WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-General Theo-
dore S. West, one Of the proprietors OF the
Langham hotel in this city, died suddenly
this morning at Ashbury Park, N. j., sup

lima, who, in quarrel over board bill on
July 6, struck West in the face with an um-
brella, breaking his nose and then knocked
him down and jumped on him. The quarrel
was renewed later in the day and West
was so badly punished that he has not
since been able to get around. Ruffin was
arrested at the treasury department today.

Fell in Molten Sand.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 16.-To-day a
shocking accident occurred near this city,
in which Walter Wells and a Chinaman
named Chang Long, probably received ia
tai injuries. Both men were engaged at
brickyard. By sudden giving way of the
bulkhead at one end of the kiln, both per-
sons fell into the mass of almost red hot
sand. Before they could be extricated they
were horribly burned, portions of their
bodies being literally cooked They pre-
sented fearful spectacle. Wells, it is
thought, cannot possibly recover. The
Chinaman will probably live.

of the commission, are being entertained by
the city, and after a few days rest they
will go to the Chicasaw country. Judge

only the sale of the strip, but the opening
of the territory, as the power of the press
cannot be long resisted.
Colonel Boudinet is preparing an exhaus-
