ON THE LITTLE sUNFLowER.
The President Had 3 Sunday Dinner inCsmp
OF Roast Bear Paws. Postum
and 'Taters.

Smedes, Miss. Nov. 17.-Sunday wns
4 quiet day at the presidents camp on
the Little Sunfiower. There was no
hunt, but the president and several
members of the party spent a couple
of hours in the morning rambling
over the forest trails on their horses.
Dinner was the chief event of the day.
The menu included roast bear paws
and 'possum. and sweet potatoes. Dim
e was served in camp style on a
rough pine board table set up in the
open air. Tin plates and tin cups were
used. There were not enough knives
and forks to go around, and the col
ored cook announced to the amuse-
ment Of everybody, ase the party sat
down, that on account of the scarcity
of the articles he had distributed
them only to the colonel" (as the
president is invariably called in camp
and the foreign gentlemen"
The president is enjoying his out
ing very much. He has not had three
days of such complete freedom and
rest since he entered the White House.
The insurgent newspaper men re-
turned to the assault Sunday. Hav-
ing been repulsed IN the land side
by Mr.. Mangum's pickets, they re-
solved to try to effect an entry to the
camp by the water route. A boat was
chartered at Vicksburg, according to
the story in circulation here, and it
was reported to have left that place
at three o'clock Sunday morning. The
route of the expedition is to be up
the Mississippi to the mouth of the
Yazoo, thence up the latter river to
the Big S%unfower. The distance, owing
to the twists and bends in the river,
is over forty miles, but if the party
started it did not reach its destina-
ton. The river men say there is now
4 sand bar at the mouth of the Yazoo
which would stop any craft drawing
over - inches.
The Chicago party which is hunting
with Bob Bobo's pack of hounds 70
miles north of here is reported to have
had better luck than the presidents
party, according to a message re-
ceived here. The party during the
last week bagged II deer and four
bears. Holt Golfers dander is up,
and he VOWS that the colonel will
not go home empty handed. His dogs
had a good rest Sunday, and will be
in fine condition to resume the chase.
The weather, however, is not favora-
BILE. 1t has turned colder and rain is
falling.
A report circulated among the col
ored people that the president was
going tx Smedes, Sunday, attracted
about a thousand negroes, to the sta
ton. They waited here until dark be-
fore they would be convinced that the
report was incorrect.

PLANT BURNED
A Monster Barbecue at Armour q
Co.'s Packing Plant in Sioux
City, Iowa.
LOSS OF HEARLYA MILLION DOLLARS.
/ Grand Spectacle, Accumulated by Terrific
Explosions Of Drums of Ammonia and
the SQueals of Frightened Hogs-Ths
Fire Department Inadequate and Help

Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 17.-Armour q
Co.'s packing plant, which occupied
four acres of the stock yards and was
valued at 100000, was totally de-
stroyed, early Sunday morning, by a
FIRE which started on the second floor
of the fertilizer building, and is
thought by Manager Lennon to have
been due either to spontaneous COM
bustion or to an imperfect dryer. The
loss is partly covered by $721,5Oo in
urance Six hundred men are thrown
out of employment by the FIRE.
Within an hour after the fire was
discovered by a Waterman six streams
of water were being thrown upon the
fire, which was cutting the fertilizer
building, which was 100 by GO feet
and four stories high, but the pres
sure was inadequate. The floors and
contents of the building burned like
chaU. The roof soon fell and the
fire burst through into the beef-kill-
ing house.
A Terrific Explosion.
At the same time the cattle chute
ignited and in five minutes fell with
a crash. Once in the beef-killina
house the flames began to dance mad
ly. From this house to the oleo build
ing was but a step, and when the oils
started to burn the fire presented a
most spectacular appearance. The
big beef horse, containing 500 car
casses, next caught fire, and the
whole plant, except the hog house
was a lake of fire. The roar was ter
rible. The country for miles around
was lighted up. Suddenly there was &
terrific defamation, followed quickl,
by another, and then another. TWEEN
ty-four drums, containing 100 pounds
of ammonia each, exploded before the
reserve supply in the ammonia els
tern was reached. That explosion at
most RACED the entire plant. The
flames were blown through the fire
wall which separated the hog ,iors'
from the other buildings. The hog
house contained $500 dressed hog.
and 2,5oo,0o0 pounds of pork products
Steadily the fire crept against The
wind and through the office building
Not a scrap of paper was saved.
Live Hogs Add Their SGueals.
When the last of the ammonis
drums was going off a burning chute
fell upon a bunch of live hogs, ant
their squeals were added to the ap
palling chorus. After the fire got
good Roadway in the hog house, thu
shops, chicken packing plant, ic'
houses snd ice rnnways and smalleI
department houses were consumed il
quick succession. The terrible roar
ing continued upabated, the lngl
brick walls crumbled and crashed
one by one, and the confiagratiul
gradually ate it's way through build
ing after building.
The fire department "a helpless
as its apparatus was inadequate. Th'
pressure vas hardly strong enougl
to throw water to the roof of tn
pork house. When the walls of hi
department burst the firemen playrt
their streams on the out-buildings I'M
til daylight.
The fire burned all day, and Sunda.
afternoon there was another terrifi
explosion, which threw bricks an
pieces of iron for hundreds of yarls
No one was hurt.
