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.
