There was a reaction in the stock mar
ket yesterday that may or may not be
significant with relation to the Maine
disaster and the attitude of the Admins
tration. Prices went up and, although
the business was dun, there was certainly
less the aspect Of expectancy of war than
On any day since the wreck of the battle
ship. There is 4 feeling in the street that
may be unfounded perhaps. that there
has been 4 change in the attitude of the
Administration on the question of war.
The suggestion crept out yesterday that
the heavy spectators had been given the
tip 10y someone they trusted, that war is
a very remote possibility il was also
said by people who have good information
usually that the Administration brokers
have received the information that the
report Of the board Of inquiry will not be
allowed TO come in for several weeks
probably, and that it will then be of
such an innocuous nature as will allow
Of the avoidance Of war. These are the
rumors of the Maine disaster incident
There were other matters in the market
situation, however, that had weight un-
dOubtedly and that may be held ac-

the failure Of the Supreme Court to act

NEW YORK'S BIG FIRE.
II is Now Believed Total Loss Will
Not Exceed S500,000.
Contractors Begin Taking Down Walls Of
Rodgers, Peet & Co.'s Building.

New York, Dec. 5.--A large force Of
firemen was still busy at I o'clock this
morning pouring water on the ruins OF
the buildings burned by the big Broad
way fire last night. Shortly before
o'clock contractors with a gang or men
arrived and prepared TO take down the
walls of the Rodgers, Peet & Co. build
ing, which threatened 10 fall. The
work is dangerous and impedes Broad
way traffic.
1t is thought that one of the walls of
the Home Life building Is badly
cracked from the fifth floor.
Deputy Chief Croker stated that, in
his opinion, the losses would not be as
heavy as was at first estimated. He
places the total loss at 100000.
T.. G. Cochrane, superintendent OF the
Postal Telegraph company, said today
that none of the wires of the company
was damaged.
The offices of the rapid transit COM
missioners are said TO be a total wreck.
1t is probable that all OF the valuable
plans. specifications and other papers
OF the commission have been destroyed.
Should this prove to be the case, the
work of providing a satisfactory rapid
transit system for this city would be
seriously interfered with and delayed.
The Merchants Exchange National
cracked from the fifth floor up.
Life building, secured a temporary
place of business at an early hour in

to the bank was from water.
