PFATH AT A FIRE.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 8.—One fireman was killed and six were Injured Thursday afternoon In a Are whloh destroyed the planlng-mill and lumber yards of E. 0. Richards & Co. and Hunton, MyleB «fc Weeks. The property loss will amount to 860,000. The plants 'were located at Franklin and River streets, adjoining the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee tracks. The blaze was discovered shortly after 8 o'clock. The water supply was so poor that the firemen were amperod. They succeeded In preventing the flames from spreading to adjoining factories, but several frieght oars, with their contents, were destroyed before they could be removed. The Qiohards planing mill was of brick, three stories high.

Fireman Hurt by Falling Walla. At 4 o'clock two squads of pipemen were playing streams at the southeast corner of the mill, when a portion of the wall gave way and a half dozen firemen were caught by the falling brick and the following were killed and injured:

Eugene McCarthy, unmarried, plpeman of No. IB oompany, body frightfully mangled, killed Instantly Honry Trapp, plpeman No. 6, severely Injured, body Crushed, head out, burned Qeorge W. Lyons, plpeman No. 8, hip broken, body bruised Lieut. Louis It TatfJ, No. ti, back Injured, leg crushed Thomas Schlebel, plpeman No. 19, log broken and burned Charles Boeberltz, plpeman No. 1®, body bruised.

The Losses.

The Richards planing mill was owned by A. Ilunton, of the firm of llunton, Myles & Weeks, and was leased to S. J. M. Gates, of Bay City, who also owned the lumber in that portion of the yard. The plant was operated by Richards & Co. for Gates. The property of Ilunton, Myles & Weeks which was consumed consisted of lumber and small buildings. Their loss is about820,000. The loss on the Richards mill and yards is estimated at 885,000. Qunton, Myles & Weeks are quite fully Insured. The Richards mill is insured for 818,500. Mr. Gates, owner of the lumber adjoining, is in Bay City and the amount of his insurance is not yet learned.

Fatal Hlaae In Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.—Two firemen were killed and five injured in a flre Thursday which destroyed the mill building at Randolph and Jefterson streets. The building was 800 feet long and four stories in height and was situated in the heart of the mill district. It was owned by David Cochran, who occupied the third and fourth floors for spinning cotton yarns. A part of the second floor was used by MoCloskey & O'Hara as a carpet oleanlng establishment. The flre is supposed to have originated from a spark struck by a nail in the picking machine on the second floor.

Floor Gave Way.

After the fire was put out seven firemen entered the third floor and turned their hose on a large quantity of cotton that was stored there. Without the slightest warning the floor gave way with a crash, precipitating the men to the first floor, where they were buried among the debris. Two of them were taken out dying, having been smothered by the bales of cotton. The killed are as follows: George Ceisler, of engine No. 81, and George Dicket, of truck C. They died on their way to the hospital. The five other firemen received less serious Injuries. The coroner will Investigate the condition of the floors and walls of the building. The weight of the cotton caused the weakened floor joists to give way, and it is said that the supports were so weak that the added weight of the water caused the accident. The loss on building and conten will aggregate 865,000, fully insured.

Flame. Roar Again.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—The lumber district was swept again Thursday night by a fire similar to the conflagration of Wednesday night. The conditions were exactly the same. The John Spry Lumber company, occupying 1,500 feet of frontage on Ashland avenue, north of the bridge, was fired by flying embers from Wednesday night's burned district and 8,000,000 feet of lumber, out of a total of 24,000,000 feet, were burned, causing a

IOBS

of 8150,000. The flre was not without accident, for the intense heat and the flying lumber made the fight exceedingly dangerous. Peter Fleming, a pipeman of Engine company No. 89, while riding on the engine across Ashland avenue bridge inhaled flames and hit. sltin was cooked by the terrible heat. The hair was burned oft the horses and they were rendered helpless. Fleming was carried to a patrol wagon and taken to his home at Twenty-fifth and Halsted streets.

Just how the fire originated is unknown. John C. Spry believes It arose from the wind blowing a glowing ember from the ruins of Wednesdaynight's fire in among his stock. The firemen were still engaged upon the smoking ruins and they say the wind lifted sparks from the ashes, carrying them into the river and toward the Spry yards.

Moved the Boat* from the Slips. In the river and slips adjacent to the Spry company's plant were a number of lumber-laden vessels, and these were threatened with destruction. The schooners Naiad, in charge of Capt. Roach the Mary B. Ayer, Capt. Williamson, and the Forest Taper, Capt. Peterson, were moored in slip A. They were towed into the river and out of danger as soon as tugs could be procured.

McBean & Farrel's cedar post yards, between Ashland avenue and the Arnold slip, were set in several plaoes, but the firemen kept excellent control of every blaze started, and the firm will not suffer a loss of more than $1,000. •Burned the Ashland Avenue Bridge.

The flames drove the bridge-tender on the Ashland avenue bridge from his post before he could open the draw. The flre flashed downward and caught on the north end of it. It spread over It to the middle and then the flames leaped to the upper work. The tug A. A. Carpenter oame up the river from the east. When It reached the bridge the oepta^n and crew called for some op# |o fifilQ &e.4r%TC. bat UP. oa would van.

Members of engine company 25 went out in a boat under the bridge with a lead of hose and put out the fire. The damage to the bridge will be about 8600.

Wednesday Night'# Loiun.

A revised list of the losses by Wednesday night's flre in the lumber district show a total of 81,478,600 insurance, 8781.900. The cause of the flre is still unknown. It is generally believed that a spark from a Chioago, Burlington Quincy engine, whloh was working in the vicinity of the place where the flre started, fell into the shavings and was fanned to a blaze by the wind.

Another Big Flre.

One Bad Accident.

Lieut. James Cunningham of Truck No. 6 was at the top of the first section of a 00-foot ladder. The ropes connecting the first to the Becond section of the ladder burned away and the lieutenant was thrown to the pavement. He struck the rounds of the ladder as he fell, and the force of his fall was so broken that he was not killed, though he was seriously injured.

Horses Burned.

Fire Thursday night destroyed the livery and cab stable of J. M. Hartman, No. 128 Thirteenth street, with its contents. In the stable were six horses, all of which were burned. The 'xjtal loss is about 87,000.

PULLMAN STARTS UP.

Work Resumed In the Plant of the Ca Compauy. CHICAGO, Aug. S.—For the first time since the strike ol May 11 work was resumed in the repair shops at Pullman on Thursday. Assistant Manager Parent, of the Pullman company, said that about 400 men had reported for duty by noon. He thought that perhaps 150 of them were new men and the rest former employes of the Pullman company. At the time of the strike, May 11, about 750 men were employed in the repair shops. The strikers watched the men going to work, but said nothing to them. They walked past the works in smail grouDS, but did not stop to block the streets or lay themselves open to polioe interference. With the 100 men who never joined the strike and strangers who were not employed In the works before May 11, the strikers say the force in the shops is not indicative of a general surrender.

The repair shops are but a small portion of the plant, but the work in them is the most pressing. In the construction department the contracts are not urgent and many of the orders can He considerable time before they are demanded by the railway companies. Since the works were closed May 11 a large amount of work in the line of repairing injured passenger coaches has accumulated, and the men will be kept busy for some time overcoming the effect of the long delay.

Deadly Battle -with the Japanese at Yaahan.

Countries.

WHIPPED THE JAP8.

LONDON, Aug. 8.—A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says that reports have been received there from foreign officials at Seoul that the Chinese, under Gen. Yes, on Sunday last defeated the Japanese forces near Asan. The Japanese withdrew to Seoul. Anoflloial Shanghai dispatch says that 2,000 Japanese were killed at Yashau. It is believed that this refers to the same battle. Twenty thousand Manchurlan Chinese troops have crossed the Corean frontier and are marching upon Seoul.

In consequence of the declaration of war u] Cnlna, proclaimed bj'Japan, the Chinese minister will leave Tokio at once. The Japanese flag has been hauled down from the consulate at Shanghai. The light has been removed from the mouth of the Ning Po river. It is rumored that eight Russian warships with troops aboard have left Vladivostock under sealed orders.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 8.—It is officially announced that Russia, desiring a settlement of the war between China and Japan, will act in complete accord with Great Britain in an effort to secure an Immediate solution of the difficulty. Falling this, Russia will not allow any power to take even partial possession of Corea.

YOKOHAMA, Aug. 8.—The Chinese minister at Tokio lius demanded his passports. The Chinese residents in Japan are being placed under the protection of the United States legation.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 8.—It is officially announced here that the Chinese northern fleet, consisting of thirteen vessels, has left Chee-1'oo for Corea. .fapan and China Mtop Inter«aourse.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—A telegram received at the .Japanese legation saj's that the Chinese government has notified Japan that the Japanese minister at Tokio and the consuls throughout Japan would be withdrawn on August 8. In consequence of this action the Japanese government has notified Its oharge d'affaires at Pekin and its consuls throughout China to withdraw.

Turned Over to the United States. At the request of the Chinese and Japanese governments, made through their representatives here, the state department has instructed United States Minister Dun at Tokio and Charles Denby, Jr., charge d'affaires at Pekin, to take under the protection of the United States the citizens of China in Japan and of Japan in China. This is a distinctively war measure, and, although it cannot be learned at the state department that it has been regularly notified of the existence of war between China and Japan, this movement on the part of Secretary Gresham indicates that he has been so advised and is proceeding upon that information.

This Is not the first time that the flag of the United States has afforded protection to foreigners in hostile countries, for during the Franco-Prus-sian war the United States minister at Paris took under his care the Germans resident in that city. The selection of the United States in this case by both parties is regarded as an evidence of their belief in the absolute impartiality of the United States.

Corea lias a N«w Klug.

LONDON, Aug1. 3.—The Times1 correspondent at Yokohama telegraphs that the Japanese minister at Seoul, after the collision there between the Japanese and Corean troops, placed Tai-ln-Kun, the king's father, at the head of the Corean government. The people of Yokohama are in raptures over their naval victory. Following the example of the sovereign they will contribute toward the expense of carrying on the war.

The Chronicle's correspondent at Tokio telegraphs that the Japanese fleet is concentrating its strength at Kanghwa, an island at the mouth of the Seoul river, and that a great naval flirht is expected shortly.

State Department ORtrUIly Informed. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—The state department was officially informed Thursday evening that war had been declared between China and Japan. The Information came In a dispatch from Charles Denby, the charge d'affaires at Pekin. Mr. Deiiby's dispatch does not say, however, which country made the declaration.

Senate Sugar Investigating Committee Re ports.

ACCUSED SENATORS HELD GUILTLESS.

The Report Says That No Evidence of Wrong Doing on Their Fart Was Presented—Methods of the

Trust. Denounced.

THEY ABE INNOCENT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Senator Gray, chairman, presented the report of the sugar investigating oommittee to the senate and asked that the committee be discharged. The main report is signed by all the members of the oommittee, 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 liaB the approval of the full committee, recites the causes which led up to the investigation and quotes the article from the Philadelphia Press on which the charge against senators was based. It also recites the facts which have already been published as to the refusal of the correspondent, Edwards, to answer questions put by the committee. Secretary Carlisle is exonerated, and the parts of the article reflecting on him are declared to be without foundation, "except that It is a fact, according to Secretary Carlisle's testimony, that he did, at the request of Senator Jones, of the 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. Edwards, says the report, in publishing specific aliarges against publio men without having personal knowledge of the facts calls for the serious reprobation of the senate.

Sugar Trust Exonerated.

The committee also says: "There has been no testimony presented be* tore your oommittee and your committe has been unable to disoover any tending to show that the sugar schedule was made up, aa It then stood In the proposed amendment to the tarld bill, In consideration of large or any sums ot money paid for oampalgn purposes of the democratic party. No witness has testified before your oommittee that such was the fact, and all the demooratlo members of the flnanoe committee and all the senators whose names have been mentioned in the publio press as especially Interested In pro* t-octlng the sugar refining Industries, or in whose states sugar refineries existed, have under oath denied that such was thf the truth, or that they had any knowledge of Information as to any sums of money, large or otherwise, having been paid for oampalgn purposes of the democratic party by the sugar trust, by those conneoted with It, or by anybody, as a consideration for favorable treatment of Its interests by said party."

Edwards* Testimony Unsupported. The committee also roports the substance of the testimony of the sugar refiners as saying thut the campaign contributions were made only to the loonl committees and not for the purpose of influencing national campaigns, or for the ptrpose of securing or defeating national legislation. No other testimony has, the committee says, been offered, suggested or discovered which would tend to support the statements of Edwards In this regard. Nor Is there, they unite lu Buying, any evidence In support of the statement thut either of the Messrs. Havomeyer had an Interview with President Cleveland on a yacht In the summer of 18M or of 1898 in regard to the sugar Interests of the Hawaiian islands or any other sugar interests, or the poltoy of tho administration In regurd to them. "On the oontrary, It hus been affirmatively shown," they say, "that the statement is untrue as to any such Interview having occurred."

No fivideuce of Improper Methods. It Is, the committee suys, shown by the evidence that one or more officers of the sugar trust were in Washington und thut they saw several senators, generally those representing states In which sugar refineries were located, with the view of influencing legislation, but these gentlemen deny the use of any Improper menns to that end. Both the members of the trust and of the flnanoe committee denied that any meeting took place between Llu'in at tho capltol or elsewhere, as was stated In tho "Holland" letter to have taken plpce, and there Is no evidence In support of the statements In this regurd.

The committee also unite In saying thut no evidence has boon adduced tending to show Improper conduot on the part of those engaged In the framing of the sugar schedule In the tariff bill. "Though perhaps outside the scope of the duty Imposed upon your oommittee," they say, "they take oooaslon to strongly depreoate the importunity and pressure to which congress and Its members are subjected by the representatives of great Industrial cbmhinationg, whose enormous wealth tends to suggest unduo Influence and to oreate In the publio mind a demoralizing belief in the existence of corrupt politics."

No Senators Speculate.

The committee reportB in the negative upon the question "whether any senator has been speculating in sugar stocks during the consideration of the tariff bill." As to the latter branch of the Inquiry, which brought out a photographic copy of an order to buy sugar stocks, dated March 8, and purporting to be signed by Senator Camden, the committee gives credence to the denial of Senator Camden and says that Battershall, whose testimony was expected to bear up the inference from the photographic copy, is a man of doubtful oharaoter. Senator Smith is also exonerated from blame.

Summing up, the committee says that "no charge or charges have been filed before them alleging that the action of any senator has been oorruptly 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.

Senators Davis and Lodge, republicans, submitted a supplemental report devoted entirely to the subject of the influence of tho sugar trust, so called, on the making of the sugsr sohedule as it now stands in the tariff bill. They say that "no evidence has been submitted to the committee whloh proves that the sugar schedule was made up in order to fulfill obligations to the sugar trust for campaign contributions." They say it is proved by some testimony that the present form of the sohedule was that desired by the representatives of the refineries or the sugar trust. They continue: „The sugar trust, by the evldenoe of its president and treasurer, baa contributed freely

to the state and city campaign funds of both parties, and their contributions huvo been made In years when national elections wero held. This is a thoroughly corrupt form of campaign contribution, for such contributions being glvon to two opposing parties are not tor tho purpose of promoting certain political principles. but to establish an obligation to iha giver on the part of whichever party comes Into power. The trust does not give to political parties for tho promotion or political principles In which he believes, but for the protection of its own Interests, ns uppeurs by the same testimony. The fact Unit li gives to both political parties Is sufficient proof ol the purpose of its contributions anil of their dungerous nature."

FUTURE OF THE STRIKE.

It Is Considered by A. R. U. Delc^'itcs— No Decision Hear lied. CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—The convention of the American Railway union met hero Thursday. Its sessions were held in secrecy. The question of the future of the strike was considered at both sessions Thursday, but no decision was reached. There was a feeling among the delegates that even though the men might return to work on all the other roads the strike would be eontin ued against the Santa Fe. This in for the reasons, It is said, that tlie receivers have been cutting wages, that the road is behind in salaries, and thut it has been especially active in the prosecution of the officersof the union.

It is the opinion of the leading delegates to the convention that at today's session the strike will be shorn of its national character and that whatever fight is made by the organization in the future will be on separate railway systems and under the management of system officers. Many of the delegate* think that more can be accomplished in this way than in any other, and by adopting this method the executive officers of the organization will be relieved of much of the responsibility and the men directly interested will be in a better position to gain information of what is being done. It is probable that some of the systems will return to work, while it is said to be nearly a certainty that the strike will be pushed to a final ending on others.
