~ FEAS THEF AST OF LAMES ShE e Lo AN IOWA TOWN SUFFERS GREAT LOSS. Chicago Sees the Greatest Crowd in the History of Man—No Rift in the Xlusiness Clouds—Tremendous Explosion of Powder, Disastrous Fire at Parkersbhurg. la. FIRE started Monday morning in the | business portion of the town of Pur kersburg, lowa. The town has no fire protection and the fire was soon beyond control. Waterloo sent help, which rucceeded in getting the flames under control after twenty-six business houses were destroyed. The buildings that were destroyed were mostly frame structures, though there l were three or four brick blocks amonge | them. The lors is estimated at about £175,000, with insurance from $50,000 t§15,000. It isbelieved the fire was of incendiary origin, as several of the losers state that they were rvecently advised privately to increase their insurance. At Pueblo, C 010.,, the uncompleted Hotel Mesa burned Sunday morning. The hotel was six stories high, with a three-story cupola adjoining. The walls were completed and the roof in plac‘w last spring, but thae financial panic stopped the work. Boys playing In the cupola started the fire. Loss. £100,000; insurance, $20,000. Trade Not Improved. R. G. Dux & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade sums up the situation as fol- l‘ lows: 1t is difficult to detect any signs of improvement. While there have been some additions to the number of manufacturing establishments and the number of hands at work during the last week, it is becoming painfully clear that the orders obtalned o not suflice to keep employed at full time even the limited force at present engaged. ‘Lhere is on the whole less confidence regarding the future than there "\:u,\« a week ago. Thero is not such encouragement us might bedesived in the industrial reports for the week. Failures continue to decrease in number and importance, though not as much as has been hoped. The movement of wheat has been fairiy large and the price has declined abont 2 cents, while corn has also yielded about 1 cent. Coiton is a quarier higher without distinct reasons in crop prospects, and pork products are also somewhuat higher, pork beinz 75 conts per barrel. Tt |i~' possible that the surplus currency in i circulation huas its natural effect in stiimulating speculative activity. Happily the | chuanzes thas far bave not diminished the exports of produets, which continue fairly | large. | Countle.s Multitudes of Peuple. - THE culmination of all Chicago’s plans for her celebration, Monday, of the twenty-second anniversary of her great fire, was certainly graid enough to satisfy all who had hoped to surpass any kindred achievement The multitude which visited Juckson Park that day numbered 713,646. In addition hundreds of thousands were in the eity, unable It{o reach the park, as every avenue of travel was congested to the last degiee. The weather was perfect, and during the whele day the program was one long round of celebraticn. At night the gorgeousness of the celebration was dazzling, surprising even to those saber ot Istassussiliasdi-nlacs.

I')O you know how much moncy the Senate has wasted while “deliberating™ and chasing t_he stock board up and down the stairs of value? Do you know how much it ccsts to feed the Senate animals and clean out the Senate cages? There should be eightyeight Senators. There are only eightyfive—three shy. : Senators Come High. Well, it ccsts Uncle Sam £5.000 a year to have a Senator. In mgcst instances he isn't worth it, but he gets it just the same. That's $440,000. Now for doorkeepers, ftunkies, pages, rousta.lmuts. deckhands, and all that long list of tax-eaters that make up the train of greatness, Unc'e Sam pays just about $4140.000 more—about s}&‘\‘?(‘)’000 a year. It falls out, then. that the last two months of idleness have cost the country almost $150,000. Provy steep price to pay for such a ca-o c* typhus fever as the Senate. But it seems to be really on the brink of romething. The Senate as a disaster will take a new fcrm. For ten days Senators and all sorts of philosophers in statecraft have beBl(‘,(,:.'(‘d (:h‘\'('lflnd.

They told Cleveland that Le had better realize this, doff his hat to fate, limber up his artillery, o der his bugles to :blow the retreat, and leave the field. I'hey pointed out that Washington retreated through seven revelutionary vears and now owned a white marble monument 550 sky-piercing feet high. Senate and Hous™.

Some routine business was transacted before the House resumed the election debate. An interesting debute took place on the propriety of rccognizing war claims of a class of which a portion had been paid by the Confederate Government. A joint resolution was passed extending the thanks of the Congress and the people of the United states to the foreign governments who had generously and effectively participated in the Chicazo Exposition. When tlie fepate met Thursday morning the repeal bill was taken up. Mr. Call of Ilorida technically resumed the floor, and on motion of Mr. Voorhees the senate proceeded to the consideration of executive business. The senate remained in executive session until 5:15 p. m. a: d then adjourned until Friday. XNo businessof importance was transacted in the House.
