American consuIs to Be on Han


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8.-The
state department is pushing prepara-
tons for the early dispatch to their
posts in Manchuria of United States
Consuls Cheshire, Davidson and Nor
gan, who are to be posted respectively
at Mukden, Antung and Dalny. This is
regardless of the impending outbreak
of war, and 1t is said that there is no
reason to. apprehends that actual hos
tilities would be allowed to prevent a
consul of friendly nation from going
to his post. Mr.. Fowler, who has been
in this country on leave of absence, has
departed for Chefoo, which in the event
of hostilities is expected to be a point
of the greatest Importance for the col
lection of news and rendezvous of mer-
chant shipping, being the nearest great
neutral port to the prospective seat
of war.
The navy department will make no
effort to place United States naval
attaches on either the Russian or Jap
anese fleets. 1t is believed that con-
sent could not be had from either par
ty, and in refusing Russian and Japan
would be simply following the example
of the United States in the Spanish
war.

STORM STOPS TRAINS

The blizzard Of last week had a far

from the East We're also blockaded and
delayed.
Train No. on the Northern Pacific road
from Winnipeg, Cam, which was to ar
rive in this city at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, did not arrive until II o'clock
last night. The train on the Red River
division, which was due here at 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning, did not pull in until
the same time as No s.
The blizzard near Grafton, N D. was
the cause of the delay. The blockade is
now raised and trains are expected to run
on time today.
Trains on the Great Northern line. be-
tween CrookstOn and Minot. N. D., were
delayed from one to three hours Train
No. from the coast, which was due to

VIII France Keep Out?

PARIS, Feb. 9.-There is no question
but that interest here centers much
more in the attitude and obligations Of
France than in the actual happenings
in the far East. All the newspapers
this morning, without distinction Of
party, are striving to reassure the pub
lie on the possibility of France being
drawn into the conflict.
The Gaulois publishes an interview
with retired French army officer who
accompanied Gen. de Boisedeffre on the
mission to Russia which resulted in
the signing of the military convention
between France and that power. This
officer says that the document, which
was signed in September of 1892, did
not consider the possibility of war
with Great Britain, but was intended
solely to hold the triple alliance in
check. He declares, however, that an

Won't Embarrass Government.

PARIS, Feb. 8.-A strong movement
has begun to develop in the chamber Of
deputies to induce NJ. Delcasse to make
a declaration that France has not sur
rendered her liberty Of action, under
the existing arrangement with Rus
STA, concerning the Far East. Deputy
Denys Cochin Conservative, who has
taken the lead in the movement look
ing to making an Interpolation of this
character, had two interviews with NJ.
Delcasse today. The Nationalist group
has resolved not to embarrass the min
lister for foreign affairs in the pending
delicate negotiations.
That the government recognizes the
danger of a parliamentary discussion
of the subject was shown by the post
ponement of the Interpolation. This
M. Cochin consented to because he was
assured by Foreign Minister Delcasse
that France was at this moment in the
same situation as in March, 1902, at
the time of the declaration Of France
and Russia with respect to China. M.
Delcasse said that then France had re-
tanned her absolute independence.
The Temps, semi official, says:
1.-THE duty Of the hour is to limit the
area of the confiagration."
The paper expresses the belief that
French diplomacy will bend it's efforts
to localiZing the war strictly between
the immediate parties, so as to make
it impossible to involve other coun-
tries

squadron goes northward, it is fully
expected here that Rear Admiral Evans
will transfer his flag to the Albany
and assume command of the squadron,
remaining in the far East after his
regular tour of duty has expired to OBJ
serve the war.
Orders were issued today for Lieut..
Newton A McCaully, now on the Dol
phin, to relieve Lieut.. Commander
Charles S. Marsh as naval attache at
Toxic Lieut. Commander Marsh and
Lieut.. Irvine V. ellis, who has been
detached from the Kentucky, and is
now on his way to Toxic, are under
orders to follow the Japanese naval
operations as best they can. 1t is not
expected they will be taken aboard the
japanese ships permanently.
That Japan has fully determined on
war is evident from a cablegram re-
ceived at the navy department today
from Lieut.. Marsh saying that a jap
anese naval division had left for
Chemulpo, the port of the Korean cap
ital. The seizure of Seoul, the general
naval board believes, will be Japan's
first act of war.
Count Cassini the Russian ambas-
sador, called by appointment on Sec
rotary Hay and the two were in con-
ference for nearly an hour. The am
bassador was again assured that this
government could be depended on to
maintain the strictest and most COM
plete neutrality in the coming war.

Baltimore Holocaust Bound to

fThis Baltimore fire will undoubtedly
put some of the smaller fire insurance
companies out of business, and even
the strongest companies will feel it
keenly," said State Insurance Commits
sioner Dearth yesterday to T n
Globe.
There is no use talking about the
companies that are affected as distin-
guished from others, for in fire Of that
magnitude practically all of the COM
panies must be more or less involved.
Naturally some of them will catch it
more heavily than others, but that will
be as it happens and not due to good
or bad management, for there is no
system of spreading risk that would
avail anything in a case OF. that kind.
Among such substantially construct
ed buildings, any company, although
/ heavily involved in one block, would
not hesitate to take a heavy risk in the
next block or two blocks away, and as
some of the companies may lose i'm
mense sums in such a fire as this. If
the loss is as great as es timated-$25O.-

is no doubt but that some of the small
