GENERAL NEAL DOW DEAD.
Famous Prohibitionist Passes Peacefully
Away at His Maine Home.

Away at His Maine Home.
PORTLAND, Me-, Oct. 4.-Neal Dow,
the famous prohibitionist, died at $3.50
p. III. He has been gradually sinking
for the past three or four days, and had
for the "a hours previous to his death
been unconscious most of the time.
General Dow was born in Portland
in 1904, and in Portland he lived all his
life, in the house he built for his bride.
He came from Quaker stock and was
educated among Friends.
General Dow spent most of his life in
the cause of temperance, laboring not
only in his own state, but in many
others, and at times in England and
in Canada. More than 40 years ago,
when he was mayor of Portland, he
drew up the first prohibition law, and
from that time until the day of his
death he defended it against efforts to
disparage it's workings, to repeal it or
to weaken it by compromise, and la
bored to extend its provisions beyond
the community where it originated.
General Dow entered the army as
colonel of the Thirteenth Maine volun.
teers. He received two wounds in ser.
vice and was also prisoner at Libby
prison.

WILL BRING NO GOLD.
Steamer Portland Turns Back Before
Reaching st. MichaeIs.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 4.-The steamer
Northfork from Alaskan ports brings
the news that the s:ca,cor Portland,
which sailed fos 81. Mlcnaels with a
Maxim gra IA her bows to ward off
pirates, is on her way home again with
out having accomplished the object Of
her voyage. She got as far as Dutch
Harbor only. There portion of her
passengers and freight were disem-
barked and she is now homeward
bound, having neither miners nor mug
gets, nor company gold aboard her.
The latest news in regard to the
steamer Hamilton is to the effect that
she cannot possibly get beyond RAM
part city, but that 20 Of her passengers
were making an effort to pull up the
river to Dawson, with little chance Of
success. Thirty-f five passengers who
have given up all hope of reaching the
Klondike this season returned on the
Northfork. All reports coming from
the mining district confirm the reports
of prospective famine this winter.

Ter rible Scenes of Death and
Devastation in the Prov
ince of Manitoba.
Seven People Burned to Death
and Scores of Others Mar
roWly Escaped.
CarcaSSeS Of Horses and Cattle
Dot the Ground All Over
the District.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 4.-The prairie
fire which ragged all over the country
Saturday, famed and driven by a gale
of wind, died out during the night and
the morning sun dawned upon terri
BILE scene Of death and devastation.
Farmhouses, implements, crops and
livestock were everywhere consumed
and many farmers lost their all.
A most lamentable story comes from
Beauzjour, 40 miles east of this city,
where two women and five children
were burned to death. Fire came upon
their house, which was in the woods,
from two directions simultaneously and
shut off all means Of escape. Only a
few charred remains were found.
There were many narrow escapes.
Carcasses of horses, cattle and sheep
are lying all over the district and a
number of families of foreigners are
Homeless and Utterly Destitute.
At Bagot, rs miles west, the Canadian
Pacific railroad station and seven cars,
with 10000 bushels of wheat, number
of stores, cold storage warehouse and
Farmer Waldron's farm buildings and
crops were totally destroyed. The little
town was practically wiped out Of ex-
istence.
At Stony Mountain fire ran up to the
Canadian Pacific railroad platform,
where, by desperate efforts, its progress
was stayed. Much hay and grain was
consumed in this district.
In the Lake Francis district north.
west of the city there was also exten-
sive destruction of crops. A young
farmer named Markham was terribly
burned while
Trying to Save His Property.
At Oakland on the Portage branch of
the Northern Pacific railroad, several
hundred cords of wood and thousands
of tons Of hay were licked up. Just
southwest of this city there is large
hay marsh and fire was driven over
this, consuming everything in its
course.
Nearly every farmer lost his hay and
many also lost their grain and imple-
ments. There were large bands of
horses and cattle pasturing on the
marsh and the charred carcasses of the
animals dot the ground every few
PAGES. Jack rabbits and prairie chick.
ems were also destroyed. The people in
this district were anxious for some
hours as it was feared that the fire
would come into the suburbs where
many valuable residences are located.
A timely change of the wind averted
this impending danger.

New Spanish Premier OutlireS
His Course In Relation
to Cuban Affairs.
Weyler Will Be Recalled and
the Conservative Cam
paign Reversed.
Offer of the United States as
Mediator Cannot Be Ac-
Cepted, He Says.

New YORK, Oct. A dispatch to
The World from Madrid says: The
World correspondent called on Premier
5agasta, who said in response to
queries: "You ask me if the Liberal
party would assent TO mediation by
The United States with view to has,
tening the pacitication Of Cuba and in.
iucing the rebels in arms and the exiles
10 accept autonomy. Why should we
need mediation when our intentions
long and often expressed by the Liberal
party-aim at realizing all that America
could suggest?
"No Spanish party, certainly not the
Liberals, could assent to foreign inter-
ference in our domestic affairs or
with our colonies. No government
could hope to induce the nation to &C.
eept such interference.
"If America, as we firmly believe and
hope, is disposed to be sincerely friend
ly with us, let her enforce the rules Of
information law and stop the flow Of
Moral and Material Aid,
without which the insurrection could
not last six months. We shall reverse
completely the policy of the last two
years in Cuba, beginning, naturally,
with the recall of Weyler.
II informed the queen that the Lib.
eral party would accept the response
bilities of Office most willingly if her
majesty honored the party with her
confidence; that the Liberal party had
plans for all the leading questions of
the day in Spain, and certainly would
grant to Cuba autonomy along the
lines traced in the progremme of the
Cuban autonomists themselves.
"The Liberal party is prepared to
grant to Cuba all possible self-govern-
ment, broad tariff and every conces-
sion compatible with inflexible defense
of Spanish rule and sovereignty in the
West Indies. We believe this will sat-
isfy the majority OF the Cubans and we
will act thus spontane ously."

THE RAILS SPREAD.
Two Killed and Many Injured in q Denver
and Rio Grande Wreck.


and Rio Grande Wreck.
CoToPAXI, Colo, Oct. 4.-The first
section of the Denver and Rio Grande
narrow gauge train No. met with an
accident just west of here at a. m.
The accident is believed to have been
caused by the spreading of the rails.
Two passengers were killed, five seri-
ously injured and eight slightly hurt.
The train was made up of one baggage
car, three tourist cars, one coach, three
sleepers and pay car. One coach,
three sleepers and the pay car left the
track and rolled over on their sides.
The wreck occurred at the end of tres
tie, the last car of the train having
only passed across the bridge. Had the
accident occurred while the train was
crossing the trestle the loss of life
would undoubtedly have been very
great. The following are the dead:
Mrs. Mcintyre of Silverton, killed out
right; Fred Feyler of Cincinnati, died
OH the train going to Salida. A num-
Der of the more seriously injured were
taken to Salida, where they are being
cared for

POLICY WAS TOO RIGOROUS.
Queen Has Long Disapproved of the Con-

Queen Has Long Disapproved of the Con-
ser, ative Administration.
LONDON, Oct. 4.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Standard says: The
queen regent took strong initiative
during the crisis and profoundly sur.
prised General Azcarraga by leaving
him no alternative but resignation.
She frankly expressed her disapproval
Of the Conservative administration, es.
pecially in its treatment of the anarch-
list prisoners at Fortress Montjuio.
She said she had allowed Senior Cano.
vas to remain in Office in the hope that
he would modify the rigor of his re-
pressive policy in Cuba and that she
had repeatedly called the attention of
ministers to administrative scandals
and abuses. More over, her majesty
said she
Waited Patiently for Two Months
after the death of Senior Canovas in the
hope that the new government would
correct these evils. On its failure to do
so she took it upon herself to consult
General Campos, Senior Sjlvela and
others as to the best means of pacifying
Cuba by an endeavor to satisfy the au.
Economists and thus virtually to steal a
march on American diplomacy.
All the statesmen whom she con.
suited appear to have advised Liberal
cabinet as the best means of attaining
the queens wishes. Thereupon her
majesty thanked General Azcarraga for
his splendid services as minister of war
and intimated her intention to appoint
Senor Sagasta as pr, sident OF the
council,
