sentenced by Judge Pritchard to two

of $4,000 each.
The defendants Immediately gave
notice of appeal to the Court of APP
peals and were released on 900 bond
each.
his motion for new trial and for ar
rest of judgment being allowed further
consideration.
The sentence imposed on Machen,
Lorenz and Diller Croft is the maxi
mum allowed under the law.
The appeals to the upper court will
,, be pressed as rapidly as possible. ac-
cording to the defense. but months
may elaspe before the appeals can be
heard.
The prosecution asked the imposi-
ton of the full penalty on all of the
counts, the adoption of which propo-
sition, it was pointed out, would in
volve a total of twenty-four years i'm
prisonment, and fine of $4,000. The
defense characterized this as an out
rageous and absurd proposition, argu-
ing that as there had been but one
offense alleged in the whole indict-
ment, the court had no power to inn
pose the penalty on more than one of
the counts.
Judge Pritchard stated that he was
satisfied that the verdict of the jury
was correct, but he did not know
whether the imposition of a penalty in
single count would be heavy enough.
He decided this question after recess,
holding that he could impose penalty
under only one count.
The prisoners then stood up for SEN
tence. Machen was first called. When
the court sentenced him, Machen's eyes
filed, and he trembled slightly as he
resumed his seat. Then he clasped his
hands and sat staring ahead of him as
the two others were given the same
sentences.

CAPITOL BURNS

MILWAUKEE, MAY NOW WIN
A FIGHT FOR THE REMOVAL OF
THE CAPITAL.

State Sustains a Loss of $SOO,0OO
Lighted Gas jet, Which Ignited n
Vanished CeiIing-Fire Chief Was
Injured-SOme of the Valuable
Records Were Saved.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 27.-The Wiscon-
sin State Capitol was practically de-
stroyed by fire to-day with loss es-
timated at 100000.
The state carries only partial insur-
ance, being in the process of changing
from insurance in companies to a sys-
tenn of state insurance. The fire in
wolves the building of new Capitol, a
special session of the Legislature, and
the probable renewal of the agitation
in favor of the removal of the capital
from Madison to Milwaukee.
The origin of the fire is believed to
room on the second floor. The flame
was close to and ignited a vanished
ceiling.
The fire practically devastated every
portion of the Capitol building, with the
exception of the northern end, which
was saved, but which is in such dilap-
idated condition that it will have to be
torn down.
Gov. Lafollette was early on the
scene, and by his GOODNESS did much to
inforce order among the workers.
All the contents of the immense law
library in the north end of the building
were carried out, together with large
quantity of other books and papers.
These were not greatly damaged.
Included in the burned part of the
Capitol was the Grand Army Hall and
ali the priceless records. These were
saved and are now stored in temporary
quarters.
During the fire, Chief Charles Bernard
was overcome by smoke and fell from a
ladder, receiving serious injuries. He
was taken to his home, where he is still
unconscious.
From an original cost of 100000 in
1887, appropriations from time to time
for new additions made the cost of the
State Capitol to date about 100000

1t Develops That Merchant Sailors
Did Not Undertake the Dangerous
Mission of sinking the Steamers

pans Officers and Men Insisted
Upon the Duty for Themselves.
Thanks of MikadO.
Toxic, Feb. 27-Naval officers COM
manded and tackles" manned the five
steamers that were sunk at the en-
trance of Port Arthur. Merchant sail
ors volunteered for the dangerous I'M
dertaking, but their services were not
accepted, as Admiral Togo decided to
entrust the undertaking to regulars.
There were ten officers and sixty
seven sailors in the crews, and all vol
unteered for service. The babe fare
we'll to their comrades, expecting to
die under the fire of the batteries of
the enemy. The rescue of the entire
crews surprised even the Japanese,
who expected that a majority of the
daring seamen would be killed.
The steamers did not carry lights and
were not armed, and consequently
were not discovered until the operation
of sinking them was practically COM
peted.
Japan is singing praises of the vol
unteer crews who participated in the
dangerous work. 1t is expected that
the Emperor will publicly thank them
and give them medals to commemorate
the daring act.
1t is understood that Admiral Togo's
main fleet is still in the vicinity of
Port Arthur, and it is expected that
this fleet will continue bombarding
the place until it is untenable. or until
the Russian fleet is destroyed.
