FATAL HOTEL FIRE.
Guests of q Missouri Hostelry Burned
to Death.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Nov. IA
Hemmed in by flames in the upper
stories of the Clifford House, an old
frame structure that burned like tin
der, mum ber of persons were burned or
suffocated to death; others leaped from
windows and suffered the loss of limbs
and other injuries from which some
died. Only one or two of the 45 sleep
ing guests got out without injury and
none saved anything but the night
clothes that were worn at 1890, when
the alarm was given. Four are known
to be dead, one is missing, three are
fatally injuered, and more than 20 are
burned or 9th erwise hurt.
In the halls of the hotel a dozen or
more persons were overcome by heat
and smoke and this leads to the belief
that the loss of life will be much great
er than is now known. There were a
number of unregistered guests at the
place.
Only one person, the watchman, was
awake when the fire started and he was
flames had spread SO rapidly that he
was driven from the building. Escape
for everyone on the second and third
stories was cut off and the fire depart
ment was unable to give them any as
sistance. Here the deaths occurred
and in jumping from the windows the
others were hurt. There were many
acts of heroism in the rescue of women
and number of guests had very narrow
escapes, several having their hail
singed. 1t will be several days before
the number of dead is known.
One man asserts that he saw 10 OF
1 5 persons in the hallway overcome by
smoke. If this is the case, a dozen ol
more bodies may be found in the ruins
The Clifford House was one of the
Oldest in Southeast Missouri, and ii
has been considered death trap ior g
number of years. W. P. Norris was
the proprietor. He and his wife es'
capped, but lost everything.

Fire I'm a Reddine Mine.

Redding, CAL, Nov. IA fire, the
origin of which is attributed to chemi-
cal action. is burning in the Peck tun.
mel of the great iron mine. The DRIFT
has been closed and the 100 men en-
ployed there have been laid off. 1t is
thought the fire can be confined to the
place where it started. The ore is be-
lieved to be on fire, but an explosion is
not anticipated. The demand of the
men in this tunnel for an eight-hour
shift recently precipitated strike,
which was ended by the miners ao-
knowledging their defeat.

Portland, Or, Nov. 10.-McKinley's q
purality in Oregon is still piling up.
Owing to an error in a former footing,
his lead this morning is made to ap-
pear 500 less than yesterday. whereas
it should be about 100 more. Reports
continue to pour IN that former Bryan
strongholds have either gone for Nc
Kinley or greatly decreased the Nebras-
kan's majority in 1896. For example,
five precincts in Malheur county that
gave Bryan a plurality of 1876 in 1896,
this year gave him but A. Malheur
county, which has all along been con-
ceded to the Democrats, is now
thought to have gone Republican by a
majority of 80 to 100. This leaves but
three counties in the state which have
given pluralities for Bryan and thel1
com binei vote is only 265.
Fifty-six precincts reported yester.
day. making total of 500 out of 769.
McKinley's vote to date is AZ, 1876;

In Was hin gton.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 10.-The
majority for President Mckinley in the
state of Washington will be between
1000 and $4,000, and John R. Rog-
ers, Democrat, for governor, will have
something like 1900 over Frink, his
Republican opponent. The average
majority of the two republican candi-
dates for congress, Jones and Cushman,
will be 5000 OF more. and the legisla-
ture will be heavily Republican. All
the state Republican ticket, except
Frink, is elected by large pluralities.
All these things were made clear by
yesterdays returns. Every county in
Western Washington has been heard
from and the only two counties in East
ern Washington about which there is
any uncertainty are Chelan and Oka-
hogan. With these, scattering returns
show that the only question is to the
size of the Democratic pluralities.
Later returns are more likely to in
crease than decrease Rogers plurality.
Mckinley has carried 26 counties
and Bryan 10; Frink l8 counties and
Rogers II. with one (Mason) tie.

Effect of Honolulu News.

Maui people were extremely shocked
at the news of Mrs. Geo. Boardman's
death by plague, the announcement of
which was made by the purser of the
steamer Lehua from Kihei on the 18th.
Mrs. BOardman was a well-known resi-
dent of Kahului some fifteen years
ago.
Having full confidence in the national
Board Of Health, nothing like a panic
has taken place as yet among Maui
people. Still, from time to time faces
have grown seriouo and people are
anxious with thoughts of what might
happen If the infectious disease should
ever enter the island by the way of
the ports of Kahului Kihei OF Maalaea.
It would probably mean the destruction
by fire of every plantation village on
middle Maui from the slopes of the
West Maui mountains to those of Hale
akala. The Asiatic population so large
~ outnumbers the whites and intelli-
gent natives that no local quarantine
control or restrictions could be success
fully enforced; and the orientals could
wander from one settlement to another
almost at will, thus spreading con-
| tagion.
In such dire circumstances Lahaina
could easily guard it's two mountain
/ rOads, and Hama. the narrow pathways
. at Keanae and KaupO, and remain safe
from Infection. However. no such
calamity IS anticipated, for every
/ reasonable means has been taken and
7 is being taken to prevent this both
by local committees and the Honolulu
Board of Health.
/ No meeting OF the Maui health com
I mittee has been called since that Of the
5th instant at Kahului. Maui people
generally indOrse the destruction oil
