A THREATENED SPLIT. Knight, of Pythia. OItIUIok on tha Liquor and German Questions. Washington, Sep. 3.—A split in the Knights of Pythiaa is said by members of tbe supreme lodges to be a possible and perhaps the probable outcome of tbe meeting now in progress here. Already tbe committoe designated to consider tho question of membership of liquor dealers haa decided to report against the future admission of thia class, and it ia now understood that tbe committee in charge of the matter known as tbe Ger man question, that ie the queetion of permitting 1 idges to perform the ritual in that language, decided to make an iron clad report for tbe use of tbe F.nglish language only. It is said by Supreme Chancellor Black well to be the iutention of Pythians to make their order a patriotic one and to bend all its influences to the snpnort of tbe institutions of our government. Tbe constitutions of the English lodges say that the perpetuation oi foreign language in the United States will not tsnu to the support of the institutions of this gov ernment, and think that foreign mem bers in the United States should be Amer icanized.

Star Strait tha Muinbar to 1000 — Appalling Kula In tho Burnad i>latrtot In Mlnneaatt. By the Associated Press. St. Paul, Sept. 3.—Later details aim. ply confirm the reports received yester day as to the magnitude oi the Hinckley disaster. The most conservative esti mates of deaths in the six towns ci Pina county is 362, and from that the figures go up to 1000. Although the exact number of dead will never be known, enough is known to make this one of tha /I most appalling disasters in American ) history. More people have perished, \1 but never so many in so terrible • manner. • As to the property loss, all thoughts have been of death and few can bs made to talk about their business los3C?. It is probable the loss at and around A Hinckley will exceed (2,000,000 al- | I though no careful estimates have ye. -■.! been made, noroan they be msde wheal. Nj all papers and records have gone up in Raines. Rains today cleared the air some- a what from smoke, bnt were not heavy f \ enough to entirely qnenoh the fires, whioh wonld break out on the slightest provocation if they bad aught to feed Jj on. Of the fires across in Wisconsin less is known here up to midnight, but there has been no loss of life reported, and it is hoped that the worst is over. Notwithstanding today's thower the ground is dry and parched, and all vege tation ia so dry it would ingnite easily - and burn with horrible rapidity. Governor Nelson tonight issued the following proclamation: To the People of Minnesota: Information of an official character has reached me that the villages of Hinokley, Sandstone, Mission Creek and tbe neighboring towns and farms hays been destroyed by forest firest; that hundreds of lives hays been sacrificed, and suffering and destitution are on every handf that the survivors of this terrible devastation are in need of food, clothing, shelter and everytbing that makes existence possible. This appall ing disaster appeals to every heart of generous impulses, and tbe case is one that demands the immediate attention of every good citizen of thie state. Now, therefore, I, Knute Nelson, gov ernor of the state, in view of this awful calamity whicb has befallen our coun try, and by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby appeal to all lib eral and public-spirited citizens, to all mnnicipalities and to all religious and bensvolent institutions of thia city, to take immediate action tosrard securing contributions toward alleviating the prevailing distress. I hereby appoint the following Btute commission, author ized to receive contributions of money and supplies and to expend and dis burse tbe same: C, A. Pillsbury, Minneapolis; Ken neth Clark, St. Paul; Matthew G. Mor ton, Winona; Hastings Hart, St. Paul, and a Duluth man yet to be named. APPALLING RUIN. Words Can Not Toll tho Awrolnesa of tho Foroat Flra Disasters. St. Paul, Sept. B.—A Pine Oity spe cial to the Pioneer Press says: Words can not tell the story of death and destruction that is revealed to the traveler in the St. Paul aud Diluth relief train from Mission creek <o two miles above the little town of Miller or Sandstone Junction. Tbe awfulness of the desolation which strikes upon the eye oi the beholder as he reaches tha camp which was once the town of Hinckley is still more strongly impressed unon the mind ac he jiurneys north ward. This morning the smoke had lifted, revealing a landscape bare and bleak, the few standing trees being charred to a height of 40 feet, while the ground wae of that peculiar tint of brown sand mix ed with gunpowder, ior tbe grass had been burned to tbe roots. Hero and tnere in the bleak and dreary stretches o country in what is now a great lone land, it as seen the body of deer, whose fleet feet bad not been able to outrun tbe fiameß, or of a human being who bad been absolutely powerless against the grim destroyer, A Pioneer Press man accompanied Judge Netheway of Stillwater and the members of a relief party, which started on a hand car loaded with provisions to relieve tho people of Sandstone, who were reported in great distress. Two miles above Hinckley they found lying by the trunk of a tree the body of a man, which was evidently that of a lumber man. The party proceeded as far as Skunk Lake, where the Duluth limited train was burned. Here they found En gineer Williams in charge of a gang of men rebuilding tbe bridges. From theaa it was learned the people living at San*
