Loss by Fire at Yale University
VIII Not Exceed $4,000.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Dec. 12-Examina-
ton to-day by Yale officials of the damage
caused by the fire at the Yale forestry
school building indicated that the first esti-
mate of 100000 was much too large That
estimate was based the belief that the
herbarilim consisting of more than 5000
specimens of native and foreign shrubs and
trees. and the library OF 5000 volumes would
be pra ctically total loss. A later inspec-
ton of the building, however. showed that
these valuable collections, which are on the
second and third floors. escaped destruc-
ton. though injured somewhat by smoke
and water.
Arson Phelps Stokes. secretary of the
university, said the loss probably would not
exceed $4,000.

LONDON. Oct. 2.-Deprecating the ru-
mors of Japanese ultimatum to Russia
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to
Great Britain. in an Interview to-day
said he had no information OF such
a character, adding that had Japan
taken this action ''the AnElo-Japanese
treaty would have necessitated my being

between Russia and japan are imminent,
the mysterious movements OF the Russian
and Japanese fleets and the excited state
of public opinion in Japan are beginning
to cause disquiet in Great Britain, which,
by reason OF her alliance with Japan, IS
SO Intimately concerned In any action
which the latter may take in the Far
East. Only the most sanguine persons be-
lleve that in the event of host lities they
could be kept within the limits which
would free Great Britain from her obll-
CATION to support her Japanese ally. Even
Baron Hayashi who heretofore has lidi-
culed all suggestions Of war is not so OPP

possibility of war, by expressing the hope
that in the event of crisis. Japan will
have the active sympathy of her ally,
Great Britain.
While refusing to credit the reports OF
