DETROIT, Mich., May 4.—Fires broke out in tho forest back of Harrison, Ch.ro eounty, Tuesday, and since then have been spreading in all directions. Latest reports indicate that the counties of Osceola, Clare, Gladwin, Roscommon, Alcona, Ogemaw, Oscoda and Iosco arc ablaze. Fire Friday reached Cora Bros.' mills at IJarrisvllle, where it oonsumed S10,000 worth of logs. It also lapped over Clare county to Penasa, where the schoolhouso and three barns were burned. Slayton and Lane townships, Ogemaw county, are in the pathway of the flames, and nothing having been heard from there in two days fears are entertained for their safety. Saturday afternoon's train on tho Flint & X'ere Marquette railroad ran through belts of fire all the way from Reed City to Midland county, 00 miles, and whan near Farewell, Clare county, a tree that had burned through at the butt fell on the baggage car, smashing in the roof, but tho speed of the train ffu sufficient to throw the burning tree aside.

EAST TAWAS, Mich., May 4.—The forest fires to the north and west of here, wh:ch have done considerable damage, have been subdued by rain.

IS' PENNSYLVANIA.

ERIK, Pa., May 4.—The forest fires are raging with great severity along tho lino of tho Philadelphia fc Erie railroad, and it Is almost impossible for the trainmen to endure tho suffocating smoke in some parts of the mountain passes. In tho vicinity of Clarendon great trouble is experienced in keeping tho fire away from the town. At Sheffield the owners of oil-dcrrieks are fighting the fires and so far have managed to save everything except one or two rigs. At Ludlow the mountains are full of fire. At Wlloo* the fires are running up one side of the mountain and down tho other. Around Jolinsonburg and Ridgeway the fires are raging furiously, but the timber and low mountain growth does not come in close to the towns and they are not in imminent danger. Down On tho middle division of the Philadelphia & Erie railroad the mountains are full of fire, and while it is very disagreeable traveling the mountains, othey are a weird and grand scene at night. Game, including deer, is chased in herds into small lumbering towns.

REAHINO. Pa., May 4.—-The heavy |hower which fell Sunday morning did more thnu the Viands of men who hate been fighting the fire on tho Blue mountains could accomplish in tho last three duys. After devastating over 1,800 acres the ilamcs were extinguished by the rainfall, which lasted two hours.

BALTIMORE, MD., May 4.— A special dispatch to the Sun from Oakland, Mi, says: Forest fires are raging in almost evcryc direction, and oloudft of smoke asiend from overy mountain and hilltop of Garrett county. Tho people of Oakland can look from their windows nt night and watch the long lines of flames as they gradually creep up the mountain sides. Everything is so extremely dry that it is next to impossible to cheek tho fires, and much valuable property is being destroyed.

THE KIKE RECORD ELSEWHERE. LVI.K, Minn., May 4.—Fire broke out Saturday morning in the Wheeler liouse, a vacated hotel, and in less than three hours after the lire had wiped out property valued at 5140,000. The town was entirely without fire protection, and the flames spread so rapidly that before assistance from neighboring towns could reach there the fire had done most of- its work. The Union depot, belonging to the Chicago, St Paul & Kansas City, and the Illinois Central, together with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul depot ami two grain elevators were consumed. Among the principal losers are Lund & Lundland, dealers in general merchandise, stock valued at S20.000, covered by SI2,000 insurance John My lu-r. general store, loss SIS,000. S10.000 insurance Myers fe Frazier, loss $8,000, $3,000 insurance A. J. Kudson's hardware and agricultural implements business was a total loss, estimated at S'J'2,000. The Commercial hotel, Stanley's barber shop, Hart & Conners' saloon, Arens' meat market, McCarty Bros.' saloon and a number of residences were burned. Thcro is strong suspicion that it was the work of an incendiary.

ALTOONA. Pa., May 4.—Two fires Sunday morning totally destroyed the Belim nnd Rising Sun hotels on Tenth avenue, the hardware store of the ALtoona Hardware Company on Eleventh nvenue, and the large exchange stables attached to the White Hall hotel on Sixteenth street. The stock of William Murray & Son, dry goods, was also partially damaged by smoke and water. The fires were undoubtedly of incendinry origin. The loss will amount to $75,000.

PrrrsiiiTRGii, Pa., May 4 —A special from Scrnnton, Pa., says: Firo destroyed the barns of the Scranton Electric street railwuy, with over thirty cars damaged. Tho Republican building and many other buildings close by, St. Luke's Episcopal church and rectory and the Young Men's Christian association building had narrow escapes. The total loss will reach over 3200,000.

HARRISON AT SACRAMENTO,

The President Visits the Capital „t Call, fornltt—Banquet at Frisco. BAN FRANCISCO, May 4.—The president visited Sacramento Saturday and returned in the afternoon. When the train arrived at Davisvillo at 0 o'clock a. m. it was boarded by a special committee and at Sacramento station Mayor Comstock and other committees met tho distinguished guest. Escorted by military and civic organizations, the presidential party was taken along the principal streets to the state capitol, where the school children of the city gave the president a hearty greeting and scattered flowers before his carriage in the same lavish manner that characterized similar demonstration In other California cities. Gov. Markham greeted the president in the Capitol park and delivered the address of welcome, to which the president made a brief response. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the party was taken for a short drive through tho city. At 10 o'clock tho special train started back for Oakland, amid the cheers of a great crowd that had assemble*! at the station. Many houses in the city were decorated in honor of the president's visit. Before the party left the president and Mrs. Harrison were presented with a representation of the seal of the city of Sacramento engraved on a gold plate.

On its return from Sacramento the president's special train stopped for a few minutes at Benlcla and a floral tribute in the shape of a cannon was presented to tho president by school children, who were drawn up in a body. The presidential party also paid a visit to the state university and returned to this city about 4 o'clock. In tho evening tho president attended a banquet given in his honor by tho Union League elub.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.—President Harrison obtained much needed rest 6unday. In the morning he attended the First Congregational church. The rest of the day he remained in his rooms.

The funnel-shaped cloud characteristic of tornadoes was present In a few minutes the. streets were rivers of water. The first work of destruction by the tornado was the unroofing of the Newport News fc Mississippi valley freight depot. After this the tornado cut a zigzag swath through the city. One hundred buildings were either totally wrecked, moved from their foundations or unroofed. Mrs. Henry Meyers and her three children werc'badl.y cut by Hying glass and debris on Third street.

GOLD COIN FOR EUROPE.

Steamer* Leaving New York Carrjr with Tliem Over *3,000,000. NEW YORK, May 4.—The steamships which left this port for Europe Saturday morning took out over $3,000,000 in gold coin. Regarding the gold exports there was considerable apprehension in some quarters that they might Increase in amount, as the evident policy at financial centers abroad is to strengthen their gold resources and the drain must fall upon us. Foreign bankers 6aid that later on conditions would be changed if our crop of cereals turns out as well as expected and the predicted failure of the European harvest proves true, in which event the return movement of gold on a large scale would result.

IN A STATE OF SIEGE.

PARIS, May 4.—The details of the labor trouble at Fourmies immensely heightened the political importance of tho incident. The fact that six women, several children and eight men were killed on the spot, while twenty were seriously wounded, several fatally, gives the affair the character of a massacre. The soldiers were merely exposed to stone-throw-ing, but they repliod with successive volleys from Lebel rifles, inflicting frightful wounds on the victims. The houses exposed to the fire were riddled and there is every sign that reckless and wanton inhumanity was shown by the troops. The local popular commotion Is intense, and it finds a response in the growing excitement in every working center. Fourmies is practically in a state of siege. Cavalry patrol the streets and are everywhere greeted with yells of reprobation from excited groups of men and women. Tho tension of feeling may be judged from the fact that the military are hailed with crie^ of "Vivo Prussia."

The funeral of the victims was fixed for Sunday, but tho enormous number of workmen arriving from other industrial centers caused the government to send for reinforcements and to order the postponement of the funeral until to-day.

A section of the left and the socialist and Boulangtst deputies join In demanding a vote of censure against M. Constans, minister of the interior, as responsible for the slaughter. A motion to that effect will be made in the chamber of deputies to-day. A majority of the right and left approve generally the measure of the repression taken by M. Constans throughout the country, but will advocate an inquiry into tho conduct of the troops at Fourmies. Parliamentary circles view the affair us shaking the position of the ministery. Labor centers throughout France are profoundly moved and public meetings here and at Marseilles, Lyons and elsewhere aro being organized to protest against the precipitate action of the authorities.

LONDON, May 4.—The attendance at the labor meeting in llyde park Sunday is variously estimated from 200,000 to 300,000. The procession In connection with the meeting included workers at all tho trades, and was many miles long. John Burns, Thomas, tho president of tho Dockers' union Benjamin Tillctts nnd Mr. Graham, the socialist member of parliament, were among the speakers, Who were assigned to twelve different platforms which had been erected in the park. An identical resolution in favor of a oompulsory labor day of eight hours was moved on all tho platforms.

From various dispatches it is ascertained that in general quiet prevailed In continental countries Sunday. A number of labor meetings were held In Berlin and resolutions passed favoring tho compulsory eight-hour labor day. They were conductcd in an orderly manner. The city was guarded by mounted infantry.

In Hamburg 30.000 persons, a tenth of whom were the wives and sweethearts of.tlie workmen, paraded through the suburb of Horn, delegates from '.lie workmen's societies keeping excellent order. In the lino were many bands and banner- and a number of choral societies took part in tlio procession. After a short meeting in the public park, at which appropriate resolutions were adopted, the crowd dispersed and devoted the remainder of the day to music und dancing. No disorder was reported anywliero.

In the Belgian mining districts disorders still prevail and many telephone wires have been cut and windows smashed. Meetings were held at Liege, Seraing and other placcs to denounce the notion of the Brussels Labor union, which sent delegates to various centers to delay or prevent strikes. At these meetings It was decided to disregard the advice of the union and commence a general strike. A state of siege lias been proclaimed in the villages around Liege.

Tho Premier's Latest Viow on the Now Orleans Affair.

ITALY'S CLAIM, HE DECLARES, IS JUST

Willing* to I.i-iivn It to the Judgment of Fuhllt: Opinion, He Thinks It Almut 1 lino "to llr.-ak Off Tlilx Hont-lt-sH Controversy."

INSTRUCTIONS TO IMPKRIAT.I. ROME, May 4.—The green book on the New Orleans lynching comprises twenty-four dispatches, dated from March 14 to April 2S. It shows that the Italian government from the commencement persevered in asking that criminal proceedings be taken against tho lynchers and that an indemnity bo paid to tho families of the victims. The expression "brought to justice" recurs in tho official dispa'chesas well as in Baron Fava's private letters. The principal communications have already i-.en published. After Mr. Blaine's note of April 14 the volume concludes with tho telegram from Marquis dl Rudinl to Marquis Imperiali, the text of which is as follows: "I hnvo now boforc me noto addressed to you by Secretary Hlnlne, April H. 11J perusal produces a most painful impression upon tne. I will not stop to lay stress upon tlie lack of conformity with diplomatic usages displayed in making use, as Mr. Hlulno did not hesitate to do. of a port lw of a telegram of mine communicated to him In strict conlldcnco in order to Ret H1 of a question clearly dellncd In our official documents, which alono possess a diplomatic value. Nor will I •top to point out tlio reference In this telegram of initio of March !M that the words 'punishment of the t'uilly' In tho brevity of telegraphic laiiKuage actually slgnllled only that prosecution ought to bo commenoed in order that tho Individuals recognized as guilty should not escape punishment. Far above all astute arguments remains tho faot that henceforward tho federal government doclaros Itself conscious of what we have constantly asked, and yet It docs not grant our legitimate demands. Mr. Blaine Is right when ho makes tho payment of Indemnity to the families of the victims dependent upon proof of the violation of the treaty, but we shrink from thinklng thnt ho considers that the fact of suoh violation still needs proof. Itollan subjects acquitted by American Juries were massacred in prisons of tho state without measures being taken to defend them. What other proof does tho federal government expect of a violation of treaty wherein constant protectlon and security of subjects of tho contracting partlos nro expressly stipulated? We bavo placed on evidence that wo have never asked anythlug else but tho opening of rogulai proceedings. In regard to this Unron Fava'8 first note, dated March IB, contained oven'tho fortnulu of the telegram addressed on the same day by Mr. Dlulne under tho order of President

Harrison to the governor of Louisiana. Now, liowovcr, in the noto of April 4 Mr. Binlue is silent 011 tlio subject which Is for us tho main point of controversy. "We arc tinder tho sad necessity of concluding that what to every other government would appear to be the accomplishment of strict civil duty is Impossible to the fedorai government. It Is time to break off this bootless .controversy. Public opinion, the soveroign judge, will know how to Indicate an equitable solution of tills gravo problem. We have affirmed, nnd we again nfflrm, our first right. Let tho federal government reflect upon Its side If It Is expediunt to lenvo to the mercy of eueh stale of the union, Irresponsible to foreign countries, the Efficiency of troatles, pleading Its fnith and honor to entire nations. "Tho present dispatch Is addressed to you oxeluslvely, not to the fedorai government. Your duties heneoforth arc solely restricted to dealing with current business."
