Two thousand of these people have been sent west to Cran brook and Elko, some 1,500 fled from the flames to the northward and reach ed Hosmer and other places along the line.

Seventy-Four Said to Have Perished "in Destruction of Fernie. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. 4. As a result of bush fires the town of Fernie, B. C, is wiped off the map as a child cleans a slate. Michel, 14 miles dis tant, is in flames and the fate of Hos mer and Sparwood, intervening towns, is in doubt, they being cut off from communication. Over 100 live3 are known to have been lost, 74 of them in Fernie. A territory of 100 square miles is a seething mass of flames. Through it are scattered hundreds of lumbermen and prospectors, so that the actual loss of life will not be known for days. The properties of the Canadian Pa cific and Great Northern railways are destroyed, the bridges and rolling stock burned so that it is impossible to enter or leave the burning area. There is no possibility of estimating the loss of life and property which will result, for the flames are driven by a half gale, making it impossible to put up a fight against their advance. The conflagration is the greatest which has ever reached Canada and ranks only with the San Francisco dis aster. For the past month forest fires have been raging in the mountains of Elk river valley country, but they have not been considered serious. ' Saturday morning a heavy wind sprang up from the west and early in the afternoon the flames'appeared over the crest of the mountains to the west of Fernie. This ran down the mountain side and before a fire guard could be organized had entered the town. FLEET PASSES 1 UTUILIA. Natives Gaze on Great Battleships at Close Range. Suvia, Fiji Islands, Aug. 4.

Chicago, Aug. 3. United States At torney Sims and. Special Consul Kel logg and Wilkerson todav drafted petition to the United States circuit court for a rehearing of the Standard Oil case, in which the appellate court recently reversed Judge Landis. Judge Grosscup and his assocatcs will be asked to reverse t heinsel ve on the ground that they erred in de cianng tliat Judge Land: erred, a lie petition will aver that the circuit court misinterpreted tin; testimony misread Judge Landis' obiter dictum and did not understand the legal premises on which he based his im portant decision. The three points raised by the court will be met squarely. I he hrst that Judge Landis attempted to im pose a fine upon the New Jersey standard Oil company for' the of tenses of the Indiana corporation I his is to be flatly denied and the record to be cited to confirm the claim that the court did not read the decision of the lower, court as applied to the evidence. lhe second point, that the who! offenses were in settlements and not in each shipment, and that ignorance ot existing rates excused the accept ance of rebates, will be respectfully characterized as misapplication of the law and a ruling contrary to its known maxims. The third point, that the fine of $20 240,000 is excessive and confiscatory is to be met by the contention that the corporation is a chronic offende and gained many times the amount of the fine by alleged rebating methods lhe financial statements of the com pany, snowing net gains ot more than $')0,000,000 since the rebating be gan, the government regards as elo quent arguments.

HILL ABANDONS OCEAN TRADE Will Withdraw Steamers In favor of Japanese Lines. Builder of Railroads Says Laws That Help, Not Subsidies, Alone Will Make American Ocean Carrying Trade Possible Places No Blame on Commission. St. Taul, Minn., Aug. 1. The an nouncement that the Hill lines have abandoned the marine portion of their share in the trade with Japan and China, while retaining affiliation with Japanese steamship mies, came as a shock to many people of the North west. According to the chairman of the board, James J. Hill of the Great Northern, it was to be expected. "Why," exclaimed Mr. Hill, "our Paciuc Lracie lias been gone for a year. As long as 15 months ago I told them what was coming." Asked if the action of the American trans-continental roads m withdraw ing from the Pacific carrying trade was due to resentment at the action of the interstate commerce commis sion, Mr. Hill replied: "Resentment, no. 'The commission cannot be blamed for enforcing the" law. The Pacific trade was given up because it did not pay. America to day has no flag on the high seas, or might as well not have, for we cannot compete with any other country, and must hand the load over to anybody that asks for it. The only way for us to continue in the Pacific trade would be for the railroads to own their own steamers and run them at a heavy loss. "We are not a seafaring nation. We have no sailors, . though under the law Americans must constitute two thirds or three-fourths of the crews. What we must have to make ai ocean-carrying trade posihle is not subsidies, but intelligent legislation, legislation that h'elps instead of hin ders." LABOR WAR SERIOUS.
