THE FIRE A STUBBORN ONE
Chicago Firemen Have a Most
Peculiar Fire to Fight. e
The s~chwarzchiid &
Beef Storage House IRE at the
Chicago stock Yards.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Despite the united
efforts of the greater portion OF the
fire department of Chicago, the fire
which broke out Sunday night in the
beef storage department of Schwarz-
schild & Sulzberger packing plant at
the stockyards is still burning. During
Monday, 80 firemen and helpers were
overcome by smoke, heat and am
monia gas. All of the men were res
cued, however, and none will die from
the effects of the gas. The loss to the
packing company on the building and
beef stores in the place, which has
been damaged by smoke, is estimated
at $500, 1000.
Chief Fire Marshal Campion de-
clared that the fire was the worst he
has ever tried to subdue, because Of
the difficulty in finding the blaze.
At midnight, 80 hours after the fire
had been discovered, the firemen
caught the first glimpse of the flames
that they had been fighting so long.
The fire, as yet being beyond control,
filled the interior of the structure and
the adjoining building, a large re-
finery, separated by a supposedly fire.
proof wall. is in immediate danger. As
soon as the flames were discovered
extra engines were hurried to the
scene, as it was feared that the fire
might get beyond the control of the
fremen.
Smoke has penetrated the lard re-
fnery, and it is feared the flames will,
soon follow.

DIPLOMACY AND LITERATURE
The President Pays Much Attention
to the Journalistic Fitness
Of Appointees.

An administration headed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt is bound to possess a de-
cided literary flavor. Certainly it is no
mean achievement, in the spare mo-
ments of cow-punchfng, hunting, SOL
dier:ng and service in public office, to
have tossed off twenty-odd volumes and
to have had them read.
That the president should exercise the
power of attraction over lesser literary
luminaries is only in accordance with
the laws of nature, says the New York
World. Though Secretary Hay regards
the ballads of "Jim Bludso' and tom
Taggart' as youthful indiscretions, they
assure him considerable space in the
popular collections Of verse. To be sure,
Judge Albion w. T%ourgee, of "a Fools
Errand" fame, who dispatches delight
full disquisitions on mushrooms and
mixed wines from the Bordeaux consul
late, is a legacy from the Mckinley
! regime. And Pension Commissioner
| Ware may be stricken from the account
| He does not think well enough of his
verses to sell them and is retiring from
Office.
But for one who goes there are severa
newcomers. No Motley or Bancroft o.
Lowell has yet been nominated to thu
court of st. James's, and no Hawthorne
put on consular duty at Liverpool a.
Bret Harte was at Glasgow. Still thu
president has within n week hat
James Jeffrey Roche confirmed as con
sui at Genoa, George Horton at Athen
and w. H. H. Bishop at Palermo, and
long waiting list Of authors is said to b
on file
According to indications, the roya
road to diplomacy will lie through tn
narrow gates Of the publication houses
and a certificate from the %circulatin
libraries will avail more than a power
