Ax outbreak has occurred among the Chippewa Indians of Mille Lac Reservation in Minnesota, 100 miles north of St. Paul. Six white settlers are reported killed and more injured. Gen. Bnger has cent 150 soldiers from Fort Snelling on a special train to the scene of the disturbance. The Indians fear they will be removed from their reservation, and while a party of surveyors were surveying lands to drain the lake, the Indians beoame suspicious that they were to be driven off hence the outbreak.

In view of these facts and figures it does not seem as though the loss could be more than 8,000, and the most conservative people still stick to 5,0011 as the figures. Only about 2,500 bodies have been recovered so far, and this leaves 2,500 still unaccounted for. It is difficult to believe that more than that number could be entirely loet. "Jocko" Walker aud Frank Davy, two noted Niagara River guides, went over the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, and were lost. They had gone to Port Day, where, securing an extra pair of oars, they started for Chippewa. In the middle of the river they turned the boat down stream, evidently having decided to try to make the head of Goat Island, which they had often done before. The current swept them toward the Canada shore and they failed. They tried to make the. Third Sister Island, but were unable to do so and were swept over the brink of the cataract. Both men were under thirty years of age and were unmarried. By a furious storm which passed over Poit Leyden, N. Y.t the steeple of the Catholio church was blown down. One house was picked up and carried about 100 feet, and an old gentleman and lady living therein injured. Trees and fences Mere overturned and crops destroyed in a wide territory. In Port Leyden the buildings and sheds of the iron-works were totally demolished. At Phinney settlement, six miles from Port Leyden, Mr. and Mrs. Phinney were seriously injured. They were carried in their house about thirty feet, and were injured in trying to escape from the building in its progress. A special from Camderi says that Mrs. Spain, who resided in the town of Florence, was killed by her house falling upon her. Patkick Cukiev, Reese Lloyd, and Richard Williams, three miners in the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, were instantly killed in the Nottingham mine at Plymouth, Pa., by a fall of coal and rock. The men were engaged in eating their dinner at the time the accident occurred, Matthew Davis, another miner, who went to their assistance, was also fatally injured. In the trial of William O. Howard, at New York, for defrauding the stockholders of the defunct Electric Sugar Company of $6,500 under false pretenses the prosecution called three wholesale sugar dealers to the stand from whom the defendant and Professor Freund purchased the refined sugar which was used to blind the stockholders as the sugar that had undergone the electric process. These sugar dealers" testiried to the purchase of the sugar by the defendant and the Professor. F. A. GliAX, Postmaster at Herkimer, N. Y., has disappeared, leaving no trace behind. An examination of his accounts 6hows a deficiency of $2,250. It is feared that he has committed suicide. An active search is being made for the missing man, and a warrant has been sworn out for his arrest by the United States Postoffice Inspector. Neab Meridan, N. H., Lucien Freeman killed hlis mother and a man named John Morgan with an ax. Fraeman is a maniac, and had been considered dangerous. Thre men jumped off a freight train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near Suter, Pa., just as an empty engine passed in the other direction. Two were killed and one fatally injured. The committee of Odd-Fellows to visit the scene of the Johnstown disaster report a loss to the order of 33 members, 34 wives, and 109 children by the flood. Three hundred members lost their household goods "and 225 owned houses and stores which were lost.

DR. CRONIN'3 SENTENCE. Nanes of Men Who Are Said to Have SlgMd It It is asserted in London that the mem bers of the Clan-na-Gael committee who signed the majority report finding Dr. Cronin guilty of treason to the organization and sentencing him to be "removed" -were James J. Rogers, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; P. A. O Brine, of Fittston,' Pa.; Christopher F. Brynes. of Saxonrille, Mass., and John D. McMahon, of Borne, m, y. the census. Bureau Estimate of the Population of Our Country. Pbzpabatioxs for the taking of the census of 1890 are assuming shape. The appropriations provide for 175 Supervisors, which is an excess of twenty-five over the number employed in 1880. This excess of Supervisors will go to the South and West, one each going to Oklahoma and Alaska. The Bureau estimate of the population is 65,000,000 for this census. ' Tried to Swindle a Railroad. Lh the case on trial in Judge Anthony's Court in Chicago, in which Dr. Anna E. Bailey, a physician residing at No. 623 Wabash avenue, had sued the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad Company for $25,000 for injuries alleged to have been sustained in an accident, Attorney Will H. Lyford exposed an. extraordinary conspiracy to fieece the road. The plaintiff had never been injured in the slightest degree, and was at her home at the time of the accident.

Victim of a Drunken Spree. A Fine, oy which one man was burned to death, occurred at Leadville, Col. The fire was the result of a drunken spree, and the victim, Edward Crawley, was too drunk to escape. Three buildings were destroyed, causing a loss of $t,000.

The contract for printing postal cards for the next fiscal year has been awarded to the Brodix Printing Company at Washington EASTERN OCCURRENCES.

WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Mbs. Langtry will continue Another week at McVicker's Theater, Chicago, without change of bill, "Esther Sandraz" having proved profitable and successful. At the end of Mrs. Langtry's engagement, McVicker's will be closed for a week, pending preparations and rehearsals of "The Tempest." The Chicago police have arrested a man who is employed in McGuiness icehouse, in Lake View, He is not wanted for complicity in the Cronin murder, so far as the police kno w, but he is, wanted as a witness in the case, as it is supposed he can tell a good story about P. 0. Sullivan and the men who rented the Carlson cottage. The man, for weeks before and after Dr. Cronin was murdered, loafed around Sullivan's house and barn, and it is claimed he was seen on several occasions talking with the men in the cottage. The police refuse to divulge the prisoner's name. At St. Louis the Iron Mountain passenger train was rounding the last curve before reaching the Union Depot when the

the passengers were hurt, but Engineer Diemert was terribly scalded. Frank Carr, fireman, had a leg and arm broken, and James Trainer, brakeman, was severely injured. It just transpires that Emma Bond, the pretty school teacher, whose terrible sufferings at the hands of villains at Taylorville, 111., in the summer of 1882, aroused the indignation of the whole country, is a married woman, and has been for several months the wife of C.E.Justus, a young wool merchant of Hepler, Kan. The fact was accidentally discovered by some relatives of the young lady through a misplaced letter. It appears that in 1887 Miss Bond visited fnenas at Hepler, Kan., became a ?quainted with Justus, and the friendship soon ripened into love. In October last they came to St. Loui3 and were quietly married. For reasons of their own they decided to keep the affair a secret, but now that the truth has leaked out they have begun living together. Six prominent railroads were fined $100 each by Chairman Abbott, at Chicago, under the new agreement, for violation of the clause relating to advertising. The funeral of Leonard Swett took

There are any number ol Another extensive investigation of

the murder of Dr. Cronin at Chicago has j been begun by a special Grand Jury. At ' u preliminary conference between the

State's Attorney ana me grauu jurors it was determined to make the inquiry a wide one; to hear, in the secrecy of the grand jury room, the testimony of a few witnesses" heretofore held in reserve by the State, and to direct the search not eo much against Alexander Sullivan, Coughlin, Woodruff, and P. O'Sullivan as against five or six other men. the friends of Alexander Sullivan and members of Camp 20 of the United Brotherhood. The jury will take at least a week to perform its duty. The testimony will of necessity overlap that brought out by the Coroner, but it is intended to utilize a considerable imrt of the stenographic report of proceedings of the inquest instead of orally examining the witnesses. A mspatch from Grinnell, Iowa, says. "A fire which was discovered in the cupola of F. S, Treat & Cos grain elevator spread so rapidly that Brooklyn, Marshalltown and Newton were wired to tend aid. In less tban au hour nearly every business buildiug south of Fourth avenue and east of Main street was on fire. The goods saved were rapidly carried to the City Park and the militia was ordered to guard them. Efficient aid was furnished by the Grinnell, Brooklyn and Marshalltown fire companies. The estimated loss is $150,000, hardly half of which is covered by insurance" On the "th met, near Cory don, Ind., James Deavin and Charles Tennyson attempted to burglarize the residence of James LoMay. LeMay resisted and was shot through the body and dangerously wounded. A niece of Mr. LeMay also received a slight wound. The men were arrested in New Albany and afterward transferred to Condon, the county seat of Harrison County. A few nights afterward a mob of about 200 men took Deavin and Tennyson from the jail and hanged them to a bridge. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The President will leave Washington the latter part of this month for Deer Park, Md,, where a cottage his bee a prepared for his reception. The length of his visit has not been settled.. Mrs. Harrison and her grandchildien will leave Washington the hitter part of the present week for Cape Mny, where they will remain until the President is ready to go to Deer Park. The President will make one or more short visits to Cape May during Mrs. Harrison's sojourn there. It is reported that Secretary Blaine has sent a cablegram to Chili requesting Minister Egan to return ly the next steamer. John F. Scanlan, of Chicago, Dr. Cronin's most intimate friend, has recently made several visits to President Harrison, and it is said the recall is to give Mr. Egan a chance to testify in the Cronin case. POLITICAL PORRIDGE.

At the meeting in New York of the National Democratic Committee, upon the nomination of Judge McHenry, of Kentucky, seconded by Senator Gorman, of Maryland, Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, was unanimously elected Chairman to succeed the late ex-Senator Barnum, of Connecticut. Carlos French presented resolutions eulogizing the late Chairman and Senator Gorman spoke at length upon the good qualities of the dead leader. Secretary S. P. Sheerin, of Indiana, made an address on the death of Cftpt. Francis W. Dawson, of South Carolina, and presented resolutions testifying to the high esteem in which he was held by the committee. These were also adopted unanimously. The other business of the meeting was the acceptance of Carlos French as Connecticut's representative on the committee and D. M. Haskell for South Carolina. SOUTHERr INCIDENTS. An attemj)t was made to wreck and rob a passenger train on the Louisville & Nashville Road near Falkville, Ala. A freight train came along before the passenger and was wrecked. No one was hurt.

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. Carnegie, Phipps & Co., who have demanded a reduction of from 2o to 33$ percent, in the wages of the 2,500 men employed at their Homestead, Pa., steelworks have given notice that all who did not sign the scale could consider themselves discharged, the discharge to take effect on July 1. Until the latter date the old wages will be paid. But few of the men have signed. A big strike is expected. ACROSS THE OCEAN. The 6tatue of Bruno has been unveiled at Home with imposing ceremonies. Thirty thousand persons, in eluding students and deputations from various parts of Italy, marched in procession through the principal streets. The ceremonies were witnessed by the syndic of Borne, the government officials, and a large number of Senators and Deputies. Deputy Bovio in an oration eulogized the martyr, and declared that that day there was born a new religion of free thought and liberty of conscience which would be worse for the Papacy than the loss of temporal power. Four hundred telegrams have arrived at the Vatican deploring the unveiling of the Bruno monument. Several cars loaded with excursionists, part of a train in which were 1,200 persons, chiefly Methodist Sunday-school children and their teachers and relatives, were wrecked near Armagh, Ireland, and seventy-two lives wore lost. One-third of the others in the wrecked cars were hurt, and many of these will yet die. All of the bodies have been recovered, and sixty-four of the victims have been identified. Only about a dozen of them are children. The majority of the victims were about 20 years of age. Princess Eugene Estekhazy, sister of Archduchess Isabella, and a great beauty, has died at Vienna, and it is said she died of grief for the late Crown Prince Rudolph. FRESHANDNEWSY The arrest is announced of Ulric Du!ace, chief of a band of outlaws, who has been a terror to the towns and villages on the Maine-Canadian border. Several lives were lost and property was greatly damaged by a recent storm which prevailed throughout New England. Mrs. Anna Quirk, of Holyoke, Mass, was struck by lightning and instantly killed. At Belknap Fred Tierce, a izrocery clerk,

was fatally injured by a bolt and Policeman Stevens was knocked down ' in the street and is not expected to live. At several places houses were struck and the occupants slightly shocked. Eleven business houses aud offices have been destroyed by fire at Syracuse', Kan. Loss, $23,000; insurance,' $11,000. The June report of the Agricultural Department shows a slight increase in winter wheat area seeded. The condition of winter wheat remains comparatively high, and averages 93 per cent, for the country. The area of spring wheat .aas apparently increased about 8 pei cent, and the condition is high. Oats have increased 2 or 8 per cent, in area, but; are 7 points below in normal condition. Barley averages 95 in condition. Area about the same as last year. Bye is about the same in area and 95 in condition. The Sub-Collector of Customs at Rockport, Leeds County, Ont., reports ts the department here that United States authorities have put the alien labDr Jaw into force at Alexandria Buy against those Canadians who are employed as onrsmen and caretakers of American Islanls. A number of Canadians resident at Bockport and thereabouts have been sent back by the New York State officials, and considerable feeling has been aroused at this nnneighborly actum. The Chicago Tribune's review of the crop situation sums up the outlook in this cannot bo much eeud either one way or tho uthor About the tjHliiy wheat crop uiore than this; that so far the country has uot received any intelligence of Ma 90,000,000" crop, which is generally looked for just alter the -wheat is seeded and before it shows e. eiigle Bpear out of the ground. As to -winter wheat, everything depends now on the weathe:? of the next thirty days. The prospects aro pointing to a wet harvest. Drouth and Me s -dan fly are not showing their work vtirly in :ho season. Harvest will bo no earlier than usual, and perhaps a little later. It will not be general much before the iiOth of June. An excellent stand of corn has been cultivated once. Fields that are clean need no more rain for twenty days at least, aud upon the advent of warm weather ought to make rapid growth, llie lew price of corn Is causing farmers to hold hack their surplus. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The flood disasters have entirely ehArged the Bitutttirm in the Kuatorn lumber trade, the coal, iron and steel trade! . Producing coiDpiniis of the fii st importance have suddenly ceased operations, and their orders must be hHed by others or delayed. The flooding of many coal mines cuts off supplies of fuel for many inarmfactoring work S, and the stoppage of the Cambria mills aud furnaces, which produced yearly over 300. 000 tons of iron in various forms, win affeot tha trad for some time. The destruction of more :han forty bridges, about half of them on the Pennsylvania Kailro&d, besides mauv locomotives, cars and miles of track, creates a sudden demand which is felt in all iron and steel markets. Pig iron does not change; aB yet, the production previous to the disaster having bee-n much in excess of consumptian. In anthracite coal the toue is stronger. Mt.ny soft coal mints are cut off for the present. "Wheat and oil have been lower, but in other speculative narketn the general tendency has been toward higher prices. Coffee is a quarter stronger Sugar has been advanced a ua:ter, and the otatistical position is considered strong. Borne grades of leather aie a little stronger. Keports from the interior show a fair volume of trade in progress, except where diuastt rs have interrupted it. Collections are back ware, at Milwaukee and but moderate at New Orlear.s. The money markets are well supplied and easy, with active demand at Cleveland and Detroit. The businc3E failures number 225, as compared with 215 last week and 220 the week previous. For the corresponding period of last year the failures were 235. THE CHOSEN FEW. Tresldent Harrison Makes Known His Choice for Various Offices.

WESTERN CITY BURNED

SKATTL1S, WASHINGTON TEKHITOBX4 IN ASHES.

An Uncontrollable Conflagration Wipes Out the Business Portion at' the Ihue, Causing a Loss of Some Fifteen Million Dollars. Soattle (W. T.) dispatch. The fire which wi pd the entire hairiness portion of Sesttleout of existence Thursday fifternoou began in a paint shop. Au overturned gluo pot was the beginning of the 'Hfnoulty. In a very few seconds the entire building in which the accident occurred was in flames. Tbe building tvos of wood and, like most of the others destroyed stood upon long piles driven into the tide flats along the bay, and was filled around with sawdust. The wind was blowing almost a gale from tbe north, and blew under as well as over and around the buildings. The fire spread rapidly to the south along the west side of Front street, and, in spite of the efforts of the firemen, gradually worked its wav toward the north side. It soon gained such headway as to draw immense crowds to the spot, and many onlookers became wildly excited u:ad madly anxious to he'ip the firemen. In an hour from the time th fire fi:rst broke out half a dozen squares, some of them coverod with the finest buildings in the city, many of brick and stone, four nnd live stories hib, were in fames. Then the (startling 'discovery was mnde that the fire had taken its way along among the piling and through the sawdust uud?r the streot, and that the water pipes had burst. From that moment not

A careful survey of tbe burned are shows that sixty-five blocks, each 300 feet Square, have been swept clean, in all 260 acres. In most cants, even where the best class of buildings stood, there iff scarcely enough debris left to be in the way of those who come to rebuild. It will cost probably $5,000 an ncre to put in the piling and fill around ii; again as this work should be done to lay a foundation for the new city. But it will be done &e soon as the ground is 000! enough for workmen to begin operations. Many holders of property will undoubtedly be comEelled to sell hnlf or more of what they old in order that they may be able to get upon their feet again. . About fifty petty thieves were arrested and taken to tbe lockup, where they wer well taken care of md will be properly punished. The coal bunkers, extending far out into the bay, nnd two or three big saw-mills and plating-mills on the wharves made magnificent spectacles all night. Already workmen have begun in many places to grade and clean up the lots preparatory to rebuilding. Many merchants nave secured quarters in the residence portion of the city, and were open thi morning with remnants of stock from the fire. The people have decided to rebuild the city with brick and stone. This decision was reached quickly and almost unanimously at a meeting held thift morning. The meeting was largely attended. Various commissioner were appointed. Not a single despondent face was seen, nnd no one not aware ot the facts would have imagined that the assembly was held in the midst of a calamity. The air of cheerful earnest ness was surprising. The meeting was addressed by Governor E. P. Ferry

SEATTLB VlETr FBOSI THE HARBOR.

a drop .of water could be had to put upon the tre, and the citizens resigned themselves to see the city blotted out. The fire leaped across Front street at Madison nnd caught in the new Opera House, and in half uu l our laid an entire squae across Front slieet in ashes. It was th-n Hpparent that the Occidental Hotel must go, as well as the most substantial buiidir.us in its neighborhood. Sy 4:30 o'clock i.he tire had swept over the best dry-goods stores, and all the banks, telegraph ofnes and newspaper offices in the city, and had gone south of Yesler avenue, . eouth of which lay an immense area covered with tenements, lodging houses, cheap hotels, nilroad and ist?am waiehouses, wharves, saw and planing mill J and the wholesale district of the town, all built upon piles and sawdust. Here the progress of the lire was terribly rapid. By ti o'clock the whole area of sixteen squares long by from three to six wide, not counting the long piers on which many of the largest warehouses and mills were built, was invohed n flames, which now lit np the heaveufi for many miles. From being madly frantic the populace had become apparently resigned to i:he situation, and nearly everybody saw that he could do nothing , to quench the fire, and coolly turned hie attention to saving as much c.s possible of portable property. The three companion of militia belonging to the city were called out and put on guard around the limits of the fire. Two or three hundred special policemen were sworn in to help them maintain order, which they found little difficulty in dolag. The burnt -out reside ats of the tenement house district managed to save a good many of their goods, and with them they camped down in the streets on vac.mt

lots, or i:i the door-yards ot more fortunate people and n ade thorn selves as comfortable as possible for the night. Dispatches which had been sent to Tacoma, Olympia, and Port Townsond brought in some fire apparatus, and many willing hands to help tight the flames, but when they arrived thoy found that nothing could be done except patrol the streets and protect the thousands of dollars1 worth of propei ty th.it was exposed. This they did, finding little to do, however, except to keep in order the crowds of sight-seers which all night long surged through the burned region. All estimates of thti loss, of course, vary widely. Nobody puts it at loss than. $10,000,000, and some rete it as high as f 20,- ' 00,000 Among tie institutions f.nd firms burned out wore five banks, three theaters, eight agricultural implement warehouses eight iron and ifiach:ne shops, four newspapers, for large job printing offices and binderies, seven commission firms, five drug stores, two of them wholesale, nineteen dry goods, boot and elioe stores, six wholesale dealers in cigars and confectionery, twelve furniture dealers, thiee dealers in general merchandise, twenty-one groceries, -;he best hotel in the city, and at least ten other hotels and lodging houses, one hundred and uixty saloons, four livery stables, foity meat mar

kets, sixteen clothing and furnishing houses, three laund: ies, fou:r paint e.nd oil dealers, five dealers in mnsical instruments, the Western Union and Postal Telegraph office, the American District Telegraph office, nnd tbe telephone office, 11 the warehouses of the Columbia e.nd Puget Sound Steams hip Company, three of the O.

pany except one, a it rge, nevr one that is hardly yet completed, The streets of the burnt section this morning were filled with fallen wads, columns, and charred telegraph poles, twisted and tonglod wires, and bent streetrailway raids. There was also a vast amount of furniture, trunks, and hundreds of safes rescued from the burn ing offices, all of which stood iu the open street all night long, with nobody onering to molest them. The bank vaults have been examined, and found to be all right. None of them have been opened yet, but there is every indication that thsy hdVo carried their contents through the burning trial in safety. The people of Seattle are bearing their great loss philosophically, and more than one man who has suffered -aid to-day that he was glad the fire hadrNvept out of exi stonce a lot of worthless buildings which were bringing enormous rents, and which never would bo torn down so long as tuey could be rented. Now that they had been destroyed, new biick or stone buildings would be built, and Seattle would go to the front faster than it has ever hoped to do heretofore. There is also another cause of satisfaction- the Chinese quarter was utterly blotted out.

Jacob Furth, Angus Mackintosh, JudgeC. H. Hanford, and ex-Governor Watson C. Squire. Each spoke in terms of encouragement and praise for Seattle's business community and was loudly applauded. A committee of five , was appointed to confer with the city au- ; thoiities concerning the subject of widen

ing the streets. Another commission of five was appointed to receive donation and extend relief where found necessary. All companies of the First Regiment are out guarding damaged property and preventing the pilfering of mer chandite or house furnishings. The city is quiet and everybody is hopeful. Got ernor Miles C. Moore ha just issued proclamation in which he says: "The city of Seattle is in ashes. A hurricane of fire swept over the queenly city and she is in ruins. Thousands of her citizens are without food or shelter, but nothing can subdue the spirit of her people, bhe will rise again. In her desolation she is not a supplicant, but there are homeless people to be sheltered and hungry ones to be fed. I appeal to the greaU hearted people of our Territory, who have recently so generously responded to the cry of distress from Johnstown, to heed thU appeal for aid for their own suffering f clip w-citizens." MORE TROUBLE IN SAMOA. Xh Rival Chiefs Organize Their Fore and Thinjpa Look Serlout. Sydney, New South Wales, Jtm 9 . The German steamer Lubeck has arrived here from the Samoan Islands. She sailed from Apia bay May 2S. She brings news that owing to tbe ex pectect arrival of the Sophie and the com ing of the other German cruisers the war spirit was manifesting itself again amongthe natives. Mataafa had gathered together 3,000 of his men near Apia and Tamasese was encamped at Atna witk 2,000. There was no war-ship in the har bor of Apia and the natives were consequently under no restraint. Moreover nothing had been heard thre of the progrebs of the negotiations at Berlin and theforeign residents were uneasy.
