aminations should be so altered as to
admit longshoremen, gIfpmen, truck

Croker. owing to the fact that The eA-

France considers it to be the interest

France is ready, if the Japanese gov.

The Gaulois says the French diplo-

tefest to conciliate that power, espe-
cially on account of her projects in
Thibet and that she will Immediately
inform Japan that not having needed

count on the support of the British
cabinet

chancellors, shortly, will be addressed
to Japan notifying her OF the neu-
trality of these powers in whatever
may happen.
The correspondent of The Matin in
London telegraphs another interview
with Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister there, who told him that ia.
pan has already notified China that
in the event of her victory the integ-
rity OF China will be respected. The
minister limited that one of the princi-
pal objects of Japan Is the beginning
of the campaign that will be the de-
struction of the railroad from Harbin
to Port Arthur, and that Japan hoped
for much from the Manchurian bri-
gands, who detest the Russians.

Rome, Feb. 8-King Victor Eman-
uel had long interview with Pre-
mier Giolitti and Marine Minister Mo-
rabello today as result of the sever
ance of diplomatic relations between
Russia and Japan. The king hopes
that war still may be averted Minis
ter Mirabello has cabled instructions
to the commander of the Italian squad
ron in the Far East to send the Ital-
ian third-class cruiser Nba in Korean
waters to protect Italian interests, and
to have the armored cruiser Vettor
Pisani communicate between them.
The third-class cruiser Pugilia now
at San Francisco, has been ordered to
Japan.
Although it Is hardly considered that
their sailing will be necessary in view
OF the limited Italian interests there,
two other warships are ready to start
for the Far East.
An exchange Of views on the sub
ject is taking place between the coun.
tries whose rulers, like the king of
Italy, have received letters from Che
emperor of Korea announcing his In
tention to abstain from any act which
might be interpreted as a breach of
neutrality. Although not unexpected,
the later news from the Far East
deeply affected the pope, whose mind
Immediately turned to the faithful and
the missionaries expected to see the
horrors of war. The pontiff said:
Il still have hopes of the disposition
of the zar Let us pray that God
may guide him.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. S.-The most
destructive conflagration in the his
tory of Baltimore occurred here yes
terday, raging practically unchecked
during many hours, completely de-
stroying scores of the largest busi-
ness houses in the wholesale dis
triot, involving losses which cannot
yet be estimated. Owing to the wide
extent Of the calamity, it will be to-
morrow before even an estimate can
be made though 1t is certain that
1t has already exceeded $4,000, 900.
The fire broke out shortly before
IL o'clock in the wholesale dry goods
Hopkins place, in the heart of the
business district, with a series of
loud explosions, which were heard
In remote parts of the city and
spread with fearful rapidity.
In half of hour there were a
dry goods and notions district burn
Ing hercely.
The entire city fire department was
called out, but was utterly powerless
to check the spread of the flames,
which were aided by high winds, and
by noon there were savage fires in
at least thirty big warehouses and
the confagration was steadily eating
its way into successive blocks east,
north, west and south.
Building after building fell a prey
to the flames, and apparently there
was no check to tre onward sweep of
destruction.
