small, If. indeed, any at all exists. His fail

New York and the Fire Danger.

New York is assuring itself that no

devastated Baltimore. could possibly oc-

er capacity of the steamers and the pres

mendous spread of the Baltimore fire and
the completeness of the destruction of the
great buildings. supposedly fireproof in the
midst Of the cauldron of flames could have
no other effect than to cause people to
tremble at the bare thought of such con-

Japan's Continued Success.

Japan not only struck the first successful
blow in the war with Russia in the night
attack by torpedoes at Port Arthur, but fol-
lowed it up with another by capturing or
destroying cruiser and gunbOat at Che
mulpo. The dispatches regarding this sec
ond exploit are slightly conflicting as to
precise details, but they are sufficiently
verified to warrant the belief that Japan
has opened the war by two victories on the
sea, which have seriously weakened the
Russian navy without in the least degree
depicting her own. Furthermore a dis
patch, which as yet lacks confirmation,
comes today that the Japanese have cap
tured three Russian transports which were
carrying 1900 Russian troops to Korea.
The dispatches indicate high state of
French indignation over the Japanese
stroke of war in advance of a formal dec
laration. This is a prejudiced view of the
case. There has been no time during the
past three months when it was not clearly
apparent to the watching world that Rus
STA was negotiating with war in view. 1t
was plain that the Russian purpose was to
postpone the inevitable conflict until the
spring, when she would be free of the dis
advantage Of the ice in the harbors. Japan
shrewdly measured the Russian purpose
and precipitated the issue by insisting upon
a categorical reply to definitive questions
earlier, it is evident. than Russia wished.
The cars supreme manifest" just pro-
claimed is a declaration of defensive war
fare. 1t blames Japan for precipitating
hostilities, and for an unannounced attack
upon the unsuspecting Russian fleet at Port
Arthur. In the language of the day, it is
to laugh. The solemnity of the imperial
language will not hide the joke. Russia
has been on war footing in Manchuria for
many months, has been watching Japan's
every move jealousy and suspicously and
has been prepared to strike heavily at the
first opportunity. If in the face of the de-
parture of the japanese minister from ST.
Petersburg and the absolute certainty that
war was at hand the Russian fleet could
not prevent surprise at night confession
is involved of weakness and incapacity.
The French liken the night attack at Port
Arthur to the sinking of the Maine. That
is an awkward as well as a weak parallel
Spain will not relish it, though. of course,
SPANS feelings do not count. But anyhow,
1t is unfair to the japanese, assuming it to
be established that Spain herself did actu-
ally contrive the destruction of the Maine.
The situations were not alike. In the Cuban
case neither minister had left his post The
negotiations had not been discontinued
There was nothing in the world upon which
to base the claim that Spain and the United

Exploiting Ex-Outlaws.

A formal application has been filed with
the governor of Minnesota for full pardon
for Cole Younger now out on parole. The
reason cited for this action is worthy of at
tention. Younger has for some time been
on tour through the country with an exhibit
ton of the wild west variety but under
the terms of his parole he not exhibit
himself in person, so he only lends his name
to the show, together with that of another
noted ex-outlaw. Younger desires to main
tain show at the st. Louis exposition, and
to this end he wishes to be wholly freed
from the restrictions of the law. And he
therefore prays the relief of pardon.
This is perhaps as good reason as could
possibly be advanced for refusing the par
don. Younger and James, with whom he is
associated in the ostensible management of
this particular exhibition of rough riding,

untoward circumstance a fire OF nrSt mag

that congested district the results would be

would preclude any effective fire fighting

Migration. The dynamiting of buildings
would be attended by serious risk and diff
fculty.

that no building is effectively fireproof If

One result Of the Baltimore fire may be
a decision by the city not again to permit
the construction of sky-scrapers. This
would be an eminently wise move. Wash
iHgton has now the benefit of law which
limits the buildings to certain heights pro-
portioned to the width of the streets on
which they abut. Thus a relationship Is
established which prevents the develop
ment of the deep street-chasms and keeps
at minimum the danger Of tremendous
conf1agration There are many lessons
which it is evident Baltimore has now a
chance to learn, and If this is included in
the list the fire will not have been in vain.
