Battle Cbeek. Mien.. Oct. 20 A frightful wreck and holocaust occurred early this moraing on the Giand Trunk road a mi!o and one half from thia city, in which thirtT five lo forty lost their lives and scores are maimed. An east bound special train, loaded with return ing world's fair passengers, came in col lision head-on with a west-bound passen eer. causing a disastrous smash-up. The wreck look fire, and many of the woun ded pinned beneath the broken timbers and twisted iron were burned to death The responsibility for the accident is said to rest with Conductor Scott sua .u gineer Wooley, of the east-bound train, who disobeyed orders by not stopping at Michois to let th3 weal-bound pass Twenty-four dead bodies have been ai ready taken from the lulus, all terribly ''timed end unrecognizable. The killed, as far as known, are nil eas'ern people luree couches ol the east-bound train burned comp etily up, It is supposed lully as m;ny ure stili in thn urrei'lt aa rmve lif.n thkn fin:. Fully forty were severely, if not fatally, injured Th....l.Ui,.H i.n a.-.. - Rm mr! Whilcomb excursion returning from Ciii cago, loaded wilh passengers from New York and Boston. The loss of life was id the west-bound train, not the eaa- bouod special as at first reported. Both tngincs were badl? wrecked, also tne bacgai'e car of the easlhouod tram; but the rest of it, being made up ot sleeper?, withstood the shoes and nooody in them was hurt. SOME FRIGHTFUL SCENES, Tte west-bound trsin wig made up of thirteen da; coaches, four of which com p'etclj telescoped each other, and it was here the most frightful scents were wit neo&ed, as the cars at once caught fire lrom the lamps and were consumed. The tram men saved tueruse'ves by jumping, except Conductor Burk of toe wes - bound train, who was caught between tne cars and badly hurt. Most of the deaths occurred iu one car, which was 'e (.scoped by those in front and behind it in suuh a way as to pen the passengers in like rats in a trap. The accident was a mile from a fire btalioo, and before water could be turned on and firemen get to work the cars were consumed. Twenty-five bod ies were taken from this car alone as soon as the fire was out Nearly a-l had tlieir beads, arms or legs burned off and were unrecognizable. They wete mostly piled up in one end of the car. where they were shoved bv the telescoping of lh curs. Only eight or ten (.scaptd from this car. A horrible sight was that of Mrs. Charles Van Dustn, of Fort Plain, N. Y, who got baif way out of the window, but her legs got fittiiciied so that those wboran lo her " assistance could cot rescue her and she was burned to death before thttr eyes . In the Senate. Washington, Oct. 20 Voorbees gave notice of en amendment to the rules to the effect that when a bill or resolution pending as unfinished business shall Nave been debuted 30 days any . senator may more to Ox a timo lor taking a vote thereon. Such motion shall not be amendable nor debatable, and if pased tbe pending bill or reso'ution shalf be voted on at the time fixed. Morgan, by reqtKst, introduced a bill to laciiitate the collection of debts pay able to tbe United States from govern" meat aided railroad's and to enforce the accountability of the directors of said companies The senate then went into executive session. At 1:30 P. M tbe senate was still in executive session considering nomina tions, chiefly those to which there were objections Tbe general impression is that the executive session is lor tbe pur pose of a'lnwirjg time to arrange tbe terms of the compromise bill and for bearing the result of the cabinet meeting today. A majority of tb9 Democratic senators speak of compromieo as an as sured fact. The Chinese Wilt Bents tor Washington, Oct. 20 The president has sent to the senate in executive session a message transmitting tbe report ot tbe secretary of state in reply to Dolph's res olution of inquiry concerning the atti tude of China in regard lo the extension of time for the registration of- Chinese laborers. The report says: ''While tbe. government of Cbina has not formally reqoested that tbe time for registration provided lor in the Weary law beex- tended, and no for mil assurance has been given that if extended tbe Chinese lab orers in tbe United States will take out certificates as provided by the net, tba Cmnese minister has repeatedly asserted in conlerences with the undersigned tnat bis countrymen residing in the United States at tbe time ot the passage of the act on tbe advice of eminent counsel and in good faith refrained from registering within the time allowed, and that it would be unjust to deny them another opportunity to register. Tbe minister has more than once given assurance that an additional opportunity to register would afford "bis government great satis faction. Another Horror la Npokane. Spokane, Oct. 19 A little before 9 o'clock this evening a terrific explosion shook tbe business center ol the city. A minute later flumes burst out in a frame store on Howard, between Sprague and First streets. Tberc bad been a gas ex plosion in tbe dye works of C L Trotter, which quickly set fire to that building and tbe book store of Henry Feise. In the book store at tbe time were half a dozen persons. Mrs. William Beam was caught in the debris and burned to death in view of those trying to save ber. One man tried bard to pull away tbo wreck, hut was finally driven back by the flames. Miss Ruth Turner and two men and a boy were injured. One of tbe men was pinnet) by falling timbers. Miss Turner and the others climbed out at a window and appealed to tbe crowd to help out the imprisoned victim, but tbe fl lines were spreading so rapidly that no one conld respond. Later tbe police and firemen broke into the wrecked building and removed the body of Mrs. Beam. It is feared that other lives may have been lost in tbe dye works, but the p'ace is so wrecked 'by tbe explosion and fire that this uncertainty may not be cleared be fore morning Windows were oroken for blocks nronnd. The proDerty loss will he between 5000 and $10 000. Tbe death of Mrs. Beam was attended with heartrending circumstncei. Albert S. Smith, who was in tbe book store at the time of the explosion, exerted superhu man t-fforts to release ber. Mealwhile Miss Turner was on the street appealing to the men to go tn and help save the noman. When Mrs. B-am saw that res cue whs nut of the question, she gave larewe I message? tn ber husband and children. Mr Smith then fled for bis own life, and oot a moment too soon. At he door be met the firemen, but ti e flimes drove the latter back. A Walla Walla Jawyer Under Arrest. Genesee, Idaho, Oct. 19 Last mgbt Deputy United States Marshal Renshaw arrested, on a charge ot larceny, Thomas Page, a lawyer, of Walla Walla, and took him to Moscow today. Tbe arrest 1 is shrouded in mystery. Rumor says tbe charge came from PendletOD, and that there is motive other than that given for the arrest. Page is well known all over eastern Washington, as having been prominent tn preventing the early con summation of the Nez Perce treaty. He also has large areas of land rented on the Umatilla and Nez Perce reservations. concessions being granted because of the Indian blood in b:s veins. Lost tn the Mountains Drain, Or., Oct. 19 R S.

Tbe coroner's jury re turned a verdict today charging Cbarlts Trotter, proprietor of the cleaning works where tbe fire originated, with arson, and be was immediately arrested.

A Hotel Burned. Chehalis, Wash., Oct. 21 Tbe St. James hotel, west of tbe railroad, caught tire this morning about 5 o'clock and was completely destroyed. It is not known bow tbe bre originated; but tbe supposi tion is that a lighted lamp left in tbe room of one of tbe lodgers set fire to a curtain. The blaze spread with great rapidity, as tbe structure was of wood. It was witb great difficulty that tbe siKt'piog children of tbe landlord, Mr. I'-tyior, were taken from tbe beds.

ITFMS IN BRIEF From Saturday's Daily. The sidewalks are becoming covered with fallen leaves. W'e are informed that scarlet fever is pre vailing at Cascade Locks. Mr. E. Coke Hill, ot Seattle, Wash., is registered at tbe Umatilla House. Mr. C. F. Patterson, inspector of tbo Western Unien Telegraph Co., of Portland, s in the city.

Beers, who was afflicted with paralysis Tharsday is still very sick. 11 is condition has improved bat little. Mr. R. G.

Several members nf the Masonic frater nity left te-day lor Goldendale, where they will act with resident Masons in conferring tbe master degree on ao applic.nt. The rock-crasher is at work in the cat, grinding up the stones that threaten to fall on the roadway. This will be work to some d vantage, as tbe removal of these rocks will improve one of oar thoroughfares. The Ea t End, this morning, was literally blockaded by wheat wagons, anil any vein cle would have the greatest difficulty to pass. Wheat from the smrouading country is pouring into the city in large quantities. Portland has enjoyed three days of sua bine, and the local papers are boasting about "perfect weather and italiau skies." But this did not continue long, for by appearances, the people have been del uged with a webfoot mist to day. Mr. S. Lister, the clerk at the Warm Springs Indian agency, has a number of wai003 in tne city loading witn supplies. The teaui3 are driven by ladians, aad soun as loaned, will proceed to their desti- catioii. During tbe re gn of Henry VIII 71,100 persons were legally executed in England, the larger portion of whom were guilty of no offense worse than misdemeanor. In one year three hand ed starving beggars were banged for asking alms. Mr. Jos. Southwell brought to the office this morning a seedless pear, whuh was produced by a tree in his orchard. Ha says he had a dozen of them thia year, and these are the first he has ever seen. This is the first year the tree has ever had fruit on it. Antorian: lie v. Dr. Bushong visited tho condemned murderers Wednesday. He cays that Hansen is fully alive to tbe enormity of the crime, but that Reiter is absolutely callous, and evidently has the hope of being saved from tho hangman. He is not at all haaoted by the memory of his horrible crime. Ia this country 2500 women are' practic ing medicine, Zio preaching the gospel, more than six thousand managing post- otliee?, and over three million earning inde pendent incomes. Since I sail the patent office has granted over 2500 patents to wo men, and in New York city 2700 women support their husbands. A Canyon Citv dispatch say?: In the case of Joe Cumbs vs. the Living Issue, at John Day. the grand jury returned a true bill of indictment for libel against Bailev Duttia. John C. Luce and N. C. Burleigh. This was a personal attack against Sheriff Com hi character. Luce, Dustin and liu leigh were admitted to $500 I ail. Tbe tax levy of Yakima county for state and county purposes ia 24 mills. Residents of North Yakima will in addition pay a city tax of 10 and a school tax of 5 mills. No wonder the Republic says: "What a pleas urable tenaation it will be, to be sure, to pay 39 mills, almost 4 per cent, upon prop erty assessed at a little over one-third val uation. There are wagons all over the city with horses attached thai are not securely fast ened, and acoideuts are liable to bappeo at any moment. A passing locomotive may frighten a team, aad cause them to run away. To prevent suuh occurrences the greatest care should be used that anitnnU are securely fattened and cannot tat.il y break loose. There was one individual last night who received the tender care of the police force for being drunk and disorderly on the streets, and v as placed in the city jail as a sanitary measure. He tame before the re corder this morning in a very sober state of mind and paid to and costs and regained his freedom. The next time be visits the city he may be a wiser man. The conclave of Masons who went to Goldendale, Wash., to-day, consisted of tbe following members of Wasco lodge, A. F. & A. M. of this city: W McCrura, R G Closter, J H Harper, G W Runyan, I 1 Burgett, J M Marden, C Van Norden, C Dietzel, W E Garretaon, F J Clark.xEd, Phirman, J A Crossen, H Horn, Geo.' A Lit be, Geo. C. Blakely. Tbe steamer Hassaloii now running be tween Portland and Bonneyille under the management of Messrs. Marshall ft Bailey. They leave Portland Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 8 o'clock and re turning leave Bonneville Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday mornings at 7 o'clock. Th s is a very convenient route for the peo ple along the river and is appreciated very much. It ia announced that the world's fair will not close on the last day of October, but will be kept open as long as the weather will permit, which will be until Thanks giving day, or, possibly, the last of Novem ber. So many people bave postponed their visit to the great exposition until the pres ent month that it is believed the attend ance will be great enough after tbe first of November to warrant keeping the fair open for several weeks. It is estimated that ten per cent of the new wheat going into Tacoma from Eastern Washington and Oregon is damaged so badly that it will be unfit for milling pur poses.

It is not likely that any particu lar method of treatment will be agreed on, so those 500 politicians who would like to pose aa 500 statesmen will probably get disgusted with themselves and each other and scatter to their homes.

Looking throngb tbe jail door to-day we saw an Indian comfortably lying on the floor, we presume, fast asleep Un doubtedly he bad been indulging his ap petite for artificial stimulants, and im bibing too freely had found himself in the bands ot our police force, who placed him "where the wicked cease from troub ling and tbe weary are at rest."

Dallas Observer: Polk county "gets there" when it comes to hops Her crop has more than doubled in the past year. We can now claim the second hop county in tbe state. As compiled from reports of our hopmen, the estimated number of bales this season is 6365, as against 3000 bales last year. Basel on the general average of 180 pounds to the bale gives a grand total 1,145,700 pounds; at 18 centa per ponnd tbe crop would call for $206, 226. Verily, no little sum for tbe Polk, county bop growers. We bave beard it estimated from a per son who is acquainted with tbe situation tbat from 400,000 to 500,000 bushels ot wheat have been damaged by the late rains in Sherman county. Where sacks have been exposed to the weather tbe grain is not saleable. This is a heavy blow on tbe farmers of this portion of Eastern Oregon, aa tor the past three or tour years they have been very unfortunate in their harvests. The highest prices paid at the railroad stations bave bgen 37 and 38 cents, and this hardly pays for seed and the expenses of harvesting and threshing.

He stated, however, tbat he would, daring tbe coming state campaign, offer his services to the campaigo. committee oi the Populist party and stump tbe state in advocacy of tbe principles of that party. Tbe governor en tertains hopes tbat the Populists will be strong enough to rule the roost, and in the next legislature be in practical control.

Hooker bad passed throagb Antelope two days before Edwards reached there and was bound for Southern Oregon. The deputy sheriff, thinking he oould head his game off quicker by rail, returned to Heppner and will take the train tor the southern counties. None of Hooker's cred itors were crowding him and there was no excuse for him trying to bilk them out of what he owed them. Herald: Four young boys of Albany, sons of leading oitiiens, started south Fri day. Two ot them had gone out hnnting, and met the other two who had decided to become bold pirates on the road or some thing worse, and all four decided to start on a tramp. They kept on until the sign ou the railroad bridge over the Calapooia warned them that footmen were not allowed thereon, when they came to a halt, not dar ing to go any farther. They will probably return home and meekly submit to an ap plication ot shingle wielded by parental hands for their benefit.

In that walk he covered 82 miles every eight hours consecutively each day until the thousand miles were completed. Mr. Taylor, notwithstanding his racing record, is a victim ot that un holy terror of human flesh afflictions, asthma, and visits our section for the re lief which our climate invariably gives.
