BIC fire IN
SIOUX CITY,
Armour Packing House De-
stroyed Amid Spectacular and
Sensational Scenes.

Sioux City. Ia, Nov. 16.-Armour
& Co.'s packing plant. which occu-
pied four acres of the stockyards and
was valued at 5000, 600 was destroyed
early this morning by fire which
started on the second floor of the fer
tilizer building and is thought by
Manager Lennon to be due either to
spontaneous combustion or to an i'm
perfect dryer. The loss is partly
covered by $721.5 500 insurance. Six
hundred men are thrown out of work
by the fire.
Within an hour after the fire was
| discovered by watchman six streams
of water were being thrown upon the
flames, which had Quilted the fertiliz-
er building. 12Ox60 feet and four
stories high, but the pressure was in
adequate. The floors and contents of
the building burned like chaff. The
roof soon fell. and the fire burst
through into the beef killing house.
At the same time the cattle chute was
ignited, and in five minutes fell with
a crash. Once in the beef killing
house the flames danced madly. From
this house to the oleonargerine build
ing was only step, and when the
oils started to burn the fire presented
a most spectacular appearance.
The big beef house containing 500
carcasses, next caught fire and the
iwhole plant. except the hog house,
was lake of fire. The roar was ter
rible. The country for miles around
was lighted up. Suddenly there was
la terrific detonation followed quickly
another and then another. Twenty
four drums of 100 pounds of amonia
each exploded before the reserve sup
iply in the amonia cistern could be
Preached. That explosion almost
raised the entire plant. The flames
were blown through the fire wall
which separated the hog house from
the other buildings. The hog house
contained $500 dressed hogs and
2, 5O0,0 pounds of pork products.
STEADILY the fire crept against the
wind and through the office building.
Not a scrap of paper was saved.
When the last amonia drum was GO
ing off II chute fell upon a bunch OF
live hogs and their squeals were added
to the appalling chorus. After the
fl got good headway in the hog
house. the shops. chicken packing
plant, in connection with the house.
a runway and small department houses
kwere consumed in quick succession.
The terrible roaring continued una
bated. the brick walls crumbled and
crashed one by one, and the conf1aRra-
tion gradually ate its way through
building after building. The fire de-
partment was helpless as its equip
ment was inadequate. The pressure
was hardly strong enough to throw
water to the roof of the pork house
When the walls of this department
burst the firemen played their
streams on the outbuildings until day
break.
The fire burned all day. and this
afternoon there was another terrible
explosion. which threw bricks and
pieces of iron for hundreds of yards.
No one was hurt.

FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK BY LAND
The GdIe Being Placed Around the Earth by the French Tav
eerHe Was Found Starving the Siberian Coast by the u
S. Revenue Cutter hes and Feed Across to Cape Nome

Victoria, B. c., July 14.-Harry De
Windt. the French explorer, who is trav-
cling from Paris to New York by land,
was found starving or the Siberian, coast
of Bering sea early In June. He arrived
at Nome June "a and left June ~ TOR
Dawson City. From there he will proceed
to Skaguay, where he will take a steamer
for Victoria and. proceed eastward by
way of the Canadian Pacific railroad to.
New York, completing the trip from Paris
to New York via Bering straits. which
he set out to make. 49,.
De Windt's party is made up Of three
persons besides himself. the Viscount de
Cluichamp Belegarde. George Harding and
Stephen Inokentivich, the latter a Cos
sack picked up on the Russian frontier.
After being succored in June the party
crossed Bering sea on the United States
revenue cutter Thetis to Cape Prince of
Wales, from where they were taken to
Nome by the steamer Sadie. ,z... : So -, -,
De Windt left Paris on Dec 19 last.
From Paris to Irkutsk by rail; from Ir-'
kutsk to Yakutsk, the coldest spot en- the
habitable earth, distance of over 1000
miles, by sledge; from Yakutsk to Mimi
Kolyminsk, on the Arctic ocesn, $500
miles, over frozen, desolate waste in
sledges drawn by reindeer; from Mini
Kolyminsk $500 miles along the shore of
the Arctic in sledges drawn by dogs, De
Windt and his party fought their way.
Twice before De Windt had failed in
the effort, once being driven back by un-
friendly savage tribes in northern ST.
IBERIA, and once turned back by the war
in China. . >e~G:::->r:

The explorer was aided materially by
the American and Russian governments in
this attempt, the Siberian officials being
ordered to take every precaution to insure
the safety Of the explorers against un-
friendly natives, and the United States
revenue service in Alaska being ordered
to keep a lookout for the party. .-.-
Mr.. De Windt is known through his
books. "Peking to Calais by Land" "A
Ride to India" and Through the Gold
Fields of Alaska to Bering Straits" The
object OF his present Journey is to prove,
II possible, the feasibility of reaching
Paris from New York by an overland
route. "Impossible!" you exclainn. "Why.
to get from America to- France you must
cross the Atlantic oceanv Quite an cx-
cusable error, says Mr.. De Windt, and
one that the most cultivated people will
rashly make on the spur of the moment,
until 1t Is pointed out to them that France
divided by a narrow strip of sea, little
further from shore to shore than the
Straits Of Dover. This strip of sea is
known as Bering straits. A glance at the
map will convince the deubter, and serve
to indicate Mr.. De Windt's ambitious and
daring dream of a land journey from Paris
to New York. Think of one day entering
a comfort able train de luxe in New
York, and emerging from it, little the
worse. for the jour- ey, in Paris. The trip,
to be. sure, by railroad would be a long

longed Journey rather than encounter the

Chicago, July 14.-A Washington special
to the Chronicle says: 1t was decided
at conference of democratic leaders Fri
day that Chairman Griggs Of the demo-
cratic congressional committee shall make
an extended trip over the country to: look
into the political situation. Mr.. Griggs
will start from Washington shortly after
Aug. 1 and his trip will cover the states
of the Pacific coast, northwest and middle
west. Commencing in the state of Wash
ington Judge Griggs will work southwark
through Oregon and California.
The situation in Minnesota and Mich
igan is. looked upon as promising owing
to the attitude Of opposition toward the
national administration assumed by their
delegations in congress. Several Of the
Representatives from these two states
have been kept busy trying to explain. in
answer to complaints Of their constituents,
the reason why they fought the president 8
Cuban reciprocity program. All this Is
conducive to democratic success.
In Wisconsin the fight between the La
Toilette and the regular wings: Of the
republican party may lead to defeat OF
that party in the coming elections.
Judge Griggs' mission will be to ascer-
tain the weak spots in the enemy's armor
and after they are once found every re-
source Of the democratic organization will
be concentrated with a view to- wrestling
control from the republicans.

Seattle, WASH. July 1.-The United

arrived at, Dutch harbor in distress June
2S after being out from Yokohama thirty
nine days. When she arrived at Dutch
Harbor she was out Of fuel, and the food
supply was running low. Three days more
and 1t would have become q serious guess
tion Of finding sufficient to eat for the
young sailors on board. The fact that she
carried a full complement Of sails prob
ably saved her.
- The Mohican left Yokohama bound for
Honolulu direct, but encountered head
winds that drove her off her course. She
was finally driven into the Great Circle
and brought up at Dutch Harbor Had the
captain attempted to sail her into Homo
lulu it is not believed his supply Of food
would have held out. After repleuishing
her supply of food and fuel at Dutch Har-
Dor, the Mohican sailed on June 30 for

WASHINGTON WORRIES
Split in Wisconsin Means Loss of
Conversational Districts.

Congressional Districts.
k,.o,s, Tho Journal B,reau,- Room, A5. Pod
BusSdtss0, Washington. :
Washington, July 14-Deep interest Is
felt in political and official circles in the
factional fight among the republicans of
Wisconsin, which will come to q head
next Wednesday in the state convention.
The re- election of Senator Spooner and
the possible change of political complex
tion Of two or more congressional dis
tricts are involved.
The pending fight is said here to be
unparalleled in It's bitterness. Nothing
like it has ever been known in that
state. The danger of split in the re-
publican party with it's magnificent pres
ent majority is said to be imminent. If
the split should assume such proportions
as to cause republican detection, two of
the congressional districts might be lost.
" That possibility is worrying the Wis
consin delegation, several OF whom are
still in Washington, !. while others are
in the east keeping out of the trouble.
AS the contest is mainly upon state issues
and as the Representatives in congress
have friends In both factions, they are
kept busy endeavoring to balance them
selves evenly upon the fence. One or
two, members Of the delegation may at
tend the convention but it is said that
they will remain strictly neutral.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 14.-Farmers are
becoming somewhat anxious about the
matter of harvest help. The crop prom
ises to be the largest for ten years, and
it is going to take an army of men to get
it in stack. The straw is heavy and this
will make additional work necessary
There are no indications Of anywhere near
the required number. of men coming in
from otherzsstates this year, everybody
appearing to be too busy elsewhere. UP to
this time only very few. laboring men
have appeared. There is the usual num-
Der of thoroughbred hoboes, but they will

and unless the railroads or other agencies
take UP the problem there will be great
difficulty in caring for the crop. 49,
