FIRE AT PORTLAND.
Early Morning Ul.we Cot Lite ami
Horns Oridp.e Approach.
Portland, Feb. 12. Fire broke out
this morning at l A near the coiner of
Fast Water and Fast Morrison streets
ami burned w ith great rapidilv. The
buildings arc built on pilings, and the
draft carried the tinmen under the road
way of Morrision street, burning the
approach to the Morrison street bridge,
and the frame struct uies on both sides
of the roadway were soon ablare.
On the north side of Morrison street
is the wood yard of C. K. Pavin A Co.
M. J. Mnridiv. idumlor: the Mount
Hood saloon; a mini I photograph gal
lrrv and the Fast Portland Fence
works. On the south side of Morrison
street are two or three small structures
used as candy stores and a restaurant.
riats along the water front were
uuicklv moved ont into the river and
out of danger.
The wind, wind little there was, was
from the northeast, ami the spaika and
bits of burning wood were cariicit over
to the west stile of the river, making a
beautiful night in the moonlight.
The tlrehoat is moored within two
blocks of the place where the tire
started, but the tiames had already at
tained such a headway Wfore an alarm
was turned in that thev could not be
stayed.
The big agricultural implement ware
house district is within a block of the
hit i ned buildings, but the gentle wind
blowing carried all the sparks out into
the river and away from the big frame
buildings.
The second ntory of the building in
which the Mount llool saloon is lo
cated is occupied as a tenement house.
l.odgers were driven from their rooms
in their night clothes and had very
narrow escapes.
L. Pailv, a man of aNmt 50 vears of
age, was taken to the hospital very
badly burneit. ImiIv is In great an
guish as he is afraid that his w i'e and
two children perished in the tl.imo.
He says he was wakened out of sleep by
ihe tlanies licking at his face am; by
the greatest effort csoaptd with his
life.
One bodv has leen takeu from the
ruins of the lodging houe. The body
is so badlv eaten bv the tlames that it
is impoesile to tell whether it is that of
a man or a woman.
Assistant Chief l.ni.denkloss says he
is afraid there are a numler of other
victims in the embers, probably chib
dren.
tr 4:30 the tiames were under con
trol. lavis" wotxlyard buildings ae
badlv damaged. I here is a great noie
in the Morrison street br dge approach.
All the buildings on the west side of
Water street on the two corners are de
si rovtd.

ROAD TO DE REBUILT.
Government Work and Immigration
Stimulates Klamath Line,
Klamath Falls Inf Munition received
at Kla-tath Falls imlicnten that the
Klamath Lake railroad, connxctlug
with the Southern I'm I tic at Thrall ami

quired by the Weyerhaeuser l.umbiir
company, will bo practically recon
structed during the present year, track
laid better to cm. Mo the line to coin
mad tratlic of the Klamath Falls, region
for some time, while also better nerving
the purposes of it new owners in the
development of lumber Industries.
Four new locomotives have been order
ed, a new passenger conch and a num
ber of cars are to be purchased, which
in understood to be indicative of the in
tentions witn rt (erence to the railroad.
No official information in had an to
the intentions in the way id adding
mileage, but it is known that investiga
tions made before the acquisition of the
property were with a view to determin
ing tho tratlie assured by reason of the
government work in constructing the
canal for which Mason, Iuvis A Co., of
Portland, now have the first contract.
With absolute knowledge of the ton
nage of tratlic that was handled durng
1 105, and itn great increase over the
precedirg year, and an additional ton
nage for the next year that will surely
double the commodity tratlic of 11105,
to sty nothing of the immigration that
will mean a great deal of busiuesn, the
railroad officials feel more than justi
fied in large expenditures and will com
plete their projected work at the ear
liest possible date.

THE RATE UILL.
Proviion of tho Mensurn Passed
by tho Hon sn,
Washington, Feb 0. The railroad
rule bill in intended and does comply
spec ideally with the rcroinmtuidalinnM
of President Roosevelt on tho rate
iUiNtion. It given the InterstateX'oin
tnerce commission authority, when a
rate ban been coinplniued of nn "un
reasonable" by a nit pper, to Investi
gate that rate, slate w lu llicr or not it
is unreasonable, and if found to be
unieasnnitble, to mime u rate, which in
to he just and reasonable, and fairly
remnueriitivo, mid w hich in to bo the
iniixMiiuin rate to be charged.
Thin rate, so tlxetl, tn to go Into
efTct t ,S0 days after it In announced by
the coinuiisNiiiu, subject, during that
time, to bo net nsido or suspended by
the commisHion or by the courts. After
it has gone into effect, it in to remain
the rate for three years. Uiirtng this
time, according to the opinion that
has been expressed by those who have
participated in the debate, the rate
may also be reviewed by the courts,
and, if found to be tn contlict either
with the constitution by being confis
catory, it can be set aside by the courts.
Another important feature in the
definition of the words '"railroad" and
"tr importation," in a manner to in
clude all auxiliary instrumentalities.
This Hwir to name a reasonable
rate and the inclusion of the auxili
arien within the jurisdiction of the
commission, are said to be the new
feat uren. All other provision are mod
ifications of existing law. They in
clude publicity of railroad methods,
w hii h is 'o be aided hy prescribing a
system of bookkeeping, and enlarging
the commission to seven members and
increasing salaries of member to $100,
000 a vear.
CHINESE GOOD SOLDIERS.
Minister Discusses Agitation and Pre
, parations for War.
'terlin, F'ib. !. (ieiieral Tchang
TYheng, the Chinese minister to tier
many, in the course of an interview
with the Tsgeblatt' correspondent on
the diriuieting rumorn from China,
said that China needed reform in her
head a id limbs. Europe, he nnid,
had been surprised that Japan had be
come greater than China, whore sol
dier, and especially tlnse in the north
ern part Oi" the empire, conipire physic
ally with the Prussian guards. Money
for aimy and navy expenses, ho taiil,
should not be considered, as the jxipu
latioli of over 400 000 (H)0 could easily
contribute a milliard where vrtal inler-
est were touched
China, the minister continued,
strong'- wishes for commercial deal
ings with foreign countries, but prefers
those without Chinese colonies. The
inissionarits, he added, cause hatred of
foreigner by their tactless proselyting
aud the fighting leteeu Protestants
and Catholics.
The minister was asked if the navy
and army reinforcements which the
United States is sending to the Philip
pines in the expectation of diilicultics
with Chinia might arouse the Chinese
dragon. He replied :
"If tlie American government scuds
reinforcements, who can ay it fears
ditliculties with China? It is all ivn
ser'.se. I believe the armaments are
prepared against sometmdy ele; I can
Dot express myself more definitely. "
