Explained.

The Death Of Bicyclist LEM Probably
Explained.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-A strange
stery that may explain the fate of F. j.
Lenz, the bicyclist, who started on a
tour of the world on bicycle, and who
disappeared in April last year, when
he left Tabriz, in Persia, to go to
Erazeroum, in Asiatic Turkey, comes
by way of Consantinople, and was re-
lated by Turkish sentry. While he
was In his sentry box one day little
English boy came riding through the
street on his bicycle. This machine
was source of wonder. to the Turk,
who hailed the lad and made a thor
ough examination Of the big wheel
While thus engaged he said it was
the second time he had seen such a
thing, his first experience having oc-
CURED when he was a guard on the
frontier between Persia and Turkey.
While attending to duty with COM
rade, there came tearing down the
road ON big wheels something that
appeared to the astonished Turks like
the very old Nick himself. At any
rate, both soldiers concluded 1t was
Satan, ana tney agreeo 10 Hre al MIN
and see what he would do. This idea
was promptly carried into effect.
The soldiers fired at the approach
ing object simultaneously. To their
amazement their shots took effect, and
the rider of the wheel tumbled off and
made.no effort to rise again.
An. investigation of this story re-
suited in ascertaining that the route
which Lenz intended to travel over
would carry him in a northwesterly
direction from Tabriz to Erzeroum,
and in so doing he would have to cross
the frontier about the locality described
by the Turkish soldier. Nothing
could be learned as to what disposition
was made of the body, and if it was
Lenz who perished in this manner it is
not likely his remains will ever oe
found.

OLDENBURG, June Reports have
been received here that Kobersdorf, a
Hungarian watering place, has been
submerged by the sudden freshets of
the swollen mountain steamer, twelve
persons are missing. The torrent
swept the country adjoining, carrying
away many of the massive bridges, and
the peasants fed to the hills for refuge.
Many families are reported homeless.
LONDON, June IA dispatch to the
Dailg Ne,rs from Vienna says that the
report from Kobersdorf makes it evil
dent that 100 persons are missing at
that place as result of the mountain
floods. Eighteen bodies have been re-
covered. A dispatch to the Standard
from Vienna gives additional partic-
plars. So sudden was the rise of the
freshet that it was not realized until
the bodies OF the dead peasaptry and
furniture from the cottages came aoat-
ing into the lower part OF the town.
One OF the remarkable incidents of the
food was related by some of the per-
sons who escaped to the mountains. 1t
was the story of the manner in which
a cradle, containing sleeping child,
was forced down the gorges by the
rushing waters. The child was res
cued with difficulty by the people In
the lower Part OF the village. Owing
to damage to the wires, it was impos-
sible to ascertain the exact loss of life,
but it Is feared that the whole town
has been destroyed. 1t Is known that
IL bodies of the Inhabitants Of this one
village have already been recovered.

FLOUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
California MiIlers Much Interested In

California MiIlers Much Interested in
Hills Scheme.
STOCKTON, CAL, June 7.-Much in.
terest is felt here over the announced
intention of James J. Hill, of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads, to start new line of steamers
in the flour trade with China. The
magnate of the north has announced
that he expects to be able to place -four
In the markets of the Orient 80 that it
can be sold for IL cents pound, or Is
cents sack Of so pounds. From the
city Of Stockton by each steamer that
leaves San Francisco for China many
thousands of sacks are shipped, and It
Is the opinion of the shippers here that
President Hill will find that he cannot
long ship the staple for sale at the
price named. 1t is his idea to place
the flour on the market at 80 low q
price that it will cause the Chinese to
use -four instead of rice.
In speaking of the matter, j. M.
Welsh, the pesident owner OF the
Crown mills, says:
"The present low price Of flour has
been the cause of the large shipments,
and during the present year many Of
the Chinese have learned to use the
American staple instead Of the Chinese.
At present California flour Is laid
down in the Chinese market for $500
Per barrel, Oregon -four can be placed
there for $3.50, or 87f cents per sack of
so pounds. The only reason that 1t
can be taken there at the low rate
mentioned is because the market for
wheat Is off, but If it should recuperate
and go to $1.25 there would be an end
to most of the -four trade with the
Orient. The reason that California
-four commands a higherprice in China
than the product of the northern mills
is because it is lighter -four. 1t
commands a better price in any
Market"

Two Ranches near Pendleton Swept by
Fire.
PENDLEToN. June 10.--A remark
able ranch fire, entailing loss OF $780,
600, occurred early this morning at
Pilot Rock, 18 miles from Pendleton,
on the large sheep ranch of Chas. Cum
min CHAM, the most extensive WOOL
grower of the Inland Empire. Six
thousand dollars worth of buildings,
furniture and supplies were destoyed.
All the ranch buildings, except one
wool barn, were destroyed. Mr.. Cum
ningham has another ranch, several
miles distant from this one, where
there was also a fire, causing great
loss. At the Pilot Rock ranch, at 3
o'clock this morning, the proprietor
being absent, the employees saw. two
masked men leave the vicinity OF the
ranch h-house. They went stealthily
and hurriediy down the canyon,
mounted horses, and rode in the direc-
tion of the other ranch. Soon the
flames burst out at the Pilot Rock
ranch In dozen places. Hurrying to
ascertain the cause, the occupants OF
the house, 20 or 80 sheepmen, found
gallons of kerosene in the place dis
tributed along the long line of build.
ings. The ranch people scarcely had
time to escape with their lives from
the large frame building, which was
mass OF roaring flames, as were also
other extensive sheds and barns.
These were consumed inside of half an
hour, --
