SALEM MILL BURNED.
Loss ON Buildings and Grain About
91BO,0OO.

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,
were destroyed by fire at O'Clock this
morning. The total loss is about
$3.50, 900, large part Of which will
fall on farmers who had grain stored
at the mills. There was over l25, 900
bushels OF wheat stored in the build
ings, 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 500, 900,
while their value is placed at about
$7b, 900. Only about 10000 bushels
OF the stored grain was insured, 90 the
loss to the owners is great. Consider
able of the grain not damaged by water,
it is thought, can be cleaned and sold
for 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
in 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.

STRUCK A REEF.
Transport Leelenaw Kept Afoat by
working Her Pumps Steadily.


Transport Leelenaw Kept AfiOat by
Working Her Pumps Steadily.
San Francisco, Sept. 26.-The United
States transport Leelenaw came into
port today with the pumps steadily at
work to overcome the effect of hole
in the ships bottom. The Leelenaw
sailed for Manila September 2, with
q cargo of commissary stores and 200
horses for army use. After leaving this
port distemper was developed among
the horses, and so many of the animals
died that the Leelenaw put into Homo
lulu and landed there the commissary
storse and the surviving horses. The
transport then started on. the return
trip to this city.
During the three days prior to reach
ing this port, SO thick and constant was
the fog that no observations could be
taken, and, having lost her bearings,
the Leelenaw struck reef near Mon
tara, 90 miles south of this port, last
evening. She was for five hours stuck
fast on the rocks, and when she finally
fioated off at high tide it was found that
the Jagged rock had torn hole in her
bottom.
It will be necessary for the Leelenaw
to 90 in drydock for a considerable
overhauling. In addition to the leak,
the vessel was badly strained by her
experience on the reef.

Relief Expedition.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 27.-News
reached here by the Cottage City that
a relief expedition has been sent by the
mounted police to the Mackenzie trail
where great suffering is said to prevail.
The last arrival from the Mackenzie
was an Australian named Edwardson,
who, after losing his supplies, was
week without food. A prospecting ex-
pedition which returned to Dawson
after 10 weeks on the upper Klondike,
Porcupine and Stewart rivers, reports
that although colors are found there is
no gold ON any of the creeks of these
departments.

OUR HEAD is TURNED.
So Says Goldwin Smith, who Thinks
Dewey Is Overestimated.

So Says Goldwin Smith, who Thinks
Dewey Is OverestimRted.
Toronto, Ont, Sept. 25.-Goldwin
Smith, writing in a local paper, says;
Nothing could show the extent to
which the head OF Columbia has been
turned by the war more than her ador-
alton of the hero Dewey. What did
the hero Dewey and his comrades do?
They sat in almost perfect safety and
destroyed at long range a line of help
less tubs, with some hundreds of the
poor Spaniards who manned them,
and who alone had any opportunity of
showing heroism on the occasion. So
perfectly secure did the Americans feel
that they adjourned to breakfast in the
middle OF their sport. There was
among them single casualty, and had
they all gone tiger hunting one casual
ty at least probably would have oc-
CURED.
For this, however, Dewey, is de-
clared to be the equal Of the great sea-
men who conquered in the terrible days
of Aboukir, Copenhagen, Trafalgar. II
he were SO inclined he might probably
be elected president Of the United
States.
Canada cannot possibly take part
in the celebration Of Dewey's triumphs
without evidence of discourtesy toward
Spain, a friendly nation, which has
done Canada no wrong. Spain, let it
be remembered, though deprived of her
possessions in this hemisphere, is still
Mediterranean power, decayed at
present, but capable of restoration.
The British government will hardly
thank the Canadian government for
making her an implacable enemy"

END DRAWING NEAR
England Serves Notice of an
Ultimatum.
FORMER NEGOTIATIONS ARE OFF
Proposals for . Final Settlement of the
Issues VIII BE Communicated
In 9 Later Dispatch.

London, Sept. 27.-The officials OF
the foreign Office this evening gave out
the text OF the letter Of the secretary of
state for the colonies, Joseph Chamber
lain, to the British high commissioner
in South Africa, Sir Alfred Miner,
dated September "a. The British re-
ply expresses regret that her majesty's
offer No. B, OF September 8, has been
refused, and says:
"The object her majesty's govern
ment had in view in the recent nego-
tiations has been stated in a manner
which cannot admit of misapprehen-
sion, viz: To obtain such immediate
representation for Uitlanders as will
enable them to secure for themselves
that fair and just treatment which was
formally promised them in 1881, and
which her majesty intended to secure
for them when she granted privileges
oiAself-government to the Transvaal.
No conditions less comprehensive than
those contained in the telegram of
September 8, can be relied on to effect
that object.
1.-THE refusal of the South African
government to entertain the offer thus
made, coming, as it does, after four
months of protracted negotiations,
closes five years of extended agitation,
and makes it useless further to pursue
discussion on the lines hitherto fol-
lowed, and the imperial government is
now compelled to consider the situa-
ton afresh and to formulate its own
proposals for final settlement of the
issues which have been created in
South Africa by the policy constantly
followed for many years by the govern
ment of the republic of South Africa.
1t will communicate the result of its
deliberations in later dispatch. F"
A telegram received from Calcutta
announces the departure of the trans
port Chidhana for South Africa, and
the last transport for the Cape will
leave India tomorrow.
A special dispatch from Pretoria says
that the members of the volksraad, be-
lieving that the British notes are in
tended to gain time for the concentra-
tion of troops, urge the government to
adjourn the raad Immediately and to
send Great Britain a note declaring
that further mobilization will be re-
garded as an unfriendly act. Trenches,
earthworks and sandbag defenses are
being erected in all the available ap-
proaches to the capital.

BOMDARD THE REBELS.
Navy Destroys Works on the
Bay Of Subig.
TOWN or oLAyGAPO RIDDLED
Krnpp Cannon Which the Insurgents
Were working Was Blown Up
by Landing Party.

Manila, Sept. 80. The cruiser
Charleston, the monitor Monterey and
the gunboats Concord and Zafro. with
the marines and bluejackets from the
cruiser Baltimore, left Cavite Septem-
ber 10, and, as alrGdy cabled, pro-
ceeded to subig'bay to destroy an in
surgent cannon there
Owing to the bad weather, the opera
tion was postponed until yesterday,
when the warships for three hours bonn
barded the town OF Olangapo and the
entrenchments where the gun was situ-
ated. Men from the Charleston, Con-
cord and Zafro were then landed un
der heavy insurgent fire, proceeding
to the cannon, which was utterly de-
stroyed by guncotton, and then re-
turned to the warships. The Amcri-
cans had one man wounded during the
engagement.
While waiting in Subig bay for bet
ter weather, the Americans deserted
Filipino reinforcements moving toward
Olangapo. At 6:40 A. M. yesterday
the Monterey began to advance upon
the town, which was about three miles
east of the monitors anchorage. The
Charleston, Concord and Zatiro fol-
lowed. At 1920 the Monterey opened
fire with her secondary and main bat
teries; the Charleston and Concord join
ing Immediately. At 1880 the insur-
gent cannon answered the first shot
passing close to the Monterey's smoke
stack. The gun was fired twice only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At 9:30 the Monterey
advanced to range of 600 yards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 800 yards
east of the cannon at IL o'clock, under
severe Mauser 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 1l:l0.
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 80 pounds of
guncotton in three discharges in the
cannon, which had suffered from the
fire of the warships.
The Americans then returned 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 1880.
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 a muzzle-loading fielc
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 fred for four hours
21 shots from her lO-inch guns, and II
from her 12-inch guns. The town,
which was riddled with shells, took fire
at several points.

New York, Sept 27.--James O'Con-
nell, president of the International
MAchinists, who had been a delegate to
the British trades congress meeting
held in Plymouth, England, spoke to
the Central Federated Union of his
experiences and observations at the
congress and among the working
classes in England. He did not have
high opinion of them. The condi-
tion of the English working men, wo-
men and children, he said, was deplor-
able. The difference of sex seemed to
be entirely lost sight of. He saw the
women going about in clogs, dressed in
mems clothes, in blacksmith and other
shops, welding the sledge hammers
with the men.

Jerry simpsons Praise OF AguinaldO
was Too Much for His Hearers.
Kansas City, Sept. 25.-A dispatch
to the Journal from Wichita, Kan,
says:
Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson was
hooted off the platform here this even
ing while addressing a local G. A. r.
reunion. Mr.. Simpson said:
II glory in the spunk of Aguinaldo's
men. They are simply fighting to re-
gain the land the Catholics took from
them. A local paper has asked: Who
is John Browns soul marching with
Otis or Aguinaldo?' I believe John
Browns soul is marching with Agui-
naldo."
Mr.. sipmson said in substance that
he would rather be with Aguinaldo
than with General Otis. An old SOL
dier in the audience rose and saidthat
the speech was drifting too much into
politics. This was applauded and
greeted with cries of "Throw him outl"
and "Kick Simpson off the platformW
Men and women arose and hissed, and
the men kept crying, "Put him outW
Simpson appealed to the crowd to sit
down. II am coming to my perora-
tion," he said, although he had been
speaking only 10 minutes. Cries came,
"Take your peroration to Aguinaldo. +"
Simpson attempted to go on, but no
one could hear him 10 feet away. The
band struck up 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" and Mr.. Simpson left the
platform. His retirement was greeted
with prolonged cheers.

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 hu-
man endurance, Canadian officials have
dispatched relief expedition over the
Edmonton trail route. The rescuers
left Dawson early in September. 1t is
a 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
go 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.
