MILLIONS IN ASHES.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE BREAKS OUT
IN HULL,' CANADA.
Loss of $20,000,000-Flames Sweep
Across River and "Wipe Out Indus
trial District of Ottawa-Many Cas
ualties Reported.
One of the most disastrous Bros in the
history of Canada broke out at Hull at
11 o'clock Thursday morning. The loss
at 10 o'clock Thursday night was esti
mated at upward of $1S,OUO,000. Hull is
a place of 10,000 poodle, ou the Quebec
tide of the Ottawa river.
Fanned by a. furious gale of wind from
the northwest, "which continued with un
abated violence all day and far into the
night, the flames swept everything before
them, wiping out the whole city, crossed
large sections of territory, rau through
the vast lumber yards, filled with piles of
pine lumber, and into the Ottawa-Chau-diere
district.
la a half hour's time from the outbreak
the flames were beyond the control of
both the tire departments of Hull and Ot
tawa, and within an incredible space of
time had swept a pathway a mile long
through Hull, leaped across the narrow
part of the river at the Chaudiere falls,
and had gained a footing among the lum
ber piles on the Ottawa side. From
thence it cut a wide swath through the
whole of. the western portion of Ottawa,
through Hochcsterville. and into the sub
urb of Hiutonburg. The pathway of the
flames was about live mile in length.
Most of the buildings which were burn
ed at the outset were wooden, and the
flames, forced by the high wind, licked
them up like shavings. Household ef
fects that were carried into the streets,
and such as were placed upon carts for
removal, were consumed in many in
stances where they stood.
The whole industrial district of Ottawa
has been completely wiped out. This in
cludes the great factories of E. H. Eddy,
consisting of woodworking, match, pulp,
and paper factories, valucc at $t..r00,000.
The large lumber mills of Month, llron
son. the Hull Lumber Conip.tuy. (iilmonr
& Hugeson. and others, together with
the flour mills of McKay, were also de
stroyed. As a result 7.000 operators arc
thrown out of employment and 110,00:)
persons rendered homeless in both cities.
About 100,000,000 feet of manufactur
ed "Vine lumber has been consumed.
Practically the whole of the city of Hull
is blotted out, and had the wind been
blowing from a westerly direction, noth
ing could have saved Ottawa from like
destruction.
The fire originated, it is said, from a
defective chimney, but not an hour bad
elapsed after it had gained a foothold
on the Ottawa side when flames were
seen to break out in three different pinces
in that city over an extent of two miles
from the river side. Another suspicious
circumstance was the outbreak of the fire
at (ifilmour's lumber mills, two mile
down the river on the Hull side and to
windward of the main lire. This was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary
Other coincidental tires in Ottawa which
during the day broke out in unexpected
places, were also, it is thought, the work
of fire bugs.
The Ottawa Electric Company's princi
pal power house was burned early iu the
lay ami the street car service was put
out of business. The 1'arliamcut build
ings were at one time threatened by the
burning timbers which floated down the
river and several times set the bushe-t
in the escarpment aflame. All business
in the city was susjK'nded and the House
of Commons met for a few minutes, then
adjourned.
Many serious accident happened, but
so far as reported then have been only
three fatalities, one being that of Chief
P.onoit, of the Hull lire brigade, who
was so Kcrionsly burned that he died, but
with such a large and rapidly spreading
tire the death list must be larger.
The Canadian Pacific Ilnihvay depot
and much rolling stock standing in the
yards was wiped up by the flames. The
iron trafllc bridge, which is the only one
at present between Ottawa and Hull, is
also gone and travel can now only be
made by ferry:
A conservative estimate of the total
loss ko far sustained by the two cities Is
placed at from $1.",000.000 to $20,000,
MK), of which the loss in lumber alone
will amount to over $10,000,000.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Improvement Reported in the Appear
ance of Winter Wheat.
The summary of the crop conditions
throughout the country, as shown by the
weekly crop report issued by the weather
bureau, is us follows:
"The temperature conditions were gen
erally highly favorable, but excessive
rains in the Southern States greatly in
terfered with farm work and caused
destructive floods. In portions of Ala
bama,' Mississippi and Louisiana much
replanting will he necessary as a result
of the inundation. Farm work has also
been retarded as a result of heavy rains
in the eastern portion of Kansas and Ne
braska and Southern Missouri. Rain is
much needed in Montana, North Dakota
and over the northern portion of Minne
sota. While freezing temperatures oc
curred in the upper Missouri Valley and
middle and northern llocky Mountain re
gions, it appears that no serious injury
has been done.
The week has not been favorable for
the rapid progress of corn planting, but
preparations for this work have been act
ive in the more northerly sections and un
der favorable weather conditions will
progress rapidly. Planting has been gen
erally retarded where not completed in
the Southern States, and also from Kan
sas and Oklahoma westward over the
central Mississippi Valley, being later
than for many years in Tennessee.
"An improvement in the condition of
winter wheat is generally reported, ex
cept in Michigan and Wisconsin, where
plowing up for other crops continue.
With ample moisture and favorable tem
perature the crop has made rapid growth
in the central valleys and Southern
States, its condition in Kentucky aud
Tennessee leing exceptionally fine.
Wheat is heading in Texas, where a good
yield is indicated. The favorable outlook
on the Pacific coast, except in Southern
California, coutinues. Early sown spring
wheat is coming up to good stands over
the southern portion of the spring wheat
region. Seeding is now nearly completed,
except in North Dakota aud Montana,
where from one-quarter to one-half of
the crop is yet to be sown. All reports
respecting the oat crop are encouraging,
seeding being well advanced in the north
ern section."
DEATH IN CHICAGO LABOR RIOT.
Union Picket Leads an Attack and Is
Killed.
In au attack upon non-union men em
ployed at the Haker-Vawter company,
lithographers in Chicago, where a strike
is in progress, Peter Miller was shot
through the head and instantly killed
by II. C. ltaster, superintendent of the
factory. John McGuire was also shot
through the right arm and right cheek by
the superintendent, and severely, al
though not fatally, injured. In addition
to this affair, the labor situation was
intensified by the arrest of George P.
(ubliins. president of the . Bricklayers'
Union. He was taken on a charge of in
citing riot.
The trouble at the Baker-Vawter com
pany's plant which almost assumed the
proportions of a riot was the outcome of
n strike which has been in existence at
the factory since last .Ta unary.
The Burlington may parallel the North

Attorneys for six big Western land
grant railroads have decided to sue the
United States Government for nearly
$300,000 for carrying soldiers from Chi
cago to San Francisco during the Spanish
American war. Immediately after the
close of the war the roads filed claims for
transporting the troops. The claims ask
ed for full tariff rates, less deductions
of fK) per cent made by the lines which
hold land grants. The Government" re
fused to recognize the claims, alleging
that the railroads were not entitled to
rates higher than are charged parties of
twenty or more persons traveling on one
ticket, known in railway parlance as
"party rates." In addition to this the
Comptroller contended that the land grant
roads must deduct T0 per cent.
The Rockefellers are reported to have
obtained control of the Missouri Pacific

coupons for both first and second class
passengers in order to do away with any
opportunity for the roads to offer sleep
ing car aerrice on second class tickets.

FOREST FIRES IN THE NORTH.
Vast Areas in Minnesota and Manitoba
Wrapped in Flames.
Almost the entire northern portion of
Minnesota and the lower portion of Man
itoba is in flames. In Minnesota the tire
area extends for mauy miles through St.
Louis and Itasca counties in the heavy
pine timber of the State. Already sev
eral small settlements have been wiped
out and as the tire spreads and grows
the bigger towns are threatened.
The loss of life will, it is believed, be
heavy, as reports received iu Minneapo
lis show that riiany person have already
perished. Iu the path of the flames were
the homes of hundreds of settlers and
homesteaders. Searching parties with
wagons and accompanied by doctors and
nurses, are scouring the edges of the
burning district in the hope of picking up
persons who have managed to escape, al
though the chances of finding many are
small. It is the opinion that the loss of
life will equal that of the Hinckley tire
of a few years ago, when nearly 400 per
sons lost their lives.
For the first time in many years the
timber country iu the northern portion of
the State and in the lower portion of
Manitoba is as dry as tinder, caused by
the lack of rain and the absence of heavy
snow last winter. The tire has already
invaded the proposed national park of
Minnesota, in the Icech lake region, and
the small towns in that localiity are
fighting for life.
The country between Ilibbing and
Swan river, 100 miles northwest of Du
lnth, is one vast furnace, with little
chance of escape for the settlers living
within the fire lines. Thus far half a hun
dred or more logging camps, in addition
to several small towns, have been swept
away and not a word has been heard
from the hundreds of men employed in
them.
Winnipeg dispatches say that the for
est fires along the southeastern border are
still raging, but the exact amount of dam
age or loss of life has not been ascertain
ed. An entrapped special train succeeded
in breaking through the flames after one
of the most thrilling trips in the history
of railroading. It brought in with .it
several stragglers found in a desperate
condition near Tassar. Besides immense
quantities of ties and wood, two large
lumbering outfit's with forty wagons and
over sixty other wagons are known to
be burned. The drivers and bushmen
have scattered in all directions and out of
200 only about thirty are known to have
reached a place of safety. The remain
der are doubtless struggling desperately
through the woods for their lives.
OKLAHOMA ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
Youngest Territory Now Has Popula
tion of Over 400,000.
Oklahoma is eleven years old. Iu April,
1889, the first strip of Indian lands was
opened to white settlers. The Cherokee
strip, with its 0,014.230 fertile acres, was
opened in 1803, and now the territory's
settled area is something over 10,000,000
acres. The area of Oklahoma is 38,715
square miles. There are now twenty
three organized counties and the popula
tion is over 400,000. The assessed valu
ation of property of the territory for 1800
was $42,OS2,414. There are twenty-five
towns with a population of over 3,000, nix
with a population of over 5,000, and two
with a population of over 10,000. There
are four territorial school buildings that
cost nearly $1,000,000.
At a recent meeting of a New Vork
labor union one of the delegates from the
bakers' union lodged a complaint against
a number of bakeshops, which he said
were a menace to the public health. He
said that men and animals slept togeth
er in these bakeshops, and he asked the
union to request the Board of Health to
make an Investigation.
A German physician explains why red

New York The outlook for the iron
and steel trade has been the subject of
considerable comment, both in speculative
and legitimate business circles. , State
ments coming from authorities on the sit
uation have been decidedly conflicting.
The closing down of several of the Ameri
can Steel and Wire mills caused consid
erable excitement for a time, but the con
viction has been forcing itself home upon
most people that the whole thing was
merely the act of a reckless and desper
ate gambler in the stock markets. Wall
street naturally suffered some disturb
ance by reason of this move.
Chicago After a week of comparative
dullness the grain and provision markets
closed at a decline. There continued to
be an abundance of news of a bearish na
ture and of quite as much importance to
all the grain markets were the reports
and statistics of the last seven days, as
was the Government crop report the pre
vious week. This season of the year
brings with it the irrepressible, ever
varying prospects for the new crops which
never fail to cause anxiety and arouse
interest among speculators. The spread
between the prices of the May and July
options held steadily at lc. A spread of ;
2c is the general talk. The only support

buying by the bull clique, which, although
small, is supposed to be practically in

' been in favor of lower prices, the most
( important and influential factor being the

RAINS DELUGE THE SOUTH.
Drench ins Torrents Fall Over All the
Flooded District.
The flood situation in Louisiana and
Mississippi was just beginning to bright
en when it began pouring rain over most
of the same district again. Reports from
Mississippi and Louisiana tell of a steady,
drenching fall and that the streams are
again raging.
This flood has been the most destruc
tive of any within the memory of the old
est inhabitants. One in '71 approached
it, but the ruin was not so widespread.
From Vickaburg on the Mississippi river
across to Jackson, thence on a line to
Meridian, Miss, and ou down to Mobile
ruin and desolation mark the path of the
great flood. Cotton and corn crops are
totally destroyed and as the waters begin
to recede the destitute condition of the
people is just beginning to be revealed.
Iu Bayou Pierre district, one of the
richest cotton sections of Mississippi, not
only are the crops destroyed, but the sub
soil of the fields has been washed to 6ea.
A special from Enterprise, Miss., says
the water is standing five feet deep iu the
houses and stores. In '71 it reached a
height of only two feet in the buildings.
The same wire says all goods are ruined
and that houses were carried off to the
deep sea. All bridges which .have been
the means of ingress and egress have
been swept away. The farmers all around
the surrounding country are now in bad
shape for making a crop this year. Most
of them had put out their fertilizers and
planted corn and cotton. Their fences
have been swept away, the crops plant
t.j totally ruined and most of their live
stock drowned.
SULTAN WILL PAY.

Krln'ifa Favorable Reply.
The Porte has replied to the American
demand for payment of the $iK),000 claim
d as compensation for damages to
as compensation for
American property during the Armenian
massacres. The Sultan agrees to pay
the Americans uudcr the same conditions
as apply to citizens of other foreign
states who sustained losses in the same
uprisings. The Sultan dreads an Ameri-
can navul demonstration iu the Mediter
ranean, and his worry over the indemnity
complication has had the effect of leading
him to abandon the arbitrary raising of
customs duties. Whereas the ambassa
dors hitherto have lodged with his ma
jesty four ineffectual protests, now he
consents to negotiate the matter.
The representatives of the other great

by foreign correspondents that the Amer

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
PHENOMENON OCCURS MAY 28,
AND WILL BE TOTAL.
In the Path of Totality the Orb of
Day Will Be Obscured for Nearly Two
Minutes The Event Is Attracting
World-Wide Attention.
The forthcoming total eclipse of the
sun, on May 28, is attracting world-wide
attention, and astronomers everywhere
have long been making preparations for
observing and photographing the phenom
enon. Besides making the usual time ob
servations, interest largely centers in pho
tographing the corona, the coronal
streamers, the spectra of the chromo
sphere, and particularly the celebrated
flash spectrum appearing both at begin
ning and end of totality. Fortunately for
us, it will be possible to witness the phe
nomenon from many sections of the Unit
ed States. On the occasion of the last
eclipse scientists who desired to study
the sun during the brief period of totality
hurried to western India, and many of
them were successful in obtaining excel
lent photographs of the great event.
Ou May 28 the circular shadow of the
moon cast by the sun upon the earth, and
about eighty miles in diameter, will come
sweeping across the American continent
from New Orleans to Cape Henry. Along
the center of the path traveled by this
swiftly moving shadow the sun will be
completely hidden for a period of about
two minutes. More than forty miles
away, on either side of the track the
eclipse will be partial, uot total. To
witness this astronomical marvel it will
onlv be necesaarv
to take ui a favor
able position in the
State of Mississip
pi, Georgia, 'South
Carolina, North
Carolina or Vir
ginia. As it has

6ince an eclipse has occurred under cir
cumstances' so favorable to American as
tronomers, it will undoubtedly be wit
nessed by thousands of students who
have felt regret that previous exhibitions
have occurred at distances so great as to
prevent them from witnessing the events.
An eclipse of the sun that will be vis
ible to us can occur only when the moon
is new. At that time she passes exactly
between us and the sun. If an eclipse
xhouid happen when she was at her least
distance from us, say 222,000 miles away,
the apex of the shadow would pass over
our heads at a distance of many thou
sands of miles. In the first instance the
eclipse will be total along the path made
by the falling shadow. Iu the second
instance the eclipse will be annular, as
the moon will be so diminished that at no
tiu will she bv able to completely ob
scure the sun.
Prof. Laugley, who is an authority
upon sun eclipses, is enthusiastic in anti
cipation of the exhibition that is to be
given next May. "Such eclipses,' he
says, "are impressive and awful to the
last degree and must be seen to be ap
preciated. A total eclipse of the sun is
worth a journey round the world to be
hold, aud repetition does not dull the in
terest."
According to the calculations of Prof.
Lumsdeu, the round black shadow of the
moon, like a great urm, will sweep in out
of space some time after sunrise on the
morning of May 28. This gigantic arm
will come into contact with the earth
somewhere near the Revilla Gigedo isl
auds in the Pacific ocean. With tremen
dous velocity the shadow will rush to
ward the mainland and will enter Mexico,
near Corrientes, at u secd of more than
UN) miles a minute. i In eight minutes it
will have crossed the Rocky mountains,
and by 7:30 central or 8:30 eastern time
it will have crossed the gulf and entered
Mexico. Then on it will pas, over its
selected path, until it is lost again in
space.
The period of totality of the eclipse va
ries at different points along the track
At the Rocky mountains the spectacle
will last but about thirty seconds, and
at New Orleans the period will have been
lengthened thirty-seven seconds. At Un
ion Point, Green County, Georgia, the
center of the path for the United States,
the time of totality will be ninety-two
seconds, while those who are at the At
lantic coast, just south of the city of
Norfolk, will be able to continue their
observations for 105 seconds. , -v,
While the occasion will bo a most In
teresting one to all who are able to wit
ness the phenomenon to astronomers the
event will be of the utmost importance,
lis there are several questions that they
hope to be able to answer after they
have made their next observations. One
of the most imortanf problems relates
to the composition and arrangement of
the various layers of vapor and dust that
envelope the sun as with an atmosphere.
Another relates to the existence and posi
tion of what is sometimes called the "re
versing layer."
