The Capitol CT Minnesota anrnea

ST. PAUL, March IA bout 10 o'clock
to- might, while both houses were in ses-
sion, an alarm of fire was sounded which
startled the members from their seats.
Rushing from the chambers, they were
confronted with falling frebrands from
the dome of the capitol. which was
already all ablazs. The hook and ladder
company, with head quarters near by,
hurried to the scene. and with the aid OF
their ladders the mem bers all escaped,
Some Of them were slightly singed. The
building burned rapidly 10 the ground
entaiIing loss to the State of over $780,
900 for the structure, and the loss of the
historical and Supreme Court library is
much greater, because they cannot be
restored. The records were all saved,
however, as they were in vaults. One OF
the vaults contains over two millions OF
State trust bonds which are without
doubt saved. The Legislature has but
two days to sit and Market Hall is being
fitted up for their accommodation to night.
No insurance

On Monday morning, the 10th inst, the
negro laborers loading the steamship Gate
City At Savannah, struck for q per day,
and on being refused quit work Those
on the steamship Dessong continued until
p. m. When they came back nearly
all Of them were drunk and wouldn't
work or allow Others TO do 20. They took
possession of River street, leading TO the
Ocean Steamship Company's wharf and
stopped all business in that direction. A
telephone message was sent to police
headquarters, and Sergeant Harvey and
two men were dispatched to the scene of
the difficulty. The officer, being mounted,
arrived before the others, and was at once
attacked by crowd of negroes. In the
melee one Of the mob shot the officer, In
Aicting, what is supposed to be, mortal
wound. A reinforcement of police ar
rived and dispersed the rioters, though
they gathered several times afterwards
and made demonstrations to interfere
with the men at work. The ships were
loaded under the protection of the police.
The employers manifested determine
ton to resist the demands Of the strikers
to the bitter end, and employed new
hands. The trouble continued from time
to time during the whole Of last week, the
strikers making several demonstrations.
On Thursday skirmish took place be-
tween the police and the rioters, result
ing in several casualties, and the tempo
rary dispersal Of the rioters. Later an
attempt was made to harmonise matters

On the afternoon following the death Of
President Garfield, says dispatch from
Long Branch, President Arthur and the
Cabinet held conference in MacVeagh's
cottage. One Cabinet officer, who was
asked about the matter, raid: "H there
was anything Of political nature done,
the present is not the time to speak Of it"
From the best sources it is learned that,
if anything of political character was
touched upon about MscVeagh's dinner
table, it was only that the Cabinet, as is
the custom under such circumstances, stat
ed that their designations were at the dis
posal Of the President, and that Gen. Ar
thur replied that, for the present at least,
he wished them to retain their portfolios.
Some of the leading politicians, who have
had lifelong intimacy with Gen. Arthur,
insist that the present Cabinet will be re-
tanned, aud thstit will be purpose ofGen
Arthur to take the administration of Gen.
Garfield as be found it, and try to contin-
ne it on the same lines. Said one of the
political leaders of the stalwart school to-
day, "Gen. Arthur will do well to com
mence where Gen. Garfield left OFF, He
should have no enemies to punish, no po-
litical faction to reward. In no other
way can he come so near to the hearts Of
the people, who are SO sadly grieved at
the untimely end of the dead President;
indeed, 30 radical q stalwart as Hugh
Hastings said to-day that he should adj
wise Gen. Arthur to retain Gen. Garfeld's
Cabinet.
