The loss .on buildings and whisky and spirits destroyed will approximately 0$,000,000. The fire spread to the stock yards diptriot, where an dozen large cattle barns, filled with cattle for the market, wire burned. The cause of the. explosion cannot yet be determined. The wildest excitement prevailed at- tea the explosion and the Immense plant was surrounded by thousands of people, who, however, were unable to get close to the structure on account of the Intense beat. Tbe warehoa.e containing In the neighborhood of 80.000 barasls of whis- ky was InstantansodUsly a seething cal- dron. and It was seen no one inside the big structure could escape.

The "two fermenting houses were speedily food for the flames. They are two structure. of good dimensions and both of thorn were practically de- stroyed. The firemen got near the fire with difficulty and the water had little or no effect. A high wind was blowing and fanning the flames In the direc- tion of the Monarch distillery, and for a time It was feared that the fire would sweep along the entire iiver tank. However, the heroice work of the firemen began to tell and at 7 o'clock the fire seemed to be under control,. with no likelihood of a further spread. Tho warehouse, where the first ex- plosion occurred, was an eleven-ctory frame structure covered with corru- gated iron. It was 100 by 200 feet and contained thirty thousand bar- rels of spirits.

In the several counties the ballot re- mains quite lengthy on account of contest. for county offices, but the general Interest in the election of course centers In the race for sen tnor, that for the governorship and con- gessinan from the second district and for secretary of- state. The nomina tion of James P. Tallaferro for sen- ator is a foregone conclusion. HIe race In the second primary was a matter of. form In compliance with the pri- mary law. In the first primary with four candidates In the floid he lacked only 482 votes of having a majority over all. Bie had In the first primary a majority of 11,000 over his next op ponont, J. N. C. Stockton, who oppose ed him In the second primary. Owing to rain It Is thought that Tho vote will not be a heavy one, but It is known from the returns already In that Tallaferro Is nominated by a safe majority and that Frank Clark is nominated over 3. M. Barrs for con- gress. The race between Napoleon Bro- ward and Robert W. Davis for gover- nor Is a matter of doubt.

Advices of Tuesday from Chefoo state that preceding a sea attack on Port Arthur last Monday night the Japanese apparently made an ad- vance on that stronghold by land. A Chinese junk, which left a point .three miles south of Port Dalny early Monday morning, has arrived at Che- foo. She reports having heard firing north of Port Arthur from 7 o'clock Monday morning until 2 o'clock that afternoon, by which time she passed out of hearing distance. It would appear that the Japanese planned n land and sea attack on Port Arthur for the day. The Rus- sians on seeing this sent their fleet out to give battle. The result Is not known. The above dispatch would seem to confirm the dispatch previously re- celved at Chefoo from the Associated Prea. correspondent at Teng-Chow. The correspondent said there was fir- ing at Port Arthur Monday night be- ginning at 11:30 and coutlnued for several hours.
