declared TO him that Japan is tired CT
Russia's delay, evasions and insinceT-

that there win be no formal declarc-

City Under Military Control.
The city was under the strictest OF
military control. All around the
burned area was stretched Gordon
of soldiers, who held up all come-s at
the point of the bayonet. Police

near the limits of the fire area paced
armed sentinels. In the carly hours
the army of fire fighters operate
against Overwhelming odds and when
dawn broke the flames were ragine
fieTcely along the wharves and focused
about the great power house of the
United Railways company. Then the
flames ate their way with undimln-
ished force southwestward, following
the lines of Jones' Falls, and were
finally choked near the wa RS edge at
West Falls avenue. There the flames
continued through the night, but only
in spots and with diminishing fierce

It Led It's Owner This Morn
ing to the Hiding Place
Of a Stolen Silver
Watch.
VALUE OF A KEEN SCENT
It win Probably Secure the
Promotion of An Acting
Patrolman to the
Detective Force.

'sThere is a tide in the affairs of men
which taken at the flood leads on to
fortune said the late lamented William
Shakespeare. Acting PatroIman Kella
her of the Gregory street station caught
the tide in his affairs about daylight this
morning. and if he is not slated for pro-
motion TO the detective force it will prob
ably be on account of the superior s.pull''
of rival aspirants. A good detective
must, have the scent of a thoroughbred
bloodhound. and, according to KeIlaher's
own story, there's nothing the matter
with his olfactory nerves. This fact led
him to make most remarkable discoy-
cry of stolen watch. He was patroll-
ing Hudson street this morning when a
somewhat seedy individual, who had
been working the growler overtime, ac-
rosted him with
''Say. Mr. Policeman, I've been rob-
bed. Somebody went through me. My
watch is gone"
Kellaher sized up the man and was
not satisfied with the complaint. The
man shuffled away, and suddenly. Kella-
her bethought himself that the man
might make complaint against him
for not exerting himself more in in
yeshgating his complaint
whats your namegs he asked of the
man. Come here and give me your
name and address,"
..Aw, let it go. The watch was
cheap silver turnip. anyhow. I'm going.
home and the man ambled away.
Kellaher kept thinking about the man
who made the complaint. Suddenly an
Italian ragpicker hove into view, with
bundle suspended from stick over
his shoulder
Drop that bundle; want to examine
It," said KelIaher.
The man demonstrated in Italian, but
Kellaher made him open the bundle. A
cheap silver watch rolled out.
81 thought so,s said KelIaher. 81
felt sure detected the odor of some
thing in that bag similar to the odor of
the man who made the complaint. You'll
go to the station with me ana explain
how you came into possession of the
watch.
The Italian was booked as "John
o'Bin," No. s25 Railroad avenue. and
he was charged with being disorderly
person.
The case was laid ever until tomor-
row.

A thrilling and perilous headforemost
dive is made from the roof of the canvas

somersault in mid-air causes everyone to
wonder at each performance why the
daring performer is not instantly killed.
Ancilotti, the modern Ariel, Velo, the
volitant, Chico and Solol, the wonderful
unicyclists, all tempt death in defying
the law Of gravitation, while the double
simultaneous slide FOR life by two Japan
ese artists thrills everyone. And comic
episodes are enacted in the three rings
and upon the stages with great rapidity,
which in turn are succeeded by the train
ed animals. Three herds of elephants
and herd of CRATES are in the menag-
cries, with cages of wild beasts. The ex-
hibition in the menagerie tent contains
giants, midgets and huge collection of
freaks. and lots of magicians, jugglers,
dancers, musicians and specialists. 1t is
