The biggest fire in the" bisiory of the Mamou otl blds is raging, - Yes terday Morse well No. 8 came in, a boiling gusher, pouring out a--vol ume of oil at the rate of 10,000 bar rels a day. The fire caught from a spark emanating from friction, and rapidly e Dread to other wells. Four oil tanks, each. of which had a ca pacity of 12,000 barrel?, caught and burned. Two were full of oil and two were empty. Four standard rigs, the property of the Merse Co., were also destroyed. . Daring the afternoon tbe fire was confined to the Moree wells No. 7 and 8. .Large lakes of oil, which bad formed when the Morse No. 8 came to, caught hre. A meeting of the employes of the other wells was held, tbe wells were shut down and the forces loiced in fighting the flames. Eight lines of it' am pipes have already been laid to tbe burnirg wells and more are being prepared. Tbe loss is now placed at more than $100,000. This afternoon the fire at Mamou oil fit-ldB is still burniDg in the Motse wells No. 7 and 8, and all wotk has beea abandoned by order of the companies, and every work man in the hell is helping to make arrangements to tmptber the fire steam. The first effott will he made tomorrow. The oil being burned each hour is wi.rth $41,000, and tbe loss by biturday morning will amount to $200,000. - The fi'e cinuot spread further. New York, Aug. 25. New York World: The old Greek ioke about the boy who ruled Athens by ruling hi mother, who ruled his father, w o in turn rcled Atheus, has been viewed by a Baptist missionary a a sound principle ot world power. The Rev. R. S. M" Arthur, in an dress'to tbe Michigan Baptist ;S siiiioiy, aescriDea tne yeuow pern t-.s "the golden opportunity of the nj.-ld." If Japan is victorious in r war. he said, "Japan will lad Uh na, lirf at Britain will lead Ja- nan and America will lead Great Bntaio. The rest of Europe will fol'ow easily." - Nothing could mar this delecta ble programme except the refusal of China to baled by .Japan, or the refusal of Japan to be led by Great Britain, or the refusal of Great Brit ain to be ed bv the United . State?, or the refusal of the rest of Europe to "follow easily." It " is a very engaging picture, nevertheless.
