ROCKETS FLEW WILD.
A Fatal Explosion in Chicago Fire.
works Factory.

Chicago, June 10.-A match dropped
carelessly by one of the workmen in the
fireworks factory of M. Shure, at West
Van Buren and Halstead streets, caused
terrific explosion a few minutes after
= O'Clock tonight. 1t was shortly after
the closing time of the factory, and
many of the workmen had gone home,
otherwise the loss of life would have
been very heavy. As it was, number
OF the employees were badly hurt, and
flying rockets and candles struck sew
eral people who were passing in street
cars and on the sidewalks. Mrs.
Maggie Kenny was struck by horse,
and died in the hospital. Fourteen
persons were severely, and II slightly
injured.
The force Of the explosion was so
great that nearly all the windows in the
block were demolished, and the Shure
building, which is four-story struc-
ture, was badly damaged.
Immediately following the explosion,
the establishment was ablaze from cell
lar to roof, and the fire department had
desperate struggle before il succeeded
in extinguishing the flames. The
building was almost entirely destroyed
by fire, however. and such portions of
the large stock of fireworks as had not
been scattered throughout the neigh
borhood by the explosion, were de-
stroyed. causing heavy loss to Shure.
The explosion caused wild panic in
that portion of the town for time, and
the widest stories were current regard
ing the number of killed and wounded.
1t happened at time when the street
was crowded with people on their way
to their homes, and the street-cars,
which pass in front of the building ev-
cry minute, was were densely crowded
with passengers. The flying missiles
from the factory struck a number of
people on the cars, and one man who
was gazing into store window fully
400 feet distant had his attention sud-
denly attracted to other matters by q
rocket, which hit him squarely in the
back. He fell to the sidewalk and
was carried to the hospital before he
was able to give his name. The major
ity of those injured, however, received
but trifiing hurts, and will be around
within day or two.
The loss to the building and contents
is estimated at $50, 900.

Pacific Coast Armor-plate Plant.

San Francisco, June 1l.-Should the

Gently visited and inspected the Union

their construction.

Washington, June 14.-The test vote
on the sugar schedule was taken late
today, resulting in the adoption of the
Republican caucus amendment, increas-
ing the duty on refined sugar from
1.087 to 1.095 cents per pound, by the
close vote of ayes 32, noes 80. The
affirmative vote was made up of 20 Re-
publicans, Democrat (McEnery),
silver Republican (Jones of Nevada),
and / Populist (Stewart). The mega
tive vote was made up of 25 Democrats,
Populists and 2 silver Republicans.
1t was the closest vote so far taken on
an issue of Importance, and was accept
ed as showing that any amendments
having the sanction of the caucus were
assured of adoption.
The vote was taken after day spent
in speeches on the effect of the sugar
schedule. The main speech of the day
came from Allison, in charge of the
bill, and was in the nature of an an
swer to the charges made against the
sugar schedule as whole, and defense
of it. German spoke against the sched-
ule and the entire bill, pointing out
that its effect was to burden the peo-
pie, without opening to us new mar
kets. White reviewed the records Of
Republican senators on the sugar sched-
ule during the debate on the Wilson
bill, arraigning them for inconsistency.
Caffery and Stewart also spoke, the
former against and the latter for the
sugar schedule.
The first paragraph of the sugar
schedule was not finally disposed of up
to the time of adjournment.
