MONDAY EVENING, FEB. s, 1904.

THE DESTRUCTIVE fire in Baltimore
has been the one theme of converse
ton in this city since noon yester-
day. 1t is generally regarded as the
most serious conAagratiOn has ever oc-
cnrred in the southern country. Fires pro-
badly ragged over large area when Co.
lumbja. S. c., was burned by federal
soldiers during the civil war, and when
Richmond was destroyed after the sur
render of the Confederate army in 1868.
The loss, however by yesterdays conia-
grafton doubtless exceeds that OF the dis
asters referred to. Every now and then
some great city has fire to form one Of
the most prominent pages of its history.
London, Constantinople, Chicago, Bos-
ton. have their chapters of horrors, and
now the Monumental City has a similar
disaster to file with its archives. Fires
in large cities are always to be dreaded,
as the structures are built cOmpactly on
narrow streets, many of them OF the d.
mansions of alleys, and it is difficult for
the best equipped fire department to get
at them, while upper stories OF modern
skyscrapers are out OF the reach OF the
6remen. The smaller cities, therefore
enjoy greater immunity from such ter
rible contingencies, the buildings being
comparatively small, the streets wider,
less encountered and with nothing to i'm
pede the work of the firemen. The ter
rible distress into which Baltimore has
been cast invokes the earnest sympathy
of her sister cities, and the hope is every
where expressed thatshe will speedy rise
superior to her difficulties and that in
few years the Monumental City will ex'
coed its former grandeur and commercial
Importance. The plants of ali the Eng
lish newspapers of the city have been des-
troyed by the wholesale confagration.
They now have no Offices of their own
but, phenix-like, they have emerged
from their ashes, and the proprietors are
issuing their regular editions in other
places and in some instances in other
cities. May they soon resume their nor
NAL condition and prosperity.

A SCHEME for the deportation of the
negro mas originated in the brain of Mr..
Leigh Hunt, wealthy American, for
merly of Iowa, but more recently OF Cal
ifornia, who has large commercial in
terests in Asia. The scheme is 10 take
the well-to.do negro farmers of the South
to the Soudan and put them to raising
cotton. The author of the plan says the
scheme is not dependent on the negro
for success, so far as cotton-ralslng IN
the Soudan is concerned, when the Brit
ish shall have completed their system OF
railroads and irrigation, and that he
does not propose to do anything for the
negro through any philanthropic motives.
He sees chance to make money out oil
the venture, and realizes that the black
mau can be used to help him and at the
same time will be helping himself. But
Mr.. Hunt is reckoning without his host.
Were he to travel in the South he would
find that hundreds of "welltO-do negro
farmers" are already raising their Own
cotton for which they are receiving good
prices. Why then should they go to the
Soudan? Nowif Mr.. Hunt will devise
some plan of getting the shiftless and
trifing negroes to go to the Soudan, or
anywhere else, he would confer last
ing favor upon the South.

A REPORT comes from Richmond
stating that a move has been instituted
by the republican members of the legis-
lature, who are adherents of Congressman
Slemp, to wrest theparty from the hands
of Mr.. Park Agnew and the other federal
oficeholders. The supreme effort it is
said will come at the Norfolk convention.
But this report does not agree with those
coming from the various counties which
have recently held conventions and at
which Mr.. Agnew and the Organization"
were endorsed. In ali probability the
Supreme effort" will have exhausted
itself before the date of the Norfolk con-
Yention arrives.
