WASHINGTON, b. c., January 90
The Capitol building is supposed to be
fireproof The walls are of marble, the
floors of filing, and the roof of iron, yet
it took fire this morning in very curious
way. There is flag pole on the top of
the building, as described in this cor
respondence some time ago. The pole
by exposure to the weather cracked this
morning, as the fires in the basement
were being doomed. A spark flew out
of the chimney and struck in this crack.
1t was the only vulnerable point in the
roof Of the great building. This little
crack is as wide as a knife blade. The
wind tanned the sparks, and it set fire
to the pole and slowly followed down
through the opening in the roof, and
SO reached the interior by this curious
manner. The fire dropped down
through the roof and caught In a lot of
flags of various countries presented to
this Government by the nations, and
which had been placed in this supposed
safe spot for safe keeping. Lucky IL
was discovered before it had reached
the mass Of records stored on the floor
near by and extinguished.

Cotton-Mtn Burned.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The large cotton
mill of the Brighton Cotton Manufact-
uring Company, in the southwestern sub
urbs caught fire this evening and was
practically destroyed. Archer avenue,
the only means of access to the mills,
had been temporarily torn up, and the
fire engines, after making a detour
through a cabba2e field, discovered that
an insufficient amount of hose had been
provided. Sparks from passing engine
are believed to have igDited some cotton
lying in a shed. The main building was
50x150 feet In area, and fiFe stories high.
Three or four other buildings were also
burned, besides the engine-room, con-
