THE WHITE CITY BURNED All the Main Buildings of the World’s Fair, Except Five Destroyed. Chicago, Il., July 5.—All the | of two persons, man and wife, was raain buildings of the world’s fair, except the horticultural building, the women’s building, the art palace | the machinery ball and tbe United States government building, were al- most entirely burned to-night. They were the property of the Co- lumbixn Exposition Salvage compa ny and had been purchased for about $90,009. The fire was discovered this even- ing by several boys in the south western corner of the first door of the terminal station. Whea first seen it was but an incipient blaze and the boys tried to stamp it out They were un euccessful, however, as the fierce gale was then blowing from the southwest fanned the fire. Before an alarm could be turned in the fire had reached the second story of the building. Owing to the distance which separated most of the engine companies from the scene of the fire there was considerable delay in get ting a stream of water the blazing structure. The first alarm was immediately followed by a 3.11 call, and this by a special cull for ten engines. By the time the first detachment of engines was fully at work the terminal sta tion was a mass of flames and the tire had leaped across te the admin istration building. In twenty miu- utes the dome of the beautiful structure fell with a terrible and sparks and blazing b auds were carried by the wind north and north east to the Mining, Electricity aad Agricultural buildings. The Elec tricity was the first to take fire. In afew minutes it was enveloped in flames and at 7:10 o’clock the glass roof collapsed and the iron frame work of the structure fell in. At 7:15 o’clock the east end of the Mining building fell in and flames became so fierce that engine com panies stationed between the Elec tricity and Mining buildings had to fly for their lives. Engine company 18 was forced to abandon their en- gine nud had scarcely time to cut the horses from the traces. One of the animals succeeded in getting away, but the other was suffocated. Several hundred feet of hose was also burned. The fire was communicated almost simultaneously to the Transporta- tion, the Manufacturing and Agri- cultural buildings. By hard work, however, the firemen succeeded in saving the greater part of the Trans- portation building, but the other two buildings were soon enveloped in flames and by 9 o'clock the last of the frame work of each had fallen in. When the firemen first reached the spot an engine was detailed to prevent the fire from communicating with the Machinery hall. successful, but immense structures, for several minutes upon roar For some time the effort was with the four the Terminal building, the Electrical and the Administration building, on tire ui the same time, the came so intense that Machinery hall heat be was ignited also. An unknown man was burned to death. He, with a companion, was standing upon one of the conduits through which power is transmitted from Electrical building to MacMon- | nies fountain. The roof of the con- duit, which was burning inside, caved in, letting both men into the flames. One of them was burned to death and the other so badly that be} may die.

Chicago, Il, July 5.—General Miles, speaking of the obstructive tacties of the strikers and their sym- pathizers at the stock yards and railroads: said: “Those men don't seem to realize how close to death they are wher they attempt to stop a train and harass the troops. That bloodshed has not yet taken place is due to the extraordinary coolness of the men and them wonderful self) }control.

Fifty of those soldiers could mow down 2,000 people in a few winutes.
