WORLD'S FAIR PALACES IN ASHES.

The Casino, tha Peristyle and Music Ball Totally Destroyed Manufactures' Building Partially Burned—Loss

About SI,000,000.

FLAMES AX JACKSON PABK. CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Fire which started In the Casino at the world's fair grounds at 5*80 p. m. Monday swept away that building, the flames surging through the handsome Peristyle, leaving a tntfl of blackened columns and crumbled statues including the handsome quadriga which surmounted the arched entrance to the lake, and leaving in ruins the magnificent Muslo hall, leaped across the broad avenue and wrapped in'their embrace the 'huge Manufactures' building, with Its mountainous roof, destroying handsome pavilions therein and valuable exhibits packed and awaltr lng shipment. One fireman wa6 killed ttpd several others Injured. The fire, which it is thought was started by tramps, was not extinguished until 2 o'clock this morning, after burning fiercely for eight and one-half hours, and destroying property roughly, estimated at (1,000,000.

Columbian Guard Mason first saw the fire in the Casino building. He ran from one box to another, but none worked and he telephoned to Marshal O'Malley, who responded with the only engine in the world's fair grounds. In the meantime a box alarm had been turned in and four engines dashed through the gates. When Marshal O'Malley reached the fire he sent In a 4-11 alarm. This brought seven engines from Englewood and the Btook yards district, with Marshal Green, who immediately sent out a special alarm for five more engines. These were sent out on a train. The fire tug Queen, which has been on duty since the fair opened, poured In streams of water from the lake and the engines directed their streams upon the west and north point of the blazing Casino. The Agricultural buildi&g caught fire several times, but the guards extinguished the blaze.

Fireman at a DlMdrantagt. The interior of the Casino, with its open center court and balconies, all made of oil-finished wool, fed the greedy flames, which seemed to reach every corner of the building at once. The streams of water fell into the mass of flame without any quenching power, and the wind, which Increased in velocity, drove the flame into the firemen who were fighting it at close quarters. The engines were not able to find enough water. Some of them dropped their suction pipes through the ice into the lake but many of the fire plug connections had been remo.ved and the fire department fought badly handicapped.

Carried to tho Peristyle.

When it was seen that the fire could not be checked in the Casino, the force was concentrated on the Agricultural building and Peristyle. Extension ladders were raised to the top of the classic bridge, which formed one of the most beautiful architectural features of the court of honor. It was while mounting this ladder that Fireman Mowers of engine company 01 fell. The ambulance was called and he was carried to bt Luke's hospital, where he died soon after.

Marshal Green sent a score of men to the Peristyle. He knew that if the fire once reached It it would go to tho Music hall. A dozen streams of water were directed against it, but the Casino wall fell in and the exposed timbers of the

Peristyle blazed up at once, and, driven on by the wind, the fire fastened to the timber frame. Here water could not reach it, for the timbers were covered with staff, and the hollow roof, with a space large enough for a man to stand erect within It, was like a horizontal chimney. The first three columns nearest the casino fell the figures on top crashed to the platform and the fire advanced to the next series of columns. The firemen were helpless. To the east was the lake, with a comparatively narrow platform. To the west was the brick walk, but the wind beat the flames dow until they licked the ground, and' the firemen were obliged to fight at a range too long for their wind-tossed streams.

The fire did not move rapidly. It ate its way to the north deliberately and "with an obstinacy which nothing oould stop. It drove the firemen before it, and gradually neared the Music hall.

The fight was made where the Peristyle and Music hall come together. End of the Great Quadriga.

The sight was most stupendous, glowingly magnificent when the arch of the Peristyle was reached. Flames enveloped it with a Burge, and the great quadriga, typifying "The Triumph of Columbus," horses, charlots, figures and al-, were wrapt in a fiery mantle—and the grandest group of statuary at the world's fair crumbled, fell away Into blookened ,dust Along the Peristyle on the lake froat there were statues. 'tThe Indian" died stoical, and all the other mammoth figures, one after the other, were destroyed.

Huslo HaU In Ashes.

The flames crept along unchecked, at-' tacking the handsome Music hall at the north end of the now ruined Peristyle. The fire was burning over the platform of the auditorium before the firemen knew it. It had crept under the cornice and under the roof to burst into flame in the Music hall proper. The firemen on the platform behind the building were ordered to the front, those who had been cutting through the Bheathtng

whlch oovei ed the supporting piles pf the Peristyle were called in and the entire force was massed upon the west find north sides of the Music hall and

the roof and east wall of the Manufactures building. All efforts, however, wtjre unavailing/ Soon the building was amass of ruins.

Attacked the Manufactures. The flames leaped across the broad avenue between Music hall and the Manufactures and Liberal Arts edifice, and at 8:45—three and a quarter hours after the start of the fire—the enormous building blazed up, the first flames showing themselves away up ou the roof underneath the roof walk on the east or lake front and up near the ccnter of the building, 700 or 600 feet from the seething fire that was destroying Music hall. So soon as this Jet of flame was discovered firemen rushed to the rescue, bringing up hose by the long flight of outside stairs at the southwest corner of the building. And here they were startled and confronted by the sight of a tiny Same away up on the roof on the west side and well toward the middle of the building.

Some sparks had escaped the vigilance of the patrols on the promenade. They had crept beneath the boards, and, fanned by .the wind, had developed into flame. They burst out almost simultaneously at four different points—three on the east and one on the west side. They were 250 feet from the ground, and the stand pipes which had been put in for just such an emergency were disconnected from the water pipes last month and the hose carried away. Several efforts were made to lift hose to the roof but the hose burst under the great pressure.

Fire Engines In the Building. The firemen were instructed to save the exhibits within the building, for it was ascertained that showers of sparks were falling from the roof and imperiling the mass of exhibits packed and awaiting shipment.

There were no less than 15,000 cases, many as large as a freight car, thus imperiled. Four engines were driven into the building, and half a dosen streams from stationary hydrants as well were thrown upon the embers as they fell and scattered over the floor and among the exhibits.

The fire was well fought In the Manufactures building, where such valuable property and so much of it was endangered. The pavilions, the Russian. Austrian and French, around which the greatest danger lay, were for a time thought to be wholly destroyed with all their contents. The pavilions, the French -and Russian, several blocks In extent, were wtolly destroyed. Upon the fast burning timber a dozen streams of water were played, and the exhibits were destroyed. The pavilions could not be saved, but well directed streams saved the cases of goods from destruction by fire, though the water damage will be great for the boxes could not be made leakless to the inundation to which they were subjected.

Fire Out at 8 A. M.

At 1:80 o'clock this morning the firemen on the roof had'stfcceeded in cutting a hole over the Tiffany exhibit A rope was lowered and a lead of hose was hauled to the promenade. Then a triple-siamese wu made and three engines were coupled on and sent a column of water to the waiting men on the roof. With this stream where it was needed the fire was soon placed under oofltrol. Firemen went ahead of the fire aud ripped up the planks, sanding the boards down in rapid succession to the ground. The fire still clung to the ventilators, but some vigprous ax work and the stream of water quenched It At 8 o'clock the fire was out, after burning eight and one-half hours.

Tli« KlUed and Injur*di

The killed and Injured at the fire are: William Mackey, 846 Forty-eighth street, pipeman engine company No. 61. "Fell from ladder on-Peristyle Internally Injured and died at Meroy hospital.

The Injured: Cant. Frederick Get*, truck company No. 16 fell from roof of Manufactures building: left leg broken, chest badly Injured and Internally hurt removed to emergency hospital.

Eugeno Durand, watchman In the Frenoh section of the Manufactures building struck on head by plank badly out and bruised taken to emergency hospital.

Capt. Charles Tobey, engine oompany No 61: toll from east gallery to fioor: burned 'about body and legs removed to emergency hospital.

Charged to Tramps.

Columbian Guard 0. H. Mason was on duty the Music hall Monday evening. He saw three tramps loafing about the Casino building, The guard went over to the strangers and upon questioning them found1 they had no business in the building. He ordered them out The men became surly and refused to go. Mason remained firm and finally the tramps left and started west toward the Agricultural building. Guard'Mason watched them until he got some distance from the Casino building. He returned to his post in the Music hall. Shortly afterward Mason discovered smoke coming out from, the Casino. He feels positive that the fire which proved so disastrous was started by these men.

Some of the Loiiwa.

The exposition company did not lose a cent on the Casino, Peristyle and Music hall. The Casino was built by the Columbian Casino oompany, which had secured a restaurant-concession, and the Peristyle and Muslo hall had been transferred to the South park commissioners. The insurance on the buildings was allowed to expire and there wilVbe salvage. But for the fact that the Court of Honor Is blemished by the blackened walls tho fire did the commissioners a service, for It saved wrecking labor.

Noted Exhibits Destroyed.

The French exhibit, which was located just south of the center of Man ufactures building, was the first to succumb to the flames. This exhibit was originally 7alued at 11,500,000, but the larger portion of it is said to have been moved out Among the losses enumerated are the bronze statue of war, the imitation jewelry display, Gobelin tapestries, Beurdelois' exhibit of mosaic and inlaid furniture, the Dore brfmze vase, Bon Marohe dress exhibit and library of French books

From the time that the fire spread toward Music hall and threatened the

Manufactures building a scene of the wildest confusion prevailed among-the commissioners responsible for the safety of the exhibits

Midwinter Fair Exhibits Lost. Among other losses in the Manufactures building there were 1,000 cases destined for the midwinter fair at San Francisco. These cases had been collected from all parts of the grounds, from every foreign exhibit at the fair, and had been stored in the Manufactures building to be re warehoused by customs officials and be shipped in customs custody to California.

WON'T ADOPT REED'S PLANS.

Speaker Crisp RafMea to Count Non-Vot-ing Members to Secure a Quorum. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Quite a number of democrats have urged Speaker Crisp to count a quorum and thus get the house out of its present tangle. To all such suggestions the speaker turned a dtaf ear, as he was one of the men in the Fifty-first congress who made a fight *bn Reed for counting a quorum.

The sergeants-at-arms sent out to arrest absentee congressmen returned, bringing a number of victims with them. Many came voluntarily and were the subject of good-natured chaffing from their colleagues, who asked them about the "lookstep," "prison diet," etc. Sergeant-at-Arms Snow heard from 800 of the 21S and expected that number present when the house met Fifteen members were actually arrested. The others replied that they would return to Washington at once.

The roll call revealed the presence of a quorum, 179 members having answered to their names. The demand for the previous question was carried by 189 yeas, ten more than a quorum. Thirty minutes' debate was then allowed under the rules.

The house having adopted the rule reported by Mr. Catchings fixing January 25 for a vote on the Wilson bill, the tariff debate was at once opehed. Mr. Wilson (dem., Va.) addressed the house in support of the measure.

Mr. Wilson, who Is In poor health, after speaking one hour and a half suggested to his colleague, Mr. McMUlin (dem., Tenn.), that he would like to finish his speech Wednesday, and upon the latter's motion the committee rose. The democrats and galleries applauded vigorously when Mr. Wilson took his seat

The night session was devoted to set speeches. Mr. Lane (dem., 111.) supported the Wilson bill, as did Mr. Bell (dem., Tex.). Mr. Morse (rep., Mass.) and Mr. Bowers (rep., Cal.) opposed the bill. At the conclusion of the latter's speech, at 10:25, the house adjourned.

MURDERED BY ROBBERS.

Henry Saner and HI* Wife Slain and Set on rire—A Son Is Missing. MABIKTTA, O., Jan. 9.---Henry Saner and his wife were found murdered Monday night at their farm 8 miles from this city. He was a wealthy farmer, his family consisting of himself, wife and on^ son. The latter Is missing. The wife has five bullet holes in the face and Saner's head is crushed by blows on the back. Outside of the house are pools of blood. The stock of Saner's guta was found near him in the kitchen with the barrel bent out of shape. The clothes were partially burned off and the faces of both more or less burned. The barn is burned with its contents, being full of hay. Three horses and four or five cattle perished. The evident purpose was to burn the house, as the victims were saturated with oil. but neighbors came in time to save the house, it is the theory that the son was burned in the barn. In making a search about the house three pocketbooks were found contaluing 1826. These were all together, as if dropped in the haste of the moment Bureau drawers showed that bloody hands had been about them. Two colored men were seen Monday In the village of Henchville, half a mile away. They asked for razors. Saner was about 00 years old, a soldier and a good citizen. The orli»e is surrounded so far by mystery.

DEFINITE NEWS FROM HONOLULU.

Iwt of the Amerleau Mlnt*t«r*« 4ddr**t In Which He Freienti the Wlnhei of President Cleveland for

Restoration.

ALL QUIET IS HAWAII.

HONOLULU, Jan. 1, (via Victoria, B. CX, Jan. 8.)—Since the sailing of the United States revenue cutter Cor win at 3 a. m. on the morning of Deoember 24 no adviccs have left here for the coast That vessel took press dispatches against the orders of the United States legation, but It is doubtful If all of them are landed, as it is understood a strict watch will be placed on the vessel as soon as she arrives near the harbor, and that she will likely be ordered at once on a cruise.

Application was made by the Associated Press and the special correspondent of the New York World for permission to forward dispatches by the Corwin. This was1 in each case brusquely refused, and dispatches wero only put aboard-afterward through the courtesy of those who shall forever be nameless, even though the United States should endeavor to Investigate the matter.

Demabd or Minister Willis. The Corwin took an official copy of the demand of Minister Willis upon the provisional government to step down and out, which was couohed in the following words: "FOBBIOH Omci HONOLULU, Dec. 18, 1893. —Present, President Sanford B. Dole, Hon. M. Damon, mlnlBter of finance: Hon. J. A. King, minister of the Interior Hon. W. O. Smith, attorney general Hon. Albert S. Willis, envoy extraordinary and mlulster plenipotentiary, United States of America. "Mr. Willis said: Mr. President and gentlemen: The president of the United States has very much regretted the delay in the consideration of the Hawaiian question, but it is unavoidable. So much of it as has ooeurrdU since my arrival has been due to oertaln conditions precedent, compllanoe with which was required before 1 was authorixed to confer with you. The president also regrets, as most assuredly do I, that any secrecy should have surrounded the Interchange of views between our two governments. I may say this, however, that the secrecy thus far observed has been In the Interest and for the safety of all your people, I need hardly promise that ths president's action upon the Hawaiian question has been under the dictates of honor and of duty It Is now and has been from the beginning .absolutely free from prejudice and resentment and entirely consistent with long-established friendship and treaty ties, which have so closely bound together our respective government*.

Refers to Mr. Blount's Mission. "The president deemed It his duty to withdraw from the senate the treaty of annexation, which had been signed by tho seoretary of state and agents of your government, and to dispatch a trusty representative to Hawaii to Impartially investigate the oauses of your revolution and to ascertain and report the true situation In these Islands. This Information was needed the better to enable the president to discharge a delicate aud important duty. Upon the facts embodied In Mr. Blount's report the president has arrived at oertaln conclusions and determined upon a oertain course of aotion which it becomes my duty to acquaint you herewith.

Not the Act of the Hawaiian People. "Tho provisional government was not established by the Hawaiian people, nor with their consent or acqujescenoe, nor has it since existed with their consent. "The queen refused to surrender her powers to the provisional government until oonvlnced that the minister of the United States had recognized It as the de facto authority and would support and defend It with the military foroe of the United States, and that resistance wonld precipitate a bloody confllot with that force. "She was advised and assured' by her ministers and the leaders of the movement for the overthrow of her government that If she surrendered protest her case would afterward be fairly considered by the president of the United States. yielded to United States Forces. "The queen finally yielded to the armed forces of the United States, then quartered In Honolulu, relying on the good faith and honor of the president, when informed of what had occurred, to undo the aotion of the minister and reinstate her lu the authority which she claims as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

3

"After a patient examination of Mr. Blount's reports, the president Is satisfied that the movement against the queen, If not Instigated, was enoouraged and supported by the representatives of this government at Honolulu. That they promised In advance to aid her enemies in an effort to overthrow the Hawaiian government and set up by foroe a new government in Its place, and that they kept this promise by eausing a detachment of troops to be landed from the Boston on January 16, 1W3, and by recognising the provisional government the next day when it was too feebls to defend Itself and the constitutional government was about to be successfully maintained against any threatening force other than that of the United States, already landed. "The president has, therefore, determined that he wtll not send back to the senate for Its aotion thereon the treaty whloh he withdrew from that body forfurthor consideration on the (th day of Maroh last. In view of these conclusions I was Instructed by lie president ol the United States to take advantage of an early opportunity to Inform the queen of this deter mi nation and of his views as to the responslbll. Ity of our government.

Queen Must Grant Amnesty. "The president, however, felt that we, by our original interference, had incurred a responsibility to the whole Hawaiian community and that It would not be just to put one party at the mercy of the other. 1 was, therefore, Instructed at the same time to Inform her that the president expected that she would pursue a magnanimous oourse by granting full amnesty to all who participated In the movement against ber. lnoludlqg persons who are, or who have been, officially or otherwise conneoted with the provisional government, depriving them of no rtght or privilege which they enjoyed before the revolution of last January, and that all obligations crested bv the provisional government In the course of administration Should be assumed.
