Arrives in Capital, Pays -His Respects to President, and Takes Up Af fairs "VVitli Departments. OREGONXAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 16. Congressman Jones, of Washington, arrived in the city today and called at the White House to pay his respects to the President. The Presi dent -was anxious to learn Mr. Jones' at titude toward the Cuban reciprocity treaty, for he recalled that in the last Congress the Washington Congressmen were anijong the most vigorous opponents of reciprocity -with Cuba. Mr. Jones said his personal opinion had not changed, but In view of the resolutions passed "by the State convention indorsing the treaty, he would vote for the resolution. Mr. Jones later took up the case of Bonded Superintendent Lynch, of the Yakima Indian Reservation, who rests under charges of inefficiency and neglect. He had no opportunity to review the case at length, but next week will hold another conference with the Indian office. He maintains that Lynch Is an efficient, honest official, and will Insist upon his retention. The charges, however, and the showing made by Inspector Dickson, are such as to make it very probable that Lynch will be dismissed. At the War Department, Mr. Jones asked that Coast artillery headquarters on Puget Sound be located at Fort Wor den Instead of Fort Flagler. He found the sentiment of army officers against him, but his views will be considered when final decision is rendered by General Young. The people of Port Townsend are anxious to have the headquarters at Fort Worden, as It Is nearer the city than Flagler. MILLER. SPEAKS IX OWX BEHALF. The Ex-Postal Department Attorney Strongly Denies Charge of Fraud. CINCINNATI, Oct. 16 The evidence was concluded and arguments were be gun today in the trial of ex-Assistant Attorney-General Miller, of the Postal Department, and Attorney Johns, for al leged conspiracy to extort a bribe. As six hours were allowed for arguments, and only a half hour was consumed before court adjourned tonight, it is evident that with five and a half hours for ar guments tomorrow, and additional time for the charge of the jury and motions', the case will not go to the jury until to morrow evening. The feature today was the testimony of the two defendants. For the first time during the week, John J. Ryan was not on the stand, but Chief Inspector Coch ran appeared for the third time. After being on the witness stand three hours yesterday, Johns was cross-examined for over an hour today. Ho denied he had told Inspectors VIckery and Fulton, when they were making an investigation at Rockville, that he would talk If he thought nothing would come of it except the dismissal of a clerk In Washington. Most of his evidence today consisted In such denials. 4 Miller was on the witness stand from 11:30 A. M., until 4 P. M., and was gen erally conceded to be an exceptionally strong witness for himself, both In direct and cross-examination. He was cool and deliberate and the court frequently stopped him from arguing his own case, while answering questions. The .stenographic notes taken by Clerk Watson, when concealed In Bristow's of fice during the Robb-Cochran interview with Miller, were again produced, and the witness was closely questioned about the statement that he had sent the deci sion to Ryan and not to Johns, and many other statements differing from subse quent replies. Miller said the notes of Watson were not complete and did not give his responses to Robb and Cochran In full. When Miller was confronted with the stenographic reports of the interviews in the offices of General Bristow and Robb, he said he did not know that Wat son was concealed in a corner at the first interview. He was closely cross examined as to discrepancies in his statements at dlfferentv conferences with Robb and Cochran. The witness stated he would have been much more guarded in his statement at the first conference if he had known everything was being taken down by a stenographer, but he undertook to explain all of his replies at both conferences. He regarded his telegrams and letters to Johns as personal and not as official. Miller said he never asked or learned how Johns got into the Ryan case, and he never received anything from Johns, directly or Indirectly. Committed to Jail for Postal Fraud. WASHINGTON, Oct 16. Leopold J. Stern, the Baltimore contractor, recently Indicted in connection with a postal con tract, appeared in Police Court today. Bond was fixed at $5000 and Stern was committed to jail.

Nevr York Campaign Will Be So Bit ter That Every Man Will Turn Out. NEW YORK, Oct 16. District Attorney Jerome has issued a statement saying: "In a crisis like this no man has a right to put it out of his power on ejec tion day to help the cause that may then seem to him right or to injure one which he thinks should be destroyed. "Political prophecy Is a dangerous Job, but unless I mistake before election day the feeling will be so intense and bitter, not about the persons, but about the things involved In this election, that every decent man will want to vote either to help a cause that he deems Just or to re cord his protest against a cause that has aroused his animosity."

The destruction of the most valuable part of the city by fir occurred this fore noon and ten blocks of business houses and residences are in ashes. The fire was not without its fatalities, three deaths resulting, besides two per sons being perhaps fatally Injured and five slightly so. At H o'clock, when the fire had reached the Pullman saloon, sev eral men were hurt by a wall unexpect edly giving way. Among the Injured was Chief Koehler, who was rendered uncon scious, but later plucklly returned to his duties. At about this same hour J. D. Hansen and Colin McKenzIe were Injured by fall ing walls of the Eagle Dance Hall. Mr. McKenzIe was caught under the heavy timbers and his back was broken. Ho was at once taken to the St Joseph's hospital, where his case was pronounced necessarily fatal. Hansen was fortunate enough to fall on top of the timbers and escaped with an injured head and a bruised body. The other fatalities of the day were at the Mack building, where Charles Rolfs, a one-legged man, who, being unablo to get out, was cremated. Jumped nnd Died. Here the most exciting' Incident of the fire occurred when the flames had com pletely enveloped the doomed structure, the spectators were horrified hy seeing Daniel Webster, a well-known character about town, appear at one of the burning windows. Before a ladder could be raised to his aid he Jumped. When picked up he was unconscious. He was quickly taken to the Emits hospital, where he died, after two hours of suffering. The property loss Is large probably 51,000,000 will not be too high a figure to put upon It with no more than half In surance for the reason that the insurance companies have refused to carry any greater risk on account of the Inflam mable material of which all the build ings In Aberdeen are constructed. Business Men All Lose. Every business man' in the city is a loser, either by fire, water, removal, breakage or loss by theft Not anticipat ing that the flames could get beyond the isti sickness LOSS OF FLESH AND STRENGTH WHICH PUZZLES DOCTORS. Mrs. AUalre Was Failing Every Day, and Her Physicians Could Not Help Her. How many men and women are suffer ing from a debilitating illness for which doctors can And no satisfactory explana tion and which ordinary medicines fall to cure. A recommendation of a change of air is often the result of fruitless experimenting. Many, however, are not able to follow such advice, and others, unfortunately, find no benefit after all their expenso and trouble. This, for a long time, was the experience of Mrs. George Allaire, of No. 4 Knox street, Worcester, "Mass. She says: "I was so greatly run down in health that the doctor who was 'attending me said I would never get well. I was wretchedly ill," she continued. "I had lost so much flesh that I was little more than skin and bones and I was ghastly white. I couldn't eat nor sleep, couldn't work in fact, was so weak that I spent more days in bed than I did out of It I suffered considerable pain in the region of the liver", my stomach was out of order and I was so miserable that I be gan to think the doctor was right "Finally, one day when the doctor was at the house to see me, I told him I was going to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People a trial. 'All right' he said, 'do so. There Is nothing more I can do for you "Imagine my feelings when after tak ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills four weeks I was able to do my washing and Iron ingsomething I had not been able to even attempt for three years. I kept on taking this medicine for a while longer and was entirely cured.

Fire Department's control, many waited until the fire fiend was close upon them and scenes occurred that were pitiful and distressing. The streets were soon strewn and littered with all kinds of ma terial and the excitement was Intensified by the rush and haste of teams and peo ple In every direction. The fire started In the old Mack build ing on Hume street, owned by Oscar L. Craln, and which has been regarded as a firetrap. It was three stories and occu pied by numerous single men, who cooked their own meals on oil stoves. The Police and Fire Departments and the Council have known of its dangerous condition, but no steps were ever taken to lessen the liability. It was in a room on the third story where the flames started, and the interior of the building was a mass of flames when an alarm was sent In. Escaped With. Her Children. The building was leased by Louisa Sel berg, who had just fitted up a good deal of It with new furniture and called It the Arctic House. She got out with her chil dren, barely saving any clothes. From the Mack block the fire spread to the fine new hose house and headquarters of the Fire Department and mattcre began to look exceedingly fierce. Great volumes of flames shot Into the air and the heat became unbearable a block distant. The saloon next to the engine-house was soon blazing and then the flames jumped across the alley to Walker's sa loon and every building in the block bounded by Heron and F and G streets, including Kaufman's famous brick block, melted before the flames. Everybody was getting anxious and word went along every business street to prepare for the worst, and as far up as the Commercial block there were hurried preparations to get out of danger. From the engine-house the fire leaped into the Dabley block, a one-story struc ture, and to the Anderson block, just north. All the buildings In the block bounded by Heron, Hume and G and H streets were soon ablaze. The fire was also playing havoc with the front of stores on the north side of Heron street. No Check to Flames. From Anderson's block the flames jumped to the State Bank, and every store from that corner to Haye3 & Hayes' Bank and all the buildings In the block bounded by Heron, G, Wlshkah and H streets were Included In the loss, In cluding the Central School building. Pfund's fine jewelry store, Fuller's store,' Brecker's grocery, a new billiard parlor. City Council chamber. Wheeler Bros. store, Lucart's candy kitchen, the ex press office.

The fire jumped from the block bound ed by Heron, Wlshkah, I and H streets to the splendid residence of Edward Hul burt, on Wlshkah and I streets. The Opera-House, recently overhauled and Improved, went next, and all the mate rial and buildings of the New Hospital Association. The residence of T. B. Dud ley withstood the flames for a long time, but was later a mas3 of flames. Dynamite Used on Buildings. In order to stop the further progress of the flames dynamite was used In sev eral buildings- on which the flames were advancing. In order to save the fine General hospital of Dr. Smith, as the wind blew directly from the east, the fire was carried In a diagonal way from Heron up to I street, destroying the resi dence of W. B. Mack and permitting the saving of the Zelasko and Commercial blocks, though the goods In all these buildings and as far down as Washing ton avenue were hastily removed. Telephone messages from Hoqulam and Montcsano brought the departments of those cities to the scene and they did effective work after their arrival. To the Hoqulam department Is due the sav ing of the Mason music store. The scenes in every direction were those of excite ment and terror. Bnsiness Men Arc Hopeful. ABERDEEN, WTash., Oct. 16. (Special.) At midnight the disastrous fire which swept our city today has burned itself out and "the Inhabitants are all provided for. There will be no appeal for help as few needy people have lost anything and these can be cared for by the citizens. A revised estimate of the loss places it as between $500,000 and $600,000, with a third Insured. All the business men talk hopefully of rebuilding with stone or brick and will put up temporary quarters until the Council takes some action as to permanent fire limits.
