Millions in Smoke. Milwaukee, Oct. 28. Tbis city was visited to-night by-the most devastating fire in the citv's history. Four lives are certain y lost, and possibly more. Con' servative insurance men estimate the loes at not lets than $6,000,000. The flames, which started in the Union Oil Com pajy'a building on East Waler street, near Detroit street, were tanned by a furious gale which swept eastward to ward the Menominee river. Nothing could slay their resistiees rush. Dyna mite was" used, but without effect Mip-htv billows of flame swept over blocks of buildings, jumped across streets and leaned over the river. Thousands of neonle viewed the grand spectacle. All sorts of conveyances were hurrying about the third ward, loaded with the belong ings of people on whose homes the flames were rushing The entire ure aepart nient was rjoTfcerless. Chicago, Racine and other cities were appealed to lor as sistance, and by 10 o'clock engines and firemen from out of town were beginning to arrive. More than 11 blocks of solid territory, including much of the mostex tensive wholesale district, has been burned over. Nearly 70 buildings, two- thirds of which were frame residences, have iaded into smoke as fast as tissue paper. Died In the Surf. Lisbon, Oct. 28. The Anchor line steamship Boumania, Captain Young, went ashore early yesterday morning at the mouth of the Arnogea, near Penicle, and 113 of the 133 persons on board were lost. The Boumania left Liverpool last Sunday for Bombay. She carried 55 pas sengera, a crew of 67. men, and a full cargo of valuable merchandise. She ex perienced heavy weather from early Mon day morning. Tuesday she ran into a furious storm. . All her passengers were ordered below, and were not allowed on deck again till Wednesday at noon. After a few hours1 clear sailing the Bou mania ran into a tnics log, in aooui vs degrees north latitude. She proceeded at half speed, and, it is supposed, well out from the coast. A violent storm came on after she bad been several hours in the fog. When it struck her, the Bou mania was but a few miles from shore. The ship made little progress, and the captain was unable to keep her bow to trie wind. She went on the rocks almost without warning, for, up to the last few minutes, the ship's officers did not realize their peril. Heavy seas broke over the hip's deck, and many of the passengers. who ran up from below in a panic, were swept overboard and drowned. ' '. ' .. I A Cabinet Place for Vlllard. Washington, Oct. 28. In to-day's issue ot the .Mew York nun, trie organ supporting Cleveland for president, it was stated that Henry Villard will be assigned to the position of secretary of the interior under the new administration. This is considered likelv bv a number of other papers in New York, also. Mr. Villard's enterprise, the Northern Pacific railroad, has received a good many un favorable decisions by the interior de partment under Hajriaon, whose ap poii tees almost invariably decide in favor of the settlers and against the company. In view of tbis tact, it is more than likely that tbis place will receive very favorable consideration frnm Mr. Villard, who will then control matters himself. Terrible Expionion. Lima, 0 Oct, 28. Fifteen hundred pounds ot nitro-glycerine belonging to the' High Explosive Company let go this morning two miles west of town, The shock was terrific, and was felt 20 miles. Buildings shook like leaves, and many windows were broken. Killed: 'Andy Scbute, Benjamin Dowling and Henry Tecbafnel. Two others are miseing, and probably the bodies are in the wreck. Injured: Tom Matien, fatally; Ben Dowe, leg blown off; William Potter not seriously ; and a servant girl in a farm house 1800 feet away, which was wrecked by the force ot the explosion. A farm house nearly a mile away was shattered, and plate glass three miles off broken. . The Case to be Fought in Court. Boisb City, Oct. 28. Tim Regan, whose Stoddart mine at DeLaror was par tially blown up by a gang of men Mon day night, has returned to the scene of the trouble. His counsel has adviied him to ignore the blowing up ot the mine, repair the damage, and continue its development. He says the DeLamar Company has threatened that if be con tinues to work bis mine it will file an in junction against bim, Tbis he is anxious for them to do, as be will test the matter in court, and, should he beat them, be can make them pay a heavy amount in damages. . Regan has a guard in the mine night and day. The Strike Slay be Averted. London, Oct. 28. The impression is growing -in Lancashire that the threat ened strike of the cotton spinners wili be averted. It is asserted negotiations look-. ing to an arbitration of the question in dispute -were instigated by the Federa tion - of Master Cotton-Spinners upon finding there is little disposition among the members of the federation to adopt a lockout in view of tbe improved con dition of tbe market. The whole trouble in Lancashire appears to lie in the fact that in tbe United States and India cotton-spinning has so increased that there is not employment for all tbe Lancashire spindlers. V Too Much Lynch Law. Atlanta, Gs., Oct. 28 Gov. North ern, in his annual message to tbe legists, ture, takes grounds against tbe crime of lynching. He allades to cases where persons in custody of the sheriff have been captnred and killed by lawless as semblages. He recommends the enact ment of laws to clearly define tbe duties of sheriffs, which will include the sum moning of posses when necessary to as sist them in arresting and holding vio lators of tbo peace ; also the passage of laws inflicting penalties upon persons who refuse to assist the sheriffs when called upon. A Collision on a Bridge. Terbe Haute, Ind., Oct. 28. A ter rible collision between two Big Fonr freight trains occurred tbis morning on the Wabash' river bridge bere. The shock broke tbe bridge and piled the two engines and a dozen car;, several loaded with livestock, into tbe water beneath. Engineer Weslry Allison, ot tbe east bound train, lies dead beneath his engine. Two other trainmen were hurt I - - A Fire In Sao Francisco. San Francisco, Oct. 28. An unfin ished two-story bnuse being built for George W. Meade, commission merchant, at a cost ot $30,000, was totally destroyed by fire early tbis morning. Tbe origin of tbe fire is unknown. ' Pueet Bonnd Span in Demand. ' Vancouver, jJ. C. Oct. 28. Thomas Bent ley, of tbe timber firm of Bent ley & Fleming, of Halifax, N. S., is bere and has purchased a cargo of spars amount ing to 800,000 feet. A ship has been chartered shortly to convey them and also a quantity of cedar for bouse -fiuish ing. Hitherto the firm has purchased its spars lrom Boston dealers who got them from Puget Sound by rail. Flemming found it cheaper to get tbem direct from bere. several Firemen Badly Bart. Cleveland, Oct. 28. Fire tbis morn ing destroyed the mantel ansi grate ware bouse of A. Teachout and a number of near-by establishments. Loss, $150,000. Several firemen, caught under a falling wall,-were severely hurt, one fatally Atlantic's Victims. - Lisbon. Oct. 29. The Anchor line steamer Boumania, from Liverpool to Bombay, which was wrecked yesterday off Cape Carvonaire, is now breaking up and the cargo is being washed ashore, It has been learned that but of a total of 133 persons, passengers and crew, on board, only seven were saved. There are no life-saving appliances in the vicinity of tbe wreck, aud if there bad been it very doubtful if they could have heen used in the teeth of tbe gale blowing at the nme. It amounted almost to a hurri cane, and was accompanied by a tre mendouslv high sea. . several bodies in nearly nude condition have been washed ashore, and tbe tact that they were un clothed is taken to indicate that many people on board were in their berths when the steamer struck aud had no chance to save themselves. Tbe sea is still so high it is impossible to tell tbe condition of the wreck, but the fact that much light cargo floated out of her and came ashore would indicate tnat ber decRS at least mast be gone. So soon as the news of the wreck spread, great crowds of people, many of tbem from places a considerable distance inland, gathered -along tbe shore and seized tbe wreckage as it came to land. Two men saw something in the water that they hought would prove a valuable prize. They rushed into the surf to seize it, and as they were about to grasp it, they were picked up by a receding wave and car ried out into the deep water and drowned. Milwaukee's Fire. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 29. The work to day is one of relief and deyising plans to succor the unfortunate people who lost their homes by tbe fire. Churches and public buildings have been thrown open to accommodate them temportrily, while every society aud organization in tbe city is maturing plans for immediate relief. Tbe candidates on one of tbe congres. siooal and county tickets started tbe sub senptions last night, while tbe fire was yet raging, with a cash contribution of $5000. At a meeting of tbe chamber of commerce a general relief committee was organized this morning to forward tbe work, and subscriptions began to pour in from tbe citizens who were in attendance.' EXTENT OF THE SUFFERING. An accurate count 10 night shows there were 465 buildings burned and 8G5 fami lies rendered homeless. Residents of tbe ward familiar with its population say the families will average seven persons each. It is a conservative estimate to say 2500 persons are homeless. As most of their buiidiogs were uninsured, these people have met with almost a total loss and are distitute. The business district devas tated is an important one, embracing many wholesale houses. The total loss by the fire is now estimated at abont $!, 000,000, with an insurance of about $3,250,000, divided among abont 175 companies. Born on a Boat. Spokane, Wash., Oct. 29. Wednesday last, while the steamer Columbia, Captain George master, was on 'her way from Little Dalles to Revelstokc, a baby girl was born to Mrs. Halliday, one of tbe passengers. Tbe event was tbe first of its kind which ever occurred on board a steamer on the upper river, and the offi cers, crew and passengers made up purse of $70, which tettimouia! was pre sented to the parents to be invested for tbe child- Tbe officers of tbe boat re quested that tbe child be named after tbe vessel, and tbe bishop of New Westmin ster, who was aboard, christened her Col umbia Laetta Halliday. The parents of tbe infant are from the Palouse country, on their way to the new lands being opened up in Canada, near Calgarry. - REPENTED TOO LATE. ' Charles Cummings, a colored porter iu tbe Cobweb saloon, took 10 grains of strychnine to night and died in Convul sions soon alter.

It ia the only sa loon there. . - CHILD CRUSHED TO DEATH. May Elizabeth Moore, 9 years old, who ,was thrown under a furniture wagon Thursday, died to-day.

Tbe wagon overturned and a heavy bureau fell on her,' crushing ber chest and breaking several ribs. Smallpox in Coqullle.

Chicago, Nov. 1 About 1:30 this morning fire was discovered in tbe new building of tbe Chicago Athletic Associa tion on Michigan avenue, near Madison street.
