NUMBER OF DEAD UNKNOWN.
No Accurate Estimate of Loss Is
Yet Possible.
Cranbrook, B. C, Aug. 4. The great
forest tire which In one day destroyed
the towns of Penile, Coal Creek, llos
mer nnd a section of Michel, In the
rich Kootenay mining district of Ilrlt
Ish Columbia, causing a loss of at
least Six) lives and the destructlou ot
more than SS.iXM.oix) worth of proerty.
Is still raging.
The flumes thus far have consumed
much more than a hundred square
miles, and the latest authentic rep. r Is
Indicate that they are sweeping with
great speed tuward the Montana
border They may now een have
crossed the line and entered the 1'nit
ed States.
So meager Is Ihe news from the
mountain towns that no exact estlinite
of loss of life can lie had, and prob
ably the nunilier of those who perl died
never will be known.
The estimates run ns high ns 2is.
while the property loss Is probabl)
over $.1.00O,Ol. The whole country lie
tween Cranbrook and Michel has licen
placed under martial law by the Ilrlt
fsh Columbia government, and nil
energies are bent to relieving the dis
tress of the survivors.
Bodies of Forty Dead 8s so.
First at rivals from Pernio place the
death list there at 200. The liodles ot
over forty dead were said to have
been seen along the track between
Michel end Prank. In one lumbet
camp eltcht dead are reported.
Wires' are Mill down In the burning
area, and the only authentlTnews Is
bronght out by men who have worked
their way through the fire rone.
When the flames first appeared In
the bush nt West Pernio the Inhab
itants started leisurely across the
river. Dut presently they saw that the
Are bad Jumped the river In the south
end, and then there was a stampede.
Families were separated, and children,
having no one to guide them, wander
ed nway from the line of escape and
were cut off. Shortly after the fire
lumped the river another long tongue
of flame ran through the west town to
the bridge, cvttlng off this avenue ot
escape.
Tales Told by Survivors.
Many harrowing talcs are told. One
woman of West Fernle had Just
emerged from her home, which was
on tire. She dropped dead of heart
disease The ncls'hhors burled her In
her garden and I hen ran for their lives.
In number part of the city an aged
woman, an lmalM, was carried a short
distance, but the heal became tno

prise nwalled the rescuers when they
came down to Fernle. fur by that time
tho place was burned and the trains

Peter Lnjole was the last to cross
the bridge, with his wife and two
children Two other children, as he
supposed, bad gone ahead with his
brother-in-law, hut. as It prnusl, they
had Ihhmi cut off and had perished.
Woman With Baby Lost.
In another Instance, while the bridge
was burning, a woman rushed to the
bank of the river with a child In her
arms The woter nt that point was
turbulent, the current being broken by
rocks. She tried to slgial those on
the east bank and. falling, started to
wade across. Hut the current threat,
ened to sweep ber off her feet, and
she was forced to return. She wept,
tore her hair and prayed till she fell
exhausted. Shu lay for a time on the
ground till a burning cedar fell uear
bur, rouslug her Again she ran to
the wutor, holding her baby up to
those on the othur bank There being
no sign of sld, she finally hunted up a
log, tied the baby on It with a sbnwl
and then pushed It out Into the stream
with n iole, In the hope that an eddy
would carry It across. Hut the log
rolled over anil over and the shawl
came loose and tho child disappeared.
As the fire came nearer the mother
wnded Into thn stream again. When
Inst seen she was standing waist deep
lu thn cuneiit. 'I lieu the smoke rolled
over, shot with flames, and the watch
eis had to look to their own safety.

has not been totally paralyxed Is re
ceiving the attention ot an nrtny of
workmen, who nre repairing tho

Great anxiety Is felt for the safety
of the hundreds of miners nnd pros
pectors who are In the mountains and
valleys which lie In Ihe path of the
Barnes. Should the fire sweep over
the Montana liordor, many of these
men may die of starvation l-fore be

NO DECISION YET
IN HAZERS' CASE
President Issues an Official
Statement
DAS NOT SENT THEM BACK
Denies Announcements Made by 8scre
tary Loeb and Secretary Wright Con
cernlng Eight Cadets Dismissed From
West Point For Hazing Underotaes
Students Reported Action In Matter
Had Met With Criticism as Sub
versive of Military Discipline.
Oyster Hay, N. Y Aug. 4. Whether
the dismissal from West Point of the
eight cadets who had liocn found
guilty of hazing Is to be made perma
nent or the young men reinstated
through congressional action or execu
tive clemency. Is still undetermined.
This attitude of the government Is set
torth In nn official statement Issued
by President Itoosevelt through Act
ing Pilvute Secretary Iludolph Foster.
The president characterizes as er
romsms contrary announcements made
earlier by Secretary Loeb aud Secre
tary of War Wright. He explains
that the president has not ns yet heard
finally from the secretary of war ns
to the hitter's recommendations 111 the
matter and that therefore the execu
tive has reached no final decision. By
Secretary Lisdi the president had boon
represented ns approving the dismissal
of the cadets. Subsequently and fol
lowing it i-onferenee with Mr. Itoose
velt Secretary Wright told the news
Uor men that n decision to tvlnstute
the nITctiilltig cadets had lieen reached.
The following statement by the pres.
blent at Sagamore Hill follows:
The President's Statsment.
"No action whatever has been taken
by the president In the cases of the
cadets, the statement that they were
originally nnlcnsl dismissed nnd that
the) have liocu ordered kept being
eiiiall.v erroneous.
"An appeal was originally made to
the president to Interfere. He declined
to take nny action or to Interfere In
nil) way until the secretary of wnr
had ovpressiil his opinion, the view
of Ihe ilcp.ti uncut then being seeming,
ly thai the emlels should be turned
out, the secretary not having come to
nny final ibi Won.
"The sistvtnry then notllicil the pres
ident that Instead of making any re
port he would like to illseiiss the mai
ler with the president lu ieison. He
accordingly came on, nnd the discus
slon was held, but no final decision
was reached, the secretary stating
that he ts not able to make n final and
definite recommendation ns to all of
the cases nnd profcired to make none
ns regards any until he could do It as
regards nil.
"The president has not yet beard
finally from the secretary and there
fore, of c-ourso, has come to no final
decision.
"This Is the first announcement that
the president has made In the matter
at nil. nnd he has never nt any time
come to nny decision one way or the
other, excepting lo slnle that he would
probably follow the views of the de
partment." -Loeb and Wright Contradicted.
Secretary Lis'b statisl that Mr.
Itoosevelt had et his approval upon
the findings of the Inwril of Inquiry,
1lu report of which had Ihnmi for
warded from the war department In
Washington for his examination. Sec
retary Loeb iidibsl that this action was
final and explained Hint the cadets
niuld lie reinstalls! only by net of con
gress. The president, the secretary
inade clear, had strongly approved the
papers, which had then lieen returned
to Washington,
Two days later dispatches from
Washington stated that Secretary
Wtlght evpectcil to go to Oyster Bay
to confer wllh the president on pend
ing matters of Importance.
Following the publication generally
of Secretary Wright's unequivocal
statement that a decision had lsnn
reached thai the cadets should be re
Instatisl. there has been criticism of
what was represented In some In
stances as n weakening of military
discipline, and a disposition to set the
matter light is mppiwisl to have call
ed foith the official Matemont tli.1t the
president had reached no conclusion
In the matter and that hs views hail
licen erroneously expressed by others.
Wright 8ays President Is Right.

question ns lo whether President
limisevelt had. nfler his reported np.

Ihe eight West Point huzers, right
about fncisl and ordered their rein

that they be punished, but not dis
missed. Secretary of Wnr Wright said
"Whatever Ihe president sa) Is right.
1 do not wish to discuss the matter
further III regard lo my statement
after seeing the president, I will say
that the decision In the cam may not
have lieen definitely ngri-ed upon."

dency, Chicago, Aug. 4.-ndward II. Itarrl
man before his departure from Chica
go for the west gave a short discus
sion of the iwsslblllty of a general In
crease of freight rates In the Unites'
States.
"The American people ought to lie
willing to pay the railroads ti proiier
compensation for a proper transporta
tion service," he said. "Such a service
we are now performing, but we nre
not receiving an adequate return.
"If the railroads are to go on ex
tending their lines, Improving those
which are now otierated and providing
new equipment to take care of the
country's business, they must have
more revenue.
"I am not In favor of a isdd, calcu
lating, cruel and horizontal Increase
In the rates. I am not a traffic man.
and I do not know much about such
things, but I know thst there ts a
proper way to go nliout R thing nnd
that there Is a bungling way to do the
amu th lug."
Favors Adjustment of Rstes.
Mr. llarrlman seemed to favor a
general readjustment of freight tariffs
rather than a general Increase, lie
believed that many rates were too low
and should be Increased, but he was
opposed to a straight Id per cent In
crease lu the carrjlng charges for all
commodities.
"Is there to be nn Increase In freight
rates?" he was asked.
"How can I tellT" was the reply, ac
companied by a despairing wave of
the bands.
"Well, If there Is to be no Increase
In freight rates will there be a decline
In wages?" was the next question.
"I don't care to talk about wages,"
said Mr. llarrlman. "But the railroad
lal Hirer Is lu the same position that the
railroad should be lu. He Is entitled
to all he can get for his services, pro
vided he gives the very best service
that lies In him."
Questions Asked and Answered.
Ur. llarrlman was asked this ques
tion: "Why Is It, Mr. llarrlman, that after
five yeara ot great prosperity the rail
roads are In bad straits, many of them
In the bands ot receivers and others
near receivership proceedings?"
"Simply because they are after
them," was the reply,
Mr. llarrlman did not explain whom
he meant by "they."
"Politics?" he said In answer to a
question concerning Mr. Rryan. "Well,
leave me out of politics. I am uot sup
porting any candidate."
"How about the plan of the Demo
crats to secure a physical valuation ol
the railroads?"
"That I can't answer; haven't even
read the Democratic platform. I'll
look It up."
Mr. llarrlman refused to talk about
the reversal of the Standard Oil fine
by the United Stales court of appeals.
Mr. llarrlman wrote answers to writ
ten questions as follows;
"Is the advance In securities Justi
fied by the actual or prospective con
dition? Yos.
"Do you think that advance will
continue nnd bow long? As long as
conditions continue natural and ns long
as the people are normal.
"Do you think the advance has dis
counted any Improvement In condi
tions? The decline was because of
abnormal nnd unnatural condition's and
ought not have occurred, at least not
to so great an exteut. A reaction was
due, but It would have been reached
by natural stages and not harmed
those engaged in legitimate enter
prises "

Makes Phonograph Speeches and Hear
Bryan Address.
Uot Springs, Va., Aug. 4-Mr. Taft
said that be had no politic to talk tor
publication, but he talked Into a pho
nograph. As the process ot making
a phonograph record Is something dif
ferent from making a campaign
speech from the back ot a car plat
form or from n front porch, Mr. Taft
found Mrs. Taft laughing at him a
he was doing a bit ot rehearsing for
the real records.
Mr. Taft will make several record.
Mrs. Tart was particularly Interested,
and It was largely because of her In
terest that the candidate consented to
make the records. She had first to be
convinced that Mr. Taft' voice could
bo recognlxed.
The speeches which a single record
will hold average about $00 words la
length. The topics to be discussed for
reietttlon In this way have uot as yet
been decided upon. As a sample ot
what the machine can do, the candi
date was treated to the reproduction
of a record made by W. J. Bryan.
Mr. Taft fixed Aug. 21 a the date
for the rally of Virginia Republican
hero. lie will make a political address
