Granta Put Visited by a $50,000 Firt-Orig inaiee) in Defective Flue. Grants Pans, Oregon, July 15. A fire which i believed to have had iUorigin in a defective flue in a hotel yentenlay afternoon destroyed $50,000 worth of property here. A southwest wind that was blowing a gale muttered the flying embers over all parts of the city and made it practically imposnible for the firemen to keep the flames under control. The fire was a moat remark able one in that it did not sweep every thing a it went, but skipped here and there, making the situation all the more difficult for the firemen and the citi zens, w ho fought heroically to quell the destructive flame. Nearly all of the residences and buildings burned were insured for one-half or two-thirds of their value. The fire originated in the old City hotel, on Front tlreet. Flame were diocovered breaking through the kitchen roof about 1 o clock in the afternoon, and probably caused by a defective flue. Fanned by the tierce wind, the flames d completely enveloped the City hotel and the adjoining buildings before the Are department could reach the scene. notwithstanding their prompt response. I he drants Pan brewery was next in the path of the flames, and in a lew minute was reduced to ashes. The blaze then leaiied across the street to the railroad yards of the Southern Pacific, where are located the round house, machine shop and wood yard. These were soon a mass of flames. Acron the street were three residences, and these were next to go. By this time the whole city was in gieat alarm. The wildest excitement prevailed, for the solid business portion of the town on Front street and all of the residences of the city, comprising half of Grants Pass, seemed doomed, aa they were di rectly in the path of the flames. Every available team, dray and truck in the city weie brought into use in getting the contents of stores and residences to places of safety. , The mayor telephoned to Ashland for assistance and the fire department ol that city was loaded onto a special train and hurried to the scene of the conflagration, where good service was rendered in aaviug the remainder of the town, SALISBURY RESIGNS. It Was Expected, but Not to Soon Succeeded by A. J. Ballour. London, July 16. The fact of the resignation of the premiership of Great Britain by Lord Salisbury has been offi cially given out. The prime minister laid down tiie responsibilities of his office July 11. Within 24 honra his majesty elevated A. J. Balfour, the government's chief representative in the house of commons, to the position of premier. While it was expected in political and commercial circles that Lord Sal isbury's retirement would be coincident with the coronation of King Edward, it was scarcely looked for prior to that event. Consequently about the only surprise expressed as the news spread through London concerned the date, rather than the fact of the resignation. The real interest was not so much in reference to Lord Salisbury's with drawal as it was in the appointment of bis successor. The liveliest speculation is rife as to the personnel of the new cabinet. The most discussed feature of the pending changes is the position of Mr. Cham berlain, the colonial secretary, who in many quarters has been regarded as the most promising candidate for the pre miership. As to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal, the main reason is considered by prac tically all well informed persons to have been a desire for a quiet life on the part of a man advanced in years, whose activities have been unusual and whose scientific tastes predisposed him to study and seclusion. Although Lord Salisbury's resigna tion does not necessarily involve the reconstruction of tho cabinet, it is be lieved there wilt be some changes. It is considered not unlikely that some of the ministers will be made peers in order to make room for new blood in the cabinet. Waters Are Falling. Topeka, Kan., July 16. The flood situation is beginning to show some improvement. The Kansas river has fallen nearly four inches since 10 o'clock this morning, and the prospects are that the 'all will be steady now until the water has reached its usual level. Railroad traffic on the Santa Fe and Union Pacific is entirely shut off between here and Kansas City on ac count of washouts near Lawrence. It is thought that the damage will be re paired sometime tomorrow. Collide In Malacca. Singapore, June 9, via San Francisco, July 16, A collision took place the night of June 6 in the Straits of Malac ca, between the local steamer Teutonia and a Chinese junk. Both vessels sank almost immediately, and only 68 per sons were saved out of 106 on board. Precautions Agalnit Cholera. Tokio, June 28, via San Francisco, July 16, Owing to the prevalence of cholera in certain districts of Japan, the United States sanitary authorities will allow no one to go to Hawaii or America from the infected places with out undergoing live days' disinfection at Yokohama. This order also applies to any person coming by way of Tokio, as the disease has made its appearance in the capital. MERRILL IS DEAD TRACY KILLED HI8 PAL, JUST A8 HE 8AID. Body Found at Napavine, Near Chehalii Brother of the Outlaw Identifies the Re- malne DiKovcry Wa Made by Woman and tier So While Out Picking Berries will Not Oct hull Reward. Cliehalls, Juiy 16. All doubt of Convict Harry Tracy' sUiry that be hal slain his pal, David Merrill, hi. been removed by the new that Mer rill' dead body bad been found, four mile southeast of here, partially con- cealifd by two logs, between which the murderer had thrown it. Although partially decomponed, two bullet wounds were plainly discernible in the body, one in the wrist and another in the back, and it is believed that a third bullet found lodg nent in'the ncek of the victim of a fellow criminal's treahcery. The discovery wa made by Mrs. Mary Wagoner, of Napavine, and her 1 2-year-old son George, who were picking blackbeiries in the woods near the Northern Pacific railroad track. ai d were attracted to the body by the odor. Thinking at once of the story ol Tracy, which, with the many tales ol his adventures, is known to everyone in this vicinity, they at once made an investigation. The body was lying between two logs. luce down, and with the legs and one hand up. The spot where it lay is about 200 feet from the Northern Pacific track, on an unfrequented road, and so distant from any dwelling that the crack of Tracy' murderous rifle might have sounded without attracting any at tention. The surroundings and the lo cation of the bullet holes indicate that the story Tracy told to the cerw of the launch which carried him down Puget sound from near Olympia, July 2, may be true, although there is reason to believe that the convict, fearing that Merrill would reveal the whereabouts of the fugitives by his clumsiness killed him in cold blood. Three 90-30 shells, found a ilttle dis tance frojo the spot w here the body was found, destroyed whatever doubts re mained in the minds ol those who answered Mrs. Wagoner's summons, and subsequent developments have demonstrated conclusively that Tracy not only Is toe slayer of six men who were obstaejes in his path to liberty, but also shot down his own companion and fellow fugetive. The face was un recognizable, and the body in a bad state, hut a comparison of the descrip tion of scars on Merrill's hands, his foot and knee, and the color of bis hair, tallied with those on the body. War den J. T. Janes, of the Salem peniten tiary, did not swear that the body was that of Merrill, but expressed an opin ion to this effect. J. W. Studebaker, of Castle Rock, who had known Merrill many years, said the body was that of the outlaw. Ben Merrill, his brother, who has been working in a Chehalis livery stable the past two weeks, ex pressed the same opinoin. ' Will Not Oct Full Reward. Salem, Or., July 17. Superintend ent J. D. Lee, of the Oregon peniten tiary, today received a message asking whether the reward will be paid to the person who found the body of Meirill. Superintendent Lee replied that the re ward would be Fid according ;o the language of the offer, which was for the "capture and return" of the con victs, dead or alive, but that in any event he would pay liberally for the re turn of the body, even though not cap tured as specified in the offer. BATTLE SHIP AGROUND. Illinois Striku an Obstruction in the Harbor of Chriitlana, Norway. Christiana, Norway, July 17. The United States battleship Illinois, flag ship of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, and the United States cruiser Chicago have arrived here. While the Illinois was standing into the harbor, leading the squadron, her steering gear failed, and her helm jammed bard to star board, with the ship beaded straight for the shore. Both anchors were let go and her engines were backed prompt ly, but the port anchor chain parted. The ship struck an obstruction and a bole was punched in her bottom. Two small compartments filled with water. The crew were piped to quarters and the water tight doors were closed. The rest of the apiadton stood into the in ner harbor. The Illinois was eventu ally backed off and anchored safely. Rear .Admiral Crowninshield will probably shift his flag to the Chicago. Tornado In North Dakota. St. Taul, July 17. Tremendous dam age, and, it is thought, great loss ol life, were caused by a terrible wind storm which early tonight swept in a southwesterly direction from the inter national boundary across the north eastern portion of North Dakota. Three towns, according to the meager reports which are obtainable, were totally wiped out. Telegraph lines are wrecked and there is no communication with the section where the most serious devastation is thought to have been worked by the tornado. Explosion of the Kaichl. Victoria, B. C, July 17. Details are given in the Chinese papers, received today by the steamship Empress of India, of the blowing up of the Chinese cruiser Kaichi, which was lying at Usiuknan, and used as a training ship. The first report placed the loss of life at 250, but the more reliable papers say it it will not exceed 140. At the time of the explosion Captain Lee and sev eral of the officers were ashore, four officers having been left in charge. TO BE BIG P08T. Department PropoKt to Make Vancouver One o( the Largest ia Country. Washington, July 15. The action of the war department in allotting 1 142, 000 for immediat expenditure in en larging the present quarter at Van couver Barrack indicates that this post is not only to be retained ((department headquarters, but is to be gradually developed as one of the largest perma nent army stations. The money now made available will be expended nnder the direction of the department and constructing quartermasters in enlarg ing and fitting up the 10 barracks buildings now standing, making them sufficiently large to accommodate a full regiment of infantry. New quarters will alno be erected for the accommoda tion of two large companies of field artillery of 120 men each. Such addi tional officers' quarters will be erected as are necessary to accommodate the complement of officers in command of the troops provided for. A large build ing for the "bachelors' mess" will also be erected, together with several smaller building not yet arranged for. The apportionment of funds made does not provide for sewer, water and heating systems, for which additional funds will be allotted later. In the construction of all builidngs, local tim- oer will be used, as experience has taught that on the Pacific coast frame buildings are a great deal cheaper and equally as satisfactory as brick. Plans for this new work are now being com pleted, and will be advertised at an early date, fcs most of the work will be done by contract. At Fort Lawton, $105,500 has been apportioned for erecting new quarters for two additional companies of infantry in addition to the two companies now quartered there, while headquarters for a regiment will also be built, making this the most important poi-t on Puget sound. These buildings will be frame. At Fort Wright the $27,000 allotted will be expended in erecting officers quarters of brick, to replace the quai ters now provided. Work at the late named posts will be done by contract, under supervision cf the constructing quartermasters now at these stations. Plans for the work will be completed as i rapidly as possible. MOVING SIDEWALKS- Syndicate Formed Which Propoiea to Equip Brooklyn Bridge. New York, July 15. It is learned, says the Herald, that behind the plan to equip the Brooklyn bridge with mov ing sidewalks are men of great promin ence in the railroad and financial world. Tbey have.it is stated, perfected a preliminary organization, and if their proposition is viewed favorably by the officials of the city who have power to act they will organize a corporation under this state and become practically a local concern. It has been agreed by the representa tives of these men that they will with in one year equip the bridge with mov ing sidewalks at,t heir own expense, and will pay the city $150,000 a year for the privilege ol operating them. They have agreed to charge not more than 1 cent a person for each crossing. There will be no total suspension of traffic at any time during the progress of the work, they promise, and the public will not even be inconvenienced for more than four days, or certainly more than a week, while the termials are being put in place. It is proposed to operate the moving sidewalk for about 10 out of the 24 hours, during the times of the greatest crush of passengers, and to operate the trolley cars as at present the remainder of the time, thus giving opportunity to inspect the.sidewalk and keep it in perfect operation. WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH. Union Pacific Strike Promlitt to Be s Struggle Both Sides Determined. long Omaha, July 15. At the end of the fifth week of the Union Pacific shop men's strike there appears to be little hope for an immediate settlement. Both sides have shown themselves de termined to fight to the end. The offi cials of the road today made a brief re sume of the conditions, stating that 65 per cent of the strikers' places in this city are filled. The company is not hampered, according to the official state ment, in the handling of motive power by reason of the strike. Strike leaders declare that there has not been a sin gle defection from their ranks; that the new men at work are not generally skilled mechanics, and that a long fight is in propseot which will eventu ally force the company to their terms. Will Hold Their Coal. New York, July 15. At a meeting of the ooal operators yesterday, an agreement was reached that until the meeting of the bituminous coal miners, to lie held July 17, becomes known, the coal operators in the agreement will hold their present stock of coal, and that which they will receive this week, and not sell any in the open market The operators ray they are impelled to protect themselves because of the scarcity of soft coal in or near New York, which the consultation dis closed yesterday. Great Northern Strike Settled. St. Paul, July 15 Four hundred I boiler makers and helpers on the Great j Northern railway system, who went on strike for higher wages some six weeks ago, returned to work yesterday morn I ing. The strike was settled at a con : forence between a committee of strikers and officials of the company. There j were concessions on both sides. Under the new schedule, the men will receive . an advance of 25 cents per day over ' the stale in effect before the strike. OVER HALF A CENT THIS PREVENTS A SETTLEMENT OF CHICAGO 8TRIKE. Both Railroad) and Freighthandlers Say They WiH Yield Nothing Mora, and Expect to Fight It Out to a Finuh-Bu.weia Men of the City Losing a Millioa Dollar a Day No Siga of Settlement.

The situation tonishr ia than at any time since the commence ment of the tronhln n,l . nn i. since the walkout have the point at issue been so obstinately maintained. Three times yesterday the freight handlers sent committees to meet the general managers, and three times came back without reeults. The first call was made without giving warning to the managers, and when thammmit. tees arrived, they were unable to find any oi mem, tor tbe reason that the managers were havincr mu.;n their own, and were not at their offices. inesecona call produced more effect, as several of the committees saw the managers, but nothing definite resulted. mo lam committees were sent out by President Curran. of th r,.i.i..-j - iviUUMUI. lers, at tbe demand of the teamsters, uo waniea sometning attempted to ward a settlement. This time the com mittees were started an it-. t. k. afternoon that it waa a fnroonn. sion that they would not find many of ..., geucri managers at tneir offices.

The railroad warehouses, ordinarily a hive of industry, were almost as quiet as on Sunday. At a distance from each warehouse was a company of pickets posted to keep freight from entering or leaving the sheds.
