into the narrow doorway. They had attracted no special notice on pre- vious mornings from the neighbOring residents and shopkeepers.
 A thorough system of watch and ward had evidently been established for when anyone approached who might be suspected of an endeavor to obtain surreptitious admission signals were unobtrusively yet effectively giv- en by scouts, by movements of the hands and arms Anxious faces occa- sionally appeared at a small window on the first floor and hand signals were passed as an inquiring face peer

Washington, Sept. 6.-The presi- dents final annual message to con gress will recommend an increase in the numerical strength of the army to 100000. It is at present 6O.OOO. The law provides that the army may be increased to 100000 in time of need.
 Considerable force will be required to garrison the Qualifications at Pearl Harbor Hawaiian islands. At least 1000 will be required. There are now 10000 Japanese in Hawaii, and hence in the remote possibility of war the small force of troops in the island would be inadequate.
