FATAL CHICAGO FIRE.
Big Glucose Factory Burned !: Loss
IL 100000.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. ~. - Five mer
are known to have lost their lives in
fire which partly destroyed the plant
OF the Chicago branch Of the Glucose
Sugar Refining company, situated Al
Taylor street and the Chicago river.
The list Of the dead will certainly BIZ
much gearter than five and may reach
as high as 80. The estimates run all
the way from that number down TO 10.
The fire broke out with an explosion
in the drying house, which is seven
stories in height and stands close 10 the
main building Of the plant which is il
stories high. A third structure is -four
stories high The two smaller build.
ings were destroyed and the larger
building was badly damaged. The
fire spread after the explosion with
such rapidity that it was impossible
for the men in the upper stories Of the
drying house to make their escapes,
and it is the number Of men believed
10 have been at work on the seventh
flor that causes the uncertainty In the
list Of dead. Some Of the employees
who made their escape say there wer
20 or 80 and other say there were not
more than 10 at work when the fire
broke out. Whatever the number, all
are dead
-Four men leaped from the upper
floors and all met death. The fifth in
the list Of dead is an electrician, who
is known to have entered the building
and was there at the time Of the fire.
He is suppose TO be dead for the reason
that all the laborers about the burned
building say that no man made his es-
cape from the upper floors.
Secretary Glass Of the refining COM
pany says that he estimate the loss at
$500, 900.
The men on the seventh floor had no
chance whatever for their lives.
Several of them left the windows and
crawled along the sills in an effort to
reach place Of safety but with the ex-
ception Of two men all those who at
tempted to reach safety in this way
made up their minds that it was GER
tain death and went back into the burn
ing building.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct 81. Just as

ST. Paul, MINI. Oct 21.-President
J. j. Hill has issud the Great Northern
report. There was q comparatively
small reduction in the average revenue
per ton per mile, the reduction being
1877 per cent on the per ton miIaRe.
The earnings Of the passenger trains i'm
crease 81 1851, O09l, or 29.54 per cent,
OF which 81, 752, S42 came from passan-
ger fares, 500, 272 from sleeping cars,
$500 from transportation Of mails,
S6S, lob from transportation Of express
and the remainder from miscellaneous
sources.
Gross earnings for 1902 are $50 ,O32, :
256, operating expenses &17, 7s9, 164,
net earnings SIS, 243 ,O9l, taxes 81 ,239,-
09l. The income from operation was
sl7, O03, 1897. Concerning the future
prospects Of the system Mr.. Hill says
the indications are that the year ending
June 30. 1908, will show a large in
crease Of earnings over the year just
ended.
The cOmpany's earnings have nearly
doubled in the past six years. For the
fiscal year ended June so, 1895, its
gross earnings were &2I, sI9, 699; its
operating expenses for that year were
fll 1915, ll5, and its net earnings So
s44, 5S3
Some idea of the resent great profits
Of the system may be had from the fact
that in 1895. after the company had
paid the interest on its funded debt,
taxes, the guaranteed dividend on St. p.
n. d NJ stock and per cent divi-
dend on Great Northern stock, there
remained q surplus from the net earn
ings that year Of 81, $50, I26.
1t has been definitely decided that
the Oregon Short Line will biuld ana
operate on the Pacific ocean at least
one line Of oriental steamers and a
coasting service as great as the traffic
may demand The headquarters Of the
service viii be at Portland, Oregon.
and it is thought possible that another
port on the coast will be opened TO this
navigation in the near future.
The Oregon Short Line has funds
now in sight sufficient to put the road
in condition to handle the traffic Incl
dental to scuh service as that contem-
plated, and no efforts will be spared to
make the Oregon route TO the coast as
serviceable in every way as that Of the
northern roads at the present time
The project includes coasting lines to-
gather the trade of the Pacific coast
from Mexico to Alaska.
Owing to the heavy passenger traffic
