GERMAN GOVERNMENT BEATEN.
Fest Votes on the sTarify Bili in the
 RefchstHg.

Berlin, Oct. 21.-The government was defeated in the Reichstag to-day in test votes on the tariff bill by the conserva- tives and centrists inserting in the ministrys bill amendments fixing the minimum wheat duties at $150 per metric hundredweight. in place Of 1.37 and the rye duties at $1.37 instead of $125. The votes were: Wheat, 194 to 154; rye, 1S7 to 162. The minority was composed Of national liberals, social ists and radicals, Previous to the roll call Chancellor von Buelow again firm ly announced that it was impossible for the government to accept the amend ments.
 Three courses are now open to the ministry; negotiate for a compromise, or let the majority pass the bill in any form it chooses and suppress it in the bundesrath. In the latter event com- mercial treaties will be negotiated on the basis of the present tariff. The chancellor's plan appears to be to do nothing immediately and see if the ma- jority will yield.

AN UGLY FIRE IN CHICAGO
TWENTY-FIVE PERSONS RE
 PORTED TO HAVE PERISHED.
The Number, However, May be Leas- Plant of the Glucose Sugar Refinery Almost Entirely Destroyed Flames Spread Rapidiy-Emplcyes Jumped Co Their Death In Effort to Escape

Chicago, Oct. 22.--By a fire which broke out shortly before midnight in the plant of the Glucose Sugar Refin- cry, situated at Taylor street and the i Chicago river, that factory was almost entirely destroyed and it is said that twenty-nine persons lost their lives. The number of dead has not been estab- lished as yet but it is known that many were in the building and all were work ing on the seventh floor. The flames spread so rapidly that q man who was
 working on the thtsd floor had barely time to escape wftl n his life and it is not
 thought by the employees of the firm or by the firemen that the men in the up-
 per story could have avoided death. At midnight two bodies had been taken from the ruins but the fire was
 burning so fiercely that it was impos-
 sibR to make further search.
 Later the known dead was five.
 The plant of the refining company
 consisted of three buildings, the drying
 house, seven stories in height, the main
 refinery, four stories high, and another structure of four stories. The fire
 started in the drying house, being caus-
 ed by an explosion. The flames spread
 with almost incredible rapidity, and by the time the first of the fire department
 had arrived the building was ablaze from foundation to roof It was impos- sibIe for the firemen to make any eff fective fight against the flames and in a short time all the walls were down and the building within one-hlf hour from the time of the explosion was a mass of debris. The fire was so hot that at one time it was feared that the Taylor street viaduct across which ac-
 cess is had to the South side of the city, would be destroyed but the fire men managed to save this after hard struggle.
 They bent every effort toward saving
 the fourteen-story building of the re- finery but so intense was the fire in the drying house that this caught fire in several places, and at 12;30 a. m. it was evident that, even if it could be saved at all it would be badly dam aged. The fire was under control before o'clock, and, although it was not possi- Continued on Third Page.)

Robinson is in constant attendance, and will remain with his patient until the end, which, the physi- elan fears, is only a question of hours. Last night MT. Russell spent in a rest less and fatigueing manner. He suffer- ed two bad sinking spells, and it was feared that his rapidly-failing vitality was not sufficient to pull him through until daylight. He was still alive this morning, however, and appeared to be a trifle better. Throughout the day the patient appeared to have lost what lit tie strength remained, and at o'clock he was in a serni-conscous state and his condition was slowly becoming more critical.

Great Gas Well Struck

Worthington, Pa., Oct. 21.-The great est gas well ever struck in Armstrong county, if not in Pennsylvania, is now sending into the air more than twenty million cubic feet of gas every twenty four hours. It is defying all efforts to bring it under control. -~. The we'll is on the Peter Kerr farm, short distance south of here. The gas escaping, it is estimated, would supply a city of 10000 inhabitants. In the eleven days that have elapsed since the sand was struck more than 22O,OO0,000 cubic feet of gas, it is believed, have gone to waste.
