CASSELS, Colo., Sept. 13.—The largest ‘and most. destructive forest fire in: Colorado is raging between Chase and Shawnee. Th's is the opinion of A, J. Wells, state timber inspector, and United States Government Agent Nicholson, who are on the ground. Mr. Wel ““The fire is entirely be- yond control and the only hepe of saving the forests and towns of Platte canyon from complete destruction Js that the wind does not shft from the east. Should the wind shift to the west, nothing can prevent the fire sweeping the canyon from top to bot- |tom. Damage already done to the Platte | water sheds cannot be estimated.” The flames cover a space of five miles in | length by one mile in width. All energles are directed toward preventifig the fire spreading down the canyon from Shawnee. MONTANA FORESTS AFLAME One Fire is in Dayton Creek Country and Other:Southwest of 1 Libby.

CAR THIEVES TO BE FOILED Improvement is Patented on Car Locks and Seals that Cannot Be Tampered With, SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Sept, 13.—(Special.) —C. F. Flynn, agent of the Chicago & Northwestert Railroad company at Miller, hps developed lnto an inventor. He has Just been gravted a patent upon a device to be known as’the Standard carlock and seal. 1t Is said to be a great improvement over the present methods of locking and sealing freight cars, .and promises to make Flynn a millignsire. The locks and seals at presept in use enable car thieves to break tbe seal, carr. ¥y what g0ods they want and then reseal the plun- dered car, making it impossible for rall- road authorities to locate the place where the robbery was committed. Cars equipped with the lock and seal in- vented by Flynn cannot be robbed without | compieiely breaking the seal, and thieves could not reseal a_car without detection. It will diépense entifely with the sealing press. and will cause a great saving in time, as it Is easily and quickly adjusted. 'The new lock and weal, it is said, will cost tulfy 50. per cent less than the locks and senls now in wse. s Flynn has epent several years perfecting the device, and’g@v(l depart for Chicago in @ few days to arrange for the manufac- ture of the locks and seals, which wiil at once be brought to the attention of the purely social.

Several hundred large Ameri- can flags will be stretched across the road leading to Sagamore Hill. At the entrance to the Roosevelt road a la banner will be stretched bearing the word ‘“Welcome,” surrounded by flags.

It {s expected that large parties will come over on these yacht ‘When the president issued his invitations for this veception he thought that only a few neighbors would come, his idea being to shake hands with the people about here who have kndwn him for many years.

SOUFRIERE'S NEW CRATER AGAIN ACTIVE Comst Line of St Vimcent sported to Be Notlceably & siding in Many Places. s Re- he Sept. 13.—The French solentific expedition which was sent to the island of Martfnique to study the situation caused by the eruption of Mount Pelee has drawn up a second report in which, speaking of the eruption of August 30, the commission- ers say that the disquieting eruption of that day renders continuous study of the phenomenon necessary. “There s no longer any doubt,” the com- missloners say, “that the evacuation of the entire Mount Pelee region, which we did not consider indispepsible a month ago, should now be carried out. Until the vol- canic disturbances have ceased the South- ern limits of the meuntain ought to be most" motively watched, espeoially i it Is demonstrated that 'the last eruption w due to a new crater n the lateral fissure.” The report concludes by dwelling upon the danger of tidal waves Inundating Fort de France. More Smoke Out of Soufriere. KINGSTOWN, Island of St. Vincent, Sept. 11.—An official at Chateau Belair re- ports that the Soufrlere’s new crater, which has been quiet hitherto, is today throwing out black smoke. The old crater, which in the sclentis opinion did all the work since May 7, which erupted Sept. 3, Is still issulng white steam in dense clouds, which can be seen from Kingstown over tife northern moun- tains. The craters and the Wallibou and Richmond districts could be seen yester- day. The volcanic matter which fell at Rich mond and Wallibou was finer than' that which fell at Chateau Belair, although the plices are ‘very near ecach other. The pumice ejected September 3 was more honeycombed, closely resembling that found in the Mediterranean. There has been a further subsidence at Wallibou in four different places and the local opinion is that these subsidetces on the coast line may account for the sand- like substances 'ejected ‘September 3. BOER TACTICS IN MANEUVERS Telegraphy s n Army New System of Wirele Also One of the Ger: Noveltien. BERLIN, Sept. 13.—Two novelties at. the army maneuvers, just ended, weére wireless telegraphy apd Boer tactics. The results of the wireless experiments seem com- pletely satisfactory and in the opinion of the military, chiefs will enormously, affect the transmission of intelligence during bat- tle. The system used was nelther the Slabyn or the Marconi, and a description of the apparatus is not available because visitors at the maneuvers when they came close to the stations were requested to retire. The exterfor of the apparatus is simply a cu- bleal iron box, about {hree feet each way, mounted on a wagon resembling a gun carriage and drawn by four horses. The messages sent were caught on a wire attached to a small balloon several hi dred feet above the carriage, Thes tlons were moved freely about the fleid, the horses sometimes golng at a trot. The oper- ators used a key producing s shrill, me- tallic ‘sound audible for a hundred yards. The cavalry corps, in making the detour yesterday kept constantly in touch with headquarters through the wirelgss tele- graph, enabling the corps to hasten the movement of the men. It will now be pos- sible to deliver co-ordipate attacks by widely separated divisions in a way hitherto imposeible. Boer tactics were used extensively dur- ing the third day of the maneuvers, when the infantry deployed in open order, ad- vanced regardless of regular formation, each man or squad taking advantage of Ir- regularities of the ground for Gov a running forward ip small sections, in of in a whole line sitting down again and once more advancing. The artillery alo, instead of being massed on prominent points, where guns and gunners would' be- come targets for the enemy's guns, Was placed in selected, covered locations, each battery taking position without regard to alignment with the others. 5 HIGH PRICE ASKED FOR BEER Only the Rich in South Africa Can Afford to Buy the Amber Fluid.
