CAPITOL
DAMAGED
Explosion of Gas the
Cause,
Many Valuable Records Were
Destroyed,
Supreme Court Library Ruined
Inestimable Loss.
By Associated Prow tn Hie Jonrnnl.
WA3iiiNaTON,Noy. 7. An explosion
and fire at 5:13 Sunday afternoon
wrecked the supreme court room and
the rooms Immediately adjoining It
oil the main floor ot the cupkol. The
damage Is enormous. The entire ecu
tral-castern part of the great marble
pile, from the main Door to tho sub
tcrrancau basement, practically Is a
iimbs of ruins. Tho torco of the ex
plosion wus so heavy that the coping
stones on the outer walls, just cast of
tl.e point where tho explosion oc
curred, were bulged out nearly two
Inches, und locked doors were forced
from their hinges quite 150 feet from
the scene of It. I'M re followed the
explosion so quickly as to seem pract.
ically simultaneous with It.
Before tho flames could be subdued,
tho priceless documents In tho record
room had been almost totally de
stroyed, ntid serious damage hud been
done in the marshal's otllceand so me
minor rooms In the Immediate vicin
ity. The library of(the supreme court,
located Immediately beneath the su.
prcmc court room, was badly damaged
by fire, smoke und wutcr, practically
destroying the great collection of law
reference books. Tho library con
tained about 20,000 volumes and was
used not only by the Justices of the
supremo court but by members of
congress and lawyers practicing be
fore the supremo court.
The Capitol building wjs the sccno
of wreck nna dissolution today, folnw
log the explosion of gas in the base
ment, under the supremo courtrooms
und tho tire which wrought serious
huvoo lust night. An examination
of supreme court room, however, It
showed the dumugo wus confined to
the dsscolored walls and celling and
soaked carpets. The main loss to
the court Is In marshals office,
and storago loom, where the valuable
old records are kopt. The oxtent of
this last loss is not yet determined.
Senator McMillan's committee room
on District of Columbia, was prepared
with a bench und seats for justices
and rows of scats for attorneys and
spectators, The quarters are rather
cramped. Assistant. Architect ot
Capitol, Wood, said:
"No heavy sustaining arches or
pillars have given way so far as found.
Kor the present lb does not seem that
rebuilding any part of the capltol
will be necessary"
Thodamago tliut cannot be made
good was done- In the tile room of the
supremo court In tho basement, were
were stored all the official records und
original copies of opinions, from the
foundation of the government, lint
few papers wore absolutely destroyed,
these which suffered that fa to were
among the most valuable In the room,
Including manuscript, prepared in
handwriting of Jurists during the
days of Washington, Jefferson and
Adams.
Justice Ilurluu said that the
library was very valuable. Many of
the works It contained would, he
thought, be dllllcult to replace.
Librarian Clarke, ufter a cursory
examination, necessarily made by the
light of lanterns, expressed the
opinion that many of the hooks could
bo saved, although they had been
drenched by water from the streams
poured into the library for two hours
or more after the explosion occurred.
Tho most serious damage, In the
opinion of the Justice of the supreme
court, Is to tho records stored In the
sub.basement. These included all of
the records of cases and opinions
rendered by the fathers of the Judic
iary of the government.

Ten State Tickets On the l3allot in Col

The speaking campaign In Colorado
closed with a great mooting, at which
United States Sonutor Teller und
Charles S. Thomas, Fusion candidate
for governor, wore the principal
speakers. Ex-United States Senator
Wolcott, accompanied by his brothor,
Henry 11, Wolcott, Itcpublnan cundl
dut6 for governor, has stumped tho
entire state, , being evorywhero
greeted by largo audiences. Tho
question of the frco coluago of silver
has been tho pilucipal Issue. Sonutor
Wolcott has contended that the Re
publican party Is friendly to silver
and will restore free collage through
International agreement, u new ratio
possibly being necessary. Ex Gover
nor Waltc.tho former Populist leader,
has been supporting the Republican
ticket.
There nro practically only four
state tickets, although 10 parties are
named on the olllclal ballot. Thomas
Is the gubernatorial candidate ot tho
Democrats, Populists, Teller Silver
Republicans, national People's und
liberty Union parties. Henry R.
Wolcott heads tho Republican, Silver-
Republican and Western Republican
tickets. The Prohibition and social
ist labor parties have Independent
stato tlckots headed respectively by
Robert M. Rhodes and Nixon Elliott.
A. R, Seaman, Republican stato
chulrmuu, predicts WolcottN elcotnn
by 15,000 majority. Tho fusion chair,
men say their tlckot will have 50,000
to 00.000 majority. Congressmen
Shafroth, Silver-Republican, und Roll,
Populist, It Is generally bollovcd, will
be re-elected. Tho fuslonlsts will
curr the legislature, but tho Re
publicans hope to electa majority or
18 overbold senators who will vote In
tho election of Senator Wolcotl's suc
cessor In 1001,
The Ohio campaign practically
closed In Cincinnati, In this county,
which Includes tho first nud l second
congressional districts, there ' has
been no speaking oxcopt by locul tat
ent until whou Charles Emery
Smith, Postmastqr-goncrnl, and Gen
eral Charles Grosvonor, congressman
from the Athens district, addressed
tho Republicans at Music hall. The
Domocruts closed tho campalng with
mcotlnga nddrcssed by local candi
dates. Factional differences huvo
caused Independent and Fuelon
tlckots here tho punt two years, but
this your there are straight pa'ty
tlckots only. For this reason tho Re
publicans will likely elect both
congressmen.' .
