OF The Spirit of Louisiana by Miss
leila Baylos, of New York, was a
source Of much worry to the commits
sion until it vas learned that it was
safe.
But little time was lost by the COM
mission in having the furniture re-
moved from the open air and from
surrounding pavilions, whence it was
taken during the fire, to a place for
storage and repair.
Some of the furniture is practically
unchanged, and water is responsible
for the greatest of the damage. The
heavy furniture in the governors re-
ception room is without a scratch, and
is practically in as good condition as
when it was first placed in the build
ing. The bed and other furniture in
the governors bedroom, adjoining, is
very little damaged, if any, and it is
still in the building. The So, 900 man
tel on the west side of the reception
room shows practically no effect from
the fire or water.
Historical Society Exhibit.
The exhibit of the Missouri histo-
rical society, which Walter Williams
and his volunteed salvage corps saved
Saturday night, vas placed tempo
rarily yesterday in the Ohio building.
Most of the books are the property of
the state university, and they will be
taken to Columbia, Mo-, before the
close of the week. No insurance was
carried on the books, but only a few
of them are damaged.
The 10000 volumes comprising the
model library, which was located in
the extreme east end of the building,
were carried out from the building
and deposited on the grass a short
distance north of the building. Under
the direction of Joseph F. Langton, as
sistant librarian of the st. Louis Pub
lie School library, the books were re-
moved to the Ohio building, where
they will remain until their removal
to the public library in the Board of
Education building. The library will
lose nothing, the slight damage to the
books and furniture being covered by
a $4,000 insurance policy. .
Distribution of THE Missouri Book
will be resumed in the Kansas City
Casino by Walter Williams, its editor.
Mr.. Williams states that practically
all of the books were saved.
The large relief map showing the
topography of Missouri was not dam
aged in the least either by fire or wa
ter. 1t is fastened to the wall of the
Model library.
1t is a peculiar incident that all OF
the files of newspapers which were al
so in this room were removed from the
building Saturday night except the
Deepwater (Henry county, World, ant
as Mr.. Williams puts it, deepwater wa
something needed very much at the
Missouri building.
Origin of the Fire.
President Davis is strongly of thu
opinion that the fire which destroyed
the building was caused by an eXrlo
sion of the automatic heater. The ga
in the heater is ignited by the pres
, bure Of the water, and Mr.. Davis THINKS
that on account of the uneveness of tn
pressure at the Worlds fair that a
, times it has caused an accumulation o
| the gas without its being ignited, I'm
| til the gas was ignited and an explo
sion was caused. The fact that an ex
/ plosion was heard leads Mr.. Davis t
this theory Of the cause Of the con
Migration.

Emma D. Nuckolls, n of the hos-
~tesses, recovered one trunk. Her
greatest loss was an antique bead bag,
an heirloom which had been in the
family for 70 years. 1t was originally
the property of Mrs. Nuckolls' grand
mother, who, as Miss Anne Caldwell,
was a reigning belle of social life in
the national capital at Washington.
Miss Caldwell at one time was ell
gagged to be married to President Bu-
chanan. The bag was of garnets and
turquoise.
Mrs. Belle Hall Small, another hos
tess, lost all of her effects. She car
ried insurance, as did Mrs. Nuckolls.
mission, had insurance on his belong
ings, but it is understood that at the
time he had nothing in the building.
Judge and Mrs. ]. H. Hawthorne esti-
mate their loss at $3.50. He saved a
valuable diamond-studded gold watch,
but a diamond pin is still missing.
d. P. Stroup, a member of the COM
mission, places his loss at about $500.
Neither he nor Mr.. Davis carried any
insurance.
Finds Her SIS Bill.
Mrs. A. G. Dwyer, who had charge of
the private dining-room of the build
ing, saved all of her clothing. She lost
a $40 bill, while another S. bill, which
was OF the dining-room table, was
found by her yesterday morning.
President Davis saved a trunk con-
tanning silverware and some of his ard
Mrs. Davis clothing, though he lost a
new overcoat and a suit of clothes,
pinned on the coat of which was his
badge of the Missouri commission.
The Missouri commission expects to
be ready for business promptly this
morning, with headquarters in the
Kansas City Casino, on the Model
street. President Davis believes thai
all the records have been saved, in
GLIDING the thousands of vouchers
which serve as receipts for the OK
penditures of the commission.
How Loss is Figured.
In estimating the loss at so small
sum as compared with what was
thought to be the amount of the dam.
age caused by the fire, Commissioners
Davis and Hawthorne figure that Al
the most they could not have realized
more than $1,000 for the structure
which cost $160, 900, while in its pres.
ent condition the commission will BIZ
forced to expend $1,000 for its re,
moval from its present site, thus maxi.
ing the loss on the score of the pavilion
$1,500. 1t is believed by the commits
sioners that the difference between
what the furniture, carpets and drap
cries would ordinarily have brough
and the sum which they will brin.
now, added to the amount of tina
which was totally destroyed, would
make that loss $4,000. The same i
true of the fixtures and machinery, in
Guiding the dynamos, this damag
amounting to $4,000.

SOME SURMISES
|. ON THE SITUATION

Mukden, Oct "a, via Pekin.-While
no pitched battle has occurred during
the last few days, the two armies are
kept in touch with one another, hold
ing the. positions they occupied when
the big battle ended. There is no evi-
dence that the Russian army will rush
north as was the case after the battle
|of Lao Yang. In fact the Russians
have another line of defenses to } fall
back on in the event that they are forc-
ed out Of their present positions.
During the last few days there has
been frequent artillery fire, asionally
infantry attacks and daily clashes be-
tween outposts and scouts. s
Unless the Japanese take the initia-
tive soon, the Russians, it is expected,
will resume the offensive and endeavor
to drive the Japanese back for the pur-
pose of insuring the safety of their
winter quarters, which undoubtedly
/ will be north of Mukden unless a south
ward advance is success sf,'i
Another big battle is expected shortly,
as the weather is already turning cold.
1t will be impracticable for the two ar
mics to winter in their present posi-
tions, midway between Mukden and
Lao Yang.
Many incidents are coming to light
showing tile bravery Of the Russian sol
diers during their stubborn resistance
to the Japanese advance and in their
attempts to drive the japanese back.
The men fought night and day without
Irest and afterWard worked for hours
carrying the wounded to the hospitals.
When the Russian troops recaptured
Lone Tree Hill they retook several
guns and a quantity Of ammunition
which the. Japanese had previously cap
ItuTed. They also took several japanese
guns in addition.
All the conclusion of the fight the
lhill was covered with the dead and
wounded of both armies. The Japan
lese prisoners were treated by the Rus
slams with the greatest kindness. All
one hospital visited BY the Associated
Press correspondent Japanese priyates
twere found in the officers ward. The
lar1ny medical corps and the Red Cross
societies did splendid work. The
wounded were dressed and forwarded
| to tile hospitals with the greatest ex-
pedition.
The Russian cofnlnissariat also was
admirably handled. Portable soup kit,
