stood the fire test. There were some
scorched papers and books found. but
they were not damaged enough to make
them worthless.
Small Fires still Burn.
There are still scores of small fires
burning and many great heaps of
smoldering ruins that are sending up
clouds of smoke. No effort has been
made to eXtinguish these, as they can
do no further damage. The only places
where the fire department are at work
are on the boundary lines of the ruins,
where they are drenching with water
every pile of debris that emits flames.
All of the out-of-tow fire companies
that came to Baltimore and rendered
such valuable services in stopping the
progress of the fire have returned to
their homes. The last to go were the
Philadelphians and the New Yorks.
Chief Engineer Horton of the local de-
partment spoke highly of the work of
the visitors.
Military regulations tonight were of
the strictest sort, all the regiments and
the battalion of Naval Reserves being
kept on duty throughout the night
Adjt. Gen. Riggs declared tonight that
the rigid rules against the admission
to the burned district of all persons
not engaged in the fire fighting and
police work would probably be enforced
during tomorrow, and that if any
business men were admitted tomorrow
1t would be only under the escort of
guards.
Guard Is Very Strict.
Tonight" he said, 1--WE have the
three regiments on duty on three
sides of the fire area, with the naval
reserve patrolling the water front in
government vessels and launches.
Troop A of the cavalry made a tour
of the burned district at shutdown and
expelled everybody but the police and
fremen' from inside the lines and to-

GUNB0AT STOPPED
JIMlNEZ'S AMMUNITION.
It Could Not BE Landed from the
Clyde Liner New York.


Clyde Liner New York.
Monte Cristi, Republic of Santo Do
mingo, Saturday, Feb. 6.-The Clyde
Line steamer New York arrived here
this morning followed by the Domini-
can gunboat Presidente. Lighters
were sent alongside the New York to
bring ashore some ammunition which
formed part of her cargo.
When the lighters had nearly reach
ed the steamer. the gunboat fired on
them and the revolutionists on shore
replied with cannon and Mausers. The
New York, being in danger, thereupon
left Monte Cristi for Porto Plata The
firing continued for half an hour, after
which the gunboat sailed for Porto
Plata.
The failure to land the ammunition
is a serious blow to Gen. Jiminez, for
whom it was intended, and may cause
him to lose the ground he had already
gained

In 1897 the King changed his title to
that of Emperor, because he considered
himself on the same plane as the Car,
Emperor of Japan and Emperor OF
China. There is no system of govern
ment except the will of the ruler.
The army is composed of 1900 men,
but they are merely a mob, and have to
pillage to get any pay. Naturally ia
pan expects to gain many recruits in
COrea.
Corea has been the theater of action
since before history began. 1t has al
ways been the object of unwelcome in
tentions on the part of others. 1t has
taken no part in the great dramas, and
again is simply to furnish the stage
and the settings. To-day Corea Is
about where it was 500 years ago. The
people copied the customs of the Ming
dynasty of China and from inertia have
retained them.

SENATOR PORTER'S PLAN.
Wants State to Go Into the Oil Re-
filming Business.

S. NJ Porter, senator-elect from
Montgomery county, has a plan to
have the state go into the oil refining
business by building an oil refinery
at some point in the oil regions. The
argument is made that the state can
do this just as well as it can run a
binding Irvine plant
Mr.. Porter says that an oil refinery
on a plan similar to that of the state
Irvine plant. except that free labor
would be employed in it instead of
prison labor, is entirely feasible His
idea is that the state has the authority
TO loan its credit for the construction
of refinery, for the maintenance and
operation of the same and for the pur-
chase of crude oil and the marketing
of the refined product. 1t is Mr.. Por-
ter's impression that a fair sized plant
could be erected in the heart of the
oil field and pipe line built sufficient
TO supply it in its experimental stage
for $500, 900 If this experiment proved
profitable, the plant could be enlarged
out of its own earnings and the pipe
line extended.
The proposition is not one of pos
sible loss or expense to the taxpayers
of the state, but one to foster a great
industry. which would undoubtedly
prove of vast benefit to the oil pro-
ducing and refined consuming COM
munities of the state said Mr.. Porter.
with a refinery controlled by the
state, the people would know exactly
what their oil would cost them
the year around and the pro-
Queer would know what he was
going to get for his crude product.
A small margin of profit would very
soon REIN burse the state and create
fund for the enlargement of the plant.
Ny idea would be to place the institu-
ton in charge of a commission under
practically the conditions controlling
the Irvine factory, and as the oil was
sold the state would be reimbursed
and the subsidy would be what is gem
orally known as a revolving fund on
which there would be no loss. 1 ex-
pect to have several further confer
ences on the matter and unless some
obstacle arises which is not apparent
at this time such a bill will be pre-
scented at the next legislature. I wish
to say in this connection, however,
there will be no idea in the proposition
of opposition to the Standard Oil COM
pany; that corporation is doing yeo-
man service in the interests of the oil
men of this state now; the measure
would be wholly in the interests of the
taxpayers of the state and the oil pro-
ducerS.''

BINGHAMTON MAN IN LUCK.

Jones of Binghamton'' was in town
last night, not he who pays the freight -

BELOIT ISN'T SATISFIED.
Thinks Express Facilities Are Not
Up to Date.

The people of Beloit have asked the
state board of railroad commissioners
to compel the Pacific Express company
to give them better local express facil-
tiles by establishing an uptown express
office. The town also wants an up
town telegraph office. A hearing was
held before the railroad commissioners
Tuesday afternoon on the matter.
The principal showing made was that
the railroad depots, where the express
company now does business, is more
than half a mile from the postoffice
which is in the center of the business
district. The merchants generally have
to look after sending and receiving their
own express. There are two railroads
running into Beloit, the Missouri Pa
cific and the Union Pacific, but the Pa
cific Express company does business on
both, so there is no competition in ex-
press facilities.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has also refused to keep an up
town telegraph office open, and this is
the cause of considerable complaint on
the part of the merchants. The rail-
road commissioners will render a deciS-
ion in the matter later.

JAPAN'S BUDGET.
Completed Measure Makes No Reduc-
ton in War Estimate.

Toxic, Dec. 16.-The budget committee
of the house of representative COM
pleted its laborS today and the measure
will finally be submitted to the house
tomorrow. The war budget has not
been changed but the ordinary budget
estimates are reduced 81, 900, 900 by low
ering the land tax. The taxes on beer
and sugar imports and transit dues are
increased 81, 900 900. The government
has promised additional retrenchment
in the administration to the amount of
100000, leaving a deficit under the es-
Inmates of about s5.0O0,000. The govern
ment is authorized to meet this by
transfers of special funds and other
methods. All the parties worked joint
ly and harmoniously. The only friction
was over the proposition to increase the
land tax and decreasing the admins
trative expenses.
