PRESIDENT NUNEZ DEAD.
Chief Executive of the Repubi C
of Columbia Passes

Colon, Colombia, Sept. 21.-It is Off
cially announced here that DR.. Rafael
Nunez, president of the republic of Co
lombia, died on Tuesday morning of gas
trio fever.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-Julio
Rangifo, charge d'affaires of the Colon
bian legation, says that President NuneZ
was generally regarded as the ablest and
most patriotic statesmen of the republic.
His residence in the United States as a
consular officer years ago had given him
a close acquaintance with the affairs OF
this government, and he had used his in
tiuence to model his own government
after that of the United States. The
charge daffaires does not anticipate trou-
bic over the succession. as PreSldent
NuneZ, during the greater part OF his thlfd
term, has exercised more of moral IN
tiuence over the affairs of the country
than an executive direction. On ac-
count of i'll health he was unable to en-
dure the climate of the capital, Bogota,
and has remained at his home in FL Ca
brero. near Cartagena, while the VICE
president. Miguel Antonio Caro-, has been
the real executive head of the govern
melt.
Mr. Rangifo thinks that the yice-presi-.
dent will remain in control to the END OF
the siX-year term for which President
Nunez was elected in 1892. A close
watch will be kept of Colombian affairs
by the diplomatic and naval representa-
tives of the United States owing to the
lea. 1t is hoped that the new admins !,
te.,tion will prove stable, but shou!d
trouble be threatened a naval vessel VIII

it upon the floor, at the same time NOV

secreted the key. These preparations
were too much for Gore who pounded on
the door and cried for help. AS no assist

LOSS OVER A MILLION.
Vast Railway Interests at Portland,
Or, Destroyed by Sun
day Fire

Portland, Or, Sept 24.-The most dis
astrous fire in the history Of this city
broke out at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday after
noon in the dock of the Pacific coast
Elevator company and ragged for three
hours, destroying property valued at
nearly 81 800, 600
The fire started in the dock below the
Pacific Coast Elevator companys main
building and the wind soon drove the
flames to the elevator itself. The flames
shot into the air 200 feet, making a beau
tiful sight in the twilight. The coal bunk
ers of the Northern Pacific Terminal
company on the west side were next at
tackled and soon We're a seethlng mass or
flames. On the east was the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation cOmpanys
wharf, 400 feet in length, and this, too,
was soon on fire. There was no means
of getting water on the fire except from
the river, and the freboat is an impro-
vised old scow and of very little service.
The elevator contained nearly 100000
bushels of wheat The new plant of the
Portland General Electric company,
which had just arrived from Lynn, Mass,
was standing in the wards of the Iermi-
nal company on the cars, not having been
unloaded. The plant occupied an entire
train and the machinery was OF the most
expensive kind, the most of which was
destroyed and the remainder badly dam
aged. Two hundred freight cars, eighty
OF which We're loaded, were destroyed.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
docks held 1900 tons of freight, consist
ing Of wool, salmon, general MERCHANDISE
and cement, all of which was destroyed
with the dock. There were stored on the
dock about 10000 cases of salmon from
the lower Cqluphia river. and Puget
Sound, awaiting shipment for the East:
1t was valued at about 10000 and was
partly insured The large steamboat
Willamette Chief, moored at the yard,
took fire and was burned. She was used
as tow boat and was valued at about
$40, OON Three men are supposed to
have persisted in the elevator. Charles
Anderson, Il man named Brown and one
man named Murray, were seen at an
upper story window of the elevator and
it is thought they were all burned. The
losses, as nearly as can be ascertaned at
this time, are as follows: North Pacific
Elevator company, $500,0O0; Portland
General Electric company, machinery
$50, 600; coal bunkers of the North Pa
cific Terminal company, $4,000: Oregon
Railway and Navigation company. on

cite Chief, S250,000; merchandise on
docks. 100000. The insurance car
ried will reach more than 100000. The
