Omaiia, Neb., October 27. The prairie
Arcs that are now raging' in the
northwestern part of the state, lashed
on by a furions wind, are traveling
with almost lightning-like rapidity and
consuming everything in their track.
Thursday night the blaze was driven
through the central portion of Sheridan
arfd Cherry1- counties and iwthc^Uhek
wero the big Osborne and Spade ranch
es and a number of smaller ones. Yesterday
morning not a vestige of these
ranches remains except the bare and
scorched ground.
Late yesterday afternoon the tire is
reported to have reached Pullman and
the whole country in that neighborhood
is a raging furnace. It is not
known whether any lives are lost or
not but thousands of head of cattle
have perished, l'cople in the track of
the tire tleeing for their lives, leaving
all their property to the mercy of the
flumes.
At Momingford. John Bliss, one of
the men badly burned while lighting
the demon, is reported as dead and others
of the victims dying.
So far as can be learned, the flames
have not jumped the Precmout, K1 Ithorn
and Missouri Valley Black Mills
tracks, btit it is feared that they may
at any time. Little or any damuge
has been done as yet to ruilrgnd property
dn this line. The Burlington, railroad
as yet reports no damage. The
blaze is supposed to have been set by a drunken
man near Mullin but that is
not authentic. So far the ilaines have
traversed a stretch of country over 200
miles in length and seventy miles wide, 1
The last report is from Mecla, where 1
considerable damage was done. At
this plaee the wind turned-south, dri- '
ving the flames to an as yet unvisited 1
country. i

Nkw York, October:',!).?A delegation
of Catholic women of tho eastern half
*of the twelfth congressional district
called upon the headquarters of oue of
tho anti-Tammany associations this
morning for tracts, anti-Tammany literature
and speakers. They are forming
an organization, and will begin
meetings next Tuesday afternoon.
They are strongly in favor of Mr. liofT
for recorder, and are equally opposed
to Recorder Smyth.
The secretary of the delegation said
of it: "We are taking this action not
as citizens, but as Catholics, and women
of Irish birth as a practical protest
against unscrupulous Tammany
men who have been declaring that the
Women's league is an A. P. A. organization,
und that all good Trish Catholics
belonged to Tnuuuauy. Tlfis is nn insult
to us women on the one side and
our church on the other. Most of us
come from the same county in Ireland
where Mr. (iolf was born, and we know

and know he is the right kind of a man
for the place. We don't know \yhere
Smyth comes from and we don't want
to. If there are more like him in that
place they had better stay there and
not come to New York".

Knoxvii.i.k. Tenn., October *27.?For
two years there has existed in Sevier
county a large organization of whitecaps.
They have committed many outrages
on defenseless citizens und especially
women and colored people. Some
weeks ago another gang was organized
in opposition which is known as "blue
Hills." Last night a body of whitecaps
started out to do a man who lives live
miles from Sevierville. It happened
that this man was a "blue bill" ard he
hastily summoned his gang together.
About twenty of them secreted them
selves in a dense thicket of laurel.
Shortly before ny* * 'it they heard the
approach of thy ecaps. As they
approached tin ?ket the "blue
bills" opened fire n Winchesters and
u pitched bat^^Mgcd for several minutes.
Two whitecaps. Laban Lathum
and John Kibble, were killed and several
others injured. The "blue bills"
lost one man, Elithunan Allen, a farmer.
Two or three others of their clique

tuditor yesterday concluded the examnation
of the affairs of the Normal
lark loan association of which the lute
idand'^Urond"
eloped the fact that I'orter was a de'aulter
to the sum of 8.'G.ooo. This defalcation
was admitted by I'orter in a
etter to the inspector employed by the
niditor to make the examination, writen
the day before his sudden death at
.he It rand hotel, in t'ineinnati.
The facts in the case "nave been supDressed
until now, owing to a belief on
;he part of the managers of the association
that the friends and relatives of
I'orter would make good to the association
the amount of his defalcation ruth r
than have the facts become public.
Negotiations in this direction, having
failed, however, it is deemed by the
luditor only proper that the public
should be in possession of the facts.'
The defalcation will not affect the solvency
of the association.

Washixotox, October 29.?Attoney
General Olney yesterday sent to Secretary
Carlisle the following communication:
"I have the honor to acknowledge your
latter of the ISth inst., enclosing- copies
of letter of Governor Tillman, of South
Carolina, to the commission of internal
revenue and of the letter of commission
of internal revenue to yourself
and concluding as follows: 'I have
heretofore, the honor to requst that
you furnish this department with an
opinion ns 10 me course which should
be taken by the otlice of intcrlal revenue
in the event that the state otlicers
of South Carolina seize spirits in the
bonded warehouses in that state.'
To tlie Question of T.inv.
"If the request thus framed is to be
literally construed, it is out of my
power to comply with it. The course
to be pursued by your department, in
the event specified, may invole matters
of fact of which I have no knowledge
and considerations of e "diency upon
which I could not pa*- lent, I as*
sumo, however, th . . is mennt to
he inquired abo\ question of law
arising or sure to arise in the administration
of your department and which
may he thus stated?if the officers of
the state of South Carolina undertake
to cuter a United States bonded Xvurehouse
and do not seize distilled liquors
therein under the dispensary law of
1808, simultaneously tendering to tv
collector of internal revenue any tax
lawfully due on such liquors, is such action
to be acquiesced in as not in conflict
with any laws or rights of the
United States.
"1. The legal status of distilled
liquors in a bonded warehouse of the
United States and under the control of
the collector of internal revenue is
definitely stated and settled by section
014 of the revised statutes of the United
States, which declare that 'all property
taken or detained by ariy officer or
other person under authority of any
and blows followed. Town Marshal
J. W. Thompson tried to stop the fitfht,
when the pistol of one of the combatants
was discharged. The bullet
pierced his heart, killing him instantly.
Several more shots were lired, Cameron
receiving' a wound in the body and
Allison getting a bullet in the groin.
It is thought both will die.

Can lie Taia Only By Distiller.
?inii VJAxtweil-not be held, as has been
lS'.t-l, the taxes due on d'stilled liquors
in a United States bonded warehouse
can be paid only by the distiller.
Whether that bo so or not, a tender of
such taxes by a sheriff or other like
state ofliecr is necessarily ineffectual
as against the statute above quoted,
since it is beyond the power of an internal
revenue collector to accept it,
and thus nullify the provisions and defeat
the poilicj- of a statute which aims
to absolutely exempt such liquors from
the operation of the process of a state
court. Such tender, which, for the
reason stated, the collector Is incompetent
to accept, must be also ineffectual
because no ofliecr of South Carolina
has been given the right or power to
make it?the legislation of South Carolina
not authorized any such tender,
nor providing any fund which can be
used for that purpose.
"The result is that the provisions of
the South Carolinn dispensary law -of
1803 must be regarded as ineffective
and inoperative as against distilled
liquors held in a United States bonded
warehouse under the control of the
collector of internal revenue.

Ukrmn, October 80.?The unexpected
resignation of Chancellor von Cnprivi
and Count zu Eulenbnrg has created a
greater public sensation than any event
since the retirement of Prince llismurck.
All of the newspapers pay high tribute
to the personal qualities of the retiring
chancellor, but none attempts any ex|
planation of the causes of his resignation.
The Vossisehe Xeitung expresses
fear that there is more now at stake
than merely anti-socialist measures.
The Tageblatt says the friends and opponents
of Cnprivi and Eulenburg are
equally astonished. The Cologne (iazette
