Fire Wipes Out Structure That Cost
r1illion
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Minister
Strobel at Santiago has sent the state de-
partment the following.
regret to report the destruction by fire
OF the building occupied by the house of
congress. The edicfice was regarded as
the finest in Chile, and but little of the
furniture or archives were saved. The
loss is estimated at about 81 900, 600, Uni
ted States gold, without considering the
archives, which can never be replaced
The building was begun in 1857, but not
d dictated until 1876, during the presi-
dency OF FREDERICK Errasuriz. While there
re rumors that the fine was the work of
incendiaries, it seems to be more natur-
ally the result of accident. There were
several lighted stoves in the building
which were being left alight. and prob
ably caused an explosion by escaping gas.
The government has called for plans for a
new builung notifying congress that on
their completion they will ask for funds
for reconstruction. An extra session of
congress, called to consider the financial
question. is now being held at the state
university.

are still depending on the Hardin forces
in so organizing the convention as to give
two members at large to the committee
on resolutions, in which even the conser-
vatives might hold the balance of power.
All leaders are hopeful this afternoon of
such concessions on both sides as to pre-
vent serious fighting.
Prom pity at noon the Democratic state
convention was called to order by Chair
man ]. D. Carroll of the state committee,
who spoke at length regarding the pre-
limlnary canvass, new issues, the result
of the late election and the prospects of
the coming campaign. The name of ex-
Congressman W. j. Stone ana Judge W.
Nj. Beckner were presented for temporary
chairman. Roll call had not proceeded
far when Chairman Carroll ruled that the
instructions were matters for delegates to
settle with their constituents, and the
vote would be counted as announced by
the chairman OF each delegation.
The result of the roll call was an
nounced at o'clock as follows: Beck.
ner. 44SA. Stone 373H; necessary to
choice, 44o. The election OF Beckner was
made unanimous. The result was received
with cheers and a direct advantage for
Hardin and indirectly an advantage for
the silver men. Beckner delivered an elo.
quent address and assured all that he
represented no faction and would rule
with 1mpartlallty. lie pleaded for har-
mony. The part of the address relating

The convention passed the whole even

The committee on credentials closed
up shortly after midnight, and voted in
favor of the Hardin delegates for the
Louisville and Newport districts, when
the scenes of disorder caused suspen-
sion.
Shortly before 2 o'clock the uproar and
confusion became such that Chairman
Berry declared the convention adjourned
until tomorrow at 8 O clock.
The report of the committee on creden-

In NATURAL C0L0RS
important Discovery Made in Photography
in Dublin

in Dublin
NEW YORK, June 25.-A local paper
has the following cablegram from Lon
don: Dr. Jolly OF Dublin, at the Soiree
society the other night, laid claim to
having discovered a solution of the prob
lem of photography in natural colors. He
exhibited large number of Photographic
transparencies upon glass plates, repre-
senting various objects in natural coors.
That every range of color and the texture
could be dealt with was evident upon
examination Of the subjects portrayed.
The portrait of a gentleman seated in
garden seat showed the flesh tints Of the
lands and face with naturalness. The
straw hat upon the knee, the buff lining
partly revealed within. as well as faint
green reflection on the rim where this
caught the greenish light reflected from
the Foliage among which he sat, APP
peared, reproduced with fidelity the real
istic effect.
Dr. Jolly expaine4in general terms the
operations involved in the new method.
A transparent glass plate which on first
inspection appears to bear uniform tint
and to possess somewhat silky texture,
is placed in front OF a sensitive film and
in contact with it. When the latter is
exposed in the camera. examination of
this plate with a strong lens shows it is
not HOMOGENEOUS. but is closely lined over
with fine transparent lines in three diffei-
ent colors. succeeding each other rcgu
larly, over and over and III close juXtapo-
sition.
Plates shown at the Royal society were
divided with fineness OF two hundred
lines to the inch. This is not sufficiently
Iine to obviate in some cases the linear
texture visible on near inspection OF the
picture. DR.. jolly ultimately obtained Il
iineness of three hundred lines to the
inch and practically accomplished this, as
was demonstrated on the photograph of
group of wall flowers. The plate which
has been exposed under these conditions
was developed in the usual manner.

property. The man is about 5 feet six inches
high; and of very heavy build; light mus.
tache and hair; wore stiff hat and dark
clothes nearly new. When he talked he had

weighes about 1000 pounds, with black main

trotting, is very quiet, and free from blemishes,
except the left eye, which shows ring when

POTTERY COMBINE BROKEN,

The pottery combination, known as the
Akron-Canton Stoneware Agency, has been
dissolved. For ten years or thereabouts this
agency has sold much the greater part of the
stoneware of the United States, but dissatisfac.
ton finally crept into the pool and the rupture
came at meeting of the agency at Akron
Monday afternoon.
The combination comprised the following
thirteen pottery concerns: The Akron Stone
ware Company, Whitmore, Robinson & Co., t.

ware Company. Markle & Inman, Cook &
Fairbanks, The Ohio Stoneware Company, f,
H. Weeks and A. j. Weeks, all of Akron; ]. s.
Monroe & Son and Myers & Hall of Mogadore
The Canton Stoneware Company and the
Champion Stoneware Company of Canton.
For some time there has been difficulty in
the agency because, 1t is charged, the Canton
Stoneware Company had failed to comply with
the rules of the agency. This led to ill feeling
and when the vote ON the proposition to dis.
solve the combine was taken last evening every
company voted in favor of it.
The breaking of the combine means a lively
hustle ON the part Of each concern for business
and consequent drop in the price of stone.
