An Appalling Disaster.

The Dispatches are burdened this
week 10y the details Of another horror,
whereby LOO persons were hurled
into eternity. This disaster occurred
at Santander, Spain, Friday night,
and was the explosion of a ship-load
OF dynamite, on the ship NOlO while
lying at the dock. II seems that the
ship took fire, and n large crowd
gathered about unaware of the dan
g'rous nature OF the cargo. The Gov
crnor OF the province directed the cf-
forts OF the tiremen to subdue the
flames, although he was aware OF the
dangerous explosion go near at hand.
When the fire reached the dynamite,
there was an explosion which de-
stroyed sixty houses, and damaged
many Others, and the latest informa-
ton places the number of human
lives sacrificed at 1000. The people
of the city were paralyzed by the dis
aster, and no effort was made to ex-
tinguish the fire which resulted
from the flaming brands that we're
thrown broadcast by the mighty
power. kilograms were sent to Val
encia, Burgos and Valladolid for en-
sines and men to fight the fire, but it
was impossible to check the flames
when they arrived, and FULLY one-half
the city is in ashes.
Santander is city OF $1,000 popu-
lation, on the Bay of Biscay, POI miles
north of Madrid, Spain. 1t has been
q busy and thriving place, possessing
manufacturers, boundaries, tanneries,
breweries and fish-curing establish
ments. Its commercial relations with
South America and Cuba are import

to $1,000, New York 10000, Massa-
chusetts $4,000, Pennsylvania 10000,
Iowa $4,000. A heroic remedy is
sometimes servicable in saving life
when all else fails. May those who
hold the reins be admonished in time.

Some Benefits Of the Fair,

A. ID. Charlton, Asst. Gen. Passen-
ger Agent of the Northern Pacific
r. r. Co., at Portland, Oregon, re.
turned Monday to that city, from q
trip to Chicago and the East. Speak.
ing of the results OF the Fair, he gives
this promising picture OF an immediate
effect that will be felt by the north.
west coast.
He says: The Midway Plaisance
never presented more lively appear
ance than does the Northern Pacific
depot at st. Paul at present. 1t is
crowded from morning to night with
people who visited the Worlds Fair
and after a careful scrutiny of the
products of the various States, decided
that the Northwest offers better in.
ducements than any other section Of
the country.
"The average number of people de-
parting each day since Oct. 20, is 80
OF these it is estimated that As pei
cent. are persons who intend to settle
in the Northwest, and the remaining
65 per cent. are residents of the
coast returning from the fair. All
or at least most of the prospective
settlers, purchased tickets for Oregon
and Washington, and will, without
doubt locate in one of these two
States. Had Oregon erected State
building at the fair its products would
have received more attention, but al
it was, the magnificence of the ex
hibits which carried off prizes did not
receive the attention they warranted
During the last week, the Washington
building was crowded from morning
until night with persons desiring to
see exhibits and get literature issued
by the State. However, all persons
intending to come west obtained
pamphlets descriptive of Oregon, and
saw our exhibit. This State will
reap ae much benefit as its northern
neighbor."

A VICTORY FOR THE HEATHER
CHINEE. The Six Companies" and
their attorneys have been too much
for the U. s. Government backed up
by a decision that established the con-
stitutionality of the Geary law beyond
question. Attorney General Olney,
last Saturday, gave orders to the U. s.
Marshals, having Cinnamon in custody
ordered deported by the United States
courts, to discharge them, unless
charged with something more than
the violation OF the exclusion law. 1t
is said that tacit understanding
exists between the Six Companies and
the U. s. Government that all China
men in the country will comply with
the requirement of registration within
six months embraced in the new law.

THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
A special force of police have been de-
tailed to guard the White Honse
against an assault from dan.
gerous crank, who halls from Boise,
Idaho. 1t seems that the informa-
ton came from the keeper of a res
taurant at Boise. He declares that a
short time ago a miner came to his
place of business, who was out of en-
ployment, and in the course of heat
ed discussion upon the silver question,
declared that if the repeal bill passed
he would kill the man who he knew
should be held responsible for its pass
age. The man disappeared and the
restaurant keeper deemed it his duty
to proceed to Washington and give
warning. Immediately upon arrival
he started for the White House, and
found lurking about the promenade
the same individual who had threat
ened the Presidents life. He then
went to the police and told the story.
The information was considered of
sufficient importance to warrant
measures of safety.
