INCENDIARY'S WORK
 DOCK DESTRUCTION
Portland the Scene of a Fiery Disturb
 ance All Day

Portland. Orc, March 10.-The Vic toria deck, situated on the east bank oi the Willamette river, was entirely de- stroyed by fire about noon today, to- Gether with fOOG0 tons of wheat and 2.o00 tons Of salt stored on the dock.
 The total loss is estimated at S4OO,0OO The insurance is about $3i0,000.
 It is certain that the fire was started by an inccndiary. as man was seen leaving the dock after the fire had gained some headway. Three times during the past fortnight fires have been started on the docks of this city, and it is supposed the same man is re- spcnsible for all of them. Several small houses near the dock were destroyed, the loss aggregating s6,OO0.
 Earlier in the day half 9 block of frame buildings not far from the Vic toria, dock was destroyed. Eighteer families who lived in the block were rendered homeless. The total less was about $25.O0C.
 Canning, Wallace & Co. and zan Brothers wholesale houses, and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation com pany's Forrth-street dock are on fire. The loss will probably be heavy.

 SAVED THE DAY
Without Him Democratic Conven- tion Would Have Been Colorless.

Detroit, Mich, March 10-Without the presence of William J. Bryan, who made an address at the morning ses- sion. todays democratic state judicial convention ct the light guards armary. in this city, would have becn feature less. Judge George l.. Yaple is th= nominee for supreme judge for the term of ten years to succeed Judge Frank A. H0ckcr. He was i,ominated without any other name being presented.
 The resolution adopted merely be- speak the support Of thoughtful citi- zens. for those principles of govern mcnt which find expression through the national platform 0. the party
 This was the only reference made to national affairs. The initiative and referendum is demanded, and the re- cent coal strike is taken as an indica- ticn Of the necessity for the ,munici- pal ownership of public utilities.
 The resolutions deprecate judicial participation in the manipulation of conventions and activities in ante-cor- Vcntion policies. Pride is expressed in the state university and the democratic party is pledged to continue it's eff ciency by every means in it's power consistent with economy. NJ mention was made in the convention of the democratic presidential possibilities.

HAS A LIMIT But the Power oi Pure Food Is Seldom Exhausted.

There is of course 9. limit to the cura tive abilities even of pure food but it is q fact that is seldom reached. There are cases of disease so deep root ed that they will never be cured.
 IL is nevertheless a profound fact that the pure food Grape Nuts. the most scientific food in the world. has Effected marvellous results in cases where medical science has given up the sufferer and it seemed there was no hope. Veterans cf the Civil War are Tot youngsters any more Git is near ly 70 years since AppamatoO and when the i'll health cCmes tc one of the old soldiers he has not the assistance of youth to help him pull through. But ccieu tific feeding can actually rebuild old bodies and generally build them well. An old soldier who now lives at Boise. idahoi says:
 "I am an old soldier. l have suffered greatly from heart trouble. hypertro- phy and aneurism. In addition to this had terrible indigestion which caus cd 'smothering and choking spells and I have also been partially paralyzed in the left shoulder and right side.

THE DEATK=SHIP 0F
 THE ANCHOR LINE
The Karmania Arrives From
 Mediterranean Ports
Six of Her Crew Died Strangely With Symptoms Suggestive of Cholera The Vessel, Passengers ahd Crew in Quarantine at New York,

New York, March 10-Six strange deaths at sea aboard the Anchor line steamer Karmania, from Marseilles, Palermo and Naples, cause that vessel to be detained at quarantine today, and Health Officer Doty after examination, s2id symptoms were so similar to those Of cholera that the ship should be thoroughly disirfected and the 133 pas scrgers and crew were sent to i4off- mans island to remain there until the health officer positively knows that they are free from infection. The bodies were buried at sea and the meagre report O; the ships doctor in- creased Dr. Doty's suspicion. Each of the victims died in convulsions attend inS attacks of nausea and cr4mDs.
 Dr. Doty after securing records of all the deaths aboard gave out the follow ing statement: From the meagre re- ports of the ships doctor I regard these eases: as very suspicious. We have no cases to examine and as the bodies were buried at sea, the only advice ob- tainable was the doctors notes and statements giving a history of the cases. All the symptoms-nausea cramps and sudden collapse and death are so similar to those of cholera that | purpose to treat the vessel and pas scngers as if it were certain. The yes sel will be thoroughly disinfccted, tho passengers, 133 in number, transferred to Hoffmans island, and the crew. af- ter the vessel shall be dockad, shall also be taken to Hofmans island. These people will be detained there an til l am positive that they are free from infection. This course is pursued because of the suspicious character of the deaths and the absence of evidence of the cause. No person or beard the karmania appears to be able to ac- count for the outbreak
 This is the Ksrmania's second ex- perience of the kind. On August 9. 1893, she arrived off quarantine from Naples and reported three deaths dur ing the trip. Dr. Jenkins, then health officer. reported that the deaths had been due to cholera

There was more of d swirl in the 1egis- lature yesterday than there had been on any other day of the session. Not great deal was accomplished, however. The eight-hour bill concerning which some apprehension had begun to be felt be- came law. Yesterday was the last day on which the governor could sign it. If he should fail to do so it was plain that the council could not raise the necessary two- thirds vote to pass it over his head. When the house as- sembled in the afternoon a message was received from the executive chambers announcing the signing of the bill. There was a cheer of relief.
 The Cowan bill was pocketed for q time. Its friends say they are sure of getting it out in time to pass it, but they are uncertain whether that event will take place today or tomorrow. In the skirmishing yesterday morning it became evident that the bill had lost strength, and on what were con- strued to be test votes it seemed doubtful if even majority could be mustered in it's behalf. Later in the day, however, in a vote on the Rowe bill designed to supplanl the Cowan bin and which was defeated on a tie vote, it appeared that the strength of the Cowan measure might be safely put at fourteen votes.
 An effort was made to take the wo- man suffrage bill out of the council committee on territorial affairs, but it failed by two votes. The frieads cf- the bill have been claiming majority
  pass it once it is before the council, but on the other hand the opponents of the bill say they do not see how any greater strength can be developed than was shown yesterday. It is also announced by the enemies of the bill that it will be reported. Late in the day Dr. White side introduced bill similar to the one which is being held up.

THE MISSISSIPPI
 RUNNING HIGHER
A Grave State of Affairs Exists on the
 Lower River.

Memphis. Tenn, March 1O.-The river tonight is above thirty-five on the gauge and rising. The current is swift CT and more driftwood is running thal at any previous time during the present rise. This is taken to indicate that there will be rapid rise tonight and tomorrow.
 All of these conditions tend to give the most gloomy view of the flood situ- ation and uneasiness is increasing on every hand. Officials of levee boards and United States engineers continue to say that there is no immediate cause for anxiety. but further than this they give no encouragement and they say grave state of affairs seems in- evitable.
 The government steamer Atlee left tonight for White river with a cargo of material and a large body of patrols. All the patrols are under arms.

THE HOUSE,

Proceedings in the house were begun on the Cowan bill early in the morning. It came in with a lot of others from grossed bills, and at the same time the judiciary committee, of which MT. Rowe one of the most active opponents Of the Cowan measure, unloaded a lot of bills in advance, so that the Cowan bill was given a place far down on the list of immediate business. An effort was made to take it up, but failed on a point of order that the bill was not on the calendar. There was a good deal of preliminary sl1irmishing, after which the friends of the bill permitted things to take their course for the day at least.
 They succeeded, however, in intro- ducing the report of the special com mittee appointed to investigate the af- fairs of the office of the territorial sec retary with the object of determining the amount of the receipts of the office. The report was not read, but put on the clerks desk to be considered with the bill. The report is a typewriter document of thirty-seven pages and contains the conclusions of the commit tee based upon an examination of the secretary, his assistant and employees of the office. MT. St. Charles, one of the members of the special committee, refused to sign the report. The report charges that the report made to the governor regarding the amount of the business of the office

 The empires demands were ever in creasing and the proposed estimate would not be found excessive for the colonies. frontiers and for the home defense in the event Of the country being called upon to defend frontiers, which is always liable to occur.

was inconsistent and that it fur nished only about one-half of the actual receipts from the business of incorpora- tions alone. The receipts are fixed by the committee at s2S,194 for last year. 1naccuracy is also charged in the mat ter of the report regarding the ex- pcnSeS of the office, which the commit tee concludes was for the year $2, 932- -5e- The committee was unable to find any fee book. The secretary in his examin- ation said he had never kept any and that none of his predecessors had kept any. He believed that he was not re- Quired to keep such a book; he had an account book containing a record of the business of his office, but that was only for his owns convenience and for the convenience of those who were doing business with the office That record had been destroyed sometime in Janu- ary.
 This business having been temporar- fly disposed of the regular order was taken up and the following new bills were introduced: By MT. Ingalls,, for the restriction of granting franchises for public utilities: by MT. Barrow, to regulate public printing in counties Of tiC lOOi LII anu HUI NleiSoCo, Oy -AA- Cowan, amending the statutes in rela- tion to corporations keeping offices out side the territory; by MT. Rowe. to pro- vide for the distribution of taxes made payable by the United States laws. The bill providing that all section lines on public lands shall be declared public reads was passed.
 Early in the afternoon a message was received from the council announcing the fate in that house of a lot of house bills. Most of them of an uninlportant character were passed. The followin., bills were passed by the house: To fix a legal standard of weights and meas ures; authorizing the governor to direct the issuance of a parole to convicts except life convicts who have served one year in the territorial prison. This differs from the present law only In that it makes convicts who have pre- viously served eligible to parole. An effort was made to amend MT. Gonzales bill abolishing the local option law in a most radical manner. The amend ment provides that a local option dis trict may be established by a simple majority vote. MT. Gonzales declined to accept the amendment and the bill was returned to the committee. Sev- eral bills were indefinitely postponed.

GROWS WORSE AND WORSE

Lincoln, Neb., March 10.-The flood situation in Nebraska tonight is even worse than twenty four hours ago. The wrecking by an ice gorge of the main line bridge of the Rock Island across the Platte river at South Bend and the bridge of the Missouri Pacific near Louisville has still further de- moralized railroad traffic. The Rock Island is still running trains between here and Omaha over the Burlington tracks and the Union Pacific utilizes the same line for an outlet from Omaha westward.
 The center of the flood along the Platte, which last night was at Co., umbus. has moved eastward and today reached Fremont, the bottom lands for miles cast. and west of that town be- ing under water. The point of great est danger now is at Plattsmouth, where the Platte empties into the Mis- souri, which stream already high, will be given an increased and dangerous volume as the mass of ice and water flows into it.
