message on the SUI ject of fisheries
treaty is the all absorbing topic of converse
ton among the few members present in the

the republicans generally condemn it as
purely political. Representative Hooker,

II think it i a very able exposition Of our
tights under the treaty of 1913. AMI that it

power under the existing law to express

sary in the message. 1t wO Id be a very

Great Loss of Life by the Burning Of a

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. ga special
to tbs EUening Wisconsin,, from Eeenoh,
Wis, says that at 1880 last evening
large paper mill owned by George Whiting,
on the island between that city and
AIenasha, was burned. While the burning
structure was surrounded by a crowd OF
spectators the battery of boilers exploded.
The roof and walls were thrown outward,
sending 4 shower of bricks and timbers
among the spectators. Eighteen persons
we're killed, several fatally injured, and a
number less seriously hurt several Of
whom viii die.
The mill was a three-story structure,
built three years ago at a cost of $4,000
When the flames broke out about fifty men
were in the building. The fire alarm
brought several hundred people to the
spot, who crowded as close to the burning
building as the heat would permit About
30. while the building was a mass of
flames, an explosion occurred without
warning, and in an instant scores of men
were buried by the heavy debris Hun
dreds began the work of recovering the
bodies of the dead and rescuing and caring
for the wounded
Body after body was found crushed and
mangled by the great timbers. The in-

About Il O'Clock the fireman left his post
to get a drink Of water, and on looking
back in the boiler room found the fire

could get the hose or give an alarm, the
flames drove him from the room. The
immense revolving bleach was in the heat

The cause OF the awful calamity is
traced directly to the iron bleach It is
said this was full Of steam and rags, and

the firm had a business differences and dis.

was valued at, but it is surmised that $50
