People in the Settlements Are Alarmed
at Their Approach.
A despatch from Fort William
Bays : 'When the sun trent down on
Wednesday night it looked as
thuugh it was making a plunge into
a mass of flames. All night the
Bouch -eastern heavens showed red
and some people here declare that
ashes and cinders were carried
through the air, coming from either
the stricken settlements on the
south shorn or from the burning
districts in the Whitefish Valley.
For the last week there have
come stories of burning forests.
The whole south side of Mount Mc-
Kay has been burned over and on
Wednesday morning a telephone
message from Hyman says that the
people of that settlement are very
uneasy. Only a few miles south of
them the fires are burning and one
settler has already been burned
Gut. In the unsettled portions of
Gillies and Scottie small fires arc
burning, but there is no possible
way to check them except a heavy
rainfall. The fire back of the moun-
tain is in the Township of Pai-
poonge, but up to the present has
rot reached any of the settlements.
SOLID WALL OF FIRE.
A solid wall of flames twenty-five
miles in length is said to stretch
frau Grand Mariao to Chicago Bay
on the international boundary line.
The Pigeon River Lumber Com-
pany's camp at Chicago Bay is said
t:' be destroyed. The flames are
ram approaching close to Hyrners
on the Gunflint branch of the Ca-
readian Northern and the settlers
are said to be very anxious. The
flames arc devouring everything in
the White Fish Valley. There is a
bad fire at Silver Mountain and
Gunflint. Two Pigeon River lum-
ber chips on the International
l,c►undary are destroyed. The fire
in the Indian reserve is still burn-
ing, but the Indians have it in
check. There is another large fire
burning on Thunder Cape, near
Silver Island.
WORKMEN PLED FOR BRE
Twenty-five Thousand Uuemployed in
Glasgow Streets.
A despatch from Glasgow, Scot-
land, says: A remarkable scene
was witnessed at the offices of the
City Council on Thursday after-
noon. Crowds of the unemployed
gathered in George Square before
the Council convened, and a dele-
gation of twelve was admitted to
the meeting. The Councillors re-
ceived the delegation by rising from
their scats. The spokesman of the
unemployed said that never before
had there been such distress in
Glasgow.
"Every human unit," said this
man, "is entitled to food. We make
no outrageous request; we are only
here to plead for the souls of sten
and women. They demand work."
The Chamberlain of the city re-
plied with deep emotion. He said
the Council had received the dele-
gation in a spirit of brotherhood,
and that it would do all in its pow-
er to help those who needed work.
