X.,atcr and Additional Partic ulars. Special to Tun AsToniAN. PaiiTiIer Lake, Colo., June 25. The forest fire which has been burning in the Cook Creek district, during the past few days, is still out of reach. It took a southwest course, up -what is known as Gerd's canyon, nd is burning at a furious rate. It has at present destroyed 10,000 acres of voung lumber. Charles F. Williams, the proprietor of the Palmer Lake park, received a telegram from Gov. Cooper last evening, stating that he had ordered the first commissioner, to give this fire his immediate atten tion, but he has so far done nothing. As mentioned in these dispatches, the most serious fire is near Boulder, Col orado. No additional news was re ceived from there to-day. A tiifrautic Corporation . Spec alto The astokiax.

P. steamship Sardonyx Avas proceeding on her way from Port Simpson to Skidegate under full head of steam, and when within thirty-six miles of there she suddenly brought up on what is Imown as White Cliff shoal, off Gorham island. She was about one and a hale miles from shore. She at once commenced to fill, and captain Smith, after making an exam ination of the ship, and viewing the position she was in as a very danger ous one should the wind spring up, decided tho best thing to do for the safety of tho pjisscngers and crew was to leave the ship and proceed to Skidegate, which orders he gave about r. m. Four boats were put into tho water, provided with blankets, pro visions, etc., and all headed Jor Sldde gale, the first boat reaching there about 12:50 a. jr., June 14th. The same day, at 2:30 p. m., a Co lumbia river fishing boat was obtained from Mr. Tennant, of the Skidegate oil works, and with the mate in charge, two ot the ship's crew, Mr. Laiug, superintendent of agencies of tho Brit ish Empire Mutual Life Assurance company, and Mr. Johnson, agent for British Columbia of the same company, left for Inverness with letters and to obtain supplies for those on the island.' The first night out camp was pitched about thirty miles fiom Skidegate, and tho next day the boat was taken again, and they once more boarded the ill-fated ship. They looked about for food, supplies and blankets, but found very little, everything being wet They again left the ship, and running before a lively breeze, reached one of the outlying islands, where camp was pitched for the night, and sit an early hour next day lett for Inverness, which place was reached at 3:30 v. jr.. Juno 16th. The report received from the mate ot the ship is that no such shoal as tho shin struck is marked on Ihe chart, and that no blame can Iks at tached, to captain Smitlu It Is stated that the ship Is a total wreck, being wedged in between two large boulders, one under her stem and one through her port bow, it being only a matter of the first wind from the southeast when the ship will go to pieces. Captain Smith, in reporting to cap tain Irving, said: "Wc struck on a rock shoal Jnne 13th, at 1:45 r. jr., which shoal the people here inform me has been thrown up by the late earthquake. The bearings from where sue lies is .Lawn Jlill entrance to Skidegate harbor, bearing north mag netic; and White Cliff in line with south south-west and of a hill on Masset side, near Chawn brook, bear ingN. "V. by W. magnetic five and one half miles offshore, and fully a mile outside of soundings given on chart as six fathoms. She was going at full speed, weather clear and not much sea, low tide. At 3:4-1 proceeded north with all the boats fully ladened with passengers, mails, baggage, crew and provisions to Skidegate village, the first boat reaching the village at 12:40 a. jt. The steamer seems hung from under the engine room, and should a breeze spring up she will certainly break up." The explanation of the cause of the wreck is of importance to navigators of northern waters. The spot where the Sardonyx now lies is in the direct course of vessels making Skidegate, and hundreds of steamers have passed over the same spot before. The earth quake explanation is very likely the correct one, and it is also possible that other rocks may at the same time have been thrown up.

Special by Tho United Peis?. NewOjrk, June 25. This after noon fully 30,000 people were assem bled at Shecpshead Bay track, when 'Salvator ' and '"Tenny" were ordered to go to the post, at 3:10. As "Salva lor ' with Murphy up, and "Tenny" with Garrison, cantered past the grand stand on their way to the starring pole, each received a tremendous ovaliou. The betting stood just where it had all the morning. The odds offered on "Salvator," tho favorite, were two to one, and the odds laid against Tenny" were at a rate of seven to five. There wsts no delay at the po3t, and the cry of "they're ofT' was quickly heard The start was a beautiful one. Both horses were together and it was plain that the race would be fast, for the pace was terrific At the first quarter "Salvator" led by a neck, but was under a gentle pull. At the half mile Salvator" increased his lead to half a length and there was a great shout from 30,000 spectators. At three quarters ot a mile "Sal vator" still led by two lengths, and the mentis or "Tenny" were in de spair. At the mile, Salvator" still led by two lengths and they were more hope ful. Into the stretch thundered the two horses and when it was seen that "Sal vator" had increased his lead to three lengths, the general verdict was that all hope ior Tenny" had gone. Now Garrison on 'Tenny," began to wonc like a demon, applying whip, spur, knees and hands. He resorted to every trick of which he is master, to send his horse ahead, and gallant "Ten ny" responded. Nearly a yard was gained on "Salvator," and the gap steadily closed, but it was too late, for "Salvator" shot under tho wire the winner of the race and stakes, by a head. There was tremendous shouting, and Murphy was lifted from his saddle and carried about the paddock in tri umph. In the excitement, the crowd at first forgot about tho time. When the judges announced that the race had been run in 2:05, beating the pre vious rececord of 2:0GJ, which was made by "Kingston," there was greater shouting than before. "Tenny" came out of the race a very badly-winded horse. The race was for S5.000 a side and 10,000 was added by the Coney Is- iaiut Jockey Club. The Haggins backed "Salvator" heavily and are reported to have won S50,000. THi: KEYSTONE STATE. Ilcpiibliciit: State Convention in Session. Spcrl-l. tuT!: ASTOKIAX.I H.vTtiti3Runa, Pa., Juno 25.

The public has always treated me kindly, especially the newspapers, and leading actors say I have considerable histrionic talent. The play will be a melodrama, but I am not able to disclose the name, just at present." "What do you think ot Jackson?" "Who, that bloke? He can't fight a little bit" "Will you ever meet him?"

HATE I'JtOGJiATtr JFOlt 1HGU,ISTS Special bv The United Tkess. San Fkakcisco, June 25. The" syn dicate of English capitalists which re cently acquired control over the prin cipal breweries in this state, is not satisfied with its achievement in ob taining the principal breweries in Cal ifornia, but intends to concentrate them into one grand establishment. For that purpose negotiations have been carried on with owners of tracts of land, both in San Francisco and other towns. The plan is to establish a grand brewery, which will turn out all the brands of beers, known as California brewed. There will be np discrimin ation, but every customer will be served with Philadelphia, Fredericks burg, National Brewery or any other brand whioh he may desire, and all of the tufferent beers will be brewed in one great establishment. Another scheme on foot by the syndicate, is the buying up of all the principal vinoyards in California, and many prominent wine men have been approached on the subject. This lat ter enterprise is likely to meet with but little success, for the owners of vineyards have expressed an almost unanimous unwillingness to part with their property. THE PUGILISTS. Two Noted Fijjkts Bcinjr Ar ranged. Special to The Astoriax. Sax Francisco, June 25. Pro fessor Jem Corbett is in receipt of a number of letters from prominent eastern sporting men, offering to back him, if he will meet John L. Sullivan in the fall. Corbett is under contract with the Olympic club for a year, but it is not improbable that tho directors would consent to his meeting the champion. Joe Choynslahas received a letter from the secretary of the Gladstone club, of Providence, Rhode Island, offering a large purso for a match be tween Choynski and George Geottxrey of Boston, to take place in October. Choynski will probably accept, and will go from Providence to London, the Pelican club of that city having promised him a match. FOREST FIRES Raging In Colorado and New Mexico. Special to The astorux.1 Dexver, Col., June 25. From tele graphic reports received here, it would seem that a great portion of San Gre Decristo range, in Colorado and New Mexico, is in flames. A special from Espanola, N. M., says the valley is ob scured by smoke from burning woods on the mountains east of Espanola. The fire extends over twenty miles up and down tho Santa Fe range, and has a beautiful and weird appearance at night. The fires have been burning several days now, and no effort has been made to ex tinguish them. The loss will be great. STAGE ROBBERS. TooK money ana AVatclicj From Passengers. Special to The astoriax CaiiISTooa, Cal., June 25.
