The fire involves the building of a new Capitol, a specizl session of the Legislature and the probable renewal of the agitation ; in favor of the remcval of the capital from Madison to Milwaukee. The fire, | which was caused by defective electric wiring, ruined the east and west wings, containing the Senate and Assembly chambers and the departments of the Tax Commission, the Adjutant General, Railroad Commissioner, State Superin- | tendent of Schools, Superintendent of Public Property, Board of Agriculture, | State Normal School, Commission of Fisheries, Fish and Game Warden, State Board of Pharmacy, State Land Office, Dairy and Food Commission, State Treasurer, Commissioner of La- bor, Governor, Secretary of State, State Board of Control and Insurance Com- missioner, the Supreme Court law library and the State Library Commis- sion. RECORDS IN VAULTS. Practically all the valuable State rec- ords are believed to be safe. Most of them remain in masonry and steel vauits in the ruins. Governor Schofield maintained insur- ance on the building throughout his term totaling $600,000, but the last Leg- | islature instituted an insurance fund and directed the State’s officers to al- low the insurance policies to lapse. In June last there lapsed $510,000, and in December the policies for $90,000. There is in the insurance fund at the | present time about $6000 to meet lhei which conservative estimates place | at $800,000. The fire practically devas- | tated every portion of the Capitol building, with the exception of the | north-end. This was saved, but is in | such a delapidated condition that this | portion, together with the standing | walls, will have to be torn down. LAW LIBRARY SAVED. ! Governor La Follette was early on | > scene and by his coolness and self- | | | | | | | loss, ion did much to enforce order | among the workers. All the contents | of the immense law library were car- | H-(l out, together with a large quan- | of other books and papers. The | less records stored in the Grand | Army room also were saved. | Chief Charles Bernard was overcome | by smoke and fell from a ladder, re- ceiving serious injuries. He is uncon- Aus. | »ym an original cost of $60,000 in | appropriations from time to time } for mew additions made the cost of | the State Capitol to date about $900,000. —_————————————— | WILL TRAD! | WITH YEL PARK Golden Gate Herd Is to Receive Some | Young Animals From the Na- | tional Reserve. The Park Commissioners have ar- ranged for an exchange of buffaloes be- | tween the Golden Gate Park herd and | that in the Yellowstone National Park. | In June next they will receive a young bull and a heifer from the national re- serve. | | Major John Pitcher, U. S. A., super- intendent of the Yellowstone National Park, was in the city during the week | and while here inspected the animals | at the local pleasure ground. He was jof American wild animals and pro- nounced the buffale owned by the city to be as good specimens as can be| found anywhere. As inbreeding, how- ever, is liable to injure the stock, he | agreed with Commissioner Reuben H. Lloyd to furnish a pair selected from | the growing herd at the National Park, the San Francisco Park Commission giving up a pair of its own buffalo in | exchange. { Major Pitcher has succeeded in do- | mesticating great numbers of deer and other game at Fort Yellowstone. Dur- | ing the winters the reservation is prac- tically deserted, and at this season the superintendent has. large quantities of feed scattered on the ground near his \nwn quarters. So quickly do the ani- mals learn that they are safe from molestation that deer, elk, antelope and | even Rocky Mountain sheep, the most shy of all American game, now come to the park in increasing numbers { every winter, knowing that they will | find feed in abundance there and be | free from attack. The same thing is } seen in Golden Gate Park, where flocks | of mallards and other ducks feed on | the lakes in perfect confidence that the regulaticns against the use of fire- | arms will protect them. Major Pitcher found the elk at the park surprisingly tame, they coming at the call of a fa- | miliar attendant. There are now twenty-six elk in | Golden Gate Park, with fifteen deer of | different varieties, including the beau- tiful Persian spotted deer; also two antelope, nine buffalo and four kanga- roos. A young buffalo bull which the Park Commission obtained last year | by exchange with Willlam F. Cody, | better known as Buffalo Bill, died soon after reaching the park. ———— Draughtsmen Wanted.

EVERY FURNACE IN FULL BLAST Bessemer Pig Iron Company Closes Big Contract With United States Steel Trust CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 27.—The United States Steel Corporation to-day closed a contract with the Bessemer Pigiron Company for 130,000 tons of St. Petershurg has the highest death rate for any European capital— 51 per 1000. pigiron at $13 at the valley furnaces. Directly and indirectly this will em- nloy 3000 men. It will require all the | combined output of all the furnaces in the -Mahoning and Shenango valleys, some of which have been idle for six months. The price at which the pig- iron was sold is an advance of about 60 cents per ton over the price pre- vailing in January. Every blast furnace owned by the United States Steel Corporation in the Central West is now in full operation and the material contracted for to-day is in addition to its own output. The feeling among steel men in this city to- day was distinctly optimistic, express- ing the opinion that the period of de- pression experienced in some quarters during the past several months has season of renewed prosperity in the iron trade are exceedingly good. The starting up of the Mahoning and Shen- ango Valley furnaces will stimulate the demand for coke, it is said, and the sincle order given by the United run its course and that prospects for a | States Steel Corporation to-day will re- | contradicted every particle of testi- quire at least 130,000 tons of coke and | mony given by Vezie and Flory.
