DeDtroyed by Fire.
Winnipeg, May 1. Sixteen or eight
een buildings.coveriDg nearly three acres,
were burned at 2 o'clock this morning by
a fire which started under the stage o
the Princess opera bouse. The flames
spread with frightful rapidity, and as
the water works were closed down for re
pairs, the hydrants were useless and the
tire bnrned itself cut. Among the places
destroyed were McGregors uvery, with
thousands of dollars' worth ot harness
and all the wagons ot the Dominion Ex
press Company ; Fiost & Wood's agri
cultural implement warehouse, Green's
feed store, Bait's grain war. house, six
private residences and two other stables,
besides a carriage repair shop and the
Salvation Army barracks. The Grand
Union hotel was in imminent danger, but
the firemen, aided by a favorable wind,
saved the structure. An "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" company lost everything. Proc
tor's opera bouse is also a heavy loser.
The total losses are heavy, but cannot be
estimated. The insurance appears to be
light.
Food fur the Russiars.
Washington, May 1. The Russian
famine relief committee of tbn United
States has issued a circular to the people
ot the Pacific slope, noting with pleasure
the beginning of a movement among the
great communities for sending relief ships
for the iamine sullerers in Kussia, direct
ly from the western side of the continent.
and reaching southern Russia via Suez
and the Dardanelles. The Bending of the
relief ships from the eastern and western
coasts would, the committee thiokf, be a
spectacle tor the admiration of the civil
ized world, weaving thua in nnisou the
bright ribbon of Christian charity aroucd
the whole earth. - In order that the Pa
cific movement may oe m thehtuhest
degree successful, tiie comrrittee has. in
voked the aid ot the state authorities,
mnnicipalities sod thesucial and charita
ble associations, the ck-rgv and the ;:refs
of the Pacific slope.

San Fkancisco, May 1. The cruiser
Cliarlesion tlipi e i into the harbor soon
alter noon vest 'id ly. The steamer left
fan Diego Tburs-Jay and made the run
up in fifty, hours. Her arrival here was
quite unexpected and be stay in port will
be rather short, as she will leave lor As-
tona Wednesday. She 'only calitd here
for a supply of coal, and is on her way to
the Columbia river to take part in the
celebration of its opening at Astoria. Tlie
Baltimore will also go to Astoria from San
Dugo..and as she has lots of coal on
board, she will not call here on her way
north. From the officers o! the Charles
ton it was learned the cruiser Boston was
to leave San Diego for San Francisco at
11 o'clock Saturday morning and will be
here early Monday morning.
Valuable Horses Burned.

brated Fairlawn stables, the property of
Smith McCann, were entirely destroyed
by fire to-oigbt. It was one of the finest
stock 6tables in the United States. Kme -teen
horses were in the stable, and eleven
were burned to death. Among the num
ber were two full sisters to Phil Thomp
son, valued at $5,000 each; two Red
Wilke3 fillies aud a Robert McGregor
colt.' There was no insurance on the
horses. The property was insured for
half its value. The total loss amounts to
$35,000. The fire was the work of incen
diaries. .
The.ftrouklyn Fire.
Sew York, May 1. The fire in Brook
lyn this morning was not so fatal in its
results as was at first supposed. Mrs.
Tuft and five of her children were res
cued with difficulty, as stated in this
morning's early dispatches. Of the other
cbildreo, Mildred, aged 8, was rescued
badly burned; Benjamin, aged 11, was

Daring Kobbery.
Bakes City, Or, May 1. Particulars
of a daring robbery committed last night
at Sparta, thirty miles from the city, were
received this morning at 8 o'clock. Five
masked men entered Clough's store and

tor, with pistols. They then ordered the
safe opened. Tbey secured upwards of
$300 in money and gold dust. Among

bers are supposed to be the fire highway

cape. A Horrible Death. -

by a broken brake. A west-bound train

Flaying; Tram Bobbers. .
Umatilla, Or., May 1 Two farmer
boys, who were bunting jack-rabbits, near
Echo, yesterday, played what might have
been a serious joke on the trainmen of
train No. 7 this afternoon. Since the at
tempted train robbery near La Grande a
few days ago, the engineers have been on
the lookout for train robbers. As No. 7
rounded the curve, Engineer Bailey was
startled at the sight of two shotguns lev
eled at him. He pulled the throttle open,
and as they flew by the boys dropped
their guns and waved their. hats.
, Accidentally Killed. '
Gervais, Or, May 2 A prominent
citizen and an old pioneer of French
Prairie was accidentally killed this morn
ing by being ran over by tbe Roseburg
local at Gervais. E. S. Gregoire tried to
board tbe Roseburg mail at 11 o'clock,
while tbe train was at tbe depot. He
was on tbe first step and was about to
brace himself up when he slipped and
fell between tbe wheels just as the train
started. Having only one arm he was
unable to catch himself. He was almost
instantly killed. His legs were Slashed
into a jelly, and his body was badly cut
up. He died in thirty minutes. Tbe
coroner was cailed. but no inquest was
held as no blame is attached to any one.
and there was a number of eye witnesses
to the accident. Mr. Gregoire resides
about five miles west of Gervais. He
was an old pioneer, 57 years of age and
was born near Frasier river in British
Columbia.
Gregoire was the political laader ot the
French people in this section. He -was
an active Reoublicao and a veteran ot
the Indian war of 1855. He leaves an
estate valued at $15,000. His wife, a ion
and a daughter survive him.
Chinese Mestrletion.
Washington, May 2. The conferees
on the Chinese exclusion bill reached an
agreement on the basis of the bill as it
passed the senate, but with certain im
portant additions insisted upon by the
house conferees. As agreed upon, the
bill is practically a re-enactment for ten
years of the existing law, with the follow
ing additional provisions:
No Chinese person is to be released on
bail pending action on a writ of habeas
corpus. All Chinese laoorers in me
United States are to be compelled to od-
tain registration certihcates. ana all per
sons other than laborers may apply for
such certificates, for which no charge will
be made. This feature of the law is to
be carried out under the direction of the
internal revenue bureau of the treasury
department The forging of certificates
will be punishable by imprisonment for
hve years. All Chinese persons wno at
tempt to come into the country unlaw
fully are to be imprisoned for one year
and then remanded to Cnina.
Senator Sherman and Representative
Hitt did not sign the conference report,
but it is understood thev have agreed
not to make a fight against its adoption.
Geary, who has the bill in charge on the
part of the house conferees, said to-night
he expects the report will be adopted Dy
both the senate and house to-morrow,
and that the bill will go to the president
for his signature to-morrow night. ,
The Volvllle Reservation Bill.
Washington, May 2. To-day was
suspension day, and the bill was passed
without a dissenting vote. . The fact is,
Wilson has "legged" around and seen
nearly every kicker in the house andTby
his earnest talk has convinced the mem
bers that his bill was a meritorious meas
ure, and that had- more to do with its
unanimous adoption than anything else.
The bill has now to eo to the Indians
for ratification of the modifications made
bv coneress. The commission which
treated with the Colvilles provided too
largely for appropriations and made it
impossible to get the bill through con
gress. I he modifications in the present
bill reduced the actual appropriation to
$41,000, which is for the purpose of car
rvine the bill into effect, and then as fast
as the lands are opened up and sold, the
money is to be set aside as a fund for the
tribes on the reservation. The bill will
open up 1,500,000 acres of land to settle
ment Of course, it must yet go through
the senate, but as both Squire and Allen
are ready to take it up, there is little
doubt of its speedily becoming a law. So
soon as it passes the senate and is signed
by the president, Representative Wilson,
accompanied by an expert from the In
dian office, will leave for .Washing
ton and endeavor to secure the as
sent of the Indians to the modifications in
the new bill, and also to show them how
their rights, even to the modification
treaty, have not been neglected.
The Seal Fisheries.
Washington, May 2. The secretary
of the navy has issued instructions to the
naval and revenue marine vessels as
signed to enforce the modus vivendi,
prohibiting sealing in Behring sea. These
instructions differ from last year's, in
three important particulars:
First Any vessel found sealing in
Behring sea is to be seized, whether she
has been previously served with a notice
or not '
Second The mere presence of a ves
sel in Behring sea, . having on board a
sealing outfit, is cause for seizure.
Third Persons on lioard the vessels
seized will be sent as prisoners with the
vessel to suffer the penalty of the law.
Under the British law, all persons kill
ing, or aiding, or abetting in the killing
of fur seals in the Behring sea, are pun
ishable by a fine of $500 and imprison
ment at hard labor for six months. Un
der the American law thev are subject to
six months' imprisonment and a fine of
fioo.
Takima Whiteeaps, .
North Yakima, April 29. For some
time past complaint has been made to the au
thorities that a Chinaman has on several oc
casions conducted himself improperly before
little schoolgirls. Yesterday the culprit was
arrested and placed in the city jail. There
was much deep feeling over the outrage, and
about II o'clock last night a band of about
fifty or sixty men organized for the purpose of
dealing with the celestial. A strong commit
tee of their number stopped the night watch
man, and, flashing revolvers in his face, de
manded the keys of tne jail, which he yielded
up. They then took the Chinaman to the
city limits, stripped him of his clothing, and
with a blacksnake gave him an unmerciful
beating; They then told him to go, admon
ishing him that if he ever returned to Yakima
his life would not be spared. No effort is
being made to punish the law-breakers, senti
ment generally favoring the whiecaps, as they
are Ued. ,
Another Shakeup.
San Francisco, April 29. At 4:10 this
afternoon a slight earthquake shock was felt
here, but no damage was done. At Winters
the shock lasted five seconds, and the people
were generally frightened. ' Mrs. R. Morri
son has her ankles sprained by jumping. At
Napa the quake was short and sharp, but did
no damage. At Vacaville a heavy shock
caused a temporary suspension of work on re
pairs. Timid people continue to live in tents.
The earthquake was also felt at Grass Valley,
Marysville, Benicia, Stockton and Haywards.
Belief for the Mexicans.
Corpus Christi, Tex., April 29. The
distribution of food sent from this section to
famine sufferers on the Rio Grande in the Rio
Grande City section began yesterday, when
rations were issued to 500 people, some of
whom were actually starving. Unless further
assistance is soon had, many sufferers will die.
The greatest distress is reported from tne
country back of the Rio Grande, where there
are many people who had hundreds of cattle
before the drouth, but are now destitute, their
stock having died. ;
A Railroad .Engineer Drowned.
ASTORIA, Ore., April 20. Fred. Atkins,

return to California in time for tbe fall
shearing. Every one of them can shear
over 100 sheep a day, tbey find employment
almost the year round, and they earn on an
average $0 a day and board, which gives
them an annual income of between $1500
and $2000. yet when one of tbem comes out
ahead at tbe end ot the yean he is looked
npon as an exception. They have lota of

Central Office Portland, Oregon. Crop
Weather Bulletin, No. S, for veek ending
Saturday, April SO, 1891: '
Throughout Oregon, the rains during
April have been in excess ot the normal
amount Tbe total amount has varied from
over four inches in the Willamette valley to
two inches and over in Southern and East
ern Oregon. Snow has fallen on the mount
ains and higher elevations at frequent inter
vals. The rains have penetrated the soil,
and it is now more thoroughly .moistened
than it has been for years. Water stands
on the low lands of the Willamette valley.
Temperature has been from two to four de
grees below tbe normal for the month. This
deficiency is apparent in every section of
the state from the retarded condition of
vegetation. The season is folly four weeks
late. Frosts occurred with unusual fre
quency and they did slight damage to the
fruit interests. A severe wind and rain
storm, one of the most severe on record, oc
curred on the 24 ;h. There has been a
marked deficiency in sunshine, and an ex 1
cesa in the number of cloudy and rainy ,
days. The weather has delayed spring
seeding and farming operations in general.
It has been unfavorable to shearing and
lambing; the latter has been very successful,
however, fully 85 per cett. of the lambs be
ing saved. The wool clip is unusually '
good, tbe staple being long and remarkably
clean. The acreage of grain is as large as -ever
before and considerable is yet to be
sown; that which is sown is in first-class
condition, except in a few places on the low
lands of the Willamette valley. The wheat
has a good stand and has stooled well
Though the season is late, yet vegetation is
healthy and offers bright prospects. ;
WKSTEBN OREO.ON.
Weather Continued cloudy and rainy
weather, with cool temperature, bave pre
vailed. On the 24th a severe wind and
rain storm was experienced, especially along
the coast and in the Willamette valley. The
storm was almost as severe as the great
storm of January 9, 1880. The total rain
fall varied from 2 inches at Portland to .50
of an inch iu Southern Oregon. Snow fell
on the mountains. Fronts were experienced -
ou the 25ih, 26tb, 27th aud 2Sth in various ,
sections. Thunder storm and bail prevailed
on the 25th and 28th in tbe valley. ' '
Crops But little farm work was done
during the week. Seeding was practically
at a standstill. Winter wheat on lowland
is turning yellow; on uplands it is growing
nicely. Hopi are a foot or more high. The
wind storm on the 21th blew most of tho
fruit bloom off from the trees. Prunes are
reported injured by frost at Dayton, apples
injured at Williams. ' . , .

Cioudyand cool weather have prevailed dur

what, but is yet below the average. The
wind storm of tbe 24th was experienced
more or less. Tbe rainfal) for tbe week ,
varied from .30 to .90 of an inch.
Crops The spring seediug has progressed
considerably, yet in localities it ha, been
delayed. Winter wheat is from 20 to 30
inches high snd spring wheat is in many
localities from 6 to 15 inohes high. ' Ibe
most'excellent crop prospect prevail, and
generally the acreage of grain, is larger than
before. Sheep shearing and lambing con
tinue; from 75 per cent to 95 per osnt of '
lamb are being saved. Warmth and sun
shine are now needed throughout Oregon to
develop and bring forth yogetation. At
this time of the year the prospects were
never better for a successful grain crop.
