The Home of the Chicago Athletic Club
Destroyed by Fire.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-The beautiful new home
Of the Chicago Athletic Association. on Michi-
gan avenue between Washington and Madison
streets. was destroyed by FIRE enriy this morn
ing. shortly after o'clock an officer saw
flames issuing from one of the windows on the
fourth story. Five minutes later the entire
interior of the handsome structure was mass
Of flames
The building when completed would have
been the finest athletic club house in the world
and probably the most magnificent clab build
ing q any character. The contemplated cost
was $500. OO0
The loss on the building is estimated at from
S75. 900 to Zoo 600.
Probably ~ heavy a loss az that upon the
club has been inflicted upon the Panorama of

discuss, but he shook. his head when $50 900

The Western Bank Note Company building
on the corner north was protected by fire
wall. but several lines of hose were run into
the structure and two leads were placed on the
roof. where they played with advantage on the
burning mass.

WOULD VOTE FOR HARRISON.
Weaver Men Not Inclined to Let the Elec
tion Go Into the House.

Weaver Men Not Inclined to Let the Elec-
tion Go Into the House.
Statements now made by persons acquainted
with the plans Of third party men indicate that
the democrats will be greatly disappointed if
they calculate on the election of Mr. Cleveland
by the House in case Of the failure of either
Cleveland or Harrison to carry enough states to
secure the election.
There are very good reasons for believing
that if Mr.. Weaver carries the western states
he expects to the electors chosen on the peo-
ple's party ticket will vote for Harrison sooner
than permit the election to go to the House.
The Weaver folks are claiming Kansas, Ne
braska and the four silver states, and yet they
are predicting the election of Harrison. There
seems to be a chance that even granting the
possibility that Cleveland should carry Indiana
and New York he might by defeated by the loss of
one or two southern states to Weaver. 1t ap-
pears from statements made by third party
managers TO be probable that if any electoral
votes chosen on the Weaver ticket will elect
Mr.. Harrison. even though he should lose New
York, he will get them.
Under these circumstances, unless the demo-
Gratis can win by a straight vote BY the people
there will be mighty little show of his getting
into the White House. The republicans are
undoubtedly encouraged by this prospect, and
feel that they may win without New York.
A conservative statement of the situation as it
appears today Is given in the following table:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1892-11-01

Total.

Should Weaver carry Nevada. Colorado. Kan
sas. Nebraska, South Dakota and Alabama the
democrats could not count on that to elect
Cleveland. as those forty votes would probably,
1t Is asserted. go to Harrison if necessary to
keep the election out Of the House.
Losing Alabama the democrats would have
to carry all the other states in the doubtful
column above-Indiana Is; Delaware. 8; Con-
necticut, 6; New York. So: West Virginia, 6, and
Montana. 3--which would give Cleveland just
1923 votes.
The loss Of n single southern state would in
the above contingency probably be fatal to the
democrats, even though Weaver should get
forty or moro votes.
Illinois and Wisconsin are put in the republic
can column in this table, though they are re-
garded by the democrats as doubtful.
The democrats have been counting on IS per
cent of the increase of vote in Chicago This
increase has been about 100 900. Should their
calculations prove correct it would give them
Illinois. This would enable them to get along
without Indiana, Connecticut or West Virginia
and Montana.
Minnesota is liable to stand in the republican
column, where it is placed in the above table.
but the third party may get four votes there
which would not be cast for Harrison under
any circumstances

Prof. Francisco Fanciulli, upon whom will
fall the mantle Of John Phillip Sousa as leader
of the band Of the United States marine
corps. enlisted as a private this morning in
the marine corps for the term of five
years. His enlistment papers were then for
warded to Col Charles Haywood commandant
of the corps, who will at once issue an order

new leader will assume command.
Prof. Fanciuli was seen today Just after he
had successfully passed the medical examina-
marine corps must pass, and had been sworn
in by Capt. d. P. Mannix of the corps
Very naturally Prof. Fanciulli was highly
elated over his success and while he
said he preferred to wait until he
had been officially informed of his APP
pointment as leader before stating what his
plans were, he said that he could not refrain
from expressing his qualification because Of the
great honor and the pleasure which his resi-
dence in so delightful city as Washington
would bring him. Mr. Sousa, said the new
leader. made a wonderful success Of the
Marine Band. and l am sure the people feel
very grateful to him. l trust that
may meet such success. have come to work
hard, and shall endeavor to make the band even
greater than before"
The new leader was born at Port Stephen.

closely resembles Prof. Sousa Prof Fanciulli,
however. is not quite as large a man the late
leader, being but feet 5}k inches in
height and weighing but 1876 pounds. He has
dark brown eyes. black hair, and his beard,
worn not unlike Prof. Souss's. is also
black. He speaks with a slight foreign
accent, and is a most charming Conversation
alist. He is married, having married an Ameri-
can lady OF German descent and has three
children, two boys and a girl Prof Fanciulli
