About 400 government clerki were in the buildinit at the time, and a great long o( life is feared. The first floor tollaimod throuith weukiiean tauwl hy exea vatinif the cellar, and In its fall carried down three floors, and with them the hundred, of clerks. The dead and wounded are being taken out rapidly by the fireman and police. All the ambulances in the city have been summoned, and the rescued are being conveyed to the iioepiUl. It ia feared 100 eople have been killed. The scene, are terrible. Some jumped from the third floor. The walls are atill standing, but every floor ia down and every window blown out The building haa been condemned as tin wife for some time, but sentiment kept it unchanged. The floors were heavily loaded with record, of the record and nmon divi sion, of the war department. The clerk, employe 1 there were all men. KKAHI.Y EVKHY ONI I.ULRKD. There ore over 400 clerks in the buili!iii(. Scarcely one escaped more or lea. injury. Twenly-eiyht were taken from the ruins up to 10:15 a. in. The Oiuergi-liry licutul is crowded with the dead and injured. The injuries, from the nature of the affair, are very severe, there being cru-ln d and broken limbs and internal injuriea. Thouniuids sur round the ecetie and tho excitement has spread all over the city. Corrected accounts as to the cauae of the accident are now partially obtain able. The excavations which were the immediate caune of the colliipse were lieing made at tho instance of the war department for the purpose of putting in an elect lie liht plant. A. already stated, the initt-eniity of tho building haa been repeatedly reported for a lung time past. Whenever a heavily loaded waon has gone by the building seemed to sway backward and forward, as clerk, describe the sensation. When the first rumbling warning of the col lapse came, the clerks on the third floor to the number of 80 or 10(1 rushed to the windows and jumped for the roofs of the small buildings adjoining on the northwest eide. Many escaiied in this way. TAKINU OCT TIIK DKAD AND ISJI RKI). The ambulances were kept bimy carry ing away the dead and injured. The face, of many of the victims were covered wiih pieces of cloth, an old coat, newspaper or whatever else could be had. Somu of the mangled bodies were cairied out with the faces expoeed to the gaze of the great throng surrounding the building. All during the long hours while the woikmen were working with all their etrength to resi.ue such as were not pant help, mothers, sinters, and daughters hovered around in front of the building, and, with streaming eyes, imiuircd of all whom they met of some tidings of their dead ones. Some could scarcely lie restrained from pushing their way into the building. A glance into the interior told the sickening tale of how some were taken. l)enks were seen half toppling over tho brink of a broken floor, others stood upright, but the chair which stood beside it and its occupant went down with the crash. Records and papers were scattered everywhere, but as fust as possible they were gathered up and saved. Many of them were spotted with blood. That anyone should escape with his life seems a mimclu. As they were brought forth they presented a sjiectacle that no one seeing it will ever forget. In many cases till semblance to humanity was gone. It really seemed as if tho helpers were carrying out a mere bag of matter smeared all oyer with blood and filthy with dirt. The dirt was ground into them, and blood was on their faces. A CITY OF Fl'NKUALS. Wasuinoton, Juno 11, The remains of the victims of the horrible wreck 0 Ford's theater have nearly all been dis posed of. Washington was today a city of funerals, and all day long mourners have been about the streets, Kvery one knew what the sad processions meant, albeit unexpressed in many cases to the sorrowing ones. Inquiry confirms the statement that none of the victims were men of property. Most of them lived on their salaries, which furnished a means of livelihood, but left little for a day like this. Most of them were nmrriec, and some had large families, who are now left il not entirely dependent upon friends and relatives, at least lacking in funds for immediate use. Flghtlug Striker. In Illtnoli. Lamont, 111., June 9. Deputy sheriffs with Winchester rifles and armed mobs of strikers met at Lamont today, and the first week of the strike in the quarries and on the drainage canal closed with copious shedding of blood. The conflict came this afternoon, and as the result of a volley of shots one man was killed out right and two have died since. Two others are reported missing . They are said to have fallen into the canal afer re ceiving mortal wounds. Fourteen others were wounded, three fatally. The three men killed are unknown. Early in the morning men began to gather in the streets to discuss the situation. As the morning wore on the crowd increased. At ten o'clock the men formed a pro session and be;;an to march. When near Hrnith A Jackson's camp the men took the towpath along the canal and marched by twos. Along this route they were shielded from view by the trees. It was the intention of the strikers, on arriving at the different camps, to drive out the workmen as they had done be fore. The men in the camps, however, had fortified themselves, and had arms and ammunition. When the conflicting factions were about 250 yards apart, fir ing suddenly began. Reports vary as to which side fiired first, but there is no question that the strikers were badly worsted. When those not killed or wounded took to flight they were in the wildest confusion. As they ran to con ceal themselves behind trees and in the thicket., they carried many of their wounded with them, but the others were left behind. One of the leaders of the rioteri was left lying where fell, with a bullet hole in his temple. f ropoitd BiWer Legiilition. Washington. June 12 The Star today has (his: "Information coming from silver sources makes it probable that there will be comparatively little trou ble to pass a bill through the house to repeal the Sherman silver law soon af ter congress meets. How things will stand in the senate is another story, I but it will probably be found that the finance committee will have a majority for the repeal of the present law. The reason given by some of those who will drop from the ranks of the radical sil ver men is that in the light of the pres ent financial situation many of their peoplb. without yielding their convic tions on the silver question, are willing the Stierman law should be repealed at once, leaving the question of future coinage of silver open. How far this is the result of the distribution or with holding of patronage by Cleveland, may be left for inference, but it is certain Cleveland lias not lost sight of this issue in dealing with statesmen who have been making pilgrimages to the White House. The Fair Opts oi Sunday Chicago, June 11. This morning the outlook In Jackson Park for a successfull open Sunday was not promising, as there wag a heavy fog and the air was raw and chilly. Toward noon the fog dis appeared and the sun came out bright and warm. Then the people bagan to come, and by 3 o'clock 80,000 people were on the grounds. It was a different crowd from the previous Sunday. The workingmen and their families did not predominate. Thousands of tourists and pleasure-seekers were there. The feature of the day was the ascension of the captive baloon. Thousands gathered around it, but as only 15 could make the the trip, many went away dis appointed. The monister Ferris wheel, which rises 250 feet in the air, was also set in motion, but no passengers were taken. Fargo 8wept by Flame.. Fargo, N. 1)., June 8. The Exact fig ures of last night's big tire are not yet obtainable. Nearly three thousand people are homeless, and as many more out of work. All the hotels except "Headquarters," all the banks except the First National, all the grocery stores exept two. all the secret society halls all the niuchienery warehous.es, except Walter A. Woods and the monitor drill, are destroyed. Fire companies are here from Grand Forks, Jamestown, Caseel ton and other neighboring towns, but the flames are stiU burning fiercely. The fire made a clean sweep twelve blocks long, and five blocks wide, and at least half the business part of the city is in ruins. The Great Northern trestle burned and the flames blocked trallic on the Northern Pacific. The Western Union building is destroyed and tele graphic wires are badly demoralized. Fire at Oakland. Oakland, Ore., June 10. A fire started here in a saloon about 1 o'clock this morning, and in two hours caused a loss of $69,000. There was no adequate means of fighting the flames.

Reduced Freight Rab-s-Wlll Meet la Oregon la nt In Pas senger Bates. Visalia, Cat., June 12. At last a meet ing between the officers and the notori ous outlaws, Evans and Son'ag, has taken place in this county, in which the odds were not in favor of the train rob bers. The encounter took place last evening, six miles west of Wilcox can yon, in the Sierra foothills, about 20 miles from Visalia In this fight one of the officers was wounded in the leg and brought to this place, and is now hav ing his wounds dressed. Fred Jackson, an officer from NevaJa county, is the wounded man. He had been in the mountains for several days with United! States Marshal Gard and Deputy Sher iff H. Rapelje, of Fresno county, bunt ing for the bandits. Tbey were accom panied by Tom Burns, who was with Black when he was shot at Camp Bad ger. Wearied with their tramping about the mountains, they passed San day in a vacant cabin in the locality men tioned, and slept in the greater part nf the time. A little before sunset Rapelje ob served through the rear door the outlaws coming toward the house from a hill bark of the place. Evans was in the lead with a rifle and shotgun, and Sontag carried a rifle only Burns and Gard were still asleep. They were at once awakened, all seized their firearm, and prepared for a fight. Evans saw Rapelje and at once opened fire with bis Win chester. Jackson fired next, and Evans) was seen to throw up his hands and fall backward. A RAPID Fl'SILADE. By this time all were in position to fire, and a rapid fusilade kept up. Son tag dropped behind a rnbbi-h pile and re turned fire with vigor. He could not be seen and only his firing showed his posi tion. Jackson moved to the opposite side of the house to get a better com mand of Sontag's position and was shot in the left leg near the ankle. He returned to his companions, but told them to keep np the fight About sun set firing stopped for a brief period. Up to that time about 40 shots had been ex changed. Sontag was then sen to crawl from his position on his stomach and Rapelje then again opened fire. Sontag then jumped np and ran up the hill without firing. Rapelje followed and kept firing until Sontag was lost to sight in the brush. Gaid and Burns remained at the house and Rapelje hitched up his team and at once drove to town with Jackson, who was wounded. They left before any attempt was made to find Evans. Officers from this place left at once for the scene, and after a long search in the neighborhood, found Sontag in a straw pile, covered except his face, badly wounded and almost in sensible. He was taken to the jail at Visalia. He made two ineffectual at tempts to kill himself, and says he begged Evans to shoot him, but the lat ter refused. Sontag was shot in the left arm and Bide, and . is thought to be fatally wounded. He says Evans was also wounded. Jackson's leg was am putated this afternoon. The Evans house is guarded. Visalia, Cal., June 14. Chris Evans, the noted outlaw, was captured lost night at the house of Widow Perkins, where he had gene after the trouble with the officers. He was wounded in the right eyebrow, closing the eye. Another bullet plowed across the small of his back, making a wound nine in ches long. He was also shot in the left wrist, the ball passing upward through the forearm. He was not as seriously hurt as Sontag, and will soon recover. Sontag rallied a little this morning, and is feeling much better. Both bandits are in jail. The Southern CnU Rates, New York, June 12. The Southern Pacific company tomorrow will meet the reduced freight rates of the Canadian railway from New York to San Fran cisco. The reduction, however, is more serious than was supposed, fur they will cut under the rates of the Canadian road on all classes where the latter quotes rates of more than $1 per hun- . dred pounds. The Southern Pacific's cut is ten per cent under that.'of its rival. Coming to Oregoi. Monmooth, 111., June 12.
