FIRES IN TIMBER BELT.
Worst Blaze In History Of Country
Raging In Manitoba.

Winnipeg, Manitoba. - One of
the worst fires in the history Of the
Swan River branch of the Canadian
Northern, the pioneer road of northern
Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Is now
raging in the timber belt to the west
of Hudson Bay Junction. a few miles
west of the Manitoba boundary. News
of the scope of the forest fire first
reached here yesterday. when a flash
from Mistatim said that the fire was
working up toward the depot. The
fire took a number of poles, and con-
%sequently communication Is difficult.
A report says that the Cowan Con-
struction company's tie camp was
burned out. A relief train left here
this morning. The principal damage
Is to settlers.

Herr Wilhelm Voight added to the
gaiety of nations when he personated
a German army officer and held up"
the Mayor of Koepenick. although the
imperial authorities, who DO not relish
that sort of humor. sent him to prison
for his indiscretion. And now he finds
that the Joke" has a serious side.
Uncle Sans laws forbid the admis.
sion of immigrants with a prison rec
ord, and Herr Voight. who wanted to
locate here. has been deported as an
Objectionable alien. The laugh at
present seems to be on the man who
made merry at the expense OF the

BIG DRY DOCK MAY BE SAVED
Sinking of the dewey" Due to acre
l~essness.

Manila, p. /. - II is the general
opinion that the sinking of the dry
dock Dewey was due rather to care
lessness than to a deliberate purpose
upon the part of station employees,
who are Japanese, to cause damage.
The experts declare that the great
floating dock, which vas towed here
from the United States as much ex-
pense, will be saved. The port side,
including the pumps, is submerged
and is partly resting on the bottom.
The starboard is still exposed, but is
settling slowly. 1t is doubtful whether
the s%tarboard pumps alone a avail
much. Meanwhile the tug Piscataqua
was awaiting to assist when the sea
was calmer.
The electrical machinery which op-
crates the valves is badly damaged.

MILLING DIST. In DANGER

Minneapolis, Mimi. Fire starting
IN the seven-story brick building oc-
cupied by the Great Northern lmple-
ment company and the ROCK Island
Pillow Seventh avenue south
and Third street, at 1910 O'Clock
spread to many adjoining bulidlngs,
causing such a confagration as Min
n~eapolis had not seen in many months,
threatening the whole milling district
and entailing a loss that will foot up
into the hundred thousands.
The first alarm was followed
promptly by a 2-11, which in turn was
followed by a general alarm. which
calls out the full fighting force OF the
department.
The building where the fire original
ed is practically destroyed. The hVe-
story brick structure occupied by the
Waterbury Implement company was
so badly damaged as to be nearly a
total loss. The J. l.. Case company's
building is separated by Seventh ave
nue. from the Waterbury building and
the iremen directed their eforts TO
saving this structure, in which they
succeeded.
Many of the adjoining buildings
were small structures and these went
quickly. The old Sixth Avenue hotel
at Sixth and Washington, a three
store frame, was badly damaged, its
occupants getting cut none too soon.
Cinders and blazing brands, borne by
the wind, covered the whole neighbor.
hood.
The streets were filled with half
clad people from the hotel and lodg-
ing houses, and some of them were
slightly burned by falling sparks, but
none seriously.
Although only the roof Of the Sixth
Avenue, or Laman's hotel was at
tackled by fire, the entire structure is
little less than a ruin, as it was a
ed with water from attic to cellar.
Nothing but a triangular pillar OF
brick remains of the Rock Island Pillow
and Great Northern Implement com
panies' building. The roof fell soon
after the iremen arrived, as h fire

was a mass of flames. With the roof
went one after the other of the seven
floors, leaving the bare skeleton of
walls standing, but not for long.
The wall nearest the Waterbury
building fell with a crash that could
be heard for blocks. 1t was followed
rapidly by all The others, and brick
were thrown for great distances, but,
so far as could be learned, no one was
1urt.
Chief Canterbury confined his eff
!orts to saving surrounding property,
as he saw at once that the two build.
ings were doomed. After sending in
the general alarm, St. Paul volun-
teered help, and several engine com
panies were soon on their way and
proved of great assistance, as two
other fires in different part of the city
broke out at the same time.
This is the first time since April %,
1907, that a general alarm has been
sounded in this city. That was on
the occasion of the burning of the
Wisconsin Central freight depot on
lower Hennepin avenue.
Shortly after 2 o'clock it appeared
that the fires were under control and
there seemed to be small danger that
1t would spread outside of the square
where it originated.
