MANY VICTIMS. Forest Fires in Northern Wiscone sin Cause Great Loss of Life. Fifteen Persons Perish While Trying to .

' AWFUL WORK OF THE FLAMES, . ° AsHLAND, Wis.,, July 80.—Loss of property approximating $3,000,000 and heavy loss of life, the extent not yet known, though at least fifteen persons met death at Phillips Friday, is the record of the forest fires which have swept northern Wisconsin. It is almost a certainty that some of the lone homesteaders scattered throughout the burning timber have perished 1n the flames wunless- they have in some marvelous way escaped the suffocating flames and smoke. ‘Those known to be dead are: Mrs. David Bryden, two children of Mrs. Bryden, Frank Cliss, three Cliss children, James Locke; Mrs. James Locke, tive Locke children, unknown woman, body found in the ruins of F.

PrirvLips, Wis.; July 80.—Not since the terrible forest fires destroyed Peshtigo has anything occurred which will compare with the scene of ruin here. Out of a town of 700 buildings only twenty-seven are left standing. It is not yet known how many of the 8,000 inhabitants of the town perished. When the impossibility of checking the flames became apparenta rush was made by the people for places of safety. Trains on the Wisconsin Central line were hurried to the town, and as fast as steam could carry them the inhabitants were taken to other towns which were supposed tobe out of the range of the flames. There was no time to carry away property of any description except that which could be readily carried on the person, and so everything,as far as can be ascertained, was swept away. ‘ It was during the first fire that the loss of life occurred. Driven frantic by the rushing gale of flames, the families of James Locke, Frank Cliss and Dave Bryden gathered hurriedly in their arms all their possessions that they could and made for a floating boathouse - that was tied to the town bridge near the box factory. The ropes were cut and the occupants thought the gale would drive them across the lake where the flames would not reach ,them, but the raft was a rickety affair and overloaded, and, most terrible of all, the fire seemed to create a current of air that pulled them directly towards a great pile of burning lumber on the lake shore."

The raft began to sink, and, with death by fire facing them on -one side and drowning on the other, the boats were resorted to, but in the gale they capsized almost instantly, and all perished with the exception of Mrs. Cliss, who was found floating Saturday morning on the opposite side of the lake, clinging with desperation toa boat. ¢

The body of an unknown man burned to a crisp has already been found in Phillips, and it is feared there are others which have not yet been revealed to the searchers. Owing to the scattering of the population and the uncertainty as to the .whereabouts of many families, a list of those actually missing cannot be had. A committee of citizens from Ashland arrived with a special train of provisions Saturday night at 9 o’clock. It was the first material relief to arrive and it arrived just in time to keep the people from actual suffering for want of food. The provisions were given out in small quantities, so as to make them last as longas possible and keep something available until other provisiens arrive. : ’ Gov. Peck and his staff arrived from Madison Sunday morning. A dozen cars of provisions have arrived from various cities, and the organization for relief has been completed.’ The entire northern part of the state is a sea of flame. The country is dotted with the homes of farmers and homesteaders and with lumber camps. There is no doubt that hundreds of these buildings havé been burned, while the fate of the people is in doubt. It is probable that many of them have lost their lives. :

The forest fires are still raging to the north and west of here, and it is reported that several small stations between here and Ashland on the Central have been wiped out. The town of Worcester, a few miles west of here, is reported to have been destroved. . :

DEBS AT TERRE HAUTE. . He Talks to His Townsmen About the : Big strike. ¥ TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 80.—There | were 1,800 persons in the opera house Sunday night to hear Eugene V. Debs, and 1,000 more could not getin. When the familiar figure of the American Railway union president appeared on ; the stage there was loud and long-con-tinued applause. A synopsis of his remarks follows: | Mr. Debs. began his speech by saying that as a general proposition he is opposed to strikes but there are ‘times when not to strike is to accept degradation. “We are a striking government,’’ he added. ‘“Every star in the flag represents a strike.” The revolutionary fathers struck against tyranny and for liberty. If all employes had been treated fairly there would have been no labor organizations. He said he had done all he could to prevent the Pullman strike. Then followed a narrative of the efforts of committees to secure arbitration. S ¢« Mr. Debs followed with the story of the American Railway union national convention and its efforts to secure redress for the Pun—? man employes, but the company would make ‘no concession and the convention by a unanimous vote decided to haul no more Pullman cars. The charge that he had ordered the strike, he said, was absolutely false. In all of his connection with organized labor he had not advised a man to leave his employment. The railway managers met and decided to support the Pullman company in the fight ilt was making on its employes. “The manégers also decided to destroy the American Railway union,” said he, “but that is a contract they would like to sublet now.” The American Railway union, he said, simply followed the example of the managers by combining for mutual protection. -

Mr. Debs said it had been printed that he was a foreigner and an anarchist. He was proud of the fact that he had been born and reared in Terre Haute. He had no patience with violence in any form. He saidit could be proved that at the time of the Buffalo switchmen'’s strike the companies caused cars to be burned so they could have the- militia called ous.- .

‘““When the truth is known it will be found that the American Railway union was in nowise responsible for arson or any lawless acts. ‘With the aid of soldiers the manageq&s ﬁnallg succeeded in operating their roads in' a manner.” . : s

Workingmen would no longer be supplicants. They would take what was their right, not in an unlawful manner, but they were the people and this was a people’s government. _Hg spoke of the failure to enforce the int_erstate fom'merce law against the corporations, which called up the same law against workingmen. He denied that he was to be branded as an anarchist because corporations defled the laws. He urged his hearers to bear in mind that they must use the power of the ballot. He hoped there would never be another strike. He had about made up his mind never again to be connected with a strike: He would do his striking at the ‘ballot box. He did not have much faith in public opinion, but when it gets right the A. R. U. strike would be overwhelmingly vindicated, and he was content to walt for that time. . ~ Hesaid no word as to the future of the strike, but in his story of it he spoke of it in terms indicating that he thought of it as a thing of the past. He said in closing that if a penalty attached to his. actions he would acoept his fate like & man. He would not shirk the responsibility for his acts.

CHICAGO, July 30.—Judge Woods has granted an appeal by the American Raiway union from the decree of injunction issued by the circuit court. The effect of the appeal will be to stop any further proceedings in the circuit court under the bill filed July 2 on behalf of the railroads, but it leaves the injunction which was issued still in force and does not interfere in any way with the’contempt proceedings against Debs and others. : CHILDREN ASPHYXIATED. Im&oned in a Freight Caboose by & | Spring Lock at Hartford, Conn. ﬁARrFORD. - Conn., July 80.—Raymond, -aged 9; Leroy, aged 7, and Freddie, aged 4, the children of James W. Ganlon, a locomotive engineer on the New York, New Haven & Hartford raiﬂ;ad, who have been missing since Thursday evening, when they went to bathe in the Connecticut river, were found dead at 8 o’clock Sunday morning in the closet of a freight caboose standing on a side track near the roundhouse, not 300 feet from their home. After numerous searches for two days Chief of Police Bill ordered the freight cars and railroad property searched, and two policemen were drawn to the caboose by the smell of decomposing flesh. In the closet, shut by a spring lock, they found the three bodies entirely nude and badly decomposed. The inquest by Medical Examiner Fuller disclosed no evidence of foul play and he gave a verdict of accidental death by asphyxiation. The caboose was newly painted and the children went in to play, a pack of cards being found in the closet. It is supposed they closed the door and could not open it and soen suffocated in the stifling hot air of the narrow inclosure.

SLAIN IN HIS CAB. A Chicago and Eastern Illinois Engineer Assassinated. ; DANvILLE, 111., July 80.—Non-union railroad men at Germantown, east of Danville junetion, have been fired upon almost nightly for the last week..

; ~THE PALACE FALLS. : Japanese Defeat Coreans at Seopl—'l‘i\o King’s Residence Captured. BerLIN, July 30.—Advices received here from Seoul by wayof Shanghai show that upon the refusal of Corea to accede to Japan’s demand that the Chinese troops be sent out of the country, the Japanese advanced on Seoul. After a short encounter, in which the Coreans were defeated, the Japanese occupied the royal palace. .The king of Corea thereupon asked the foreign representatives to intervene. S - A dispatch from Shanghai gives further details of the recent naval engagement. One of the Japanese warships got within a comparatively short distance of the transport Kow Shing and discharged a torpedo at her. The missile was well directed and struck the transport fairly. A terrific explosion followed and the Kow Shing began at once to fill. Prior to the discharge of the torpedo the crew of the transport, which was armed, and the military force on board of her made a hard fight against the attacking force. Many of ' those on board of her were shot dead on her deck. S .

Every foreigner on board the transport, which had been chartered by the Chinese government from an English company, was either killed in the fighting or went down with the vessel when she foundered. : .

The loss of life was very great. Of nearly 2,000 Chinese troops on board of her only forty were saved. They were picked up by the French gunboat Lion that was cruising in the vicinity. ' ; v

THROWN FROM HIS "HORSE.

Archduke William lIL, of Austria, Is Killed Near Baden.

VIENNA, July 80.—Archduke William 111., son of the late Archduke Charles and a second cousin of Emperor Francis Joseph, met with an accident Sunday that resulted in his death. He was riding at Weikersdorf, mnear Baden, when . his horse shied, being frightened by {a passing electric car.. The archduke was thrown out of the saddle and in falling his head struck a stone: One of his feet became entangled in a stirrup, and, the horse running, he was dragged some distance before the animal was stopped. The archduke, who was unconscious, was carried into a nearby restraurant, and medical aid was at once summoned. The physicians found that he was suffering from concussion of the brain and gave orders for his removal to his own villa. Shortly after he had been placed in bed at the villa he recovered consciousness and hopes were entertained for his recovery. He soon relapsed and shortly afterward died.
