the chairman of tbe causus committee,
said today that the matter of a caucus
had been discussed more or less by tbe

is believed that tne house cooferrees will
lnsntjstrenuously upon the Wilson bill

after several days passed in committee.

confreres will probably give tbeir indi

Holman thinks it not unlikely t bat the

a cbarajter as to result at the conference
following in a compromise, wbicb will be
aceeotabie to both bonses. He added :
We must have a ttriff bill before we

Tbe property loss cannot at tbia time
be accurately estimated, but it will reach
at least $1,250,000. The immense plant
of tbe John R. Davis Lumber Company
baa insurance equal to about four fifths
of the value. In tbe rest of tbe city
ab nt, half tbe property was insuied.
Many ot the poorer people carried no in
surance ou tbeir homes, and have lost
everything. There were many fine busi

everything was burned to tbe ground.
Many of tbe residences cost upwards ef
$3000, and were handsome for a city of
this size.
Four gales of fires followed each other

of destruction and cut four swaths
through tbe city, leaving standing only

of dwellings in tbe heart of tbe burned

would ordinarily be ample protection-
against fires was ren iered useless by tbe
burning of tbe pumping stattoo id tbe

3000 feet of hose, bad been working two

Driven bv tbe increasing wind, the fire

Across tbe miles of swamp, where tbe

Keply to the Honse.
WasZSgtoh. July 29 There has been
no meeting of the Democratic cooferrees
on the tariff bill since the adjournment
Saturday, and the Democratic managers
of the senate say they are as vet nnin
formed as to what will be tbe purpose of
the reply, wbicb tbe Democratic man
agers on behalf oi the house will make
in response to the senate's position tbat
toe conference must accept tbe senate
bill. Having, at tbe Saturday meeting,
made plain to tbe bouse members of tbe
conference why this demand on tbeir
part bad to be made, and wby it should
be accepted, tbe senators bave since the
adjournment, Fridty, given very little
attention to tbe tariff affairs and say
when spoken to tbat tbeir is nothing for
tbem to do until tbe bouse members
make known tbeir acceptance or rejection
of tbe proposition If it be accepted,
bey think tbe report can be made after
i brief conference If rejected, tbey say
bey see no reason for tbe long parley,
tor under tbe circumstances tbey cannot
bide their demands without endan
gering tbe passage ot the bill in tbe
Senate. '
Tbe senate cbnferrees bave said to
those of tbe bouse tbat to strike out tbe
differential oo sugar probably means tbe
loss of eight votes in tbe senate, and also
tbat is is equally important toat coal and
iron ore should remain in tbe bill, as ar
ranged in the senate. It does not appear
hat any difficulty bas arisen over coal
and iron ore in tbe present conference,
and tbe bouse members bave indicated a
willingaess to leave tbem aa agieed upon
n tbe senate, so tbat tbe sugar schedule
can be cUaaed so as to eliminate the
pecial dutv of one-eighth of a cent on
refiaed sugars. Ibis is the only question
of real contention and the senators are
apparently determined to stand firm for
the retention of tbe differential. Fur
thermore, tbey do not aopear to be bold
log out tor tbe senate scbedn e purely on
tbe ground of expediency, for tney also
contend for the justice of tbeir position
to give protection to the refiners. When
Cnairman Wilson, of tbe bouse managers,
advanced tbe proposition Saturday tbat
tbe ad valorem rate ot 40 per cent would,
on account of tbe differences in tbe mar
ket price of raw and refined sugars, give
tbe refiners an advantage of about a
quarter of a cent a pound, be waa replied
to very sharply by tbe senate cooferrees,
some of whom displayed figures to prove
the contrary, while others said tbo prop
osition was too absurd for argument.
Tbey also went over the argument as to
the cost ot manufacturing sugar in tb s
and other countries, tbe bouse members
contending it is worth taking into ac
count and tbe senators attempting to
demonstrate tbe absurdity of this po
sition. The Oregon Navigation.
San Fbancisco, July 29 The fact
tbat tbe Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company bas opened an office in this city
for .tbe transaction of freight and passen -ger
business, and has entered the field to
compete tor tbe overland traffic between
San Francisco and the east with the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, bas
awakened coosiderab e interest in mer
cantile circles Meicbants wbo are op
posed to the Southern Pacific see an ad
vantage in building up opposition freight
traffic out of California. Tbey argue
that it may result in a reduction of
freight rates. Assistant General Freight
Agent Sproule, ot tbe Southern Pacific,
says tbat any opposition wbich might be
established by tbe Oregon rompany could
oot affect the Southern Pacific in tbe
least, adding:
"Tbe Northern Pacific and tbe Great
Northern are not the connections ot the
Oregon company. They bave a traffic
re'ations whatever. They connect at
Spokane but tbey exchange no business."
Tbe representatives of the Oregon com
pany, on tbe other band, say that while
this baa been trne in tbe past, there is no
indication tbat it is bound to remain so
In fact. It is very likely that a trafflic ar
rangement between the roans mentioned
will be perfected within the next few
days, as negotiations to tbat end aie now
in progress.
To Desert Pullman.
Chicago, July 29 If negotiations now
pending are carried to a successful ter
mination, tbe striking car-burners at
Pullman will quit tbe "model town" in a
body and become the employes of a pow
ertul new corporation organized for tbe
manufacture of palace and freight cars
and day coaches. For more thau a week
secret communications are said to bave
been passing between the agent of tbe

are in writing, signed by a man of
wealth and prominence in tbe business
circles of tbe city. Tbe names of a
number of capitalists wbo are connecter
witb tbe enterprise are also mentioned,
togive tbe communication greater weight.
Tbus far tbe deliberations ot tbe central
committee and tbeir replies to tbe ad
vances made by tbe corporation have
Oeen kept wholly secret, but it is known
tbat every member is heartily :n favor of
the change if reasonable terms can be
agreed upon. As soon as ibe negotia

tbe matter will be laid before tbs body
of strikers for' tbeir sanction and ap

75 members of the second division of Jef

tbe men agreed to walk, but before going
tbe Westerners wanted to see Coxey, wbo

Just then tbe train started, aod tbe ho

Honse Breaking;.
Burglaries in tbia city hive not been verv
frtquent of late, nothwithstaading ths tact
that a lirge force of laborers, wbo wer en
gaged in tbe conatroetioD of the O. R. & N.
Co. 'a road east of this city, have been oot ol
employment by reasoo of the completion of
the work. They believed id "having a
time," and generally furnished business for
tbe recorder; but were not inclined to be
malicious except when "in their caps."
Last night witnessed a variation in this
matter,' and a burglar entered a house on
Second street and ff nally made his way into
a shoe shop. Tnis morning there was in
duspitsble evidence of breaking into the
domicile; but no articles of value were
missed. No arrests have yet beeo made,
but there may be further developments.
Summer Resort.
At Trout Lake, Wasii:, there are quite
a number of families camping, spending
tbe summer season in tbat delightful
locality. Hon. E. L. Smith and family
of Hood River, bave been there for some
time and will remain while tbe heated
term lasts. Judge Bennett, Prof. Birg
feld and Mr. L. Uutler and families are
also there, enjoying tbe rural shade of
forest trees aud feasting on trout and
game. The ice cayes are a short distance
away, end these furnish one of tbe neces
sary ingredients for ice-cream parties or
for tbe cold-storage of meat. They all
appear well satisfied with the situation,
and will not return to tbe busy haunts of
the city until their mountain resort be
comes too cold for comfort.

Over the Mountains on Foot.
Ls. Saturday evening, when tba TlilES
Modntainekr was being printed, a
stranger apparently, wssther-besten and
covered witlf dust from "roughing it," earns
into the office and pleasantly saluted tbe
editor. For a time we were not aware
whom we were addressing, but soon aaoer
ta ned the fact that the gentleman was
Hon. Lrdell Baker, who had made the -jodroey
from Portlsnd.over the mountains
on fool. He wss accompanied by Prof.
Francis K. Lloyd, of Psoifio university at
Forest Grove, and who had mads tba trip
for the purpose of gathering specimens of
flora and plants indigenous to the Casosdea,
of which be bad made a very oboice selec
tion. Tbey made the ascent of Hood with
ths Mazamas, aod then oontinued their
journey to The Dalles. Their trip through
the mountains has undoubtedly grestly im
proved them physically, and they will re- .
torn to their different labors with renewed
energy.

riously ill in New York city. Mr. Tozier
went etst as a representative of the Port-
aod press to the newspsper convention that
was recently held at Aibury Park, N. Y.
After the meeting Mr. Tozier went to New
York city and ran up against soma hot
weather which " Oregon does not furnish.
Mr. Tozier could not stand tbe pressure,
snd one dsy fell upon the street, being
overcome by the heat. At last accounts bis
sondition was considered serious, but at
tending physicians ara of the opinion that
he will pull through all right. All bis
Portland friendhope so, for even outside
of the newspiper profession Al Toiier en
joys a populsrtty that many men would bs
glad to possess.

Waai It BuraiarjrT
For some tims past a small boy bas car
ried on mercantile business on a limited
scale, in a building on Ninth street. His
stock in trade consisted of ginger snaps,
crackers and cigar boxes. These be sold for
empty beer bottles which be retaild to sa
loons. Be says Ids average receipts were
from $1.50 to f 1.90 a day, and as he was at
no expense for clerk hire considered him
self in a fair way of accumulating a compe
tence. Yesterday, while he waa down
town, some one broke open his establish
ment, demolished bis beer bottles and de
stroyed bis cigir boxes. The boy could not
estimate h a loss; but he is hopeful that be
will again open his s ore, aa be bas good
credit, and no creditors who are urgent in
their demands for payment.
The Shops.
There is a well authenticated rumor in
jirculation tbat tbe O. R. ft N. Co. will re
establish the shops m this city, and our
ptople wilt gladly welcome'them. Tbe rail
road-vompany bas more fnen is in tbe city
than formerly, and if the effort was made to
establish their ahops at this point we bays
oo doobt that many concessions would be
made. Cars built in The Dalles stand
longer than those constructed in the Wil
lamette valley, because oar climate natu
rally seasons Umber. Again, The Dalles is
at a convenient distsnce from Portland,
and, in case of wreck or .blockade, the in
jury could be repaired or the road cleared
by working from both directions.
