A STEAMER BURNED,
The Passengers Compelled to Take to Rafts and Barely Escaped Death.

The Passengers Compelled to Take to
 Rafts and Barely Escaped Death.
 PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 13.-Yesterday the passenger steamer J. H. Libby, from Whatcom, Puget Sound, was totally de- stroyed by fire in the straits between Dangeness and Smiths Island. Fifteen passengers were on board the boat at the time.
 The Libby was laden with 800 barrels of lime which got wet and ignited. While crossing the straits a strong wind came up, and several heavy seas were shipped. An accident to the rud- der left the ship helpless. The passen- gers were compelled to take to two rafts, the rapid progress of the flames render ing the life boats useless. One of the rafts nearly foundered before those clinging to it were rescued. The steam boat Jean finally took all from the rafts. The hull of the Libby was brought here and sunk.
 The steamer with cargo was valued at S20, 900. She was owned by Herbert F. Beecher, late Government agent at Port Townsend. Several bags of United States mail were burned with the steamer,

TIRE ETERRlBLE BLIZZARD.
The Snow Blockade in Colorado Raise d
 and the Suffering People Relieved.

The Snow Blockade in Colorado Raised
 and the Suffering People Relieved.
 DENVER, Col, Nov. 1o.-For the first time in eight days, through train ar rived from tho South, the snow block ade on the Denver, Texas and Fort Worth Railway, running due south from this point, having been raised. The situation along the line was rapidly becoming desperate, as entire towns had run short of supplies, while ranches within a radius of fifteen or twenty miles were completely cleaned out of stores.
 Stockmen say they have never ex- perienced such blizzard on the South ern ranges, and especially at this season.
 In the vicinity of Folsom, N. M., it is said on good authority that 50, 900 sheep were on the drive to the railway for shipment to Nebraska and Kansas feeders.
 The fall of snow has averaged over three feet on the level, while the force of the wind has piled the snow in huge drifts as high as fifteen and twenty feet. Hardy range cattle were unable to face the terrible blasts or rustic to un- cover the grass or find water. The loss of beef Is simply enormous.
 Adv1ces from nearest points continue to tell of great loss of life among shepherds and cowboys who remained faithful to their docks and died at their posts of duty.
 A special from Raton, N M, states that losses on cattle alone will aggre- gate 10000 head and result in the ruin Of several companies.

The Attorneys in the Cronin Trial Get
 Excited and Call Names.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-The Cronin trial was enlivened with an encounter be- tween Lawyer Forest, of the defense, and Attorney Hynes, of the prosecution, that was prevented from resulting se- riously by the intervention of some friends.
 It was tho continuation of wrangle commenced in court. Forest intimated that Hynes' sense of honor was derived from the unsavory Welch bribery case. The Irish lawyer retorted that Forest never learned honor from anywhere. The talk became hotter and louder, un- til Forest intimated that the peniten tiary was Hynes' proper abode, when the latter yelled, ''You're big liar and jury fiXer." Then Forest made dash for his opponent, but the men were quickly separated.
 Great progress was made in the trial, Burke, kunze and Begg being the tar gets for the States guns. Incidentally the chief triangler was connected with the testimony, but he was quickly drop ped, like a bomb with a lighted fuse. Considerable time was devoted to show ing that Kunze, from April 14 until ar rested, went under the name of John Kaiser For this purpose Henry Buck holz, Charles Herkimer and Joseph Petowski were called. Petowski also told of Kunz's stories about vacant cottage In Lax eNiew.

REED HAS THE GALL
The Maine Congressman Leads
 for the Speakership.
MAJ.McK1NLEY MAY WITHDRAW
1t is Believed that the Result of the Ohio
 Election Has Injured His Chances.

Talk of a Combination Against Reed-
 Members Arriving at the Capital and
 Cannon, Henderson and Burrows at
 Work for Notes.-The President Appoints
 a Deputy Pension Commissioner.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Several mem bers of Congress arrived in the city to- day, and before the end of the week it is expected that a ma jority of the House will be here. Three of the Speakership candidates-Messrs.C Cannon, Henderson and Burrows-are actively at work but tonholing for votes
 There is no question but that to-day Reed has the pole in tho race. It Is now with him simply a question whether there will be more members who will give him a complimentary vote on the first ballot than will como to him as a second choice after the first ballot. Opinions on this point are about equally divided. Many contend that he cannot be elected unless he has over siXty-five votes from the start and shows good gain on the second ballot.
 The result of the election in Ohio last week has undoubtedly done Major McKinleys Speakership canvass vio- lence, and there are those who predict that It may leau n1m Io "ltnufa" iro" the race. Some of his friends, how ever, say that it will do him good; that it emphasizes Ohio as doubtful State, and that since his district is to be gerry mandered he ought to be made Speaker so as to help him to a reelection. It will be remem bered that MT. Reed was given plimentary vote for the Speakership in the fifty eight Congress upon his own request, for the purpose of assisting him before his constit- uency.
 There is talk of all the other candi- dates having a conference with view, since it is the field against Reed, of consolidation.

 PITTsBuRe, Nov. 12.--A gigantic pool, In which all the leading widow glass manufacturers of the United States, will cooperate as to price sof product and other matters of importance to the trade, is now in process o organiza- tion.
 When completed the combination will include the members of sthe Pitts burg Consolidated Window Glass Com pany, the United Glass Company of Chicago and the Chambers A Mckee Tank Glass Company at JeaneAte. There is strong probability that all the win dow glass manufacturers of Baltimore and the large concerns in Ohio and In diana, which are controllea by the United Company, will also enter the combination.
 The object in view is the cpnsolida- tion of all the window glass companies for self protection. When the consoli- dation is completed all the property be- longing to each firm win De turned into the co-operative company, the value being fixed by the Board of Ap- praisers. Each firm will then receive shares of stock in proportion to their plants.
