Madbio, Sept. 19. Dispatches
from Consetlgra this morning state
that the workmen who have been
engaged in moving the dead and
drowned cattle have left in a body
and positively refuse to resume
work. They claim that the stench
arising from the bodies is so severe
that no human being can handle
them. Disinfectants are being
sent for, and it is expected the
work of clearing the streets will be
resumed this afternoon. The
country around tbe flooded district
is swarming with marauders. The
authorities are employing all avail
able force in securing the destitute
and in attempting to dear away
the worst wreckage encumbering
the streets and buildings.
The bodies of 1200 victims of the
flood at Consuegra have been
buried. The town wears a most
desolate aspect. An official report
of the disaster says 530 buildings
at Consuegra have vanished from
their sites, while 150 are in a pre
carious condition and need to be
demolished. Ten men are under
arrest at Consuegra charged with
robbing the dead. The damage
done by the floods is now estimated
at $4,000,000. ThenverArguyaUo,

Salem, Sept. 19. The last day
of the Oregon state fair, like the
whole week, was bigger in every
way than the corresponding day
last year. This afternoon there
was a large crowd at the race
course, while at the pavilion and-
about tbe dinerent departments
there were also a large number ol
people. The gate roceip a to-day
are going to be larger than Satur
day of last year, although the
weather was not so favorable.
Among the campers and exhibit
ors there is a lively moving. All
are preparing to leave and this
evening found the fair grounds a
scene of moving. People are go
ing away satisfied at having at
tended the best state fair ever held
in Oregon, and which would have
been measurably larger had the
weather been clearer. The pre
miums have all been awarded and
the secretary force are busy hand
ing out warrants.
At tbe Oregon state fair this
afternoon the races which were to
be about the best of the fair
started in the rain. The track
soon got heavy and the time was
slow. The Oregon derby was run
in a big shower, but when the last
special trot was run the sun was
shining warmly.
In the trot, 2:22 riass, Blondie

inat while the rioters have been
justly punished, the missionaries
are not free from blame. He
claims that their habit of buying

wnat is done to children, the more
ignorant imagining that they are
sacrificed in religious rites. Such
matters, the magistrate thinks.

St. Pktershcro, Sept. 19. The
Russian government views with
increasing alarm the aggressive
course of China in the direction

special meeting of the officers at
the headquarters of the general

ago, the military position of China
was discussed, and one of the
generals who took a prominent
part in tbe meeting stated that
the Chinese numbered nearly
.600.000 men, with an inexhausti

recruits. The Chinese govern

ANNEXATION OF CANADA,
The Sentiment Bald to Be Growing
In Favor.
San Francisco, (Sept. 19.
Richard Everett, of Montreal, who
recently represented an important
constituency in the Canadian par
liament, is in tbe city. Speaking
of the growth of the annexation
sentiment in the Dominion, he
said that the scandals, which fol
lowed so closely on the death of
Sir John Macdonald, had made
the time for a union of the two
countries many years nearer.
All Canada had the greatest
confidence in Macdonald, and the
people were inclined to give full
credence to all he said against
men close to Sir John, but even
against the premier himself, and
the people had learned that it was
easier to conceal corruption under
a colonial than under a republican
government. Ihere waa a power-
ful opposition to oyexespjc-TIfr"
Everett said. bstTon'the whole the
annexation movement was gaining
strength every day. There were
now annexationists among the
most conservative French and
English people in Canada. A few
years ago those classes weie
solidly against any nnion.
