Sacramento. CAL. Nov. - A fire
which broke out in the extensive rail-
load shops of the Southern Pacific COM
pany at an early hour caused . loss Of
over 100000. Itstarted in the car and
machine shop in the center of group
of large buildings, and, famed by .
stih northwest wind, destroyed tho

half an hour. 1t next attacked tn. big

and in . few minutes the whole interior
Ct the big brick structure was raging
furnace. Hundreds Of railway en-
loyes aided the firemen In fighting the
flames, which were got under coatroi
by daylight.
The cause Of the fire is not positively
known. but it is thought to have started
from crossed electric light wires in the
car shop.
1t is only little over year since tho
pattern shop of the railway company

million dollars.

q, FIX Temporary Quarters.
Sergeant-at-Arms Bright. of the SEN
ate, was busy making temporary pro-
vision for the sessions of the court.
Senator McMillan's committee room on
the District of Columbia was hastily
prepared with bench and seats for
the Justices and a dozen rows Of seats
for attorneys and spectators. The
quarters are rather cramped, however,
and the chief justice and five justices
will have to sit on one side of long
oak table.
Cause of Explosion.
Architect Clark of the capitol is adj
vanced in age and very feeble, SO that
the active work of Investigating the
cause of the explosion and of clearing
away the wreckage is in the hands of
the assistant architect of the capitol,
Mr.. Wood.
.I have made preliminary examina-
ton" Mr.. Wood said, land 1 am not yet
ready to say what caused the explosion, al
though the main attention is being given
ia the gas supply. find that the general
damage sustained by the building is not
as serious as at first supposed. The heavy
foundations to the building do not appear
to be disturbed, and the walls blown down
are confined to the thin encircling walls
built to,scover steam pipes, etc. None OF
the heavy sustaining arches or pillars has
given way so far as can find. will make
a fuller examination, with better light,
Later to make certain on these points. For
the present 1t does not seem that rebuild
ing Of any part of the capitol will be neces-
sary. The work will be that OF repairing
and / hope we can finish this by the time
congress comes. We have small balance
for this but in any event the work will be
DONE"
An examination of the meter room
where the gas supplied to the capitol
is measured, showed that the big meter
had been blown to pieces. This salts
ties most of the capitol officers that q
gas explosion was responsible for the
damage, but they would not express
this view openly until an official in
curry had been made.
Runts Uninjured.
Several supreme court justices made
visit to the scene of the catastrophe
during the, forenoon. Chief Justic,
Fuller and Justice Harlan walked
through the various apartments guidet
nv man with lantern. While they
looked at the scenes of destruction
with manifest interest, they made M
remarks. They spent somewhat NOR,
time in the courtroom than elsewhere
There they found the upholstery ans
the courts new $4,000 carpet greatl,
injured but the two court clocks wer,
ticking away as regularly and as dig

mer chief justices, which line the walls
of the old chamber, were also unin

of much qualification to the chief jus
tice and his companions.

the United States will not maintain

Philippine islands. The question of the
sovereignty over the Philippine islands
is one, however, which interests Spain
only, but Germany from time to time
allows it to be thought that she is not
Indifferent to the fate of the islands

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1898-11-11


this government should pay their gov
eminent an indemnity for the attack
on Manila after the peace protocol had
been signed and for the damage onse-
Guently done.
Admiral Dewey victory in Manila bay
was unimportant and the possession of
Cavite during the war was not such as
to give the Americans, the Spaniards
declare, control of the islands, and, it
is claimed, and the claim is fortified by
argument and many legal presidents,
that the American government has no
moral right to demand the cession of
the entire group OF 1,400 islands when
it held only such small bit of territory
as that at Cavite and controlled only
the bay of Manila.
No Rupture Expected.
All during the war Spanish troops
were stationed on other islands and
were not molested. The Spaniards in
1icated their willingness, however, to
sell the islands, and the authoritieshav
no apprehension now that any rupture
will occur unless it be over the amount
to be paid.
After the Philippine question has
been disposed of the commissioners
will consider the determination OF
claims which have been filed by Amer
Jeans against Spain and by spaniards
against the United States. 1t was
thought that this government would
bind itself to satisfy all American
claims in consideration of the territory
ceded to the United States, but this is
incorrect. The Spanish commissioners
have heavy claim for tilibustering
against the United States to offset the
claims filed by Americans for personal
and property injuries, and the question
of their disposition will have to be de
