The five-story warehouse belonging
to the Itasca Warehouse company, sit
uated at 7G2-7OS First street north, in
Minneapolis, was entirely destroyed by
fire last night The warehouse was
built in 1892 by Morris M. Hallowell
Jr., and passed into the hands of the
company some time ago. The loss on
the warehouse will reach $4,000, and
the total $250,0OO. The insurance cannot
be definitely ascertained, but is sup
posed to about cover the loss. The COM
pany did a general storage business,
but did not carry insurance for their
patrons.
The officers of the company are:
President, James Mcmillan; vice presi-
dent, Henry Chase; secretary and treas
urer, Morris Hallowell.
The principal losses are as follows:
Standard Rope and Twine company,
of New York city, six carloads of bind
ing twine worth $4,000. The manager,
S. C. Bennett, stated that the insur-
ance was large. w. B.. Judd lost about
$4,000 worth Of cooperage stock and was
insured for 81, 1,00O The Milwaukee Har-
vesting company had over 100 machines
in the building and all their repairs.
Their loss will be very large. The re-
mainder of the losses are distributed
among a large number of persons who
had small quantities of household
goods in the building. The amounts
or the insurance of this could not be
asceTtained.
The company had discharged its reg
ular watchman, Martin Ginsberg, on
April 90, to cut down expenses. He was
the first man to discover the outbreak
of the flames and turned in the alarm
at about $50 p. m. A second alarm was
turned in Immediately, but the upper
story was in mass of flames before
water was thrown at all. The fire
originated on the upper floor in the
northeast corner, and nothing is known
which throws any light upon its cause.

ing, says there had not been a fire of

congress and many other prominent
men. 1t was urged that a man who
had been actively connected with the
postoffice department should be ap-
pointed to serve as first assistant post
master general, but the president had
other plans. 1t was evident, however,
that the powerful list of recommenda-
tions in behalf of Capt. Castle i'm
pressed itself upon President Mckinley
for the latter found the opportunity to
appoint the captain to very inn
portant government position. Capt
Castle was also recommended by all Of
the Republican editors of the state and
the state editorial association, Of which
he was member and officer.
The title Of the Office given Capt.
Castle is Sixth Auditor of the Treas
ury" Under him will be an assistant,
ten heads of divisions and about 500
clerks. 1t is the largest bureau in
Washington, except those of the
pension and patent departments. It is
a branch of the treasury department.
but the Office is In the postoffice build
ing. and the duties appertain TO the
postoffice department exclusively.
The department handles about $780,
00e,0G0 of postal funds, and about $780,
100000 of money order funds. 1t audits
the accounts of the entire postoffice de-
partment, including postmasters,
clerks, letter carriers, the carrying Of

Capt Castle has always been a very
staunch Republican and was at one
time considered bitter partisan OF
late years, however, he has adopted the
civil service beliefs and has broadened
in his views. No Republican in the
state is better known. He has always
been identified with the League of Re-
publican clubs and has served on most
of the important governing committees
OF the party in Minnesota.
Many citizens Of ST. Paul and the
state have always felt that Capt.
Castles services to the party were
worthy of some recognition and when
Mr.. McKinley's cabinet was selected
and it was found Minnesota was out of
it the name of Capt. Castle was urged
upon the president for a position as
first assistant postmaster general.
Probably no other candidate for
that position ever secured such
valuable fund of references
and recommendations as did

Mr.. Newell has always taken an ac-

of the Republican state central COM
mittee and during the first Merriam
campaign directed it as chairman Of
the committee. He has been sent as a
delegate to a number of National Re-
publican conventions, and in the con-
vention of 1892 was the only man from
Minnesota who cast his vote for MIC
kinley. Mr.. Newell is a recognized So
cial leader and a leading member of the
Minnesota club. Mr.. Newell is married
and for many years has lived at his
