FIRE IN CUDAHY PLANT.
Flames Cause Loss Of $4,000. Cow
cred by Insurance.


Omaha, Aug. 21.-Fire originating
the Cudahy Packing company's plant
at South Omaha at noon caused loss
Of $150,000 to the Cudahy property
and less than $4,000 to the Union stock
yards. The loss is fully covered by
insurance.
> In the Cudahy plant the departments
destroyed or damaged embrace an
area Of 375 by 175 feet. The car shop
Is total loss as are the lumber and
supply yards. Two storage rooms and
the car icing shed were partially de-
stroyed. The damage to the machine
shop is uncertain, the building is of
fire proof construction but the ma
chinery is believed to have been Sc
riously damaged.
In the Union stock yards the flames
were confined to small area, includ-
ing four hog sheds.
The origin Of the fire is believed to
have been in waste pile which may
have been ignited spontaneously. The
wind was blowing from the south at
forty-mile rate, directly toward the
new $4,000 sheep barns of the Union
Stock Yards company, and it was with
difficulty the latter were saved.
A peculiar coincidence occurred
when another fire started at another
point in the stock yards district while
the larger fire was burning. This is
the third fire within a week in the dis
trict, the first Of which partially de.
stroyed the L street viaduct last We'd
nesday. This viaduct is the property
of the Union Stock Yards company.

BRYAN RETORTS.
Commoner Returns to the Attack o
UnderWood's Uqly Record.

Commoner Returns to the Attack OF
Underwood's Ugly Record.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 19.-In the cur
rent issue of the Commoner w. j.
Bryan again takes up the Underwood
incident. Referring to the Congress
sional Record containing the speeches
of Underwood and Kitchin, Bryan con.
tinues:
First, both ask for Mr.. Bryan's au-
thority. Mr.. Bryan has given it, the
Omaha WorldHerald, owned by Sen.
ator Hitchcock
Second, Mr.. Kitchin admits making
the speech attributed to him. He ex.
presses surprise that democrat would
use it. That is the partisan view, that
it is proper to criticise an opponent
but improper to criticise one of your
own party. Mr.. Kitchin is now con.
vinced that Mr.. Underwood was right
reducing the iron and steel schedules
Mr. Bryan is not convinced. The &C
ton of the senate on other bills should
have no influence on the house pro-
gram. There is no good reason why
| the house should not proceed to re-
port bills as long as it is in session.
the more the better.
But the most notable thing about
Mr.. Underwood's speech is that it
does not meet the real point at issue
Did some one offer resolution in.
structing the committee to proceed
to report other bills and did Mr.. In.
derwood oppose to defeat it. The
World-Herald dispatch says he did
and that is the basis of Mr.. Bryan's
criticism. Mr.. Underwood admits that
some one offered such a resolution
and that he opposed it. Did Mr.. Clark
offer or support such a resolution? If
| so, why did Mr.. Underwood not SC
state? If Mr.. Clark did not introduce
or support such resolution, why did
Mr.. Underwood not specifically deny
| the report?
"The fact that in the beginning he
asked for immediate reduction on iron
and steel has weight but it does not
outweigh his opposition to immediate
reduction now. His reasons for his
present attitude are proper subjects
for discussion.
Finally it will be notlced that he
did not answer the criticism of the
secret caucus. Does he stand fol
dark lantern methods? Does he be
lieve that members should be per
mitted to hide behind a caucus which
furnishes no record vote as a mem
Der of congress?
"Mr. Underwood can avail himself
of his personal privilege to denounc'
a criticism but his explanation does
not explain If Mr.. Underwood's an
swer is satisfactory to the democratic
members of congress Mr.. Bryan ap
peals from their judgment to the judg
ment Of their constituents"
