LOSS S1,OO0,OCO.
Reid Brothers Packing Houses, Kan.
sas City, Destroyed.
The Entire Fire Department Was There,
But the Water Pressure Was Totally ln-
ehective-Insurance Seven Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars.

KANSAS CITY, March 25.-A FIRE,
which started from unexplained causes,
destroyed the greater portion of Reid
Brothers packing house, in Armour
dale. Sunday evening, involving loss
of 100000. The loss may reach one
million dollars
From spectacular standpoint the fire
was a magnificent thing. The packing
house plant is located in the west bot
toms, and thousands of people gather
ed on the west bluff of this city to
view it.
The fire started in the third story of
the hog building, a structure of three
stories, 200 by IS feet, at $3.50 o'clock.
1t spread with remarkable rapidity and
quickly communicated to the engine
room on the south. The entire strength
of the fire department of the two Kan
sas Citys responded to the call, but the
water pressure was totally ineffective.
The best that could be done was to
save the beef building.
At 9:l0 the first wall fell, and then
the fire spread to the icehouses, five in
number and $50 by 200 feet in size.
All were destroyed. Next the
flames attacked the storage build
ng. This is an immense structure
four stories high and $50 by 200
feet. 1t was packed from top to bot
tom with pork. One of the Reid broth
ers stated Sunday night that the firm
never before had SO heavy a stock in
the building
A big effort was made to save this

and walls were soaked with grease and
burned like tinder. 1t was only by
concentrating the strength of the de-
partment and Armour's water tower
that the beef building was saved.
Reid Bros. carried about S75O,OOO
worth of insurance on buildings and
stock. Of this amount 100000 was in
demnity exchange, an organization
formed by local packers and merchants
for self-protection and cooperative in
surance two or three years ago.
The house was established in 1857 by
Kingan e. Co. Nimitcd), the Indianap-
oils and Belfast, Ireland, packers, as a
branch, under the management of
VIM. P. Reid. The name was changed
to Reid Bros. in July, 1892.
houses in the country, Kingan e. Reid,
the founders of the house, having been
well-known packers in Brooklyn as
early as 1850, and later doing an extern
| sive business in Cincinnati, moving
from there to Indianapolis, the pres
| ent home of the parent house.
| The Reid Bros. succeeded to their
| fathers interest, and was raised to the
business from their youth up.
The plant was located on sixteen
acres.of ground just across the bridge in
Armourdale. The daily capacity of the
house was 500 cattle, $50 sheep and {, 3,OOC
hogs. The average number of hands
has been LOO. and $3.50, 900 was paid
out in wages. The Reid Brothers Pack
ing Co. has supply depots at all the
principal cities of the country.
At II o'clock the fire was under con-
troll and the beef building, the office
building and the'smokehouse remained
standing. The entire value of the
plant and stock is estimated at S2,oOO,.
900. Careful estimates of the losses
place it at little over 81, 100000

The Result Of Three Days Battle in
Lima-The Government Overthrow and
the Revolutionists in Power.
. New T0TK, March 23.-The Herald's
cable from Lima, Peru, says that the
change in the government, establish.
ing provisional regime, is the result
of the three days battle in Lima. The
revolutionary forces. led by Pierola.
entered the city at dawn Sunday
m morning. Their entrance was not
suspected by the guards in the city as
a heavy mist concealed their move.
ments. When the forces reached the
principal square they seized the Church
of Towers and other favorable posi-.
tions. Immediately desperate battle
begun, which lasted all through the day
and part of the night. 1t was intense
ly dark, as the gas was cut off, and the
streets, houses and other buildings
were without illumination.
When the fighting ceased at night
drunken soldiers roamed through the
streets firing shots reclxlessly. The
battle was renewed at 5 o'clock Mon
day morning and continued all
through the day. The night was one
of terror. Depredations by the gov
ernment forces marked the opening
of hostilities on Tuesday. The
troops sacked the Union and Ma.
tional clubs and many of the shops.
Then diplomats and the papal nuncio,
Mgr. Machi, intervened. An armistice
was arranged for "a hours to give an
opportunity to bury the dead and re-
move the dead horses from the streets,
as there was danger Of pestilence from
the bodies. They were collected in a
pile and burned in the Plaza des Ar.
mas.
AS a result of the three days fight
ing, more than 1900 combatants were
wounded and killed on both sides. The
red cross ambulance service rendered
great aid during the battle. Many of
the soldiers, ignorant of the signifi-
canoe of the symbol on the ambulance,
fred on them. Many foreign and ma
tive women assisted in caring for the
wounded in the hospitals.
During the fighting all of the foreign
legations were exposed to the firing.
The United States legation was in a
particularly dangerous situation. Mrs.
Mckenzie, wife of the United States
minister, narrowly escaped being shot.
More than fifty refugees sought an asy-
lum in this legation.
The provisional president, Condamo,
has named SenoI Villarana as minister
of the interior. Senor Espanoza is
named as minister of justice, and
Senior Malpartida as minister of Fl.
nance.
The New government has issued an
order releasing all political prisoners.
Col PAUL., chief of the revolutionary
staff, directed the operations near
Lima. He entered the city with Pei.
rola, Isaias and other chiefs. PAUL.
was slightly wounded But few of
the revolutionary chiefs were hurt in
the battle, but more than a hundred o1
the Caceres leaders were wounded.

Law is Unconstitutional.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March 25.-At-
torneys of the cigarette trust, who
have been examining the law passed by
the last legislature requiring retailers
to pay $500 license, claim to have dis
covered errors sufficient to base suit
testing the constitutionality of the act.
But the real test will be based upon
the claim of the unjust discrimina-
tion which permits liquor dealers to
sell cigarettes upon the payment of
500, while tobacconists and all others
are required to pay $500 for the same
privilege. 1t is understood that coun-
sci for the trust have directed the re-
tailers to ignore the law entirely, the
trust guaranteeing to protect them in
all suits. and against any loss through
the imposition of fines.

FIRM GRAIN MARKET
WHEAT FINALLY GAINS 3-4C OVER
SATURDAYS CLOSING PRICES.
Corn and Oats Followed in the Adj
vance, and Provisions All show
Material Gains.

CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-The markets to-day
were generally firm. they having retained
the bullish feeling Characteristic of Satur-
days close. Wheat fuctuated considerably
on conflicting news, but finally closed &c
higher than ii opened. Corn and oats fol-
lowed the general trend of wheat to lesser
degree, while provisions show material
gains.
Wheat started off quite strong to-day and
sold fully 1zc above the close Saturday, but
the market soon got weak and all the ad-
vance was lost. The early strength was
partly the result of the bullish sentiment
carried over from Saturday. to the firmer
cables, the continued light deliveries In the
Northwest and good local buying to cover
shorts. For time there was not much for
sale and the competition among buyers was
sharp and prices were easily advanced. But
later the enthusiasm of buyers cooled Off
and the market began to drag. 1t was re-
ported that Australia--which has been of
late buyer of wheat-had actually export
ed some $4,000 bushels last week. Minnie
apolis wired that there was every reason to
expect that deliveries in the Northwest
would increase and, besides the financial
condition seemed to be growing worse and
there was talk of gold going to a premium
ana money was SdfQ TO De getting more
difficult to borrow and that the loan rates
We're hardening. All this finally had de-
pressing influence and some of the early
buyers turned sellers, prices gradually drop
