FOUR SQUARE MILES.
Hole Made in the Business District of
the City.

Baltimore, Feb. S.-The burned dis
trict is fully two miles square and it is
two miles square of utter ruin and desc
Iafion. Scores of what were palatial,
modern and socalled fireproof buildings
yesterday are today so many piles OF
debris. The devastated portion of the
city is closely patrolled by the police of
this city. policemen from Philadelphia
and Washington, by state militiamen
and several companies Of regulars from
Fort McHenry, and no one is allowed
to enter the prohibited lines except by
speefal permission. Outside the line
thousands of eager and anxious people
are congregated looking curiously on or
seeking more definite information about
the fire.
The common remark of citizens is that
Baltimore has received blow from
which it cannot recover for years.
Mayor McLane is among those who are
optimistic and today while expressing
his sorrow over the calamity expressed
the hopeful conviction that this city
will quickly rise like a phoenix from
its ashes.
1t is anticipated that there may be
suffering and restitution following on
the heels of the destructive visitation
and Mayor McLane and other city off,
Gals are already discussing relief meas
10000 persons will be thrown out of en-
ployment and many of those and their
families will be without resources.
Governor Warfield has called an extra
session of the legislature for this even
ing to empower him to declare the city
under martial law and suspend all bust
ness for ten days.
Today has been declared a legal holi-
day in order to give the clearing house

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
Why Japan Is Fighting the Russian
Empire.

Now that affairs in the far east are
nearing a crisis and hostilities between
Russia and Japan may break out at
any moment, there are evidently some
people in the condition of little Peter
kin" who wanted to know all about
the war and what they Killed each 9TH
er for What is the trouble between
Russia and Japan has been the ques-
ton asked of late by readers puzzled
by the conflicting dispatches concern
ing the diplomatic status and threat
ened belligerency of those two powers,
and who have forgotten the earlier
stages of the controversy.
The real trouble is the Russian deter
mination to extend it's sphere OF in
fluence'' in the far east, and Japanese
fear that the influence" will be trans
formed into control and occupation,
and from that to annexation, to the
disadvantage and eventually to the
danger of Japan. For that fear it has
good reason.
Less than half a century ago Russia
pushed its way southwark in eastern
Siberia until it compelled China to cede
to it all the territory on the left bank
of the Amur river. Two years later it
crossed the lower Amur and gained
from China the coast half way down

urday market was comparatively active.
The dealings were probably so per cent
larger than the recent average. While
about two-fifths of the total dealings of
stocks were in Pennsylvania railroad, a
certain part of this activity of this par
ticular stock was due to its being good
index for the general market. Room
traders who want to take a position look
naturally to this stock under present con-
ditions because there's possibility of a
ruinous fuctuation. In it's present activ-
ity it is the ideal stock for the trader who
is looking to make his etghths and quar-
tiers during the day If he is short he is
sure that there can be nothing like
corner No squeeze against the short
would result in movement of points a
day or per cent in a week. The stock
market generally has been oversold for
some days. 1t has been hammered be-
cause the demands for stocks was unim-
portant- So long Is traders could get their
stocks back they would naturally con-
tfrue to sell freely on the short side. The
bank statement figures have no great i'm
pOrtance.
