Aberdeen, Wash., Oct. 18. Fire
that burned from 9 o’clock yesterday
morning until 2 In the afternoon
caused four deaths and destroyed
property valued at approximately one
million d'dlars. It practical'y wiped
out the main business street of this
town, which is built mostly of wood.
Ten business blocks and residences
were destroyed. Every business man
in the city is a loser, either by Are,
water, removal, breakage or loss by
theft. Not anticipating that the
flames could get beyond the fire de
partment’s control, many waited until
the fire was close upon them beforo
starting to move out. The streets
were soon strewn and littered with
all kinds of material and the rush and
haste of teams and people in every
direction caused great confusion.
The fire started in the old Mack
building on Hume street, which had
been regarded as a fire trap and a
dangerously constructed building. It
was three stories high and was occu
pied by numerous single men who
cooked their own meals chieflv on oil
stoves. It was in a room on the third
floor

and the interior of the building was a
mass of flatms when the alarm was
sent In. The four dead men lost their
lives In this building. From the Mack
block the fire spread to the fine new
hose house and headquarters of the
fire department. Great volumes of
flames shot into the air and the heat
became unbearable a block distant.
The flames spread with remarkable
rapidity, licking up building after
building despite the heroic efforts of
the firemen.
In order to stop the further progress
of the flames dynnmite was used on

St. Petersburg, Oct. 19. A news
paper published at Port Dalug is re
sponsible for the report that th«i
British minister to Japan, Sir Claude
MacDonald, has undertaken to medi
ate between Russia and Japan, and,
iiaving secured Japan's consent to cer

with Russia. These proposals are that
Russia shall restore Manchuria to
China, and that the principal Man
churian towns be opened to foreign
trade; that Russia withdraw all her
troops from Manchuria with the ex
ception of the railway guards; that
she renounce her forestry concession-?
on both sides of the Yalu river La
well as the Yongampho concessions,
and that the whole country south of
the Yalu be admitted as belonging to

Danger of Conflict Averted.
Paris, Oct. 20. —Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador to the United
States, has been interviewed on the
Far Eastern question. The ambassa
dor said that the danger of a conflict
which was real a few days back,
seemed to have been averted, and
that If ever a conflict came it would
*--'t be provoked by Russia. Continu
ing, he said: "Our rights in Man
churia are undeniable. We made the
country, which until quite recently,
was a mere haunt for bandits. We
now have a vigilant police there, and,
moreover, we have built the railroad.
This does not mean that we Intend to
annex Manchuria, but, having in
curred enormous expenditures and

we insist that these be safeguarded,
and we expect to realize our legiti

Cincinnati, Oct. 20. —The jury in the
case of Daniel Voorhees Miller and
Joseph M. Johns, on trial in the fed

alleged conspiracy to extort a bribe,
reported shortly before midnight that
it was unable to agree and was dis
charged. The trial attracted unusual
attention as it was the first one under
the many recent indictments for al
leged frauds in the postofflee depart
ment. The defendants renewed their
bonds for a new trial and District At
torney McPherson was unable to state
whether there would be any hearing
of the case set for the present term of
court. While neither side indicated
any gratification over the result it
was evident that the many employes
of the government who were present
were disappointed.
AIRSHIP THAT FLIES.

San Francisco, Oct. 20. —Dr. August

of San Francisco by sailing over their

solved the problem of aerial naviga
tion. Dr. Greth had previously tested
his airship by making ascensions with
the balloon held captive by a long
rope, but yesterday was the first time
that he had gone skyward free. The
balloon Is cigar-shaped and has a
capacity of 50,000 feet of gas with a

scope of the maneuvers, which will
commence in full strength to-day and

comprehensive that has been ar
ranged. and practically every situa
