Kansas City Auditorium Has Risen
Pheenix-Like from the Ashes.
The great auditorium in which the ma
tional Democratic convention met has
risen Phoenix-like from the ashes. On
April 4 the great structure of which it is
a duplicate was entirely DESTROYED by fire,
entailing loss of $235,000. Firemen
were still at work on the smoldering
ruins when the owners of the hall met
and decided to rebuild. Next day the
clearing away Of the rubbish began. Con
tracts let for the destroyed structure
were duplicated, and Immediately began
the rush of steel structural work, lumber,
brick and building material to Kansas
City. The original had only been con
structed in 1898, and was regarded as a
model building of the kind. On June "a

task so monumental reflects great credit

The hail occupies a space 314 by 200
feet. 1t is two stories high, built of Mis-
souri, stone. with cream brick and terra

of the renaissance style and the second
of peristyle form. with groups and Corin-
THAN columns. 1t is OF bridge construc-
ton, without column, the roof being
supported by great steel girders. The
floor space is divided into an arena, in
which the delegates and alternates were
seated, an arena balcony and balcony and
roof garden, with boxes skirting the
arena and arena balcony. The arena
alone seats four thousand persons. while
the entire structure affords standing room
for about twenty-five thousand.
During the convention fifty firemen
We're stationed about the building, and an
engine was kept in readiness on the out
side. The building can be emptied at the
rate of FIVE thousand minute.

Relations Between Germany and China
Reach q Crisis.

ii ATlSiSs
The murder of the German minister at
Pekin, Baron Won Ketteler, has brought
the relations of Germany and China to a
crisis. The Emperor, in his speech at
kiel, voiced the Indignation of Germany
when he said that the German flag had
been insulted and that the outrage de-
manded exemplary punishment. The
Emperor has decided to send a division
of $4,000 men to China. The Berlin for
eign office says that the first shot at Taku
was fired by the Chinese.
Chaos seems to prevail in Government
circles in Pekin. Rumoss represent the
empress dowager as bereft of power and
Prince Tuan attempting to WELD the inn
perial scepter, while Gen. Yung Lu is al
legged to have declared that his soldiers
refuse TO obey him. Other reports assert
that the empress dowager and the EN-
peror, fearful lest they lose their heads.
have fed westward. Little credence is
placed, however, in any Of these REPORTS.
The only reports from Pekin which are
regarded as trustworthy are those from
numerous sources affirming that the Ger
man minister, Baron Won Ketteler, has

FireBten Crushed by Falling Wall
During Big Pittsburg Blaze.


During Big Pittsburg Blaze.
One fireman was killed and eleven 9TH
ers injured and nearly $300.000 worth of
property was destroyed in a fire that
broke out in the machine shop of the Best
Manufacturing Company on Twenty-hfth
street, Pittsburg The fire was discover
ed at 6:1S and spread so rapidly that in
less than half an hour the entire plant,
four stories high and 100 feet square, was
burning, and it was feared adjoining
property would go Thn iremen were in
jured by falling walls. They were stand
ing on a fire escape on the side of the
building. They had two leads of hose
out when the walls began to topple, and
in spite of the shouts of warning given
the men were caught and carried to the
ground By the masses of brick and tim
bers which fell as the wall collapsed. One
or two of the fremen jumped, but even
they were struck and cut by the falling
bricks and timbers. The property de-
stroyed was valued at 100000 and the
stock OF patterns and machinery proba-
bly, 100000 more. Many of the patterns
cannot be replaced The company manu-
featured pipe fittings and valves.

Settlers and New Mine Owners Clash
in a Colorado Camp.
Fighting has begun between the set
tiers and the new owners of Baca Grant
No. in Saguache County, Colorado. A
small miners settlement on Dead Mans
creek was blown up the other night.
Three cabins were blown to pieces, logs
being reduced to splinters, and rocks
used in the foundations having been hurl-
ed hundreds of feet Windows were
broken and small buildings rocked in the
nelghboring town of Duncan, where the
miners spent the night under arms. No
traces of the perpetrators have as yet
been found. The grant was recently pur-
chased by the San Luis Valley Land and
Mining Company, a New Jersey corpora
tion. For months the company has been
arming men and sending them in TO pro-
tect its property. The settlers claim to
have prior right and are prepared for
armed resistance.

r.. G. Dun &Co's' weekly review Of
trade says: '.The long effort to hold nom
inal prices for iron at Pittsburg has ceas
ed, and the associations now recognize an
open market in which BesseIner is offered
at 80 and bilIets at SIG, with gray forge
at ST. Scarcely single transaction is
reported. The calculation that the wooden
goods business was large enough and
good enough TO stand anything is not yet
justified The market is growing unsat-
isfactory and it is no longer denied that
some of the best works have closed or
materially reduced force. The demand
for mems heavy goods falls much below
expectations. VIII partially different
causes the cotton goods market reaches
a similar position. The boot and shoe
industry makes slow progress. Leather
holders complain of too little business to
make a market. Hides at Chicago are
also a little weaker. Failures for the

ROCKEFELLER WINS FIGHT.

Secures Full Control of the Iron Ore
Lake Carrying Business.
A treaty Of peace has been entered into
between the Rockefeller and Carnegie
interests in the contest over the lake
freight rate on iron ore, which John d.
Rockefeller, Jr.. has been trying to main
tain at $1.25 from the head of Lake SUI
perior to Lake Erie ports. 1t is said that
Rockefeller has secured control of all OF
the ships of the Pittsburg Steamship
Company, the fleet Of ore carriers which
Carnegie began forming last fall when
the strife began. Carnegie is to take all
the Rockefeller iron mines, thus dividing
the territory, and leaving the son of the
Standard Oil magnate in full control Of
the carrying business.
