of the United States with Great Brit
ain.
In the summer of 1907 the United
States frigate Chesapeake left Hampton
Roads for sea, in command of Captain
Barron. Lying outside the roads, in
Lynnhaven bay, was a British squad
ron. The two countries were at peace
but the British were pursuing the
course which was to lead to the war;
the impressment Of American seamen
The commander of the British squadron
had claimed that on the Chesapeake were
three deserters from the British navy,
and had demanded their surrender, which
was refused on the ground that the men
were Americans, who had been illegally
impressed into British service.
As the Chesapeake went to sea the frig-
ate Leopard was detached to follow her
and demand the men. The demand was
refused by Captain Barron, and the Leo
pard attacked the Chesapeake. Barron
fired but one gun in reply and surren-
dered his ship. After the men had been
taken from her she was permitted to
go on her way.
Barron was courtmartialed, and Deca-
tur was one of the officers who sentenced
him to five years suspension from the
navy. Decatur had protested against
serving on the trial board, as he had
formed an unfavorable opinion of Bar
ron's professional capacity.
When, at the end of the war, Barron
returned to the navy and demanded an
active command, Decatur felt it his duty
to oppose his appointment to any place
OF trust. Barron deeply resented this.
Meddling friends famed the fire of his
resentment. At last, on March %, he
challenged Decatur, who had no desire
to fight him, and made every effort con-

GOVERNMENT TROOPS AID IN FIGHT
 OF FOREST FIRES
Especial from United PressD

International Falls, Minn, Oct. 12.- With the forest fires between Inter control, citizens and militiamen, under the command of General Wood, of the Minnesota National Guard, gave \ their entire attention to-day to dis tributing supplies and attending the injured among the thousands of refu- gees of the f1re-swept zone.
 As the danger has not entirely pass ed, General Wood to-day requested that additional troops be sent to aid the lumber men in lighting the fires. should they show renewed activity, and protect the refugees from vandals that are at work.
 The lumber men to-day brought in many bodies from the wooded districts on wagons, but it is not believed the total death roll will run over the estl- mate of 160 made yesterday. Beau dette has 35 persons burned to-day. Seventeen were burned to-day in a long trench outside of the town When found they were mere masses of flesh, beyond recognition.
 Poposky, Nebish and Kelliher, re- ported they had been fighting the fires for several days and during the last A hours the conditions have be- come alarming. At Black Duck and Funkley, the flames were reported to be only two miles away and men were rushed to these points. There is little wind to-day and these towns will prob ably escape. Longworth, Clear River, Cedar Bend and Redwood are also threatened.
 Martial law has been proclaimed at dozen different points in the fire dis trict and orders have been issued to shoot anyone footing.
 At Beaudette to-day 100 men were detailed to bury the hundreds of cat tie and other live stock that perished in the fires. It is feared an epidemic may break out unless the carcasses are removed. The water about Beau dette and Spooner is so contaminated that physicians have ordered that only water shfped from Rainey River be used by the refugees. Most of the ty- phoid fever patients in the hospital at Beaudette, when the fire broke out, have been taken across the border to Canadian towns. Conditions at War road are much improved Food, clothing and medical supplies are pouring into the stricken districts hourly and at Beaudette, carpenters arrived to-day and started erecting rough shacks to shelter the refugees. A call has been sent out for hundreds of carpenters to report at the stricken towns to start the work of recon struction. Spooner and Beaudette will be rebuilt as one town.
 As the late reports came in to-day, indicating that the number of dead had at first been over-estinated,i it was evident that the loss of property would reach higher figures Lumber men were unable to-day to state the exact figures that might represent their loss, but said that, with private property destroyed in the towns. a coDserva- tive estimate of the entire loss would be between $15,00o,0O8 and $20,000, ,0O0

In fact, it is claimed that no play in the history of American theatricals, has ever. enjoyed the phenomenal business attracted by this popular play.
