BAD FIRE AT ARMOUR'S.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Oct pa fire
which threatened to destroy the mammoth
packing houses of Armour & Co. in this
city was discovered in the fertilizer build
ing at 5 o'clock this morning. The ferti-
lizing building was last of the.buildings to
the north and was separated from the re-
filming works by only a narrow alley. The
fire started in the south end of the build
ing and spread with amazing rapidity
amid the infiammable contents. The fire
men of Armour were quickly ON the
scene and were soon followed by the de-
partments from this city and Kansas City,
Mo. Their combined efforts to eXtinguish
the blaze were of no avail and in half
hour they gave up the fight and directed
their efforts towards saving the refining
buildings. In this they were more sue
cessful. In three quarters of an hour
east wall fell and soon after the entire
building was in ruins and the contents
wholly destroyed. The machine shop,
which was next to the fertilizer, was
damaged to the extent of $4,000. The
value of building and content was $l40,000
The insurance on the building is about
SIPS 600, of which S43 900 is on the machin-
cry department and $4,000 on the fer
tilizing building. The rest is on the stock
and machinery and other contents. Nine
hundred men were set to work removing
the debris which will all be cleared away
tomorrow. The work of rebuilding was
begun five hours after the fire was discov-
cred and while smoke was still rising
from the smouldering ruins. The new
building will be duplicate of the old one
No lives were lost.

under date of September 16. communicates
to the state department copy Of the i'm
of the Grand Trunk railway from Ham
kow to Pekin.
Ii Hung Chang will build the northern
half and Chi lung the southern half. Mr..
DENLY says: The Great Western
is one of the main roads for
officials going to and from the
capital. The railway will Immediately
command a large passenger traffic and
soon large freight traffic. 1t has the ad-
vantage also of doing away with the isola-
ton of th, capital, which, during three
months of the year, from the middle of
December to the middle of March, is now
cut off from communication with the
outer world This railway will pass
through three provinces Chilli, Honau
and Hupst. Possibly it may traverse
Hansi also. cit is expected no large loan
will be negotiated, bu that the road
will be built in sections, the money
being raised by degrees. Ii is about
taels at about per cent to build the first
section from a point five miles south of
Picking to Cheng Ting. The Yellow river
will have to be bridged, and this work will
afford European and American bridge
builders an opening for competition"
The issuing of this decree is believed to
be the beginning of a new era in China.
which will rebound to the benefit of both
natives and foreigners. Shanghai being
practically the water terminus of the line,
will be vastly benefited, and, under the
development of the roads prosperity,
seems likely to become one of the great

fourth $4,000, the fifth $500, the sixth
81, 900 and the seventh $500, offering prize
