KERMIT TO TRAIN FOR HUNT. Going for a Season's Shooting to the Meaaba Range. Oyster, Bay, N. T., Aug. 31.?Ker mit Koonevelt Is to acquire some ex? perience aa a hunter of big game before he goes to the African Jungle with the Prealdent next year. The President, of course, has proven his prowess with the gun and looked many a big four footer in the eyes, and he knows it would be well for his son to undergo some preparatory training as a hunt? er. So Kermlt will leave Sagamore Hill tomorrow morning on his way to visit his father's friend, Jack Greenway, who is in charge of the United States Steel Corporation's oro mines In the Lower Mesaba range. There he and Mr. Greenway will take to the hunting grounds In the Northwest, and from the number of guns and the amount of ammunition the President's son will tske with him It Is evident that he hope* to add to the trophies of his father's skill adorning the walls of the library at Sagamore Hill. Mr. Greenway was with the Roose? velt Rough Riders In Cuba and he and the President became fa>?t friends. It was with Mr. < iron way that the President's eldest n.?n, Theodore, Jr., communicated early this summer on the advisability of taking a position under him und learning the mining business from the bottom In I practl csl way.

Jones yesterday made DUbltfl tile figures' showing the amount of corporation license tax received this year. These figures have been com? piled by Mr. Carlton W. Sawyer, after months of hard work. The publication of the fact that the State will get $83,774 out of this tax recalls quite an achievement on the part of Attorney General Lyon. But for his eprslstence this whole tax might have been lost to South Caro? lina. When Mr. Lyon came into office there was pending In the supreme court a case to test the validity of the act under which this tax had been collected. The case had been argued and represented by Mr. Lyon's prede? cessors and resulted in a defeat to the State, the court being unanimous In Its decision. Mr. Lyon had the court to reopen the case, argued it along other lines and won it, thereby saving the State $83.000 this year alone and probably $100,000 in each succeeding year. BIG TREES THREATENED. Forest Fire Surrounds the Celebrated CalavcTua Group?Citizens are Fighting Flames. Sonora, Cal., Sept. 2.?The Calave raa group of big trees, one of the natural wonders of the world, is in serious danger tonight of destruction by Are. Starting from sparks thrown off by an engine used to haul logs, on Mondsy last, the fire quickly spread to the heavy timber a mile west of the north grove of trees. All the forest rangers in the district quickly gather? ed and they, together with the settlers and many visitors living in the camps around and in the grove and the em? ployes of the Eig Tree hotel, have fought the flames ever since. They have thus far saved the hotel, hut have been unable to prevent the fire gaining headway in a direction that tonight menaced the giant sequoias. "The Mother of the Forest," a great dead hulk at the edge of the forest, Is aflame and like a giant torch Is threatening Its living neighbor. "The Mother" is 327 feet long, with a trunk 78 feet in circumference, and it will take weeks for the flajmes to consume It. The destruction of the big grove would be little short of a calamity. The on'y living specimens of the se? quoias glgantea, or big trees, are those found In California, and there are bit four groups of these, containing many notable trees. Of these the Calave ras grove is probably the most re? markable. The Are on Monday burned the south side of Alpine ridge and a large force of men turned out to fight It. The next morning it broke out in three places and, fanned by a noon time wind, again turned toward the great grove. Soon a bla. ? was seen to break from the top of General Grant, one of the finest of the giant trees. The upper branches of Garfleld, stand? ing near by.js.lso caught Are, and the fire did not Wktn lower down in either of theae treeSj A. J. Whlteslde, owner of the big tree grove and the hotel is packing his belongings preparatory to leaving. People In the vlclnty are much dis? tressed and - have turned out from miles to assist the forest rangers. It Is believed that no one has perished, although deer are Aeelng from the country. It ia reported that a moun? tain lion and a deer were seen run? ning side by side this morning, paying no attention to each other, intent on saving their lives. Stockton, Cal., Sept. 2.?The Are In the Calaveras forests, near the big trees, has taken a direction northward and away from the grove and Is now burning toward the Stanislaus river. The latest report is that the Are-Aght ers will check It before morning. The only big trees attacked by the Are was the fallen trunk of "Mother of the Forest," and that is not himaged. The Are has burned over rn area of four or Ave miles square and tonight the grove seems to be no longer i;i danger. - ej COULD NOT REACH BISHOPVILLE Cornerstone Exercises of New Court House Postponed Indefinitely. Hlshopvllle, Sept. 2.?The corner? stone exercises of the new court house were postponed on account of the high water preventing the grand .mas? ter of the MaaontC order from reach? ing here.

"XO MONEY IX IT."' Negro Boatmen Refused to Reecue Three Negro Women in Imminent Danger of Drowning?White Men, a Little Later. Took Them to Plm e of Safety. There is an instance?it la true anil vouched for, it was referred to yesterday by the Rev. C. T. Walker, the well known negro minister, in one Of his addresses?that was talked over more thoroughly yesterday than any incident of the Hood. Three negro women were In a sub? merged house. They were praying and crying in their distress, wring? ing their hands and appealing to God for help. Their piteous petition un? strung the nerves of all who heard their cries of lament. FinaHy a boat, a big, fine one, the strongest-looking on flood duty, probably, came In sight. The women's cries of anguish became exclamations of Joy. For fear there might be a slip, one of them drew off a white under? skirt and waved it. But that was over-precaution. The boat was pass? ing in easy hailing distance. "Come thk* way?around this way ?you can reach us best by sending the boat in here," one of the women cried. "How much money you got?" "My God!" they cried, "We have no money. It' isn't a matter of money. It is a matter of life and death." "Pull on there, Sam"?and the boatmen sent their boat at fullest possible speed, deserting the help ers creatures, their cries of anguish and fear having redoubled. Five minutes later two white men, manning a boat, came in sight. They saw the predicament of the negresses. it'became necessary for themHo strip, to go into the water, to procure planks and to swim to them to facilitate getting the negresses in the boat. They finally did so, however, laMlng the shivering and frightened women in a place of safety. Names, locality and other data wi'l be given on this narrative.?Augusta Chronicle. VOTE IN VERMONT. Democrats Make Gains Over the Re? publicans. White River Junction, Vt., Sept. I. ?The Repub leans won the election in Vermont today by carrying the State for Lieut. Gov. George H. Prouty of Newport for governor by about 28,000 votes over James E. Burke of Burling? ton, his Democratic opponent The plurality was the smallest on a presi? dential year since 1892, when it was only 17,956, and was fo'lowed by a Democratic national victory, but it was larger than in 1888 and only slightly less than In 1900. There was a falling off In four years of about 8 per cent. In the Republican vote, while the Democratic vote fell off about 2\per cent. The Independence League appear? ed for the first time, and polled about 1,000 votes, while the Prohibition and Socialistic vote remained about the same. An unusually large number of local contests for members of the leg is ature, although bringing out a heavy vote and resulting In Democrat? ic gains In the lower branch of the leg? islature, apparently had no bearing on the gubernatorial fight. As Vermont Is the first State to vote during the presidential campaign there was much interest throughout the country in the size of the Republi? can plurality.

St. Peterburg, 8ept. 2.?A special dispatch received here from Teheran says it is reported from Tabriz that Satar Khan has inflicted a decisive defeat on the troops of the Shah, in which the Government soldiers lost 800 killed and wounded. Civil war is raging anew in Tabriz province. Ain-Ed-Dowleh, the newly appointed Goveror of Tabriz, was killed in the engagement. His son, Nalre-Es-Sul tan, was immediately appointed to succeed him, but before Naire could collect his forces he was attacked a second time by Satar Khan, and in this encounter the casualties were heavy. The fighting is still in prog, ress. The negotiations for a Persian state loan, to be placed in Great Britain, France and Russia, have come to naught, as the Shah refuses European control of the finances of the enmpire.
