n Total Loss.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND. Va, April 1O-Meyers Bros.
department store, the largest in the SOUTH
is a total loss from fire which started in
the carpet department on the third floor at
$50 o'clock this morning. The big store
was Immediately filed with smoke and the
80 employees ran for their lives.
A gale of wind was blowing and the un-
Sfertaking establishment of w. l. Johnston
soon caught and was destroyed. The mag
nificent Grace Street Baptist Church, which
burned a few years ago and has just been
restored at a cost of 100000. was in i'm
minent danger and was saved by the most
doCged and persistent work in narrow al
leys, where the firemen were in great peril.
A number of other buildings caught and
for half an hour the entire block seemed
doomed.
The reserve department responded to
three alarms from small fires during the
progress OF the larger fire, and soon as
the big confiagration was under control
part of the apparatus was sent to 18th and
Leigh streets, where three dwellings were
burning.
This will probably nearly cover the loss.
Ten thousand dollars will probably cover
the other losses The front wall of Meyers
store fell into Broad street during the prog
ress of the fire and only a warning cry and
quick movements of a score of firemen pre-
vented their deaths.

SATISFACTORY To JAPAN.
Foreign Office Dispels Reports as to a
Rupture With Itussfa.=

The Japanese minister. Mr.. TakAhira, to-
day received advices from the foreign office
at Toxic entirely dispelling the alarming
reports as to Russo-Japanese rupture, and
showing that the Japanese government ac-
cepted the latest declaration of Russia on
Manchuria with the same sense Of salts
faction that it had been received In the
United States. Mr.. Takanifa called at the
State Department at noon and Informed
Secretary Hay of the gratifying turn Of
events.
The position Of Japan as now defined in
the highest official quarter, Is practically
the same as that of the United States. A
copy of the recent Russian communication
was delivered to Japan at the same time
it was given to the United States, and al
though the texts differ slightly, they are
alike on all material points The Japanese
government now makes known that 1t ac-
cepts this declaration as made in entire
good faith, and, like the United States, it is
quite satisfied to leave the Manchurian
question in it's present status The assur-
ances given by Russia are of such char
acter that the Japanese authorities con-
fidently look forward to a. course of action
which will remove the perplexity and dan
gers in which the issue has been involved
thus far. AS the other powers have al
ready indicated their acceptafice OF the
Russian declaration, the course of Japan
removes the last possibility of division and
appears to restore the harmonious concert
which has thus far proceeded IN dealing
with China. 81,

Specu1atiOn Revived Regarding the
Coming Judge Advocate General.
An order issued by the War Department
detacbing from duty at West Point Lieut.
Col George b. Davis, judge advocate at
the academy, has had TIE effect to revive
speculation as to the succession to the Of
flee of Judge advocate general of the army
to become vacant next month through the
retirement Of Judge Advocate Gen. Lieber,
Col Davis, though well down on the list OF
senior officers of the legal department OF
the army, is regarded as a promising candi-
date principally because of a determination
attributed to the President of naming no
officer for head of a staff corps who shall
not have before him some years OF servlce
before retirement. If the President has not
committed himself to this policy. and ct
least three prominent army officers are OF
the contrary opinion. it is within MS power
and quite in the line of precedents, TO ap-
point to the office of judge advocate general
and retire in the order named, Col Clous,
Col Barr and Col. Hunter, the three senior
officers of the legal corps.
