DANGEROUS d? UNMISTAKABLY.

A passenger boarded an
Atlantic Coast Line train in
Charleston recently with a jug
of gasoline which he set down
beside his seat. The car had
not gone but a few miles before
an explosion occurred which
burned the man badly and set
fire to the coach. The passen-
gers got out, but the car burned
up. The fire started by that
jug of gasoline could not be put
out, so the car was side-tracked
and left to the flames.
That Baltimore fire was
spread and rendered more un-
comfortable by the explosion of
gasoline tanks and drums. In
fact it caused the Hurst build
ing in which the fire originated
to collapse in ten minutes after
the fire started. 1t is a danger
Gus thing when it comes in
contact with heat. 1t will ex-
hibit its energy at once. The
explosions of gasoline are what
run the ENTERpRIsE's presses.
1t is the eXplosiveness of gaso-
line that makes it valuable as
a propelling power for engines,
but it must be properly confined
or it is exceedingly dangerous.

In last weeks ENTERPRISE
we stated that the Baltimore
conflagration was the third
greatest in the history Of this
country, but we have since
learned that it is the second
largest and most destructive
fire of this country, the Chicago
fire in 1871 being the largest
and the Boston fire in 1872 be-
ing the third. From The State
comes this paragraph bearing
on the same subject:
The Raleigh Times says: "It
is now beyond doubt that the
destruction caused by the fire
in Baltimore is the greatest
ever experienced in any single
fire in the history Of the world "
While the loss was appalling,
1t was yet about $40, 900, 900
less than that incurred in the
Chicago fire, without consider
ing the sacrifice Of life. But
our Raleigh contemporary has
forgotten the little affair pre-
sided over by Nero. There
were no fire insurance compa-
MES in those days, so the esti-
mates Of losses are not accurate,
but the city was burning for
fully one week. In such fires
as destroyed the cities of Rome,
Vienna, Jerusalem and London,
the losses were total, there be

When cotton was selling for

RUSSIA-JApANESE WAR.

The Japs and the Russians
are at it. The first gun was
fired by the Japanese on the
Sth Of this month. Two Rus
sian vessels were destroyed.
On the 9th some of the Japa-
nese war vessels surprised Port
Arthur after the manner of
Dewey at Manila, and disabled
three of Russia's vessels. Since
that conflict they have had sew
eral others, and the result has in.
variably been in favor of Japan.
Twelve Of Russia's warships
have been either sunk orso badly
disabled that they are out of
business, and eight others have
been captured by the Japanese.
So that Russia's navy is now
~ vessels weaker and Japan's
Is seven stronger than when
the conflict started. OF course
both sides have lost some men,
though the loss of life and the
list of wounded is as yet com
paratively small on both sides.
Reports indicate that about
2 600 soldiers have been captur.
ed by each side. The Japanese
are landing troops on Corean
soil. One report says that over
400 Japanese soldiers were sa-
bered by the Russians. While
Russia is vastly larger and has
many millions more people than
Japan, still Japan has perhaps
the most modern navy in the
world, taken altogether; and
then Japan has a great advan-
tago in proximity to the scene
Of action. She is fighting near
home, while Russia has to
travel 5000 to 10000 miles to
get to the battlefield, and when
a vessel is crippled it is out of
business for the balance of this
conflict. Russian supplies and
soldiers brought to the front by
railroad have come some 1000
miles over newly constructed
and poorly equipped single
track railroad, with rails
weighing only 40 pounds.

PARIS Dec. 13.-Philippe Buneau-

relative to the building OF the canal
