Edmonton Relief Expedition.

Seattle, Sept. 25.-Moved at last by
the appeals of the relatives and friends
OF the misguided men, so many OF
whom met death or encountered hard
ships and sufferings almost beyond hui
man endurance, Canadian officials have
dispatched a relief expedition over the
Edmonton trail route. The rescuers
left Dawson early in September. 1t is
splendidly equipped body, led by
Corporal Kerving and Constable Boke.
The voyage will probably require seven
months. The expedition left Dawson,
going down the Yukon to the mouth of
Porcupine river. Thence the voyagers
90 up the Porcupine to the portage OF
Bell and West Rat rivers, where they
cross the mountains to the Pelly river,
thence portage to the Mackenzie and
down that stream to Fort Mcpherson.

COLLISION ON A BRIDGE,
Freight Trains Crash Together with
Terrible Results

st. Paul, Sept. ga serious ACCT
dent occurred on the Omaha railroad
early today near Window, Mimi, four
men being killed and three seriously
injured, in Il rear-enl collision o!
freight trains on bridge.
The dead are Engineer Rasmussen,
Fireman Roberts, who died at 6 a. m
Fireman Stratton and John Roberts,
a travelling man from St James, Mimi.
The injured, none fatally, are: George
Tew, engineer; John Yeomans, engi.
neer, and Thomas Merrill, fireman.
The Omaha special freight train,
standing on the bridge over the Des
Moines river, near Window, at about
ll:30 last night, under what is sup.
posed was misrepresentation of orders,
was crashed into by another freight
train drawn by two engines and com.
posed of % heavily loaded cars. The
bridge went down, carrying the en-.
gines and part of both trains, and as
the water in the river was but four feet
deep, the debris caught fire, and heavy
damage resulted, while four men met
death in an awful form. Conductor
Williams, of the train which was
struck, fed after the accident, after
telling conflicting stories as to Its

SALEM MILL BURNED,
Loss ON Buildings and Grain About
&l5O,OOO

Salem, Or, Sept. 25.-The mill and
elevator warehouse OF the Salem Flour
ing Mills Company, located at the
corner OF Commercial and Trade streets,
We're destroyed by ire at 4 O'Clock this
morning. The total loss is about
100000, large part OF which will
fall on farmers who had grain stored
at the mills. There was over 1875, 600
bushels OF wheat stored in the build
lngs, only about $4,000 bushels of
which belonged TO the mill company.
The fire was caused by dust explo.
sion near the cleaners on the third floor
of the mill, and it spread rapidly.
The insurance on the mill company's
buildings and machinery, which are
almost total loss, is about $50, 900,
while their value is placed at about
$4,000. Only about 10000 bushels
ot the stored grain was insured, so the
loss TO the owners is great. Consider
able of the grain not damaged by water,
1t Is thought, can be cleaned and sold
Tor about half price, and the mill COM
pany will take immediate steps to save
all that possibly can be saved.
The mill, which was run as an in
dependent concern by men interested
III the Portland Touring mills, may
never be rebuilt, as the Portland Flour
ing Mills Company owns another mill
in Salem. The fire was one of the
largest ever seen in Salem.

Der 10, and, as already cabled, pro-

Owing to the bad weather, the opera.

ing Immediately. At 1870 the insur-
gent cannon answered the first shot
passing close to the Nlonterey's smoke
stack. The gun was fired twice only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $3.50 the Monterey
advanced to a range of 600 yards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 800 yards
east of the cannon at l. o'clock, under
severe Nlauser fire.
The men from the Charleston were
the first to reach the beach, but the
Concord's men were the first at the
gun, which they reached at ll:10.
The cannon was found to be 16-cen-
timeter krupp gun, presumably OBJ
tanned from the Spaniards. Meanwhile
the warships continued to she'll the
shelving beach on the east and west
side to silence the insurgent fire upon
the sailors from the trenches skirting
the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded so pounds of
guncotton in three discharges in the
cannon, which had suffered from the
fire of the w,rshlps.
The Americans then gsturned to the
boats, the firing inland being kept up
to protect the embarkation. The Con-
cords men were the last to leave the
shore and the warships were reached
at 1850.
Cadet Brinzer, with the Concord's
launch, armed with gatling, did ex'
cellent work on the left of the landing
party. Captain Meyers, OF the ma.
rines. captured muzzle- loading field
piece Lieutenant Mcdonald was in
command OF the landing party, and the
movement was splendidly executed and
controlled.
The numbers OF the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained, and no dead
were seen.
The Monterey fired for four hours
p shots from her l0-inch guns, and II
from her l2-inch guns. The town,
which was riddled with shells, took ire
at several points.
