Victoria, U. 0., May 23. Tho mala portion of tho city of Dawson was do strayed by Aro on Apt II 20, causing loss of 1,000.000. In all. Ill build ings, including tho British North America bank, wero hnred. Tho newa was brought down by T. S. Humes, n son of Mayor Humus, of Seattloj J. Toklas and a third party, who left Dawson April 27. and made their way out by canoo to Lake Lebarge, and then over tho Ice, having a moat perilous trip. Toklas ropotta that tho flro occurred in tho vory heart of tho business center of the city, beginning near tho opera houso, on tho water front, and spread ing with unusual rapidity. It was drivon by n strong north wind, destroy ing everything in its way on thnt streot down to nnd including Donahue & Smith's establishment. Tho tiro then took in nil of the water front buildings abreast of the samo blocks. It crossed tho street, burned throu.h nnd spread over to Second Btteot, covering tho principal business nortlon of Dawson, leaving it all in iiBhes, with the lliemuu helpless and powerless to do anything. Tho fiio consumed everything front Tinimin'a Royal cafo down to and opposite tho Fairviow hotel, tho build ings boing aa dry as timber, ino flumes spread with such rapidity that tho pcoplo bocamo punicstrlckon nnd unable to save anything in tho way of furniture, goods nnd clothing.

Doors are soiling for ?35 each, d rlocks ?8 each, and every thing else in proortioii. .Nothing In the way of rebuilding can bo dono un til tho opening of navigation, Eevoral weeks from now, as there is not over 8,000 feet of lumber in tho place. Tho firo waa caused by n drunken woman upsetting a lamp in a disorderly honse. Nono of tho big warehouses wero touched by tho fire, so there will be no shortago of provisions, even if the lakes should not open beforo tho middle of Juno, which is now predicted. Provisions hnvo not advanced in price, nor clothing, the companies bo ing determined apparently to do nil in their power to relievo the general dis tress. A conservative estimate of the loss is $1,000,000. This is based on Klondike valuations. This is tho third large firo that visited Dawson. IN THE LAST DITCH.

Willie ltelnlg and George Jessup, uairowlv escaped with their lives. For somo timo the two boys hnve been rending Spanish literature telling of bull fights, and they concluded they wanted to bo matadors. Reinig' father is the owner of n big black Hereford bull with abort horns which havo neon capped with brnss knobs. Tho nniinal is kept in it pasture near Seventy-eighth anil Wood street. Sat urday Reinig nnd Jessup met by ap pointment ami laid their plans. This done, tliuv talked over the matter as to who among their boy friends should bo allowed to witnocss tho "real thing." It was finally decided that 20 of their boy friends should be let into tho secret, and they wero told that the contest would take place Sunday. Promptlv the invited guests and tho two principles put in an appearance at tho pasture. Reinig was armod witlt an old swoid, while Jessup had manu factured a sword out of an old corn knifo with a handle of wood. Reinig claimed the right to tho first title with tho beast. At a given signal from Henry Nel son, ono of the boys, who was to act as referee, Reinig advanced into tho field. Ho had gone but n little way when the animal charged upon him. Tho on slaught was too much for Reinig's prowess, and he was tossed high into the air. He hiudod in a oorner of tho fence, more dead than alive. His shoulder-blado was broken nnd one of tho horns had gouged a hole in his nrm. Jessup saw tho predicament of his companion nnd rnn to his assist ance. Tho hull met his onslaught with loworod head, and beforo tho boy had timo to realize what had hap pened, he, too, was tossed high over tho fence and into a ditch. Botli boys were taken homo nnd n dootor was called. He said the injuries wero serious, but not necessarily fatal. A POISONOUS PLANT.

David Casey, an experienced livestock miser, has found a plant which ho declares has been killing so ninny sheep hoieabouts, when nil tho timo sheepmen thought it was somo other plant. It kills lioga and cattle, horses not being injured for tho reason that they mastlcato what thoy eat, and the notion of tho glands sorves to exclude the poisonous sub stanco from tho mouth boforo it gets into tho stomach. Tho plant resem bles a wild onion, tho long groen loaves, however, drooping und not standing orect, its in the caso of tho onion. It has also a yellow blossom, lhe plant comes up in tho spring be fore any other vegetation, says Mr. Casey, and tho livestock eat it for that reason. For somo timo thoro have been numoious deaths of livestock from eating somo plant, and it has boon said thnt tho poisonous snbstanco was in tho form of a grass. From hia oh servations, Mr. Casey believes ho has found tho most dnngorotia plont to livestock intoreBts thnt growa in this section. It will bo sont to tho Oregon experiment station foi analysis.
