who were huddled close at that point.

paper Offices of the National Capital
The Washington sPost,' s.Critic,' ..Ga-

Out.
: WASHINGTON, July 17.-About eight
o'clock last evening a fire broke out sud-
denly in the Post building at the corner
of Tenth and d streets northwest, and
soon the upper stories were wrapped in
flames. The building was occupied by
the Washington Post, the National Rcpub-
lican, the Washington Critic, the Sunday
Gazette, the United States Electric Light
rial, composing and press rooms of the four
papersare completely ruined, and the BUSH
ness offices are flooded with water. The
building, which is owned by Stilson Hutch
ms, was valued at $50, 900, and is
said to be covered by Insurance.
Both the Post and Republican used the
same press, valued at SIC, 900; insured for
$751; 600. The Critic press was valued at
SIS. 900, and is supposed to have been in
sured. In the basement of the Rcpotb-
licdn Office was a press owned by eX-Sec-
rotary Chandler and valued at $25, 900.
There were in the tuilding also the plates
of MI. Stilson Eutchil.y new book, ell
titled, "The National Capital, WASH
ington, Past and Present." The plates
were very valuable, and are a total loss.
Besides the plates 5000 copies of the new
work were burned. The Gazette is owned
by Thomas S. Morrow, whose loss is not
heavy. The total loss will reach $50, 900,
about two-thirds OF which is covered by in
surance.
The editors of the Eucntng Star at
once rendered the use of their Office to both
the Post and Republican, and those papers
will be issued as usual to-day.
- While the building was still in flames the
editors and printers of the Post and Hcpub-
ican were hard at work at the Star office,
preparing for to-day's issue. While the
origin of the fire is not definitely known it
is believed to have broken out in the engine
room of the Electric Light Company. The
plant of this company was in the Post
building, and soon after the fire broke out
every electric light in the town was sud-
denly extinguished, leaving certain quar-
ters Of the city in comparative darkness.
