MUCH TIMBER BEING DESTROYED
All Game Driven From the Hills to the
Water Courses, and Deer Are
Almost Domesticated.
Seattle, August 20. Settlers along
Lake Samish report that there is an
unbroken line of forest fires from Bel
fast to the lake, destroying large as
well as small timber, and rendering
the atmosphere almost suffocating. All
game is being driven from the hills to
the lakes and water courses, and deer
are almost domesticated. ' A settler
last week met two cougars near his
house. Ashe was unarmed, he had
to give them the road. Mothers dare
not let their children get out of their
sight, and there is much alarm
throughout the community.
The Smoke in California.
San Francisco, August 20. The cily
was overcast yesterday with a bluisn
haze mixed with fog. Most people
thought it was just plain fog, but
Weather Observer Hammon says it
was smoke from the forest firest around
Puget sound. North winds have been
blowing up there for days, and the
smoke from the big smudges in the
Coast mountains has been carried di
rectly southward. This course carried
it out to sea from where the coast .line
bends to the east. For days the
north winds spun out a lengthening
banner from the smoky mass on the
Sound, and it was trailed over the sea
for hundreds of miles. Day before
yesterday a northwest wind which fol
lowed the coast line struck Point
Reyes, and in this the great pennant of
smoke floated near the California
shore. The northwest wind struck the
hills south of the Golden Gate and was
deflected through the gap, as usuaL
So the northwest wind became south
west wind about the city, and so it
ripped an edge from the long pennant
of smoke at sea and dragged it into the
bay.
That is the peculiar way in which
smoke from Pugat sound reached San
Francisco yesterday. It is not an . un
usual thing for smoke to travel that
distance from widespread forest fires,
for smoke from Minnesota forests has
been carried southward beyond St.
Louis, but it is rarely that smoke from
Washington dims the sunshine of Cen
tral California, and it is not known
that the winds, the sea and the hills
ever before got it here by such an in
genious process of spinning.
A TALK WITH CROKER.
The Ii-Tammany Boss Would Say Lit
tle to the Interviewer.
London, August 20. A representa
tive of the Pros found Richard Croker
at Newmarket today, and accompanied
him back to London, seeking to secure
from him an interview on political
affairs in New York. No amount of
persuasion, however, could induce him
to talk about James G. Martin's as
sumption of the leadership of Tam
many. "I have nothing to say," was his re
peated reply.
He showed surprise, however, at the
news, and finally observed:
'Whoever takes the Tammany leader
ship now has a big job on his hands. "
Mr. Croker was then asked about
the course of the board of police com
missioners in New York, and in reply
said:
"It would not be fair to criticise
them at this distance, but, judging
from the amount of space New York
correspondents of the London papers
are giving them, they must be raising
Cain."
A prominent New York Democrat
who is here says James G. Martin's re
lations with Bourke Cockran are too
intimate to suit Croker.

GERMANS CELEBRATE.
Yesterday the Anniversary of the Battle
of Gravelotte.
Berlin, August 20. There has been
splendid weather today, which is the
25th anniversary of the battle of Grav
elotte, and which had so great an in
fluence on the Franco-Prussian war.
The annivesary was signalized here by
the layiug of the foundation-stone of
the monument of the Late Emperor
William I by his grandson, William
II, in the presence of many German
sovereigns and other dignitaries.
The proceedings opened at 8 o clock
this morning. The colors .and stand
ards of the various regiments, crowned
with oak leaves, were brought on the
ground, and a richly decorated imper
ial standard displayed in the center of
the group. All the houses in the neigh
borhood were tastefully decorated, the
windows and balconies showing
streams of bunting, while the streets
were crowded with gaily attired spec
tators. At 9 o'clock a flourish of
trumpets announced the arrival of Em
peror William, who was received by
Chancellor von Hohenlohe. The em
peror deposited under the foundation-
stone of the monument to his grand
father a memorial document, in which
he referred to the enthusiastic uprising
of the German nation under his grand
father, Emperor William the Great
who had restored the Germans to their
ardently desired unity and had suc
ceeded in securing for the newly arisen
empire its proper weight in the system
of states. The emperor then read
aloud from the document to be deposit
ed in the foundation stone:
"The self -sacrificing record -of the
German princes, the wise counsel and
energetic support of Von Bismarck, the
consummate strategy and genius of
Von Moltke, the unequaled courage
and ability of the commanders of the
army, and before all that of Crown
Prince Frederick William, the devoted
fidelity of the Field Marshal von Roon
and the discipline of the people, ren
dered success certain. But also in the
direction of works of peace, the emper
or was untiring to his last breath in
aotive futheranoe of the welfare of the
working classes. The statue of Will
iam the Great should form a testimony
of the inextinguishable gratitude of
the princes and people of Germany."
At this point Count von Lerchfeld,
the Bavarian envoy plenipotentiary,
handed Emperor William a trowel, re
questisng that his majesty would lay
the foundation of a memorial which
would remind Germany of the greatest
period of her history, and which the
entire nation desired to erect to the
founder of the German empire.
ABOUT THE" RAILROADS.
Great Improvement Shown in the Net
Earnings for the Fiscal Year.
New York, August 20. Greatly im
proved net railway earnings are shown
in a carefully prepared special report
to Bradstreet's, an abstract of which
is as follows:
The gross earnings of 145 railroad
companies for the first six months of
1895 aggregate 1349,099,773, a gain
of 3.6 per cent over the corresponding
period of 1894, which in turn, showed
a decrease from 1893 of 16.4 per cent.
The net earningss of the same roads
for this year aggregate $102,767,786,
a gain over last year of 8. 1 per cent,
and following a decrease of 1894 from
1893 of 18.8 per cent
Divided into groups, a striking uni
formity is noted in the increases and de
creases in the gross and net Of the
126 railroad systems comprising 145
roads, which make up the appended
table, two-thirds show decreanes. The
figures show the percentage of increase
or decrease. Those marked with an
asterisk indicate a decrease:
Or -s. Ne'.

Coal ............. - 6.3 1.0
Southern 4 7.l
South wet tern 2.8 16.0
Facile -. s.l
Total increase ...... 3.3 23.0
There are some decreases in gross
earnings this year from last, notably
the Southern and granger roads, . but
there are also notably large increases
in nealry all the other groups,- where
last year the dead level of decrease was
without relief. When the net earnings
figures this year are considered, the
showing is still better. The decrease
in the grangers and Southwestern
roads is still notable, but the gams
showed in the other group of ' roads are
sufficient to more than counterbalance
this falling-off, and the result is a very
satisfactory gain over a year ago.
That Benedictine Brewery.
Washington, August 20. It is un
derstood that Monsignore Satolli is
riving his attention to the question
raised by the petition to him for the
suppression of the brewery conducted
by the Benedictine monks at Keatty,
Pa., with a view to harmonizing the
difference so as to placate the com
plaints, and at the same time not deal
harshly with the ecclesiasts who con
duct the brewery. He is giving atten
tion to the petition not only from the
point of view of the petitioners, but
also considers the fact that the monks
are native Germans, who cannot e
the harm in drinking beer made after
the manner pursued in the Fatherland.
The effort will be made to settle the
dispute without any formal decision.
A Dastardly Crime.
Guthrie, O. T., August 20. Daniel
R. Brown, a merchant, from the Semi
nole reservation, brings information of
a daatardlv crime committed near Ar-
beoh. A gang of Creek Indians and
negroes and several white outlaws
raided Samuel Norfod's store, and after
completely gutting the plaoe, assaulted
and otherwise mistreated five women
in the neighborhood, two of whom will

are 25,000 inches of water in the
stream, but owing to the water being
diverted by various defendants to the
suit, the water is entirely gone, de
priving the plaintiff of its use for ir

THE HYPNOTIC CRAZE.
Extreme to Which It Was Carried at
Richfield Springs.
New York, August 19. A special to
the Herald from Richfield Springs, N.
Y., says: At the first grand ball of
this season in the Arlington hotel,
Miss Abigail Spates, the daughter of a
wealthy farmer of East Springfield
township, had an experience which
tragically illustrates the hypnotic
craze. The wealth and fashion of half
a dozen great cities were represented
at this ball, but matrons and debu
tantes wero all eclipsed by the magnifi
cent appearance of Miss Spates, who
was not known to the committee, con
sisting of the leaders of society. As
the musio fell into a minor key and the
strains of "An Claire de la Lune"
eohoed plaintively down the hall, the
unknown uttered a piercing shriek and
fell full length on the ballroom floor.
In an instant all was confusion and her
apparently lifeless body was borne
away. Dr. Bor was called and diag
nosed the case as catalepsy. Inquiry,
however, developed the fact that the
girl was the victim of hypnotic sugges
tion; that she had never read Trilby;
had never been to a ball before, and
actually had never waltzed before in
her life. She was introduced to Storr
Kellen, her escort, by a young man
whose name is not given because crim
inal proceedings are to be instituted
against him. He hypnotized the girl
early in the evening, drove her to the
hotel in a closed carriage and borrowed
the finery in which she was dressed.
CANNED HORSEMEAT.
Foreign Consuls Protest Against Its
Shipment From Chicago.
Chicago, August 19. Horsemeat
has been and is being sold on the
drainage canal to laborers. This meat
has come from diseased and broken
down animals unfit for labor, and pur
chased by men engaged in the nefar
ious traffic at $1.50 'to $2 per horse.
This sale has been without the knowl
edge of the sanitary inspector of the
canal, Dr. Martin, who said the sale of
horsemeat on the canal had never come
to his knowledge. So serious has the
situation become on the canal, and the
exportation of large quantities of it as
canned goods to foreing countries, that
complaint was made by foreign con
suls today to Dr. F. W. Reilly, of the
city health department Charles Hen-
rotin, consul for Belgium, and Dr. B.
Bopp, consul for Germany, were the
foreing representatives who called on
Dr. Reilly today. They laid before
him the facts which they had collected
in regard to the canning of horsemeat
for exportation to nations of Europe.
The French consul has intimated that
if the authorities do not aotr, his gov
eminent would take steps which might
seriously affect the legitimate ship
ments of dressed and canned meat from
this country.
Huntington's Guatemala Road.
San Francisco, August 17. Ricardo
EL F. Von Winckler, who is superin
tending the construction of C. P.
Huntington's new railroad lines in
Guatemala, arrived in this city on the
steamship Colon. He says Huntington
is putting a great deal of money into
the new road and that it is rapidly de
veloping into an immensely valuable
property, as it is pushed through the
heart of the richest coffee and cane
section of Guatemala. He says 600
men are working on the road. The
new line is completed from a point on
the Guatemala Central road nine miles
below Escuintla to Santa Lnoia, and
is now building to Panlun, with pros
pects that it will be extended through
the mountains to Metzatlango as rapid
ly as the work can be pushed. Over
twenty miles of the road is now in op
eration. France and Brazil's Differences.
New York, August 19. The Herald
correspondent in Rio Janeiro tele
graphs that the French charge d'af
faires and the Brazilian minister of
foreign affairs have signed a protocol
agreeing to submit the question of the
ownership of the territory of Amapa to
arbitration, with the king of Sweden
as referee. Each country is to be al
lowed until April, 1896, to submit its
claims. The inquiry into the impris
onment of Brazilians and the trials of
the late governor of French Guiana
and the commander of the gunboat
Bengali will be suspended pending the
decision of the king of Sweden, after
which they will be subjects for diplo
matic negotiations.
Paper Suppressed and Editor Banished. ,
Guthrie, O. T.f August 17. The
Wah Shah She News, published at
Pawhuska, vOsage nation, was sup
pressed today by Colonel H. B. Free
man, acting agent of the Osage nation,
and its editor, J. F. Palmer, was ban
ished from the nation. The News al
leged that Freeman was heaping all
kinds of indignities on the Indians,
and Freeman obtained from Com
missioner Browning an order giving
him power to suppress the News and
banish Editor Palmer. The excitement
is intense and threats are made to tar
and feather Freeman. United States
Commissioner F. Leahy protested
against Freeman's actions, and Free
man has tried to have him banished,
but without success.

FEARS FOR AMERICANS
Missionaries in Asia Minor in
Serious Danger.
TWO PROFESSORS CONDEMN ED
This Is Because of the Armenian Cam
paign Against Their Compatriots
Suspected of Being Spies. -
Constantinople, August 17. Anxi
ety prevails here for the Amerioan mis
sionaries at Marsovan, a small town
twenty-four miles northwest of Ama-
sia, in the vilayet of Sivas, Asia
Minor, on account of the Armenian
campaign against those of their com
patriots who are thought to be spies.
An Armenian priest, suspected of spy
ing, was recently murdered at Scutari,
just opposite Constantinople, by the
incensed Armenians, as a result of
which many Armenians in Scutari and
other suburbs of Constantinople have
been imprisoned.
Thirteen students of the American
college were expelled last year because
their fathers were thought to have
been mixed up in the Armenian move
ment, suspicion having fallen on the
college, and among the list of persons
condemned by the Armenian committee
are five professors of the college, two
being Americans. The governor is do
ing his utmost to investigate the mat
ter, and to prevent an outbreak or dis
orders. Details have been reoeived of the at
taok on the American missionary
school at Tarsus, and the maltreat
ment of students and threats made
against the missionaries, which was
mentioned in a press dispatch August
9. It is learned about twenty Mus
sulmans attacked and beat a srevant
of the Rev. Mr. Christie, director of
the college at Tarsus. Some of his
scholars at Namroun, a summer resi
dence near Tarsus, the night of Thurs
day, August 11, also threatened to kill
Mr. Christie.
DISEASED HORSE MEAT.
Consuls Are Endeavoring to Prevent
Its Exportation.
Chioago, August 16. It now ap
pears that the horse-meat packing
house, a mile from the southwestern
portion of this oity, may possibly be
the cause of international complica
tions. Richard Martin, owner of the
packing-house, and who ships quanti
ties of the meat to Paris, Antwerp and
Berlin for food, is to receive some dis
tinguished visitors. - It is probable that
tomorrow M. Veilhomme, the French
consul; Charles Henrotin, the Belgian
consul, and F. Bopp, the vice-Geriniin
consul, accompanied by a city meat in
spector and one or two policemen, will
call on Mr. Martin to see if he is ship
ping diseased horse meat to their le
speotive countries as has been reported.
They have no thought of attempting to
interfere with Martin's business, but
only of warning the authorities abroad
against receiving it Consul Veil
holmme said:
"This is a subject in which my gov
ernment feels a deep interest. It will
be inconvenient for me to go so far as
to inspeot Martin's premises, but under
the circumstances I shall surely do so.
I am surprised that there is no law in
this country by which to take hold of
him, but the least I can do is to ascer
tain the facts and put the authorities
in France on their guard. I think it
might be well for the three consuls
most nearly interested to go down to
gether." Bicycle Railroad in California.
San Francisco, August 17. San
Francisco and Saata Cruz will soon be
connected by a bicycle railroad, and
articles of incorporation of the Shore
Line Bicycle Railroad Company have
