Milwaukee, Sept 15 Dispatches tbis
morning from a score of northern Wis
consin cities tell stories of great loss by
forest fires. Marshfield, Junction City,
Dexterville, Prentis, Spencer, Medrord,
Rbinelander. Stevens Point and other
places with a population of 1000 to 6000,
are surrounded bv names, ana in toe
greatest danger of being wiped out
Everything between Daly, Wood county,
and Nectdab. Juneau county, on tbe
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, is burned.
Dexterville is threatened with anniblla
tion. Hundreds of scattered dwellings
known to be in tbe path of tbe flames are
doubtless burr.ed. No loss of life is re
ported.' but that all the settlers in the
burned districts escaped is impossible
Every square mile of tbe vast timbered
district of Wisconsin is as dry as tinder.
Tbe flame 9 are sweeping without check
Tbe losses will doubtless run into tbe
millions. Tbe district already swept by
fire and that threatened id eludes nearly
overbuoebva pall of smoke reaching
T i 1
from Lake Michigan to Lake Superior.
and from tbe extreme eastern border of
tbe state to tbe Mississippi river.
Advice at tue railroad offices here are
to tbe effect that tbe flames bave swept
everything between Babcock and Nece
dah, a distance of twenty miles. Tbe
country is sparsely settled, so tbe damage
is only to timber. Fires are very bad
around Merrill, Pine Ridge, . Heights,
Combs. Danev. Runkle's Mills and Ru
dolph; all small places.
The Deadlock In the House.
Washington. Sept. 15 Tbe battle
over the Tncker bill to repeal the federal
election law was resumed this morns eg,
the Republicans again filibustering
Burrows renewed his motion to dia
pease with tbe call, of the committee in
order to prevent the bill from being re
ported.- A roll-call wag ordered. Reed
walked up and down tbe aisles shaking
bis bead. The Republicans obeyed their
leader and refrained from voting. The
administration Democrats fled to the
cloakrooui- to .avoid answering their
names. Tbe vote resulted: Ares, 1;
noes, 146; no quorum. It developed
a gain of 40 votes for tbe Democrats,
leavmg them 31 sbort of a quorum. A
call of tbe house was ordered. The call
developed tbe presence ot 237 members.
Filibustering was ended by tbe arrival of
tbe time of the special order for eulogies
to tbe late Representative Cbipman, ot
Michigan. A number ot eulogies were
pronouDced.
IN THE SENATE. !
'Washington, Sept. 15 The senate
this morning resumed consideration of
tbe repeal bill. Lindsay of Kentucky,
Democrat, addressed the eenate in sup
port of tbe bill. .
At tbe conclusion of Lindsay's speech.
Morgan of Alabama, Democrat, spoke in
opposition to tbe ..repeal, followed by
Higgins of Delaware, Republican, in fa
vor of repeal.
The exeluslon Question.
Washington, Sept. 15 The action Ot
tbe subcommittee on foreign affairs last
mgbt, in" refusing to. accept G-sary's
amendment providing for absolute means
bTIdebtificnilon by '"photographing or
otherwise, in order to prevent the use of
Chinese register certificates by others,
resulted in a decision ot the Pacific coast
members, led by Geary and White, lo
fight the bill tooth and Dail. It appears,
although tbis identification provision is
deemed essential to the Everett bill tor
an extension of the time for registration,
that .tbe underlying and private reason of
a determination to fight the extension
measure is the fear tbe new law will be
again earned to tbe supreme court. Tbis
would reopen the whole question, and
might result in a decision ot tbe supreme
court that the Geary law is unconstita
tional. Tbe decision by which its con
stitutionality was upheld was only ren
dered by a majority of one in tbe supreme
court. Justice Harlan being absent. He
is now here, and it is feared that in .case
tbe matter should again come before
court tbe former decision would be re
versed. .Geary declares that, while it
may be impossible to defeat the Everett
bill in the bouse iu case the committee
on rules brings it in order, it can be de
feated in tbe senate.
Held np by Boobers.
Hancock, Mich ., SepJ;. '..16 A train
on the Mineral Range railroad was held
up between here and Calumnt Jay three
masked men this morning, and robbed of
$70,000, Calumet & Hecla mine money.
Everything is iu a turmoil. No blood
shed. 7
Tbe Mineral Range . road Is a nairow
gauge, running between Houghton and
Calumet, with several branches. The
Calumet and Hecla mine employs 2009
men, and pays them on tbe 15th of tbe
month. The money today was sent from
Eastern banks. The robbers were evi
dently acnuainted with tbe circumstan
ces. There were four highwaymen; two
covered tbe enginemen, tbe others or.
deeed tbe express messengers to put tbe
contents of tbe safe in a bag wbicb tbe
rpbbers carried . The messenger banded
"out 1570,000. The robbers ordered the en
gineer to go ahead in a hurry, which he
aid. The deed was accomplished so
quickly that the passengers were unaware
of the trouble till after the train bad
started. The light guard and sheriffs are
scouring the country. It is believed the
robbers bad borees near, and a boat at
the lake, to take them accross to Can
ada. '
Jack King, a wrestler, and Jack Ke
hoe, a sport, have been arrested on sus
picion of connection with tbe robbery.
Bombardment Still Goes on.
Boenob Atres, Sept. 15 It is almost
impossible to abtain additional news of
tbe bombardment of Rio Janeiro after
the bombardment of Wednesday. Tbe
authorities at Rio admit tbe damage done
is more seveietban they were a first will
ing to admit. Tbe government no longer
attempts to conceal the tact that a few
people were killed and some buildings
damiged. It is known that numerous
buildings were struck, but whether the
shells were intended for tbe city or for
the arsenal cannot be determined, though
it is known tbe firing was very wild. The
rebel gunboats fired from shelter behind
tbe islands wbicb dot tbe bay. The fire
from tbe fort was ioeflective. Tbe firing
is said to have been resumed yesterday
with about the same results as the day
bstore.
Death in the Flo.,d.
Madrid, S-pt. 15 The province o!
Toledo hub been swept by vinien' storms
Great damage was done to large tracts
and many lives-lost Forty corpses so
tar bave been recovered. Twenty five
miles ot the Southern . railway is sub
merged. Relief trains have been sent
trom various points.
At Villa Can as tbe death roll is said to
be appalling. The peasants sought ref
uge from the waters in caves on the bill
sides fur tbe night. When all were sleep
ing tbe waters rose suddenly, flooded tbe
caves and drowned tbe sleepers. Tbe
Rianzeres is a raging torrent, carrying
death and destruction. The Manzueres is
also flooded, doing much damage. Some
small villages and groups ot bouses were
washed away. Persons escaping :n ooats
were capsized by floating trees and drift
wood and drowned. A number of villa
ges are cut off from the rest of the world.
and death is staring them in tne lace, in
one village onlv eiuht out of sixty-four
are known to have escaped.
Store and Postofflce Bobbed.
Scappoose, Or., Sept. 14 Tbe general
merchandise store of Watts & Price was
burglarized last night. Entrance was
effected by prying open tbe front doors
Tbe cash till in tbe store and tbe stamp
drawer in tbe postoffice were rifled
Fortunately nil money bad been re
moved, and a tew dollars worth ot
stamps was all that was taken. The
burglars drilled a bole in tbe safe, but
tor some reason did not blow it open
Tbe articles stolen from the store were
principally cutlery, men's clothes, band
kerchiefs, and other small articles, such
as could be easily carried away. Tbe
total loss is estimated at $150.

Spokane, Sept, 14 Alderman Charles
L. Knox, of tbe Fifth -ward, wag arrested
today on tbe charge of taking a bribe from

counteoHp.nigbU ,To tbe surprise oXhe.
oaiiona u ulcers, wuo auvocsiea tne ac
ceptation of tbe reduction, it was unfa

a reduction, and many, particularly in
tbe Shonango and Maboning valleys,
want an all-around cat of 20 to 25 per
cent. Tbey will start their mills non.

will be' confronted with tbe greatest
struggle since its formation.

six months in the county chain gang was
passed yesterday upon Mrs. Fannie E.

face, blinding her and leaving ber disfig
ured. Tbe trial attracted much atten
tion. , -

Grant's Pass, Or., Sept 16 Last night
just after midnight an alarm of fire was
sounded, and tbe county jail was discov
ered on fire. Tbe department responded
promptly, but the building, which was a

liberty before tbe fire started, but tbe
origin of tho fire is a mystery. Tbe
county will erect a good brick building
to replace tbe ourned one immediately.

Ouhoco Review Last year there were 10,
500 bushels of wheat ground into flour at
the Prineville mills. This was leas tban
2000 short of the amount required to supply
tbe local demand. If the recent rains have
not materially injured the wheat that was
not threshed, the amount that will be
brought to this market will be nearly
double that of last year, hence there will
he considerable surplus. As there it bo
market for the surplus and there will be a
shortage in the supply of bacon and lard,
why would it not be a good investment for
some one to go to Webfoot and buy up a
lot of hogs to feed the surplus grain to?

Canada thistles are usurping every va- t

no effort has been made to destroy them.
They are a very obnoxious growth, and
should be weeded out. If they could be

Journal: The Gilman-French Land and
Live Stock company has sold 1000 head
of beef cattle to the American Dressed
Keef company of Portland and Troutdale.
The cattle are to be delivered in three
separate lots of a train load each at
Heppner. The boys started to Heppner
Saturday with the first shipment of 340
head, which were received at the Prairie
ranch of the company by Hank Putnam.
Mr. Putnsm will leturn next Monday to
receive the second train load. The price
paid was 2c for steers and lc for
cows, which will average $30 for the
formerand about $18 for the latter.
Last night it rained continuously, and it
is apprehended that thit will damage grain
in stacks. The rain last week did not put
wheat in good condition, and th present
weather will only augment the injury.
Harvesting in this portion of th northwest
is principally performed by heading, and
the head are plaoed in loose piles. Tbi
makes the grain very susceptible to th
effects of moisture, and where it hat not
been threshed tne kernels may spout or be
come mildewed. It if to he boped that tha
larger portiou of the crop hat been threshed
and saoked, and to tbit no damage cau re
sult. We hav beard, from parts of this
county that wheat was thowing injury from
moisture, and it was hoped that dry
weather would follow; but tbe rain last
night and to-day, it is feared, will cause
great lots.
The fall rains came unusually early thit
year, says the Fossil Journal. A tremend
ous amount of rtiu fell during the ten days
ending last Monday, when fair weather set
in. What little grain was not secured re
ceived a thorough soaking, and a good deal
of the grain that rm araclcd in rJ it stacks
preparatory to buiug thrriivi his b en
damaged Howeve-, tun benefit accruing -trom
the rain will far more than off.et the
damage. Rg grass i already several
inchea high, aud pasture and grasing wilt
be exceedingly vooil until wiuter sets in,
which will result in sto.-k being iu the beat
of condition to withstand tie rigr of a
possible hard winter. Fall plowing has a.
ready become general, and the long "In
dian summer" will be u'iliged by tha farm
era in preparing tbe soil for bountiful crop
the coining year for fall sown grain it
never a failure here. The rain hat purified
tne air and averted much sickness and discomfort.
