One of the most prominent church
men present said that all matters per-
tanning to the consolidation of the two
churches had been amicably arranged

Il may say that the sessions have
been most harmonious and the sub
committees really had very little to do
after the general committees had I'm
iShed their labors." said the informant,
who refused to have his name made
public. "Of course we are all proud
of the results accomplished. 1t means
a greater, better, more prosperous union

LOSS is LESS,
SAY EXPERTS
Insurance Company Agents Ac-
curately Figure the Damage
Done by the Baltimore Fire
OVERFLOW OF LABORERS
Warming Is Sent Out That
There Is Only Enough Work
for the City Residents

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1s.-Insurance
experts were in an optimistic frame of
mind to-day over the prospect that the
aggregate insurance loss will be much
smaller than was at first anticipated.
They are now confident the loss caused
by the conhagration will not exceed
$40, 900, 900. and that it will not be under
sS2, 900, GOO.
The first definite estimate they we're
able to make on totals was through a
dispatch from Albany. printed to-day,
giving the losses of companies doing
business in New York, reported official
ly by them to the insurance commits
siOner of New York. This list included
sixty-eight of the largest American
and foreign companies and the total
of losses reported by them officially IS
a little over S16.5OO, 900. Taking these
official figures as a basis and adding
the approximated figures Of the COM
panies authorized to do business in
Maryland but not in New York. insur-
ance men say they cannot see how the
total insurance loss Will exceed $50
0O0, 900.
The authorities here report that un-
employed persons. particularly me-
chanics. are fiocking from other parts
of the country to this city by hundreds
and indications are that the volume
will steadily increase from day to day.
Those who have arrived say they cams
because they were informed that there
is a demand for workmen here, and
finding nothing to do and being without
money many of them have already ap-
piled for transportation back to their
homes.
The City Charities Department and
the Bureau of Industrial Statistics have
asked that a warning be sent out that
there Is only enough work to give en-
plOyment to Baltimore wOrkmen and
that the home workers will be awarded
the preference in every instance

La Bruyere Not Heard From.

The French bark La Bruyere is out
thirty-four days from Port Los angeles for
Portland, and those interested are growing
very anxious about the vessels safety. Vessels
bound from southern to northern ports have
been making splendid time and this adds to
the seriousness Of the French bark's non
appearance. The German ship Lispeth. which
arrived February IA at Port Townsend was
only twenty-five days going TO the northern
port from Santa Rosalia. which is consider
ably farther south than Port Los Angeles. The
bark La Bruyere: however, is not the only
northbound vessel making a long passage. The
schooner Bangor, bound from San Pedro for
Everett, is out twenty-eght days. and the
schooner Beulah left San Pedro thirty four
days ago for Umpqua and has not yet ar
rived
