MANY FAMILIES HOMELESS.
About Fifty Kansas City Dwellings -
Are Destroyed by Fire.

KANSAS CITY. April pa destructive
fire visited the southwestern part OF this
city to-day laying waste a section of dwell
ing houses almost a quarter of mile long
and block wide, and doing damage TO the
amount of 1900. John Slime. of Quincy.
H., a spectator, was seriously injured by a
falling piece of iron. and Edward Bennett,
a fireman, was overcome by heat.
L he burned district is bounded by Twen-
ty-fourth, Twenty-ffth. Fairmount and
Jarboe streets About fifty dwelling houses
were destroyed and sixty or more families
were rendered homeless. A high wind.
amounting almost TO gale. was blowing
anu the flames spread with alarming rapid
ity. Because OF a mistake in the alarm sent
in the arrival of the hremen was delayed
and the fire had gained much headway be-
fore they commenced operations.
The fire started in a grocery store and
ried by the strong wind up steep hill.
making the work of the firemen extremely
difficult. Burning embers were blown more
than half a mile and for time all OF that
portion Of the city was threatened After
three hours Of hard lighting the fire was
under control. Many persons lost all of
their belongings. Much furniture and other
property was destroyed after having been
piled in supposed places Of safety.
Most OF the residents who suffered loss
are poor. Those who need assistance are
being cared for temporarily by neighbors
and charitable institutions.

Texas City Suffers Loss of Fully
S37o, 900 and Several Serious Cas-
uaIties Are Reported.
KANSAS CITIZENS HOMELESS
FIFTY DWELLINGS DESTROYED,
WITH A Loss OF ABOUT $4,000.
Cincinnati Brewery Damaged $780,
OOO-Many Men Made Idle at Joliet
Fatalities in London.

DALLAS, Tex, April 2O-Two persons
fatally injured. Fire Chief Magee pros
trated and property loss of fully $4,000
is the result of several fires which occurred
shortly after 3 o'clock this morning. At
that hour an alarm was turned in from
the Dorsey printing establishment, on
lower Elm street, and in a short time one
of the fercest conflagrations which has
visited Dallas in years was in progress.
To add to the troubles of the firemen sew
eral other alarms from different parts of
the city were turned in in quick success
sion. After fighting the fire for two hours
Chief Magee was prostrated and command
was turned over to an assistant. The chief
was rescued from the flames by the police
and was unconscious for several hours, but
is now reported out of danger. Fireman
Will Spur was struck in the face with a
brick and. it is said, fatally injured. The
young son of Fire Chief Magee was found
on the floor of the engine room at the Cen
trail station with a fractured skull. 1t is
supposed that the lad attempted to slide
from the bunkroom to the engine room on
one of the iron poles used by the firemen,
and fell to the floor below. He will prob
ably die.
The Dorsey Printing Company was de-
stroyed, the loss being about 100000 So far
as learned this loss is one-half covered by
insurance.
While the Dorsey fire was in progress a
fire broke out on Lamar street, near Col
lin and twenty buildings were destroyed.
Half of them were ordinary business places
and the rest boarding houses and dwell
ings. The Griffith Lumber Company is
one Of the principal losses in that part OF
the city, where it is estimated the losses
will aggregate $4,000, Of which Griffith &
Co suffer $4,000, with insurance of $500
The loss of the Heating Implement Com
pany is heavy but is not accurately known.
About dozen smaller mercantile and man
ufacturng establishments were destroyed
the losses ranging from $4,000 down.
While the two big fires were raging a
third broke out in the residence district OF
Fisher lane, in South Dallas, two miles dis
tant. which destroyed four cottages, worth
$50, 900, and insurance on which cannot be
obtained tonight
Insurance men are positive that the fire
on Fisher lane was incendiary, and the po-
lice and fire department strongly in
clined 10 believe that all were due to in
cendiarieS.

He Went at Once TO His Residence on
Park Avenue, Where He Spent
the Night.
TALKS ABOUT AN ARMY POST
HE is OF OPINION THAT ONE WILL
BE LOCATED NEAR CITY.
Many Things Before Congress That
Require the Careful Consideration
of Members.

Senator Charles w. Fairbanks arrived
home from Washington yesterday TO at
tend the State convention. He had engaged
rooms at the Denison Hotel but will not
occupy them all the time while here. On
arriving yesterday the senator went di-
rectly to his home on Park avenue and re-
mained there last night. He will divide his
time between his residence and the Denison
Hotel. The senator is in fine health and
says he has not been sick since his attack
of grip last winter.
Senator Fairbanks is of opinion that In
dianapolis will secure the big army post
which the government is about to estab-
llsn account of the coming home of
troops from Cuba and the Philippines. The
secretary of war has submitted TO Sena-
tor Hawley, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on military affairs. an amendment
authorizing and directing the secretary of
war to sell at public sale the arsenal
grounds at Indianapolis and use the pro-
ceeds for the purchase of other lands near
this city to be used as military post. The
amendment also provides for the construc-
ton of buildings on these grounds. Senator
Fairbanks has documents bearing on the
matter in his possession, including a COPY
of the amendment.
THE return of troops from Cuba and the
Philippines makes an additional post
necessary" said the senator. THE present
indications are that the amendment will
have favorable consideration. If it is
adopted it will result m the establishing of
an army post within easy access of this
city. The department contemplates the pur-
chase of some 500 acres of land within five
or six miles of the city. OF course, this
would make a most admirable site for a
post"
Speaking of the work of Congress in gen.
eral Senator Fairbanks said: There is a
disposition the part of Congress to ex-
pedite business with the view of an ad-
journment in June, but the number of i'm
portant matters that remain for considera-
ton render it difficult to predict at this
time just when adjournment will occur.
The Philippine bill, the canal bill and reci-
procity with Cuba are among the important
subjects outside of the appropriation bill.
The canal bill will lead to considerable
controversy, as there is a divergence of
views as TO whether the Nicaragua or Pan
] anna routes should be adopted. The genera,
desire is that we may be able TO agree
upon measure so that the construction
of the canal may be begun
Senator Fairbanks says it looks now as
! If Indiana would before long secure
her war claim 1.-The action of Congress
/ and the decision of the controller of the
] treasury" said he, have paved the way
/ ing TO see this large claim returned to the
/ treasury Of the State"
