BALTIMORE IS BRAVE.
Her Stricken Citi.ens Courageously
Take Up the work of Rebuilding
the Burned District.

Baltimore, Feb. 10.-Amid ruins still
hot and smoking, Baltimore has begun
its resurrection. With the dawn of a
clear winter day whose brightness was
In itself an inspiration, the apathy OF
Monday gave way to energy. and from
the governor of the state to the least
private citizen the people of this dis
tressed city aroused themselves to meet
the appalling conditions that confront
them.
Baltimore, Feb. 1.-THE situation In
stricken Baltimore began to visibly clear
Wednesday after a conference at the
Belvidere hotel between Mayor McLane,
special joint committee Of the legis-
lature and formidable delegation OF
representative business men. This con-
ference was arranged with view OF
meeting in a practical way the awful ex-
igency which this community now races.
At this meeting, besides the mayor.
there were present influential members
of the state law-making body, the board
OF public works, a dozen bank presi-
dents, former Gov Smith, United States
Senator-elect Rayner and several OF the
leading citizens.
The supreme question to be decided
was that OF calling upon the national
government for soldiers to take the
places of the two state militia regiments
now doing police duty in the burned dis
trict. The constitution Of Maryland re-
quires that no such request can be made
of the president except by authority OF
the state legislature.
A composite estimate of the total loss
of the fire by rs expert representatives
of leading insurance companies. out
side of Baltimore, places the figures
at $75,000,000. Some OF them think
that the total loss will be reduced to
$40 1000 O00 as much salvage is being
thought to have been destroyed. The
loss to the insurance companies is es-
timated by the same experts at IS per
cent of the total.
Washington, Feb. 13.-At the cabinet
meeting, after long consideration OF
the resolution adopted by the Mary
land legislature. calling for troops for
duty in Baltimore. it was decided not
to comply at this time with the re-

anomalous situation, and the cabinet
determined not to send troops at this
time.
