Meagre reports from the vast district in the central part of Michigan show that that section was the scene of devastating fore9t fires for three days. These reports more than confirm the wont fears, and show a widespread line of disaster not equalled 9ince the great wood fires of 1871. The fires burned down the telegraph lines, made railroading daDgerous, and wiped out barns, houses, stores, churches, and mills, with millions upon millions of feet of lumber and logs. A smart gale swept the names about at will. The line of flames reached almost without a break from Macon Count}', on Lake Michigan, to Iosco County, on Lake Huron, with the forests of Lake Osceola, Clare, Gladwin, Ogemaw and Alcona, where General Alger owns large interests, all ablaze. Another fire of scarcely less magnitude existed in the Upper Peninsula. The incline of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad through Marquette. Houghton, Baraga and Ontanagon Counties was in the path of the flames. Two railroad bridges were burned on that line, and the telegraph lines are in bad shape.

Disaster Overtakes a Crew of Seventy Men. A dispatch from Condersport,Perm., says: The pretty little- lumber and farming towns of Austin, CosteJlo, Galeton, and Moore's n,un are o.-^ne verge or a panic, two especially being threatened with annihilation from fires that seem to form an impenetrable wall on every side. For several days and nights the skies have b^en lighted with fires in almost every direction. Farmers and lumber camps have suffered most heretofore, but ncxv the fierce and snaky lines of flame have crept steadily toward the towns until they are in great danger, and every possible effort is b9inj made to save them. At Moore's Run. on t ie picturesque Sinnemahouing road, a train load of saventy-fivd milling men sent from Austin had* bo3.i fighting back the fire with every means at their command. They made trenches, piled up earth, and lighted back fires, but ware finally obliged to retreat. The men hastily boarded the train aud started to make a run to another point, when it was found they wera hemmed m by the forest on one side and a huge skidway of logs on the other. It was decided to dash past the burning skidway, and the engineer and fireman with faces covered with dampened cloths, and their hands and arms wrapped in wool, mounted the little engine. and pulled out through the wall of fire. The seventy-live exhausted men gathered in groups on the flat cars for protection, or lay on their faces on the floor. As the blazing furnace of logs was approached the heat became unbearable and tne smoke so blinding and stifling that the men were obliged to cover their faces with cloths. The engineer had forgotten that such great heat would spread the rails, and he pulled the throttle wide open in the hope of sooner escaping from the torments of heat and smoke. There was a lurch, an ominous heaving, and a shriek as the train toppled over into the fire. The cars caught fire as so many cigar boxes would, and the men within them, half blinded and scarcely realizing anything except that they were being slowly roasted to death, struggled desperately back upon the track, where only for the time at least safely laj". Those uninjured from the wreck and only smarting from the pain of intense heat turned tneir burned hands to aid their more mf/Mtfiinota falIAWC uuivi buuavo &v?v ?? | Superintendent Badger, of the Sinnetuahoning Valley road, was in charge of the r? lief train that had worked the hardest of all. | "When the train was ditched he must have beeu injured so as to be unable to help himself. Owing to the smoke and panic he waa not found until too late?fastened down in the wreck he had evidently slowly roasted to death. Six others also peris&ed, and thirty others of the party were badly burned, many probably fatally, owing to their inhaling the flames. Seven others are missing, and their fate is yet unknown, though their bodies are probably among the charred remnants of the train and logs. ! Relief parties started for the scene as soon as the news was known, many relatives of tbe missing men insisting t pon accompanying the train. Owing to tne great devastation, communication is badly interrupted. A? tnthp damage, it is known that 40,000. 000 feet of hemlock logs and timber and 25. 000 cords of valuable bark have already been destroyed, anO'the fires are still raging without any appreciable diminution. A million beacon lights seem burning from every mountain and hillside, and the air is so oppressive that many workers faint from exhaustion, and have to b3 dragged away. The fires have been raging for forty-eight hours, and twelve miles o? lumber territory have already been burned. CZABEVIT0H ATTACKED, Russia's Crown-Prince Wounded it Japan. CZAREVITCH OF RUSSIA. A dispatch received from Tokio, the capital of Jhpan, announces that aa attempt has been made on the life of the Czarevitch, the heir to the Russian throne. Although he was seriously wounded, he is considered to be out of danger. The scene of the attempted assassination was at Kioto (now officially called Saikio) or ' western capital," the former capital of Japan, on th<s island of Hondo, twenty-seven miles by rail northeast of Osaka ana about two hundred and fifty mile3 southwest of Tokio. The Czarevitch had gone to a picturesque resort known as Otsu, on Lake Biwaumi, six miles from Kioto. There a native policeman, named Tsuda Sanzo, struck the Czarevitch on the head with a sword with intent to murder him, but owing to the toughness and thicknf f-hA r!zAravifcrirs sun ha!mat: th? wound inflicted by the sword was not serious. The injurj is described i\s s sword cut on the side of the forehead. The Czarevitch and party immediately returned to Kioto, and there obtained skilful surgical assistance. It is believed that the culprit is insane, or that brooding over fancied wrougs he was tempted to commit the deed by the presence of the illustrious guest. The Emperor and Ministers hurried to Kioto to express their concern and sympathy. The Czarevitch, who was born in 1803, had been traveling in India and China for some time, and had recently returned to Hong Kong from Canton, and started for Foo P.lmw anrl Hon TTnw. A ftar Ipaviiit Hhinfl the Czarevitch started for Japan and expected, according to the route mappad out for nitn, to reach Vladivostock at the end of May. HONDURANIAN REBELS.

Barnum's mo9t 3uccesa ful traits of bamboozlement," said a Ne^ Yorker the other day, " was played upo: the Canadian customs authorities. Th veteran showman's tours were alway planned for in advance, and one winte he made up his mind to take his grea circus and menagerie through Canad during the summer after the next. Thi gave him about two years in which to ma turc his plans. One important item of ; showman's expenses consists of his adver tising placards, and Mr. Barnum wa i flltvnra lnmsn with these r*audv nrints He was aware that the Canadian Govern ment imposed a high duty on this clas of imports, and yet he wanted to pain Canada red, yellow, blue and green with a lavishness that no showman hac ever displayed there before. "Now there was no printing-housf anywhere in Cauada that could begin ti turn out the kind of work that Mr. Bar num required, either in size, color o finish. Nevertheless, his immense post ers came under the same classification a much smaller lithographs and printer colored matter did, and he knew tha the Dominion customs authorities wouk not abate one jot of the full toll, bu would rather rejoice at the opportuuit; to mulct the foreigner why would conve] so much mooey out of a country wheri money is badly needed. " So Barnum studied the questioi awhile and finally sent on at once a grea lot of circus posters of the most gorge ous designs, whereon yellow lions clawec striped tigers and brown bears fough with blue hippopotami till the gore tlowei into blue crimson backgrounds. N< agent appeared, when the posters wen detained by the Canadian customs officer to pay the duty.
