From the initial point the fire spread
north and south distance Of one mile.
Every newspaper, hotel, telegraph office,
railroad depot and wharf in the city was
totally destroyed. The entire water
front, including all wharves and docks,
coal bunkers and railway tracks,
The wholesale quarter, and every
thing south of Union Street
and west of Second Street and reaching

pletely burned. There is great priva-

The burnt district, comprising sixty
four acres, now presents the aspect of
a huge oven of burning Goals, and
threatens even further destruction.
The tiremen, reinforced by Tacoma
and SnohOmich, are on the alert. The
streets all through the night were
crowded with people wandering about
penniless and homeless. The militia
and extra police are to be seen on every
corner, guarding the property against
thieves and vandals. One hundred ar
rests have already been made. All of
the daily newspapers will publish to-
morrow.
Words fail TO describe the awful pic
ture of the fire and desolation. 1t is
like the Chicago fire, and like Chicago
will be rebuilt. Every ybody seems in
good spirits, as it is hard to realize the
dreadful tullness of this sudden calami-
ty.
When Toklas & Singerman's building
fell, about thirty people were near it
and many of them were crushed. SINH

PORTLAND, Ore, June Late dis
patches from Seattle state that the loss
will not fall short of $l0,000,000. 1t is
estimated that the total insurance will
reach all the way from 81, 100000 to ST.,
100000. Already in many places the
workmen have begun to grade and clean
up the lots preparatory to building.
Many of the merchants have secured
quarters IN the residence portion of the
city, and are open this morning with the
remnants of their stock saved from the
fire. The people, at meeting to-day,
decided to rebuild with brick and stone.

SWEPT BY 4 TORNADO.
Great Damage in New York state by High
Winds,

Urea, n. Y, June l0.-Word is re-
ceived here this morning that terrific
wind storm passed through Port Ley
den, Lewis County, and the lower por-
ton of Jefferson County, about O clock
yesterday afternoon, unroohng houses
and overturning trees, fences and build
lngs, and doing much other damage.
The steepie OF the Catholic Church
In Port Ieyden was blown down, and
one on the Methodist Episcopal Church
moved IN such q manner as to make 1t
dangerous. One house was picked up
and carried about 1C0 feet, an old gem
tleman and lady living therein being in
jured. The most damage was done in
path about eighty rods wide, though
trees and fences were overturned in a
wide territory. The wires are all down,
and particulars cannot now be obtaiued
The tornado was caused by storms
coming from two directions and uniting
north of this city. From the point of
uniting the direction was north
easterly. The reports that come
every hour bring news of greater
destruction to property in Lewis County
ana IN the southern part of Jefferson
County. The destruction to crops,
fences and orchards is said to be very
large.
In Port Leyden the buildings and
sheds of the iron works were totally
demolished. Scarcely chimney is to be
seen in Port all Leyden, and the streets
are simply impossible because of TIE
debris from trees and houses.
At fhinney settlement, six miles from
Port Leyden, Mr. and Mrs Phinney
were seriously injured. They were
carried in their house about 80 feet, and
were injured while trying 10 escape
from the building in its progress.

SLAIN WITH A HAMMER.
A Cleveland Boy Cruelty Murders a
Youue Girl.

Aouns Glrl.
CLEVELAND, O., June lO.-For over a
month Cleveland has been excited
over the disappearance of little girl
named Maggie Thompson. She was not
quite years old, was bright and at
ractive, and wealthy people who
we'd in the neighborhood of her
parents home made up reward
for her recovery. Everything possible
was done by the police and newspapers
to restore her to her family. As tele-
graphed last night, her mutilated re-
mains were found under the house of
Henry Lueth, German cabinet maker
on Merchant Avenue.
Lueth lives less than 200 feet from the
Thompson family. He and his wife and
son were placed under arrest. Har-
rassed and confused by the sharp ques-
tons of the officers, who slowly but
surely were entangling him in a net
of his own contradictions, young Otto
Lueth, the son, finally broke down
and confessed that he had committed
the horrible crime. He said that
Thompson passed his house at about
noon, on her way from school, and asked
him for button to put on button
string" He enticed the little girl into
the house and up stairs. He placed her
on bed and killed her with hammer
or ratchet. He LEFT the body on the
bed until the following Wednesday,
when he carried it to the cellar, where
it was founds When asked what motive
he had for the murder, he said that he
bad had a couple of drinks of LIQUOR,
and must have been crazy. In answer
to questions he finally admitted that he
had attempted to assault the girl.
Young Lueth, the self-confessed mur-
derer, says that he is Is years of age,
but he looks older He is tall and slen-
der, with dark eyes and brown hair
His head is peculiarly shaped, ard his
forehead is very low. At the time of
the murder Lueth, the father, was out
of the city at work, and the mother WAS

THE CRONiN CASE.
The jury in the Coroners Inquest Re-
turns n Verdict,

At 1925 O'Clock on the night of the
18th. the coroner's jury in the Cronin
case at Chicago, brought in its verdict,
the features of it being recommends
ton that Alexander sullivan be held,
also the three already under arrest. At
1890 officers went to Sullivan's resi-
dence to arrest him, and he is now IN
jail.
The Jury finds that Dan Coughlin, P.
O. Sullivan, Alex. Sullivan and one
Woodruff, alias Black, were either prin-
cipals, accessories or had guilty knowl-
edge of the plot to murder DR.. Cronin
and conceal his body, and should be
held to answer to the grand jury.
1t also believes that other
persons were engaged in this
plot and should be spprehended and
held to the grand jury. 1t further
states that this conspiracy or plot, IN It's
inception and execution, was the most
foul and brutal that ever came To their
knowledge. 1t recommends that the
authorities offer a large reward for the
apprehension and conviction OF all par
ties engaged IN IL IN any way,

JUNE CROP REPORTS.
The Condition of Winter and SprlcG


Wheat Continues High.
The returns OF the Agricultural De-
partment show a slight increase in the
winter wheat area seeded, but the
breadth harvested may be possibly l.,
0O0,HO acres more than in the last crop,
largely from Kansas and California.
The seeded and harvested area in Kan
sas will this year be nearly identical,
and the large breadth in California,
which ls cut for wheat N years of low
yield, will in part be harvested for grain
this season. The question of areas
will be tested later as thoroughly as
possible by partial local census at var
lous points. The condition of winter
wheat still remains comparatively high.
though it has fallen three points during
the last month, and averages % for the
country. The following state averages
are given: New York, 96; Pennsyl-
vania. 80; Maryland, 9S; Virginia, 81;
Georgia, %; Texas, IS; Kentucky, So;
Ohio, IS; Michigan, so; Indiana, 80; III
inois. 92;' Missouri, 9S; Kansas, 9S; Cali
iornia, 9S.
The area Of spring wheat has appar-
emily increased about 3 per cent. The
preliminary estimates show q loss of
per cent in Wisconsin and ] in Mime
sofa, and gain of l in Iowa, 8 IN Ne
braska, and in Dakota, with increase
in the mountain region. Further in-
vestigation may disclose the changes OF
the year more exactly. The condition
of spring wheat is high, except in parts
of Dakota, where it has suffered from
drought. The averages are rs follows;
Wisconsin 96; Minnesota, 90; Dakota,
S.; Nebraska, 90; Iowa, 80. The condi-
ton is generally high in the mountain
districts. The average is nearly 95 70,
the entire spring wheat breadth.
An increase of from 2 to per cent.
in the area of oats is reported, while
condition is points below the normal
standard of full crop. The area of
barley is about the same as last year.
and its average of condition %. Rye
has made no perceptibie advance in
area. and its general average of condi'
ton is 90.

New YORK, June S.-This afternoon
it was authoritatively stated that the
stockholders of the Southern White
Lead Company of st. Louis and ChIca-
go have finally sold their stock in
the company TO the National Lead
Trust. This company has very large
works, at both Chicago and st. Louis,
and its output of white lead and red
lead, for several years past, has been
much the largest of any in the
United States, and, in fact, of
any in the world. The Eckstein
Company, of Cincinnati, has also signed
a contract to sell to the trust, and word
reaches here that negotiations looking
to the absorption of the Atlantic mills of
Brooklyn are: on foot. By these acqui-
sitions the trust gains control of over 50
per cent. of the output of the United
States
