Dispute.
The Hague, Nov. 29. Dr. Asses, of
the International board of arbitration
who was appointed sole arbitrator In
the dispute between Russia and
America regarding the fisheries in the
Behrlng Sea made public his report
today. Tne dispute arose from the
seizure of several American sealers
by Russian cruisers. Asser's judg
ment favors the American sealers,
but the sums of indemnity It Is claim
ed, are qonsiderably diminished.
The claims amounted to ?200.rtOO.
and date back five years. They worn
made not so much because of the loss
of vessels slezed seven miles from the
Asiatic coast, as for the hardships to
ward officers and men after arrest.

It is a part of Seligman's proposition

he will be disappointed. The state

GAS EXPLOSION.

Four Daughters' Injured.
Marietta, O., Nov. 29. A gas explo
sion In the residence of XIrs. Mary
Tucker demolished her, house this
afternoon. Tho mother and four
daughters were all injured and pin
ioned beneath the building timbers.
They were rescued with great diffi
culty. Adjoining houses were craclct
ed and rendered unsafe. The explo
sion was so violent that all the win
dows within two blocks were shattered.
WANTS TO GO HOME.

Wolmarans, sailed for South Africa
today. Schalkberger carries a letter
from Kruger to Chamberlain in whfch

Chicago, Nov. 29. Five boilers in
Swift's Ice plant, No. 3, exploded with
terrific force at 10:40 this morning.
Twelve bodies have been recovered
and 11 others are believed to be be
neath the debris.
A rough estimate places the Injur
ed at 50. The plant was completely
wrecked. All the ambulances In the
city are being hurried to the scene.
Rescue work Is very difficult, as noth
ing is left of the huge building but a
heap of tangled wood and iron buried
beneath brick and stone. Steam" en
velapcs everything.
Tanks ot boiling watei added to
the suffering of tho Injured, many be
ing scalded while their comrades were
trying to rescue them.
Firemen have a hard effort to re
strain the crowd which surrounds the
scene of the disaster.
The main boiler, according to de
ductions of a fireman, first exploded
and shot through the roof with a ve
locity of a 13-inch shell, ripping iron
girders like straw. The brick and
stone walls of the three-story struc
ture collapsed Immediately, aftel
which the other boilers exploded sim
ultaneously. An adjoining building, which was
used as a storage house, was partly
demolished.
Fifty men were employed in the
Jutt$randxa--inimher "were ImflfcfgtnjMaiiw
none fatallv. s2 'lans
an jd
Three men working in tho yards,
were struck and killed by flying frag
mentsof walls.
Whin the last four boilers explod
ed, they hurled tons of brick, stone
and timber high in the air, which,
falling In all directions, struck many
person's In the streets and In distant
poxtlpns of the stock yards.
FJiur men killed outside of the
buildings were all Identified.
Of the eight bodies taken from the
ruins,, only four have been identified.
The others are so horribly crushed,
mangled and scalded as to be impos
sible to identify.
The hospitals were unable to glye
a complete list of the Injured. Many
victims were taken to their homes.
Fifty Is probably a safe estimate.
ItA'ls now almost certain that none
of Qie 23 men employed in the Ice
hou&e escaped. Firemen are working
in Oie- debris.
-Four-Story Building Collapses.
Chicago, Nov. 29. At noon the
four-story building ofjtho American
Can Company collapsed. One man
was seriously injured. Fifty girls,
warned by tile "cracking walls, filed

lin Field was the mccca today for
thousands of football enthusiasts and
th,e students were taxed to their ut
most capacity to accommodate tho
great crowds of spectators gathered
to witness the annual gridiron con
test between the elevens of the Wet
Point Xtllltary Academy and the Nav
al Academy at Annapolis. In tho
seats reserved for notables were to bo
seen Just prior to tho opening of the
game a distinguished delegation from
Washington. Conspicuous among
those In the group were Secretary o
War Root, Secretary of the Navy
Moody, ndmlral Dewey, General Cor
bin and other eminent representatives
of the government service on land and
sea. Both teams appeared to bo In
superb condition when they lined up
on the field and each wns given a
rousing greeting from tho crowds.
The naval cadets evidently were pro
pared for the battle of their lives.
Close followers of the sport, how
ever, were mostly of tho opinion that
they were In for n walloping at tho
hands of their military brethren from
up the Hudson and this judgment was
sustained by the betting odds which
early In the day were heavily In favor
of West Point, but later were .ham
mered down by the offering of An
napolis money until at tho beginning
of the game some oven money offers
were accepted.
This afternoon Is an Ideal day for
football. West Point used the tandem

cessfully and is the heavier team, hut

Hardships of Frontier Life Guarding
Settlers Ej;om Indian Attacks
"Lisir' Applegate's Education Was
Gleaned From "Paradise Lost."
The popular conception of the typ
ical Indian fighter misses its mark
widely in Col. Curry, of La Grande.
He is the very reverse of the long
haired,, buckskln-shlrted Buffalo Bill
variety! He has zr.ore the appearance
of the scholar than the Indian fighter.
One cannot listen to his stories of the
Indian war days, when the Colonel
is In a reminiscent mood, without be
ing struck with the fact that he Is au
tender-hearted as a woman; nor does
lie share the oft-expressed belief that
.the only good Indian is a dead one.
Kill or be Killed.
"Yes, I have killed Indians," said
Col. Curry, "but it has been fair fight
when It was kill ur lie killed. It
seems rather surprising that while
nil my family have been pathfinders
and pioneers none of us have been
sportsmen or hunters. We ouly kill
when it is necessary. Though game
wns abundant here In early days, I
have never killed a deer. My father,
who was iiorn in a blockhouse in Ken
tucky In 181. was not a hunter
either. We do not have the lust to
kill. When my father was a young
man ho cairicd the military express
from St. Louis to Fort Dearborn.
Later he carried from Fort Dearborn
to Cljlllcothe, Ohio. Fort Dearborn
later became Chicago,
Applegate's Education.
"I was riding along the road on
Rogue river,- with Lieut. Applegate
10 years or so ago. I asked him how
it was that he used such pure Eng
lish. He told me that when he was
a young man in the East he went to
a well-known lawyer and asked hlra
how to ai:qulre a mastery of good
English. The lawyer took down Mil
ton's "Paradise Lost" from his shelves
and said:
"IRcad that till it 'becomes a part
of you.'
"Applegate read It and reread it.
He could repeat the whole poem, I
believe. I know he recited It for an
hour or so to me as we rode along.
Hunting Simcoe Indians.
"When the United States withdrew
the regular troops from the frontier
of Eastern Oregon and Washington
teriltory, the settlers were lelt in a
very unprotected state. The war de
partment had authorized the raising
ot a cavalry regiment in Oregon, so
on the 12th of November, 1SC1, 1 be
gan the enlistment of a company at
The Dalles. By December 2C, 40l re
mits were mustered into the service
of the United States.
"About the first service of a mili
tary nature, aside from drilling and
camp routine, was a march of five
days after the Simcoe Indians. The
Woodward party had been massacred
an John Day's river. It was reported
that the Simcoe Indians had had a
hand In the deed. With 12 men, I
started out on March 2, 18R2,to ex
amine the various camps of uie Sim
coe trilio, In search of any articles
belonging to the Woodward party.
"I had instructions to arrest tho
chief or the tribe if any evidence
oulil be found cf their guilt. We
lushed the first camp wo came to, and
made prisoners of some of the lead
m.iiu:is. Retaining them as hos
tages, we visited tho various camps,
but could find no evidence that the
Simcoe Indians iiad participated In
i he murders, so we released our hos
tages and icturnod.

NEW GRAIN RATE.
FOR JAPANESE EXPOSITION.
JACK MATTHEWS' RESIGNATION DEMANDED
Is the Outcome a Comprint Made by the Oregon Daily
Journal,
Washington, Nov. 29. Assistant
Attorney-General Hay,, this morning
wired W. F. Matthews, United States
marshal for tho district of Oregon,
demanding bis resignation as chair
man of the republican state central
committee. This action Is the out
come of political friction between
Matthews and Postmaster Croasman,
of Portland. Matthews, as chairman
o the state central committee, has
made repeated efforts to secure the
appointment of personal friends, to
various positions In the Portland post
office, and when his wishes were not
compiled with, undertook to oust Mr.
Croasnxfn. This political activity of
Mr. Matthews, while holding tho po
sition of United States marshal, be
came offensive to citizens of all po
litical parties, and a formal protest
was entered with the department of
Justice by the Oregon Dally Journal,
with the result as above stated.
Lewis and Clark Fair Committee Ap
propriates $2000 for Oregon Exhib

Portland. Nov. 29. A special meet
ing of the lwls and Clark board of
directors Is being held this afternoon
at the oillce of the secretary, 210
Washington street It was unani
mously decided to appropriate 12000
for the establishment of an Oregon
exhibit at the Japanese National Ex
position. A general discussion from
this exhibit was then Indulged In.
Articles for display at the exposi
tion are rather slow In coming, and
Colonel Dosch wishes to Impress on
the minds of those Intending to take
advantage of this opportunity of get
ting the Japanese trade that there Is
not much time to lose. Tho exposi
tion will open March 1 and close July
31. As It takes over half a month
for a steamer to reach Japan from
Portland, and that time Is consumed
In packing and arranging the exhibit,
It will be seen that all articles which
are to be exhibited must be In In a
very short time, as Colonel Dosch ex
pects to leave either the middle or
the latter part 'of December.
