Elevator and Wharves Born at Portland Snnday. THREE MEN PERISH IN THE FLAMES. The Hoariest Fire in Over Twenty '' Years. Portland, Sept. 24. A flro at tho A! bin a terminal grounds yesterday de stroyed the Pad Ho coast wheat elevator, warehouse and contents, tbo railroad coal-bunkern and contents, a vast stretch of wharves, sixty or more freight cars and wheat contents, anum Jnamed Anlersou, Murry and Brown, I workmen at. the' elevator, were seen on the roor early In the lire; they were not seen afterwards and are thought to have perished, The property destroyed was con fltructed almost entirely of wood, and was built on piling over the water. The river flows almost north at that point, and the fire started at the most north ern point of tbo burnt district. A still breeze was blowing from tho east at the time, and fanned the flames with great force in their 'progress to the south. The flimes wjtre sucked under the buildings and covered treaties and con tinued unhindered both above and be low, until nlV iuflimmable material bad bem wiped out. The fire department was soon ou tho ground, butfifnd it impossible to suc cessfully combat the fierce blaze that raged furious!, under and above the decked plllngftud treaties. In a very few minutes li was realized that the entire water "ont at that point was" doomed. The. rest le burned like tinder and tl.e bulidltiga melted away before the ileico rlVHes like powder mills going up in a Storm of tire. The scene preseuled was, one of terror and di Uah r st.t..-. nt.klnlnN a n.ivr rt tha great plant of the Portland GcueraLMructiou, audhfully 30,000 people, In EVctlio Company, about four miles of railroad trackage,and the river steamer Willamette Chief. Tho eonil.gratio oonsumed in round numbers $1,000,000 worth of property, though it Is not pos sible at this time to give accurate estl mates. It was pretty fully covered by Insurance. The tire department could do little, or nothing to stay the progrees of the flames, and they competely de voured eery thine: in their path, and subsided only, from lack ot material. It is supposed that three lives of work men at the elevator were lost. The origin of the conflagration Is not -defi nitely known. The disaster was alto gether the most serious that has visited Portland since the great fire of 1872. ESTIMATED LOSS.

It quickly consumed the structure and its contents, and spread south along the river and in leas than two hours bad destroyed three quarters of a mile of water front docks and warehouses, in cluding the great Pacific coast elevator, and the large Terminal company ware house. In addition to the buildings, tracks, trestles, dockB and freight cars were destroyed, This with freight stored for shipment in the warehouses, grain in the elevator, coal in the bunkers and part of an Immense plant for tho Portland General Electric com pany standing on cars in the yards, was totally destroyed, and tbo loes aggregates anlmmense sum of money, Impossible at this time to estimate ac curately. Although largely covered by insurance, the loss is the heaviest sus tained in Portland In years. There is also supposed to have been loss of life at this time. Three men .Z. DEN HOSE!

Tho murder of two missionaries by Chinese soldiers has been followed by the &sa&9luat!on of a Freucb customs officer on the frontier of Tonquln. These acts of violence are greatly em barrassing to tho Pekin authorities at the present time, and It M announced that reparation will be offered. The work of strengthening the de fenses along the Chinese coast continues. Japanese newspapers announce, ap parently by authority, tbat the appli cations for war bonds exceed the total amount of the loan. Recent surveys lead to the belief that the coal supply of Japan, hitherto supposed to be al most inexhaustable, Is in fact extremely limited. Unless new discoveries are made in the Island of Yezo, Japan will have to look abroad for coal. Yokohama, Sept. 24.

Huvemevcr and Soarles, of the sugar triiBt, who refused to answer questioos asked them by the senate investigating committee, oave been finally presented In the district attorney's office, and only await the action of the grand Jury, which will present them to the oourt. The time tbat has elapsed since the case was first commenced baa been consumed in the preparation of thee Indictments. No more difficult tech nical task has devolved upon the district attorney for years, chiefly on account of the laok of precedent. The brunt of the prosecution of the sugar trust will rest upon the Indictments. There Is no doubt that the lawyers Ar. the trust will make motiecie to quash the bills, as the first step In their defense, judge will doubtless be taken to the court of appeals of the dletrlet, tor although an appeal at that stage of an ordinary case is uot allowed, the oourt of appeals makes an exception tor r case of extraordinary Importance, to save the expense of a criminal trial basfd upon an Indiotment which may be lpvalld.The decision of the appellate court upon the legitimacy'' of Indict ments will,therefore,have much weight In determining the power of a congres sional committee to compel witnesses to answer questions, or If refusing to submit 'to punishment for eoetempt. If the court of appeals says tbat they cannot be indicted for such an oflsnse, that settles the matter, unless au at tempt Is made to carry it to 'the supreme court.
