A !?lsastrous Fire.
Halifax, N. S., Oct. 2. The most
disastrous fire that has visited Halifax
for years occurred this morning. . I
broke out before 1 o'clock in the
Merlin plaining mill, on Taylor's wharf,
near the Canard wharves. Id a few
minutes the place was all ablaze, and the
fire spread rapidly. A gentle breeze
from the north carried showers of live
spark9 to the buildings, and vessels and
wharves south of the fire. The whole
department was called out, aud engines
from Dartmouth came over to render
assistance. Within an hour Merlin's
mill. Wilson's blacksmith shop, John
Taylor & Co.'s big fish warehouse filled
with pickeled bsli, Brookbeld Bros lum
her warehouse and yards, and Taylor &
Brookfiela s wharves were destroyed
By this time the fire had spread to Liver
pool- vthart on- the r.nrth and burned out
Butler's spai yard, B. Swenerton, Miller's
agent, Hxlifas broom factory, J. B
Neillev & Co., commission merchants,
and Stratford Bros,, oil dealers. Large
quantities of petroleum wire stored on
this, wharf snd there were great fears of
an explosion. This was prevented by
rolling the oil into the dock. The tire
spread simultaneously to the south wharf,
and soon the immense Dsn warehouse of
John Taylor & Co.. was a prey to the
names. The loss will be heavy. A score
of scDooners at the burning wharves were
moved out into the harbor.
Hatred of Americans
San Diego, Ca ., Oct. 2. The British
steamer West Indian from Iquique and
Valpariso for Saa Fiancisco, had stopped
in the harbor for coal and provisions,
Her captain confirms the reports of ill-
leeliug and abuse ot Americans since the

amid cries of "God save the queen" and
"Hurrah for England." England is on
top as far as commercial interests are
concerned, says the captain, and will re
main so for a great many year to come,
but the trade of the country is greatly
overdone just now and no one will make
any great profit out of it.
, H orse Than Death.
Boston, Oct. 4. Benjaman Sinkski,
his wife and son Mses, arrived here Fri
day on the steimer Kansas. The family
gave a party May 28, in their borne at
Trabe, Russia, in honor of the 13th birth
day of Moses, who, under the Jewish
custom1), had reached man's estate. Pri
vate parties being contrary to the Russian
aw the local police demioded a large
sum as bush money, which Sinkski could
not give. The family.witbout trial, were
started lor Siberia. On the way there an
officer in command of the guard made a
proposal to binkski s danohrer, agreeing
to release the whole family if she would
uhinit She was willing to sacrifice her
self, bat her father forbade her doint,' so.
To make the father yield the girl was
strong up by her arms, and the pain and
tngbt caused her death. A section of
nihilists heard of this outrage and sue
ceeded in drugging the soldiers and ex
ecuting the captain The captives were
escued and assisted across the Russian
frontier, and sent to America.
The Liberal Congress.
Newcastle, Oct. 2 At to-day's ses
sion of the liberal congress resolutions
were adopted condemning registration
laws. One was to the effect that the con
dition of the rural population was such
as to require immediate attention on the
part of parliament, and looking to other
reforms in behalf of farmers; reaffirming
be declarations of the council of the
National Libera! Federation in favor of
amending or ending the bouse of lords;
declaring in favor of "loai option" iu
regard to public bouse regulations; ad
vocaiing a thorough reform of the land
aws and disestablishment and disendow-
ment of the church ot Scotland. A re
solution lavoring abolishing the bouse of
o.ds was introduced by Su Wilfred
Lawsen, who with Sir Henry Fowler.
made a speech favoring such action.
The resolution and speeches solicited
much enthusiasm The convention then
took a recess for lunch.
A Fireplace Explo Ion.
Monmouth, Or., Oct. 1 A mysterious
accident ocenrred here yesterday, ia
which the 12 year old daughter of Dr.
W. H. Parrisb, a physician of this place,
was senously injured. While she was
sitting near an open fireplace an explo
sion occurred in the fire, filling the room
with the debris. The noise soon brought
crowd oi peopie to the spot, and
when the excitement bad subsided,
it was found that the little girl's lower
limbs were laterally tilled with what was
at first supposed to be shot from a cart
ridge Dr. Parrisb, however, could find
no shot in the wounds, nor could the least
vestige of any explosion be fonnd in the
fireplace. Later in the day seme small
metallic fragments, resembling brass,
were removed from the wounds. What
the explosion was, or bow it got in the
fire, is wholly a mystery. The little girl
is resting well, and it is thought will
soon recover.
.Russian f ntrisne.
Vienna, Oct. 2. The impression is
gaining ground that Russian enmity to
Austria and German had something to do
with the attempt to assassinate the Kai
ser Frances Joseph. While it is not be
lieved that the czir, or any other Eu
ropean prince, could wink at the attempt
ed assassination ol another raler, yet tbe
Kussian secret service hag, as it is well
known, taken s leading part in such con
spiracies, as witness the Pamtza plot,
which, wnea detected in time, was aimed
at tbe life of Prince Ferdinand of Bul
garia. It has been thought that tbe
lesson given in tbe execution of Ferdin
and's wouid-be assassin would prevent
such conspiracies thereafter, but there is
reason to assume that Russian intrigaeis
also at tbe bottom of tbe plan to destroy
tbe raler of tbe Austro-Hangarian em
pire. Tbe authorities are determined to
probe tbe conspiracy to the bottom, and
will have no scruples iu employing any
method of getting at tbe truth.
The Chinese Exclusion Act.
. Washington, Oct. 3. The case- of
Chong Sam, a Chinaman who entered the
United States from Canada, and who was
ordered deported' to China, has been
finally disposed of. Sir Julian Paunce
fote, tbe British minister, interested him
self in tbe case on tbe ground that the
man bad a domiciliary "residence in
Canada, and should therefore be allowed
to return to Canada. In order to ac
complish this purpose be urged the
president to pardon bim. The president
wrote to the secretary of state, em
bodying the request of the English
minister. Secretary Blaine replied that
he could not do as requested, for in his
opinion the whole question of the success
and enforcement of the exclusion act was
involved. The collector ot customs at
Port' Huron today was directed to re
quest the marshal to deliver the prisoner
into custody of the collector ot customs
at San Francisco, if habeas corpus pro
ceedings were not promptly instituted.
He Wants an Organ.
London, Oct. 5. The tories are to have
another newspaper. J. Blundell Maple,
M. P., and Lord Radnor are credited
with the ambition to start a new torv 3-
penny daily, as a rival of the Times.
The price would preveut tbe new news
paper from making any headway with
the masses, who do not care to pay more
than 1 penny for a daily newspaper,
so that the new tory daily, it started, will
have to look for circulation among the
wealthy and well to do. Blundell Maple
is about 44 years of age, and a son of a
wealthy dealer in furniture. He has
been making considerable noise in various
directions. Earl Radner is tbe treasurer
ot ber majesty's household, but it Is not
likely that any of ber majesty's money
will go into the newspaper enterprise.
It is whispered, however that Radner is
an intimate friend of the Prince of Wales,
and that tbe prince may be anxious for
an organ, especially as be is known not
to have been pleased with tbe comments
ot the Times on tbe Wilson-C'umming
trial.
Trouble in Mexico.
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 5 John H.
Parton, an American, who for t'ue past two
years has been engaged in mining bust
ness near Metztillian, situated in tbe
state of Hidalgo, Mexico, arrived to day.
He brings information of a bloody out
break, which for some time has been in
progress in the district of Tularoengo in
that state. The trouble is the outgrowth
of a dispute between several colonies of
Spaniards, Germans and Indians, new
settlers attempting to settle on the lands
of tbe natives. Parton says that a few
days before bis departure a settlement of
whites was attacked by Indians and neai-
ly 200 persons were massacred, including
men, women and children. Tbe colonists
have appealed to the government for pro
tectiou and several battalions ot troops
are pn their way to the scene of trouble.
Secretary Proctor's Successor,
Washington, Oct. 3. There will be
but one change in the cabinet this fall
and that will be a successor to Secretary
of War Proctor, who becomes United
States senator from Vermont in place of
Senator Edmunds, resigned. It is not
stated whether tbe new secretary will be
appointed in November, when sir.
Proctor goes out, or whether Assistant
Secretary Grant will act as secretary till
the senate meets and the president sends
in his nomination. There has been con-
side' able talk lately of tbe election of S.
B. Elkins for tbe portfolio, secretary
Noble and Attorney General Miller will
remain in tbe cabinet, notwithstanding
to
persistent reports as to their retire-
ment.

Harked to DeatJt.
. San Francisco, Oct, 3. John Skala.
employed at Spegals' sugar refinery, went
down into a vat to-mgbt to set a broken
knile on a machine used for chopping up
crude sugar. Through a miscalculation,
tbe huge knife caugbr his left toot as it
came down and served that member at
tbe ankle Then Skala was drawn into
tbe machine, aud tbe knife continued
moving np and down, each stroke chop
ping off a section of bis leg. Before he
could be reached bis leg had been
chopped entirely off, and tbe knife was
hacking at bis body. At this stage be

killed him. He was 52 years of age snd
a native of Austria. He leaves a widow
and two sons, one of whom witnessed tbe
terrible accident.
Master and Dog Perished. t
San Pedbo, Calif., Oct, 3 The third
fire within a "week occurred here this
alternoon. This and tbe previous one
were attended with the loss of life. This
time it was the residence of B. J. Wilson,
occupied by J S. Duncan, an o d night
watchman, who with bis big dog, is a
well known character here. It is sup
posed Duncan was intoxicated and upset
an oil stove be used for cooking purposes.
When tbe fire was first noticed he was
seen to stagger towaids tbe door, but fell
backwards into tbe flames, wbicb were so
fierce as to render bis rescue impossible.
Tbe dog stuck by bis master faitblul to
tbe end and perished with bim.
The Ill-Feellng is. Increasing.
Crrr of Mexico, Oct. 5. A Salvador
telegram says: The ill -ieeling against
President Eszata is increasing. He has
thrown himself into the arms of tbe
adherents of ex President Caldirar. Tbe
new minister of foreign affairs, Gal'.egos,
was the power behind Caldirar, and was
cordially bated. This hatred is now ex
tending to President Eszeta, whose par
tisans have all deserted him. It is re
ported that Gallegos is intriguing to
make mischief between tbe president and
bis brother, tbe comn.ander-in-cbief.
Gallegos desires war with Honduras.
Tbe assassination of Ayata by Eszeta's
agents in Guatemala is denied.
Cireedy White Hen.
Spokane, Oct, 2. A courier arrived
to-day from Chewetab bearing a dispatch
to General Carlin, commanding tbe
Fourth infantary, from Indian Agent
Cole, who went to tbe scene of the re
ported Indian trouble in Calispel valley,
Idaho. Agent Cole reported that there is
no foundation tor tbe scare; that greedy
whites are trying to dispossess tbe
Indians of their lands, and to scare tbe
the latter away, threatened to bring in
the troops.
A Fatal Fire.
New Yobk, Oct. 5. Three persons
were burned to death early this morning
in a fire in a fivc-story brick tenement
house in this city, and two others fatally
burned. ' The dead Are: Josephine Ryan,
aged 5; Mies Katie Dunn, Mrs M.
Murphy and John and Martin Toobey,
young sons of Mrs. Murphy by her first
husband. John died in great agony at 9
o'clock this morning. Three policemen
discovered tbe fire and immediately broke
in the doors of tbe bouse, but tbe flames
drove them back. Tbe only stairway
in tbe house was on fire, and it was
impossible for the inmates to escape
that way. Nine families resided in tbe
bouse, and each family bad an average
of three boarders, aggregating fifty per
sons. Policemen hastened to tbe ore
escapes on the front of tbe building and
aided men. women and children to
descend. It this way they were assisted
by the firemeD, who quickly answered
tbe alarm. Firemen rescued Matthew
Ryne and bis three young children, who
were almost overpowered Dy smoke, and
unable to help themselves. One ot the
firemen on duty was Mitt hew Murphy,
husband of tbe women burned to death.
He found his wife burned beyond re
cognition. Little Josephine Ryan, tbe
dead woman s niece, died soon after be
ing removed from the house. Miss Katie
Dunn -was overcome by smoke, and
burned to death. Tbe fire broke out in
an unoccupied bouse in ai alley, and tbe
police belieye it wes of incendiary orign
The Situation in ChHl
Santiago, Chili, Oct. 5. The Chilian
government has so far evinced
intention ot abandoning its position that
it has a perfect right to arrest persons as
they enter or leave the precincts of tbe
American legation. But while strenuous
ly insisting upon the posession of this ab
stract right tbe government is at present
making no attempt to put it in practice.
The partisans ot Balmaceda, who took re
tuge under Minister Egan's root, are still
there and no arrests have been made dur
ing tbe past few days. It cannot be
learned that the government bas In con
temptation any plan lor asserting, in the
near future, tbe right of arrest that is
claimed ; but it is thought the presmt un
satisfactory situation cannot be loug in
continuance. In accordance with in
structions received from the state depart
ment at Washington Minister Egan bas
given the junta to understand, by formal
and official notice, that if the Chilian au
thorities continue to maintain their
present attitude, the friendly relations be
tween Chili and the United States will be
interrupted. Tbe junta's reply to this
notice is awaited with great interest.
What Minister Egaa's next step will be
in case the reply is unfavorable is not
known. The United States fiV-gsbip San
Francisco, which is returning from the
North, is expected to reach Valpriso
some time this week. When she gets
into port tbe present plan of tbe American
minister is to ask tbe Chilian govern
ment to allow the reluges now at tbe
United States legation to go on hoard the
United Slates man-of-war Baltimore, and
take their departure from Chilian ter

Washington, Oct. 5. Lyman E.
Knapp, governor of Alaska, in his annual
report to tbe secretary of tbe interior,
devotes considerable space to the seal
islands and the seal industry. The most
serious difficulty in tbe matter, says tbe
governor, is tbe illegitimate slaughter of
females and young in tbe open sea.
There is no doubt that a most valuable
industry and fruitful source of national
income is in danger. More than 100
marauding vessels were hovering about
the islands in Behnng sea during tbe sea
son and a large number of skios were
taken. Tbe steamer Danube made a
special trip to tbe Northern Pacific dur
ing the latter part ot June, reaching
Victoria on ber return July 6. having on
board nearly 18,000 sealskins received
from some thirty five sealing vessels,
which she met, apparently by appoint
ment. Those delivering their cargoes to
tbe Danube were British vessels, Tbe
governor estimates tbe seal illegitimately
taken during a small part of last season
at from 50,000 to 60,000.
Suspected of Harder.
Pabkersbubg, W. VaM Oct. 5. A
tramp named .William Downey was
arrested last night for tbe murder of Mrs.
Henry Cosert and ber son Jopling, tbe
burning of tbe bodies and of the victims'
home, and tbe robery of $1000 in gold.
Tbe scene of tbe tragedy was in Raleigh
county. Tbe family was a thrifty one
and lived in a solitary place. Mrs. Cosert
bad a great liking for gold, and turned
all she saved into it. For years she bad
been boarding her sayings at her home,
and bad accumulated about $1000. Tbe
cbarred remains of herself and fon were
found by a passer-by, who, on Saturday
morning, saw the smoking timbers of
what was once their home. Tbe com
munity is much excited and would lynch
tbe tramp if tbe evidence against bim
Kwas stronger.
The French Pilgrim Episode.
Rome, Oct. 5. The streets were filled
to-day by people shouting for tbe king,
mingled with cries against the pilgrims
and the pope. Tbe day passed off, how
ever, without any violence. In Naples
similar scenes were enacted. In Milan
the people threatened violence to some
foreigners who refused to join in the ex
pressions of loyalty, and in Florence tbe
French residents thought it prudent to
remain In doors. Everywhere the great
est devotion was expressed for the royal
family and tbe cause of Italian unity.
Tbe incident in the Pantheon raised a
flame that shot like wild fire from one
end ol the peninsula to the other.
Fearful Explosion
POttsville, Pa., Oct. 3. An explosion

the side of the colliery not shut off, and
imprisoning the s:x men without hope of
their escape alive.

ITEMS IN BRIEF.
From Saturday's Daily.
Mr. R. B. Moore is visiting the exposi
tion in Portland.
Mr. M. P. blasen returned on the noon
train from a short visit to Portland and the
exposition.
Mr. Geo. William has let the centra,
or a very substantial store building in the
burned dsstnot.
Mrs. E. L. Henmingway, of Ilia, Wash
passed through the city yesterday, en route
to ban r ranci&co.
Mrs. B. Rinehart. wife of Dr. Kinehart,
returned yesterday from a two weeks' visit
to friend and relatives in tbe Willamette
valley.
With one or two exceptions those who
were burned out during the recent fire have
begun business, with perfect confidence in
the future.
There were two "d. and d." arrested last
Din lit. One paid hi fine, and the other
came to the determination to work hi out
on the streets.
The platform on the Washington side "of
the river is well-filled witn wheat, and a
rapidly as it can be placed on the scow this
is being removed to market.
Mr. M. Dichenmiller, of Mosier, is in tbe
city. He says the crops in that vicinity
were very good this year, and the yield of
fruit, grain and vegetables cannot be ex
celled anywhere.
Dr. V. T. Cooke, who owns a farm near
Rockland, gave n a pleasant call this morn
ing. The doctor is very much interested in
siloes, and has promised to write an article
on the subject at early day.
A spare passenger car that was being
taken from Grant to Albina for repair
jumped the track at the former place Satur
day evening aud was not gotten well oo till
Sunday morning- It caused a blockade,
being on the main line and that town was
full of trains all night.
We received a call this morning from Mr.
L. Samuel, formerly publisher of the West
Shore, of Portland. He is now representing
the Equitable Life Insurance Society, of
New York. Mr. Samuel is a gcod business
man, and takes tbe same intense interest iu
life insurance that he did in journalism.
We haye received cards announcing the
marriage on Oct 1st of Miss flappie Day
trotter aud Mr. Homer M c r arlaml, which
occurred at the residence of the bride's par
ents at Hood River. Our kindest congrat
ulation are extended to tbe young people,
for all the happiness possible in tbe mar
riage relation of life.
As a reward for the very valuable assist
ance rendered by the Indians during tne
Condon fire Sunday mgbt, who deserve a
large portion of the credit for saving tbe en
tire town from destruction, J. H Downing
next morning generously presented each of
the large crowd of bucks, squaws and pap
ooses with a sack of flour. A happier lot
of redsKins weie never seen, for these In
dians are never bothered much anyway
with gout, caused from high living.
Moro QbsfTver: We are in receipt of a
sample of fruit from Milt Damon which he
raised on his place northeast ef Moro. The
assortment includes apples, pears and plums
of two different varieties. We never saw
so many plums on one small twig as there
are on the one received. Mr. Damon picked
one hundred pounds of plums from the tree
off which this twig was broken. We are
more convinced than ever that Sherman is
one of tbe best counties in the state lor
fruit raising.-
On Snnday evening last Condon, tbe
county seat of Gilliam county, was visited
by a disastrous connaii:itiou, resulting in a
loss of about $9000. The losses are esti
mated as follows: Western Photograyh As
sociation, $5000; no insurance; C. Glasgow,
$1600; no insurance; G. W. Rinehart,$1000;
no insurance; F. H. Ward, $2000; insur
ance, $1300; J. H. Nelson, $250; no insur
ance; damage from moving property, $300.
It is supposed to have been the work of an
ncendiary.
i A meeting of tbe members of the Third
Regiment band was held last evening, and
it was determined to hold a ball on the 9th
instant for the benefit of the band. The
following committees were appointed: Oo
reception, J. P. Benton, S. D. Fisher, W.
H. Corson and J . Wigle; floor managers, J.
Hertz, W. E. Garretson, Julius Fisher and
W. 8. Graham; caller, C. L. Phillips. -As
this ball is to be given for funds to replace
noiforms and instruments of the band lost
in tbe recent fire, it should be liberally
patronized.
We learn from the Globe that Sheriff Wil
cox and depnty of Gilliam county left for
Salem Tuejday morning with the Indians
who were sentenced to a year each for kill
ing a heifer. Owing to the valuable assist
ance rendered by these Indians and their
relatives in helping to save the town from
fire, a petition was circulated on Monday
and was signed by every citizen in that sec
tion, asking His Excellency. Gov. Pennoyer
to pardon the redskins. The sheriff will
take the petition along and will present it
himself. They will doubtless be pardoned
or the sentences greatly shortened.
It is more fan to see a man read a puff ot
himself in a newspaper than to see a fat
man slip np on a banana peel. The narrow
minded man reads it over seven or eight
times, and then goes aronnd town and steal
appropriates what copies he can. Tbe
kind hearted family man goes home and
reads it to his wife and then pays np hi
dues to the paper. Tbe successful business
man who advertises regularly and makes
money by it immediately starts out to find
the editor and speaks a word of acknowl
edge, and then two men start out of the
sanctum and walk thoughtfully down tbe
street together, and the business man takes
sugar in hiB'n and they both eat a clove or
two and all life is sweeter, and ro-ace like a
gentle dove settles down in their heart
from that moment. Such is the experience
of "seed" as it falls upon different soil.
East Oregonian, Oct. 3d: A dispatch from
La Grande was published in yesterday's
daily regarding a man who fell from a
chair, dead, in a dive in that city. It now
appears that the unfortunate' death was .
caused by a beating administered by the
barkeeper. Two colored youngsters, saloon
"song and dance" artists, who are wanted
at La Grande as witnesses, were taken in
curtody on a telegraphic warrant by the
sheriff here this morning. They say the
man, a new comer, had been treating in tbe
saloon nntil his money ran out and was then
allowed credit by tbe bartender. Toward
morning the latter demanded $3.25, the
drunken stranger refused to pay, and was
Btrnok and knocked down by the bartender,
hi head striking the foot railing of the bar.
He was taken into a back room, came out
again and tried to go outside, but was not
allowed to do so. He then sat down in a
chair, bat soon fell out, rolling upon the
floor. Hs was again removed to the room,
the door locked, and the boys heard those
present say he was dead. Tbe case is now
being investigated.
There cannot be much objection to cows
roaming at large daring tbe night if they
are unencumbered with bells; bnt when
these are added, they are a terrible nuis
ance. In Mr. Geo. Kennan'a article in the
last Century we learn that a bell was exiled
to Siberia because it rang oat a revolution
ary movement in St. Petersburg in 1593,
and if it were possible we would earnestly
advocate that these cow bells be exiled
somewhere; never to be heard again for the
next thousand years. . When one is passing
into the land of dream to be forced to
listen to tbe discordant sounds of the tin
tinnabulations of a bell, "jingled out of
time," is simply horrifying and an outrage
on the constitutional liberty of American
citizens. This must be topped, or red
handed riot will disturb the peace and
quiet of tbis portion of the common wealth.
Never mind the cow let her roam at large,
break down fences, open gates, eat fruit
trees and destroy plants and shrubbery; but
for heaven's sake, confiscate the discordant
bells winch hang pendant from her neck.
An accident which caused John Bemeky,
a Bohemian, to loose his life occurred Tues
day morning on the Lewiston road about
7 miles from Pomeroy. Bemekey was in
the employ of H. A. Conoverand bad
started that morning to haul in a load of
hay. While coming down a steep hill near
Mr. Gilbert's place it is supposed that while
in the act of palling on tbe brake Bemekey
dropped one of the lines, and the horses be
coming nnmanagable turned oat of the road
and upaet the wagon, throwing the unfor
tunate man oat. There was no one present
at the time the accident occurred, but Slier
man Fanning came along shortly afterwards
and hnding .bemekey in a helpless condition
picked him op and brought hun into town,
A physician was at once called and n ex
amination disclosed that Bemeky was so
badly injured tbat recovery waa impossible,
He died Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Bemeky was a new comer and had neither
money nor friends here, but a purse was
made np by our liberal hearted citizens to
bny a coffin and other article necessary to
give him a decent burial. Pomeroy Wash

of remarkable female twins which fortunate
ly lived bat a minute or Jtwo after birtb.
The - corpses of the twins are united in
front from the top of the head to just aboye
the navel, the anion being so complete, as
far aa it extends, that they form essentially
one body. The broad, double head, well
covered with dark hair, is so turned that on
one side there is a doable ear and on the
other side a broad face with a hideous,
somewhat twisted mouth. The legs and
arm hang free and are normal and well
developed.
