A WINNIPEG CONFEDERATION,
The Canadian Pacific Depot En-
tirelY Destroyed.

WINNIPEG, Man., March Fire broke
out at an early hour this morning in the Can
adian Pacific Railway depot and the struc-
ture was totally consumed. The alarm was
late in, owing to some defect in the box.
and the central exchange failed 10 respond
to the telephone call, and as result the fire
gained too much Roadway ere the arrival of
the brigade, whose efforts thereafter were
directed to combining the fire to the building
in which it originated. They prevented its
reaching any other property, although a
very little more wind would have resulted
by a terrible confiagratiOn. The origin of
the hire is a mystery, unless it was BY gas
or some combustible substance in the bag
gage-room, where the fire started. The
building and contents were valued at $780,
600. and there is only insurance to the ex-
tent of $40, 900. All the offices have been
thoroughly Quilted except what may be
saved of the contents of the safes. Two
men who slept in the Dominion express
Office narrowly escaped with their lives.
Business was resumed in the old station to-
day pending the construction of new build
ing. which will be even upon more elab-
crate scale than the one destroyed.

PORTLAND, Or, March between
midnight and o'clock this morning mob
of eighty masked men, divided into squads
of twenty each, visited the Chinese work
ing back of East Portland and Albina and
the eastern suburbs of this city. and drove
them out. There were $50 Chinese in all,
and all of them were engaged in wood
chOpping and grubbing on land lying one
to three miles back of the towns mentioned.
Some of the men wore masks. others had
their faces blackened. and others wore
sacks over the head with holes for the eyes.
All were armed. They went to the camps
where the Chinese were asleep. routed them
out. displayed revolyers and ordered them
them to pack up and leave at once. The
Chinese offered no resistance, and allowed
themselves to be driven to a ferrybOat and
taken TO this city. The mob worked with
great secrecy. The night was dark and
the officers of the law knew nothing of its
action until the Chinese arrived here and
were marching up the street from the ferry
