NUMBER OF SMALL TOWNS CUT OFF SMOKE SO DENSE IN'SOME PLACES THAT THE SUN’S RAYS ARE TOTALLY OBSCURED. Kalispell, Mont., Aug. 5.—Fourteen distinct forest fires are raging i this vicinity and. property valued at thou- sands of dollars is being eaten up by the flames, which have spread to sev- eral small towns along the Great Northern railroad. White Fish and Cplumbia Falls, two villages west of 1%e, are entirely cut off from telephonic communication and the wagon road to White Fish has been made impassable by the flames | ‘which are raging on both sides of it. Another large fire is raging near Dayton creek, a heavily timbered sec- tion, and the pine forests of that sec- tion will be almost destroyed. The whole country is covered with a dense smoke, which makes sunlight almost a novelty. In some places along the road the smoke has totally ob- scured the sun’s rays for several weeks Dpast. Forest Supervisor Maimes and a large force of men are fighting the flames as best they can, but owing to the extent of the burning district they can do little until helped by a good downpour of rain or the force is in- creased. The entire side of & large mouniain west of here is one mass of flames. PASSENGER TRAINS COLLIDE THIRTY-SEVEN PERSONS INJURED IN A WRECK ON THE LOUIS- VILLE AND NASHVILLE.

Federation of Catholic Societies Holds Important Meeting. Detroit, Aug. 5.—The American Federation of Catholic Societies dur- ing the day held the most important business meeting of their three days’ conveniion. A set of resolutions was adopted and officers were elected, in addition to a number of changes being made in the constitution of the federa- tion. The most important of these | changes is one permitting Catholic parishes and institutions to become members of the federation as well as Catholic societies. The resolutions open with a renewal of the federation’s declaration of al- legiance to the pope; express satis- faction with the progress made in the bast year by Catholic societies in Ger- many toward the removal of resi tions onerous to Catholics; express indignation at the “tyranny” of the French government in its recent sup- Dbression of religious orders in France and “in impeding free and immediate communication between the pope and the French bishops and falsely accus- ing him of breaking the concordat.” On the school question the resolutions say: “We propose this solution of the educational problem so far as we are concerned: Let no public moneys be paid out for religious instruction in any schools; let the educational per capita tax be disbursed for results in purely secular studies only in our Catholic schools, our teachers recei ing their salaries as other teachers re- ceive theirs; to ascertain the results let our schools he submitted to state or city examinations. Thus will the great principle of our government, ‘no public moneys for sectarian purposes,’ be preserved im‘.act = GREAT DISORDER PREVAILS AMERICAN RESIDENTS OF PORT AU PRINCE SEEK REFUGE IN LEGATION. Port au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 5—The city of Port au Prince is in a state of great disorder. Bands of soldiers throwing stones prevent the Syrians from veopening their stores.

Owiug to the energetic remon- strance of the diplomatic corps the government has decided to take meas- ures to protect the peaceable inhab- itants and strong patrols of police have been sent to protect the Syrian stores. WHEAT ADVANCES THREE CENTS. Alarmist Reports From the Northwest the Cause. Chicago, Aug. 5—Amid much ex- citement on the board of trade wheat for September delivery made a clear gain of 3 cents over the opening fig- ure, selling up to 96%. The sharp upturn resulted from active covering by shorts, who had become alarmed at extremely pessimistic advices re- garding the condition of new wheat in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Ac- cording to reports the area affected by rust will. be much larger than at first supposed and the total yield of wheat in those states will be greatly réduced. Other grains were affected by the strengfh of wheat, but the advances were not so m—onounced. New York, Aug. 5—A stampede of shorts at midday carried wheat in the New York market well above the dol- lar mark, It was the culmination of a long bull campaign, based on European shortage and damage to domestic crops. Some of the Northwest news, which really started the bear panic, denoted widespread damage from rust. Bulls now predict $1.25 before the sea- son ends, anticipating a big European demand.

NEGOTIATIONS MAY BE RESUMED PEACEMAKERS WILL TAKE STEPS TO BRING INTERESTED PAR- TIES TOGETHER. Chicago, Aug. 5.—Communications looking to negotiations for a settle- ment of the stock yards strike were resumed during the afternoon. For the first time since the last joint con- ference ended abruptly by the pack- ers’ refusal to accept the ultimatum of the allied trades representatives of the emplovers and the butcher work- men were in consultation. The ut- most secrecy was maintained by both sides as to the conference. Chicago, Aug. 5.—According to the leaders of the packinghouse strike certain powerful influences have been brought to bear on the packers and peace negotiations will probably be renewed between the strikers and their former employers. The announcement was made by President Schardt of the Federation of Labor and J. J. Keppler, business agent of the Machinists’ union. Neither Mr. Schardt nor Mr. Keppler would reveal the identity of the peace- makers, but said that the men who are about to intercede were not identi- fied with any of the other peace ef- forts. Mr. Keppler said that President Donnelly would return to the city at once and that the matter would be laid before him. “I believe the parties who are try- ing to bring about another conference mean business,” he said. “The labor men will meet them more than half way.” immigrants as Strike Breakers. The packers during the day intro- duced a distinct novelty in strike breaking—a trainload of immigrants said to be direct from Ellis island. ‘The. immigrants were unloaded at ob- scure points about the yards and were smuggled in groups of ten or twelve ta the various departments, where the newcomers were put to work. This took place while representatives of the packers were reiterating the dec- laration that scores of applicants for work are being turned away because only skilled men are being offered em- ployment. There was no mistaking the immi- grants who compose the latest acquisi- members of the national executive | tion to the packers’ force besieged in the stock yards. The recruits were loaded down with boxes, bags and bundles wrapped in cloths, all speak- ing eloquently of Mediterranean points. Others carried big grips and some few the small box-like trunks frequently seen in the luggage of steerage passengers from Baltic ports. On most of the luggage the “passed” tag of the customshouse office still adhered. Numbers of strike breakers em- ployed in the packing plants are re- ported as deserting in bunches of fifty or more when paid off. It is claimed by the union leaders that fully 50 per cent of the strike breakers are men ‘who, having been idle for a time, sim- ply wanted a chance to make a little ready money, and, having accom- plished the purpose, are quitting at the first opportunity. Driven Insane by Strike. Cedar Rapids, la., Aug. 5.—Drivem insane by the news of the butchers” strike Alfred Day, meat inspector for the packinghouge here, committed sui- cide by hanging. Day’s hallucination was that the strike had extended ta ©Cedar Rapids and that his life was endangered because he did not go out with the strikers. Independent Plants Running. St. Louis, Aug. 5—It is estimated that as the result of the strike of’ butchers and meat cutters at least twenty-four independent abattoirs. are now in operation in this city and are killing from 800 to 1,000 head of eattle, sheep and hogs daily. These plants are being operated by union men. REQUEST MORE WAGES. Committee of Navyyard Machinists Calls on President. ‘Washington, Aug. 5.—Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labar, called on the presi- dent during the day with President O’Connell of the International Asso- ciation of Machinists and a committee representing the iocal union of that organization to urge that an increase be made in the wages of the machin- ists emploved in the Washington navyyard. The president promised that an in- vestigation of the question involved should be made hy Secretary Morton and that action would be based on the secretary’s report. BROTHER AND SISTER DROWN. Hushand of the Woman Fatally Hurt Going to Scene of Accident. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 5—Through the overturning of a rowboat in Parlor Rock lake, in Longhill, nine miles {from this city, Mrs. Rose Keynsky and her hrother, Bernard Weiner, both- of New York, lost their lives, and the i husband of Mrs. Keynsky, who was | hurrying to the scene of the drowning, {was thrown head foremost from his carriage against a rock and wiil preh- ably die.
