Flames and the Iron Tram Was Twisted to rteces. Associated Presa. I'ortlnjid. Feb. d The Iron pit earner WIlnilnKton caueht flro lost nlsht while lying at Llnnton, several nillea below the city. The fire originated In the cargo of lime In the hold.' The vessel Is a total loss, the wood work being All consumed and tha Iron frame being so warped as to be useless. The fire broke out in the hold at 9 o'clck last night. All efforts to subdue It were useless and Ineffective and the vessel was beached. The WIT inlngton's cargo consisted of one thous and barrens of lime, the loss of which Is nominal. The vessel was valued at fifty thousand dollars, and was Insured for two-thirds of that amount. The steamer was owned by the Merchants' Steamship Company of this city. She plied between this city and Vancouver, B. C, and Puget Sound points. The Wilmington arrived Rt Llnnton at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and dis charged a cargo of lime rock. About . 1 o'clock one of the men discovered smoke Issuing from, the oft hold,, which showed that the lime was on fire. The mate and two men went Into the hold and made an attempt to smother the flames, but tlue smoke was too dense and . drove them beck. Captain Rodger saw that nothing could be done to stop the fire, so he put the men to work removing the furniture, bedding, the ship's nautical Instruments and records which were saved. The hatches were battened down and the lire was confined till about S o'clock this morning when the heat became so Intense that the crew were forced to leave the vessel. In a fw minutes the fire broke out and the ship was enveloped In flames which soon entirely destroyed the wood work and nothing remained but the warped and twisted Iron hull. EUST DAY AT SALEM.

It Is an Important question whether the corruption disclosed In the Panama mat-) ter Is absolutey exceptional, or whether, the State is not forever condemned to prove, wunin a certain measure, mo formula of the English philosopher, Her bert Spencer, who says In his "Political Essays:" "Tho official machine Is slow, stupid, wasteful, corrupt." t.j,t ,,u nr,nlilr flrnf lha vlf-lita nr.it duties of the preas In relation to financial enterprises. From an' ideal point of view, it very clear that the duty of the press' is to Instinct the public seriously, to offer It an honest opinion, the outcome of reflection and sure Information. .This Is the ideal the press ought to pursue; - '. not been absolutely demon strated that journals which might try to conform to this ideal, with some talent and some spirit, would not find,, in the long run, material profit in such a course. olbelt the public is not very clear-sighted, and has little gratitude. . . I.owman of prgol that the will existed n This Ideal, it Is too evident, very tew f some time, as Dr. Jordan was negotlat JournalB pretend to follow. The most of, ng with the city for the sale of It, nnd them are mere organs of party, of a cer tain set, and of pecuniary enterprise look ing to Immediate returns. Although that be so, there are still some rules by which they should be bound. No one will deny that the Journals have a right to be paid, and well paid, for the publicity they give, but on the condition that this pub licity Is clearly seen by readers to come from sources outside of the Journal, and that It does not have the air of being advice given by the Journal of Its own motion, after an Impartial examination and Tefleictlon. By confounding, as it does, editorials and publicity, It la evi dent that the press is In danger of losing all authority, It will be considered as naught but a, collector of information which should be distrusted. As a help to floating financial enter prises, they are what are called guaran tee syndicates. In principle these are all very well and so-netlmes useful. Form erly, however, tiese syndicates were composed of great bonkers or great capi talist. If, however, you form a guaran tee syndicate which guarantees nothing that i to say, which doe's' not take the shaes for which the public has not sub' scribed, and is besides composed, In great part, of men known not to have rtny con siderablo persona resources, it Id clear that such a syndicate Is but ait empty formula and P, falsflcatlon.Such syndl-. cates use the press for their own purpos- es and pay Journals tens of thousands of francs to proclaim the. merits of enter- prises with which It is intended to gull the public. Yet great flnnnclal en'erpriscs, have been undertaktn, firmly founded out this flourish of trumpets. IV Hcono- mlste Francals, Paris, Deputy United Ptitte Marshal D.' G.

The steamship City of Topeka, has ar rived In Seattle after a quick but rough voyage down from Alaska, She came down light, having only a small cargo of furs and skins. ,' Among her passengers were Deputy .

Tho longenders among the Insurance gamblers won yesterd.iv In the matter of cither the John Eiu or the Houree fold being the dismast d burning vessel seen off Panama by t.ie Goodrich two months ago, says the San Francisco Ex aminer, for the John Ena sailed into port with talcs of ice and gale to tell, but never a word about fire. The John Eiu was 160 days out -and the Honresfeld V,i days, and the respective reinsurance rates were 25 and 75 per cent. When the former sailed Into view tho Honreefeld's figures Jumped to 80 per cent with no takers, Captain Bchnauer, of the Ena, thinks that his big ship behaved well on her maiden voyage, but could not beat the elements. Leaving Cardiff with 4,222 tons of coal on the l&trt of August last, she made the line In fair time with only 011a mishap, the loss of the first mate, John West, who died of heart disease on Her tcmber 13th, and was literally froxen to the deck before It was) dl''vered that he was liMoae,: !;'! 'lis directing a taok off shore at tha time, and worked hlinself in a state of Intense excitement over the fact that the rigging was froxen and the crew could not force tacks and sheets through the blocks. On the 17th of the same month the Ena lost her tbree lower topsails and foretop-mast staysail all the canvas she had set In a gale, and a we?k later a second edition of the blow again left her under boro poles and In the trough of the sea, where she rolled mull shifting cargo gave her a dangerous list to port. For a week Captain 8chnaucr fought a storm off the Horn, and then. when the ship was so shrouded In lee that half the crew were disabled trying to handle sail, he turned her around and ran away for the Cape of Good Hope. A life boat and all' the doors of the deck houses were stove before he escaped, and the ship only missed fatal collision with, an Iceberg by a miracle December tth the Ena was In sight of the coast of New Zealand, and Jon. 5th she was In sight of Pltcalrn Island. Another hurri cane carried away i-U her canvas, and then her trials were ended, for sho made port from the equator In seventeen day. 'The Ena Is under the Hawaiian Aug, like the Hawaiian Isles, and like that ship Is owned In hundreds of shares, mostly among the foreign population of Btuart street. She Is a fine specimen of marine architecture, 3)2 feet long, by 4 beam, with a register of 2600 pounds, and all labor saving modern Improvement. The tramp Bawnmore made her third attempt to get to sea. from San Fran cisco Sunday, and was tueceesCul, non union crew and all. The barkentlna Quickstep made a try with to same sort, of sailors forward, but returned in the evenlng and anchored at Sausallto.
