7. A. Chapman and Stark Bros, of
Milwaukee, Cleaned out by
Fire Last Night.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct, 23.-At o'clock this
evening fire was discovered in the cloak depart
ment Of T. A. Chapman's mammoth dry goods
establishment, resulting in its complete dis
truction, together with its contents. There was
a prompt response Of the fire department, but it
was soon evident that the structure was doomed.
A general alarm was sounded, bringing out the
entire fire department Of the city, but even this
seemed to have no effect on the flames, which
swept through the magnificent establishment as
though it was a tinder box. Within two
hours from the hour Of discovering of
the fire, the building and contents
were mass OF ruins. The building was q four
story brick, 2l0x150 feet ground space on the
corner of Wisconsin and Milwaukee streets. The
loss the building is S150,0OO; on Chapman's
stock S25t 600; Stark Bros, occupying a por-
ton OF the building, lose 100000 on stock.
Everything is fully covered by insurance At
II 30 the Milwaukee street wall fell, but warn
ing had been given so that the Gremen and citi-
zens were out of danger After the falling of
the wall the flames were soon under control, and
prevented spreading to adjoining blocks, which
previously seemed inevitable.
Chspman's was the largest retail dry goods es.
tablishment in the northwest. The building was
erected in 1871, and year ago enlarged and i'm
proved at a cost Of 100000. Chapman has been
in business in Milwaukee for thirty years, and Is
widely known tbrou ghout the northwest. The
establishment employed 400 people. Stark Bros
was one of the Oldest wholesale business houses
in the city, and carried an extensive stock of
carpet goods. They have already secured an
Office in which to do business temporarily, and
will find store room so that but little, if any,
delay will be had in filing orders. Chapman is

Such movement as that consider myself to be
the basis of a sound and wise foreign policy We
seek no intervention in the struggles and conten-
tions of European governments.
1t may be of interest to Irishmen to recall
the above utterance from the lips of Mr..
Blaine himself. Our Irish friends who es-
pouse the cause of the soiled plumed knight
do so under the belief that he is to embroil
the country in war with all nations, and
when the smoke of battle lifts itself above
the earth free and Independent Ireland is to
be revealed. We have always favored Irish
independence, but how it is to be
relieved by the election of Mr..
Blaine or fought out on American soil we
are at a loss to understand. The President
has no authority to declare war, and Mr.
Blaine will be as powerless to aid Ireland as
the adjutant general of the state with all of
the state militia at his back. However, our
Irish friends need have no hope of the cleo
tion Of Mr. Blaine. The fact has gone forth
that Grover Cleveland is to be the next
President, and those Irishmen who desert
their party now will find that they have
made the greatest political mistake Of their
lives
