Duluth and Other Towns Contribute

Uherally—KxteiiHive 1.oh*4‘n.

Duluth, Minn., Sept. 7.—There are

over 1,000 destitute retugees from the Hinckley and Sandstone fires now in Duluth, and it is expected that there will be but a few more to come. Over 88,000 has been raised for their relief, aud food, clothing and lumber are being donated liberally. Cloquet, Two Harbors and other surrounding towns are sending supplies. Some are returning to their burned homes, leaving wives and families in charge of the relief society or sending

them to friends and relatives. One of the sad features in the suffer-

ing on the scene of the catastrophe is I the large numbers of cows, horses, i sheep and hogs as well as fowls that ' miraculously escaped tho fires and are now suffering and slowly dying from hunger. The humane societies at Duluth will at once take this part of J

relief work in charge.

Duluth, Minn., Sept. 6.—The total loss caused to date by the forest fires in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota i cannot yet be estimated with much accuracy, but it is know that computable losses almost tax credulity. In four counties in Michigan the loss on standing pine is known to be ! at least 830,000,000, and in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota the loss is even greater. Logs ready for the mill have been burned in so many places

It Imliratrs New Life anil Activity In tha C'onimcrclal World. New York, Sept. 9. — UrailstreeU Bays of the commercial situation: “Special telegrams from more important distributing points make it plain that in mercantile lines trade is fairly active, fully meeting earlier and more favorable anticipations in a majority of instances and exceeding them in some. An increased number of interior buyers at larger cities within the week has served to stimulate the feeling of hopefulness and, aside from the cotton mill strike In New England and distress in the northwest, due to forest fires, the week has not brought unfavor-

able features.

“A striking feature at the west comes from Chicago, where the volume of business in all mercantile lines has increased, especially In dry goods, the total for the week being the heaviest for the season, notwithstanding conservative purchasing in that line by northwestern merchants. This is duplicated at St. Louis, where there has also been a larger volume of sales, both by jobbers and manufacturers, the total for August being equal to that in 18V*;. Omaha reports that Nebraska still needs a good deal of rain and that trade with jobbers is fair only. Milwaukee has experienced a decided improvement in demand for goods and money, while St Paul reports that loss of life and destruction of villages and property by the fire have checked purchases in that market. Minneapolis announces that the recent good volume of biiuluess there is holding its own. There is a reasonable trade at Louisville and Cincinnati, the former reporting many visiting buyers, increased sales, and manufacturers of

that they can not be estimated. Millions represent the losses on sawmill plants, and other millions the sawed lumber awaiting shipment. Still other millions were lost in the houses and personal effects of tlie victims. The railroads have suffered in the burning of bridges and damage tc tracks, but their chief deprivation is of the future. Vast stretches of country, denuded of their forests, will have nothing to ship and n<> inhabitants to pay freight and passenger tariffs. Men driven out by fire will not return even if there was business to entice them. In the end tlie railroads will be the chief sufferers. Nkoaunek, Mich., Sept. 8.-—Forest fires have started on the north and east side of this city. The damage is confined to standing timlier and farm crops. A strong breeze is blowing and the lire is spreading rapidly.

SEARCH FOR DR. CONKLIN. Dyimuiite to Ho Kx|ilodo<l in Stone Lake— A MyBterloun WaRon. Cassofolis, Mich., Sept. 10.—Dynamite is to be exploded in Stone lake in the search for the body of Dr. A. B. Conklin, who disappeared so mysteriously from this village a week ago. The case resembles that of Dr. Cronin very much, Dr. Conklin having been called out, ostensibly to attend a patient. He has been missing ever since that time. It is the belief that the doctor was lured away and killed in order to prevent his appearance as a witness for the prosecution in a murder trial. The latest theory, and one which seems supported by evidence, is that he was carried to tlie shore of tlie lake iu a box and placed upon a wagon in charge of tw’o unknown men aud that there was a struggle and outcries, after which tlie strange wagon drove rapidly away northward. Everything that can possibly be connected with it in any way is being investigated. but so far with no success. Some wild stories are alloat, but upon being run down they result in nothing. A reward of 82,000 has been offered for tlie discovery of the doctor dead or alive, and the search is being pushed vigorously. The fraternities of which the doctor was a member are urging the matter. Mrs. Conklin, though prostrated, still entertains hope that her husband is alive.

ARID LANDS FOR STATES.

Seared by Hie Action of the American Consul at shanghai. Shanghai, Sept. 7.—The recent surrender to the Taolai outside the settlement limits by tlie American consul of two Japanese who were recently arrested accused of being spies and who had been under the protection of the United States has created a panic among the Japanese in thiseonntry. The latter believed themselves to be safe under the protection of the United States, and their alarm is increased in view of tlie report that their two countrymen now in tha hands of tlie Taotai are to be immediately executed. The Chinese authorities, when the prisoners were surrendered, pledged themselves not to torture the captives and to give them a fair trial. All tho Japanese in this city, numbering about 700. are making preparations to leave at the earliest moment possible. Many have already fled. The Yokohama specie bank branch here is transferring its business to tlie Comptoir d’Escompte .during tlie war. The Japanese merchants are selling out their business and preparing to leave tlie country.
