EXCEEDS CHICAGO FIRE.
Baltimore Confagration Costs More in
Millions Than Worlds Record.

1t Is believed by insurance men generally
that the Baltimore fire disaster will exceed
by many millions the great Chicago disaster
of 1871. which at that time was placed on
record as the greatest confiagration in the
history of the world. While the Baltimore
fire will probably not cover the same area
in acreage. it will more than meet the con-
ditions in the condensity of buildings, but
more particularly in the condensity OF the
vast business interests.
The total loss from the Chicago fire was
estimated at 1927 .O0o, 900. and il is believed
that the property loss in Baltimore, when
uninsured stocks are taken into consdera-
ton will exceed this amount and when
the vast sums that will be lost by the
paralysis of business are taken into con-
sideratien many millions of dollars must be
added to the sum total to get an idea what
the great holocaust will cost the Mary
land metropolis

NEWS ATTRACTS MANY.
Washington Residents Visit the Fire
Swept City Today.

Thousands of Washington;ans went to
Baltimore this morning to get glimpse of
the flre-swept district. Some had business
interests at stake. others wanted to see
about relatives and still others went over
just to see what big fire looks like. A
majority of those who made the journey
went over the Baltimore and Ohio road in
order to be landed near the scene of the
disastrous CONGREGATION. There was rush
for the Baltimore and Ohio trains during
the morning hours and one engine could
not move the train scheduled to l0ave here
at IL o'clock Such an immense crowd filed
the cars that It became necessary to take
the train out In two sections. The noon
train was also crowded and number of
those who expected to go to Baltimore at
that time had to wait an hour later.
The trains on the Baltimore and Potomac
road carried more Baltimore passengers
this morning than usual. On both roads the
fast express trains were sidetracked for the
trains conveying assistance from other
cities to Baltimore

GOVERNMENT MONEY SAFE.
Officials Alarmed About Subtreasury
in Baltimore.

Treasury officials were alarmed for some
time this morning for the safety of the
United States subtreasury in Baltimore,
but Mr.. Bantz, the assistant treasurer
here, whose home is in Baltimore arrived
about IL o'clock with the information that
the subtreasury had not been touched Be-
fore the erection of a new federal building
was begun the subtreasury was removed to
building adjoining the post office. where
it is now located. The building is of such
character and the vaults are of such
temporary nature that great deal of gov
eminent money would probably have been
burned had the fire destroyed the building
The government has about $11 800 600 de-
posted in the subtreasury in Baltimore

Senator Clay Accepts His As
suranee Regarding Panama.
WILL SUPPORT TREATY
NO PROOF THAT THIS GOVERN
MENT. HAS BEEN DISHONEST.
Willing to Trust the Chief Executive
Urgent Deficiency Bill Sent to APP
Preparations Committee.

After the transaction Of morning business
In the Senate today Senator Hopkins was
recognized on one Of the hold-over Panama
resolutions to make general speech on
the Panama question. Senator Hopkins
delivered somewhat brief but carefully
prepared argument in support Of the ad-
mlnlstration's policy and theoretically urg-
Ing ratification of the Panama treaty. His
remarks were listened to by large au-
dience of senators on both sides of the
chamber and, at the conclusion of his
speech. he was warmly congratulated.
Senator Clay of Georgia, one of the
democrats who will vote for ratification of
the treaty. followed Senator Hopkins.
He had been from the beginning of his
public career. he said. extremely anxious
for an isthmian canal, but he did not want
1t unless 1t could be- secured with clean
hands. Left where the diplomatic cor
respondence places the matter he would.

because of the evidence of completely but

explanation Of the President that there had
been abundant and legitimate opportunity
ton.
He also expressed the view: when our
Warships landed troops at Colon they had
q right to prevent the armed forces of Co.
course of commerce in the pathway across
the isthmus."

After discussing further the part played
by this government in connection with the
revolution Mr.. Clay said:
II cannot vote to convict my own gov
eminent of an act of dishonesty without
positive and unimpeachable testimony
Such charge against the integrity of our
government must be condemned In the alb
sence of unquestionable proof. l dep,ore
the fact that the circumstances surround
ing this transaction are of such nature
as even to cast suspicion upon our con-
duct.
Il am unwilling to say that the President
in his message has not told US the truth
SO far as the executive branch of the gov
eminent is concerned. He may be inn
puisive. but l do not believe that he Is
dishonest. l do not believe the American
people have ever elevated a dishonest man
to the high Office he now occupies To make
such a9acharge would reflect on the in

American people. I vote for the treaty
