MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Big Wheat Elevator at Toledo, Ohio,
IssDestroyed.

Toledo, O., July 2S.-The c., H. & D.
elevator, located in East Toledo, was
totally destroyed by fire tonight, and
the loss on building and contents will
reach nearly 81, 009, QUO. 1t is not known
how much insurance is on the grain,
amounting TO 100000 bushels of wheat,
but the building carries $1S5,000 in va
riouS companies.
The elevator has been unusually busy
for the past two weeks and was work
ing night and day to store the $50 cars
of wheat Mhich are received daily at
the place. The fact that This was Sun
day prevented the fatalities which
might have followed, for the forty men
employed there had quit early and had
been out of the place about two hours.
The watchman had once made the
round of the building, and had found
everything safe, and was on his way
to the top on his second trip. He was
not aware there was fire, but obServ-
ers noticed a small blaze in the cupola.
An alarm was Immediately turned in,
but before any of the fire departments
could reach the place a terrific eXpio-
sion occurred that rocked the founda-
tons Of surrounding buildings. A mass
of flame shot UP in the air hundreds of
feet. The building was almost imme-
diately enveloped and within ten min
uteS another and more terrific explosion
occurred, which tore out the entire side
of the building near the river. This eX-
ploSion hurled the Waterman, w. f.
Welch, out of the flames and saved his
life. He was only slightly injured and
will recover.
The enormous building was a mass of
ruins half an hour after the first blaze
was noticed. The work of the fire de-
partment was futile, most .of their en-
ergies being directed toward saving ad
joining property.
The c.. H. & d. elevator was largely
owned by eastern capital. President
Woodford of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton road, is president of the COM
pany.
An elevator owned by this company
was burned on the same site four years
ago, and the present building was built
to be the most complete and fnost per-
feet in the country. The fire depart
ment claims spontaneous combustion
caused the blaze.

Troop From Fort Sheridan to Be Sent
to PHILIPPINES.

Chicago, July 23-War department
orders were received at Fort Sheridan
to place l. troop. Third cavalry. in i'm
mediate readiness for active service in
the Philippines. The same dispatch
announces the administrations purpose
to use cavalry more freely in the fall
campaign.
Major James B. Ayrshire, who pur-
chased the government cavalry horses
for the Spanish-American war, has in
structions to buy 5000 animals He will
look to the Chicago market first, and
then. it is said, selection will be made
of Texas ponies calculated to endure
the tropical climate. The drove will be
shipped to Seattle and embarked on a
fleet of sixteen transports, which will
sail for Manila. via the Aleutian
islands, Alaska, and Nagasaki, Japan.
The idea of the roundabout trip is to
give the horses intervals of rest. Troop
commanders at Fort Sheridan state
that the chosen route solves the prob
lem of successful transport of horses
to the eastern hemisphere.

MEETING WAS SATISFACTORY.
Statement Issued By Members of the
Democratic Convention.

Chicago. July 23.-The following
statement by the national committee
man from Mr.. Bryan's home state has
been issued:
The meeting of the national Demo-
cratic committee was grand success;
everything for which the meeting was
called was attended to. This call was
made at the instance of the friends of
bimetallism. and those friends con-
trolled it throughout. There seemed to
be some of the friends of our cause who
had conceived that the intention was
to switch issues and leaders as well as
workers, a conclusion without the
slightest foundation. The call was
made for the purpose of pushing the
ways and means plan of organization
and raising money for the campaign
of 1900 and perfecting this work so that
il might be extended into every state
and territory. This was accomplished.
No one who supported Bryan in '96
need fear that that cause will be aban-
doned or in any way hampered by the
present committee.

ka."
Appended is a statement signed by
Coin Harvey.
THE committee meeting was salts
