Disposed to Give Kansas City
Another Chance.
EFFORTS TO REBUILD STARTED.
While Fire Was Destroying the Great
Convention Hall, subscriptions Were
Being Secured to Put Up Another

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Chair1nan
Jones believes the Kansas City people
should be given q chance, before decid-
ing to look for convention site else
where. News from st. Louis says ex-
Governor Stone believes the same, and
Secretary Walsh, at Chicago, said he
believed the fire would in no way inter
fere with the holding Of the convention
at Kansas City.
KANSAS City, April 5.-Conyention
hall, where the Democratic national
convention was to have been cid on
July i was laid in ruins in less than 30
minutes, by fire, which burned with
such fury that it was almost evident
from the start that the structure was
doomed, and the firemen soon turned
their attention to saving surrounding
property. A stiff breeze was blowing,
and before the fire was subdued the
Second Presbyterian church, one of the
finest edifices in the city, the church
parsonage, the Lathrop public school, a
two-story, 10 room building, all situate
across the way, on Central street, and a
half block of threestory fiat buildings
on Twelfth street, were totally de.
stroyed. Several residences were dam.
aged, and for time it was feared that
several blocks of buildings in the resi-.
denee district would go.
The aggregate loss is 100000, appor-
toned as follows: Convention hall,
1886, 600; insurance, $4,000; church,
$4,000, insured; parsonage, $15, 900, in.
sured; school, 1886, 900; insurance, $50,
400; Williamson block, Twelfth street,
$50, 900; insurance, $40, 900.
Plans are ON foot to rebuild convention
hall Immediately and have it ready fol
the Democratic convention i'll July.
While the fire was still in progress,
members of the Commercial club,
through whose efforts the hall was
built, mingled in the crowds of specta.
tors and began soliciting funds for a
new structure. Last evening $50, 900
had been subscribed, and Secretary F.
Clendennin, Of the club, called a mass.
meeting of citizens for tonight to de.
wise ways and means for raising an add
ditional $4,000 The hall association
have $4,000 i'll the bank and will have
the $153,0 insurance for immediate
use, the insurance companies having
offered to waive the usual 60-day limit
and make settlement ON demand The
Kansas City Lumber company, that
furnished four fifths of the lumber for
the old building, has agreed to duplicate
the order at once at the rate in existence
two years ago, and the Minneapolis firm
that furnished the steel girders for the
immense roof have been asked to dupli-
cate their order
The supposition is that the blaze
started from spirit lamp or by the
crossing of an electric light wire.
