FIRE AT CHICAGO.
The Windy City Experiences
Another Disastrous Fire.
LOSS NEARLY A HALF MILLION.
Bear on a Rampage---NO Extra Ses-
sion---Work at The Dalles. >

A fire which in extent of terri
tory covered, is the largest known
in this city for many years, began
in that portion known as South
Chicago about 5 o'clock last Thurs
day and before it was got under
control had destroyed over 200
buildings, mostly frame residence
structures occupied by working
men, and rendered many hundreds
of people homeless.
The fire started in a three story
building on the corner of Nine
teenth and Superior streets, oc-
cupied as a residence by William
GILES. 1t was caused by his daugh-
ter, who accidently upset a lamp
while hesting a curling iron. From
there it rapidly spread and grew in
volume, famed by gale from the
west, and the flames ate their way
over block after block of small
frame residences, until reaching
the lake.
Within two hours after the fire
started it had consumed at least
five blocks of the great industrial
section of the city. The residents
Of that portion of the city were in
panic condition second only to
the one which characterized the
great fire. The streets were block
AIDED with wagons containing the
effects of frightened people, and
men, women and children fled in
all directions. Before the few en-
gines in the district could make the
slightest impression upon the
flames, they bounded eastward be-
tween Nineteenth and Ninety first
streets in the direction of the lake.
House after house went down and
soon the First Methodist and Ger
man Lutheran church had succum-
bed. Hardly had these structures
gone than the fire was seen to be
blazing in a dozen places further
east, the brands being carried long
distances by the furious wind.
The burned territory is just north
of the business center Of South
Chicago, and was given almost ex-
| clusively to residences. Fire sprane
from the ruins of the GILES house
to the cottage adjoining on West
street and brands were carried te
the building at the corner Of Buf
falo avenue and West. The blaze
spread north and south on Buffalo
avenue, while the original fre
ragged along Ninety-frst street and
Superior avenue south was becom-
ing a perfect tornado of flames.
Before the dozens of engines had
made much headway the immense
docks of the Sunday Creek Coal
Company were burning. More than
100000 tons of coal were stored ir
these immense bins. From this
time on the force of firemen in.
creased and the flames were grad
ually brought under control. By
| s o'clock the work of nearly forty
engines, besides the fireboat, hat
told, and the coal in the Sunday
Creek coal docks and Beck's lum
Der yards were the only place
where the fire was still uppermost
and in a short time it was practic
ally under control there.
| The number of people homeless
is variously estimated at from 400
to 5000, but it is thought this fig
ure is little exaggerated. Despit
the rapidity with which the flame
spread and the confusion whicl
prevailed no lives were lost as 70
as known, and only a few peopl
were injured, and those not fatally

THE REPEAL BILL PASSES.
The Wilson repeal bill passed
by a vote of 139 to 110. On the
amendment of 16 to 1 one hum
dred democrats thirteen republi-
cans and eleven populist voted
yea. Among the republicans were
Sweet of Idaho, Doolittle and Will

Hermann of Oregon voted with
the nays, against the amendment.
The nay vote composed one hun
dred and eight republicans and one

There was great surprise at the ma
jority against free coinage, it being
nearly double the largest es-
innate made by the anti-silver COM

extreme left of the speaker, smiled
grimly as he heard the result ofthe
vote on the question of free coinage
at a ratio of II to 1. 1t resulted in
yeas 100, nays 240. On this vote,
besides the loss of populist votes,
were several negative votes from
