Fire in The Capitol.
PART OF UHR GREAT MARBLE
STRUCTURE IN WASHINGTON
MASS or RUINS.

Washington, Nov. 6.-An explo-
sion and fire at 5.13 o'clock this af-
ternoon wrecked the Supreme Court
room and the rooms Immediately adj
joining it on the main floor of the Cap
itol. The entire central eastern part
ofthe great marble pile, from the
main floor to the suLterranesn base
lnent, is practically mass of ruins.
The force of the explosion was so
heavy that that the coping stones
on the outer walls just east of the
point where the explosion occurred
were bulged ont nearly two inches;
windows in all that part OF the build
ing were blown out, and locked
doors $50 feet distant were forced
from their hinges.
Fire followed the explosion so
quickly as to seem practically stimuli
taneous with it. The explosion shook
the immense structure to its founds-
tons and was heard several squares
from the Capitol. 1t occurred in a
small room, tightly inclosed by heavy
stone walls, IN the subterranean base
ment Immediately below the main
entrance to the old Capitol building.
In this room were 5OO-light gas me-
tiers, which were fed by a four-inch
main. Very little gas is used in that
part of the building, but at the time
of the explosion the gas had not been
turned off at the meter. The meter
ITSELF was wrecked and the gas pour
ING from the main caught fire.
The library of the Supreme Court,
located Immediately beneath the
Supreme Court, was badly damaged
by fire, smoke and water, practically
destroying the great collection of law
reference books.
The most serious damage, in the
opinion of the justices Of the Supreme
Court, is to the records stored in the
suctcrranean basement. These in
cluded all of the records of the Su
preme Court from 1892 to 1882. Tie
room contains records of cases and
opinions rendered by the fathers OF
the judiciary of the government,
Justice Harlan said that while the
loss of the records was irreparable, it
was fortunate that the later records
OF the court which are kept in the
office of the clerk, on the main floor,
were nos injlis ed.
The loss IL estimated at 5000, 900.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-To break
off the Peace negotiations is the very
thing that Spain does not desire TO
do. That was made fully apparent
in the answer of the Spanish Commits
siOncrs, declining to consent 10 our
demand for the whole Of the Philip
pines. Spain wishes to get rs much
money as it possibly can from us, f1r
the Philippines, and if the negotia-
tons are broken off, it would not get
a cent, while we would get the Phil
ippines just as surely as we would If
the treaty was regularly concluded.
There are good reasons for the belief
that Spain would Object most decided
" if our Commissioners should with
draw their demand for the Philip
pines, which they are not likely to do,
and substitute proposition that the
islands should be returned TO Span
ISL control. One of them is that a
return to Spanish control would be a
physical impossibility, owing to the
strong msurgent army of Agunaldo,
which would be in absolute control
of the entire group of islands within
a week after the withdrawal of the
American forces. Spain knows that
the islands are lost to her, and, even
ifit did not expect to get q money in
demnity from us, would doubtless pre-
fer seeing them controlled by the U.
5. to seeing them controlled by the
insurgents. So far as can be Judged
by appearances, the President and
the members of his Cabinet, are per-
fectly satisfied with the situation in
Paris. In fact, members Of the Cab
met have said as much, and added
their expectation that the ,reaty
would soon be concluded upon our
terms.
Lieut.. Hobson, who is in Washing
ton, could scarcely restrain his tears
when he received the news of the
sinking during a storm, of the MIria
Teresa, the Spanish cruiser he raised,
while on its way to New York. Many
regrets have been expressed by
others, especially Naval Officors
As soon as Maj. General Wade,
one of our Military Commissioners,
at Havana, learned that Nuevitas
and Puerto Principe Cuba would
be evacuated on Nov. 22nd, he cab
led to the War Department, setting
forth the danger there would be if
U. S. troops were not on hand to oc-
cupy both places the minute the
Spaniards leave, and asking that steps
he taken to avoid trouble by sending |
L. S. troops at once. The War De-
partment has issued the necessary
orders, and our boys will be there
ready to take charge when the Spsni-
,rds march out. Although not given
,ut officially, the danger feared by
zen. Wade, is that the towns might
De occupied by cuban insurgents who
night make much trouble, unless our
roops are there to forsstall them.

The election in Shenandoah wa;
one Of the most quiet ever known.
The democratic vote was small, but
the republican was much smaller. In
some republican precincts there was
almost an entire absence of votes.
The fact that O'Flaherty was en-
dorsed by one wing of the republican
purity created silent opposition in
the other. AT the Town Hall, there
was not one negro vote, the first
time that such has been the case,
since the war between the states. In
another column, we publish the
official vote of this county by pre-
cincts.

The democratic party will here
after need the vote of every demo
crat of the land to crush out the new
monster which threatens the dis
tructiOn of this great government. Il
that party determines to 90 INTO the
contest loaded down with such doc
trines as the pOpulists injected into
the platform of 1896, her chances Of
success are very much lessened.
If, on the other hand, it shoul d
abandon all fallacies, intended to win
the votes of populists and week
kneed republicans, and adopt a
platform that is purely democratic, il
would become the party of the pso-
pie and would sweep the country
before the imperIalists could fortify
themselves in power by the aid of
Porto Rican, Cuban, Hawaiian and
Philippine votes.
The free silver doctrine can only
accomplish one thing, and that is the
defeat of the great democratic party.
Would it not he well to let it rest in
the grave to which the people COL
signed it In 1896?

THE MURDER TRIAL

Ia which DeVInnoy aud johnson are the
Defendants Will DO Prolonged Until
"wednesday or thursday, Probably.
1t was believed that the trial of De-
vlnney and johnson, charged with the
murder of Charles Mclaughlin, would
come to It's conclusion early this week
In the criminal court, but the indica-
lions now are that 1t VIII be prolonged
to Wednesday or Thursday. The unex-
pactedIy long direct and cross examIna-
lions of the witness, Frank McLaugh-
lin, ON Friday and Saturday, bring
about the extension beyond the time be-
fore prognostlcated for the wind-up Of
the trial.
The state still has severa! witnesses
who have not been on the stand. In
addition TO the flfty-two summoned be-
fore the trial began, summonses have
been Issued for several others, and 1t Is
understood the defense will have other
witnesses besides the twelve originally
summoned.
AT Saturdays sessions Of the criminal
court, the principal witness on the
stand was Frank Mclaughlin, brother
of the murdered man. who was his COM
panion when the killing occurred. The
direct examination was finished at the
morning session. Then the witness was
handed over TO the tender mercies OF
Captain Dovener. who took the young
man through a merciless and searching
cross-examination. but with the result
