Senator Slater Invents Legislative
Novelty.
Especial to the Oregonian.]

WASHINGTON. May 1S. - Senator
Sitter has prepared and intends shortly
to introduce a very novel bill. which.
although apparently at total variance
with the stipnlatious of the Bnrllngame
treaty. is really, he says, drawn within
the strict. letter Of that treaty, whose
guarantees. both direct and indirect
relate solely to the rights Of travel and
residence. He contends that the right
of residence does not necessarily in
clude Unrestricted rights TO procure in
this country the msans Of ma antaining
its cost. and he therefore believes that
he has discovered an effectual mode of
putting stop to Moneolian immigra-
ton by legislation without abrogatlng
any treaty, His new measure is not
likely to be regarded with much favnr
10 Congress; but if his view should
nrove to be correct there would be no
constitutional obstacle to state 'egisla-
ton of precisely the same character
The bill at all events is legislative
curiosity. It provides that after July

the situation as it appears to m is not
such as to bear out the many prcdic-

great benefits as its champions assert.

DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION,

APPALLING LOSS OF PROPERTY

~ NA/DsN W. AOSo UT fNOFEN 4
From the Mountaineer extra May 29.]
AT about 4 O'Clock yesterday after.
noon our citizens were thrown into in.
tense excitement by the ringing of the
fire bell, which was quickly answered
by the fire department and an immense
throng OF citizens on Second street.
from whence startling cries of Fire
Fire!" proceeded. The Pioneer Hotel
was completely enveloped in flames be-.
fore the engine was got TO working,
aud it was soon ascertained that it was
useless to attempt to ex,inguish it.
The engine withdrew to Third street
where it did good service in checking
the advance of the flames in thar di.
rection.
A steady wind from the west drove
the fire over to First street, takingin it's
destructive path the Walla Walla Hotel
and stores Of Bochow, Baum, Ruch and
Vogt Il Calenberg. By the time the
flames had reached Moody's corner. on
First, the wind had vcered to the south,
which, together with the effective serv-
ice Of volunteer bucket brigade, kept
the flames from crossing Washington
street. First street was overlapped
aud the old Empire Hotel was soon
ablaze. Thus was the width of two
whole blocks fast being reduced to
ashes. The wind continued to change
coming to a stand at southeast, and
every building from Washington to
Union street, between Second street
and the river, were burned. except Y
Z. Moody's and Raldwin's saloon which
two escaped with but little damage
On the west side of Second street all
but four were taken, and these were
terribly scorched Ii post office had
a most miraculous escape, the from

Long before the ruins in the burned
district had ceased to shoulder the

are mostly b..ilt 10 the street in order

About six of these ''shauties" have
