BALTIMORE, Feb. 9.-The day of
reckoning has begun. At o'clock
last night the fire had been checked
and was confined to the burned dis
trict. Today the people are begin
ming to realize the full extent of the
damage done by the terrible flames
that held full sway for 81 hours.
scorching and destroying everything
that stood in their path.
The burned district is within the
territory bounded on the west by Lib
erty street, on the north by Licking
ton, on the east by Jones Falls and
on the south by the basin. Within the
district were the big structures on
Fayette, Gay, Lombard, Charles, Bal
timore, Elliott, Hollingsworth and
Cheapside streets Passing southeast
along the basin, the following large
docks were destroyed: McLure's.
Patterson. Smiths, Frederick's, Long
and Union. Small thoroughfares
which extend as far north as Lexing-
ton street and which were in the path
of the flames are Commerce, Freder-
ick and Mill streets.
The district thus swept by the fire
comprised as blocks and nearly $500
buildings.
OF the many big and handsome
structures that stood in this. the
wholesale and a large part of the
retail district of the city, now only
tottering walls and smouldering en-
bers remain.
All estimations of the loss today
vary from $3.50. 900 900 to twice that.
1t will be months before 1t can be
adjusted, as the task is so great. In
surance adjusters are dazed by the
great work ahead.
A dispatch from Liverpool this
morning says the London Globe is
fully prepared to pay the million dol
lars losses which it has sustained.
Special agents of all the impor-
tant companies went into a special
session at IL o'clock this morning as
a loss committee.
Workers who are idle will proba-
bly, be compelled to leave for other
cities.
The insurance men. after canvass
ing the situation apd comparing
notes, believe the losses to be paid
i won't exceed $4,000. 900. Fifty spe-
cial agents and an army of adjusters
are here. Many brought huge punches
of drafts in the hope of quick settle
ments.

WANTED EXCITEMENT

81 had pretty good time but l
guess I'm up against it now" was the
remark made by Billy Huey as two
soldiers took him out of the police
station this morning. Husy is a
deserter from the Vancouver barracks,
and was arrested here last night.
Il don't know what l wanted TO
desert for" he said. II was treated
well and had a good record, but |
guess | just wanted some excitement
and l don't think they will be very
hard with me when they come to deal
out my dose" Huey is bright, good
looking young fellow, and if he makes
as good an impression on the court
as he did on those he met at the police
station he will get the liyhtest sentence
that the laws of the department will
permit.
