DESTRUCTION IN MICHIGAN.
Refugees Camped in Open Fields and
Box Cars.

Detroit, Mich. Oct. 18.-Reports
from the forest fire district of north
ern Michigan were fragmentary to-
day, but there were indications OF
Improvement in the general situation
as far as imminent danger to life and
property was concerned The condi-
tions of the victims who survived the
destruction of their homes and vii
lagos is pitiful in the extreme, with
the likelihood of greater distress and
many deaths from exposure in the
event of a sudden drop of tempera-
ture falling upon the half-clothed re-
fugees camped in b cars and open
fields.
Gov. Fred NJ. Warner to-day issued
an appeal to the people of Michigan
for contributions and Mayor Will
liam B. Thompson of detroit has call
ed a special meeting of the common
council for tomorrow morning to
consider the matter Of contributing
relief.
Effective measures already have
been taken to relieve the suf-
fering victims, and dozens of car
loads of provisions lumber and hay
have been shipped to the burned dis
trict.
Quartermaster Gen. w. J. Rogers
of the State troops, who was sent in
to the district to investigate condi-
tions, telegraphed Gov. Warner to-
day that there was no need of troops
as the fire situation is improved, tenn
porarily at least. The immediate
need is for bedding and food for the
refugees and fodder for horses and
cattle. Gov. Warner has already di-
rected the sending of several hun
dred blankets into the burned dis
trict and all the blankets on hand In
the armory of the State troops at Al
pena have been forwarded there.
