AS the great confagration which de-
stroyed the wholesale districtof Balti-
more ecedes into the distance there is
a disposition to cut down the early
estimates of loss. This is but natural,
as every disaster looks greater than it
generally turns out to be. It was at
first thought that the loss would total
up more than 4 hundred million dol
lars, but the latest estimates place the
total at forty to fifty millions; serious
enough loss surely, but scarcely SO
overwhelming as was at first feared.

the reasons assigned for the declina-
ton to receive Mr.. Morgan are entirely
impers0nal In tact ~ Mr. Morgan,
having been for several years one Of
the American secretaries of embassy
sat st. Petersburg, - is really very pop
ular with the Russian officials, who
would be glad to receive him as a
consul if political considerations did
not forbid. ftis explained that the
reason for Russia's action is purely
military, the army officers desiring
that there shall be no foreign officials
on the Lao Fung peninsula during tha
progress Of hostilities.
Bnt the impression here is that this
action is one way OF showing resent
nent against America for its universal
sympathy with Japan.
This action is coupled with Russia's
declinations to take part in the st.
Louis Worlds fair, and will produce a
bad impression, if nothing else, all over
the United States.

roy Alexief !eNplained, that as Dalny
