BALTIMoRE's REHABILITATION
Emergency commitses's Report Ap-
 proved by the Mayor.

Baltimore. Feb. 15.-Mayor McLane tonight approved the report of the emergency committee appointed for the purpose Of recommending plans for the rehabilitation of the burned section of the city. The report says:
 Tt is impossible now to form an ap- proximate estimate of the gross loss which this great confagration has oc- casioned. The business center has been completely destroyed. and as large stocks preparatory to the spring trade were burned the loss has been very great A careful Investigation, how ever, shows that large amount of iIl- surance. the greater part of it written by outside and foreign companies, was carried upon both buildings and their contents, and that this insurance will be promptly paid.
 Tt is gratifying to state that many of the large interests have escaped with comparatively little, if any, loss, and that practically no important factories were injured or destroyed. All the banks, trust companies, savings banks and financial institutions within the fire belt find their vaults in good con- dition and the contents uninjured, and they are rapidly resuming business in temporary offices and are ready to ex- tend to merchants their usual accom- modations.
 .sOur merchants stand substantially as before the fire, those whose places of business were destroyed have opened temporary quarters and have already resumed operations. having full trans portation facilities for the reception and delivery of goods.
 ''Our railroad and transportation ia cilities are unimpaired. The city's loss has been only pecuniary. So far as we know no lives have been lost, and no one injured.
 'sThe absence of disorder and the self control of the people have been remark able.
 ''The general tone of the community is excellent, our citizens being animated by but one desire-to repair the effects os the disaster at the earliest moment possible. and in doing so to take ad- vantage of every opportunity to inn prove the city and it's facilities"

RUssTA's UNKEPT PROMISES.
Hnformes' by England That People Are
 Looking for Thcir Fuifiiiment.


 London, Feb. 15--A lengthy parlia- mentary paper issued to-day contains correspondence regarding the Russian occupation of Manchuria, covering the period from July 1, 1900, to January B. 1904.
 On the latter date Count Bencken- dorff, the Russian ambassador to Great Britain, communicated to Foreign Sec retary Lansdowne formal declaration that Russia would not interfere with the existing treaty rights of the pow CTS. Lord Lansdowne expressed satis- faction with these assurances, but he expressed his regret that Russia should have found it impossible to take even a single step in pursuance of policy which she thus prescribed for herself, and said that the people of England were looking for some concrete evil dence of Russias intention to fulfill her promises. For example, the announce nent that New Chwang would be evac- uated at an early date would have a re- assuring effect and Lord Lansdowne was not aware of any local difficulty in the way of this move.

APPRECIATES U. s. sYMPATHY
Japanese Premier Makes Public Ac-
 knowlegement of II.


 Tokio. Feb. 15.-Marquis Ito to-day gave The Associated Press a written expression of his sentiments toward the American people, as follows:
 Tt is with profound satisfaction that i I see so many symptoms of spontaneous sympathy with which the free thinking people of your great nation seem to watch the present crisis my opinion 1 it was evident that Russia's high hand ed expansion toward the hegernony of the east. combined with her recent ! strenuous military efforts hereabouts hes been becoming a daily menace to our future safety and peaceful exist ence. Either to enter into cordial and durable understanding with her, clearly defining and mutually recogniz- ing the respective spheres of interests and binding her thereby to certain amount of self-restraint in the future or else to have recourse to measures for safeguarding our future independence ere 1t was too late, was the drastic di- lemma from which we could no longer escape. We have tried our best to ob- tam our object by the first alternative, and we have sacrificed much energy and time and many opportunities for the sake of peace. Having failed, however, .here remains no other way for us but | to stand up in defence of our future safety, and our own future undisturbed enjoyment of the fruits of peace and civilization. No trace of race prejudices no smack of revenge, of ehauvinism, nothing but the cool reason of state ne- cessity and of self-preservatio infiu- enced Japan's action. The rest I leave to the impartial judgment of civilized nations. which. in the course of their uast history must have had many ex- oeriences os noble struggles in defence i os the honor and sasety of their coun- l tries. I take this opportunity of ex- pressing my thanks once more for all the cordial hospitality shown me during my soiourn in America.

 iversal exoressions of regret tonight among public men at the death of Sena- tor Hanna, all of them without distinc- tion of party saying the country had lost one of it's most forceful and useful citizens.

Hay, could fail to recognize in him those re- inarkable qualities of mind and heart that distinguished him as man among men. He was man in q thousand for generosity, honesty and loyalty. He

SENATOR HANN4,s SUCCESSOR.
Ohio Legislature in sossion and wn
 Elect Him.

l Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-As the Ohio leg
 islature is now in session, Senator
 Hanna's successor will not be appointed Iby the governor, but at once elected for the terms expiring in March, 1905, and in March, 1911. Less than seven years ago Hanna, who had, never before held office, succeeded John Sherman as sena- { tor and had over seven years yet to
 serve, having last month been re-elect- f edI During the last week there has
 been much comment about the sena- torial succession. Among the names
 mentioned in this connection have been those of Governor Herrick, Charles P. U. H. Hoyt of Cleveland; General J.. 4 Warren Keller of Springfield; General
 Asa w. Jones of Youngstown, and Con-
 gressmen Dick, Grosvenor, Burton and
 Nevin. Senator Hanna lived in north
 eartesrn and Senator Foraker in south western Ohio. It Is claimed by some that geographical conditions are likely 1 to add to the chances of Governor Her.
 rick of Congressman Dick, who reside
 in lake districts. While Senator Fora
 ker resides in Cincinnati, the friends of Taft and Cox cite the case of their In-
 diana neighbors, where Senators Fair
 banks and Beveridge both reside in Tn dianapolis. For years candidates for 1 United States senators have been en-
 dorsed by state conventions so that the 1 Legislatures action was merely per- 1 functory, but now there is every indica-
 tion of free-fer-all contest before the 1 legislature.

SHORT INDIANA CAMPAIGN.
Republicans Consider Sixty Days
Ample Time for Canvass.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Richmond. Ind. July a-Present indica-
lions are that the Republican campaign
will open late this year in Indiana. This
has been decided Upon by the State candi-
dates. and others high in the councils Of
the party. Both Senators Fairbanks,
now the nominee for Vice President. and
Beverage and a majority of the candi-
dates favor a late and short campaign.
No date has been fixed, owing to the
fact that the real opening will be deter
mined by the activity that may be mani
tested by the Democrats. If they begin
the battle soon after the St. Louis conven-
ton. the state Committee Is empowered
TO start the campaign sooner for the Re
publicans.
Sixty days is considered ample time in
which to conduct the campaign and that
a longer time would simply wear the peo-
pie out. Senator Beveridge will take a
prominent part in the Indiana campaign
this year-more SO than In former cam
paigns. Instead of giving a great deal Of
time to other States. as has been his Gus
tom, he will give the Indiana State Com
mittee the first call on his services. Bey-
eridge Is in great demand as a campaign
speaker.
