SOUKOVT IN ISI.EM.
The Sultan's Daughter Thonelit to
ISe Dying.
Lonpon, August 12. From Con
stantinople comes the news that
the Princess Zekia, favorite daugh
ter of the sultan and wife of
Nouredden, is sick with a probably
fatal disorder. The sultan is in
consolable, and has news brought
him every hour of his daughter's
conditiou. The sultan i deeply
attached to Zekia. Her mo'li.'i
was an Anatolian, and one of h
most beautiful women ev-
brought info Ctnstantinopl
Abilul llamid, then not on tie-
throne, bought her from a dealc.
in female slaves, and he became
so attached to her that he neglect
ed all his other wives. She died no!
long after the birth of Zekia, and
for many days aftr her death
Abdul llamid remained as silent
as a statue, barely eating enough
to maintain life, and indifferent to
all the world. It was thought for
a time that his reason wasatfected.
He recovered, and Zekia became
the apple of his eye. In order to
have her near b.m after her mar
riage, he appointed Nouredden to
duty at the palacu. It is hoped
the young woman will recover.
England's Political Leaders.
Lonpox, Aug. 12 Sir William
Harcourt now tills the second place
on the opposition side, and has
decidedly established a claim to
eucceed Gladstone in the leader
ship, the nance of Morley having
been utte. ly extinguished. The
most notable event on the opposi
tion side, however, was the radical
revolt against Lord Roseoerry's
intended leadership in the lords,
which has been kept wonderfully
quiet. This unexpected move kas
been quite successful, and Lord
Granville's place is now filled by
Lord Kimberly, with whom the
radicals and Sir William Harcourt
will co-operate with much more
cordiality and thoroughness than
they would have done with lord
Roseberry, whose paramount and
absorbing interest in political life
is to find himself again at the for
eign office.
SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does
Prevent its Cue.
Not
No poison brings death with
more maddening agony than
ammonia, but that fact does not
seem to discourage the suicide.
The man Harrowitz, who deliber
ately swallowed a fatal dose ot
the drug in Xew York recently, is
only one of the many who have
gone the ammonia route to death
in spite of the excruciating pain.
Dr. Blyth has recorded thirty
cases ot aniiu nia poisoning in the
small London district of which he
is health officer; Professor Mitchell
mentions twenty-two cases, and
four have occurred during the
short time Dr. Jenkins has been
connected with the corner's otlice
in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from
ammonia are of constant occur
rence among men who work in its
manufacture, or even in decom
posing substances, wmcn give
it off in considerable quantities
Ammonia, slowly and froai day to
day taken into the system, causes
the complexion to lose its fresh
ness, and the skin of men who
get heavily impregnated with it
has a disagreeably blotched and
discolored appearence.
Taken into the stomach from
day to day in even the small
qualities used to adulterate food,
such as baking powder, it not only
injures the complexion but attacks
the lining of the stomach, and is
the source of much general ill
health.
The recent rapid increase in the
use ot ammonia tor various pur
poses, and the consequent increase
in its manufacture, have made it
one of the most easily obtained
poisons and although everybody
is familiar with it iu some form,
there is a surprising amount of
ignorance of its dangeious qtiali
ties. Its use as an adulterant in
any food preparation is simply a
crime, and as a crime should ha
punished.
WUIITIEU'S LIFE.
DlfUcuHles Encountered In Writ
lug a Biography.
Banuor, Me., 12. S. T. Pickard.
editor of the Portland Transcript,
whose wife is a niece of John G.
Whit tier, is preparing a biography
of the OjiaKer poet, with the con
sen tind assistance of the latter.
The assistance is of doubtful
value, however, Whittier's ex
treme indifferencj and excessive
modesty being great obstacles to
progress. No sooner is he led to
reveal, by the most adroit ques
tioning, something of interest re
garding his early life and subse
quent career, than he interposes a
gentle remonstrance, as: "But J
would not mention that if 1 were
thee," or. "that is of no import
ance I think," and so the biogra
pher's task is not an easy one.
lhe poet is spending the month of
Auuust at his favorite resort in the
White mountains, as he has al
ways done in recent years when
able to leave home.
The Liberals are Angry.
Lospox, Aug. 12. Mr. Parr.eli
is said to have spoken favorably
of John Dillon's speech, in w hich
lie out lined the iiolicy to be pur
sued by the Irsh party toward the
h-nglish liberals. On the other
hand the liberals are angry. Thev
claim that Dillon went out of his
way to cast suspicion on the mo
tives and aims of the liberal party,
and that ins purpose was to in
duce Parnell to accept him as the
Irish leader. hile the sentiment
of the large majority of the Irish
members of parliament is for
Dillon, there is a stiong undercur
rent against him, especially among
h i clergy, who are stid to con
fer him too independent of the
hurcb.
Ni:VT MINEKAL DlSCOVLl'.ED.
It is Claimed to be the Most Perfect
Insulator yet Found.
A new Mineral which has re
cently been discoveied in Texas
is causing a considerable defcrte ol
interest, which is manifested
throughout the stale. An investi
gation of it is being made and
great results are expected. Its
substance resembles asphalt and
it is said to be unaffected by water
heat, acid or alkalies, and it is
claimed to be the most pel feci
insulator yet discoveied. Numer
ous tests have been maile. It is
found that the action of salt water
and heat has no effect on it.
Professor Hamilton, theelect:i.:ian
of the Western Electric Company
at Austine, certifies that under the
tests excuted in the most ex
haustive manner, a wire prepared
with a covering of the material
showed a risistance of over 7030
ohms per mile. This is said to be
seven fold the resistance offered
by any other wire. There is also
said to be practically no l.imt iu
the state to the supply of this
strange mineral, which is found in
yeins ranging in depth from two
to forty feet. The world of science
and mechanical industry will await
with interest a futher investiga
tion, which is needed to prove the
utility of the new discovery be

was in last week, for the purpose
of surveying the Xehalem bar.
U. 3. Engineer, Savage did the job
in short order and then pulled out
for other quarters, considering
that the Str. Polar Bear crossed in
over the bar September 10th 1888
drawing 8 l.i feet, deserves a liberal
appropriation from the govern
ment, for in a report nade by
Willard Young Captain of Engi
neers U. S. A. States that one of
the largest and finest bodies of
timber in Oregon lies along and
tributary to the Xehalem river as
well as a most excellent body of

THE HUNGRY ELAMES
Oregon's Metropolis Visited by a
$120,000 Fire.
YVOKK OF AN INCENDIARY,
Kelly, Dunne & Co. anil Zau Bros.
the Principal Losers St. Vin
cent's Hospital Esiaped.
Poutlaxd, Aug. 12. Fire
broke out at 5:15 o'clock this
morning in the one-story wooden
warehouse, at the southwest cor
ner of Twelfth and K, owned by
Kelly, Dunne & Co., and contain
ing lubricating and paint oils.
Owing to the inflammable con
tents of the building nearly all
being oil the fire seemed to be
all over it in a few seconds after
first discovered, and before any
alarm was given. Dense volumes
of thick, black smoke rose rapidly,
there being no wind at the time.
The flames leaped up high and
raged with great fierceness, mak
ing an intense heat, and threaten
ing with destruction the five
houses in the rear, fronting on
Thirteenth street and extending
from J to K.
Before the engines arrived sev
eral other buildings were on fire.
At 8 : 20 a. m. there were thous
ands of persons in the vicinity of
the fire, and the engines were hard
at work trying to extinguish the
burning oil in the ruins of the first
warehouse. Suddenly loud shouts
were heard and flames were seen
breaking through the roof of the
high wooden building on the
southwest confer of Eleventh and
L, and the cry of "The broom fac
tory is on fire, rang out with
startling clearness. It alarmed
all, for the building is very high
was full of dry material, and manv
houses are in its immediate vicin-
itv.
It was occupied for the man u
facture of brooms by Zan Bros.,
ceiuman & cole, and Known as
the Sunset Broom Factory. The
building was of wood, three etories
high, w ith a large one-story addi
tion the same length and about as
wide.
The tire in the factory spread
rapidly, and there seemed no pros
pect that the department could
subdue it.
it was a total loss, though no
other buildings were burned
Large quantities of broom corn in
I oales were in the factory, and
these burned with great jiersis-
tency. Oil from the burned ware
house llowed through the gutters
along the street beside the factory,
making the danger of still more
widespread fire quite imminent,
nly one block from the factory
stands the St. Vincent hospital,
on the noi th west corner ot Elev
enth and .M. litis was also in
danger, for the roof was very hot
and the air full of sparks. Wet
blankets were spread on the roof
and water used freely, so that it
did not ignite.
This would have been a fearful
calamity, as it contains over 150
patients, about one-third of whom
are perfectly helpless. Fvery pre
caution was taken, for stretchers
were in readiness, and a number
of carriages ordered in case the
inmates would have to be re
moved. Some scoundrel had
dipped up oil from the gutters mid
poured it over the wood and side
walk by the hospital. Had he
been discovered the citizens would
have made quick work in diepos-
ng of hiin.
The losses and insurance as near
as can be ascertained are:
Kelly. Dunne A Co. sav that
they had an insurance of $24,000
on the burnt warehouse and con
tents. On the double warehouse,
which was first burned, and which
contained oil mostly, the insur
ance was $18,500. Ou the single
warehouse opjosite, which con
tained points, the insurance was
$5500. They estimate their total
loss about $;",000, or $15,000 more
than the insurance.
L. P. W. Ouimby'e barn was
worth $800 ; insured for $500. His
horses, harness and carriages were
saved, but about $200 worth of hay
and eiain mostly the latter was
lost and on this there was no in
surance. His house is scorched,
the damage being mostly to the
paint.
Mr. Jlann, corner ihird and
Lincoln, owned the four houses on
Thirteenth, Nob. 183, 190, 192, 194,
and was insured. His loss on
these will be about $800.
M. Swenson resided at 188, and
is damaged slightly by removal of
Kocds.
No. 190 was occupied Dy John t.
Merrill on the first floor and Hart
ley Morgan in the chambers. The
former lost considerable by the
damage to goods and was insured.
No. 192 was occupied by Gereon
Katan, who kept a large stock of
gents' furnishing goods and was
lully insured.
No. 194 is the corner house, oc
cupied by William Wiuckler, who
had no insurance. All these five
families had but little loss, caused
principally by the removal ol
goods.

think their lost will . be about
$75,000, as they had a large stock
of goods in the warehouse, besides
fine machinery and a considera
ble amount of broom corn and
manufactured brooms.
This would make a total loss of
$120,000.
'S- re is no doubt but that the

Expert of Meal and By Forbidden
front Rassla.
Berlin, August 12. The ukase
forbidding export from Russia of
rye and rye meal of every kind
aud brand, which was published
in the official journal at St.Peters
burg yesterday, has created an
enormous sensation in this city.
The ukase came as a complete
surprise to the dealers in grain
here. There is some difference in
the dispatches in regard to the
date on which the prohibition will
go into effect. Several early dis
patches yesterday stated the ukase
would go into effect immediately,
while late telegrams announced it
would not be enforced until Au
gust 27. This affords great relief.
The influence of this action on
the part of the Russian govern
ment was immediately felt on the
bourse here, and the effect was to
generally depress prices, although
values did not la.i as low as n was
expected, they would, as aaany
leading bankers Had received
secret advices as to the probable
promulgation of the decree. One
effect of tha ukase has been to
raise the price of rye almost to the
price of wheat.
Chancellor V on Capri vi is deal
to all appeals made to him to re
move the grain duties.
The Russian measure win not
be felt for several days. Rye im
ported bv Germany lrom ttuesia
cannot be replaced by that of any
other country. A further and
rapid increase in the prices of
breadstuffs must be expected.
This will greatly strengthen the
agitation conducted by leaders of
the Ireisinnige party, and prom
ises to augment the opposition to
the government. Russian nuances
will also suffer from the prohibi
tion.
London. August 12. The Eng
lish newspaper press is much dis
turbed over the announcement
that the Russian government has
decided to prohibit the export of
rye. The general feeling is that
although Great Britain will not be
affected to such an extent as Ger
many and Austria, she will in
evitably suffer to a great degree
from the prohibition.
The Daily News this morning,
commenting on the action of
Russia prohibiting the export of
rye, says it is reassuring to learn
that the crops promise to yield an
exceptionally large harvest. The
farmers of America, the paper de
clares, are masters of the situa
tion, and it is hoped they will use
their strength mercifully. Making
corners in tne necessaries ot lite
are never laudable, and at the
present juncture it would be little
short of fiendish.
