SEATTLE SWEPT BY FIRE

Tho Capital City of Washington Territory a Victim of Conflagration. Host of the Business Portion of the City AlreiJy Destroyed, and Latest Advices Show the Flame? Are Unchecked. --. Skattle, W. T June 6. -A fire broke out At 20 p. XL to-day in the Pontius bnilding, on Front street, and by 4:30 r. M. it was racing over a district of five or six "blocks with tremendous fury. The wind was from the north, and the directioji of the fir was along the water on Front afreet, and from tho water front to tho big brick block between Columbia and San Francisco streets. Tho indications were that the whole business portion of the city would be swept away, involving a loss of millions. The magnificent San Francisco store and other stores in that row wero on fire, and the whole big block seemed doomed. The local firemen were helpless in the face of the calamity, and telegraphed in all directions for aid. At 4:S0 P. M. the conflagation was rushing through the heart of the city. To add to the peril, a smart breeze began blowing off the bay, fanning the flames, and about the same time- a thousand feet of hose was caught in the advancing blaze and destroyed. The opera-house block, the block opposite, all the warehouses at the foot of Columy street, and also the great group of buildings in tho rear of tho Post Intelligence newspaper office were now burning. The people in the Yester Block, occupied by the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Post Intelligence, were hurriedly moving out. At this writing the Western Union had but one wire undisturbed over which this dispatch was being sent. At 0 P. M. thirty-one blocks had been burned in the very heart of the city, and there is imminent danger of the loss of about twenty blocks more. The fire was not at all under control, and had reached the great coal bunkers. Should these be destroyed, the flames were certain to be communicated to a large number of wooden buildings, and ihe loss increased many fold. Still Burning at 10 P.M. . Tacoma, W.T., June C. The most solidlybuilt part of Seattle was destroyed by fire this afternoon, and at 10 o'clock to-night the fiames were still burning. The fire started in the Denny Block, on Front street, and as a strong wind was blowing up the bay, it eoon spread beyond the control of the tire department. The operaJiouse and Coleman blocks soon folowed the Denny and the fiames spread on to the end of the row, destroying the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Company's offices, the largest dry goods stores, a Dank, a jewelry store, and the newspaper otlices. It then iumped across the street to the Occidental Hotel, the largest in the place, a four-story, stone building, and eoon reduced it to ashes. All the buildings 'destroyed were substantially built of brick and stone, most of them beintf three, tour and five stories high. At 10 o'clock the lire wa still spreading, and it seemed likely to take the whole business part of the town. Kngines have been telegraphed for to this city, Portland and Port Townsend. One engine was sent from here at 4 o'clock, and all the assistance possible was sent over by train and boat. The buildings south and east of the Occidental for several squares are of wood, most of them old, and will burn like tinder. They rest on made ground, and as the wind sweeps under, as well as above and around them, they cannot well be saved if once ignited. On the west are the wharves and the warehouse of the Sound transportation companies. It seems probable that the best part of the city will be destroyed. The loss will probably be $5,000,000. 2:S0 a. m. The city is literally wiped out, except the residence portion on High street Aid from Portland. Portland, Ore., June 6. At 4 o'clock Chief Engineer Morgan, of the Portland fire department received a dispatch from Seattle asking for aid. Fifteen minutes later the best engine in the department, fully equipped with crew, etc., and one thousand feet of extra hose, was ready to start, but no one could be found with authority to send out a special train. It was t50 o'clock before the Northern Pacific had a train ready, which started at once. The special expects to reach Seattle by 12 o'clock, midnight. Around insurance offices groups of men discussed the situation and eagerly awaited additional news. Among Portland firms who are said to be losers in tho fire are Knapp, 13 uire 11 & Co. and Palmer & Key. People Moving Oat of the City. ' San Francisco, June C The following brief particulars of the fire that is raging nt Seattle were received here in disconnected form before the wires west were down. The wind was blowing quite strongly at the time the fire started, and when the fire department arrived the Pontns Building was a roaring mass of . names. The firemen worked with a will, but were wholly unable to cope with the fire. The fiames rose high in the air, and sparks were carried forward by the high winds and spread broadcast over that part of the citv lving south. The heat was so intense tha't the firemen were hardly able to approach the burning buildings. Unless the wind dies down, nothing can save that part of the city lying to the south. The firemen are becoming discouraged, as they see the tire is spreading wholly beyond their control. The people in the south part of thecitj-are moviugout. and the streets are crowded, as vehicles of every description have been pressed into service. It is thought the loss at present will be at least $5,000,000. Three Lire Lost In a Uurnlnu Hotel. Stevens' Point. Wis., Juno C-The St James Hotel, vrith its contents, was deitroyed by lire last night The night clerk, Charles Oatball, and two of the girls, Maggie Reilly, and one known as Nettie, are missing, and there is little doubt that all three lost their lives. The two first-named were on the second floor when the tire broke out, and came down, but went back to ecure their wearing apparel. All who escaped saved nothing but what they had on their persons. The station and adjacent buildings to the hotel were saved with hard work. A number of traveling men lost their baggage and samples. The loss is 15,000. with an insurance of $10,000. A New Federation of Labor. CniCAGO, June 6. A new and important factor in railway labor circles was created this evening, when nine delegates assembled in this city, finished and ratified a constitution for the future government of three of the important railway eraployo associations, which are thereby federated in one body, to be known as the United Order of Hallway "Emploves. The constitution, as adopted, is the work of three dsiys conference, ami, without further ratification by the separate bodies, it creates the new order. The delegates, in framing it, represent the Urotherbood of Kail way Brakemen, the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association and the brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, which associations are fused in tho new order. The governing body will be a supreme council, of which the following are the otlicersandmembers: President, K. P. Sargent, grand master of tho Locomotivo Brotherhood of Firemen of Terro Haute, Xnd.; vice-president, Frank fcweenle, grand juarter switchman of the Mutual Aid Association, ttt Chicago; uccretary and treasurer, Ed O'fchea, secretary and treasurer ol the

Brotherhood of Kailway Brakemen, of Galesburg. I1L The six other members of the council are: S. E. Wilkinson, of Peoria, and W. G. Edens, of Bucyrus, O., for the brakemen; E. V, Debbs. of Terre Haute, Ind., and J. J. Hannahan, of Chicago, for the firemen, and G. W. Hallan and W. E. Simms. of Chicago, for the switchmen. President Sargent was asked to-night, "What is the stand of the new constitution on such labor troubles as strikes!" "All dilliculties that can possibly arise between our members and tho railways aro adequately provided for, but the constitution is a secret one and I cannot say what those provisions are." THE CROMN INQUEST. Where Sullivan Lost Money A. Clan-Na-Gael Man with a Bad Memory. Chicago, June 6. In the Cronin inquest to-day, J. W. Moore, cashier of John T. Lester &. Co., brokers, testified that between June, 1SS2, and April 13, 1SS3, Alexander Sullivan paid to the firm, on transactions with the firm, the sum of $123,800, that during the same period he drew out $115,318 in checks, and stocks worth $14,000, showing a net loss of about $4,000. " One of Lester & Co.'s book-keepers was put on the stand, and proceeded to read an abstract of the transactions in stocks which Sullivan had with the firm during the period mentioned. The list was quite long, and was not all read. . Capt. Thomas F. O'Connor, a member of the Clan-na-Gael, 6aid that, in 1S8.J, a man came to see him. This man, he believed, lived in Philadelphia, but he could not remember his name. The man told him that some men were going across the water, and that the chances wero that he (the witness) would be called on to go. O'Connor mentioned this to his friend Dr. Cronin, who advised him not to go; that there were enough good, honest Irishmen behind English bars who had been given away as soon as they arrived, and that he did not believe in the drnamite policy. The 6tranger saw the witness in Dr. Croniu's company, and he did not como to see him again. At the afternoon session John F. Beggs, the lawyer who has figured in the case as a personal friend of Alexander Sullivan, and who went East on a mysterious mission, was the principal witness. Under a close cross-examination he admitted that he wa3 the present senior guardian of Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael. There was no roster of the camn in existence. He could not swear that he aid not meet detective Coughlin on the day of Cronin's disappearance nor on tho following day, pleading faulty memory. He rememberedhowever, that ho was at the Grand Pacific on the night in question, with a party of friends. At a camp meeting in January he said there were reveral attacks by innuendo upon Alexander Sullivan, and in response he pitched into the speakers and handled them without gloves, telling them that if they wanted to abuse Sullivan they should mention his name, and not attack him under cover in a cowardly manner. He repeated the story of going to New York May 14 and meeting a man named Powers, who told him that he had met Starkey, the fugitive jury briber. From thence he went tottering Valley, N. Y. Witness emphatically denied that he had sent a dispatch from that point signed with his initials, to the ell'ect that he had met Dr. Cronin. From Spring Valley he went to Niagara Falls, wliere he met John H. Ronayne, a member of the Clan-na-Gael executive committee. They had a general talk. He had 6een Alexander Sullivan since his return, but not a word passed about the finding of the body. Replying to a final question Beggs said that he had no theory regarding the murder. A. J. Ford, another member of Camp 30, corroborated previous witnesses regarding Cronin having been expelled at one time from the order. Incidentally it came out that Thomas Murphy, father of tho Miss Murphy who claimed to have seen Dr. Cronin on a street-car. on the night of the murder, was a member of the trial committee. The inquest will be resumed tomorrow. . Kgan and the Sullivan Speculation. Chicago Inter Ocean. The testimony of Mr. Byron L. Smith before the coroner's jury yesterday was decidedly confirmatory of the theory of Dr. Cronin'8 friends as to where the money came from that Alexander Sullivan lost in speculating in stocks. Their theory is that the $100,000 came from Patrick Egan when ho was treasurer of the Land League and after he fled to Paris. They say that Alexander Sullivan went to Paris and remained there some time, much of which he spent in close communion witn Egan. After he left there, according to the testimony of Mr. Smith, who is receiver of the Traders' Bank, as given yesterday, $100,000 was sent from Monroe & Co.. bankers, of Paris, to the Continental National Bank of New York, and by the Metropolitan forwarded to the Traders' Bank of this city, to be placed to the credit of Mr. Sullivan. Of course it is not impossible that the funds referred to may have been sent to Mr. Sullivan by some one else residing in Paris, but it seems improbable. It looks as though Mr. Egan was going to be connected in an uncomfortable way with the affairs of Mr. Sullivan. People will now remember, that when Mr. Egan was here on his way to Washington he was rather facetious over the disappearance of Dr. Cronin, and was sure that the Doctor would "turn up" in duo time. Mr. Egan was entirely familiar with the etlorts of Dr. Cronin to expose the improper use of Irish funds, and undoubtedly knew that there were people hoping and believing that Dr. Cronin never would turn up." Dr. Cronin was dead at the time Mr. Egan was talking about him. Did Mr. Egan dream of the real truth! President Harrison is a good lawyer and knows tho force of testimony. It may become a question in his mind whether Mr. Egan cannot be relieved of bis diplomatic duties long enough to come home and explain. How would it do for our government to request Minister Keid to call on Messrs. Monroe fc Co. for an explanation in regard to the money furnished the Continental National Bank, of New York? The fact that Mr. Egan briars the commission of this government to a foreign power makesit important for the government to be assured that his hands are clean and his record without serious stain. Will Mr. Egan's hands and record stand the close test that innocent, honest men court? ?iot Committed by an Irish Organization. Des Moines, June 6. At the Iowa State convention of the Irish National League, here, yesterday, Walter P. Wolf, of Clinton, referred in a speech to the Cronin tragedy. Hq said, that when the Cronin murder had been sifted to tbe bottom, it would be found that it was done by an Irishman paid by British gold, and not an Irish organization.

GE LEW WALLACE TALKS. Faith In President Harrison and the Republican Party Cabinet Quarrels Denied New York Mall and Expreas. Gen. Ltw Wallace, of Indiana, tha distinguished author of 'Den-Hur." after stop, ping at the Gilsey House several days, left on Saturday for West Point, to attend the commencement exercises at tho Military Academy, The General had time to chat with a repporter before he took the train. It has been reported that the President intends to appoint him a member of the com mission to go to Ilavti and settle the idem nity claims and other international questions between that country and the United States. The General did not care to discuss the news of Legitiine'e defeaL Ue was asked: "Will you go. General, if appointed!" T shall answer that question by uning a Mexican tenn that is expressive and conveys fnllv what I intend, to sav. and which, translated, is: 'Who knows?' A day or two ago I was asked the same question by a newspaper man, and my answer was that he could get direct information on that point from the President." 'How is everything politically, presidentially and otherwise in Vashingtont" "hverything is harmonious, notwithstanding the absurd reports published tov the contrary. Why, I never read such stulf as this about President Haihson and his Cabinet. One would think that tho Kepnb li can party was divided so that nothing could save it from going to pieces. The picture is cleverly drawn of an internal strife going on between the President. Mr. Maine and the other Cabinet members. They are represented as being at daggers' points, and an imminent catastrophe is always predicted. Not only the Times, but other Democratic journals have been guilty of spreading similar reports without tha slightest foundation. have never seen before such harmony between a President and his Cabinet as that which exists with the present administration. It is, indeed, something remarkable. I am not speaking from hearsay, but from what I actually know. "The President is conscientious and painstaking in whatever he does, and above all he is terribly in earnest, llis course has 5ivcn satisfaction to tho people generally, here are some who are doubtless disappointed in not getting ofhet, but on the whole I do not think we have had any President who has made a better beginning and been more careful and earnest in tho exercise of his official duties." 'The Democratic prtgs accuse him of nepotism. Do yoa think he has gone fnrtherin that direction than other Prosident!" "The reason other Presidents, especially the Democratic, have not appointed relatives to office is because they did not have them. They usually appointed all they could find. President Harrison's record in that respect does not sutler bv comparison. He is often misrepresented, and has words attributed to him that ho never uttered. The paper which published the statement that the President said that he did not care 60 long as he succeeded in satisfying himself brought forth a denial from nim. He never uttered the sentiment, much less the words, attributed to him. The three months of I'epublican rule have not had any reactionary effect upon the KeImblican party, and to-day I assert that the Cepublican party is stronger than it ever was. I suppose that four vears from now will find 11 the ratio of decrease and ' increase in strength continues the Democratic party weaker and less united and the Kepublican party stronger and better able to win." "Do yon think our government is likely to have trouble with England over the seal fisheries in Uehring 6eaT'' "No; I think the reports sensational. The idea of the captain of a war vessel having the power grauted him bv the Knglish. government to cruise in Alaskan or Uehring tea waters and precipitate a war with us by tiring on our shins is rather absurd. England does not wish to have war with us. and it is not likely that it will bo brought about by the captains of a few war vess'ls." 'Is everybody in Washington pleased with the terms of the treaty concluded by the Sainoau conference in llerliuT" The conference has not concluded Its session yet. No one knows anything about the terms of the treaty. It is true that ft treaty has been published, but who knows "whether that is the correct oneT No official treaty has been received ut Va4hin5tca
