Washington, Feb. 1.-THE news
from China grows more alarming
daily. The senators are giving it their
serious consideration. one senator
has declared:
'The Japanese are behind this The
Japanese are the most implacable
enemies of America in China. In the
struggle for commercial supremacy
they are pitting stealth and unscrupu-
lousness against the United States.
Taft and Root must have money TO
prepare for a campaign, and must
expect to protect by force the Ameri-
cans in China. They must have money
to put the machinery i'm motion. They
must have troops ready for we may
need them at any time" The sena-
tor is using this argument to urge
his colleagues to action.

Possibly Twenty Perishcd.

Twenty persons are believed TO
have perished and 10 were injured by
the fire, which swept the district of
frame buildings between Morrison and
Alder, east of Water street and the
river this morning. The district in
cluded several lodging houses.
OF the five dead recovered, two are
identified as the children of l.. Daily.
who died from burns after reaching
a hospital, and Nate Young, a stable
man for the East Side Transfer Co..
and \. b. Saunders.
The fire broke out at 3:45 in the
Mount Hood saloon, and burned with
great rapidity. The buildings were
built on pilings and draft carried the
flames under the roadway of the Nor
proach to the bridge. Frame struc-
lures on both sides of the roadway
were soon ablaze.
Boats on the water front quickly
moved out into the river. The wind
was from the northeast, and sparks
were carried over the west side of the
river.
The fire boat and engines were
quickly on the scene, but the fire at
tanned such headway it could not be
stayed.
Tenants Left to Their Fate.
The second story of the building in
which the fire started was occupied
as a tenement house and some of its
occupants were left to their fate and
were overcome. Other dodgers escaped
in their nightclothes.
L. Daily, aged so, had his hair and
whiskers singed off and head and his
body were blistered. Before expiring
at the hospital Daily stated that his
wife and two children perished in the
flames. He was awakened by the
flames licking at his face. The Davis
wood yard buildings were badly dam
aged. and there is a great hole in the
Morrison street bridge. All the build
ings on the west side of Water street

Portland, Feb. 12.-(Special.) y
Eight persons were burned to death
and 16 injured, some of them it is
thought fatally, in a fire which de-
stroycd six frame buildings in the vi
cinfty of the approach to the east end
of Morrison street bridge, between 8
and o'clock this morning.
The east approach of the bridge was
badly damaged and barn belonging
to the East Side Transfer company,
together with 25 work horses, was
burned.
The buildings included two saloons
and a lodging house in which several
persons were sleeping. Most of them
escaped narrowly, but it is thought
that more than the eight Identified
persons were burned in the rooms
above the saloons.
Owing to the fact that the buildings
were ali frame and dry as tinder, the
flames spread rapidly and cnveloped
the approach to the bridge before it
was possible to check them.
Heroic work on the part of the fire
companies prevented the destruction
of the entire east end of the bridge,
which semed doomed for a time to
