Postmaster General Hitchcock is
developing as rapidly as possible
plans which he decided upon last De

transportation Of magazines when
practicable, and in instances where a
saving to the government in trans

THE plans I have decided upon"
said Mr.. Hitchcock, ARE not proposed

NEW YORK CAPITOL
RUINED BY FIRE
State House at Albany Is Swept
by Flames.
LOSS ESTIMATED $4,000, 1000
Priceless Records Are Destroyed
Assembly and Senate Chambers
Flooded With WATERMAN
Missing, Several Hurt.

Albany, N Y.-One-third of New
York's $27, 100000 capitol is in ruins
as the result of the flames that swept
through the magnificent structure for
nine hours.
State Architect Ware estimates
the loss at from 100000 to $1,000
900, exclusive of valuable historical
papers which cannot be replaced
There is no insurance on the build
ing or it's contents.
Flames ragged in the costly struc-
ture for four hours destroying prac-
tically all the west wing, and were
declared to be under control. Later
they broke out again in the south
west angle of the building and threat
ened to complete the work of destruc-
ton. In two hours, however, the fire
was subdued.
It was reported that several men
were missing, but all have been &C
counted for except Samuel Abbott of
Syracuse, night Waterman in the
state library, who is believed to have
been burned to death.
Several firemen were knocked I'M
conscious by falling debris in fighting
the second outburst of flames, and
were taken to a hospital. The condi-
ton of one, William Rogers, is said to
be serious.
The governor summoned Architect
Ware, Police Chief Hyatt and Fire
Chief Bridgeford into conference as
to the safety of the capitol. Mr. Dix
feared it had been so badly damaged
that all parts were unsafe. The con-
ferees refused an opinion on the mat
ter until thorough examination had
been made.
Firemen considered the senate and
assembly chambers practically intact
with the exception Of slight fire and
water damage, but Mr.. Ware advised
against their use until they had been
tested.
The building was placed under mar
tial law and the notes of bugles re-
sounded through the corridors so
lately blocked by smoke and swept
by flame.
Both houses met at the city hall
in a response to a call by Governor
Dix. 1t is expected that the legisla-
tors will take up a rigid investigation
of a report that an electric push
button was reported out of commits
sion by a Waterman Tuesday and not
repaired during the day. This but
ton is held responsible for the con-
7apratiOn
Before the firemen reached the
massive structure at the top of Cap
itol Hill priceless documents, books
and records stored in the assembly
library had been destroyed and other
departments were being threatened
On the third floor, where the flames
gained their start, the departments
wholly or partly destroyed by fire or
seriously damaged by water were:
State library, containing 100000 vol
umes, among them the most valuable
genealogical works in the United
States, together with relics and price
less documents. some of them dating
back to 1875 and irrepIaceable.
Assembly and senate Libraries,
stored with thousands of volumes of
law and code books; also number of
documents and manuscripts that can
never be replaced.
Senate and assembly chambers.

ruined their rich furnishings.

FERRER CASE DEBATE is BEGUN.
Spanish Deputies Discuss Modern
School Founders Execution.


School Founders Execution.
Madrid.-The debate on the trial
of Professor Ferrer, the founder
of the modern school at Bar
celona, who was executed in October,
1909, opened in the chamber Of depu-
ties and attracted unusual attention
The proposal to discuss this trial was
made by the Republicans and accept
ed by the government many months
ago.
The Republican press declares that
the revival of the Ferref case means
the end politically of Senior Maura,
who was premier at the time, and his
colleagues.
Deputy Coriano opened the debate
and asserted that none of the facts
charged against Ferrer constituted
the crime of rebellion, according to
the military law.

 Careful perusal of the foregoing
 Cthough only partiaD showing prog ress under republican control should rot fail to convince. the unprejudiced q reader of the necessity existing for continuance of that control, coupled as 1t would be with increased prog ress along the same and all other lines of American endeavor So much having been accomplished by the republican party in the fifty years that have passed. is an amgury of what more may be realized in the years to come if the party is con-
 1nued in power. supported by the loy alty and appreciation of the people at large.
 It must be borne in mind that na- tions. like individuals, must progress or go backward; they cannot stand still. The only way to ensure that measure of further progress to which the American nation is entitled. by reason of its immense resources and its world prestige is to continue the republican party in power.
 Can any Arizonan. after giving the matter careful consideration, permit himself to be swerved from q detcr- imitation to do everything in his power to continue the party under the guidance of which the I'nite1 States and every State thereof has made such giant strides along the rath or progress?
 The republican part has proved itself from the momen: os It's birth the party of progress along material so well as intellectual lines. It has had a definite aim and purpose the of the people. While It has given patient ear to every plaint and has applied a remedy for every i'll. it has never pursued the impossible. It has adhered steadfast- l Y to the faith. Il has refused to ! permit itself to be blown about by | every breath of false doctrine or to l zee q universal panacea in every nos { rum suggested by visionary docirin- lries.
 It has practiced rather than | preached progressivism and in this
