AT BALDWIN W'Ks
Greatest Locomotive Plant in the
United States Has Very
Close Call.
-FOUR MEN WERE INJURED

PHILADELPHIA, PA, January %
Fire, which started with an explosion
in the paint shop destroyed one en-
tire section of the big Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works Tonight, entailing Il loss of
$1,000
The destroyed building is about 175 feet
long by 100 deep, facing on Spring Garden
Street, and Immediately adjoining the
main office at the corner of Broad and
Spring Garden Streets and the erecting
shops, smith shops and foundries on the
south. These buildings were threatened
with destruction, as We're Others IN the
rear of the destroyed building along
Spring Garden Street and on Fifteenth
street, and the entire fire department. was
called out to fight the flames.
About 1000 men were employed in tho
burned building, which was five stories
high.
The fire was discovered in the east
end of the building, adjoining the main
office building, when the workers We're
preparing to leave, and though the
flames spread quickly, all We're able to
get ont safely. Shortly after the fire
started the upper portion of the wall
on Spring Garden Street fell into the
street. and one fireman and three
workmen were caught by the falling
bricks, but fortunately received only
slight injuries. The firemen, with the
assistance of tho fire patrol from the
plant, succeeded in getting the flames
under control within an hour after the
fire was discovered.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works is the
largest industrial plant In the United
states, and employees $4,000 men in this
city and nearly 10000 men In depart
ments at Lewiston and other places.
John III. Converse, president of Burn
ham, Williams & Company. which
operates the Baldwin plant. said that the
loss would reach probably $l,OoO,Ooo,
fully covered By insurance. The 1000
men employed in the burned building,
he said would be immediately put TO
work in other departments. The fire, he
added. would not greatly hinder work, as

WAS THE WORST
ROW HE EVER SAW
This Is What Governor Swanson
Says About Fiery Incident al
the Gridiron Club.
ROOSEVELT MAY RUN AGAIN

ss.'I never before witnessed such row
in all my life.' said Governor Claude A..
Swanson yesterday referring to tho
fiery colloquy between President Roose-
Welt and Senator Joseph b. Foraker at
the famous Grtdiron dinner in Washing
ton Saturday night, at which His EN-
cellency was a guest.
The Governor entered into no elaborate
details concerning the affair, and prob
ably would not have referred to it at
all except for the fact that tho whole
has .'leakcd out" and is the chief
topic Of conversation. in nearly every
gathering where the subject of national
politics is brought up.
1t must h' been fierce Tho Gov
ernor says was, and tho Governor
knows for in his long public career In
Congress and on the stump In Virginia
and elsewhere he has had ample OPP
portunity to Judge of the strenuositt OF
wordy battles
A Chilling Effect.
There is one thing which, as a prob
able result of the spirited and bitter
controversy between the President and
n prominent Senator of the United
States, is impressng itself strongly upon
the people, and this is that Mr.. Roose-
velt's pride and ire have aroused
10 such an extent that he will almost
surely reconsider his former determina-
ton and stand for the presidency again.
This feeling is widespread among local
Democrats, - it comes with a dam
pening inhuer for with the President
out OF the race 10 hopes of the Demo-
cracy for nationa& success in 90S are at
once strengthened.
AS much as the Democratic party
seems TO be Handicapped by internal
discord and the lack OF official prestige
and patronage at Washington, there arc
many good Judges of the national poltl-
cal situation who believe that Roosevelt
Is the only Republican whose name has
been mentioned as the next Republican
nominee who would enter the race With
strong assurances that he could make
his calling and election sure"
But One Considered.
,rhere is but II single name on the
Democratic lists upon which thcrc
seems to be any hope of unity and
harmony, and that is the name of Wil-
liam j. BRYAN, of Nebraska
Democrats who usually know what
they are talking about. say Bryan can
defeat Fairbanks, or Root, or Taft, or
Foraker but when the possibility OF
.Roosevelt's candidacy for another term
Is mentioned, they shake their beads
grayely,
lf tho President does not actually
run again, 1t Is believed that his bitter
debate with his nvowed enemy, sena-
tor Foraker, Saturday night, will keep
him thinking a long time before he
1nally determines not to make the race,

Finished Severe
ly Lecturing
Him.

WASHINGTON, d. C.. January. ee.-It
is not often that a single object affords
tho topic for general gossip In Washing
ton for as much as two days at a time,
but the joint debate between the Presl-
dent and Senator Foraker at the Grid
iron Club banquet Saturday night. abso-
lutciy unique in history. was as much
tho prevailing subject of discussion here
to-day as it was on yesterday. The
club, which has always succeeded in pre-
venting the publication OF speeches made
at the annual dinners by the most dis
tinguished men in the country. is nat
ura!ly trying to discourage further pub
lication concerning the encounter between
President Roosevelt and the fighting Ohtn
senator, and seeking to discredit the nc-
curacy OF the accounts which have been
printed.
Inc story which was published in The
Iflnes-Dispatch this morning was tr,,e
IN every particular. although lacking in
scme details. It's accuracy was confirmed
to-day BY a man who was n rnes, ~
the dinner, and who at first enjoyed. and
later deplored. the Incident.
1t was plain after the President had
spoken but few minutes that there
would be clash. The audacity o. the
utterances of the President excited the
applause OF his hearers. but they knew
that the fiery Senator from Ohio would
rot allow to go unanswered the startling
statements Mr. Roosevelt was making.
When Mr.. Roosevelt sat down there
was round of hearty applause, and this
was renewed when Samuel g. Blythe.

and president Of the club, called on

Liable to Be a Second TO

If you should fail to find any tele
graph news IN The Leader tomorrow
or the next morning it will be due to
thu telegraph operators strike. Up
to last night were advised that the
American Press association people
were at work but there is re telling
when they will quit.
Local men who have been keeping
close watch of the strike believe that
the worst is yet to come and fear
that, before the trouble is over, the
country will experience the greatest
industrial war since the A 4. U.
strike in 1894. The next move anti
cipated is the walkout of the railway
telegraph operators. Many of these
belong to the Order of Railroad Tele-
graph Operators which. is affiliated
with the Commercial Telegraphers of
America, to which the commercial and
press operators belong. In small
towns the railroad and the commercial
operator is the Same person and it is
expected if attempts are made to con-
duct commercial business over the
railroad wires, the railroad operators
may be called out.

alarm yesterday on the part of j. N.

the erection of the Van Camp conden-

the junction. 1t developed that there
is new law requiring that factor
les be erected six feet from railway
tracks, also that the colnice be no less
than 22a feet high. The trenches for
the foundation had been dug and some
of the concrete foundation already
laid. There was a fear that the work
had rot been started right and in
conformity with the new law, but
investigation proved that every thing
was according to Hoyle" and the
contractor last evening gave sigh of
relief. MIR. Mellikan Informed a

that the work of laying brick would
