ter from him after he left saying he
would leave for Kentucky July 4.
Nothing was thought of his absence
except that he had gone to Frankfort
and was visiting there, until three or
four days ago, when the Springfield
friend wrote him letter and sent it
here. The letter remained unopened q
day or So, but, thinking it might be Of
importance. member Of the family

cording TO tile tone OF the letter, was
under the impression lie had been to
Kentucky and returned, and in it was
an expire sion TO the effect that the
writer hapci be had had an enjoyable
visit in Kentucky.
The fact shat Mr.. Adams had not re.
turned. in connection with his letter, led
his people here tc think seriously over
his absence and they concluded to make
some inquiry. They telegraphed July

THE STRICKEN CITY.

The great calamity that has befall-
en- the fire stricken city of Baltimore
will in itself alone make memorable
the year 1904 The disaster falls
hea Willy upon many persons and many
interests, and the temporary distress
that must inevitably ensue will be
cute. Optimistic people are dispos-
ed to regard Sundays confagration
in the light of blessing that will in
the end rebound to the citys good
This may be cheerful view to take
of tl.t situation, but the widening Of
streets and other contemplated in
proyements in the burned area will
be poor compensation for the great
losses that now af1lict so many suffer
inc persons. The Christian can fine
solace in the thought that all things
happen for the b, ST and look upon thi:
fe arful visitation as an evidence of the
mysterious providence of God. May
a spirit of liberality animate all who
are in a position to extend help to thu
stricken city.

GREAT FlkEIN BALTIMORE

Baltimore was visited on Sunday and
Monday by one of the largest fires in the
annals of history. 1t is nearly impossible
to estimate the loss. 1t is safe to say that
the loss will aggregate nearly 5000, 900 ,OOO
and throwing out of employment at least
SO, 900 men. women and children.
The fire broke out shortly before II
O'Clock Sunday morning in the wholesale
dry goods store of John E. Hurst & Co..
on Hopkins Place, in the heart Of the
business district, aud spread with fearful
rapidity and was not checked, despite the
efforts of the whole fire department OF
Baltimore together with the assistance OF
a number of fire engines and their crews
from New York, Philadelphia, Whining
ton, Washington and other places, until
it reached Jones Fall on Monday after
noon.
The burned district is within the terri
tory bounded on the west by Liberty
street, on the north by Lexington street,
on the east by Jones Falls, and on the
south by the basin. Within this district
were the big structures on Fayette, Gay,
Lombard. Charles, Balderson, Elliott,
Holingsworth and Cheapside streets
The district thus swept by the fire com.
prised - blocks and nearly $500 build
ings.
The burned area is under control Of the
State militia.

WAR BEGUN BETWEEN RUS.
STA AND JAPAN.

The japanese both at Port Arthur and
Chemulpo, Korea, have struck the Rus
sian Navy paralyzing blows. and naval
critics agree that the Japs have already
proved themselves the masters of Russia
in sea fighting
There were two commandments of Port
Arthur Tuesday-in the morning and in
the afternoon. The japanese fire WAS
very effective, their gunners being ex-
perts. The Russians, ON the other hand,
showed poor craftsmanship and unskil-
full maneuverings of their ships. Even
the shore batteries were not we'll handled.
Dispatches from St. Petersburg state
that the Russian Navy officials are dis
tressed over the sad blow inflicted by ia
pan. The real news of the extent Of the
Russian losses is kept from the people.
and some of the Russian newspapers are
publishing stories of Japanese ships being
sunk and the repulse of the enemy at
| Port Arthur.
A dispatch from Vladiyostok says that
kilograms received there report the COM
plete route o f the Japanese by the Rus
slams on the Yalu River. These advices
also claim that Chemulpo, Korea, has
been occupied by Russian soldiers and
marines.
Official dispatches from Toxic received
by Baron Hayashi say the Japanese ad-
miral, on arriving at Chemulpo. Korea.
sent in word to the two Russian cruisers,
the Variag and the Korietz. giving them
time limit in which to leave. Shortly
afterwards the Russians came out and
attacked a Japanese torpedo boat, which
reptile with torpedo ineffectively. A
general exchange of shots then followed
After a hot fire the Russians returned
to Chemulpo and sank at the entrance OF
the harbor. 1t is not yet known whether
their sinking was due to the Japanese
fire or to the Russians own action, but
it is believed to be due to the former.
The crews of both the Russian vessels
sought refuge on French warship at
| Chemulpo. There were no casualties
among the japanese and their vessels
sustained no damage.
Further advlces from Toxic state that
the japanese have captured of the 10
rean coast three Russian transports hav-
ing on board 2 900 troops.
One English naval critic, in discussing
the quick, decisive work of the japanese
Navy, remarked that there were apparer
evidences of English and American
training of the gunners of the Mikado's
fleet.
In the first "a hours Of the war Russia
has had II warships put out of action in
one way or another, more than 100 men
killed or wounded, and two transports
captured, while the Japs have not lost a
ship.

crisis bravely cannot be doubted. No
American city has shown more cour-

of it's opportunities and resources, and
it is entitled to all the substantial aid

that other communities can extend tc

BALTIMORE'S CALAMITY.

The conhagratior in Baltimore is
one of those appalling catastrophes
that appear to be beyond all reason,
even if they are not beyond human ex
perience, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. We are constantly saying
that tie days OF great COZ i1.grations
are past; that with improved methods
of building, increased precautions, and
better appliances for the extingnish-
ment of fire, it is no longer possible
for flames 10 spread over vast areas,
as they did in medieval towns, Or in
the primitive Chicago Of generation
ago; and just as we have persuaded
ourselves of our security there comes
an occurance like this TO prove the
falIaoy Of cur reasoning and the fulfil
ity of all cur devices.
The portion OF Baltimore that has
been destroy. Cd represented lair av-
erage of an American city. Most Of
the buildings were OF the old fashioned
commercial type, bnt among them
were many Of the most approved mod
ern construction, with a number OF
public buildings of more than usual
solidity. Beyond thrs", Of course,
were more inflammable structures, the
fire ultimately extending to ware
houses, sheds, and lumber yards; but
the great destruction was wrought in
the very heart of the city, and iaclud-
ed the most valuable business proper
ties, banks, Office buildings, newspaper
plants, and other features Of pros
porous and substantial city. Yet a
fire which started with explosive force
in wholesale dry goods house spread
with such ferocity that brick and stone
and iron fell before it as readily as
timber, and the whole force of we'll
organized fire department was power
less to stay its course.
While less extensive than the great
fire in Chicago, which swept over ma
ny acres of mere prairie covered with
comparativly cheap houses, the de-
struction of property at Baltimore is
probably greater than in any later
fire, not excepting even that which
Boston still remembers. 1t is the
first in which a large number Of mod
ern buildings supposedly fireproof,
have gone down before the advancing
flames. Though these buildings be
made as nearly incombustible as pos
sible, there is no method of construc-
ton yet devised-unless it be the old
fashioned wall of solid brick-that can
withstand the intense heat of fire
raging all about it. AS the strength
of chain is that of its weakest link
so the measure Of danger from fire in a
city is in the most combustib!e and not
in the least combustibie buildings
which stand side hy side. 1t is not
certain, indeed, that the modern sky
scrapers, when surrounded by lower
buildings of an inflammable character,
are not an added danger
tits idle at present to attempt to
estimate the financial loss that has
fallen upon Baltimore. Some part OF
the imme diate loss, no doubt, is dis
tributed over the country through the
insurance conf ani's, but the absolute
extinction of tens of millions of pro
ductiye property must, at the BEST
be felt throughout our financial sys-
TEN. Insurance only distributes the
loss; it does not and cannot annul it..
All these millions in houses and goods
are gone, and the country is that much

Japan Cuts Cable.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The French foreign
cffice has been advised that the Japan
ese have cut the cable connecting ia
pan and Corea. The object CT this ac.
ton is believed to be to prevent news
OF the operations of the japanese
reaching the Russians, which was pos
sible, no matter how closely censored
the dispatches might be. following
the breaking eff of relations between
Russia and Japan the cutting of tne
cable is regarded here as significant of
the purpose of the Japanese to begin
hostilities. 1t is learned that among
the troops sent by Russia to the vicin
ity of the Yalu river are $4,000 Cos
sacks whose province it is to destroy
the communication of any japanese e
army landing along the coast Or trying
to strike the Port Arthur railroad. The
French military experts consider this
a good tactical move fer the reason that
the Japanese have only small cavalry
force, insufficient tc' cope with that OF
the Russians.
