FIRE RUINS CAPITOL.
Wisconsin Must Reconstruct Its Fine
State Building.

4 ~N'fSfffnf
Madison, Wisconsin, Feb. 29.--The
fire at the Wisconsin state capitol
building caused a loss of $500. 900
The fire means the building Of new
capitol, a special session OF the legis-
iature and the probable renewal OF the
agitation in favor Of the removal Of
the capitol from Madison to Milwau.
kee.
The. fire was caused by defective ell
ectric wiring. At 8 o'clock it had com.
pletely ruined the east and west wings
containing the senate and assembly
chambers and the departments Of the
tax commission, the adJutant-generaI
Tailroad commissioner, state scnool su,
pertntendent, superintendent or pro.
perty, Ooard OF agriculture, state nor.
NAL school, commissioner OF Dsheries,
bsh and game warden, state board OF
pharmacy, state land oftiee, aaIry and
1000 commissioner, state treasurer,
commissioner of labor, governor, sec
fetaFy OF state, state board of control
and insurance commission, the su-
preme court, law library. and the state
library commission.
PRACTICALLY ali the valuable state
records are benved to be safe. Most
OF them remain in masonry and steel
vaults In the ruins.
Fire apparatus was sent from Mil.
waukee.
Governor Scnofield maintained n
surance on the building throughout
his term totalling $60O,U0V, but the
last legislature instituted an insurance
rund and directed the states officers
to allow the insurance poncies TO
lapse.
In June last there lapsed $51O, 900,
and in December $4,000. There is in
the insurance fund at the present time
about 5000 to meet the loss.
The fire practically devastated every
portion OF the capitol building, with
the exception of the north end. This
was saved, but is in such a deIapidat-
ed condition that this portion, togeth-
er with the standing walls, will have
to be torn down.
Governor La Toilette was early on
the scene, and by his coolness and
self possession did much to enforce
order among the workers. All the
contents OF the immense law library
were carried out, together with large
quantity of other books and papers.
The priceless records stored In the
Grand Army room also were saved.
Chief Charles Bernard was over
come by smoke and fell from ladder,
receiving serious injuries. He is un-
conscious.
From an original cost of $4,000 in
1887, appropriations from time to time
for new additions made the cost OF
the state capitol to date about $780,.
600.

not less than two and not more than two
