QL '& MIN NEAP LIS OFFICE, ** 20 WASHINGTON AY. SOUTH . Advertising— Subscriptions— Tel. -.'796 J-l. Tel. 2790 J-4 There is, apparently, a serious hitch existing or pending In the consideration of the plans for the new Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce bui.d'ng. While there is an indisposition on the part of those directly concerned to discuss the matter, the facts seems to be fairly well understood that Mr. Lowry's plans, not withstanding that gentleman's repeated efforts to get them Into acceptable shape, are not approved by the representatives of the chamber. The difficulty arises from Mr. Lowry's evident inability to secure the property necessary for the alleyway on the north side of the pro posed new building. Without this alley space the internal arrangements of tho structure must necessarily be so al tered as to seriously abridge the capacity of the board room, as well as the space to be allotted to office room. The general talk yesterday reflected a spirit of growing Impatience over the delay, and some members of the cham ber boldly put forth the suggestion that the courts should be called upon to annul the vote of the directory accepting Mr. Lowry's original offer. President Harrigan has not yet re turned from New York, and It was said yesterday that his presence here is very much desired. It is hinted that certain features of an Irritating character have developed during the progress of con sideration of the subject, and that an early break down of the scheme is not improbable.

WIPED OUT A TOWN FIRE CARRIES PANIC TO THE RES IDENTS OF VICTOR, IN CRIP PLE CREEK DISTRICT BUSINESS PORTION DESTROYED Two Million Dollars "Will Not More Than Cover Losses Sustained by the Owners of Property Burned- Dynamite Used to Check Advance of Flames, but Failed, Owing: to Inflammable Material. CRIPPLE CREEK, Col., Aug. 27.—A fire has utterly destroyed the business portion of the city of Victor, causing a loss estimated at $2,000,000. Beginning shortly after noon the fire raged until evening, consuming everything in its way. It had its origin, it is thought, In the Merchants* cafe, adjoining the Bank of Victor, on the corner of Third street and Victor avenue. A strong wind from the south fanned the flam« 3 and in a few minutes all the surrounding houses were afire. Help was summoned from Cripple Creek, but the town had been built In the early days of the camp and was of pine timber for the most part, and burn ed like paper. Efforts were made to stop the progress of the flames by blow ing up buildings in their path by means of dynamite, and all afternoon the hills have roared with the explosions, but the effort was in vain. MADE A CLEAN SWEEP. The fire claimed the Bank of Victor, the postoffice on the corner opposite, crossed Third street and followed the row of blocks between Third and Fourlh streets to the north, taking the Victor Banking company, the Western Union Telegraph company's office and the of fice of the Colorado Telephone'company, the Hotel Victor on the opposite side of Fourth and the three shaft houses of the Gold Coin Mining company and its ore bins, among the largest in Cripple Creek district. From there the flames were swept northward by the half hurricane which was blowing and never stopped until they had taken the Florence and Cripple Creek depots and the fine new depot of the Midland Terminal road at the head of Fourth street. All the buildings be tween those are a total loss, with prac tically their contents, for tha flames were so rapid in their progress that nothing could be saved. PEOPLE IN A PANIC. The scenes of the great Cripple Creek fire were duplicated. Hurrying before the roaring flames went men, women and children, carrying what they could snatch from the flames. The crash of buildings torn asunder by dynamite and the crackle of the flames as they consumed the dry buildings, hastened their flight, and the pall of smoke added a terror to the spectacle. A special train was placed at the com mand of this city by the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad and three com panies of firemen, with apparatus, were rushed to the scene. They worked all afternoon In a vain endeavor to stay the march of the flames. The resldencs portion of the city has suffered com paratively little, but the business por tion is paralyzed and suffering is bound to follow. The burned area may be thoroughly designated- as the space be tween the head of North street and Vic tor avenue, extending from the Gold Coin mine buildings on the west to a point near Second street, and down Third street almost to Diamond avenue. It Is thought at this hour (6 p. m.) that the fire can be prevented from spreading any further. The loss has now reached $2,000,000. The first house was built in Victor ln October, 1893. In July of the follow ing year the city was Incorporated and six years later it contained 10,000 people. That is about the population now. RED MEN AT BRAINERD.

SHOWED HIS HAM) Continued from First Page. charges against him, even the most ob vious and least important things, and in declaring himself Ignorant of matters which should have been known to every officer of the general staff. The witness- said he was cognizant of Dreyfus' relations with loose women. In support of this assertion, he mentioned an alleged voluntary statement made by Mathieu Dreyfus, brother of the prisoner, in the witness' presence, that he had been obliged to pull his brother from tho clutches of a woman of this description living near the Champs Elysees. M. Gribelln recapitulated the discovery of the leakage at military headquarters, the arrival of the bordereau, etc., and dwelt on the system of espionage con ducted under cover of diplomatic im munity, by agents "A" and "B" and "C." ■ DISCOVERY OF BORDEREAU. Maj. Lauth followed. He traversed the ground covered by the evidence before the criminal division of the court of cas sation in regard to the circumstances under which Henry communicated tho j bordereau. He said that when the bor ! dereau reached the intelligence depart ! ment Henry was absolutely the only of- I -ficer who knew the agent who fur- I nished it, and was the only officer known !to the agent. Henry, he explained, had appointments with the foreign spy in question only on the evnings at 8 or 9 o'clock at night, at various places, so it was impossible for Henry to hand the papers received to Col. Sandherr the same evening. Next, discussing the petit bleu, Maj. Lauth said it reached C6i. Picquart, en closed in a packet, early In March. In cidentally, the witness mentioned the mission to Nancy on which Henry went, and said that while he was absent his wife came to the Intelligence department to ask for his whereabouts, as she knew nothing of his departure. "It was the same with all officers of the department," said Lauth. "Our fami lies never knew where we were gong when we were sent on a mission, and it was through the department that they corresponded with us. That proves that things were not conducted in the fourth bureau as alleged by Col. Picquart, and the officers' were not so negligent and careless as he has asserted." Witness maintained this alone disposed of Picquart's assertion that Henry was in the habit of working at hr.me in the presence of servants. As a matter of fact, he added, the officers were very reserved before their families. Continu ing, witness proceeded to speak of Pic quart's orders to destroy all evidence of the petit bleu having been torn, and to determine the office or origin by affixing a postmark. Maj. Lauth's extremely long deposition was listened to in profound silence. He protested against Picquart's allegations against him in the course of the Traver nier inquiry, when Picquart-represented Lauth as the Instigator, and perhaps also the writer of the Henry forgery. -77 UGLY ALLEGATIONS. Capt. Juneke followed. He said he was a probationer simultaneously with Drey fus, but in another department of the war office. He saw the prisoner a great deal and held conversations, in which, he al leged,. Dreyfus spoke of great sums he had lost in gambling and intercourse with loose women. "One day," the witness proceeded, "when we were visiting the Concours Hippique, we met three immoral women who bowed to us. Dreyfus returned their greeting, and I said to him: 'Well, for a married man. you have nice acquaint ances.' He replied that they were old friends of his bachelorhood, and, point ing to one of them, said her name was Valtesse and that she had a house on the Champs Elysees,where she gave nice par- MUNYON'S GUARANTEE.

It Is abaolutalj tra*. ties, where pretty women were to be met and where there was much gambling. Dreyfus also boasted of his large means and spoke with ■■■ great relish of his com fortable house and travels." The witness, continuing, said Dreyfus was well acquainted with the scheme for the concentration of troops and could trace it on any map, as most of the other probationers could. The monotony of the session at this juncture was suddenly broken by M. Ber tulus. Capt. Juneke was describing Inci dents with Mile. Pays, said to have oc curred in the magistrate's office one even ing, when Esterhazy and his mistress, both in the highest spirits, discussed what they should drink, and, he added, Mile. Pays removed her bodice. M. Demange. asked Capt. Juneke why he had not given the court of cassation information of the character which he ad duced today as proof against Dreyfus, and why he had told the court of cassa tion he had seen nothing in the conduct of Dreyfus to lead to the belief that he was a traitor. This somewhat confused the captain, who replied that he had not thought of it, but added that he adhered to today's statements about the charac ter of the prisoner. Dreyfus, after being asked the usual question, replied: "I will not speak to the witness of pri vate confidences he has made to me. If Capt. Juneke's ideas of honor allow him to divulge private conversation, mine do not. I have clean hands and will keep them clean. But there are a number of facts to which I will refer; I speak first in regard to all the losses It is said I sustained at the club at Mans. I declare I was never a member of the Civil club at Mans; never visited it, and conse quently never gambled there. I am con vinced that the members of the club are very respectable and ask you simply to have an inquiry made in order to know If I am speaking the truth. In regard to the lectures in the office of the head quarters staff, at which It was asserted 1 was present, they occurred in Decem ber, 1893. I was absent at that time, and consequently did not attend the lectures." DREYFUS EXPLAINS. The prisoner then proceeded to show that in July, 1894, the probationers were Informed by an official circular that they were to pass a period of probation in the army, the first year in August and Sep tember and the second year in October, November and December, therefore at a period when there were no maneuvers. Regarding the officers directing the dis patch of troops at various points, Drey fus dwelt upon the fact that he at that lime was on a mission and was not at the maneuvers at all.

ROME, Aug. 21.—A prominent Italian politician, according to the Don Chisl otte del Mancha, has In his possession one of the most complete documents re ferred to In the bordereau In the Dreyfus case, and the handwriting is unquestion ably not that of Capt. Dreyfus. SCHNEIDER WILL SUE. Another Senna! to Be Sprung in the Dreyfus Case. PARIS, Aug. 21.—A dispatch from Ems says that Col. Schneider, the Austrian military attache, whose alleged letter incriminating Dreyfus has been one of the principal weapons of the prosecu tion, has started for Paris with the pur pose of instituting proceedings for for gery and the employment of forged doc uments against those responsible for the authorship and use of the letter, which he has already distinctly repudiated. EVIDENCE EXISTS. Can Be Shown That Dreyfus Is an i Innocent Man.

Incendiary Suspected of Wreaking Vengeance Upon a Minister. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—The barn on the Horace Greely estate at Chappaqua, N. V., was partly burned early this morn ing. The blaze is believed to have been the work of an. Incendiary. Rev. F. M. Clendenin, rector of St. Peter's church, of Westchester, which was burned last week, has been living on the Greely es tate this summer. When the church was burned Dr. Clendenin was at Chappa qua, and when the barn was burned this morning he was at Westchester. The burning of the barn will be regarded as strengthening the theory of incendiar ism expressed by Dr. Clendenin regard ing the burning of St. Peter's. Dr. Clen denin believes that St. Peter's was set on lire by some member of the "broad church" party, who had become bitter over the controversy that arose, with Dr. Clendenin's protest against the ordina tion of Dr. Briggs ln St. Peter's.
