Dc Moines, la., Jan. 5. Fire gutted
tho northwest wing of tho state capltol
yesterday, causing an approximate loss
of $500,000. Tho chamber of the house
of representatives Is a charred mass ol
debris and cannot bo repaired In tlmo
for tho approaching session of the
legislature. The lire, which started
about ten o'clock, was not extin
guished until six o'clock In tho even
ing. Tho origin of the lire Is not defi
nitely known and Gov. Cummins will
ordor an Immediate Investigation.
Tho supposition Is that It started either
from a lighted candle carelessly loft
burning or from an electric light wire,
Tho fire originated near a shaft In n
committee room and spread upward
and around tho celling of tho house
chamber.
Tho llro department was unablo ta
fight the flames effectively on uccount
of tho height of tho building and ele
vation of the capltol site. Tho only
thing posslblo was to cut off tho prog
ress of tho flames. Tho gallery of the
hoiiso chamber fell with n crash, por
tions of tho debris slightly injuring
two firemen and endangering tho liven
of many. Tho valuablo volumes ol
tho state library, located near tho fire,
woro removed and tho stnto ofllccs
were hastily emptied. Tho funds In the
stnto trensuror's ofllco woro loaded on
a wagon and carried to a down town
bank for deposit.
Gov. Cummins Inld usldo guberna
torial dignity nnd, clad In rubber
boots and rough coat, engaged In the
work of fighting tho fire.
Last night tho beautiful state capl
tol presented a scene of desolation.
The marble staircases woro covered
with Ice, the floors woro flowing with
water and tho ofllces under tho burned
part of tho building woro flooded. The
Iowa capltol is ono of tho most beauti
ful In tho United States. It is built
along tho lines of tho capltol at Al
bany, N. Y. It was erected at a cost
of $3,000,000. Tlio state capltol com
mission, appointed for this purpose,
had just completed tho restoration and
repair of tho building at a cost ol
$125,000, most of which had been ex
pended in tho chamber which is
ruined.

by Chief Justice Fuller tho supremo

ollvored in tho enso of tho Porto
Rlcan woman, Gonzales, who, In 1902,

Now York on tho ground that sho was

Illttor Struggle.
London, Jan. 3. No word has yet
been received here tending to show
when the Russian reply to Japan may
bo expected. Foreign Secretary Lans
downo has Informed Baron HaynshI,
tho Japanese minister, that ho fears
that the war party In Russia is in tho
ascendant and that he has faint hopes
of Japan receiving a favorable reply.
Tho weekly papers hero sharo in tho
general feeling of nlarm current in
Great Britain. Tho Spectator says war
draws over nearer and adds: "If wo
aro dragged into this war, as wo may
bo, tho country will not bo divided in
sympathy, dislike of Russia being as
strong nmong tho masses of our pop
ulation as it was in 1855." Tho paper
surmises that Russia may keep hor
ships in hor harbors, as sho did dur
ing tho Crimean war thereby forcing
land actions or a dangerous attempt
by Japan to seize Port Arthur and
Vladlvostock. Tho Saturday Review
adopts a somewhat similar tone, saying
that tlie likelihood of Chineso inter
vention menaces tho commercial in
terest of all Europe and of tho Unitod
States.
llollevo War to Ho Tnevltahle.
Pekln, Jan. 4. In tho various for
eign legations hero tho opinion is
prevalent that war between Japan and
Russia is Inevitable. This opinion Is
based on tho latest dispatches from
Toklo and on 4 ho conviction that It is
not a question of detail which separates
Russia and Japan, but tho vital princi
ple as to whether Japan possesses the
right to a voice in tho settlement of
questions connected with tho Russian
occupation of Manchuria. Russia all
along has denied this right and unless
her reply shows that sho has receded
from this position, which Is not ex
pected to bo the case, It probably will
provoke an ultimatum from Japan,
whoso determination to resort to arras
in support of hor claim is unques
tioned. fapna Urged to Open Hostilities.
Toklo, Jan. 4. War with Russia is
regarded here as unavoidable and tho
press Is urging tho immediato opening
of hostilities. All of the banks aro
withholding funds nnd It Is believed
this is the result of official instruc
tions. Tho government has completed
and perfected arrangements for tho
transportation of troop3 and supplies
and tho people calmly await develop
ments. TO DECLINE HIS GIFTS.

St. Louis, Jan. 3. John D. Rocke
feller has fallen into disfavor with
prominent Baptists interested In edu
cational work throughout tho country,
according to prominent Baptist edu
cators well known in St. Louis. It i3
given out on good authority that here
after no more gifts to Baptist theolog
ical and educational Institutions will
bo received from Rockefeller. Tho
high moral ground Is taken that those
contributions havo been indirectly
wrung from tho poor people of the
country by tho systematic advancing
of tho price of oil whenever a gift is
made. It is announced that tho Bap
tist society has discontinued its rela
tions with Mr. Rockefeller and that
hereafter all benefactions to colleges
nnd schools through tho educational
branch of the Baptist church will be
from others than Mr. Rockefeller.
