other n prominent official belonging to part
OF tho command. The two officials dlscon-
certedly seized official paper lying handy, and
one remarked that at should be attended to-"
but the keen eye Of the Colonel did not fail to

1t Is said that the failure to turn out the guard,

Secretary Folger, who for time after the

Colonel was entitled to tho credit of this i'm

fact that he was the instrument of vengeance.

convey TO the Comptroller the ultlmatum that
either the rules must be obeyed or he (Knox)
must leave the Treasury.

THE MILWAUKEE, FIRE.
An Important Statement by I'll
Night Watchmau.

william Mckenzie, night watchman OF the
Newhall House at Milwaukee, has made the
following important statement: "0n the night
of the fire made my rounds as usual, visiting
the different lodging floors and basement
rooms, but observed nothing unusual. The
barroom was open until o o'clock in the morn
ing. George Scheller, the proprietor, was
there afterw ard. had been to the woodroom
at about O'Clock, and, In opening a door
leading, to the barroom, saw that the latter
was still occupied. At later hour had to
run the elevator down to the bottom landing
TO take up gentleman who had come from the
barroom. Nothing like smoke was TO be
detected then. At $3.50 o'clock L. D. Elliot
came in on late train. 1 took him
up In the elevator, letting him out at
and then got into the elevator to go down-a
few minutes past half-past o'clock. no.
ticed a very little smoke, and Immediately
started down to see where 1t came from. By
the time reached the Office floor the smoke
was SO dense that could 60 no further In the
elevator Throwing open the door, rushed
out and started for the stairs, shouting to the
night clerk that there was a lire down below
and that was going to see aboutit. By the
time reached the bottom of the elevator
shaft the smoke was so dense that knew
something must be done. l called to the
engineer and told him to rouse the SER
wants. Then l rushed back to awaken the
people, for I knew there was no
chance of my stopping the fire alone.
By the time reached the first floor
above the office and had raped at
doors to the elevator, and in a moment after
ward the flames poured out. In the mean
time had rushed into the back building and
reused as many dodgers in that portion as
could. Afterward l rendered what help 1
could In saving people. l hardly know what
to say about the commencement of the 1re,
but know 1t caught al the bottom of the ele.

| nothing anywhere around the elevator that
could burn 80 quickly, and at $3.50 o'clock
there was no smoke in the elevator or either
| Elliott or myself would have noticed 1t. After
the smoke was observed there was scarcely
| time to do anything before the whole thing was
ablaze.
''It might have caught In some Of the shops
In the basement that back up to the bottom OF
| the elevator, but in the bottom floor OF the
| hotel part there was nothing that could pos
sibly burn that way and that could have been

by the fact that so many were around until
