ATERRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
The Minneapolis Tribune Building Burns to
the Ground and Seven Valuable
Lives Were Lost.

On Saturday night, Nov. 3Oth,
shortly after 10 O'Clock, "A fire broke
out on the third floor OF the Mime
apolis Tribune building, and soon the
entire structure was wrapped in flames.
On the seventh floor were situated
the many offices OF the Tribune stan,
editors, reporters and compositors.
A number OF the employees in attempt
ing to escape jumped from the win
dows and seven lives were lost. The
building was an eight story one. Mt
the corner of First avenue and Fourth
street. 1t was occupied by the Tri-
bune, Tribune Star, Ievening edition
OF the Tribune), Minneapolis Office OF
the Pioneer Press and the Evening
journal. besides a large number OF
other offices. The Tribune editorial
force is on the seventh floor and their
composing room is above it. On this
floor there were nearly n hundred
persons employed when the fire broke
out. The access to the building is by
an elevator, around which a narrow
and dark stairway wound. AT night
this stairway was the only means OF
insress or egress. The building might
be called verit able iire-trap, and the
danger to occupants had been often
commented upon.
The fire broke out on the third floor
and soon the upper floors were cut
off from the street. The building was
on the corner and the adjoining build
ings were only one story in height, SO
no means OF escape was afforded IN
that direction. The flames cut off the
escape OF the Pioneer Press force Oh
the sixth floor, as well as the Tribune
folks on the seventh and eighth. Fol-
lowing is a list OF those who lost their
lives:
James f. Igoe, Associated Press
operator.
Walter f. Miles, Associated Press
agent.
w. ii. Millman, commercial editor.
Jerry JenkinsOn, compositor.
Robert McCutcheon, coinpositor.
Prof. Edward Olsen, Nermillion,

GAMBETTA's AIR JOURNEY.
A Memorial of the Great Trip of October 7th,
Set Up.

A Paris dispatch to the London
Times says a memorial OF Gambetta's
balloon journey OF October Z, 1870,
was unveiled recently at Epineuse, the
village in the Disc where he alighted.
"Gambetta's balloon" continues the
dispatch, (which was delayed four
days by "A fog, was in charge of man
named Trichet, accustomed only to
short Journeys. Mr.. Spuller, now for
eian minister, being also II passenger
OF n second balloon, containing two
Americans and "a subprefect, started
at the same time. When passing over
the lines of the 'besiegers some shots
and cannon balls whistled round
them. This WAS at 600 meters alti-
tude.
"'rhe balloons then rose higher, so
as to be out OF range, but by some
blunder or accident the Armand
Barbes descended rapidly and touched
the ground in n field near Chantilly,
not far as the pea SAINT : informed Gam
BETA, from "a German post. Ballast
being thrown out the balloon reas-
cended, but was only 300 meters high
when. near Creil, it was again fired at
and Gamhetta's hand was grazed.
Ballast Was again thrown out, and
NJ. Spuller flung out his overcoat.
The balloon again assembled, but it
had apparently been pierced by a shot,
for 1t began to contract and descend.
Ii was then above n small river, and
Prussan drums could be heard.
Gambetta urged the aronaut to land
only on the other side OF the river,
and this was done, the spot being the
edge of "a wood.
ut was now o'clock. Peasants
collected, and the mayor OF Epineuse
took the travellers to his house. lie
informed them that Montddier was
the best place for making the railway,
and drove them to Ericot, whence u
school master drove them to Mont
didier. They arrived at IL p. m,
slept at the Sub Prefecture, and took
the train next morning for Amiens.
The oak grappled by the balloon for
making the descent attracted many
visitors, until the owner. royalist, cut
it down, refusing offers OF purchase.
A memorial has consequently been
erected, and it was unveiled to-day by
| NJ. Spuller."

How Burr Killed Hamilton.

New York Independent: Fltz Greene
Washngt on, a sreat-sreat-erandn neph
ew OF George Washingto on, has recently
described the Hamlton-Burr duel as
it was seen 10y his grandfather Captain
Fitz Hughes, in the following words:
"When Capt. Hughes discovered that
his friends had gone to fight he took IA
boat and IA couple OF slaves-both OF
them good oarsmen-and rowed as
fast as possible to the battle ground.
lie got there in time to see the fight
occur as follows, but not to stop it, a.
was his hope: Hamilton and Burr
were each to fire twice or thrice at one
another. At the word of command
for the first fire Hamilton fired at
Burr and Burr fired in the air-llam-
ilton, OF course, missing Burr-but at
the second firing Hamilton fired in he
air and Burr shot Hamilton. IIamil-
ton thought Burr meant to kill him
n he meant to kill Burr; therefore.
Hamilton at the first firing aimed to
shoot Burr. Burr, deeming that Ham
ilton would, OF course, at the next
shot endeavor again to shoot him. OF
course changed his tactics and shot
Hamilton. Hamilton, not wishing O
he outdone by Burr, and presuming
that Burr would again make no effort
to shoot him, fired his pistol oil in he
air This is the true history OF the
duel fought 10y these two great men.

Congressman John Wilson OF Wash
ingt on is preparing u bill which he will
introduce into the house at his earliest
opportunity, designed to modify the
fees in land offices in some OF the
northwestern states in the interest of
settlers. lie was for several years re-
ceiver i'm he Seattle land Office, and Is
familiar with the subjsct. lie says if
the change can he brought about it
will result in "A saving OF many thou
sands OF dollars to those who take up
lands. His bill will modify the revised
statutes to make uniform system of
fees all over the United states. At
present the fees are higher i'm Oregon,
Washingt on. California, Nevada, Ida
no, New Mexico, Montana. Arizona
and Wyoming than in the Dakotas,
Minnesota and the eastern states. In
the far west the commissions in the
land office are SO for homestead en-
try OF 100 acres OF land worth Sl.25
per acre. In Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin the commission is 81 fOr
the same entry. For 16O-acre tracts
worth 80 30 an acre the commission
is SIP, against SS in The eastern st ates.
The same fees are charged for entering
the final proof. Mr.. Wilson proposes
to cut down the fees in the west to
meet those in the Dakotas and Min
nesota, which means dollars to every
set tier. lie also will include in his
horizontal reduction that part OF the
lee bill which allows "A charge of TWEEN
ty-two and n half cents per hundred
words for reducing testimony to writ
ing in contested cases in Washingt on,
Montana and the territ ories, while the
same work IN the Dakotas and Mime
sofa Is done for fifteen cents. lie will
also try to cut out of the act OF March.
1877, that clause which allows the
register to collect the same fees for ex-
amnins and approving final testi-
mony that he is allowed for taking.
These changes will not interfere with
the compensation OF the land Office
officials, as the maximum allowed
them il 50 900 "A year. and the offices
return big balances TO the treasury
aft er deducting that amount.

Trouble in Iowa Marriage Laws.

Chicago Mail: The people OF Iowa
are likely to find themselves in n
pretty kettle OF fish. Recently an
elopement took place from Wyan-
dotte, Kan, the clipping parties going
direct to Burlington, Iowa. where they
were married, a license having been
issued by the deputy clerk of the dis
trct court. Later developments
proved that the girl was only L ) years
old, and i'm the suit for perjury insti
tuted by the state the fact has comt
to light that the marriage apparently
is not legal, and that none OF the mar
rIages solcmnized since the abolish
ment OF the circuit courts in Iowa
have been correct. Ii this point il
sustained it will unmarry some hun
dreds OF he good people of Iowa, and
the rush ior remarrlage will presum
ably be so great that the state vii
have to devise some means of marry
ing its citizens in large quantities. II
must be humillatng to lowans after
the way in which they pluned them
selves upon their upriehtness and theil
general superiority over their neigh
bors in the way of habits to thinl
that after all about half OF them hav,
never been married to their wives.

To the plan which will be presented

To the plan which will be presented
by the secretary of the treasury for
the issuance of notes or certificates
upon the deposit OF silver bullion at
its market value, ! have been able to
give only a hasty examination owing
to the press of other matters and to
he fact that it has been so recently
formulated. The details OF such II
law require careful consideration, but
t he general suggested question by him
seems to satisfy the purpose to con-
tinue the use of silver in connection
with our currency and at the same
time to obviate the dangers OF which ]
have spoken. At later day ] may
communicate further with congress
upon this subject.
The president calls attention to the
admission OF the new states, and says:
Each of these States has within It,.
resources the. development OF which
will employ the energies and yield
comfortable subsistence to great
population The smallest OF these
new States, Washington, stands
twelfth, and the largest, Montana,
third among the forty-two i'm area.
The people OF these States are already
well trained, intelligent and patriotic
American citizens, having common
interests and sympathies with those
of the older States and a common
purpose to defend the integrity and
uphold the honor of the nation"

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

The report OF the secretary of the
int erior exhibits the transactions OF
the government with the Indian tribes.
Substantial progress has been made
i'm the e,lucat ION of children of school
age and in the allotment of lands to
adult Indians. 1t is to be regretted
that the policy OF breaking up the
tribal relations and OF dealing vii h
the Indian as an individual did not
appear earlier in our legislation. Large
reservations held in common and the
maintenance of the authority OF the
chiefs and bad men have deprived the
individual OF every incentive to the
exercise OF thrift and the annuity has
contributed an Affirmative impulse
toward state of confirmed pauper-
ism our treaty stipulatlons should
he observed with fidelity and our leg
islation should he highly considerate
OF the best interest OF AN ignorant and
helpless people. The reservations are
now generally surrounded 10y white
set Elements. We can no longer push
the Indian back into the wilderness,
and it remains only by every suitable
agency to push him upward into the
estate of a self-supportins and re>Pon-
sible citizen. For the adult the first
step Is to locate him on "a farm and
ior the child to place hlm IN school.
