Baltimore, Feb. 9.-Baltimore is
staggering under fire loss which no
one has the temerity to put in figures.
The important commercial district is
blackened ruins, laid bare by con-
flagration which ragged without mo-
mentary check from 10:45 a. m. Sun
day until late in the afternoon Mon
day. At 3 o'clock the city officials
again breathed. 1t was agreed the
flames were under control. They had
ragged twenty-eight hours, in spite of
almost superhuman efforts put forth
by the best fighting forces which more
than half dozen cities were able to
muster.
Throughout the terrible contest in
which firemen and fire waged for su-
premacy, humanity was handicapped
by gale which carried burning brands
over the heads of the workers and be-
yond the reach of the hundreds Of
streams of water poured into the rag
ing furnaces. But for the work of
volunteers in seeking out and ex-
tinguishing these embers it is certain
the'burned area would have been much
larger than it is.
About seventy-five squares, or 14O
acres. are in ashes: extending from
Lexington street on the north to Pratt
street on the south, from Liberty
street on the west to Jones Falls on
