WORLDS FAIR BLAZE
Several Millions Of Valuable Exhibits
and Buildings Burned.
FRANCE THE GREATEST SUFFERER
smugglers' Ring Unearthed in San
Francisco--Foreign and Domestic

FRANCE THE GREATEST SUFFERER

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The damage to the
manufactures building by last nights
fire is mostly confined to the south half
moved beneath that portion. A space of
500 feet on the east side and $50 feet on
the west side of the roof is completely
burned away. Beneath this portion
were the French, Belgian and Russian
exhibits, and they suffered the most. 1t
is impossible, as yet, to estimate the loss
on the exhibits, as they are all boxed
and will have to be unpacked before it
can be known what damage is done by
water to the textiles and by breakage to
ceramics and other fragile exhibits in
the work of hasty removal. The heaviest
loss, however, is in the French section,
whose exhibits were originally worth
81 100000. Among the losses in that
section are bronze statues of war, Sevres
china exhibits, Gobelin tapestry ex-
hibits, Mosaic and inlaid furniture ex-
hibits, Dore bronze vases, costume ex-
hibits and French publishers exhibits.
The loss on the burned buildings is total,
as the insurance had expired. The
manufactures building cost 81, ,700, 900,
the music hall 100000, the Casino
100000 and the peristyle $3.50, 900.
These figures, however, cannot be taken
in estimating the value of the destroyed
buildings, as they were practically
worthless, the cost of demolition and re-
moving in case of all, except the manu-
factures building, being equal to if not
greater than the salable value, and the
value of the, manufactures building was
chiefly confined to the great steel arches,
which, with the exception of one men
toned, are still intact. 1t was about
5 O'Clock this morning before the fire was
thoroughly under control, and firemen
continued on duty many hours longer,
turning streams upon tie smoking or
glowing timbers here and there to guard
against the possi bility of renewed OUT
break

In comforting upon Mgr. della Volpe,

shown remarkable spirit of forgive

first visit to the pope his majesty let
his helmet tumble to the ground.
Mgr. della Volpe Immediately stopped
to pick it up. Unfortunately Emperor
William bent down for the same pur-
pose, and the head of the monarch and
that of the prelate came into violent
collision, and the gravity of all present
was put to a severe test. 1t required
the utmost presence of mind on the
part of the monsignor to restrain him
self from applying his hands to his
damaged pate, and since then he has
not hesitated to proclaim Emperor VIII
liam as being the most hard-headed
monarch in ChriStepdOrn

LIVELY ON CHANGE.
Stocks Go Upa NOtchAllAround
On Stock Exchange.
Blocks of Thousands of Shares
Change Hands Rapidly.
TARIFF BILL DID 1T.
Foreigners Take Hold and Make
Large Purchases.
The Sugar Trust People Are
Naturally Greatly Elated.

New York, Aug. 14-Operators at the
stock exchange enjoyed the liveliest
opening today they have had for long
time. The dealings were very heavy,
blocks of thousands of shares changing
hands rapidly amid much excitement
The fluctuations were in keeping with
the increased activity, and prices moved
up and down SO smootly that brokers had
difficulty in executing orders given ''at a
limit"
All this was the direct result of the
passage of the tariff bill The fact that
this disturbing influence is about to be
removed, is hailed with greater satisfac-
tIOn than any event that has Iranspired
in the financial world since the repeal Of
the silver coinage act. The foreigners
have already taken hold with a will and
their purchases is largely attributable to
the weakness Of sterling and consump-
tion of export gold exports.
The chief attractions were sugar and
distIlling, the dealings of both OF which
were ON scale Of unusual magnitude.
Sugar opened at 1U914 U1O91a against
100 yesterday, then dropped 70 1861,
rallied to 1888, reacted to 1O115s and re-
covered to lUo. Brokers say that they
are receiving orders from customers
whom they mad not seen since the
panic of last summer, and business on

change were extremely lively.
On the consolidated exchange. the
crowd in front of the rail and in the cor
rIdor outside the main floor was SO great
that it almost impossible to get
through it.
Al the opening at 10 o'clock prices
began to go up all along the list Of stocks,
and they kept gong. The sugar people
are, it is said, greatly elated over the pas
sage Of the blII, but all refuse to talk for
publication. All the trust people, with
the exception Of Ii. o. Haveneyer, are
out of the city, and Mr.. Havemeyer re-
fuses to see reporters.

Bogtalog Hall, in Towyn. North
Wales, is a noted ruin. Its existence
dates back over 500 years, and according
to a tradition which the superstitious
people of the neighborhood have been
taught to believe it has been haunted
for almost that number Of years. When
the castle was built, chapel for the
reception Of the dead was erected. 1t
has never been used. In the fourteenth
century some member of the family
died at Hastings. and the body, instead
of being conveyed to the chapel Of Bog
talog Hall for interment, was buried at
Hastings On the anniversary Of that
person s death each year the spirit is
said to be seen by the superstitious
