Big BLAZE IN EARLY MORNING

one Of the largest buildings of the
virginia-carolina Chemical Company
constituting what is known as the Chemi-
cal Works, was burned about 3 o'clock
this morning
To all appearances the destruction of
the big structure and it's contents is prac-
tically complete. One or two freight cars
were partially burned, and 1t was with
great difficulty that the second building
nearby was saved.
The plant consumed Is what Is known
as No. Q. and was but short way from
that burned last year. 1t was near the
Chesapeake and Ohio wharf, and was
used for storage and shipping purposes
The structure was of wood and burned
flercely. making big blaze that attract
ed attention for miles.
President Morgan, Of the Chemical Com
pany,. was unable to say when seen at
O'Clock what insurance was carried or
tho plant or to estimate the damage
The only means of lighting the devour.
ing flames was to use the company's
private apparatus. The city department
was not called upon. but would have
been handicapped in the matter of getting
water,
Tho Chesapeake and Ohio had num-
her of cars on tracks near the works
hut set to work promptly to move them.

What the course Of the JaPa-

SUBJECT OF GENERAL REMARK
Possible Protests Against Laying OF
Mines Off Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-The Brit
ish and American press reports OF pos
sible protests against the laying or
mines in the waters off the Liaotung
peninsula because of the danger to in
ternational commerce evokes much In
terest here and it is a subject of gen
eral remark that there was no talk OF
protests while the Russian ships We're
being blown up, it only beginning
after the japanese ships met with dis
aster.
The government circles are inclined
to think the reports of possible pro
tests by the powers are confined to the
press. Neither the British nor the
American embassies has received in
structions on the subject. The indi-
cations are that if the question OF lay
ing mines beyond the three-mile limit
becomes the subject of formal pro-
test it will raise a new question OF in
ternational law growing out of the in
creased range of modern guns. The
three-mile limit was established in the
days when that distance represented
the maximum range, but If ships can
lie eight or ten miles away and yet
reach the coast with their projectiles
1t is argued that the defenders have
a perfect right to take such military
measures as they choose within the
range of the enemy's guns.

DEVELOP EASTERN SIBERIA.
All Ports Of the Russian Provircs
Opened to Trade.

st Petersburg, May 26.-The Assn-
ciated Press Is informed on high &C
ernmental authority that the openi. s
of all the ports of the Siberian III.
teral, although precipitated by tie
necessities of war, had been under con-
sderation for months and represents
a distinct policy inaugurated by Rus
sa looking TO the development of
Eastern Siberia. The effect of closing
the former free port of Vladivostok
had not proved success and led 10
the consideration of the advisability of
reopening IT, Action in the matter was
FASTENED by Viceroy Aiexieff, who tel
egraphed to the emperor advising the
immediate adoption of the new policy.
The Associated Press is further in
formed that Russia has no intention OF
resembling 1t upon the conclusion OF
the war, but that the ports viii re-
main open to foreign commerce for an
indefinite period and In the event OF
successful termination the provisions
of the decree will probably be extend
ed to the territory covered by the Rus
sian lease of the Liaotung peninsula.
Goods, entering without duty can be
shipped westward so far as Baikal,
where the European Russian tariff will
lie imposed.
While the opening Of Eastern ST.
IBERIA to foreign trade will be of great
advantage to the United States and
Great Britain the emperor's advisers
were moved to adopt the policy strictly
on account of its economic advantages
in the development OF Russia's Far
Eastern possessions.
