Chief Allison was on the ground to ascer
tain the extent of the damage done In his de
partment and to glvo necessary instructions
to tns employes. Customs officials were busy
looking after the Interests of the deportment
nntl exerting themselves to satisfy the de
sires of exhibitors so far as possible Busi
est of nil was Director of Works Graham ,
who was particularly desirous of doing everything -
thing and of pleasing everyone. IIo worked
hard giving directions nnd answering ques
tions , and seemed to bo in all parts of the
buililingat , once. Colonel Uleo of the Col
umbian guard controlled his forces and per
sonally directed ttiu efforts for the preserva
tion of the exhibits.
Outside upon the grounds had assembled

From the Administration building they had ,

sightseers of the gorgeous scones presented

The work of ascertaining as far ns possi
ble thu extent of damngo done to exhibits
began ntonco. Many boxes will have to bo
opened and their contents repacked. Through
the icy aisles of the big Imildlngllrcmcn and
employes were mingled In apparent con
fusion , but all working toward the restora
tion of order. Hours necessarily passed ,
however , before a majority of the lines of
hose were celled up and removed and the
workmen were given a fairly unimpeded
chance to overhaul the packing cases.
It was ! ! : < ) this morning when the fire ,
though still unoxtlngulshed from a layman's
point of view , was formally struck out ac
cording to lire department usage. The alarm
from the Manufactures building was sent in
at 8 : " " > o'clock the preceding uvonlng , mak
ing the record of the life four minutes moro
than six hours. After the llnal signal was
sent out , the company was still held in duty
in the big building , and a lead of hose was
in readiness for a uronipt attack should
there bo another outbreak. The llamcs had
been thoroughly drowned out , however , and
no moro danger was found. Until daylight
"
n squad of firemen and guards patrolled "tho
building without doing much In the way of
clearing away the wreck. Little real uro-
tress was made , but for u lima every ono
with whom they interfered was made to
glvo way to the liremcn.
Where thn Dumngn Was Demo.
A survey today insldo the building showed
that the greatest damage was done cast and
west , of the center aisle and toward the
southern end. Under the southeast corner
in which the blaze burned most seriously ,
the American musical section was located.
Many of the goods on exhibition had been
removed aud these remaining wore stored in
heavy packing cases. The goods were com
pletely deluged and tno boxes arc soaked
nnd covered with Ice. Two or three inches
oC water cover the floors in the French ,
Belgian and Kus.sian sections , cast of the
center aisle and south of the clock tower.
Kow goods hnvo boon removed from . Ins
section although all are packed. Badly |
soaked and burned cases guvo nn index of
their conditions which was verified when
some of the boxes were oncncd. West of the-
center nlalo , the Knglish pottery section was
Hooded but little damage done , few packing
cases remaining. Embers from the burning
roof foil directly on the Knglhh and Cana
dian sections and streams of water were
turned against tlicm.
North of the clock tower , traces of des
truction gradually disappeared. Less water
was thrown on these quarters and fewer
umbers from the roof fell to the floor. The
northwest section is almost intact. Neither
llamcs nor water reached this corner. The
floors are dry and the root undamaged.
Viewing the building from the outside , the
flm's course is clearly maiKed. On the east
it started in the flfth arch from the south
and burned north nbout GUI ) feet. Across on
on the west line the path of damngo Is not so
wide. Traces of destruction appear about
! 100 feet-from the south frontund the damage
js confined between that point and l&O feet
north.
Doro V o Done 1'or.
Nona of the liullillngs that were destroyed
were Insured. With the transfer of the pro
perty to the Kouth Park commissioners the
policies were allowed to expire. It was not
deemed necessary to carry them any longer ,
nnd hence last night's loss , as fur as the
buildings uro concerned , is total and falls
directly upon the representatives of the
city of Chicago , thu South Park commis
sioners.

Two other heroes were the first firemen to
reach the roof of the Manufactures building ,
Henry Fughs and William Call man of Hook
and Ladder Company No. 10. Tholr experi
ence was ono of trying patience and endur
ance. The flames had already bur.st out In
spots on the east side of the roof nnd were
beginning to burn briskly. Fughs nnd Call-
man oncli sel/.ud n chemical tank nnd began
Iho tiresome ascent lo ttio roof. liut by the
long , narrow oui ido stairway and hamp
ered by their loads ttiolr procrcss.was slow.
At last the roof was reached. Tlio outlines
of their forms stood oat in relief against tlio
red glare that roau from the ruins of Choral
hall , and tlio multitude of pcoplo shouted
their approval of the net of bravery.
Slowly thu two men crept xiown the slippery
roof and with tlioir chemicals ihuy ex
tinguished , us they thougtil , thu little
tongues of flame that were beginning to
make headway.
.Six TlincH ITp la Vain.
Then tney returned to the ground. A
second time tlio llamus burst forth and n
second time the two men. encouraged by the
cheers that wont up from thousands of
tbroals. climbed to the roof withthclr chem
icals. Four moro limes was this tiresome
ascent made and the last trip convinced
them that their efforts were useless.
On tlio roof were many stnndplpcs and a
largo supply of buckets. All lines of hose ,
previously kept there , had been removed ,
but Pughs anil Cnllman tried lo open ttio
stnndpipc" } la the bopo of using tlio buckets.
They succeeded but no water came. It bad
been cut oft and thn buckets were useless.
Then they returned to the ground.-
"Had wo been able to gut any water , " said
Kuglis , "wo could easily have extinguished
tlio Manufactures building lire , for It was
not burning briskly when wo first ro.iched
the roof. There wuro plenty of buckets , but
no hose or water , although tlio whole of
Lake Michigan lay utmost right under our
feet. "
Mirrolon ConUriiotivo Mltlll.
The marvelous science ot tr.o engineers
who designed the great stcol trusses of the
Manufactures building was exemplified by
the fire. Expansion and conir.iction was.
ono or the chief factors considered by Chief
Engineer Shanklund in imiKing the detailed
calculations for Iho great building. It was
not supposed that thu hugo masses of iron
nnd steel would over bo subjected to such n
tremendous strain ns was put UIWM them last
uk'IH. They slood Iho lest well , however.
Hinged at the top nnd bottom , they had
sufficient play when the metal expanded un
der the great heat to seek ttio different posi
tions forced upon them without exerting a
bursting strain on the material they were
designed to support. Constructed mainly
with n view to climatic changes In temporal
ture. they slood n test many times in excess
of what It was supposed tney would over bo
called upon to maintain.
I'ut DniTii to Tramps.
Speculation as to the nrobdulc cause of
the lire occupied considerable attention to
day , but tlio main theory advanced was
that tramps had started : hc blaze. "Ono
guard , " said Director of Works E. H.
Uranam , "was charged with tub care of the
grounds last ovculng , but not the Casino
and Music hall. It would hava been possible
fora small nrnii of tramps to have taken
refuge in the unoccupied buildings. Wo had
no means of keening them , out and the
theory of tramp responsibility seems to mo
the most plausible explanation. "
Captain Mills of tno Columbian guards
takes the same view. He says Bo has soon
numbers of tramps around the grounds
slnco the park was opened to the , public.

WASHINGTONJan. . 'A ' Exhibitors whoso
goods were destroyed by lire in the World's
fair buildings at Chicago < vill have to stand
what loss has occurred to them by such do-
sirucllon , uulejs they bring an action In the
courts to show that there was criminal npg-
ligenco or complicity on the part of the ex
position officials. The government is not re
sponsible for the safety of goods in bonded
warehouses , which are established for the
convenience of importers , but when mor-
ohandiso stored therein la destroyed it
remits the duties which otherwise would
liavo lo be paid on .such goods.
Article S'iM of the cuitoms regulations

case of goods Injured or destroyed wliilo in

the custody of officers of the customs , but
not iindor bond , or nftor arrival in n port of
entry , and DC fore being landoil , but not fro- : :
deterioration or damage from natural or
avoidable cauir.s.
The customs condition of the World's fair
buildings was lo have expired at the end of
December , but owing to tlio fact that such a
largo iiuinlwr of exhibits had nut bscn re
moved it was extended until further orders.
O'ho railroad ; ! have held thu exhibitors by

When the session wns called to order Don

against Donnelly , attacking his record , both
state and congressional , nnd licensing him of
treachery nnd betrayal of tlio political trusts
with which ho had been honored. Donnelly
retorted , and then Fish demanded lo bo

babel of cries to adjourn , which molloii wns
declared carried. Fish ultomptud lo organ
ize another convention , but the lights were
turned out.
There are prognostications that the alli

curate plays than ho had thus far shown ,
hold thorn at the head rail for a good run.
Ho had the anchor position twice In the first
twenty shots , but could do little or nothing
with It , so he ceased to bother with it and
up pi I od himself to good general play. At
scventy-ono ho made n badly judged drive of
the whl to ball around the table nnd at
soventy-two stopped on n bard one-cushion
attempt.
Ives rattled nlor.g In his third Inning with
some very strong go-as-you-ploaso billiards ,
and nt twenty-live had a kiss nurse on the
natural rail , but soon lost it and hnd to go
after points promiscuously. At fifty ho had
gathered the balls on the lower end rail ,
where ho tried lor the anchor , but his
stroke was too strong , and the balls would
not stay in the rich * , "phico. His run ended
nt seventy-six , ns the result of a bungling
spread on the preceding shot , nnd Slosson ,
though ho found t'lic balls closely huddled in
the middle of the tiililci eatno to grief at nine
on a masse not at all dllllcult.
ives In his fourth 1played moro raeged
billiards , nnd nt twenty-two went wrong on
round-llic-inblo . In
a tough - - proposition.
his part of the fourth 'Slosson ' brought down
the house by a magnificent bank up nnd
down the table at hill-length , so perfectly
ijuagcd to speed thill It gave him an excel
lent jposition. At "thirty-eight ho had the
anchor opportunity in line shape , but could
not utilize it and' ' 'was' forced to resort to
open billiards. Ills seventy-fourth was nn
outrageous scratch , wljerofrom ho derived n
line position. But' lie could not keep it long
and at eighty-four-halted.or.a single cushion
shot. Score : Slosson , Jli'J ; Ivcs , 113.
Horn \Vmir the Oamc.
In the flfth innlng > - each drew n blank ns
the result 'of two1 vary difficult round-the-
able breaks. In the sixth Ivos clayed up
toward the auchof'and nt thirty-one got In
Faultless shape on the head rail at the left-
iiand corner. Both.red "and white , were
locked to each other and both hugged the
cushion. It was tno anchor par excellence.
Blosson simply wont aud sat down , remark
ing srood naturodly to the Associated press
ronortcr :
I don't suppose I shall got another shot
in the gamo. "
He did not. Ives had 437 Vo go , but it
looked as though ho need never stop. Anson
stood over the table nnd closely noted every
shot and Ivcs merely faced the balls with
wonderful delicacy of touch nnd kout up his
march and counter march from sldo to sldo.
At 131 ho played too lightly and nearly froze
: o the white. Ho lost the anchor , but still
icld lha balls at the rail. At 137 ho froze
n reality , but with an out and in masse still
held them. At 142 n short drive of the red
to the side mil restored the anchor as per-
'ectly as before and in exactly the same
spot.
Employing that curious twist of the ouo
tali which has been baflling all the experts
jut Ives and Schaoffer. ho kept the two ob-
ect balls In constant contact with tha
lushlon , so neither moved moro than u hair's
jrcndth nt each counting stroke. The spec
tators for a time gave close attention as the
delicate play proceeded , and nt 200 applauded
cordially. Still the feathery touches added
joints lo Iho siring ono by ono ; still Anson
lovcrcd watchfully over the table and Ivos
weed luck and forth. It was winning bill-
ards , but not very interesting billiards , except -
copt as a demonstration of marvellous con
trol of muscle and nerve. It seemed easy
enough , but up to this tmio but two men In
the world can do it.
Ivi'K Mnrely Chewed ( iniii.
At 309 ramo a clapping of hands and quito
n number of pcoulo left the hull convinced
the game was sotlled. As for Ivcs ho simply
chewed gum and kept on counting , while
Slosson chatted with the reporter. * and did
not so much ns look at the table half the
time. At 400 thcro was no cliango In the
situation. Only u round'of applause and n
voice from the crowd :
' Uroak 'om Up for fun. "
Uut Ivcs had no such intention. While
there were not points enough to enable him
to equal ShnofTer's New York record of 515(1 ( ,
ho could at least tlo Shaoffcr's average , of
100 and he meant to do it.
Atlull the balls got apart nnd in a few
strokes ho located them in good shape at the
owcr end rail , where ho held thorn well
until nt101) ) they got away ngaln. His 470th
was a long , hazardous loft-hand draw shot.
IIo made It In magnificent style , but was
kissed out of position. Koxt ho had to tackle
a three-cushion problem and ngalnvas suc
cessful. Two or throe drives gave him full
control once moro and at two minutes n.ist 10
his 4S7ti | shot and'gamo were accomplished.

HACK TO TIIK OLD I.OVK.
Mr. Johnitmi Toilny llocomo * ( Jcnornl
Krolght Agant or the Union I'nrlflc.
Today Hezron Arthur Johnson becomes
general agent of tho- ' freight department
of the Union P.icillc with ofllco.at Denver ,
Colo. Mr. Johnson , according to the circu
lar Issued yesterday , wilt have immediate
cUargo of Iho freight tralllc within the
state of Colorado excepting that portion cast
of Denver on the Kansas division , nnd will
report to Assistant General Freight Agent
Wood nt Omaha.
This appointment sots nt rest n great
many rumors as to who would succeed Fred
Wild , Jr , who loft the service of the Union
Pacific to take the position of general freight
agent of the Union Paclllo , Denver & Gulf
railway under Receiver Trumbull. D. B.
Koeler was prominently mentioned for the
position , but Mr. Munroo , who has a very
exalted opinion of Mr. Johnson's abilities as
a freight man. finally decided to tender the
place "to Mr. Johnson with Iho result that
his appointment becomes effective Janu
ary 10.
AdciiowliMlsnti tliu Com.
Receiver Trumbull of the Union Pacific ,
Denver & Gulf has been considerably
wrought up over the statement published In
THU BIR : last week as to the amount of
money his road would have to earn above
operating expenses to take care of fixed
charges , and to Denver newspaper men In-
limaicu that the press of Omaha Jwas
meddling with things that didn't concern
tlio eastern newspapers in the least.
Yesterday a Union Pacific ofllclal stated
that ho saw no dcslro on the
part of Tnr. HUE to misrepresent matters ,
but , on the contrary , did not toll all that
wight bo told regarding Iho manner In
which n rccciver was appointed for tlio Union
Pacific , Denver & Gulf. "Mr. Trumbull ,
slnco his return from n tour of inspection ,
realizes what a load the Union PaciHo hnd
to carry when the Gulf line was a part of Iho
system , and ho now appreciates the deficit
our company had to make up In
order lo maintain the system intact.
Mr Trumbull moans well , but ho
has been misled , In my opinion , by
uooplo who have not had the interests of
the Union Pacific ut heart , but wlm have
allowed local prejudice to guide them in the
application for a receiver of the Union
Pacific , Denver & Gulf. The line passes
through a most peculiar country from a
climatic standpoint , and should the weather
ut all provn unpropltious , crops would bo a
lolal failure and ono great source of
revenue bo entirely cut oft. Mr. Trumbull
need have no fear in regard to being
harassed by the Union Pat-Hie , for If ho-
makes the i-ond earn its fixed charges the
Overland System' will bo benefited thereby.
But I anticipate Mr , Trumbull realizes the
uphill work before him , and now seeks to
avoid the mala issue by glittering gener
alities. "
