Firemen Unable to Check the Flames
and the Loss Is Estimated at Fully
Half a Million Dollars.
NEARBY INDUSTRIES IN DANGER
HARD FIGHT TO SAVE THE ARMOUR
AND LIBBY HOUSES.
Records of the Company Believed to
BE Unharmed-Other Points Re-
port Smaller Losses.

CHICAGO, July 5.-By a fire which broke
out in their plant at the stockyards to-
night Swift & Co. suffered loss which is
estimated by the officials Of the company
at $4,000. The fire was confined TO one
building standing at the intersection of
Packers avenue and Broadway. This struc-
ture was four stories high, built of brick,
and was 300 feet square. The first floor was
occupied by the wholesale meat market of
the company, the second by the shipping
department and the third and fourth by the
general offices of the company. The latter
are said to have been the largest single
offices in the United States, more than 500
employees working on one of the floors in a
single room. The cause of the fire is not
known. but 1t was discovered near the en-
gine room. 1t spread rapidly through
the building that 1t was found impossible to
save anything in the structure.
The first arrivals of the fire department
were unable 10 check the fire, and repeated
calls were sent in for assistance, but all the
engines that the department could gather
were not able TO prevent the destruction of
the building. Within an hour after the
fire was discovered the building was ruined,
although it continued to blaze for a long
time.
The burned building adjoined portions of
the plants Of Armour & Co. and Libby, Nc
Neil & Libby, and for time the fre de-
partment had a desperate fight to keep
these buildings from the flames. The wind
was blowing strong from the southwest,
and at times the flames were reaching the
side Of Armours building, but the firemen
managed TO confne the fire to the building
in which it had broken out. All the books
and Office records of Swift & Co. were in the
building, but they are thought to be safe,
as they were in fre-proof vaults.
w j. McGonigle, the superintendent of
the plant said tonight that the loss will
aggregate fully 100000. There were. he
said $3.50 beeves in the building and great
quantities of green hides and tallow. The
general supplies of the company were
stored In the meat market and in the cell
lars. and, everything in and about the
building was destroyed.
Superintendent McGonigle telephoned to
Mr.. Swift who was at his country home
near Lake Geneva, that the loss would be
about $500 600, a fire wall having saved a
portion of the building The insurance car
ried by the company will cover all losses.

FATE OF ANDRE RELATED
HE AND HIS COMPANIONS WE'RE
KILLED BY ESKIMOs.
Authentic Report of the Landing of
the Explorer i'm the Far North
west and of the Massacre.

CHICAGO, July 5.-A special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Winnipeg says:
The Rev. DR.. Ferries, a Church of Eng
lang clergyman, arrived from York Fac
tory, Northwest Territory, to-day and
brings authentic information of the fate of
Explorer Andre and his companions.
Two years ago, 1,SOO miles north of York,
a party of Eskimos under the leadership
Of "Old Huskie" saw the Andre balloon
alight on a plain of snow in that vicinity
which is about two miles north of Fort
Churchill. Three men emerged from the
balloon, and some Of "Huskies" people
approached them out of curiosity
AS they did so one of Andres compan-
ions fired off a gun. This is a signal to
uncivilized natives for battle. 1t was re-
garded a challenge. and almost instant
ly the natives fell upon the three explorers
and massacred them. Everything pertain
ing 10 their outfit was carried to the homes
of the natives on the borders of the arctic
region.
"Old Huskie' himself gave this informa-
ton TO Ralph Sistine. agent for the Hud-
son Bay Company, and the story, after be-
ing investigated by Dr. Ferlies, was told by
him to-day. He says there is little room
for doubt. as frequent reports have since
come of the strange implements which the
north natives have in their possession, the
telescope being particularly described
The Hudson Bay Company has recently
offered a reward for the recovery of any
portion of the outfit belonging to Andre
and. though natives have gone on the
search for them, they have never returned
believing, as the Rev. DR.. Ferlies saws
that they will in some way be punished
for they now understand that it was not
attack upon them, but an accident by
which the gun was discharged that precip-
itated the massacre.

"A feature of the opinions expressed in

PHONES AID IN WOLF HUNT.
Hue and Cry of the Beasts over the
Wires Summons Farmers and One
of the Brutes liz Killed,

Rural telephones were put to a new
use in the country northwest of Aus
rora, H., the other day, when the hue
and cry for a wolf hunt went over the
wires and brought farmers out of
their houses to scour the woods.
zLarge timber wolves have been roam
ing between Nelson's Lake and Sugar
Grove for some months past. Seven
teen pigs have been slaughtered and
carried away>cn the Savoy farm, and
numerous losses have been reported
in pet stock. Efforts of the farmers
TO shoot or trap the wolves failed.
The other day, when Jacob Beck, a
farmer, stepped from his barn he came
face to face with one of the animals.
He ran to the house to get his gun, but
The wolf by THAT time was fleeing clown
the road. Beck ran to his telephone
and notified all the farmers living in
the directiontaken by the wolf. The
result was that the woods for a stretch
of several miles were swarming with
hunters and dogs. and after an eXcit.
ing chase the beast was run to bay and
killed i'll Harry Bliss timber.

NAVY PLANS.
Joint Maneuvers to Take Place
Some Time Next August.
The First Line OF Defense Of New
York City to he Made the Point
Of AttaclS by the Navy with
Army ON tile Defensive.

Army officers are hard atswork on
the programme for joint military and
naval maneuYers next August. The
conditions Of war will be simulated as
far as possible, and for these reasons
the details Mhichthe services engaged
will work out before the maneuvers
take place WILDE kept secret as far as
possible.
The general plan of the maneuvers
provide for naval operation against
the first line of defensesof New York
city, in The vicinity of the@eastern end
of Long Island sound. The points
which the naval force during the
maneuyers will endeavor to pass or
capture are the defenses known as the
New London group, which consists of
Forts Mansfield, Mitchie and Terry.
1t is contemplated that a simultane-
Gus attack will be made against the
line of defense and against the de-
lenses ofNaragansett bay, which con-
sist of Forts Adams, Greble and
Wetherill, and possibly against Fort
Rodman, which commands the en-
trance to Buzzard's bay and the Har-
Dor of New Bedford.
The purpose of the attempt to take
Narragansett bay is to secure a naval
base for future operations against
New York. Upon the failure of this
attempt efforts will be made to pass
Fort Rodiman and secure Buzzard's bay
for the same purpose.
Two artillery districts and an indie
pendent element will be involvedi in the
defense. One district will consist of
the New London group of fortified
tionss and the Narragansett bay fortiti-
cations will constitute the other, while
Fort Rodman will be an independent
command.
Preparations are being made by the
signal corps of the army for establish
ing connections betweenthe command
ing officers of the artillery districts
and the various defensive units of his
district, for the purposes Of fire con
troll and for other purposes. This com,
munication will be preferably by sub.
marine cable. practically all of which
is yet to be laid. The two artillery dis
tricts and Fort Rodman will commune

NATIONAL RIFLE CLUBS.
rlnn of the War department for En-.
courngement of the Use of Guns
by American Citizens.

Secretary Root had a conference
the other day with several national
guard officers in regard to a project
for the formation of national rifle
clubs. The plan as yet is incomplete,
but will probably be worked out with
in a few days and a bill presented in
ngr providing for an annual APP
preparation for their maintenance.
The plan contemplates the organiza-
ton of rifle clubs throughout the
country, and an allotment of ammu-
milton to the clubs, rifles to the
members, and the establishment of
national ranges, where the members
may have rifle practice.
1t is desired to form the clubs OF
men who have not time to devote to
a regular organized national guard,
and who do not a r to participate
in the ordinary militia drill. 1t is
proposed, also, to have records kept
at the war department. of the state
of efficiency of the clubs, so that the
secretary of war will always have at
| hand information as to what the
clubs are accomplishing in the work
of instructing citizens in target
practice.

Col. Jordan had no superiors, and
his services in that capacity and as

President Arthur, who made him a
colonel in the regular army without

Sioux by a satisfactory interview
with Yellow Bear in 1850, he was
