Ir has taken twenty years of active effort to secure library building in
 Washington large enough to accommo- date the library of congress, and the new building is just raising its walls above the board fence that has for several years enclosed the ground. The present structure will be finished and opened to the public in 1896, and will contain the appointments to store away a million and a half of books, with enough room remaining to accommo-
 date in the future two million and a
 half more. The present rate of increase is about thirty thousand volumes year, and the new building is likely to hold all
 the books that may come to the con- gressional library in the next hundred years. The structure itself will be worthy of the government, and it will be the home, in time, of one of the greatest libraries in the world.

 DENVER, Col, April 13.-Late last night the police of this city raided 8 dwelling house at the corner of 31st street and Maryland avenue, having cause to think that something crooked was going on therein.
 They were richly rewarded, for in the cellar was found a large assortment of stolen property of every conceivable de- scription, from church organ down to a worn out wash brush. Sixteen persons were found in the house and were ar rested.

 Army-An American Swindler Sentenced.
 PARIS, April 13.-M Herbette, the French Ambassador to Germany, has sent NJ. Ribot, French Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, a dispatch full of misgivings as to the nature of the Ambassadors relations with the Berlin Foreign Office. M. Her bette says that Chancellor von Caprivi treats him with formal politeness, while the German Emperor, who was formerly invariably affable in his manner, now speaks curtly and has shown positive i'll humor toward Frenchmen whom M. Herbette has introduced at receptions.
 The news causes increased anxiety in government circles here Hitherto NJ. Herbette's own reports, as we'll as other official information from Berlin, have shown that NJ. Herbette was persona grata with Emperor William, and that the Ambassador was on the most amica- ble personal terms with the chiefs of the Berlin Foreign Office. Nothing has oc- cured between the Ambassador and NJ. Ribot to indicate the intention of the German government to increase the ten sion of relations already sufficiently strained.
 If the French government ascertains 1 that the Kaiser's altered attitude toward M. Herbette arises from dissatis- faction over the treatment received by Empress Frederick in Paris, his early re- call is certain. So far as is known in of ficial circles, the Kaiser exonerated NJ. Heroette from all blame in the matter, while NJ. Ribot considered the conduct of the Ambassador in connection with the Paris incident to have been absolutely cOrracf

Terrible Death of a Wounded Man Near Q
 Logging Camp.


 Logging Camp.
 CHEBoYGAN, Mich, April 13.-James and John Gillespie own a small logging camp three miles from Mullet Lake, 12 miles south of here. The two brothers were working in the woods, when James axe slipped and cut terrible gash in his leg. John bound up the gash and started to carry James to the nearest honse. The load and deep snow were too much for him, and with night coming on he had but little chance of getting home. James ordered his brother to run to the nearest house for help, leaving him alone.
 John did so and was soon in the vil- 1age, where a crowd was raised to bring in the wounded man. A tramp of over a mile brought them to the vicinity and shouts were sent up to cheer James No answer was received, but in it's place came savage yelps from lot of wolves. The crowd rushed on, only to find a pack of wolves fighting over a lot of bones and clothing where John had left his brother a short time before, while all around the snow was stained with blood. The rescuing party were unarm- ed, save with axes, but they chased the wolves off and brought the bones back for burial.
