Army of Forty Thousand.

Washington, July l6.-Plans are under
consideration by the seeret,ry of war which
contemplate keeping a military force of
10000 soldiers in the Philippines for some
time after the withdrawal of the volun-
teer troops that will have to be mustered
out of the service by the first of July, 1901.
1t is estimated that it will require this
number of men to properly police the
Philippines, as there is no intention of re-
linguishing control in any part of the
islands. General Macarthur has fire.
quently recommended holding all the
island garrisons and persistent policing of
the territory occupied. General MacAr-
thur has asked for more cavalry, but this
the war department is unable to give him,
and arrangements have been made to pro-
vide him with sufficient horses to mount
at least two infantry regiments. Orders
have already been issued for the shipment
of $500 cavalry horses to Manila, to be
distributed to cavalry regiments and to
be used in mounting infantry.

OREGON.

Good reports come from Milton re
garding the fruit crops. One half the
Walla Walla river valley is within
Umatilla county, and is one solid fruit
belt. Throughout this entire region
the fruit of all varie les is first-class in
quality and the yield is unusually large
L. f. Leavens caught huge sturgeon
Wheat is coming to some warehouses
notably in the east end, near and at
Milton, where threshing has been in
progress for the past few weeks. AL
though no figures are given indicating
what the yield per acre is to be this
fall, the quality in every instance is
said to be straight No. 1. All the sam
pies brought to Pendleton from the
threshers are of No. 1 grain. One
field of barley has been all threshed
and the yield was 80 bushels to the
acre, the quality being No. 1.
In the territory to the northwest of
Pendleton, where in ordinary years the
wheat and barley crops are not depen-
ded on to turn out very large, this sea-
son the yield runs from 20 to 80 BUSH
els to the acre. Elsewhere in the
county the yield is expected to be not
so large as in some former years, but
will be good, however, and the quality
excellent. Every farmer in Umatilla
county will be at harvest by next Mon
day and most of them have already cut
some grain.
The explosion of boiler at the De
Force Oil Works recently, resulted in

injury of Engineer James Moore.
Chris. R. Rentz, another employee who
was in a boat moored to the factory
dock, is missing, and is believed to
have been blown from his boat by the
conclusion and drowned. The acct
dent is said to have been due to a de-
fective boiler. The factory was to-
tally destroyed Moore came here
from San Francisco and was formerly
a locomotive engineer. Almost at the
same time as the explosion Mr.. De
Forces handsome residence, over three
miles distant on the shore, caught fire

that John p. Reese, the Iowa miners union
official, who was sentenced to imprison-

Later.

Prescott, Ariz., July l6.-A scene of
the greatest desolation and a feeling of
deepest gloom pervade the town. All
that remains of the principal business
portion of the town is tottering walls
and piles of charred and burning debris.
The fire which started at l0:45 o'clock
Saturday night was not under control I'M
til 3 o'clock Sunday morning, when the
fire fighters went considerable distance
in advance of the flames and blew up the
buildings on the south side of Goodwin
street, preventing fire from crossing that
street The most conservative estimates of
the total losses are from 81 100000 to 81 )
100000. The burned district embraces
five blocks, in which were located the prin-
cipal mercantile houses, both telegraph
otnces, four hotels and every saloon and
every restaurant except one in the town,
besides scores of private residences.
To add to the prevailing gloom high
wind has prevailed all day, sending
smoke, dust and burning embers in every
direction, requiring the greatest vigilance
to prevent another outbreak of the
flames Owing to the chaotic condition
existing today it is impossible to obtain
an accurate account of the losses or in
dividual insurance. From interviews with
insurance agents, the total insurance
does not exceed $250,000.

Old timers who have good memories
say this year is a counterpart of thai
of 1876. In that year there was an ex
tremely dry summer, the ranges burning
up. In the fall there were heavy rains
the winter was mild and the cattle in
the spring were rolling fat.
The secretary of the interior has
appointed ]. B. McIntire, of Kalispel
Montana; Jas. H. McNeeley, of Evans
vile, Ind, and J. H. Hoyt, of Beatrice
Nebraska, commissioners to deal with
the Grow, Flathead and other Indians
under the act of June 6, 1900.
The jury at Butte in the case of Ed.
gar Marshall, charged with the murder
of Mrs. Georgia Creech, brought in a
verdict of acquittal. The verdict has
aroused general indignation, for the
killing was the result of trying to kill
the husband of the dead woman.
Superintendent j. B. Collins, of the for
est reserves, has received authority from
the secretary of the interior to receive
applications for permits to Craze sheep

sheep and no permits will be issued on
any reserve except the one mentioned.
Frank Bateman, an old resident of
Butte and baliff of the United States
Court, was accidently killed last week
while driving ON Montana street. A
runaway team collided with the team
he was driving and knocked him out
on the ground. He sustained a frac-
ture of the skull and died within three
hours.
Apparently there is no excuse for any
man to remain idle who is willing to
work. Laborers are in great demand, and
there is an especial scarcity of ranch
hands to handle the hay crop The haying
season in the zig Hole basin is now IN
progress, and unless, more men are secured
the ranch owners will not be able to han
die all of this years crop.
Some days ago the Anaconda Com
pany, through it's local representative
Mr.. Dudley, gave it's answer to the COM
mittee of the Miners union to the ap-
plication for the adoption of eight hour
shifts for underground men. The ans
wer stated that the company regretted
that it could not grant the request, and
it declined to accede thereto. That
insistence on a demand for the propos-
ed change would compel the company
to close the mines and smelters.

Suicide of a Boise Man.

Prescott, Arizona, burned.

Prescott, Arizona, July I6.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of the town
started in row of buildings known as
the Scopel block on Montezuma street.
Every building on the west side of the
plaza as far north as Gurley street, in
Guiding the Burke hotel, is destroyed. The
fire is spreading, and there is no telling
where it will stop. The principal bust
ness houses so far destroyed are those OF
Sam d. Hill, d. Levy and the Ed block.
The Courier office is destroyed and the
Jouln i Miner office is in danger. Fremen
are powerless, as there is no water Over
a dozen stores were blown up, without
effect. 1t now looks as if the entire north
end of town would go. The loss at pres
ent is not less than 100000 to 100000.

TRIED TO TAKE CHINESE GUNS
THE ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL.
British and Americans Together
Japs Helped-Several Killed and
Wounded-American Are Anxious
to Enlist for Chinese War.

Tientsin, Julyo.6, via Shanghai, July
l6.-At noon today the British and Ameri-
can allies tried, unsuecessfully, to cap
ture Chinese l5-pounder, mounted last
night, which was enfilading the advanced
position of the allies. From to O'Clock
in the morning an artillery duel of III
guns took place, the Chinese shelling the
settlements from the native city. The
British and japanese guns shelled the
forts from the viceroy's and yamen's city
gates. The practice was good, the British
silencing two of the guns of the Chinese.
The fire of the enemy burned one of
Mackenzie's wool warehouses. The loss
was over 100000 taels. 1t is estimated
that over 500 shells fell in the settlement,
wrecking practically all the buildings.
Undoubtedly spies are informing the enc
my of the condition of the troops and of
the situation in the quarters of the al
lies, especially after a bombardment has
taken place. The Chinese trained one
naval gun on the allies. Efforts were
made to capture a silenced gun and
tremendous fire was encountered. To-
days casualties were as follows:
Killed-Two blue jackets and two men,
bers of one of the Chinese regiments.
Wounded-Thlee officers, two blue jack
cts, two marines and five members Of one
of the Chinese regiments.
Relief Close at Hand.
