reasons why the fire should get beyond
control, except that stiff wind was
blowing--and there must have been
winds times enough before during fires
in that city.
The fire just simply came and
WASN'T stopped before it grew too big
to be handled-that's all. The firemen
may or may not have been slow and
lacking in energy. At any rate the
department. is likely to get pretty
Thorough overhauling. But the stree Is
were narrow so that the flames could
easily reach across them, and owing TO
tho extreme prevalence of the lease
hold system, old structures, built en-.
tirely of wood, were plenty in the dis
trict burned Many other cities may
be IN the same condition, but after
such a lesson it would seem that they
might begin to enact and live up to
building ordinances that would tend
to obviate the danger With the aver
age yearly loss by fire in the United
States during the past fourteen ~ ears
little more than $40, 600, coo, 'the
great calamity of ire like this can

THE BALTIMORE FIRE.

The Baltimore fire will take rank as
one of the greatest this world has
known, of an accidental origin. AL
though reports at first set the losses at
about $500, 600, 600, it now appears
probable that less than half that sum
will be nearer right Accepting 1925,
600, 600, the figures set at n meeting
of the insurance men, as correct, the
fire stands next to the great Chicago
fire in amount of losses. There have
been number of very serious fires in
this country in the past century of
which the following are the princi.
pal:
Chicago, 1871, $3.50, 600, 900, $50 lives.
Boston. 1879, $50. 600, 600, IA lives.
st. John. N, b., 1877, $50. O0O, 900,
10 lives.
Ottawa. 1880, ST., 900, 900. 7 lives.
New York. 1885. ST., 600, no
lives.
New York, 1916. So. 900. 600. A lives.
Portland, Me-, 1886, sl5, 900, 600 no
lives.
Hobokep, 1900, 81, 600, 600, $50 lives.
Jacksonville, 1901, $40, 900, no
lives.
1t is to be remarked about the Balti-
more fire that no lives were lost so far
as is known, while in every other large
fire, with one exception, for which fig.
ures are given some lives, and in most
cases many, were lost. 1t is also re-
markabie about this latest fire that
there was no unusual reason for the
spread of the flames. There were no
frozen hydrants or blocked streets to
impede the firemen. There were but
few very tall buildings in the burned
district. There were at first glance no

TERMONT CONGRESSMEN.
Various Bills introduced by Them.
Senator Dillingham; in New York.

Washington, ID. c., Feb o. Sena-
tor Dillingham; has introduced bill
providing that sessions of the United
States courts for the district Of Yer
mont may be held at Newport. The
new federal building at Newport was
planned with this end in view and the
bill merely authorizes that one session
of the United States court may be
held each year in that town. Mr.
Dillingham; has also introduced a bill
to repeal the existing Alaskan game
laws. By this law, game of almost
every species is protected and its en-
forcement has brought severe hardship
to the natives by tending to shut off
their chief source of food supply. The
proposed law provides certain re-
strictions for moose, deer and caribou
but all other animals are unpro-
tected.
Senator Proctor has introduced a
bill to amend the district code in re-
lation to marriages, so as to author
ize marriages in the District OF Co
lumbia according to the custom of the
Society of Friends or Quakers, which
does not require the services of a min
lister.
Senator Dillingham; is in New York
this week to attend the wedding of
his son, Paul Shipman Dillingham;.
of Montpelier, and Miss Florence Huff
of Brooklyn, which occurs at the
BRIDES home on Wednesday afternoon.

This being the case, and the best

it is clear that those interests will be

a copy of it, but it is understood that
he made known in general way the

Russia, while making concessions,
declined to yield on the four following
points:
First-Japan's right to ask for a
treaty covering the sovereignty of
Manchuria.
Second-She insisted upon mutual
recognition of the independence of

Third-That there should be no

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 10.-Yester-
day gave opportunity for careful
investigation as to the cause of the
original fire in the Hurst building
1t was first reported that the blaze
started from the explosion of gaso-
lene engine in the cellar but this was
last night given an emphatic denial.
Henry S. Hurst, of the firm of John
E. Hurst d Co., said that there was
no gasolene in the building. This
ated in signed statement by W. 7.
Hopper IL Sons, insurance agents and
brokers, who said that after careful
inspections by representatives of their
firm and of the fire Underwriters AS
ISOLATION they were satisfied that
there was no gasolene in the build
ing.
Mr.. Hurst said that he and Charles
George, trusted employee, were the
last persons to leave the building at
. 80 p. M, Saturday and that all the
electric lights were turned off by a
switch. 1t is not denied that the
fire originated in the Hurst building
but how it started is yet to be
learned.
1t is probable that with final figures
OH the damage it will remain at prac-
tically $l25, 900, 900. Many merchants,
seeing the course of the fire, saved
parts of their stock, so that the losses
in some sections will be lighter than
elsewhere.
