Following the rapid destruction OF

insatiate monster and rapidly rolling
with irresistible force both eastward
and westward, cutting down wholesale
and retail houses, manufactures,
shops, jewelry stores, furniture empo-
RUINS and restaurants. At Charles
street the remorseless tide swept on
down Baltimore street, and also turned
into Charles street, where it quickly en-
quilted the eleven-story Union Trust
building, starting eastward on Fayette
street. By o'clock occupants of the
Daily Herald building, at Fayette and
st. Paul streets, and of the Record
building, opposite, were compelled to
vacate by the onrushing flames, as
were the occupants of the Calvert and
Equitable structures, two of the most
massive office buildings in Baltimore.
Down Baltimore street a parallel
wave of roaring, cracking flames
swept, consuming everything in its
course, speedily reaching the Evening
News building, from which the en-
ployes had to hastily flee, though not
until valuable records had been re-
moved. Shortly thereafter the Conti-
mental Trust Company's fourteen-story
building took fire. A block below the
American newspaper building was en-
veloped in such clouds of sparks and
burning splinters that the employees
were ordered out.

SENATOR HANNA'S CONDITION
His Extreme Weakness Is More

The Senator Is Taking No Nourish-

Is Too Weak to Talk.

ma passed Sunday without any radical
change in his condition. His extreme
heretofore and his temperature was
little higher Those attending him,
however, insist there is nothing sig
nificant in these conditions, and that
there are no developments on which
to change their expressed belief that
the outlook is hopeful for the senator s
recovery. There was consultation OF
DR.. Rixey and two out-Of-town phy-
sicians during the day, but the only
important development that transpired
as. to the consultation was that 1T had
been decided to omit the evening call
of the attending physicians, so as 10
give the patient more rest.
The consultation was held about
o clock Sunday afternoon. Those who
participated beside DR.. Rixey, the sur
geon general of the navy, who is the
regular attending physician, were DR..
Osler, the expert diagnostician OF
Johns Hopkins university of Balti-
more. and DR.. Brewer of New York,
who has frequently attended Senator
Hanna in New York, and who is IA
miliar with his general condition. I'm
mediately after the consultation the
following bulletin was issued:
"Santor Hanna is doing well. His
morning temperature was little high
er, but the hearts action is good, and
there are no complications.
"(Signed)
"DRS. RIXEY AND OSLER."
The physicians explain that it is to
be expected that the fever will in
crease until the crisis is passed, but
they do not name any definite date
when that crucial period will be
reached.
The senator is taking no nourish-
ment except milk. He is too weak ex-
