Harrisburg, was destroyed by fire and
the legislative halls that have served as
meeting place of the Pennsylvania

81, 500, 900 worth of property. The
house was in session and the senate
was about to convene after. few min
utes' recess when the flames were dis

wind saved them. The records of this
session were rescued. There was only
about 500, 900 insurance on building
and contents.

Mr.. RYERSON SCENTS WAR
Member of Ontario Legislature Objects to
Passing the Yantic.
He is Displeased Mt the Growing
Strength of Our Naval Reserve
on the Lakes.

TORONTO. Ont, October 15.-J. Sterling
Ryerson, member of the Ontario legislature
for east Toronto and leading conservative
in the house, in long letter to the local
press protests against permission being
granted to the United STATES gunboat Yam
Lake Erie.
The United States authorities" says Mr..
Rycrson, SAY that this warship is required
to instruct their naval militia. Why are
they increasing their force on the lakes?
We have spent $7s.00O00O on our canals.
Was this burden put upon the Canada an
people to facilitate the access CT United
States warships to the upper lakes. where
they might lnjure rs in time Of war, or
was 1t to facilitate Canadian trader
Mr.. Ryerson then points out that the
strength of the naval militia in the United
States is now considerable. especially III
the states bordering upon the great lakes,
and that if the cruiser Yantic passes Up
they will have reached the limit allotted by
treaty.
Continuing, he says: "Why this activ-
ity? History shows that greater advan-
tages may often be gained in time of peace
than in time of war. Our neighborS are
taking time by the foralock. i. is essential
for our safety that the control of the lakes
should be retained py Us and no hostile
power be allowed to strength itself by US
ing canals built at our expense. L trust
that the government of Canada, backed by
a united public sentiment. will refuse this
extraordinary proposition"

DI NUNZIO FOUND GUILTY
He is Convicted of Assault With Intent to
Commit Rape.
Attorney for Defense FfIcs Notice of
Motion for q New Trial
The ProcecdiaEs.

The jury In the case of Bernardino Di
Nunzio, the italian musician charged with
criminally assaulting Dora AK, the eight
year-old daughter Of his landlord, the 11th
of last month, came into court shortly be-
fore 1 o'clock today, stating that they had
found the defendant guilty of assault with
Intent to commit rape.
Mr.. Darlington gave notice of a motion
for new trial, and Di Nunzio was re-
manded to Jail. The penalty for assault
with intent to -ommit rape is imprison-
ment at hard labor for not more than five
years nor less than one year.
The case was placed on trial before Judge
Bradley In Criminal Court No. yesterday,
and was given to the jury at 1O:4O O'Clock
this morning.
Mr. j. McD. Darlington, counsel for the
prisoner. concluded his argument yester-
day afternoon. contending that the little
glrls story was not only too improbable to
sustain conviction, but that it was also
uncorroborated.
This morning Mr. Baker, on behalf of the
government, asked the jury to return
verdict of guilty as indicted.
Judge Bradley's charge was a brief one,
and was evidently regarded as favorable
to the prisoner, for his attorney filed no
exception to it.

CONSUL MADRIGAL.
His Appointment n Tribute to Hi
Splendid Record


Splendid Record,
Announcement was made in The Star of
recent date that Rafael Madrigal of Mary
land had been appointed consul at Carta-
gena, United States OF Colombia. 1t was
not stated at the time, but such is the case.
that Mr. Madrigal received his appointment
at tie hands of President Mckinley on ac-
count OF his splendid record as a consular
agent in Cuba, and his magnificent uphold
ing Oh American principles and the rights Of
Americans who suffered there during the
war at the hands of Weyler and his ennis
SarieS.
In addition to this Mr.. Madrieal lost near
~ everything ne possessed, he having a for
lthe estimated to be at least quarter of
a million dollars, for his loyalty to his
ADOPTED country and countrymen.
Mr. Madrigal Is a native of Cuba but
moved 10 this country to secure an educa-
tlon and finally entered into business in
Baltimore, where he amassed considerable
money. He left this country after having
been naturalized and returned TO Cuba
about ten years ago. He owned a fine horse
iahch ana was interested there in other
business, being considered one of the most
prosperous men on the island Today he is
said to be penniless. with no means with
"nich to support himself and his family
except the salary of the office which the
President gave him.
Although he had left his adopted country
MI Madrigsl was true to his naturalization
fere. and his early sympathy for Americans
III cuba marked him as a persona non
grata with Weyler, and he was denied his
exequatur at Spirit Sanctus, where he was
acting consular agent.
10 add to the hatred of the Spanish COM
Tander for him, he refused to allow the
troops to quarter their horses on his farms
and they were ruined, as far as it was
possible to be DONE and all of his property
destroyed, notwithstanding he was an
American citizen and entitled to respect as
such. Every injury which it was possible
for the Spanish to infiict was wrought upon
him.
Last February, when the CORRESPONDENT
OF an American journal was arrested in
Sanctus Spirit, by Weylers orders and
dragged through the streets, Madrigal
walked by his side. He did not stop at this
but furnished the correspondents cell and
sent him his meals, doing all in his power
TO make his Incarceration as pleasant as
possible. He gave money to a number of
other Americans.
Threatened with Imprisonment by wcyler
and practically q pauper Mr.. Madrigal
came here and was indorsed for the place
given him by Consul General Lee and a
number of other influential people. He is
described as being man of fine presence
affable and sociable, and speaking English
fluently.
1t is claimed that the appointment was
made solely on account of Mr. Madrigars
record in the beeaguered island, his un-
faltering Americanism, and that the Presi-
dent had no idea of recognition of Cuba
in it.
