The loss will be at least a half
million dollars.
The fire started at the top of an
elevator shaft at the north end of
the building, and is supposed to
have been caused by defective in

The fire was still burning fiercely
at 2 o'clock, and a number of offices
in the building were ruined.

modelled few years ago and was
one of the f1nst office buildings in
the city, five stories high. The
plants of the Courier-Journal and
Times were on the first and second
floors. The three upper stories
were used as offices by many bust

ton as early as possible.

END OF THE THIRD DAY
France HonorS Iron Master.
Nebraskan Delivers Final
Address.

New York, April 1S.-In the closing
hour of the peace congress last night
Andrew Carnegie came into his reward
when the cross of the Legion of Honor
of France (commander) was pinned 10
his breast by Baron d'EstOurnelles de
Constant.
The decoration was bestowed upon
the father of the congress by the
French government in appreciation of
his work for International amity and
the peace palace at The Hague.
Great Day for Bryan.
1t was a great day for Andrew Carne-
gle. this. the last of the international
peace conference and it was also a great
day for William Jennings Bryan. Mr..
Bryan got no decoration, but he re
ceived tribute which may have been
sweeter than any cross.
The anonymous intelligence which
has been engineering the three days
session of the peace congress bloomed
best when William Jennings Bryan was
chosen to make the final speech of the
session which put the capstone on the
monument of Oratory which has been
reared with great effo e through the
progress of the nine sessions of that
body. At the final official session of
the peace deyotecs in Carnegie hall
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Bryan brought
the entire audience 10 its feet and
swept every person in the great hall
"a, MI ON
earth and good will toward men. ,---
Carried to Their Feet.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for less than half
an hour, and he spoke eXtemporane
ously. There had been others who
followed with more or less labor theiI
carefully printed speeches. and TO them
had been accorded their due need OF
polite applause. 1t was after ; O'Clock
when Seth Low. the chairman of the
session, announced Mr.. Bryan. Al fiji
teen minutes of 6. when he had finished
talking. the whole audience. from stage
to topmost gallery, rose and shouted
until the Jewish rabbi who had beer
selected to close the congress will
prayer could only shout his invocation
to those in the first three rows beyOnC
the stage.
Mr. Bryan said nothing that had no
been said before. His speech contain
ed a review of the assorted oratorica
effusions of the three days past, yet
made a stronger appeal, measured b,
the enthusiasm of the audience, thai
any that had preceded it.
After three crowded days Of deliber5
tions. the congress ended with two bi
banquets. one at the Hotel AstOr an
one at the Waldorf Astoria.
