Rutledge.] The Portugese ambassador who drew twenty years’ salary in advance has most of our honest grafters lashed to the mast. Through the use of the wireless they are conducting the British naval maneuvers from London. As we look back on it this was the main trouble in the Boer war. It is mournfully announced that the Duke of Devonshire has left only $5,824,900. Such shameful impro- vidence will justify many a little savings bank admonition. No sooner did a swordfish thrust his weapon through the hull of the dory of the fishing schooner Dorcas than an Atlantic liner cut an eighty- foot whale in two. The nautical yarner seems to be waking up. The deaths “caused by the intense heat” would be due to heart failure at any other season, and those men “crazed” by old Sol’s rays would be plain, dippy drunks in winter. Why scandalize the beautiful summer in this sorry fashion? EIGHT HUNDRED “KILLED. Casualties in a Month's Fighting at Tabriz, Persia. Tabriz, Persia, Aug. ' .—There has now been thirty-five days’ fighting in the streets of Tabriz and the casual- ties, due chiefly to bombs, thrown from mortars, and shrapnel, are esti- mated at 800. Many of the finer resi- dences of the city and hundreds of shops in the bazaars have been loot- ed, the loss in this direction being placed at more than $1,000,000. The American missionaries in ihe ecity have been exposed to stray bullets, but although they have had some nar. row escapes none of them has been injured. During one of the heavier bombardments a piece of a shrapnel shell fell in the mission garden within & few feet of one of the mission serv- ants. 8tory Denounced by Murphy. New York, Aug. ,—Charles F. Mur- phy denounced the report that Will- iam J. Bryan was displeased at a re- fusal of the New York leaders to"ask him to speak here. “That report,” Mr. Murphy said, “is simply the work of some trouble maker. There is ab- solutely no truth in it. Of course Mr. Bryan will be asked to speak here ‘when we get our campaign plans com- pleted.” Alleged Embezzler Captured. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 8.—Jacob Wes- ley McClure, formerly manager for the Singer Sewing Machine company in St. Louis, who is charged with em- bezzlement, was arrested here. He was making for Mexico when cap tured. McClure admits his identity. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, Aug. 7.—Wheat—Sept., $1.02%; Dec., $1.02%.

Speaks at Meeting of Virginia ‘Bar Association. . Hot Springs, Va., Aug. ,—Following & technical analysis of federal proce- dure by Judge H. McDowell of Lynch- burg William H. Taft addressed the Virginia Bar association, giving in de- tail his views on the delay in the ad- ministration of the law and sugges- tions for reforms. . Judge Taft presented his subject by stating that the end sought in the ad- ministration of justice was to promote tranquillity and contentment among the people. It had long been estab- lished that the supreme court of the United States was the ultimate ar- biter of the great political and legal issues, deciding on the limitations of both the legislative and executive branches of the government, which had carried the usefulness of the courts beyond anything attempted in other countries. Notwithstanding this desirable situation Mr. Taft expressed a doubt that our present administra- tion of justice insured general pop- ular satisfaction with its results. “There are,” he said, “abundant evidences that the prosecution of criminals has not been certain and thorough to a point of preventing pop- ular protest. The existence of lynch- ing in all parts of the country is di- rectly traceable to this lack of uni- formity and thorough enforcement of our criminal laws.” ~ One remedy, Mr. Taft said, must be reform in our judicial procedure, which now is too cumbersome. An- other would be more expedition on the part of judges in rendering their opin- fons. As to appeals Mr. Taft believes that “the court of first instance” and the immediate appellate courts should be for the purpose of finally dispos- ing in @ just and prompt way of con- " DANGER ZONE British Columbia Fires Still Raging in Timber. 7 _ 'DEATH LIST NOT S0 LARGE Loss of Life Now Placed at Thirty- eight and the Property Damage Be- tween Five and Six Millions—Refu- gees Are Returning to Fernie and the Work of Rebuilding the Stricken Town Has Begun. Vancouver, B. C., Aug. ~.—The de- structive forest fires in the Elk River valley have now burned past the re- gion of the towns. Michel, Hosmer and Cranbrook are now out of the danger zone. The flames are still devastating the timber region of the valley beyond the settlements, These bush fires may last a month, or until rain falls. The total loss of life in the burned area is now placed at thirty-eight and the property damage is estimated at between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. The women and children who were taken from Fernie and placed among the adjacent towns of Frank, Blair- more and Nelson are still in these places of refuge, but the men are back at Fernie and have begun the work of rebuilding the town. Tents and supplies of food and clothing have been received at Fernie from many places and the people are working strenuously. Nurses and physicians are having a busy time looking after the injured and taking precautions 1o prevent pestilence. There are now two cases of small- pox in Fernie. The Fernie disaster has struck a hard blow to the mining and smelting industry of British Columbia. The big smelters of the boundary district, employing 2,000 men, receive the bulk of their coke supplies from the coke ovens and mines of the Elko River valley and as all collieries in that section are in Such condition that it will require months to put them back in a position to supply coal in any quantily the smelters will be forced te curtail their operations and in some cases to shut down. This would throw several thousand men out of employment in the mines of the interior. i $3000 a Year can be made by a hustler cap- able of taking charge of our proposition in Beltrami County.
