ART COLLECTION A VALUABLE ONE One of tho Finest Structure! on the Ground Now a Hoap of Blackened Ruins. Portland, Oct. 14. Missouri's stato building Is tho first of tho edifices of tho Lewis and Clark fair to meet an untlmoly fato at tho hands of tho de stroyer. It was not a wrecking crew which totally demolished Missouri's magnificent rcprscntation at the West ern World's fair, last night, but it was fiendish, relentless and unfeellrg flames, which tore and burnt their way through the building from one end to tho other, devouring the rarest treas ures of art, almost invaluable exhibits. enstlv fixtures, leaving in their wake a nath of destruction, a vivid reminder of the nwful power of fire. The flro began apparently from an unknown cause at 8 "'clock last night, presumably In the rear end, and within 1.5 minutes tho whole of the building and all of its contents had been utterly dectroyed. A desk, a trunk and three chairs were the only things that were saved. The statue, representing tho state of Missouri, which stands in front of the building, and which was present ed to the state of Oregon this week, was untouched. The Missouri building was sold yestetday to the Missouri wreckage company, a local concern, for 12,000, but was not to have been de livered until today. The erection of the building resulted in the expendi ture of 112,000, and the cost of install ing the exhibits amounted to about 15,000 more. While the loss of the art gallery is commercially ettlmated at $20 000, mot of the paintings and statues were owned by art admirers, and could net bo bought for tho mere sako of money. The total loss of the building, art gallery and exhibits Is estimated at 50,000. Of Insurance there was a meager sum of f 5,000 on the ait gallery. All that remains of tho Missouri building is a ghastly and heart rending pile of blackened boards and twisted iionwork, where until last night stood one of the most beautiful buildings of the whole Lewis and Clark exposition, and which contained an art gallery of beautiful paintings, and masterpieces of noted sculptures, which can never be replaced. The art gallery was the feature of the building, nearly all the noted artists of Missouri contributing to the assem blage of tho paintings and statues for the express purpose of having them ex hibited at the Lewis and Clark exposi tion. freer TRADE THE ONLY RELIEF Senator Long Predicts Much Distress in Philippines Otherwise. Washington, Oct. 14. In the opin ion of Senator Long, of Kansas, who made the trip to the Far East with Sec retary Taft and party, tbo greatest need of the Filipinos is freer trade with the United States. The senator talkrd with the president today about the needs of the Philippine islands. He told the president that, in his judg ment, tho islands would be in serious financial condition until a reduction of duties on their products entering the United States was made. "Recently," said the senator "the Filipinos have suffered from the ty phoons and drouth. As a conse quence, their crops have either failed or been wiped out, and they are becom ing discontented. Thoir discontent does not take a revolutionary form, but is simply tho result of existing condi tions." Mr. Long discussed railroad rate legislation with the president briefly. He expressed the belief that the matter would be disposed of early in tho ap proaching session. Wright Will Soon Resign. Washington, Oct. 14. Uy reason of what appears to be dissatisfaction with the situation in the Philippines, Luke K.

America and Franco Will Apply It to Castro, of Vonezuola. Washington, Oct. 13. Vencxueln, wan the subject of an important conver sation at the Slate dopattment today between Secretary Hoot and Mr. Jusse. rand, tho French ambassador. Tho latter has been awaiting tho arrival heio of tho report of Mr. Calhoun, tho American special commissioner, before reporting to his government a courso of action. Mr, Calhoun has reported verbally to tho president and tho secre tary, but he has not yet completed his formal report upon the conditions he found existing in Vonexuola. Enough is known, however to show tho similarity between the grievance of tho 1'aris and Washington govern ments. Whether this similarity shall find a corollary In a parallel action on the part of tho two governments to right their grievances has not yet been decided. Franco has lately informed the United States that the courso she has shnped is one of extreme patience, but of even greater firmness. It can be announced that tho French government already has considered sev eral courses of action, any of which, it is believed would bring President Caitro to terms. Nono will bo adopted, however until Mr. Hoot and Mr. Jusse- rand have further considered tho report of Mr. Calhoun. In tho meantime Itoth governments will hide their time, let ting it be known that both are equally determined to obtain early justice for their citizens. SETTLES FOR FRIAR LANDS.

While Mr Taft was in tho islands he effictetla compromise by which tho titles were to be made completo and the purchase money paid according to tho English version, while the $200,- 000 in controversy was to be submitted to arbitration. Since tils return tho secretary lias nceived a cable from Governor Wright raying that the Do minican agents have offered to com promise Ity accepting 150.000. Mr. Taft today eabled Governor Wright ap proving the compromise. The total amount to be paid to the Dominicans is 1 2,060,000. The money will Im) pud in New York about Octo ber 20. MARKEL IS SHUT OUT. Canal Commission Cancels His $50, 000,000 Hotel Contract. Panama, Oct. 13. Tho last act of the Panama Canal commission beforo sailing for New York was the annul ment of the contract awarded to J. E. Market, of Omaha for feeding and cir ing for the employes of tho canal.
