 M. Iarivieff, in the course of his re- marks said that the findings of tue tribuna1 had been reached after q most minute and most Impartial in- vestfgation. Like all human acts, the decision was susceptible of criticism, but how it was made every one should accept it. The arbitration, begun in timhs of peace, had ended amid the sinister acts of war, which was a ter ri}le obstacle in the path of light and progress. In spite of all good will, hlas, no one was secure against an lunexpected hostile attack.
 A nation was obliged to accept q war when the legitimate defence of honor and liberty was involved The inst providence which ruled over bat ties would distinguish between right and unfounded pretensfons. At the end of this war between European and Asiatic people the right, he con- ciuded, would shine out afresh.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 27.-The Wis practically destroyed by fire to-day with loss estimated at $800,000. The state carries only partial insurance, being in process of changing from in surance in companies to system of state insurance. The fire involves the building of new capitol, q special session of the legislature and the probable renewal of the agitation ill favor of the removal of the capitol from Madison to Milwaukee.
 The fire started early and at 6.15 a. m., had completely ruined the east and west wings, containing the senate and assembly chambers and the de- partments of the tax commissioners, the adjutant general, railroad commits sioner, state school superintendent superintendent of public property, board of agriculture, state normal school, commissioner of fisheries, fish and game warden. state board of pharmacy. state land office, dairy and food commission, state treasurer and commissioner of labor, and were about to attack the departments of the gov ernor, secretary of state. state board of control and the insurance com missioner.
 The local fire department had ten streams of water playing on the flames with but little effect, and the Milwaukee department was on it's way to Madison to render assistance.
 Governor Schofield maintained in surance on the building throughout his term totalling $600,O00, but the last legislature instituted an insurance fund and directed the states officers to allow the insurance policies to lapse. Tn June last there lapsed $51O.OOO, and in December the sum of S0O,O0O There is in the insurance fund at the present time about $6.00O to meet the loss which conservative estimates place at $SO0,OOO.
 At 8 o'clock the flames were burst ing from the extreme windows of the north and south wings, the east and west wings having by this time been destroyed. The building will be q total loss.
 The last departments to burn were those of the secretary of state and governor on the south. the attorney general and insurance commissioners on the main floor and the supreme court law library and state library commission on the second floor. Prac- tically all the valuable state records are believed to be safe. Most of them remain in masonry and steel vaults fn the ruins and their safety depends on the extent of the fire character of the vaults.
 The state treasury has only about SS.OO0 ill cash on hand.
 The fire is supposed to have been caused by lighted gas jet. which ignited q vanished wood ceiling.
