Fire at the Capitol. About 10 o'clock
on Thursday night, VINCENT, the SER
geant oftbe guard on duty at the Capl-
tol, being apprised of an unusual light
in the apartment Of the Library of Con-
gress, alarmed the Librarian, who in
stantly came to the spot, and, on OPEN
ing the door, perceived part Of the gall
lery, (of wood, which runs round the
apartment to be on fire. He immedi.
ately removed the books to the alcove
adjoining; and, the alarm being spread,
the citizens promptly assembled. An
engine and hose were brought, and by
the very active exertions of the firemen,
aided by a number of Members of Con
gress, who We'd with one another in
their exeriions to save the Library, the
flames were extinguished In less than an
hour.
Very few of the Books, and those OF
little value, are consumed Some others
of course, are injured by the wet, and
by hasty removal; but the loss is trih-
ing, TO what might have been expected.

the fire originated from a candle left in
the galary by a gentleman who was
re ading there till late hour, and which,

On this the Courier remarks-"We

wholly to herself; but with regard to the
continued occupation of that country
by France, we have only to advert to
two circumstances the one, Mr.. Cam

of Commons, of his entire confidence
in the intentions Of the French Govern

possibly can; the other, that France
herself, feeling, as she must do, the pre-

ahon OF the Peloponnesus in 1874 and
1915:
an June, 1874, there were 10000
Turks in the Peloponnesus. and aoeo
Greeks arrested their progress at the
mills of Napoli de Romania. The Turks
were master of the Castle of Corinih.
Patras, Mondos, Coron, and Napoli dI
Romania. The Greeks had only Ma
varino, and Malvoisia. In September,
the $4,000 Turks were annihilated, and
two months after, Napoli and Corinth
were in the hands of the Greeks.
"ln June, 1925, the Greeks possessed
Corinth, Nspoli, and Nalvoisia. that is,
they had fort more than in lso2.-In
the Morea, there were about 10000
Turks. The Greeks, therefore. had
not so many enemies to contend with,
by 10000. Could they not have done
IN July, 1925, what they did in July
1872.
