CAPITOL DESTROYED. Pennsylvania Legislative Halls In. Ruins. ' LOSS ESTIMATED AT $1,.00,000. InefBcleney of the Harrlabnrg Volunteer Fire Department Itlamed Merwbeia of the Legislature Saved All They Could Insurance Only 300,000. IlARRisBrRG, Feb. 3. The Pennsyl vania state capitol has been destroyed by fire, the lepislative halls are in ruins, iud a new structure must rise from the ashes that has served as a meeting Ilaee of the Pennsylvania lepislature since The flames within the short space of one hour ate up $1,500,000 worth of property. The inefficiency of the HarrieburR volunteer fire depart ment is generally blamed. The house was in session and the sen ate was about to convene after a few minutes recess, when the flames were discovered. Smoke could be seen, in jniall volumes pouring out into the capitol grounds from the house win dows. The members were not mindful of it until the great clouds rolled by tne windows. Instantly there was a motion to adjourned and all was con sternation. In the senate the members were loll ing about in their seats. The place began to smell of smoke and soon dense clouds rolled down the rear elevator shaft. Senator John G. Grady of Phil adelphia quickly warned the senators and thero was a general hustle to re move effects. Fire alarms were sent in and the dignified senate became a mass of howling men. Desks were being jerked loose and carried out. The same work was going on in the house chamber. Out in the grounds great crowds quickly gathered. The flames were then shooting out of the roof over the lieutenant governor's chamber, where the fire originated. The fire department was slow to arrive and the hosemen alout the capitol were doing their utmost to check the blaze. It was use less. The fir licked up the little 6treams of water. At last the local companies started streams on the senate wing roof, then a sheet of tie mes. The water had hardly force enough to reach the blaze. RaDialy the flames destroyed the roof and ate their way down into the senate chamber. The men who were trying to recover proierty were driven out. The flames shot along the senate roof, wound themselves about the dome and on to the roof of the house chamber. Al though there was a heavy rain and snow falling the woodwork burned like tin der. Soon there was a fire in every portion of the building and there was no hope for the historic structure. Dur ing the fire several persons were slight ly injured by falling timbers. For a time it looked as though the adjoining apartment buildings would be de stroyed, but a shifting wind saved them. The records of this session were saved. The contractor for the improvements in progress had an insurance of $70,000, his contract not being finished. The departments in the burned build ing were the following : Senate and house committee rooms, senate librarian's room, senate chief chief clerk's room, smoking room, bar ber shop in senate, lieutenant governor's room, room of president pro tern., school department, house chief clerk's room, 8jeaker of house's room, resi dent clerk's room, two telegraph offices, room of the Harrisburg Legislative Cor respondents association, paster and folder departments, cloak rooms in both branches and the engine rooms. There is talk of finishing the session either in Pittsburg or Philadelphia, but Senate Librarian Miller says a building can be secured here. Superintendent of Public Buildings Delaney. who estimates the total loss to be $1,500,000, said : 'I will fight for the rebuilding on the colonial style. We will have a meeting of the building committee as soon as the house and senate committees can be appointed. 1 don't think that it is pos sible to take the session away from Harrisburg, which city is named in the constitution as the place of meeting." There is not much over $190,000 in surance on the building and contents, according to the statement of the treasury othel a Is. The burned capitol was built early in the centurv, but was nevertheless re garded as one of the handsomest speci mens of Ionic architecture in the country. The building was of red brick, with white trimmings. It was surrounded by a park of ten acres and stood on an eminence almost in the center of the city. The main structure was two and one-hall stories high, surmounted by a large dome, from which a fine view of the surrounding country could be had. Ihe capitol s dimensions were : Length, ISO feet ; width, SO feet. The cornerstone was laid on May 31, 1819, by Governor iindlay. The build Ing wa finished in mil and was first occupied by the general assembly on the 3d of January, On each side was a wing, that on the north being oc cupied by the senate and the southern wing by the house. At each end of the building, separated from it by a narrow space, are located two buildings con taining the state treasury department and adjutant general's office and other state offices. About 100 feet south is the modern granite building known as the executive building, recently erected at a cost of nearly $1,000,000, for the ac commodation of the governor, attorney general and secretary of state. This building also shelters the state library and a portion of it is used as a state museum. The library is one of the finest in the world, and, until ten years ago, was quartered in the struc ture destroyed by lire. It was the dan ger from fire that constantly menaced the library in the old building that in duced the authorities to erect the fire proof structure in which it is now lo cated. President Pro Tem. McCarrell of the senate and Speaker Beyer of the house and the members of the board of public property met to arrange for places of meeting for both branches of the legis ture today. It was decided that the senate shall meet in the supreme court room and arrangements were made for the meeting oi the house in a room on the second floor of the postottice building. Governor Hastings is expected to send a message to the legislature today in reference to the destruction of the capi tol building and recommending imme diate action on the part of the legisla ture with a view to the restoration of the capitol building. It is likely that joint sessions of both branches of the legislature will be held today or tomorrow to decide upon the future meeting places. The loss is hard to estimate. Many iocuments went up in fire and smoke that no price can be fixed on. They can never be replaced. There are perpetual policies of insur ance, aggregating $123,000 on all the Ftate buildings, but how much of this is credited to the capitol is not known. In addition to this, $-40,000 was taken Dut on the capitol building after the library was removed. There were five year poli' ies on the main building prior to the removal of the library, aggregating $400,000, di vided among a large number of com panies of this country and Great Britain.

Wherever the word "person" is used, meaning the fifth member of the tri bunal, -person" is stricken out and "umpire'' inserted. Article 7 in the original treaty read as follows : Objections to the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal constituted under this treaty shall not lc taken, except as pro vided" in this article. If before the close of the hearinsi upon a claim submitted to an arbitral tribunal con.-titn'ed under article :i or article 5. either of the high contracting parties shall move such tri bunal to decide, and thereupon it all decide that the determination of such claim necessarily involves the deci.-ion of a disputed question of principle of grave general importance affecting the national rights of sucli party us distinguished from the private rights whereof it is merely the international representative, the juris diction f such arbitral tribunal ovei such claim shall cease and the same .-ball be dealt with by arbitration under arti cle 7.

The committee struck out entirely and without inserting anything in its place article 10, which provided that King Oscar of Sweden should have the naming of the umpire in case of dispute. DIED DEFENDING HER HONOR. More Detail of Klla Clark's Death Near Apollo Shelhammer Dead. Apollo, Pa., "Feb. 3. Jasper Shel hammer, the murderer of Miss Ella Clark, has died at his home without re covering consciousness from the wound he inflicted on himself. A poker was found in the girl's right hand. The young woman had had trouble with young Shelhammer on the preced ing Thursday, when he visited her, be cause she would not "promise him something." He threatened to kill himself, flourishing a revolver at the same time. She coaxed the weapon away from him, and kept her parents ignorant of the affair. Saturday she returned the revolver to his mother, saying: "Jasper threatened to kill him self if I do not promise him some thing." The young man again obtained the revolver from his mother and used it in the murtler and suicide. Some time before this Shelhammer cot into trouble for assaulting a little girl on her way home from school. Miss Clark's char acter was above reproach. The fact that bruises were found on his body that- had doubtless ben made by the poker wielded by Miss Clark, and that he had threatened to accom plish her downfall, indicated that Miss Clark yielded her young life in defense of her honor. Miss Clark was a member of the Boil ing Springs Lutheran church and an active Sunday school worker. A SUCCESSOR TO ROBERTS. Frank Tlioinaon Likely to lie Promoted to the 1'lare Today.

A in I The Venezuelan Treaty Signed at Washington. ONE 3I0RE ACT YET TO FOLLOW. The Document -Mast Now lie Kutlflfdbj the Venezuelan Congress I'uuiicefote and .lDilrade A nixed Their Signatures Content of the Document. Washington, Feb. 3. As the repre sentatives of their respective govern ments. Sir Julian Pauncefot !, the Brit ish ambassador, and Senor Jose An- drade, the Venezuelan n.inister to Washington, at the state department, have signed a treaty providing for the settlement by arbitration of the lone standing dispute over the boundary be tween Venezuela and British Guiana, which has not only rupturtd the rela tions between the princinals and kept them apart diplomatically for years, but has threatened to involve the two great Knglish speaking nations in hos tilities. The treaty was really complete sev eral days ago so far as all of the details were concerned, except the insertion of one name, and there a blank was left to fill in with the name of a British jurist. Some difficulty had been experi enced in finding the second member of the British supreme tribunal who was willing to assume the arduous task of arbitrator and also could be spared from the bench. Such a person has been found in Justice Collins and his ap pointment has been ratified by the British privy council, a necessary for mality. So all was ready for the signa ture of the treaty. Sir Julian came to the state depart ment in company with his attache. Henry Outram Bax-Ironside. S nor Andrade followed in a short time with Mr. Morrow, ainl the parties were shown at once into Secretary Gluey 's private office, where the siretarywas awaiting them. A few minutes' delay occurred lelore Senor Ponte, the at tache of the Venezuelan legation, came in. and then the party proceeded at once to the business of the day. Mr. Cridler and Mr. Bax-lrouMrle made a careful comparison of the two copies, and then Sir Julian signed both of them. Set: "r Andrade placed his name after Sir Julian and Mr. Cridler af fixed the seals, with the aid of Mr. Blankford, private secretary to Secre tary Olney, and the treaty was an ac complished fact, save the single act of ratification by the Venezuelan congress. The siguatun s were written with a special pen, a beautiful gold holder and nib. tipped with an eagle feather and ornamented with a gold heart studded with diamonds. This was sent from Venezuela for the purpose and will be the property of Senor Andrade, brother of the minister. The treaty provides that the tribunal shall consist of five jurists: two on the part of Great Britain, nominated by the members of the judicial committee of her majesty's privy council, namely, the Right Hon. Baron Herschell and the Hon. Sir Richard Henn Collins, one of the justices of her Britannic ma jesty's supreme court of judicature; two on the part of Venezuela, namely, the Hon. Melville Weston Fuller, chief justice of the United States of America, and one nominated by the justices of the supreme court of the I'nited States of America, namely, the Hon. David Josiah Brewer, a justice of the supreme court of the I'nited States of America; and n fifth jurit to le selected by the four persons so nominated; or in the event of their fail ure to agree within three months from the date of the exchange of ratifications of the present treaty, to be selected by his majesty, the king of Sweden mid Norway. The jurist so selected shall be president of the tribunal. In case of death the supreme judicial council of Khgland or the I'nited. States supreme court shall, by majority vote, fill the vacancy. In deciding the matters of dispute the tribunal shall lie. governed by the follow ing rules: Adverse holding or prescript ion during a period of oo years shall make a good title. (B) The arbitrators may recognize and give effect to risrhts and claims resting on any other ground whatever valid accord ing to international law. (t'l In determining the boundary line, if terrytory of one party lie found by the tribunal to have been at the date of this treaty in the occupation of the sub jects or citizens of the other party, such effect shall be given to such occupation as reason, justice, the principles of interna tional law and the cijuitics of the case shall, in the opinion of the tribunal, re ouirc The arbitrators shall meet in Paris, within to days after the pritcd arguments shall le delivered to them. It is left with the discretion of the tribunal to change the place of meeting. All questions considered liy the tri bunal, including the final decision, shall be determined by a majority of all the arbitrators. Kach of the high contracting parties shall name one person as its agent to at tend the tribunal and to represent it gen eially on all matters connected with the tribunal. Provision is made for the presentation of printed rtrguim nts anil counterargu ments and all documents and reports Shall he available to both sides. The decision of the tribunal shall, if fiossible be made within three months mm the close of the. argument on both Bides.

Mr. Chandler has introduced a monetary resolution in the senate. He said he would call up tne resolution in a day or so for the pur pose of making a few remarks in strik ing contrast to those recently made by the gold mouometalhst from Wisconsin (Vilas) and the silver monometallist from South Dakota (Pettigrew), who had joined hands in voting against tho Oill lor an international monetary con ference. The resolution is as follows: That it is the sense of the senate that tne l nited states should not permanently acquiesce in the single gold standard, anil that the efforts ol the government in all its branches should be steadily directed to secure and maintain the use of silver as well as gold as the standard of money with the tree coinage of botn, under a system of bimetallism to be established through international agreement with such safeguards of legislation as will in sure the rarity ot value of thetwo metals at a fixed ratio; furnish a sufficient vol ume of metallic money and give immu nity to the world of trade from violent fluctuations of exchange.

The Aus tralian murderer, Butler, who has been caught on the bark Swanhilda, has a bloody record. The police and detectives had watched for the vessel three weeks. Butler is credited by the Australian police with having murdered 14 men. His plan was to entice men whom he knew to have money into the interior under the pretense of examining min ing claims and then murdering them. His last victim was Captain Leo Weller. a retired sea captain. Butler took his money and clothes and shipped on the Swanhilda under the name of Weller. The Australian detectives have ideuti fied Butler. Butler says a man is ini ocent until he is proven guilty. He a.Tects to be rather amused than otherwise at his predicament. He is below medium height and is decidedly insignificant in appearance. He has a malevolent ex pression, but hardly looks like a con firmed criminal. He is apparently about 27 years old and his address sug gests a man of fair education. A photograph of Mrs. Weller, a pair of Bluchers on which were stamped Weller s name, two watches, a specta cle case and watch chain with locket bearing Leo Weller's name and a num ber of looks on the flv leaves of which were the names of Weller and his wife and many other articles recorded by de tectives as positively connecting him with the murdered sea captain and prospector were found in Butler's bag gage.
