CITY BURNED LIKE TINDER.
Particulars of Hakodate Fire Show
Destruction Was Great.

Victoria, B. G., Sept. 16.-The
steamer Shawmutt, which arrived last
night from Manila via Japan and China
with a cargo of hemp, tea, silk and
general freight and 40 saloon passen-
gers, including many naval, military
and civic officers from the Philippines,
brought further news of the great fire
at Hakodate.
1t seems the big confagration origin
ated in soap factory near the Higa-
shigawa school and spread with great
rapidjty, sweeping away hundreds Of
bamboo houses. During the fire pow

involving much loss OF life. In all
800 lives were lost during the confla-
grafton and $4,000 homes burned, a
strong wind tanning the fire, which
spread with great rapidity.
All the foreign consulates, admins
trative offices, banks, company offices,

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
HAS NEW SCHEME.
W. 8. U'Ren Would Elect Senators bv
Direct Vote.

Oregon City-W. S. U'Ren, the
father Of the initiative and referen-
dunn, has a plan to make Statement No.
l nearly ironclad and to make the peo-
pie of Oregon dominant over the legis-
lature and any political party as we'll.
He proposes to have bill enacted into
law next June through the initiative by
which candidates for the legislature
will be instructed to sign Statement
No. exactly as it is written in the
law. The members of the legislature
are further commanded to vote for the
candidate for senator who is the choice
of the greatest number of people.
Mr.. U'Ren has been working on such
a bill for several weeks and now has it
drafted and all ready to spring. He
believes that if the bill becomes law
there will be no question of the men,
bers of the legislature obeying the pro-
visions it contains.

ROOT OF EVIL NOT REACHED
Physicians Opposed to Compulsory
Pasteurization OF Milk

Brussels, Set. 17.-Dr. Henry I. Colt,
of Newark, N. j., resident of the Amer
ican association of medical milk COM
mission, is strongly opposed, in an ad-
dress today at the international Milk
congress, tosthe compulsory pasteuriza-
tion of milk as means OF effectively
improving the supply of milk. DR..
Colt said that to employ pasteurization
as anything more than temporary ex-
pedient would be undesirable, because
it would remove the incentive to the
public to compel the producer to ac-
complish an improvement. Pasteur-
lied milk in bulk is not only intrin-
sically less desirable than clean raw
milk, declared DR.. Colt, but is actually
unsafe unless it is consumed within "a
hours and is kept at or below 10 de-
gress centigrade-5O degrees Fahren-
heit. DR.. Colt also said:
"To resort to the compulsory pas
of the milk supply in large
cities as protection against tuberculo-
sis instead of taking more radical meas
ures for it's eradication from milk
herds, would be protecting only those
who live in the cities and would ex-
pose all who live in the rural districts.
The only real safeguard lies in the
complete eradication of bovine tubercu-
Iosis,'

YEARN FOR STATEHOOD.
Governor Of New Mexico Urged to
Call Convention.

Call Convention.
Santa Fe, N. M, Sept. 1e.-Dele-
gate Andrews, national committeeman,
Lunar II. o. Bursum, chairman of the
Republican central committee, ex- Unit
cd States Attorney Childers, Judge A.
L. Morrison, General John P. Victoria,
a Democrat, Postmaster Walters and
other citizens today called upon Gov
ernor Curry to urge him to call con-
stitutional convention within two
months so that constitution may be
drafted, submitted and adopted by the
people before congress meets after the
holidays, with plea for admission to
statehood. 1t is proposed to call to-
gether the delegates elected to draaft
the constitution under the joint state
hood plan year ago, most of whom
have expressed willingness to serve
without compensation.
Governor Curry declared himself in
hearty accord with this plan and prom
ised to take action after his return
from consultation with President
Roosevelt.
Within the past few days nearly
every newspaper in New Mexico has
come out in favor Of holding constitu-
tional convention this fall and senti-
ment for statehood is practically unani-
nous.

IMPROVEMENT ON
HARTMAN LINES
viii DoubIe.TraCk All ROadwayS from
Chicago to Pacific.
Will Extend From Chicago to San
Francisco, Portland and Seattle
Electric Power to Be Used Over
Mountains-Cost Will Reach About
$75:OOO,OOO.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-As result Of
his trip throughout the West and ow-
ing to his unbounded faith in the con-
tinued prosperity of the country, E. II.
Hartman has approved plans for the
spending Of between $75,0O0,000 and
500, ,00O,0 900 to complete what he be-
lieves will be the best double track
transcontinental railway system in the
country.
His plan contemplates the construc-
ton of low-grads double-track rail-
way from Chicago to the Pacific coast
at San Francisco, Portland and Seattle,
and its operation over the mountain
sections by electricity, generated by
water power from the Rockies and the
Sierras. The completion Of this enter
prise practically will have the effect of
adding three single-track roads, so far
as capacity to handle tonnage is con-
cerned, to the transcontipental system.
Mr.. Hartman contemplates the i'm
provement of the mountain section Of
the Southern Pacific by building an en-
tirely new line for a distance of SO
miles between Rocklin and Colfax,
Cal. This will have grade of 7s feet
to the mile and will be used as an up
hill tarck. The present line, with it's
grade of 1l6 feet to the mile, will be
used as the downhill track.
The company has just completed the
lengthening of all sidings on the Sierra
so that each will hold AZ
cars and three locomotives, such as are
used i'll taking single freight train over
the mountain division. Borings are
being made and shafts sunk for the new
tunnel, which is to be five and
miles long and which is to
lower the grade by total OF 75O feet.s
1t is expected that $50 miles of the
double tracking Of the Union Pacific,
will te completed by the close of the.
year.

DISPATCHER BUNGLES ORDERS.
Trains Collide in New Hampshire and
"a Are Killed.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. II.
"A fearful head-on collision between
the south bound Quebec express and
north bound freight train on the Con-
cord division of the Boston & Maine
railroad occurred four miles north of
Canaan station Sunday, due to mis-
take in train dispatcher's orders, and
from a demolished passenger coach
there were taken out "a dead and dying
and 81 other passengers, most of them
seriously wounded.
Nearly all those who were in the
death car were returning from fair at
Sherbrooke, Quebec, so miles north.
The conductor of the freight train
was given to understand that he had
plenty of time to reach a siding by the
night operator at Canaan station, re-
ceiving, according to the superintend-
ent of the division, copy of tele-
graph order from the train dispatcher
at Concord, which confused the train
numbers 80 and "a.

AFRAID OF lANDlS.
Judge Who Fined Standard May Not
Grant Alton Immunity.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Judge Kene-,
saw w. lands, famous for having i'm
posed the record fine on the Standard
Oil company, is causing considerable
uneasiness in the department of justice,
because of his apparent determination
to prosecute the Alton railroad. The.
determination of the Judge would not
give concern, but for the fact that this
road was promised immunity by the
government if it would give up infor-.
nation which would enable the govern.
pany. The Alton road fulfilledsits part
of the contract; its evidence accom-
plished all that the government sought,
and now the Alton is asking the govern
ment to live up to its agreement and
overlook the sins of the railroad, which
are contended to be of much less inn
portance than the sins of the convicted
Oil company.
The curious thing about the situation
is that Judge lands is not necessarily
bound by any immunity premise given
by the department of justice. He,
knows that ex-Attorney General Moody
authorized the giving Of such pledge,
and he knows that, if Mr.. Moody or the,
present attorney general had full say,
the Alton road would be protected.
simply and solely because of the prom
se OF the government. But under our.
system of government the department.
# justice can not dictate to Judge Lam.
lis, nor can the president by any legal
light direct this judge as to what course,
le shall follow. So far as criminal
prosecutions are concerned, Judge Lam
liz is supreme in his own Jurisdiction,
md if he sees fit to disregard the prom
Sc of immunity, there is no power in
he government that can check him.

MORE JAPANESE COMING.
Member of Parliament Says Britain
Should Be Careful.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. l7.-Seven
thousand five hundred dollars is unotfi-
cially stated to be the amount of dam
ages which will be paid by the Domin-
ion government for Japanese windows
smashed. The bill will be dispatched
tomorrow to Ottawa and is to be paid
Immediately.
In the mean time Mayor Bethune is
today still trying to secure government
cooperation to provide for the suffering
Hindus. The condition is rendered ex-
ceedingly,,bad by the cold rain of the
last day and half. Many are in tents
and when they get chance to lie down
it is in pools of water with wind and
rain blowing into their faces. The
greatest crowd is at the Maple Leaf
boarding house, an old shack near the
waterfront. Here $50 are quartered.
Temporary hunks were put UP last
night and the Hindus, surrounded by
terrible conditions, lie in the successive
tiers of their stuffy quarters. Cook
ing, sleeping, eating and bathing 60 on
in one room and men are crowded so
closely that only by careful manipula-
tion is the space large enough for all to
stay indoors. The stencil is frightful
and the civic authorities fear epidemic.
The steamers Woolich and Indiana
Are now overdue with more than 900
Japanese, the formersfrom Yokomhama
and the Indiana making her second trip
from Honolulu. The mayor believes
here will be no further trouble when
hey arrive. R. G. MACPHERSON,
member of parliament for Vancouver,
declares that Great Britain should be-
ware of another Boston tea incident, if
he food of japanese immigration is
allowed to continue.

Only two columns of tribesmen are now

if the delegates from the tribes suing
for peace did not appear at noon today,
he would destroy the Moorish camp.

Must Not Invade Reserve.

Pendleton-In letter just received
by County Superintendent Well. from
J. H. Ackerman, state school superin-
tendent, the hopes of public school
for white children en- the reservation
are dashed. Not long since Professor
Wells wrote the state superintendent
if district might be established upon
the Uatilla Indian reservation. He
had been asked to take the matter up
by various white renters living on the
reservation and who have children of
school age. However, in his reply Su.
perintendent Ackerman declared the
county has no right whatever to extend
its schools to the reservation.

Strike Hampers Traffic.

st. Paul, Sept. 16.-A general strike
of boilermakers on the Chicago & Great
Western, Great Northern, Omaha,
Northern Pacific and 500 railroads was
called Saturday. The boilermakers are
aided in their fight by their helpers
and in the case of the Great Western
the machinists in the big shops at Oel-
vein went out in sympathy. The
strike of boilermakers followed a re-
fusal of the railroads to accede to a
demand for As cents an hour east of
the Missouri river and AN cents west
Of that river.

Bonaparte today preparatory to his trip
to Chicago to take up the case of the
government against the Chicago & AL

in the morning papers, he had resigned
on account of the granting of immunity
TO the Chicago & Alton by Mr.. Morri-

Try to Avert Car Famine.

lines are in attendance. Conferees ad.
init that an alarming shortage of roll
ling stock confronts the railroad, but
refuse to state whether any line of ac-
tion to avert conditions as bad, if not.
worse, than prevailed last winter, had
been agreed upon at the conference lust
