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.

with livestock, into tbe water beneath.
Engineer Weslry Allison, ot tbe east

' 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

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. -

CHILD CRUSHED TO DEATH.
May Elizabeth Moore, 9 years old, who
,was thrown under a furniture wagon
Thursday, died to-day. Tbe cause of tbe

building of tbe Chicago Athletic Associa
tion on Michigan avenue, near Madison

does not look as though the bridge was dan
gerous. Dufur Dispatch: We are informed that

hia way toward Wapinitia.- The following

was probably him. A reward of $250 would
