A light breeze was di- recting the fire towards the mountains. It is supposed the fire was started by imprudent fishermen who failed to ex- tinguish their camp fires, At Dequem, about 60 miles further away, a whole side of a mountain was on fire, but a heavy fall of rain some- what diminished the intensity of the blaze.

Winnipeg, June 22. --The condition of the crops, as reviewed in the departmen- tal report issued by the Government of Manitoba this morning, is most gratify- ing. The weather has been perfect, and the moisture is ample in all parts of the Province to carry the grain for a consid- erable time, which almost assures a heavy yield. The fine weather enabled the farmers to increase the acreage ma- terially. The total area under crop is 4,978,630 scree, an increase of 143,813 acres over last year. Of this 4,800,748 acres are under grain, and the balance in mote, the increase in grain being 102,- 280 acres. • Considerably over half of this ie under wheat. (:rain at the pres- ent time indicates the largest crop in the history of sgriculteire in the Cana- dian west. There ie bound to be a shortage of farm help, and even at pres- ent the Government correspondents re- port that 24,842 farm laborers are re- quired ;n the Province as well ae over five thousand female servants. •r• MAN MURDERED.

Berlin, June 22.—The reaulta of the final eleetiona for the Prusaian Diet yesterday make but little change in the forecasts sent out, A feature of the composition of the new house will be the appearance of the Soeiallet members, numbering six and possibly seven as the result of the vote in one of the dim triets has not yet been recorded.
