damned Her Through.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 29.--The steamer
Bailey Gatzert ran into the draw of the
railroad bridge across the Willamette
river this morning and wrecked her dsek
almost it's whole length. The steamer was
about half her length through the draw
when it began to close. Pilot Larliin, who
was at the wheel blew his whistle yigor-
ously but the draw continued to close and
damned the steamer against the pier of
the bridge. The entire upper deck was
demolished but none of the IS passengers
aboard were seriously injured. The dam

WOman's Suffrage Meeting.

CHICAGO, Ill, November 10
Friends and supporters of political
equality from this and other states as
sembled here today in the annual con-
ference of the National American Wo-
mans Suffrage association. The
venerable Susan B. Anthony presided,
and Carrie G, Gait of New York del
ivered the opening address. Judge M.
F. Tuley, the Oldest member of the
Chicago judiciary, spoke at length to
demonstrate thst the state needed wo-
mans ballot, while Mrs. A. F. Stevens
pointed out, why Wage Earning Wo-
men Needed the Suffrage" Mary E.
Holmes scored the fearful and the
lukewarm, and Mary G. Remick took
the ground that education, rather than
sex: should be the test of suffrage. A
notable feature of the conference was
the presence of a large number of wo-
men who have demonstrated their
ability by holding positions under the
and state governments.

Two Millions Went Up in

in BUSINESS CENTER.
FOrty-Six Firms Burned Out on One
Street Besides lhe Damage on Other
Streets The General POstOffice
Was in Danger.

LONDON, November 19-The most
extensive fire that bas occurred in
London in years started this afternoon
in Oppenheimer's paper factory, nesr
Alo ers gate street. The flames ra pidly
spread To Wells, Jarris and Hamsell
s;ree:s S, and Michsel's square and at
2:30 p. m twenty large warehouse }
were burning. The fire is still beg oud

The entire fire fighting force of Loa adon
has been summoned to the scene. A
serious panic prevails in the district
surrounding the burning houses aud
occupants of h uses aud shops in the
vicinity are taxing out their goods
and effects as speedily as possible, and
sitting them up in the streets. The
streets are narrow and are blocked
with debris of burning buildings. The
fire has extended to within four hun
dred yards of the general po-toffi ,e.
A light westerly wind blowing wh;cn
tends to carry the flames in that
direction. A large force of police ere
engaged in clearing the str Its. The
loss is ten million dollars already.
The spre. I'd of the flames seems to be
still making progress northeasterly in
a wedge shaped line. The immense
building of Thomas Norman & Son,
wholesale stationers and maaufac-
lures was the last structure to
go on Wells street. The hugh build
ing burned so ferce'y that the fremen
were compelled to withdraw to con-
distance. The fire is suppos-
ed to have originated from an explo- |
sion of gas in warehouse in Hamsell |
street. Six buildings on both |
sides of the street were |
ablaze before the firemen |
got well at work. The extremely mar
row streets and limited water supply |
rendered their efforts almost futile for
peIrly three hours. FOrty-three busi-

burned out and fifty buildings all of

WASHINGTON, November 19.-Tbe
administration is very much pleas ed at
the release of the Competitor prisoners
and iris question out of the way, and
regards it as a victory added to many
other concessions recently granted by
Spain. The president is also satisfied
at the efforts of the new Spanish min
istry to apply genuine autonomy to
Cuba and feels that when congress re-
views all that has been done by Spain
to improve the condition of the Cubans,
it also will be satisfied and the Cuban
bellieereucy bill will not be passed.
An sttempt will, however, be made to
force the hand of the president on the
Cnban question:, and this is already
evident from the talk of the pro-Cubap
sen ators who are in the city. Senator
Chandler is satisfied that some kind of
Intervention resolutions will be passed
