This morning Mrs. Lawrence was Picked up In the middle of the 'track alioul: two miles north of Hinckley by a relief party from Duluth, who made the trip ou a handcar.

Sept. 2.—Tho town of Hinck ley. seventy-five miles south of St. Paul, on the St. Paul and Duluth rond, with a population of from 1,000 to 1,200, waa wiped out bf existence kist night by forest fires. The smaller town of Mis sion Creek, five in lie* from Hinckley, was also wiped out. The loss of fife la variously estimated at from 100 tb 400, and it Is almost ceruln the loss will be 1200 at least. It will be severs! days be fore the full extent of the disinter la known. All Is confusion among the «ur- vlvora. who are searching for their chil dren. and children searching for Ihelr parents. The death list Increases hour ly. The walls of the railroad round house and a school house are the only parts bf buildings In Hinckley which remain. One of the most thrilling events was the experience of the train which left Duluth at 2 p. m. Saturday for St Paul. It WO* the limited passenger, the best train on the road, and was crowded with p.iasengeni. The smoking forest fires were no dense that lamps were lighted In the cars. When the train came within about a mile of Hinckley the engineer round he oiuld proceed no further, as the people were already fleeing for their Uvea from the town. I>:\ 11. \V.

On through this wierd scene at limited speed, the situa tion growing more alarming at every mile. As the train nt-ared-Hinckley It was discovered that the fire had reached the railroad, but on It sped, the engin eer hoping to pass Hinckley In time to escape the danger. It was not until the train had come within a mile of Hinck ley that the engineer discovered that his train was burning and that It would be impossible to pu,o. The bridge had al ready been consumed with the mills und homes of Hinckley. Here the train was met by a hundred or more fugitives from the burning town. (Mothers car ried In tlielr arms small children, oth ers clinging to their mothers' skirts. Some curried a few household goods nnd others were crying and moaning on ac count of the tosses already sustained. Many were so nearly* exhausted that they could scarcely climb on the train. Nearer and nearer the flames were ap proaching, and finally the engineer wae compelled to reverse Ills lover and run back, leaving behind sebres of unfortu nate ones who had not been able to reach the train—their only available means of escape. Those on board could see many of tihem sink to the ground exhausted and overcome by the terri ble heat, never again to rise. Many came ronning across the fields from small settlements, hoping to escape on the .train, but to be dlaappolned. On rushed the train through the fiery hot breath of tihe pursuing tlames. for a stop would have been fatal to all on board. Asittte weary passengers retraced their steps Sunday morning, some nfoot und Others on handcars, -they, found along 'the side of lake track and M the fields the clir.trivJ remains of it.lose poor unfortunates mretethes wins could not escape, in four mile thirty-four bodies were found, some burned beyond recog nition and diners unaearreil, having died from suffocation. It was a four or five tulle run back to Skunk Lake, which is tittle more than a mudhole, Mae mud and water covering not more than «n acre. The 'train bad gone too. a Snort distance widen rt wusi surround- eded by the Vlevounog tlmmes. Hot bklots of Itamea struck 'the coaches, sekttag fire to 'ahem M 'places and break ing the windows on boUt-sides, .The baggage ear was soon a masa.of Jlamcs, •wiateh streamed buck over the en'd.of 'the engine. saining fire to trio engineer's clothes and scorching his bunds. On eltiner Bide of the engine there was a, stream of tome, but never tor am in stant did Engineer 'Rode much. To re main was certain death to Mo, but , he held out for four mflta toe PEMMen- gers might escape; to have deserted would hive been death to all. Back of him stood bis itrufty fireman, who oc casionally poured mater on him. When Khe heat became unendurable for tihe •fireman be took a d'lp in the wulier •tank from Which be drew the.aupply for 'the engineer’s Shower-bath. At Skunk Da'ke -the engineer bad seaxvely Strength to shut off tihe steam. As he pulled* the lever he sunk to the floor exhausted, burn'in'g and bleeding, the broken glass In 'the dab having cut iblm In a member of pr/acee. Quickly two men rushed to -tho oalb anil bare the form of the brave, berolo engineer to the 'water below Uie embankment. Here bo lay all night covered with mud and d'irty water und dying, o'* most of'the passengers believed. A mile or two fum ithe lake the coaches were burning albove and undenteu'th. On board the passengers became panic- stricken and '« .was only by force thut •many of tihe weaker oho3 were pre vented from springing out the broken windows or rusnlng oult 'the doors. To prevent this men guarded She doors. Scarcely a. soul on bouud bad any hope of escaping, not knowing at wl.ltt mo ment the burning kiuln wduld Jump the track of m e Into a bed of hot coals. At Skunk Lake sixty more men, women and children found refuge In the Shal low waiter and dirty mud, the women walking out In the waiter unkf) It reached tlhelr walats and with their bands klitey bibbed their burning Sacra In mud. Many of them were seriously burned on the train.

One mother was found nursing her suckling child to pravertt It being aufto-. cated. This place was reached some time near 0 o'clock, arid 'the men tried to get to Hinckley. The rails had been ■o badly warped thait nothing but a handcar couid be run. Between Skunk Lake and Hinckley twenty-nine bodies were counted aaul Severn I more were found near 'oho lake.

Brunowlle. leader of the Independent Social Democrats, is stirring bid moon among tho Socialist regular#*, prepara tory to the national congress next month. At a meeting of the Independ ents In Kiel on Friday he denounced the old loaders for practicing a system of terrorism In their party. They had be come tyrannical dictators, ho said, no longer in touch with the InttUfctual and spiritual movement which vitalized Ger man Social Democracy. There was not now a breath of freedom In the party; militarism had been introduced by the central committee, who had tronsfonn- cd the whole body of Socialists under their leadership into a political machine. Brunowflle named several Socialist Democrat agitators who had been boy cotted ami suppressed by the central authority because they did a little Inde pendent thinking. Tl^ Vorwnerts, or gan of the central committee, denies Brunowlllc’s statements and denounces him a* a promoter of dlucbrd. It says that the success of .the Social Democra cy haa been due largely to the obe dience of tho rank and Die to their trusted leaders. •Kmperor William went to Chartotten* burg today to attend the consecration of tho nerfv marble sarcophagus erected to the memory of <Bmperor William 1.

They had spent thousands of marks for decoratlon-f und had taken a general holiday mo aa to give a fitting Wtltibme to him. Somehow no notice of the preparations was given the »mepcr- or. Aa *voon as he learned of them he sent s messenger to Frankfort to ex plain his regret and promise to visit In state In the nenr future. For the first time since Frederick William II. died there was a concert In the .S(itM-S*oucl.V palace on Friday. The programme had been prepared un der the emperor's special supervision. All the artists wore costumes of Fred erick the Greet period. The furniture and plate and attire of the guests were similar. The rooms were lighted only with candles. Sever.il compositions for the flute were performed. That) who were present say the scene was unique beyond description, especially when the emperor stepped out before the orches tra and directed It. which he did sev eral times. The Catholic congress In Cologne ended on Friday after adopting Count yon Precfnge’s motion that the next congress meet in Munich. A letter from the pope was read at the open ing of tbe congress. It urged thus tbe special consideration of social ques tions: "It cannot have escaped the no- lice of German Catholic* that religion and society have fallen into a sad con dition. Socialistic and other fallacious theories have obtained a firm bold on many minds, engendering Wtttr strife to such an extent that the public peace Ls endangered. Cathqllcs ought there- 1-1'-' i" ivnit iiiber tbe blessings gamed for their religion/ and fatherland through unity and ao refrain from Jeop ardizing their strength through any sign of discord." The congress presented no feature of notable interest, dt waa the same old story about restoring the pope's tem- pomi power, repealing the laws agalu»t the Jesuits and extending clerical con- ttbl over the echools. The fnoat nota ble incident arose from the discussion of the agrarian question. Freiherr von tichorlemer-Alat, once leader of the aris tocratic wing of the clerical party, an nounced that hereafter be would op pose all legislation which should have the appearance of favoring a particular cld*3. True Catholicism, he said, was democratic and know no class Interest. Uls declaration led to much excited talk outisldo the congress. The agra rian members objected to such surren der of an important part of the Cen tre’s programme, but none of them ven tured to oppose Schbrlemer-Alat pub licly. Dr. Oterero, leader of the Bavarian Catholics and chairman of the congress, showed plainly hia sympathy with the untl-agwrian feeling of some of the del egates. Keprusentatlveq of German sugar In terest* met yesterday in Krolls Garden und resolved to form a protective union. They voted also that the union should adopt such measures as would save tho beet augur industry of Germany and al lied Industries from killing competition or hostile legislation.

In this memorable speech the ex-premier de nounced the house of lords and advised tho people to Insist upon the abolition of the veto power of the upper body as the only serious hindrance to the granting of a full measure of home rule to Ireland. But Lord Rosebery's first session of par. llament has been finished without a sign of the government's 'mention of pushing this part of the programme, and It Is nota ble that Mr. Gladstone's mediator In the 100 pounds contribution, Lord Tweedmouth Is the mly member of the cabinet who ad vises the government party to make an ami-lordp campaign beforu the country. Lord Rosebery Iras gone to Dunrobin, Bootlnnd, to Join the duke of Sutherland in a shooting party, which, by the way, consists almost entirely of Tory peers. Lord Rosebery still encourages his fol lowers to regard him as a man of mys tery. He hus suddenly vanished when ever parliament has adjourned and upon the occasion of the recent adjournment ho quickly disappeared, allowing tho pa pers to publish tho statement that he had gone to Switzerland to recuperate, though nobody was awuro that hts health was in the slightest degree Impaired. It appears' that he reallly went to Versailles, but ho reappeared In London two days later and started Immediately for Dunrobin, break ing hi* Journey at Collodon for the pur pose of taking his two little sons to visit' the graves of tho highlanders who fell . flgii'iiiK for Prince rii.irhw. Tho personal friends of tho premier find him in high spirits, but he flatly declines to (IIhcuss or to listen to anything In the shnp^of 1>alltlcB. Ho only laughs when he hears his followers threaten disaffec tion and In every way he appears to re gard himself ns thoroughly tho master o£ the situation. Tho other members of the cabinet, how- over, aro not so merry at tho prospect which confronts'them. They aro able to sec plainly that It Is tho Intention of tho labsr and Irlfdi parties to go Into open re volt during the autumn. In tho mean time It Is equally certain that tho Lnbqu-.^, chere section qf the Itndlcais will carry out their Intention of running parliament ta<*y cundldntoM whoso first pledges will be to refuse to serve under a premier who 1s a peer. Tho labor party, with a vlow that they do not Intend to serve tho Liber al party through thick and thin as here tofore, are arranging to run Tom Mann, tho‘labor agitator, against tho Liberal, Fenwick, ns a candlduto for secretary of tho trades union congress. During tho coming week the queen In tends to eelebnato the birth of the son of the duke and duchess of York by a great family gathering at Balmoral, at which, besides tho Immediate relations of the • royal family, Prince Henry of Prussia will represent the emperor of Germany and tho czarowltz will bo present on be half of the czar. Tho gathering will last several days and will bo reploto with ap propriate festivities.
