The loss will reach $372,000, much of which ia not covered by insur ance. There wa. no loss of life. One fireman was hurt, but not fatally. It was 10:50 when the alarm waa turned in, and before the tret engine company could reach the foundry of tha Phoenix Iron Works, formerly the Wolff 4 Zwicker plant, the roof waa ablaze, and the dry timber, were carrying the fire in every direction. The wretched water facilitiay along the street, and the absence) of any mean to take tbe en gine to the river, which waa directly beneath the roadway, made it impos sible to do much more than spit at the fire with few 30 foot streams, and in less than a half hour the iron works were in the center of a rapidly widen ing zone of flame, which soon extended south beyond Jefferson street, and almost to the Troy Laundry Company, near hast Yamhill. Every building in the district wa. either leveled to tbe ground or left a ciumbling ruin. READ THE RIOT ACT. Excithtg DimotutratlM at a Last Creek Calllery. Shenandoah, Pa., June 24.

West Point to Civ Initractloir to a Cadet from Cotta Rka-r Salaries ef Post office Clerks to Be ClaMifled Several Other BUI Pasted, Washington, June 25. When the senate convened yesterday a - partial report on the naval appropriation bill was presented and agieed to. Tbe senate insisted upon tbe amendments still in disagreement and asked for further conference. A joint resolution waa adopted au thorizing tiie secretary of war to receive Arturo K. Calvo, of Costa Rieo. at the West Point military academy for in struction. The army appropriation bill wa. laid before the senate and Proctor moved to recede from amendment 13, relating to the construction of barracks at per manent military posts. After some discussion the motion waa agreed to. Allison called attention to the fact that the house had not agreed to the fall and free conference asked for by the senate, the effect of the action of the house being to eliminate entirely at least two amendments of the senate. Proctor moved that the senate insist on tbe other amendmenta. After some discussion tbe motion wa. agreed to, amended so aa to insist upon the senate amendments, including No. 14. A bill waa passed for the classifica tion of salaries of clerks employed in poatofficea for the first and second class. Quay then formally - entered bis motion to dismiss the committee on territories from farther consideration of the bill to admit aa states the 'terri tories of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. He kmade an argument in support of the motion, urging that in making it be had , no motive to . em barrass the committee on territories. He cited several instances in which the senate baa acted anon similar motions. He said that five of the 11 members of the committee desired to be discharged from further considera tion of the bill and pointed out that both the Republican and Democratic parties in their national 'platforms had declared in favor of the admiasion of tbe territories as states. Quay then presented statistics con cerning the three territories affected by tne Dili, snowing that tbey are remark ably well equipped to become atates. Eeveridge, chairman of the commit tee on territories, said tbe subject has gone over until tbe next session, when it is to be taken up early and fullv conaidered. In answer to inquiries to Quay, Beveridge said the bill haa not been considered by the committee; that it ha. been before the committee only five weeka. At 2 o'clock, the unfinished business the house bill to ratify tbe agreement with the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of Indiana, waa laid before the senate. The senate then concurred in the bouse amendmenta to the bill fixing tbe pay of the superintendent of the various lighthouse districts. ' Tbe following bills were passed: Providing for the resurvey of certain townships in San Diego county, Cali fornia; to provide for a record of deeds and other conveyances and instruments in writing in Indian Territory; to pay Captain F. J. Mclndoe, Corps of En gineers, $1,142 for personal property destroyed.at Fort Hancock in 1901 ; to amend existing lawa relating to the disposition of lands in Oklahoma, so that the secretary of tbe interior may be authorized to cause to be expended out of the proceeds of the sales of town lots in Law ton, Anadarko and Hobart, Okla., for the construction of water works, sshool houses and other im provements, $150,000 forLawton, $60, 000. for Anadarko and $50,000 for Hobart, and to increase the amount authorized to be expended for a court house in each of the places named $10, 000, to $30,000. Without completing the Indian treaty measure, the senate at 5:55 P. M., went into executive session and soon afterward adjourned. TWO TRAINMEN KILLED. .

Itie passen gers injured were attended by surgeons brought to tbe scene of tbe accident on a wrecking train, and all were able to continue their journej .

Tbe sleeing earn also left the track, but did not overturn. The in jured mail clerks were brought to the bt. Paul hospital while the otbera were taken to Minneapolis for treatment.

President b Determined to Kelp Cuba and Keep Promiaes of Uaited State. Washington, June 21. The presi dent last pight gave dinner to about doaen leading Republican senators favorable to Cuban reciprocity and dis cussed with them the ways sud means of securing a reduction of duty on Cuban products in order that the pledges made to Cuba may be re deemed. . Tbe president is firm and steadfast in his determination that in some form or othei and at the earliest oppor tunity there shall be secured to the ! new republic of Cub) substantial re duction of the import tariff on her ex ports to the United States and that their people may feel that this country has kept every promiee made them and has done all that could be fairly expected to assure tbe permanenc and prosperity of their newly established government. However, when the re sult will be obtained ia a matter that the president must leave to future de velopments, but it can be stated by authority that tbe administration will continue unflinching in it endeavors until it accomplishes Cuban reciprocity in some form or other. It baa not been definitely decided whether this can be brought about earlier by bill or by a treaty, nor whether good judg ment and sound policy reqnlr? that tbe matter go oer for a time. The meth ods and opportunities were canvassed carefully tonight. Tbe president will not content himself with shelving the question, now that he baa urged the matter on congress in a special mes sage, but will take such further steps as may be calculated to tecure tha re duction he hag urged. Whether there will be an extra session or not, and if so, when it shall be convoked, is alto- gather problematical. : COST OF PHILIPPINE WAR. On Huadred and Seventy Millions Have Been Expended.

All Men la Union Pacific Shops Called Out 300 Men Will Obey. , Omaha, June 21. The boilermakers of the entire- Union Pacifio svstem were today called on by the Boiler makers' Union to strike. About 300 men are expected to obey tbe order. There are less than 50 men employed in the local shops, but the entire num ber quit work today. - The strike la ordered in connection with a combina tion of labor troubles, in which the re cent closing of the iron-molding depart ment of the road figures, and several of the leaders stated today that it might result in strikes in other departments. Local officers of the Ironmouldera' anion were notified Sunday that work had been stopped at Chicago on the Union Pacific patterns, and this fact makes the condition more complicated. Officers of the road aa well as the labor leaders were reticent on the subject and both refuse to discuss the matter. It is known, however, that tbe demands of tbe men ; for an increase of wages and reduction of hours are insignificant and do not figure materially in the causes for the strike. Through a Trestle.

A strong sentiment for a canal will in duce member to support a motion to concur in the senate amendment rather than to prolong the fight. There is quite widespread belief that the Pan ama route was adopted in order to kill any canal, and that a strong fight by the house in favor of Nicaragua would put tbe conference over until the short session, and this is just what the anti- canal people desire. In order to head off tbia movement, it is probable that after the conferees have met a disa greement will be reported to the house, and someone will move to concur in tbe senate amendment. By the un usual coarse taken tbe paper, in the case will be in possession of the booae. and in case the conferees disagree will go back to tbe house first. This was probably done with the very idea in view that, ahould a disagreemei t ever be reported in the senate, the anti- canal senators might be able to prevent ' a vote at this session and tie tbe bill up. The Republican representatives in tbe house do not want to return to their constituents without having en acted canal legislation, and they feel that they will be aafe in accepting the Panama route, in view of the report of the canal commission, especially a. the Spooner bill provides-for the Nicaragua canal if Panama negotiationa fail. Tbe two Oregon representatives, like Senator Mitchell, believe that every proper mean, should be taken to secure the adoption of the Nicaragua canal bill at thia session, bat if it is shown beyond question 'that that cannot be done, they think tbe opportunity now presented should not be lost, and that the Spooner substitute should be ac cepted by the house rather than bave no canal. They both assert that further delay should be avoided if pos sible, and if tbe conferees, after honest effort, find that tbey cannot- secure the adoption of the house bill, the senate amendmenta should be accepted. , CAUGHT IN ICE-PACK. Stcancr Portland Drifting Through Berhing Straits to Arctic Nome, June 7, via Seattle. June 23. The steamer Portland, the pioneer of the northern Commercial Company's fleet, was June 4 caught in the ice pack and being carried np Behring straits to the Arctic ocean at the rate of from two to three miles an hour. The Nome 1 City came near being caught in the -same manner, and when she found a lead and bncked through the pack to the westward, tbe Portland could be plainly seen drifting northward past v the Diomede islanda. Three wbalera -Were also in sight, but they were in the lee of the Diomedea arid in no danger of being carried into the Arctic by the Moating pack. When Captain Daniel brought the, word to Nome that the Portland waa fast in the ice and drifting toward the Arctic, the Northern Commercial Com pany and people having friends aboard were greatly worried, and a. soon aa the Thetis arrived, a petition wa. signed and presented to Captain Healy, requesting him to go to the relief of the Portland. The Thetis left the same evening, and if any one can render the imprisoned ship any assistance, Cap tain Healy is that man. ' There is some danger of the ship , being crushed in the straits. If she got through the straits and failed to find a lead to . the eastward or west ward, by which she could get clear of the pack, she wlil be carried into the Arctic ocean, and failing to get clear of tne ice, may ultimately be wrecked by heavy floes farther north. In the event of ber net getting crushed, she will be greatly delayed, and no doubt run short of supplies and fresh water. HEAD-ON COLLISION. .
