Spokane, May 7. A special to the
Spokesman-Review from Kaslo, B. C
ays:
Sandon, the second mining town in
Importance in the Slocan, has been
completely destroyed by fire and nearly
all its 1,200 people are homeless and
ruined. Kaslo is 28 miles from San
don, but about midnight large clouds
of smoke came rolling over this town
from Sandon. At once word went ont
that Sandon was destroyed, but no news
could be bad from the desolate town,
as all wires bad been burned.
At 4 P. M. a train came in from Sam
Jon bringing a number of those who
lost all their property. They reported
that the total lots was between $500,
000 and $1,000,000, while the insur
ance could only have been about $25,
000. The alarm was sounded shortly after
midnight, and quickly the streets were
filled with hundreds of men and wo
men. The flames started between
Spencer's ball and Brown's store.
Two streams seemed to hold the flames
in check for a while. Then one stream
nave out and the flames spread rapidly.
After that it was only a matter of the
fire burning Itself out.
The miners' hospital and a drug store
were blown up In the .effort to stop the
flames. By this time all tbe lower
part of town. Including the tenderloin
and many business plaoes were gone.
Then tbe firemen blew up the Echo
hotel, one of the finest buildings in the

cific railroad station and other build
ings in order to save the valuable stores
of II. Geigerich and II. Byers & Co.
This was accomplished. Halfadosen
other buildings at tbe extreme ends ol
the town were saved, including tbe
electric power-house. Tbe rest of tbe
town was drawn Into the maelstrom of
flame.
Relief measures were taken quickly.
The officials of Sandon donated $500,
ana mining men there contributed
$3,000. Kaslo raised $1,800 and sent

GREAT FUNERAL TRAIN.
Start Pmat th Sean of th Utah
Mia Dlaaator.
8a It Lake, May 7. -The greatest
funeral train In the history of Western
America started on its journey from
Scofield today. Tbe train had upon it
the remains of about 85 or more of tbe
victims of tbe Winter Quarters disas
ter. Accompanying the bodies were
many relatives, wbo are bowed down
with the severity of the blow that they
have so suddenly sustained. One of
the miners who was in the mine at the
time of the explosion and who was one
of the first rescuers wbo went in to re
cover the bodies, tells an interesting
story. He was in No. 1, in the first
raise, when the explosion oocurred, but
so far away from it that the sound did
not reach him. He suffered a moment
with the air, but thought It the result
of a cave-In, worked on a quarter of an
hour, when his miner's instinct told
him that something was wrong, and be
came on down to the main entrance.
A door bad been fitted in here to keep
tbe current of good air from going
above, and to diiect it into tbe main
workings, where it would meet the
damp and either weaken it very much
or drive it back. This door was guard
ed on the outer aide. Passing on to the
mouth of the tunnel, this miner, with
otlieis, joined Superintendent T. J.
Farm ley, and went to No. 4. where the
greatest danger existed. Outaideof the
mine those working had all been In
jured, so the party was small.
Army Bill Paaa.d.
Washington, May 7. Today's ses
sion of tbe senate was rendered espec
ially notable by the passage, after a de
bate lasting taree hours, of the army
reorganisation bill. In military cir
cles the measure is regarded as oue of
the most important of the present ses
sion. It practically revolutionises the
present staff rrangements of the army.
It proposes to change tbe present sys
tem of permanent appointments in cer
tain staff corps to one of detail by a
gradual process aa the officers In those
corps go out of active service. As va
cancies ooour in the department of the
adjutant-general, the inspector-general,
quartermaster-general and commissary
general, they are to be filled by details
from the line, the details to be tem
porary and not to exoeed four years.

was very thick, and in a bank of fog she
suddenly came, upon the steamer An

THE CASE OP CLARK.
-at Will Tak It Vo Wait Thara
dny. Washington, May 6. -The senate to
day adopted the motion of Hoar to teks !
npth. resolution of the committee .,n
np
elections declaring that Clark, of Mon
tana, was not dnly elected to tbe sen
ate, and then postponed consideration
of the question for a week. Tbe army
appropriation bill, after a rather spirit
ed debate, was passed without division.
The day closed with the passage of a
number of private pension bills, includ
ing bills to pension Mrs. Julia Henry,
widow of the late General Guy V.
Henry; General James Longstreet, Mrs.
Margaret M. Badger, widow of the late
Commodore Badger, and Mrs. Harriet
Grid ley, widow of tbe late Captain
Gridley, of the navy.
The house today, without division,
passed the free homes bill,' which has
been pending before congress for a
number of years. The bill provides
tbat tbe government shall issue pat
ents to actual bona fide settlers on
agricultural lands of Indian reserva
tions opened to settlement. These
lands were taken up by settlers, who
contracted to pay for tbem $1.26 10
$3.76 per acre. By the terms of the
bill, tbe government assumes the pay
ment of tbe purchase price to the In
dians and changes the existing law rel
ative to agricultural colleges so as to
insure the payments of tbe endowments
which heretofore have come oat of the
sale of public lands in case of deficien
cy. These payments Involve $1,200,
000 annually. Of the 29,000,000 acres
In Indian reservations opened to settle
ment, for which the irovernment Is to
pay or has paid $36,000,000, about
8,000,000 acres have been taken and
2,000,000 are supposed to be still avail
able for agricultural purposes. A re
markable thing In connection with tbe
passage of the bill today was a speech
in Its favor by Galusha A. Grow, the
venerable ex-speaker of tbe bouse, wbo
48 years ago, fathered and passed the
original homestead bill. He was then
the youngest and is now tbe oldest
member of the house. The remainder
of tbe day was devoted to tbe sundry
civil appropriation bill, tbe last but
one of the great supply bills.
GOEBEL MURDER CASE.
Caltoa Darlbl th Caafara Held
la Laxtnftoa.
Frankfort, Ky., May 6. W. H.Cul
ton resumed bis testimmony in the
Goebel murder investigation today.
He stated that Governor Taylor author
ised the witneea to give Youteey any
amount of money desired if he would
leave Kentucky. At a conference in
Lexington, tbe Sunday before Goebel
was shot, it was decided that Repre
sentative Henry Berry, who had been
unseated a few days before, should go
to the house of representatives next
morning and take his seat and refuse
to give It up. Vanmeter, his opponent,
was to be in some way prevented from
going to the hall that morning. Caleb
Powers, wbo was at the conference,
telephoned to Governor Taylor at
Fiankfort two or three times In regard
to the conference. : On cross-examina
tion, Cnlton said he did not know at
any list of state senators or represanta
titvee who were to be put ont of tbe
way.
On re-direct examination, Culton
said tbat Sergeant-at-Arms Haley
signed the subpoenas for witnesses for
Governor Taylor to testify before the
gubernatorial contest committee, and
authorised Culton to secure good men
in the various counties to serve them.
Culton said he did not know where
Powers or Youtsey were when the shot
was fired. Tbe last talk be had with
Yontsey, the latter said the plan to kill
Goebel had been abandoned. Cnlton
had been asked by Taylor to asoertain
what the witnesses In the contest knew,
because he was a lawyer. To tbe pros
ecution he said he bad told more now
on the stand than to any person except
his father. Here his testimony ended.
Circuit Court Clerk Mooie, of Jack
son county, denied tbat Cnlton had
told him anything about tbe plan to
bring on a riot and kill Goebel and
other members of the legislature.
The afternoon session of the court
was taken np with testimony by the
surgeons, who conducted the autopsy
on the body of Goebel, and a civil
engineer who had made a measurement
of the state bouse yard. The prosecu
tion sought to show, from the nature
of the wounds and from the course of
the bullet, which is supposed to have
passed through Goebel 'a body and was
dug out of a tree near where be- fell.
that the shot was fired from a window

Washington, May 6. -The house to
day, at the conclusion of the most
stormy debate of the present session of
congress, passed the Nicaragua bill by.
the overwhelming vote of S25 to 85.
All attempts to retain In the bill the
language of tbe original bill for the for
tification of the canal and still further
to strengthen the language on that line
were balked, and the victory of Hep
burn and tbe committee was complete.
A motion to recommit the bill with
Instructions to report back another bill
leaving the selection of the route to the
president was buried under aa adverse
majority of 63 to 171.
The point of absolute aero, or the

Wrrt Deatrojred Child Drowned
Building Borehd.
New York, May 8. -A fire that start
ed at the liver end of tbe Mallory Line
steamship pier, at tbe foot of Maiden
Lane and tbe East river early this
morning, completely destroyed the pier
and its valuable oonteuts.
The police place tbe loss at $1,000,
000. , Several barges, which were
moored near the pier, were also de
stroyed, and many rescues of their cap
tains and of members of the families
on board were made. One life was
lost. The 9-months-old daughter of
Captain Charles Lochs, of the barge
Sherwood, was drowned.
Tbe Mallory pier was 200 feet long
and 50 feet wide. The pier was filled
with valuable freight, mostly cotton.
On the north side of the pier were
moored a number of coal and cotton
barges, while on the south side was the
steamer San Marios and a number of
barges.
No sooner had the work of fighting
the flames begun than tbe firemen
turned their attention to saving tbe
lives of those on the bargee which were
lying within the line of danger. Near
eet to the pier was the narge Stephen
B. Elkins. Her captain, Frank Fox,
and his wife and S-montbs-old daughter
were on board sleeping. A skid was
quickly run from the pier to the coal
barge and the occupants of the boat
were awakened and were hurried from
their bunks to a place of safety before
the flames reached them.
On board tho barge Sherwood were
Charles Lochs, the captain. 86 years
eld; his wife Lenna, 80 years old, and
their daughter, Rosie, 9 months old.
The Lochs family was awakened by the
flames. Their barge was already on
fire. Tbe father took the 9-months-old
baby in his arms, and with bis wife
jumped into the water. Timothy
Boyle, formerly In command of the
barge New Brunswick, whose home Is
at Rondout. N. Y., plunged In to save
tb woman, who had become exhaust
ed. Her husband, who still held tbe
baby in his arms, saw that his wife
was on tbe point of going down. It
became a question with him as to which
be should save, his wife or baby. He
let tbe baby go, la the hope that she
would be picked np by some one else,
and went to tbe assistance of his wife.
He managed to bold ber head above
water until Boyle reached tbem. All
three were then landed by life lines,
tbe child being lost. Tbe half drowned
captain and his wife were moved to the
Hudson street hospital, where they re
covered. On the coal barge H. II.
Hand, which lay alongside tbe other
burning barges, were tbe captain,
Joseph Plumb, his wife and two chil
dren. All were rescued by the police.
Patrolman Jeremiah Cronin was badly
burned while taking one of tbe chil
dren ashore. All hands on board the
lighter A mo got ashore safely. Michael
Sheldon, of that boat, was compelled
to jump into tbe river, from which he
was rescued.
Three huge vessels were lying so near
the biasing pier that their safety was
endangered. They were the steamer
San Marios and the steamer Neuces,
which were safely towed out into mid
stream, and the bark St. James, tbe
rigging of which wss burned before she
could be gotten out of harm's way.
Tbe scene on tbe water was a most
exciting one. The river was filled with
steam craft engaged in towing the vari
ous vessels aud barges to places of
safety. Four cotton barges, others
laden with cornmeal and some loaded
with coal caught fire and were de-
stioyed. Some of tbem were also sunk
to prevent the further spread of the
flames.

Exclamations of astonishment and
delight at tbe sumptuous furnishings of
the Northern Paoific's new North Coast

nesday evening at the union depot in
Portland. Lighted by electricity, at
it was, from the outside the train looked

larger places difficulty was experienced
in getting tbe cars cleared in time to

passenger agent, was aboard. He wai
met at Seattle by A. D. Charlton, ol
Portland, assistant general passenger
agent; I, A. Nadeau, general agent at
Seattle, and A. Tinllng, general agent
at Tacoma.
To attempt to give a description ol

perfection, but it remained for tbi
builders of tbe North Coast Limited U
show tbat added improvements could
be made.
From one end to another it is a con'
tinnation of luxury. Bathed in thi
soft glow of shaded electric globes, tbi
dark redwood finishings shine with ricl

general effect dazzling. Each car is ai
completely furnished as a moden
drawing room. Ail tbe accommoda
tions accorded by first-class hotels cat
be secured aboard tbe palace on wheels
This observation car to the rear will
never be detached to make place foi
any private cars, and no smoking wil
be allowed In the main section, so tha

At the instance of the . secretary ol
war, Judge Advocate General Liebei
will make a special report In the cast
of Major Kirkman, which report alsc
will have a bearing on the cases ol
Lieutenants Gregg and Bailey, as tb

to the president, as commander In chiel
of the army. It is admitted that such

condition existed in the case of Major
Kirkman at tbe time of the offensei
alleged to have been committed.
