A SIOUX CITY BLAZE
NEARLY 100000 WORTH OF PROP
ERTY IN ASHES.
Fire Destroys the Warehouse Of tho
Western Transfer Company and
Partially Destroys q Linseed OH
MiIl-Loss About 100000.

Sioux City, March 23-One of the
most serious fires in the history OF
Sioux City completely destroyed the
warehouse of the Western Transfer
company at 200, Iowa street, with it's
contents, entailing loss Of more than
100000. The high wind which was
blowing communicated the flames to
the linseed oil mill across the street,
and it was partially destroyed and the
greater part Of it's contents consumed,
making a total loss Of $500, 900. The
wind, which had been blowing from
the southeast, now changed, and with
increased velocity blew for time d.
rectly from the east; This COMMUNE
Gated the flames to two big tanks
owned by the linseed oil mills and the
platforms on which they rested began
to burn fercely. Thousands of people
had congregated by this time, and
when they saw the tanks on fire there
was wild stampede. The storage
building was an immense structure,
15ox6O feet, including the brick oil
storage annex. The main part of the
elevator was five stories high and had
capacity of 10000 bushels In the
bins at the time was stored 100000
bushels OF faXSeed, and on the lower
floor several thousand tons of linseed
Oil cake were ready for the market
In the annex the oil was in huge
tanks, having an estimated capacity Of
10000 gallons.
When it was plain that nothing could
be done toward saving the implement
warehouse, the fremen turned their
attention to saving the oil mill storage
house. Mayor Fletcher telegraphed to
Lemars and Missouri Valley for the
fire departments Of those towns, and
they were soon in readiness to re-
spond, but when it was found that the
fire could be controlled messages were
sent to hold them back
The building of the Western Trans
Ter company was a mammoth frame
structure, four stories high, covered
with corrugated iron. The iron aided
the flames, as it kept the water from
reaching the woodwork. The huge
four-story and basement warehouse,
100x150 feet, was filed from top to
bottom with farm implements and ma
chinery, the value Of which was about
100000. This machinery was owned
by about twenty implement companies
in different parts of the United States.
Cotton Consumed.
New Orleans, March 23.-The cotton
trade of New Orleans, which has suf-
fercd greatly the past two or three
months on account of labor troubles on
the river, suffered another bow this
morning, when between $1,000 and 20
ocn bales were consumed by fire. The
contia grafton occurred in the Interna-
tioral Cotton Press, which is consid-
cred to be one of the largest presses in
the city. It is impossible to get the
exact number of bales consumed, but
from what employees Of the press say
there were nearly 10000 bales stored
in the two yards, which were burned
ovr. The loss will probably amount to
100000. A great deal Of the insur-
ance was placed in foreign companies
which have agencies in this city.

A magazine article says that the
American negro dialect as printed in
stories and songs, is in reality the lin

There is some truth in this, but it is
entirely true that the Yankee dialect
found In British stories is purely a
British invention. The real Yankee
talk escapes the English powers Of
apprehension.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20. The Times
Herald's Washington correspondent
sends the following: Naughty Spain
declines to permit the United States
to conduct an investigation into the
condition OF affairs in Cuba. The
project of sending a commission of
inquiry to Cuba has therefore been
abandoned. Secretary Olney did not
make a formal proposal of this ma
ture, but instructed the United States
minister at Madrid, Mr.. Taylor, to
sound the Spanish foreign office as to
its views. To this end inquiry was
orally made and an oral reply was
given thereto by the Spanish pre-
mier.
SenOr Canovas informed Mr.. Tay-
lor that Spain could not entertain
such proposal; that the rebellion in
Cuba was small affair, with which
Spain was abundantly able to deal
without assistance from any
other power. That Spain could not
for one moment consider any pro-
posal on the part of foreign power
to conduct an investigation into the
domestic affairs of his majesty's gov
ernment. Minister Taylor comn1uni-
Gated this reply to Secretary Olney
by telegraph, the dispatch was be-
fore the cabinet at its meeting on
Friday and the president and his
advisers agreed to abide by Spain's
decision.

ENQUIRER CONSIDERS HIS BOOK
A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION
TO HISTORY,
THE TRUTH NOT HALF TOLD
REGARDING INTRIGUES DURING
THE DAYS OF REPUBLICAN
ADMINISTRATOR
GARFIELD NOT a LEADER.
Wholly Under the Control of
Blaine and other Politicians
Saved by Assassination.

CINCINNATI, O.. Oct. 20. - The
Enquirer, editorially, today says:
The Enquirer presented yesterday
enough about the new book by SEN
ator Sherman to indicate that it is
probably the most valuabl contribu-
ton to the political history of this
country published for a generation
Sherman has always been a party
man, but history cannot be written
like a campaign document and the
historian cannot expect to escape
harsh feelings and perhaps severe
criticism if he writes of the times in
which he acted himself
Mr.. Sherman speaks in high terms
of the personality and eloquence of
Garfield, but says he was a man
lacking in will power and changed
his opinions easily. This is a faith
full picture, expressed in terms of
reserve. Mr.. Sherman might have
gone further and only reflected the
views of contemporaneous Republi-
can politicians who had association
with the martyr president, and said
that, while Garfield was a good
stumper and qualified to act in a
legislative body under direction and
restraint, he was unfit for leader
ship. The statement in this new
chapter in political history that Gar
field, in making UP his cabinet, was

RUSSIAN BEAR'S PAW

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 20.-Newspaper
advices received from Seoul say that
the Corean government confirms the
news of the queens death. 1t is re-
ported that the Russian minister has
protested against the maladministra-
ton of state affairs in Corea by the
Tai Won Kun, the father of the king,
and has demanded that the king
should administer affairs. 1t is be-
lieved that if the protest is ignored an
ultimatum will follow.
The Nichishimbun (newspaper) says
that the Japanese minister, Miura, and
other officials of the Japanese legation
are indicated as the principal foment-
ers of the disturbance, the Japanese
soldiers having acted on Minister Miu-
ra's orders against the views of the
Japanese advisers to the Corean gov
ernment, who declared that Minister
Miuras action would lead to serious
international complications. Orders
have been given that over forty Japan
ese residents of Seoul should be de-
ported.
A Toxic journal, the Asaki, says that
Minister Miura and the Japanese Of
ficials are returning to Japan under an
escort of gendarmes. The foreign
representatives at Seoul are stated to
have demanded protection for their
respective legations. All of them agree
in denouncing the Japanese as the
murderers of the queen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-The COM
missary general has submitted to the
secretary of war his annual report for
the past fiscal year. The report shows
the total resources for the fiscal year
1885 to have b en- s., ,557, ,147, and total ex-
penditures 81, 365, ,005, leaving a total bal
ance of $192,OS1.

With a view to improving the quality
of fresh beef under the changed con-

for the delivery of chilled beef This
insures the delivery of beef in better
condition than would otherwise have
been secured and the cost is only half
a cent a pound more than last year at
the same posts.
Under direction of the secretary of

medical department and three officers
of the line of the army to report upon

OUR FIGHTING HOOSIER.
Staunch Ship in n GaIe-OficiaIs
We'll Pleased.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20-The bat
tleship Indiana, which left Boston at
IL O'Clock Friday night, arrived at her
dock at Cramps Shipyard at 5 o'clock
TINS afternoon. On the trip the mem
bers of the government trial board
made six and half hours test of
the SHIPS coal consumption, the re-
suits of which will be worked out and
submitted to the secretary of the navy.
Edwin S. Cramp, who had charge of
the trip, said the Indiana averaged
thirteen knots an hour from Boston
10 delaware bredkWater, distance of
4l4 knots. This is almost equal to the
time made by cruisers under ordinary
draught, and is remarkably fast tray-
ellng when the fact is considered that
the Indiana is built for fighting and
not for speed. Last night the ship en-
countered a severe gale, but wealth
cred 1T beautifully. Only a few of
those who were on board when the
official trial off the Massachusetts
coast was made last Friday came
back on the ship. Capt Evans, her
future commander, stuck to his post
however, and was enthusiastic in his
praise OF the sea-going and fighting
qualities of his new charge. In an
interview he reiterated his former de-
claration that the Indiana is the finest
ship of her class af1oat, being far ahead
of any battleship attached to the navy
of any foreign power. He says that
on the run back the engines were
worked under forced draught for
awhile, and the patent log showed a
speed of sixteen and three-tenths
knots an hour. Capt. Evans will re-
main in Philadelphia until the finish
ing touches are put on the Indiana.
1t is expected that she will be ready
to go into commission soon after Nov.
L. She will then be given her govern
ment trial, which consists of a forty
elght-hour sea run. During the test
her guns will all be fired with the reg
ulation charge, and if everything
proves satisfactory the big floating
fortress will then be ready to take
her place with the Atlantic squadron.
The Indiana's sister ship, the Massa-
chusetts, is rapidly nearing compile
ton, her armor being placed in DO
sition as fast as it is received at the
shipyard. 1t is not believed, however,
that she will be given her official
trial before next spring.
