LATE MIL WAuKEE FIRE

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 29.-There were
hundreds of cars in the Northwestern
yards which were lost. The switchmen
of the road worked like beavers in
moving as many as possible, going
back and forth III storm of
fire and smoke that threatened to swal-
low them up every time they dared en-
ter. But again and again they went in,
returning with trains until the available
tracks were full and the main body of
the fiery army drove them away. 1t
was brave WORK CALAMITY done.
The flames showed considerable ec-l
centricity in their ravages. They would
jump across buildings for about a
block, leaving them untouched, only to

CALAMITY against the heavy ODDS.
Capt. Davis, of the revenue cutter
johnson, rendered his crew to Chief
Foley for use in fighting the fire. They
were gratefully accepted, and relieved
the firemen in places where they had
become exhausted by their hard fight

and the Johnson'S men fought gallant
ly and effectively.
The Fourth regiment. under COM
mand of Col. King, was called out to
assist in guard duty. as the crowds in
the vicinity of the burned district num-
Dered thousands, and the police force
was in need of assistance. A platoon of
the Fourth which assembled at the ar
mOry was sent to the house of cOrrec-
ton, near which institution fire was
reported raging, Willie there was no po-
lice for guard duty, all the men being
busy at the other fire.
Companies E and F were used for
guard duty along Detroit street. where
there were piles of household goods
which had been hastily removed from
the burning houses. Company A was
on guard duty around the Northwestern
yards, where thieves had taken advan-
tage of the fire to attempt the looting of
box cars.
Even in the heat of the battle with
the fire it is apparent that the heaviest
sufferers will be the poor people, who
have been driven out of their homes.
On every hand are heard accounts of
narrow escapes, where families just got
out with their lives and without any
thing but the clothes they stood in. In
the majority of cases no insurance was
carried.
The fire district is as barren as the
American desert. except for here and
there chimney stack which has re-
sisted the embrace of the flames, and
stands pointing blackened finger at
the ruin below it. From Detroit street
and Broadway TO the lake the sun to-
morrow will rise on a barren plain.
A woman about forty eyearS OF age
sought refuge in the Third ward school
house, and died from heart disease.
Her hame and address could not be
learned. She was taken to PeacOck'S
undertaking establishment.

SENATOR FRYE's RECEPTION.
1t Began in Goodness and Ended
in FrigiditY.

1t Began IN Goodness and Ended
in Frigidity.
Nothing bnt an ocular demonstration
was needed to show the apathetic, de-
bilitated condition of the Republican
party in Minneapolis, and that was
given last night.
The Republicans secured the exposi-
ton building for a big mass meeting
last night. The rally" was advertised
far and wide. and everybody was adj
vised to ''wat for it, 1t looked as if
the party was about to play a handful
of trumpS.
Senator William p. Frye, of Maine,
was the king of trumps.
The handful of trumps showed up as
a batch of small cards in poor suit"
and the king turned out to be a nine
spot.
Before the announced hour of the
meeting a couple of uniformed clubs
marched down Nicollet avenue behind
a couple or bands. But few people fol-
lowed. Over in the Exposition building
the auditorium was brilliantly lighted,
but the lights shown down on hun
dreds, thousands. of empty chairs.
The hall was little over half full.
The seats directly i'll front of the plat
form, geo of them, seemed to be we'll
filled. The seats in the rear of the plat =
form were almost half full. On the
platform were congregated fifty or so.
In the seats of the amphtheater ONLY
a few fingered along the lower edges.
That was the crowd at the start. About
o'clock the exodus began and until the
meeting was over Il steady stream of
people flowed out of the hall.
Senator W. ID. Washburn had been
placated since the Bjou theater meet
ing and acted as chairman. In his usual
bloodleSS way, he introduced Senator
William P. Frye, Of Maine. And FRYE
began.
Democrats. Register Today.
Senator Frye has learned well the
lessons in the Republican Spellbinders'
Handy Book. He fought all over again
the issues of ante-bellum days, the DAYS
before and during the Buchanan admir-
iStratiOn.
the South controlled the Democratic
party then, and 1t controls the Demo-
cratic party today" roared Senator
Frye, wholly overlooking the oft-re-
peated and ever-contradicted assertion
that Benjamin Harrison was nominated
by the officeholderS and Southern car
pet-baggers.
The distinguished gentleman from
Maine next yelled himself red in the
face in mac effort to show up the
Democratic party as free silyer''
party. He made the unparalleled state
ment that the Democratic party would,
if possible. compel the government to
pay a whole dollar for piece of silver
now worth but 66 cents. He next tried
tried to argue that the Democrats want
wildcat" currency; but, in doing it, he
deprived himself of the sympathy of
the audience by insulting it, he refer
ring to Minneapolis as this city of Mil
waukee.'
Senator Frye also fell into line with
other Republican speakers by attempt
ing to rob Neal, of Ohio. of the honor of
framing the Democratic tariff plank and
| giving the honor to Henry WatterSon.
Frye then spoke about twenty-five
| words complimentary to the Republican
candidate for governor: ten about Loren
| Fletcher, failing to mention his name;
| one hundred words about "Cush" Davis.

VISIBLE IN CHICAGO.
The Reflection IN the Skies Seen
From the auditorium Tower.


CHICAGo, Oct. 2S.-In response to a
request from the Milwaukee autho rites
for help the Chicago fire department
sent four engines by special train over
the n Northwestern road at 500 this even
ing.
Chief Sweeney remained in his office
during the evening receiving kilograms
giving the progress of the copilagration
in Milwaukee, and holding himself in
readiness to order additional companies
to Milwaukee if necessary.
The reflection on the skies caused by
the burning city, eighty-fve miles away
to the north, was distinctly visible from
west an ominous red glare lit up
the heavens, rising and falling as
the flames leaped upward or temporarily
died away. Great red clouds hung over
that city, and were borne by the winds
far out over the stormy lake. For sew
eral hours the weird sight was witnessed
by those who had assembled the tower,
and many were the expressions of SYM
pathy for the people who were battling
for their homes.
At 1880 Fire Marshal sweeney re-
ceived telegram from Mayor Z. j.
Somers, of Milwaukee, saying that the
men on his fire department were ex-
hausted and that he must have more
help, He asked for five more engines
Fire Marshal Sweeney did not act at once
but waited to hear from Fire Marshal
Musham. who went to Milwaukee OIL

THE BETTING EAST.
ut Is Quite Strongly in Favor of
Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The sports
who are attending the races just outside
the city are doing some betting ON the
election, and they are doing a good deal
of talking about betting. Mike Dwyer
has two pretty good-sized bets already
up. He bet Bookmaker Ike Thompson
$4,000 to $3.50 that Cleveland would
carry New York state, and he bet Book
maker Leo Swatts $1,000 to $500 that
Cleveland would carry Indiana.
George Wheelock is Republican, and
processes confidence in Harrlson'S cleo
ton, but he wants odds and he wants to
make bet SO big that very few men
can take it. He says he is ready to bet
$4,000 to $50, 900 that Harrison will win,
and he complains that no one has &C
eepted. Democrats, he says, want to
bet OH individual states. but do not want
to risk much on the general result. In
order to encourage acceptance of the
wager he is willing, if absolutely neces-
sary, to put up $4,000 against $4,000.
If MIR. Wheelock will bet even money
and in sums more easily handled than
10000, he can get his money covered.
II he will put it in $500 and $1,000 bets
he can find takers who will give odds.

1t would be possible to fully report all

WHITELAW is MEAN.
How Reid Gets Even on His Cam
paign Contribution.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-One thing that
is said to be acting as a thorn in the
flesh to the Republican managers is the
course of Whitelaw Reid's paper. The
Tribune has been itself campaign
document most extensively. The lead
ers have filled its columns with cam.
palgn literature in the "reading notice"
way, and have ordered hundreds of
thousands of copies for distribution.
Now it seems that the business end of
the paper, controlled by the candidate
for vice president, expects pay at regu-
lar wholesale rates for everything it has
done. Mr.. Reid. it is claimed, has con-
tributed $4,000 to the campaign fund.
His father-in-law, ID. o. Mills. hasn't
given anything, on the plea, it is al
legged. that Whitelaw's $4,000 was
enough for the family. The bill the
Tribune has sent into the campaign
committee is reported to be just little
more than $4,000. there is a good deal
OF grumbling. and the managers are
wondering what the millionaire candi-
date expects for the honor conferred
upon him.
