Drstrfcettre Fire at Chicago Which Might Have Keen Much Worse Narrow Escapes Lou Over 81,000,000. Chicago, April 13. Chicago last evening- suffered one of the most destructive conflagrations that has occurred here since the big fire of 1871. The loss was fully Sl.000,000. It was at almost the exact geographical center of the city that the flames started, and, like the disaster twenty fears ago, it began in a stable, which was in the rear of John M.

Smythe's house furnishingcstablishmenton West Madison street, near Halstead street. The flames speedily communicated to the Smythe furniture establishment, and a moment later to Kohl fc. Middleton's dime museum. When in a marvclously short interval both structures had turned into a mass of flame, great fiery tongues darted across the street and lodged in the upper stories of the buildings on the north side of Madison street. A moment later the firemen along the thoroughfare found themselves working between two towering walls of fire.

All this time the firemen stood in the street between the flames and after a fierce battle at length brought the fire in a measure under control. The immense blaze, however, continued to rage ith intense fury in the buildings already partly destroyed. The museum was nothing but a heap of ruins and the walls of the Smythe building were fall ing one after another. Fortunately they fell into the ruins and no person was injured. The first intimation the inmates of Kohl Middleton's museum had of the close proximity of the fire was when some one opened a window on the third floor through which a volume of smoke poured, filling the entire floor.

A wild panic followed among the 400 people in the building, most of whom, however, were on the first floor watching a variety performance. Those on the first floor were apprised of their danger by the stampede of the upper floors, and as they arose to their feet and fled precipitately toward the front door the fire appeared at the rear windows, increasing the terror. When the flames leaped across the street, setting fire to the front entrance of the Haymarkct hotel, forty of the occupants, including the servant girls and other employes made a simultaneous effort to depart by the back stairway, a narrow, winding affair. It became blocked, resulting in all being pretty badly bruised and frightened before effecting a release. Charles Messenger, a traveling salesman, was asleep in his room and was suffocated, with the left side of his face badly burned, when he was found and carried out.

Gcttman, the proprietor of the hotel, said that fully sixty guests had lost all their belongings. The fire in tho Haymarkct theater was discovered just tw enty minutes lie-foro the close of the last act The smoke was barely perceptible when the manager stepped out on the stage and endeavored to persuade the audience to file out in order. At this moment some one in the audience shouted "Fire!" and a panic seemed imminent The excitement was partially subdued by prompt work on the part of the ushers, and the theater was cleared in fairly good'or-der. Barry Fay's company had just begun a week's engagement Their scenery and effects were removed without damage. While the fire was at its worst a sidewalk at the corner of Union avenue and Meridian court collapsed, and precipitated forty people into an excavation.

Miss Bessie Higgins was probably fatally injured by the falk Bernard Sloth had a leg broken. UNDER FALLING WALLS. Mishap to Firemen Itr the Burning of the Faxton Hotel, Omaha, Neb. Omaha, April 13. In a fire in the Paxton hotel last night one fire man was killed and three injured.

The men were caught under a falling walk The names of the victims are: Capt Carter, ribs crushed and internally hurt; Martin Mulvihill, pipeman, legs broken, skull crushed and back injured, will die; Peter McGuire, legs broken and cut about the head; Thomas Downs, cnt about the head and badly bruised on the body. When the flames were subdued the damage had reached A panic prevailed among the guests for awhile but all got off without serious accident or loss. Mulvihill, the fireman who was fatally injured, had just lecn married. A singular fatality lies in the fact that thirteen years ago four members of the same hose company were killed almost on the same spot when the Grand Central hotel was burned.

Denver, Cok, April 1L The switchmen in the Burlington yards struck at 1:30 o'clock this morning. At that hour a meeting of the switchmen which had been in session all night, ordered the men out The ground for the strike was that the position taken by the Burlington at Lincoln and Omaha was unfair. The order to strike was not decided upon without long and earnest discussion. The strikers number about fifty men and include both passenger and freight switchmen. Not a wheel is moving this morning.

The Burlington officials say they can get plenty of men to fill the vacant positions. Survivor or Shipwreck. New York, April 13.

G. Dun Co.s Weekly Review of Trade says: It cannot be said that the business of the country is expanding when there is decrease of nearly one-sixth within a single month in the output of pig iron. In nearly all quarters tho admitted, slackening of trade is attributed to, many temporary causes, but the state of the iron trade cannot be thus explained and while it may at any time change for the better, it is at present an unfavorable symptom. At Detroit charcoal iron is offered at S18, the lowest price ever known. It is a hopeful feature, on the other hand, that stocks unsold have decreased during the month more than one-quarter, both on anthracite and coke iron at furnace reporting.

But the trade is very dull and some Southern furnaces weakening as to price and the market for manufactured forms of iron and steel show an improvement It is said that the orders for rails placed this year do not read) 400,000 tons. Reports from the various centers of trade are about the same as last week. but recognize temporary slackening even more generally, while it is attributed mainly to bad weather and the state of country roads. Pittsburgh reports lower prices for iron products, but glass sustained with improving trade. At Cleveland general trade is, fairly active, and lumber especially, and at Cincinnati machinery is very brisk, but other trade only fair.

At Chicago wheat, dressed meat and wool show considerable increase over last year, the clothing and shoe trade still showing gains. Business at Detroit is dull, at Milwaukee and Kansas City only fair and at St Louis not very strong, but at St Paul spring trade has been very satisfactory and at Omaha and Denver fair. At New Orleans trade is quiet at Memphis cautious, but at Savannah the prospect is bright and there is improvement at Jacksonville. The money market here is quite undisturbed, though at all eastern markets there is more than usual disposition to loan on call rather than on time, and at Boston there is considerable stringency. Philadelphia and Pitts burgh are easy, but at Cleveland there Is.

some pressure. Cincinnati is a littlo close, and at Chicago there is a good demand at six percent At other western points generally the money markets are comparatively easy and at the south not materially changed. Collections are not, as a rule, quite satisfactory, owing to bad weather and bad country roads. But the treasury has again put out about $3,000,000 in a week more than it has taken in and no signs ap pear of heavy gold exports as yet ALL QUIET AT PRESENT. Nothing Known of an Alarming Nature Concerning the Itelations With Italy.

Wasihnoton, April 13. There are no developments in the Italian affair and the reviving interest taken in it on account of the alleged intention on tho part of the Italian government to sigt nally display its resentment by ccasin; to have any further diplomatic inter course with the United States unles. this government should promptly ret spond to the communication of Premiej Rudini, has lapsed into a disposition quietly await what the next two three days may bring forth. There ar very few persons who believe that any thing startling will occur between now and Wednesday and high officials am certainly incredulous. Should such an unusual and extraordinary movement be made, it is said that it would probably not result iD actual war but only in an almost complete severance of all relations between the two countries.

It is regarded, however, as almost certain that it woule result in a feeling of indignation in which wonld seriously prejudice the prospects of favorable action on the Italian suggestions for reparation and indemnity. There was nothing to be learned in respect to the looked-for answer of See rotary Blaine to the note sent by th Marquis Imperiali.ahd Secretary Blain had no information to communicate t( the public on the subject of the Italian incident MORE DIPLOMACY NEEDED. Th (ieruian Chancellor Treats the French Minister so Coldly That lie May Be Re- enlled. Paris, April 13. M.

Herbette, tho French ambassador to Germany, has sent to M. Ribot, French minister of foreign affairs, a dispatch in which he says that Chancellor Von Caprivi treats him with formal politeness, while the German emperor, who was formerly invariably affable in his manner, now speaks curtly and has shown positivo ill humor toward Frenchmen introduced at receptions. The news causes increased anxiety in, government circle here. Hitherto M. Herbctte's own reports, as well as other official information from Berlin, have shown that M.

Herbette was persons grata with Emperor William and the German foreign office officials. If the French government ascertains that the kaiser's altered attitude toward M. Herbette arises from dissatisfaction over the treatment received by the Empress Frederick in Paris his early recall is certain. So far as is known in official circles the kaiser exonerated M. Herbette from all blame in the matter, while M.

Ribot considered the conduct of the ambassador in relation to the Paris incident to have been absolutely correct Emphatically Denied. Philadelphia, April 13 With an emphasis that did not permit of any misunderstanding, C. A. of the big sugar refinery last night placed the seal of denial upon the latest story relative to a restriction of the output of sugar from the local establishment "You may say," he remarked with calm deliberation and de cisiveness, "that the report is absolute ly without foundation. I do not know why it is so frequently revived.

In the face of all we can say the newspapers keep on bringing it up again and again. The Sprcckels refinery will continue to be operated at its fullest capacity." Killed the Officer. Little Bock, April 12. A ter rible tragedy was enacted last night near Pinnacle Springs. M.

It seems to me that the atmosphere which pervades this place is ill suited to selfish and ignoble designs; 'and I feci at this moment that I am surrounded by influences which invite patriotic partisanship and disinterested devotion to party principles.

The fierernraent Bulletin Show a. Very Satisfactory Condition of the Crop. Washington, April 11. In its monthly crop report the department of agriculture says: On portions of the Atlantic and gulf coasts the time of seeding was somewhat prolonged by occasional rains, bnt the delay was not serious and the desired area was planted and in good growth by the advent of winter. Suitable weather and soil conditions enabled farmers of tho Ohio valley states to put in a full breadth under entirely favorable circumstances and proper combinations of sunshine and moisture, which continued until cold weather sent the plant into winter quarters with sturdy growth and good color.

In portions of Kansas and Nebraska the prolonged drought of last summer extended into the period of seeding, interfering somewhat and rendering germination slow, but seasonable weather during the late fall and early winter was sufficient to offset the disadvantage of a late start. The entire season was favorable in California, while in Oregon a dry seed bed received moisture in time to secure good though late growth. The weather was generally mild over the whole area and while the snow fall was comparatively light it came when most needed, protecting the plant during the coldest weather. The Ohio valley and trans-mississippi states were especially favored, growth in many sections continuing throughout the winter with sufficient covering when needed and an entire absence of damage from freezing and heaving. Brown and bare spots arc seldom met with, growth and color being remarkably uniform.

The general average for condition is the highest reported for April since 18S2 and the individual state averages arc remarkable for their uniformity. It is 1G points higher than last year and above the returns for 18t9. A high April condition does not insure a large yield but it indicates a strength and vitality which would enable the plant to withstand more than the ordinary vicis-itndesof the season. The nearest approach to the present condition during recent years was in 1884, when the largest crop ever grown was harvested, but a similar high condition in 1SS0 was followed by a crop of little more than average proportions. The averages of condition in the principal states are: New York, 92; Pennsylvania, 97; Tennessee, OS; Kentucky, 97; Ohio, 9S; Michigan, 93; Indiana, 99; Illinois, 97; Missouri, 90; Kausaj, 99; California, 99, and Ogdcn, 97.

BOILING AGAIN. Italy's Klne "Hopping Mad" at the Comments anil Cartoon of American NewspapersThe State Department Silent. London, April 11.

whole Italian legation in Washington recalled and the Italian interests left in charge of the British minister. Advices from Italy represent the Rudini cabinet as deeply hurt by American comment on the Italian difficulty, and that there is consequently a revulsion of feeling In favor of aggressive measures. It Is said King Humbert has received from the editor of an Italian newspaper in America a pack-ago of American newspapers containing pictures ridiculing his majesty and belittling the power and dignity of Italy. One picture in particular, representing the king as a monkey, gavo great offense. Italian blood Is again boiling and something startling ls anticipated within a few days.

not ckewted nv mb. blaine. Washisoton, April 11. Secretary Blaine was shown the Rome and London cable dispatches by a representative of the United press reporting a revulsion of feeling in Italy in favor of aggressive measures toward the United States and a determination on the part of the Italian government to order Minister Porter to leave Italy and tore-call the remnant of the Italian legation now at Washington. Tho secretary read the dispatches carefully and simply remarked: "Not a word relating to all these reports has reached the department No credit is given to the rumors.

They seem to be sensationaL" Beyond this he would have nothing to say about the Italian imbroglio. It is known here that Secretary Blaine has prepared an answer to the message of iTcmier Rudini. The fact of tho preparation of Secretary Blaine's reply is not only well understood but it 13 stated moreover that the secretary's letter was submitted to the president ami his cabinet and was found to be satisfactory. In view of these circumstances it is asserted with considerable confidence that the letter of Secretnry Blaine has already been sent to Marquis Rudini, though whether it was communicated by mail or telegraph is not known. the former method were adopted the Italian premier, it is believed, waa apprised of the fact The Czar' Escape.
