I in an alarm, but before the tirr.i engine arrived the shingle shed wa. a mass of flames, vlii'-h h:t'l corni.iuni i'.le.i to the surrounding lnuil r pil-s. The Martin yards t. re Z.'iV f.-ei 1 ng t'.v feet wide, and th-i flam s originated in exactly the right pot for the strong northwest wr.d whten Avas blowing at the tim" to carry them through the entire length and breadth of the yards. The wind drove the flames fo fiercely that tin- first engines which arrived were utterly helpb-ss. and call Hftej- all for additional help ;s made t;nt!.l over ufty engines and three tire lwiats were at work r. the lire. It is lot. likely that exert they would have t otir.ted for mich had not the wind died pway after tl:e lire had been burning an h our. The ooi.rs- of the flames was southeast and e.ist for th f r ? t forty-five minutes and ihey literally Poked up everything hi thdr pith. Tiles of lumber, lath, shinis.es a:td cedar posts were swallowed up with an appalling rapidity, and for a tim- it seemed as though the entire lumber district of the city, which f rrefehes i mile to the south, and as far to the east of the burning yards must be consumed. Th-- wind, however, "suddenly chapped at f'-.llO o'clock and beg;. in to bicw from south, and with much le.--violence than befor. The flanie started to a line lvel with its ?tartinR i 'iut.

The fireboat Y'rfsemite was at w-rk in one of the idips when the direction of the rire changed and the tonguca of flmie which fhot over her made it necessary that f-he be removed at enee. When an effort was made to tart her up it was found that h r steam was low that the host culd pot be nnvM with any rapidity, and the flames were swooping down upon her at a tearful rate. The men frantk-aily pushed her off with r-oles and boards, and she finally crawlM out of the slip with no more damage than a fevere scorchin? in eeveril places. The fireboat leyser had also a clos rail, but ran through the flames and leaped out over the dip and escaped unharmed. Two of her mm, John MoCann and Thorn is Freediner., were -badly burned while fighting the fire. A large "yiamsad" hose, which they were holdIn?, got away from them and knocked tioth men over the aide of the boat upon a pile of burning cedar posts a few feet way. Their injurlea are not fatal. In addition to the firemen injured, the following casualties occurred. I'Ker PheXn, pipe-man, inhaled hot air ar.d baiiy burned. Unknown boy shoved into the river bycrowd n.d drowned.

Mar nine at the lilcano AVest Mile Hall Purk. CniCAOO, Aug. 5. The discovery of fire in the grand stand at the West Side ball- park this afternoon caused a wild panic among the spectators, in which several met with serious injury, and a large number of others were slightly cut and bruised in endeavoring to make their exit. Those most seriously injured are: F. W. Bart lee, forty-eight years of ago, lex fractured. lid Ahrne, of the Fire Insurance patrol, severely burned about the hands and face. Following are those treated at the county hospital whose injuries consisted f lacerated hands and fingers from scaling thy barb wire: (jeorge J,. Kemper. Dew-it Smith. J. I!. Martin. M. L.

Kwry available seat in the grand stand and bleacher teas occupied, and a large crowd of men and boys contented themselves at no; Unding scats In taking- ap their positions on the ball field. The game hid advj med to the seventh inning with the 'hi'a,fos hading the Kd Stockings by seven rims, when suddenly a cry cf tire was heard from the bleachers and a thin veil of t-rnoke was seen creeping through the seats from below. The cry of Pre v, as taken up on all sides ami in a very short time a terrible panic ctisu ;. The four eits leading from the grounds were jammed with anxious men and boys and also a sprinkling of women. The exits were not large onouph to permit the t rritied throng t ro through, and hundreds of men sought places of .safety by jumping over the barbed wire fence and into the ball ground. T!i- li t.r row-; of barbed wire wiii'-li eneirc!-. the stands proved very disastrous to the people who attempted to make their way through them to the grounds. A jam of men and hoys crowded to the barbed wire fence but they were not ab'e to get through, owiiur lo the closeness of ihe wires. j The first to the ffn. e scaled it suceessj fully, but those that followed, in their J anxhty to get to safe quarters, fried to ) crawl through, and in neatly every inj stance became wedged between the wires. Clothing was torn in shreds and hands and hps were lacerated by the sharp barbs. When the fu-e department arrived the entire fifty-cent stand on Lincoln-st. and also a portion of the grind stand were u mass of U iiueri. The fire spread with lightning-1'ke rapidity and the small force ,,f thvr.ifMi whi. !i r-spond.-d to the first alarm were unable to cope with the raging flames. Fire Marshal Sween-je. seeing that the entire buildings in the btll park were threatened, sent in a 2-11 alarm and with the reinforcement of engir.es. the fire was k?pt from spreading to the- grand stand proper. Thw heat from the llame was so intense thai the firemen were unable to get within twenty yards of it. The sidewalks n notn f.des o, LIncoln-sr. and also the cedar paving blocks in the Street were burned. IM ward Ahlen, a fireman connected with the Insurance- patrol No. tt. ndeavored t. reach the lull ground by going through that portion of the sjand whhh was ju flames. He only went a short distance utwn his lothing caught tire. H was compelled to retreat into Lincoln-st., where comrades extinguished the fire m Iiis clothes. He was badly burned about the h.id and hands. During the stampede W.

He was rescued from his perilous situation bv polie- officers, lie was removed to the county hospital, where It was found that his left leg was broken heliw th knee. Ha was also badly bruised about the body and limbs. TJie close proximity of the county and Presbyterian hospitals ?tcod the Injured in good stead. For an hour after the first aiarm the physicians of both hospitals were kept busy attending to the injured. Twenty or more were sent to the county hospital. None of th men save Ahren and Partltt were kept at the hospital, the others being- turned away as fast as their injuries were attended to. After an hour's hard work the blaze was gotten under control. The damape was about $4.000, covered by insurance. The cans of the fire 1s thought to be due to a lighted cigarette being thrown among the shavings and other combust!bio material tinker -the stand. Heavy Loss at Oak Harbor. TOI.KDO.

Are the Senators Accused of Buying Sugar Stock. At Least That Is the Opinion of the Committee. NONE COULD BE DISHONEST The Trust Paid No Money for Campaign Purposes, According to the Evidence as Weighed by the Committee. All the Member Auree llirept ns to Certain Snpiilenientnt Mnttera I'lled by Senntor l,nlr and Davis Supplemental Ililrienre Not Heretofore PuhllMlied The Report of the I n el Ixru t lK Committee What Wu lis pee led. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 2. .senator tlray, chairman of the sugar investigatingcommittee, presented the report of the committee to the senate today and asked that the committee be diecharged. The main report is signed by all the senators of the committee, but Senators Lodge and Davis present a supplemental report and Senator Allen also presents his own views on some features of the case. The report, which has the approval of the full committee, recites the cause which led up to the investigation and quotes the article from the Philadelphia Press on which the charges apainst senators were based. It also re.dtes the facts which have been published already as to the refusal of the correspondent. Fd wards, to answer queries put by the committee. Sem tary Carlisle is exonerated and the parts of the article reflecting on him are declared to be without foundation, except tr.at it is a fact, according to Secretary Carlisle's testimony, that lie did at th request of Senator Jones of th finance committee draft an amendment to the sugar schedule, a copy of which, as described by Mr. Carlisle, is attached as an exhibit to the testimony. The conduct of Mr. Kdward. says the report, in publishing specific charges against public mfn without having personal knowledge "if the facts calls for the serious reprobation of the senate. The committee also says: "There has been no testimony presented before your committee, and your com-mittpe-has been unable to discover any ten, ling to show that the sugar schedule was male up. as it then stool in the propose. 1 amendment to thd tariff bill, in consideration f large or any sums of money paid for campaign purposes of the democratic pirty. No witness has testified before your committee that such was the fact, and all the democratic members of tho finance committee and the senators whose names have been mentioned in th. public press as especially Interested in protecting the sugar refinin? industries, or in wliose states sugar refineries existed have, under oath, denied that fu'n was the truth, or that they had any knowledge or information as to any sums of money, large or otherwise, having been paid for campaign purposes of the democratic party by the sugar trust, by those connected with it, or by anybody, as a consideration for favorable treatment of its interests by said party." SiiKnr Kellnern' Testimony. The committer also report the suhcfunoe of the testimony of the sugar refiners, assorting that campaign contributions were made only to the local rommittecjj and not for the purpose of influencing national eampslgna or for the purpose of securing or defeating national legislation. No other testimony has, th" committee says, been offered, suggested or discovered which would tend to support the statements of Kd wards in this regard. Nor is there, they unite in saying, any evidence in support of the statement that either of the Messrs. Havemeyer had an Interview with President Cleveland or. a yacht in the summer of 1MI2 or of 1V.I3 in regard to the sugar interests of the Hawaiian islands, or any other sngir Interests or the policy of the administration im regard to them. "On the contrary, it has been affirmatively shown," they say, "that the statement Is untrue as to any su-h interview having occurred." It Is. the committee says, shown by the evidence that one or more officers of the sugar trust were in Washington and that th?y saw several senators generally thre representing states in which sugar refineries were located with the View of influencing legislation, but these gentlemen deny the use of any improper means to that end. Poth the members of the trust and of the finance committee denied that any nipetlng took place between them at the capitol or elsewhere, as was stated in the "Holbtnd" letter to have taken- place, and there Is no evidence in support of the statements in this regard. The committeemen were also united in Faying that no evidence has been adduced tending to show improper conduct on the part of those engaged in the framlnjr of the nugtr schedules in the tariff bill. "Though perhaps outside the scope cf the duty imposed upon your committee." they say, "they take occasion to strongly deprecate- the Importunity and pressure to which congress and Its members are subjected tiy the representatives of great industrial combinations, whose enormous wealth tends to suggest undue influence and to create in the public mind a demoralizing belief In the existence of coiruptlon." The committee reports In the negative upon the question "whether any senator has been speculating In tugar stock during the consideration of th tariff bill." As to the latter branch of the Inquiry, which brought out a photographic cop;, of an order to buy sugar stocks, dated March 2. and purporting to be signed by Senator Camden, the committee gives credi nee to the denial of Senator Camden and says that Hatter&hall, whose evidence was expected to bear up the Inference from the photographic copy, was a man of doubtful character. Senstor Smith is also exonerated from blame. Summing up the committee Kays that "no charge or charges have been filed alleging that the action of any senator has been corruptly or Improperly Influenced In the consideration of the tariff bill, and no attempt has been made to so influence legislation. " All the testimony taken by the committee Is submitted as a part of the report. Snppletnen t-iil Iteport. Messrs. Davis and Iodjce, republicans, submitted a supplemental report devoted entirely to the subject of the Influence of the sugar trust, so-called, on the miking of the sujrar schedule as It now stands In the tariff bl.l. They say that "no evidence has been submitted to th commute which proves that the susar schedule was made up In order to fulfill obligations to the ugar truft for campaign contributions," but they consider It their duty to go Into some detail as to the method employed In making up the sugji schedule for which th dwiiocratio m brs of tht finance convmit-

A C'nae That Almost Surpasses the Mlrnc-lew of Old. (From the Rural Spirit, Portland, Oregon). Upon the Oalapooia River, at the edge of the Cascade Rahp-e. in the town of Holly, Linn Co., Oregon, lives W. H. Henderson, a man with an Interesting history. It is mot interesting as told by himself to a reporter. "My native place is llrockvllle, Canada," said Mr. Henderson, "where I have always made my home up to 1SS0. with the exception of a few years that I was a resident of Oswe-go, N. Y New York City, and Chicago. In 1SS3 I came to Oreg-on. I am a. oarpptiter by trade, and in the summer of lss9 was working at Cornales, county-seat of Benton Co., Oregon. I did not feel well all summer; my knees, cd bows and shoulders ached so badly that I concluded to go home the last of August. One day, after reaching home, my wife was leading the horses by the house and called me to see them. While looking at the horses I felt my knees getting weak. I went into the house and fell on the fl'M.r. "When I came to my fenses I was on the lounge and my wife crying. John McDaniels, our nearest neighbor, was there. I recovered somewhat TJirough the day. and in the evening I walked to my Ired. That night about ten o'doi k I had another stroke of paralysis. The torture that I went through is too horrible for me to describe. 1 was helpless. The neighbors canw in. Dr. Henrey, of Brownsville, was sent for, and I made my will, but could not sign it so it was legible. The back of my neck swelled up; Dr. Henrey had them put muetard plasters on my neck and down my back and down the side of my rlsrht leg, and on the bottom of my feet. The skin came off the bottom of my right foot. I was covered, with sores from head to foot. If I had to be lifted up in td it took two or three men to do It- There was a. gathering In my left ear and it broke and discharged matter twice. My wife bad to move my legs when they were moved. I had watchers at rights for weeks. Mr. M4chael Ha ragen, owner of the lunm'oer mills on Hamilton Creek, was one of them. His postoffiee address is Lebanon, Linn Co., Oregon. Mr. Willlam White, head sawyer for the sanv, and Ir. James N. Rice. ex-m-?mber of the legislature of Oregon. Weeks went by and months, and I lay in bed helpless. WTien my bed was changed another bed had to be brought alongside and me Fhd across onto it. I do n t remember of sleeping a wink for months. They used a palvarnV battery for months, but it pave me n relief. I had them write to lr-Mos-ier, specialist. Urand S'treci. New York, stating my case. He wrote me he could not help me, after which I concluded that I must die. I had given up all h'-pe. In reading i.iy eastern papers I saw the miracles that a medicine called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were performing, but that itself would not have Induced me to try them, had I not seen the name of Mr. i,. T. Fulford. of I'.rockville, 0;:t., connected with them. That gave me hop-. I had known him from a little iiy, ami 1 knew thar money would not induce him to deceive his fellowman. I wrote Mr. Fulford to send m-" some Pink Pills, and before 1 had used the first lot I noticed an Improvement. I sent for more, an 1 In a little tlnr I was on my crutches, and walking around the house. The last boxes that I got are d.flnsr the business. The pains left my head altogether six weeks ago. and it Is now as clear as a bell. The swelling on my ne k Is gone, atid my right ankle is much botter. I can get around now without any assistance, and am heavier than I ever was in my life. Thtie are a hundred peorlo about here who will testi'y to my sickness and cure If anyone doubts It." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not a patent medicine In the ppnse that name lir.pl!--s. They were first comH'tind'l us a prescription, and used as such in general practice by at eminent physician. So great was th-lr ett'cacy tha; It was deemed wise to fAnc them vüh!a the reach, of all. Thy are i.ew manufactured by the 'Dr. Williams' Medicine Company. S herf etady, N- Y.. and P.roekville.

"It a also admitted," says th report, "and it Is proved by the sworn testimony of every witness called, that the present form of the schedule was that desired ly the representatives cf th3 refiners or the sugar trust." The three interests coneerned in the sugar schedule are stated to be those with no local or pecuniary Interest who believed in frew sugar, the producer of raw sugar and the retiners. It s ion became exident after the bouse bill came to the senate, says the report, tiiat no bill could pass that body which did not regard Imili the latter interests. The Intet ests of the producers an i refiners then. It is said, came Into conflict, the refiners favoring an ad valorem duty on raw sugar, as now embodied In the bill. It Is pointed "it that Messrs Ilavemeyer. Searles, Henry IL Rvl, Cord Meyer and H. L. Terrell of the sugar trust all testified that they sought to secure an ad valorem duty. The report says; "It appears hy the testimony of Senator Vest that Senators Price of Ohio, (Inrman of Maryland. Smith of New Jersey, Hill of New York and Senators White and Caffrey of louisians. after aald conference fof democratic senators) came to the rooms of the ftnanee committee in regard to the sugar schedule. Senator Vest testified that Mr. Clorma n urged a duty of 40 p-r cent, ad valorem and u quarter of a cent per pound differential In favor of refined sugars as -the proper schedule. This was opposed by the senators from Louisiana, representing the producers as against the refiners of sugar. Afterward the specific schedule was changed by the finance committee and was reported as it noA' stands with a 40 per rent, ad valorem duty and one-eighth of a cent per pound differential." The supplemental report of Senator Allen of Nebraska, which was published some days ago. In also submitted with the report. Some Inside Testimony. The supplemental testimony taken by the committee, but kept secret heretofore, Is submitted with the reports. It contains the statements of Albert M. Seipe, I'mil Clliaudeau, Senators Camden, Smith and others. Seipe said in hla testimony that he was In the office of Carson & McCartney of this city mora or less and that his purchase of sugar stock had leen largely Influenced by seelnt senators la the office and by the common talk that they were dealing In sugar stocks. He said he had een Senators Price, Quay and Smith there frequently this spring, but had never heard either of them give an order for sugar stock. He piiMiuced letters from Knill Jillaudeau of the New York brokerage firm of Wheeler & Co., the first Waring date June 19, and reading: "I see that Sin i".h of New Jersey and Camden of West Virginia both swear thst they had not speculated in suwar stocks. 1 could produce a man, or, that is, I know a man (I do not think h would go back on them) who was In my office this nvornlng, that received orders In sugar front both of them, olid he has Camden's written irder. I should think that If senator swors falsely It was a pretty serious matter. lo they swear to these questlona under onih?" In the next letter, datsd June 21, (111Jaudeau says: "I have had a talk with my friend snd he could not In honor use the information, as the ordern ami the ) bubiuew wtr fcivtu tu him, I thluk jou

know the man. I have before me now the written order for TiO shares of sugar, to buy at f3i and SS'j or less, t.-nder date March 2, and signed by the yonator In question. The order from the other senator was verbal. There is n "v.y that I can see, without his direct testimony against these people, that ihe information can be used, and that would be dishonor, and he refused to do it and I applaud him in it. Could you si.ggest any way that would leave him cut entirely, that It could be ued?" Mr. Seiie said he understood Samuel Batter.-hall to bo the man referred to by Oillaudeau as having- received the-"e orders, (illlaudeau when on th stand said that Hattershall had left with him what purported to be an order for sugar stock, signed by J. N. Camden, written, in lead pen- il on the back of a muehsoilcd envelope, for safe-keeping, but that he (llillaudeaub at Uattershall's tequtwol. had destroyed it. Fdward A. Levy, another witness, furnished the Photographie copy of the order which read: "Uuy me 2f0 shares of sug-ar at S34 or less and ?i'0 Fhar?s at S3,i or less. (Signed I. J. N. Camden, March 2." Senator Smith, when recalled and the letter and testimony of Oillaudeau trat read to him. said that the statement was absolutely false and that he did not know Mr. Pattershall and never had given him an order for the purchase of .-uga r. The Chairman "Do you recollect any transaction in sue-ar stock since the meeting of congress?" Senator Smith "My impression was that 1 bought 1,000 shares of sugar, along last January or the first of February, as nearly as I can recollect. I won't swear positively that I did buy 1.0O0 shares of sugar, but rather have the impression in my mind that at that time I did." Senator Smith added that a friend asked him to buy something of him and he gave an order for 1,000 shares, lie did not know whether it was sugar or not. but thought it was whisky. The question as to purchase of sugar, which Senator Smith hail answered by saying he had not purchased sug-ar. was repeated to him and he said he was not so positive about that. To the host of his recollection he had not, and he could not say whether the Xewark transaction was whisky or sugar; he never kept an account of his transaction.. Ho had written to find out whether it was whisky or sugar and expected an answer. This testimony was taken yesterday. This morning, Aug. 2. Senator Smith appeared before the committee and said that he had ascertained that he had not bought or sol.! any sueir certificates during the pending of the tariff bill in the senate. Senator Camden, who was recalled, said that the signature on the photograph of the alleged order resembled his handWriting and he would not swear that it was not bis. but he had no recollection of ever having written it and had not given such an order.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 There are differences of opinion among treasury olliclals as to the probabilities of another bind issue. Neither Mr. Carlisle nor Assistant Secretary Curtis is willing to admit that there is any real cau-:e fir alarm in the present financial situation. It is shown, however, that :ne president and his advisers are watching with eager interest every change in the financial situation, and that . very phasi of It is being carefully and thoughtfully studied. Notwithstanding this Solicitude, it is believed that it is the judgment of the president that tue situation does not furnish any just apprehension, and that better times confidently may be expected soon. From this point of vit?w it Is argued that the passage of t he pending tariff bill is sure to result in a prompt a.-il general revival of business, and that In consequence there will be a large in-cre.t.-:e in tin government revenues. Receipts front customs, which for m my months past have n--n gradually growing less, l: H believed, will show a mark-d improvement from the very first and will continue i increase until normal condlil 'lis have been reu bed. It is contended that, notwithstanding the fact that the g.dd reserve h:is reached the low-wat-r mir of about $.'2. uOii.twa. the government is really far better able to meet its obligations todty than it was Jus: prior to the February bond issue. There are some, nowever. who take a less hopeful view of affairs. They observe that the gold reserve, which six months ago was brought up to Its normal condition by an increase of $.V,oim),imo in the public debt, is again melting away ami is already reduced to a point $bU"0.000 below the lowest point reached prior to the February bond issue. They contemplate with uneasiness the fact that for a year and more the ordinary expenses of the government have largely exceeded the receipts. Tills was true, even during last month, when In expectation of a material increase in the tax on whisky the receipts from Internal revenue were abnormally large. It is argued that should the pending tariff bill become a law and go into operation even as early as tin1 middle of the present month, no material Increase In the revenue could reasonably be expected earlier than next December, for the reason that the tariff Mil will have passed too late in the season to realize any -onsiderahle amount from the fall Importations. The treasury figures show that there is now In this country at least a six months' supply of susrar. so that little may be expected from that source. This also is true ot whisky. The statistics of the internal revenue bureau show that the tax already has been paid uim over lt.ooo.000 gallons of whisky in excess of the amount upon which the tax had been piiid one year apo. Therefore, but little relief may be expected from this source before December. The only recourse, therefore, it Is contended, will be to a bond issue, and there are many wellinformed persons who believe that If this congress does not pass a prohibitive resolution before adjournment $00. 000,0m) or more will soon be Issued. That there would ne- no difficulty in placing any reasonable amount, even at the premium exacted In February, seems apparent from the fact that Ihe February bonds are being sold at a premium of 1.27 per cent.
