Portland, Ore, July 15.-Two per sons killed, property worth more than $1,000000 wiped out and 200 horses killed was the damage done by the worst fire the northwest has suffered in years.
 Some of the handsomest structures in the city were destroyed.
 The beautiful fair buildings, left after the Lewis Clark exposition, were i'll the path of the flames, among them the famous forestry building. the lar gest structure of logs in the world
 Several apartments were destroyed, the occupants being forced to flee in their night clothing
 The Multuomah Athletic club. POrtland's exclusive athletic organiza- ton, famous throughout the west, was among the buildings burned, and the loss to garages was heavy. The eX- plOsiOn of gasoline in the garage dis trict added to the dangerous work of the firemen and spread the flames, which were famed by a high wind. Before the flames were under con- trol ten acres had been burned over.
 The fire was still raging fiercely, however, and every available engine was kept at work flooding the devas- tated district.
 When news of the disastrous fire at Portland reached Tacoma word was immediately wired that aid would be ready and waiting to be sent from there should the rival city need it.
 The loss of the exposition buildings will be a serious blow to the city on the bay. The structures, which were pronounced the most beautiful of any ever erected for a national exposition have long been a beauty spot to be shown visitors to Portland

RUSSIANS, MEN AND WOMEN, TRAMPLE CHILDREN IN
 RUSH FOR BOATS.
VESSELS BOILER BURST
Many Are Scalded to Death in Their Berths-Women Cast Babies Into the Water to Escape
 the Flames

Odessa, July 15.-Trapped on burning, sinking steamer, 106 men, women and children perished near Kherson on the Black sea, according to dispatches received here. After the collision with the steamer Wam- poa, the passenger steamer Lovki, crowded with passengers, foundered. Her boilers exploded and many of the victims were scalded to death.
 Many of the dead are reported to be Jewish fugitives. Not more than a score of those who were aboard the ill-fated ship escaped, says the ad- vices. In the tangle of blazing debris men fought women in the struggle for safety. Mothers threw their chil- dren overheard, hoping they would be picked up, only to see them drown.
 The stampede for the boats, in which all but the strongest were trampled down, was checked by the explosion of the boilers, which lifted the vessel from the water and rent it asunder.
 Within 15 minutes after the col lision there was no trace of the Lovki, save charred debris and the bodies of the victims.
 The two vessels came together, aC- Cording to the first reports, in the arm of the Black sea at the mouth of the River Dnieper, known as the Bay of Otchokov. From Kherson, a city of 10000, the capital of the prov ince of the same name, relief was sent within a short time, fleet of craft of all sizes hurrying to the aid I-of the victims. Few were picked up as they were town to bits or stunned by the explosion, according to the reports.
 Those who had been made uncon- scious were either drowned or scalded to death. There were numer- ous instances in which the victims, while conscious, were caught in their berths and scalded to death as the vessel went down.
 The survivors assert the explosion of the boilers filled the vessel with steam within a few moments. There were many of the passengers quar- tered between decks, and these had no means of scape from the steamer. Their shrieks, as the riven vessel foundered, added a weird note to the tragedy.
 But few of the small boats could be lowered in time, the explosion tear ing some of them from the davits and splintering the bottoms of others.
 The rush of the passengers and frightened crew prevented the proper lowering of the boats, and one say the dispatches, fell into the water when it had been filled to capacity with men. The swift tides in the bay swept away many who might other wise have been rescued.
 The Wampoa stood ,by, but her con- dition as the result of the collision, was such she could do little or noth- ing, although her boats cruised about picking v- .ew survivors-
