FIRE IN CHICAGO.
Flames Do Damage in Lumber District
to Extent of Over s35o,ooo-


Chicago Feb. n.-At / O'Clock this morn
ing serious fire broke out in the lumber
district. The fire started in the factory
Of the Wilce Lumber company and occu1
pied by the Chicago Table company, at
Twenty-frst and Allhort streets. Tho
flames spread through the factory with
grea. rapidity, and it was soon evident
that the greater part of the factory was
doomed unless additional help was Sc
cured. A special call was sent for addi-
tional help, but before 1t had arrived the
flames, driven by a high wind from the
east, had spread through the block from
Allhort street to Throop street and had
leaped across the latter thoroughfare and
had attacked the box factory of j. j..
Wintermeyer.
The department was unable to check it
here, and additional calls were sent for
more engines.
From the plant of the Wintermeyer COM
pany the flames spread to the establish
ment of the Chicago Picture Backing COM
pany, which adjoins 1t on the west. and
this place was soon in flames. The lum-
Der yard of H. c. Schultz, on Throop
street, was attacked ty the flames, but
after a hard fight the flremen succeeded in
checking its spread. The plants of the
Chicago Table company, the Chicago Pic
ture Backing company and of the Winter
meyer company were completely de-
stroyed. 1t is expected that the loss will
aggregate s35O,0OO.
Two firemen were injured by falling
wall, one Of whom, N. C. Marggraf, will
die.
Shortly after O'Clock another section
of the wall of the Wintermeyer factory
fell, injuring five more firemen. None
OF them was fatally hurt.

MAcHeN ON STAND.
Makes Emphatic Denial of Material
Allegations,

!. Washington. Feb. 1.-THE central
figure in the postal trial, August W..
Machen. former superintendent of the
rural free delivery division, occupied
the stand Tuesday. He said he as
sumed responsibility for the acts of
Miss Liebhardt. his chief clerk, who
had initiated and signed letters from
his division. He rehearsed the oil
transaction which has figured some
what conspicuously in the trial. and
said that the $4,000 received from Lo-
REM in payment of the Machen inter-
est in the oil property was a bona fide
sale.
The Croft fastener. he said, had been
called to the attention of the depart
ment before he received his appoint
ment. He denied emphatically that
up to the time Lorenz In August. 1885,
spoke Of having an interest in the de-
vice he had any suspicion Of the fact,
and was equally emphatic in saying
that neither Mr.. Lorenz nor the Groffs
ever influenced his action, either in
placing the first order for the fasten-
ers or in any subsequent orders.

People Anxious to Stand by the Gov.

In pronrase

st. Petersburg, Feb. e.-The temper
of the people was manifested this
morning after the arrival of news from
Port Arthur, in the crowds of vo1un-
teers who besieged the general staff Of
fees. The naval reserves have been
called out.
The action of the Japanese in at
tacking the Russian fleet without
declaration OF war is denounced as an
outrage by Russians generally, and the
result, instead of discouraging them,
seems to have furnished the spark nec-
essary to fire Russian patriotism.
From the larger centers throughout
European Russia comes information
that the country is already aroused by
the japanese action In breaking OF mr.
gotiations.
