A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TORONTO.
TORONTO, Aug. 3.-The fire last
night was the most destructive that
has ever occurred here. An hour
after it broke out in an eight story
glucose factory, the flames had ex-
tended for half mile along the
south side of the Esplanade, and the
scores of vessels OF all kinds moored
along the docks were all destroyed.
Henry Ward, private watchman, is
known 10 have perished in the flames.
The most exciting scenes were on the
crafts at the docks, and as the vessels
caught ire, the crews being cut off by
the fire on tie docks, the men were
forced to jump into the water and
swim for their lives.
So rapidly did the fire spread that
the small boats were consumed before
they could be landed, and the sailors
had to depend upon their
own strength until the tugs
from the outside could pick them
up Many were badly scorched and
it is feared some fatally. The extent
of the loss and insurance cannot be
given.
Estimates place the loss at over
a million of dollars. The glucose
works is valued at $3.50. 900, and the
schooner Annie Milroy is valued at
$780, 600. She burned TO the waters
edge. Among the other buildings
burned were number of boat houses
and warehouses. Several coal docks
were also destroyed together with the
wharves along the river bank. A feet
of ferry steamers, four ia number at
the foot of Church street were nearly
all destroyed.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF THE FIRE.
TORONTO, Aug. 3.-Shortly after
midnight this morning fire was dis
covered in the Toronto Sugar Rein
ery's works, on the Esplanade, at the
foot of Sherbourn street, and in less
than half an hour the place was com
pleteiy consumed, nothing but the
bare walls and smoke-stack being
left. The heat was intense, and a
strong wind scattered sparks and
brands along the whole city front.
The fire spread westward, despite the
efforts of the entire fire department.
Four elevators filled with grain, sev>
eral boiler works, boat houses, lumber
offices and sheds we're swept away in
less than an hour, the burned district
extending over third of mile along
the river front.
Three schooners, which were moored
to the docks, were burned to the wa
ter's edge. VIM. McCollum, a sea-
man on the schooner Annie Mulvey,
was dangerously burned about the
head The fire was not under control
until nearly o'clock this msrning.
The sugar refinery, where the fire
originated, was erected some five years
ago as a glucose factory, and cost
$50, ,0OO The machery is very valua>
BILE. The factory only began running
as sugar refinery short time ago.

Cattlemen and Their interests.
ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH LAMAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Delegations
representing the cattlemen holding
leases in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country called upon the secretary of
the interior this afternoon and stated
that compliance with the terms of
the presidents proclamation ordering
a summary removal of cattle from the
reservations would be ruinous to their
interests. The quarantine regulations
of Kansas and Colorado against Texas
cattle directly affected one quarter of
their entire possessions and inasmuch
as Texas c,stle had, despite all pre-"
cautions run with others, the regu-
lations might operate against the
whole. Thus there was no place to
which these cattle could be driven ex-
cept southwark into Texas, and Texas
was already stocked to its utmost ca
pacity.
The quarantine regulations of Kan
sas and Colorado would permit a
movement of the cattle after the first
of December, but the grass would then
be unfit for pasturage, and the cattle
would starve. The delegation de-
clared their willingness, and even
their desire to remove their cattle as
soon as it can be done without risk of
serious disaster. II the time could be
extended until next April for begins
ming the movement, giving them un>
til the first Of July to complete it, they
would be able to remove all their
stock, amounting to $50, 600 head.
They represented briefly that many
other interests in sll parts of the
country were related intimately to
the cattle interests and were liable to
be affected by any sweeping disaster
which should fall upon the cattle
men: They set forth that they
believed they were engaged in leglt
innate business enterprises when they
invested their money and feel that
they were entitled to such considera>
ton as would be accorded to other
business interests.
They discussed their relations with
the Indians which they asserted were
friendly, and it was greata surprise to
them to learn that they were supposed
to be the authors of theIndian troubles.
There were renegade Indian mer
who had never been upon the reserva-
tian who were responsible for some
difficulties, but these were very

with a majority of the cattlemen we're
Oh the best of terms. Secretary Lamar
listened attentively and ans wered the
questions from time to time, but in
view of the fact the delegation is to
have an interview with the president
to morrow he expressed no opinion.
