SYSTEM IS ROTTEN
Rear Admiral Beresford Crit.
cizes Efficiency Of Worlds
Greatest Navy.

London, June 2l.-During the dis
cussion of the navy estimates in the.
house of commons, Rear Admiral Chas.
Beresford, Conservative, scathingly crit
icized the deficiencies of the navy. He
declared the whole admiralty rotten and
led to great extravaganza, and that
there was general want of efficiency
in the navy, on which depended the
success of the empire. This was the
Judgment of all the commissioners of
inquiry and had been proven fact.
Every increase in the number of
ships and every improvement in them
had been the result of outside agitation.
AS result of such agitation, the British
Mediterranean fleet was now fourth
stronger than year ago.
1t is remarkable, Lord Beresford add
ed, that both army and navy officers
were compelled to threaten to resign in
order to get things righted. Great
Britain had only 20, coo naval reserves
instead of the requisite 80, 900, and the
engine room departments were thou
sands of men short. As to armament,
both the United States and France pos
sessed superior guns.
Blunders would continue until sep
arate board was appointed at the admir-
alty and was made responsible for the
efficiency of the fleet. Treasury con-
troll was fatal to efficiency. AS an in
stance, the speaker pointed out the case
of Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who,
when chancellor of the exchequer, put
his pen through the ammunition sup
plies after the guns had been ordered.

Portland, Or, June ga disastrous

M 40 water front, caused damage esti-
mated at $500, 900.
The blaze started in Wolff & Zwick-
o-,s iron works at i p. M, when the
'iorm Of fire was turned in the flames
, already breaking through the
,.ome structure and great mass of
smoke was pouring skyward. Before
.ba fire department reached the scene
.ho conhagration had burst in every
direction and was sweeping through the
inasmmable material at a rapid rate.
Hooues sawmill, south of the iron
works. was next attacked, and the Mad
i.on street bridge caught. Within two
b,ocks 70 the fire are the oil tanks of
the Standard Oil Company, and to pre-
rent the spread of the flames to this
roint the fire department directed it's
Greatest efforts. The Office of the COM
panv was Quilted.
Leaping from warehouse to ware
bouse, and from sawmill to shipyard,
the fire kept spreading southwark. The
Phoenix Iron Works were wompletley
g1tted. The Johnston Shipyard, with
several new boats and recently COM
Melted lumber schooner, were completely
destroyed.
The ward of the East Side Lumber
Company, Hicks machine shops, the
Star Milling Company, the Portland
CITY 4 Oregon carsheds, a new hotel,
were wiped out by the course of the
flames. The Madison street bridge, in
spite of the efforts of the force to save
it, blazed away at the east side ap-
proach until two bents, weakened by
the flames, fell in.
The steamer Albany dashed up to the
blazing wharf near the bridge and
rescued the newly completed free swim
ming baths from destruction by towing
them away to the west side. The fire
lighted up the whole city by its glare
and thousands of citizens viewed the
flames from vantage points on the river.
The lumber yards, shipyards, wharfs
and mills, sent bursts of fire hundreds
of feet into the air, while dense col
umn of smoke assembled, making the
sight one of terror and grandeur.

FURNISHED ARMS.
Ex-COnvict Wanted For Assisting
Tracy and Merrill.

Portland, Or, June 2O.-Strong evil
dence has been obtained pointing to
Harry Wright, an ex-convict, as the
man who struggled into the penitent-
larry the guns with which Tracy and
Merrill killed three guards, wounded
convict Ingram and kept other guards
at bay while they effected their escape.
Wright was discharged from the peni-
tertiary May 20 last.
So thoroughly convinced are the Off
GERS that Wright was concerned in the
plot to liberate Tracy and Merrill that
a reward of $500 for his arrest has been
offered, and kilograms to hold anyone
answering Wright's description have
been sent to the police departments in
all the principal cities on the Pacific
coast
The police are also loking for Charles
Monte. another ex-convict who, they
say, was in Salem few days before the
break inquiring of one of the prison at
tendants if Tracy and Merrill were still
working in the foundry.

SOUTH AFRICA.
Probability of Another War There
Rather Remote.

Pretoria, June 23.-It is safe to say
that the eyes of the whole civilized
world are now fastened upon the newly
acquired provinces of King Edward in
South Africa.
By peculiarly happy and wise for
tuitousness the war has been brought to
a close in such a manner that peace
with honor was assured both of the gal
liant combatants. But what is to come
after the war?
One thing is certain, that notwith-
standing the disgruntlement of a certain
element at the Cape the rule of the
British will be upheld most vigorously,
and whatever civil liberty is acceded to
the Beers there will be no chance given
the malcontents to stir up to such a
pitch as to bring about another war.
The bodies of the Boer and Britisher
sleep side by side on the scorching veldt.
The returning Boer who seeks his farm
will find all the privileges he en-
Joyed before he left it, with some old
faces missing, while the enterprising
Uitlander, who has been waiting for the
opportunity afforded by new and
emancipated country, will be there
ready to enjoy the new and improved
conditions which will fall to the lot of
MS class. This place is already full OF
Beers, who are making it a general rem
devious before starting to reclaim their
homes on the veldt.
