SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION,

An Explosion in a Starch Factory Results
In the Loss of Several Lives.
CHICAGO, March ga disastrous ex-
plosion occurred this evening in the Chi
cago Sugar Refinery Co.'s plant, corner
of Taylor and Beech streets. The explo-
sion resulted in the loss of at least three
lives and the wounding of sixteen others.
The explosion occurred IN the starch
drying room. Spontaneous combustion
is supposed to have been the cause.
About a year ago a similar explosion &C.
CURED in the same building, resulting in
the fatal injury of one man, but no fire.
The building in which the explosion took
place is a two-story brick structure, sepa-
rated from the tall main building. Twen-
ty-seven men we're at work in the starch
room when came a clash, followed by
flashes of fire and the rumbling of falling
timber. The shattered portions of the
building we're hurled in every direction,
and the workmen in an instant found
themselves beneath a mass of debris,
which was soon ablaze. When they
heard the report of the explosion and
saw the glare of the flames, they we're
panic stricken. Loss on building, stock
and machinery, about $4,000.

their wires in the southwest are seriously
damaged by the storm, though commune
cation has been effected to all points

The Effect of the Pan-American Congress.

The Effect of the Pan-American Congress.
New YORK, March 27.-A Washington
special to the Post says: "The possibility
of getting great benefit from the Pan
American congress has come to a focus.
The intimation was received a few days
ago by Chas. Flint, the representative of
this country from New York, from the
representatives of the South American
countries, that their countries might be
willing to give a complete reciprocity in
everything, provided this country would
do the same. Mr.. Flint was in c%onsulta-
ton with Secretary Blaine upon the mat
ter, and upon the expression of his
(Flint's) desire that Mr.. T. Jefferson
Coolidge of Massachusetts might be
joined with him in the negotiations,
those two representatives of the United
States in congress were made a sub-com-
mittee to conduct the negotiations, and
to put the matter in shape for further
representation to congress. The whole
situation was talked over with Blaine,
and the outcome of it was that
the representatives of this country
were authorized, in the name of the Sec
rotary of state and with his approval of
the scheme, to make a proposition of alb
solute reciprocity to the representatives
of the South American countries" The
reciprocity proposed is without excep-
ton, and the adoption of the plan would
bring about absolute free trade in every
article of commerce between the United
States and the South American coun-
tries. There is also involved in the plan,
as an essential part Of it, the ado ption of
articles of agreement for arbitration in
cases of international dispute. This
agreement would apply to South Ameri-
can countries in their relations with each
other, as we'll as in their relations with
the United States.

Storm in

KANSAS Cry, March ga storm of
severe intensity has prevailed throughout
Kansas and southwestern Missouri to-
day. It follows a season of warm spring
weather and for that reason seemed all
the more severe. Snow is reported from
some portions of western Kansas, but the
fall has not been heavy and no inconven-
fence to winter wheat has thus far &C.
CURED by reason of it. The most notable
features of the storm have been the low
barometer and high winds, the barometer
varying in different localities from Is at
Wichita to % below at this %point-the
lowest reported for years. The velocity
of the wind was extraordinary for such a
long continued storm. At Wichita, Kas.,
the wind blew at the rate of forty miles
an hour and did considerable damage.
DEATH IN THE WIND.
ST. LOUIS, March 27.-Late advices
from Olney, Ills, give the details OF the
damage done by the storm. The loss on
buildings, fences, etc., will foot up fully
$25,0M. A large number of buildings
we're wrecked and many had narrow es-
oapes. The storm seemed to gather re-
newed strength when it struck the house
of Doll Harroll, which was completely
demolished. The family sought safety
in the cellar and escaped unhurt. The
adjoining residences of DR.. Marshall and
H. G. Noise were badly damaged. The
residence of MI. Mathes, near by, was
lifted from its foundations and crushed,
burying the family in the ruins. All es-
capped serious injury, save Mrs. Mathes,
who now lies in q critical condition.
Many other houses were considerably
damaged. A COW and calf were taken
up by the wind and carried over a quar-
ter Of a mile, being dropped in q field IN
injured. The dwelling of John Bourell
was blown completely away, not q vestige
of it remaining. The streets present q
sad appearance, being filled with debris.
Advioes from Jefferson City, Cape Gira-
deau and Charleston, Mo-, state that the
storm was very severe and at the latter
place one life was lost, q woman, name
notigiven. At Mascoula, Centreville and
Nashville, Ills, and especially at the lat
ter place, the storm did considerable
damage.

Temporary roofs are being put on wher-
ever possible and hundreds Of hogQsheads
