It makes an excellent im-prestion and the audience cheer enthusiastically and Mr. Tirard is warmly congratulated by the officials surrounding him. Then President Carnot arose and read his speech. His voice is shrill but audible. His peroration is delivered with considerable earnestness.

Every word is safe, pru. dent, plausible and generous. He has made no allusion to hostile governments, but has spoken mage animously and justly of foreign peoples. His essay was worthy of the day in it breadth and sympathy of outlook.

Furious forest fires are raging in northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, and an immense amount of damage has been done.

For miles on three sides of Duluth the fire rages, and many country residences have been destroyed by the flames. On the Hermantown road, near Duluth, every dwelling for four miles has been destroyed. It is feared that some lives have been lost, as incoming farmers report a vast sea of fire which Is sweeping everything before it. A high wind is blowing, which makes it impossible for any headway to be made against the fire! It must simply burn until there is nothing more for it to destroy. Several houses were burned yesterday near Spirit Lake.

A large number of telegraph poles have been burned, and communication interfered with. In some places, too, the ties on the track have burned out, making it dangerous to move trains. South of Ashland for miles the forests are ablaze. On the Fon Du Lac Indian reservation over $20,000 worth of skidded logs went up. Other losses ag- ereeatinff $10,000 also occurred on the reservation.

Cumberland, is almost wholly surrounded bv fire. The losses aggre gate $40,000. North of Grantsburg, is, the fire has swept the country, destroying everything in its path. Along the Northern Pacific, in the neighborhood of Cromwell, the tamarac forests. and whatever else comes in the war, is being burned.

It his hoped a heavy rain will come soon to put a stop to the further spreading of the fire. Near Hincklev. Minn, Charles Camp bell and Earnest Towell were surrounded by fire, and finally their camp outfit was burned about them. Thev took refuge on a half acre of plowed ground, but were terribly buined and will die. Four yoke of cattle perished.

Duluth, Minn, May f. there was quite a heavy rain for a few minutes yesterday, which cleared the atmosphere in Duluth of the heavy cloud of smoke. and checked somewhat the torest hres in that neighborhood, but the shower was local, and the fires in most directions are still raging. A lumberman who arrived yesterday from Ashland, Minn on the Northern Pacific railroad, said there was but little rain there and it did not do any good. Near Chariton Station, Wis, the house, barn and entire plants of the brick yard of F.

H. Apygar were destroyed. Superintendent Green of the Northern Pacific is in from Brainard. He reports little rain in that direction, and the coun try covered with smoke from burning woods. An engineer on the night train en the St.

Paul Duluth, which arrived here yesterday morning, says that on the run from Mission Creek to near Duluth, sixty miles, there was no need of headlight, the track being lighted up by the names. The damage to the setters and farmers and to lumbermen will be great. A good deal of stock is probably destroyed. Several lumber camps have been burned out. Everywhere the cry is for rain.

Duluth, May 6. Rain has checked forest fires to some extent. Every in coming train reports a fresh list of dam ages and the total wia probably reach over $1,000,000. On both sides ot Pike Lake Station, ever during a thunder storm the flames fanned themselves into fury and the pine trees fell and shriveled up like matches. For miles this side of Ashland the forests are one sheet of blazing fire.

West of the Northern Pacific junction the fire has done a great deal of damage. For miles this side of Pinkey on the St. Paul Duluth "the track was like a skillet TLe Same Old Game. Cincinnati, May 6. On Sunday last at Washington Court House Fa vette county, Ohio, two confidence men induced Far mer Wm.

Coffman to play with them in a trick game of cards, and he won $6xo, but before paying it required him to produce $6,000 to show them he was able to pay in the case he had lost. The old man went to the bank and borrowed $6,000 in bills, and returned to the farm where, as soon as he displayed the money the men seized it and with drawn revolvers drove off, leaving the old man to realize his situation. He acted promptly, and by the use of the telegraph descriptions of the men were sent out. Marshal Duley of Lees burg, found the men at New Vienna waiting for the Cincinnati! train, due in seven minutes. He promptly arrested them and found $6,126 on the person of one of them most of it in the packages as received from the bank.

The man having the money gave the name of George Carter, and also had registered at a hotel as H. H. Marlen of Toledo. He is about 35 years of age, wore a full brown beard and mustache, has even, fine teeth, lips firmly set, acquiline nose and weighs about 150 pounds, tits confederate. Black, was released upon the assurance of men in New Vienna that he was a well known commercial traveler.

Marshal Duley gets a reward of $2,000 offeted for the ar rest of the thief and recovery of the money. It is thought Carter is a profes sional confidence man, and that he will be wanted In other places for similar crimes. He is now at Washington Court House jail. OklshsBsa Boomlets. Kansas City, May 6.

The suffering of the baffled boomers is given much prom inence just now. Along the northern border yesterday 1.000 wagons on the march down and Soo wagons on the way back were counted. The groves in the Arkansas and Walnut river valleys, that afforded camps for the boomers before the descent, are filling again with the returning unfortunates. There are hundreds of families among them who have sold everything to make the trip, and now nave nothing left. The sight ot men, women and children who are thus unprovided for and desolate, with the mere frames of horses surviving to drag them along, is pitifuL Guthrie still holds the majority of population, and is not jet symmetrically formed.

So far no success has attended their efforts. The trunk in which the doctor's body is thought to have been placed after the supposed murder, was traced from the corner of Fullerton avenue and Perry street to Clark street, from there to Evanston avenue and from there to Sultezer street. At that point the trail ends. The tuft of hair found in the trunk will be taken to Dr. Cro-nin's barber in order that it may be positively identified if possible.

The friends of Dr. Cronin scout the idea that he is on a spree. They deny that he was what is known as a drinking man and say that he never indulged in liquor to excess. Alabama White Cap. Birmingham, Ala, May 6.

Up at Falkville, sixty miles north of this city, on the Louisiana and Nashville railroad, a little war has been in progress nearly all the week between railroad section men and special officers of an organized band of masked men or "White Caps." It seems that on last Monday night a band of men went to the house of one Cooper, a white section hand who lived on the edge of the town, and while the inmates were asleep tacked a card on the door which bore the following insprip-' tion: "Mrs. Cooper If you and your negro boarders are here Tuesday night you may expect hard treatment. This is no April fool." A number of citizens had accused the Coopers of keeping a disorderly house and feeding negro railroad hands, and the mob determined to make them leave. Both Cooper and his wife read the notice on the door Tuesday morning, but paid no attention to it. That night about 12 o'clock, the house was surrounded by a band of masked men to the number of about twenty or thirty, and nearly a hundred shots were fired into the house.

Cooper was awakened, but attempted no defense further than to barricade the door. No one was hurt, and after making a number of threats the maskers disappeared. The door was one mass of holes and lead and the windows were shattered ts pieces. On Wednesday Foreman J. N.

Endy, who has charge of the section hands at that place telegraphed to Superintendent Newbold for otScers and assistance to help him defend the company's employes from the attacks of the gang. Special officers were sent up on the next train, well armed and prepared to meet the intruders. That night another attack was expected, and it came. The officers posted themselves in another house about a hundred yards away from Cooper's as they expected that the mob would attack all the section hands' houses. About 11 o'clock at night the officers heard about forty shots fired over toward Cooper's house and immediately left their fortress and proceeded in that direction.

Hearing of the approach of the tne maskers retreated. 1 ney had given Cooper's house another dose of lead, but no one had been hurt. On Thursday several citizens came to the of ficers and told them that all the trouble could be avoided by discharging Cooper, and telling him to move awav. Before this was done, however, hejof- bcers drew up papers and had them signed by the principal leaders of the mob, to the enect that tt Cooper and his family moved awav peace and harmony would reign between the citizens and the railroad company. 1 be papers were all signed and delivered to Superintendent Newbold, and the Coopers left.

Since then warrants have been sworn out for everyone Implicated in the shooting, charging them with disorderly conduct and for Dutch Bilvens, John Brown and T. Cain and several other assailants, charging them with murderous assault. At last accounts ail ot the parties had eluded arrest. More trouble is likely to follow. Will Attend the fleeting.

PARIS EXPOSITION. PRESIDENT CARNOI'S ADDRESS The Openicg Day of the Paris Exposition the Greatest Thing: of the Kind Ever Known in the History of France Nearly Every Country Represented Carnot, the President of That Republic, Adresses the Assembled Multitude on the Progress of the World. Pari. May 6. President Carnot formally opened the exposition this afternoon.

The President was accompanied to the exposition grounds by the presidents of the senate and chamber of deputies. The party was escorted by a squadron of cavalry. They left the "Elysee at i o'clock, and an 'artillery salute announced their arrival under "the central dome of the main exposition building. President Carnot ascended the dais that had been erected under the dome. He was surrounded by the members of the cabinet and members of the senate and chamber of deputies.

Mr. Tirard. the prime minister, snade an address welcoming the President. He declared that the exposition exceeded all expectation, and proved that the people still preserved all the qualities for which they had been noted. Despite theacuteness of the economic crisis they had been able to collect a splendid array of exhibits.

Although every government did not officially take part in the work most of them generously seconded the efforts of private individuals. At the conclusion of his addres. M. Tirard extended a greeting to the strangers now in Paris, and said that republican France would show itself hospitable and generous, treating them not as rivals inspiring jealcrusv, but as fellow workers laboring for the happiness of humanity. President Carnot, in his address, referred to the undauntable energy of France arising from 'he severest trials to fresh industrial triumphs.

He afterwards inspected the various departments of the exhibition. Copyrighted 1SS9 by the New "York Associated Press.J Paris, May 6. At 2 o'clock thn afternoon, surrounded by his ministers and many distinguished generals. President Carnot stood under the great dome of the exposition building formally to declare it open. The preliminaries had been auspicious.

The ceremonial at Versailles yesterday, while not of the first importance, was dignified and discreet. The military display, which was inferior to naaay I 'have seen in Paris, was wisely curtailed to give visitors an opportunity to see the charms of the roost beautiful cify in Europe, whose natural loveliness is not overmatched by its historical association, in which romance and tragedy so strangely commingled. The speech by the President and others were characterized alike by tact and taste, and the solitary marring incident the blank cartridge discharged by a maudlin sensationalist who tsv-dav was ascertained to be a harmless imbecile, deserving only pity, has already been forgotten. Everywhere the demonstrations were unqualified. If discontent prey ailed, it remained away from Versailles and has, up to this time at least, uttered no sound siid gives no sign.

The talisraanic spell of thrift soothe whatever of political rancour may I'lk vent under other circumstances." 1 The rl sal epesode of General Bou-langers election to the municipal court1 of St. Oene yesterday rouses little interest. The Presidential cortege arrived at the exposition ground arts' escorted by a brilliant corps of Cuirrasier whose breast plates flashed back the pleasant May day sun. The clock struck two and the entire assembly under the dome arose to it. The free scenic nation has supplied during the centuries of its monarchy and empire many gorgeons spectacles for artists to preserve, for priests to chant and philosophers to discuss, but at no time since the days of the great Louis, were beauty and democracy so picturesquely harmonized as at this moment.

Conceive of a great crystal dome suggestive of St. Paul decorations reaching to the apex, noble in symbolism and illustration, the art of civilization of all countries noted by ingenious and graceful devices, the names of the world's greatest emblazoned gold letters, the various emblems of civilization arranged pictorially upon arches, a colossal frieze extending entirely round the base of the dome composed of magnificent processional national types of all nation, bearing appropriate offerings. The surprise of the day was the presence of alt the diplomatic represents now In Paris. While their governments declined to permit them officially ta assist in the opening of the exposition, personal good will and possibly private curiosity have overcome the prohibition, and they were all unofficially present. It is a sight that can be seen 'nowhere but in Paris.

All except the Japanese, who have adopted European garb, are in the dress of their respective courts. Only one foreign representative is in austere black, unrelieved by any decoration. This is Mr. Robert McLesn, the retiring minister of the United States, who is greeted warmly on every side. After the Marseillasse had been played by a picked orchestra and suug by a chorus of men's voices admirably 'balanced and of delightful quality, Premier Tirarde rose to deliver the opening speech.

At once the entire ass-mbly be came seated and unbroken attention continues. It is a judicious speech and pronounced with moderate but wisely regu Fort Scctt, Kansas. and Baft Hoose Mai fcrr Open tram 7 (v10p. a. Kvervv PtJUI BATES TZz.

This confusion of form and substance has been established in English literature by Edmund Burke and Thomas Carlyle.

The one beheld the orgiei of a mob insulting a beautiful Queen and tearing off in frenzy the bandages which despotism had bound upon the eyes of a great nation. The eloquence with which an elevated and chivalrous nature expresses its personal horror became a gospel foi Eng lish thinking races. The pictoral splen dor with which the gruff, but poetic sage of Chelsea received the chronicle of night, lengthened while it illuminated the doctrine of Burke, so thit it still survives in England as the philosophy of conservatism against the irreparable progress of political destiny is the essential impressions received by the American people from the republic of France, or reflected from English mediums whose refraction and exaggeration are due not only to Burke and Carlyle, but to the sense of irritation which it is natural English interpreters of foreign poli tics should feel toward people who have dispensed with the symbols and reve nues of dynasties. Every scene of ex citement in the chamber of deputies is enlarged into an incipient cataclysm. tvery breach ot conventional decorum in the senate is tortured a revelation of impending trouble.

"Would Ameri cans admit these frequtt occurrer.es i in their National congress should be accepted as indicative of their attach ment to the cor.s'.itutioi. It is true that the discipline observed in the house of commons i more rigorous in externals than in any other contemporaneous leg islative body, and that the house of lords is generally perv aded by that austere propriety which is the natural atmosphere of a mortuory chapel. It is true, too, that the French Republic has committed errors, but there is no statesman who will deny that every for ward movement in the htstsry ot popular rights in Great Britain Jhas lagged in the footsteps of France. While the Anglo Saxon may be less volatile in his temper then the Frenchman, and more coiriposed in his manners, the political principles lie in the rockbed of the Gladstone revolution of peace have been borrowed from Republican France, and her younger sister the Republic of the United States, who caught from her lips a hundred years ago the breath of con titutional independence, and whose centennial was just celebrated. In the con tests ot an undoubted congress which characterized the formation of our own constitution and the unsolved problems with which its silence or its ambiguity appeared, the National consciousness should be found the assurance that the Republic of France, envied by monarch ies, and still suffering from maleficent traditions of privilege, will be able to withstand the dangers that may lie ahead of it, has ever borne those that have vainly assailed its life.

The expos ition of 1SS9 is unlike al! its predecessors in certain large respects. The chiefs of these is its emnhasisaf the inherent conservatism of skilled labor, which has pursued its way all over the world, and which seeks under the auspices of the republic of France, an opportunity for taking note of its progress and ot learning the great lessons ot new methods, new means and more economic study of processes, means, appliances and results, for the exposition is a triumph of industry over caste. The United States Is the only government 01 importance which officially participates in it. No diplomat, resident or transitory in Paris, accompanies the President of the republic in the ceremony of inaugu ration. In opening toe ex posit on ot 1S67, the last of the Napoleons had, like the first, a cortege of Kings.

The exhibits of the various European countries were tricked out with petty princelings as their ostensible heads. The brutal theatricalism of chaining full labor to the pageantry cart of ornamental was one of the boasted incidents of the forerunner of the even which was begun to-day with the utmost pomp. WA tree scenic nation, as Carlyle called trie rencn, can tend to a grandiose ceremonial. The burning words which Carlyle wrote in a sneer are to-day veritable in sobriety. In his chapter entitled "Te Feast of rise," it the spleen be ex tracted and the beauty preserved, there lies a marvelous description of Pans as she hailed the greatest of her exposi tions, inaugurated without the trappings of a monarchy, but with far more im- presslveness and enthusiasm than tne article of despotism were able to com-mand from an imperial treasury, and the cooperation of comprehensive and compact diplomacy.

The architecture and municipal con figuration of Paris render it the easiest city ia the world to transform into a vast unified picture, alive with color. Great avenues, colossal arches, numerous and massive bridges, spacious park and squares, mystic monuments and pillars, clean thoroughfares, bracing atmosphere reflecting the sunlight on the limestone, miles of white facades, trees already burgeoned, the winding river turned for a time into a series of lagoons, like prismatic vistas, rush, as one expects to see only in Venice, amid the fine proportion of detail, develpment of its civic character, combine to enable its artists to render a scene of bewildering grandeur, when the national and municipal governments unite with citizens in decking it for national fete. All that Carlvle wrote of it in its eala dress of 1790. is true to-day, but the truth is increased a thousand fold. The suc cess of the undertaking in the face of international coldness or antagonism is, therefore, a vindication of democracy and labor.
