The Arbitration Treaty Between
Great Britain and Venezuela I
the Latest.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Brewer the American
ArbitratOrs.
Lord Herschell and Sir Richard
Collins Knight to Repre-
sent England.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The treaty OF
arbitration between Great Britain and
Venezuela has been signed. The de-
lay in completing the treaty was caused
by the difficulty in making up the per-
sonnel of the arbitratal commission,
not SO much from objections to persons
nominated by either side, as from the
trouble experienced in arranging the
tribunal, so as to interfere as little as
possible with the routine work of the
supreme courts of the United States
and Great Britain, from which bodies
four of the arbiters are drawn. Notice,
however, was received by cable from
London that the privy council
had finally confirmed the selec-
tions made. The four arbiters, it
is understood, will be Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer of
the United States supreme court and
Lord Herschell and Sir Richard Collins
knight, justice of her majesty's SUI
preme court of judiciary.
The fifth arbiter in case Of need will
be named by King Oscar.
By the terms of the treaty the agents
of the two governments, Great Britain
and Venezuela must deliver the COM
plete cases at Paris, where the arbitra-
ton tribunal will meet, within eight
months of the ratification Of the treaty,
with three months additional allowed
for the submission of tha.ccnntar cases.

CAPITOL BURNED
State House at Harrisburg, Pa,
Entirely Consumed by
Fire.
The Flames Broke Out in the
Senate Wing and Spread
Rapidly,
So That Hardly Anything Was
Saved -MenOminee School
Buildings Burn.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 3.-Fire broke
out at p. NJ in the senate wing OF the
state capitol, and at 80 the building
seemed to be doomed, as the fire de.
partment was unable to control the
flames The fire originated i'll the
rooms of Lieutenant Governor Walter
Lyon, over the senate chamber. 1t is
supposed to have been started by an
electric wire. The fire burned for sew
eral minutes before it was discovered.
1t made such headway that but little
could be saved in the costly apart
ments OF the lieutenant governor.
Across the hall were the rooms of the
superintendent of public instruction,
Schaefer, who was alone in his office
when the fire was discovered. He did
all he could to check the flames, but it
was not in his power. All he saved
were the appropriation books. Thou
sands of dollars worth of records were
lost
The flames had eaten their way
through the senate roof before the fire
department arrived. Part of the roof
tumbled in before the water was
started Then the streams were so
small that the fire laughed at the play
and burned on Soon the great dome
was a mass of flames. This burned like
shavings. The fire quickly communi-
Gated to the house side, and began eat
ing its way along the roof. The house
was in session when the fire was dis
covered, and it quickly adjourned.
The members saw the probabilities of
the fire spreading and the began to save
their belongings. The smoke soon
drove them from the building and little
was gotten out.
The fire will be confined to the capi-
tol building. The entire structure is
now in flames in the interior. Both
roofs have fallen in, and soon the great
pillars at the main entrance will fall.
The walls are cracking and crumbling
The loss is placed at 81, 200, 900; in
surance $40O, 900. The loss of valuable
records is great. They can never be
replaced

The shore Line Terminus.

The location of the western ter
minus Of the Washington county rail
road has been the subject of much
discussion in Ellsworth during tn
past week
The situation as briefly state
THE AMERICAN last week, has been
laid before the board of trade by the
construction company, which asks
the citizens of Ellsworth to donate
SO, 900 to have the road extended to
Ellsworth. The situation is more
fully stated in our news columns.
There is no doubt that it would be
to the mutual advantage of the rail
road company and to the city of Els
worth-perhaps more to the latter
than to the former-to have the ter
minus nearer the city, particularly il
the road eventually connects with the
Grand Trunk railroad by bridge over
the st. Croix river at Calais, and also
extends across Hancock county 10
winter port at Castine, as the railroad
people now contemplate.
Ellsworth wants the road; how
badly she wants it remains for the
people TO say. Ii is characteristic of
Ellsworth to make haste slowly.
and who will say it is not the safest
and the wisest plan? There is more
to be considered than the mere ques-
ton of granting financial aid; other
questions are involved which deserve
careful consideration.
We believe the action of the board
OF trade in referring this matter to its
executive committee was the wisest
course to be taken. That committee
is composed of strong men of Els
worth-men of sound judgment, and
awake to the interests of the city.
The citizens of Ellsworth may rest as
sured that their interests in this mat
ter will not suffer by being left in such
hands.
