BIG PLANT BURNED.
Factory of the Kelly AK Manufactur-
Ing Company, at Alexandria, Ind,
Destroyed-LoEs, $500, 900.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 2o.-A Senti-
mel special from Alexandria, Ind,
says: The entire plant of the Kelly
AK Manufacturing company, valued
at 100000, was destroyed by fire Sun
day evening. This was one of the
largest factories in this city and the
largest ak factory in the world, EN-.
ploying some 500 or 1000 men when
running at full force. The plant was
operated all year, never stopping more
than one week at a time to take stock.
The company has just enlarged the fac
tory, increasing the output fully one
third. The plant was well insured.
The factory was located north of the
city, outside the corporation, and the
fire department could not render any
assistance. The fire cut off the water
supply Of the factory, and left no
means of fighting the flames.
The fire started in the grinding de-
partment Of the AK factory. A strong
wind carried the flames to the pump
house and doomed the entire works to
destruction. In a short time the
whole plant, covering ten acres, was
reduced to ashes. 1t was the only
plant not in the trusts, was valued at
nearly a million dollars, and although
in the hands of a receiver, was ex-
pected to be taken out of the receivers
hands next January. So far as known
no one was hurt.

caused all the trouble, was Mrs. Lee

"Since the dog was clipped" said
Mrs. Lenone, she had been acting
queerly. He seemed all right on Mon
day, however, when l started for a
drive. Ihad no warning that anything

yelping, swapping at me and striving to

The officials here were aware of the
fact that the stronghold of the Boxers
was in the Chinese city, and that for
the allies TO attempt to force their way
through it into the Tartar city in which
the legation compounds are located
might mean a great loss of life and
possibly a defeat. It was also known
that the imperial troops, which have
sided with the Boxers, were many of
them in OF near the Chinese city, and
that much of the artillery and rifle fire
which has been poured into the lega-
tions had been from the walls sep
arating the two cities. These facts evil
IDENTIFY were communicated to Gen.
Chaffee and the other commanding Of
ficers of the allies. Realizing these OBJ
s~tacles, it appears the allies decided to
attack the city by the east gate. There
are four entrances to the city on the
East, two leading to the Chinese city
and two to the Tartar city. Just which
one of these was selected as the attack

Previous information which has been
received here showed that the allied
armies took possession of Tung-Chow
on the 18th inst, From that city to PEI
king the distance is not very great, not
more than a dozen miles. 1t seems evil
dent. therefore, that the armies halted
for a time at T~ung-Chow, probably for
the purpose Of giving the men a rest
and prepare for the attack upon the
capital city il force after waiting I'M
til the rear of the advancing host should
arrive at the front. Possibly also the
delay was the result of negotiations
inaugurated by the Chinese officials
looking to the delivery of the minis
tiers with a Chinese or other escort. If
negotiations were attempted they
must have failed, as the army contin-
ued on It's march and attacked the cap
ital three days after reaching Tung-

that the attack on the city met with
strong resistance. The japanese force
engaged with the advance, according
TO the understanding of the officials

loss suffered by them was over n per
cent. Allowance is made for losses in
the forces OF the ether armies, but it
