TO OBSERVE OPERATIONS.
United States Cruiser Squadron to Go
to Chinese Waters.


Washington, Feb. 10.-Orders will
be cabled to Rear Admiral Evans to
send his cruiser squadron, consisting
of the Alliance, New Orleans, Raleigh
and Cincinra att, from Subig bay to
some point in Chinese waters yet to
be determined to observe the naval
operations. It is expected the squad
ron can coal and get under way within
two days. Admiral Evans is expected
to keep the battleship squadron in
Philippine waters throughout the pc.
Rod of hostilities between Russia and
Japan This decision was reached at
the cabinet meeting during the day
after long consideration. 1t has been
definitely settled that the cruiser
squadron will not go to Port Arthur.
Admiral Evans is not instructed re-
garding his own movements, but it is
believed in naval circles that he will
transfer his flag to the Albany and
proceed northward with the squadron.

until 1895, when he was succeeded by
E. H. Wilson. In 1897 he was reap
pointed, and has served continuously
since that time. He has shown signal
ability in the management of the in
stitution, and many improvements
have been inaugurated under his
regime, most notable Of which is the
state prison Irvine plant, which was
Installed and is operated under his
personal supervision. He has paid
close attention to prison matters, has
been a regular attendant upon the an
nual meetings Of prison managers and
stands high among men whose work
Is the government of penal institu-
lions.
The Saltwater prison is much larger
than the local penitentiary. There
are over $50 prisoners, as against 1856
in the local prison. There is a Irvine
plant producing 100000 pounds of
Irvine annually, and an extensive shoe
shop.

NOT A LIFE LOST in DISASTER.
Big Baltimore Elaze Unique in One
Particular.

Particular.
Baltimore, Feb. l0.-With the great
fire which ate up property variously
estimated from $75,O0O,000 to $780,
100000 slowly burning itself out Bal.
timore awoke during the morning to
face the grave questions of civic and
municipal readjustment. Confronting
the mayor and his associates of the
city government are the problems OF
aid, the acceptance or refusal of gen.
erous offers of assistance from every
section of the country, policing of the
vast burned district where lies buried
untold treasure in warped vaults and
safes and all the hundred minor
things that follow a calamity so stu.
pendous that it is even yet hardly
fully realized.
Three regiments of state militia in
fantry are on duty and Troop A OF
the state guard also has been called
into service. So thoroughly is the po
Icing of the city now systematized
that the big force of federal troops
ordered here to assist the national
guard was not needed and after con
ference with Brigadier General Riggs
Major General Corbin has returned tc
New York and it is not probable that
a single federal soldier will be re
tanned in Baltimore.
Not a Life Lost in Disaster.
Probably never before has there
been a fire of such magnitude abso'
lutely without loss of lie and so re
markably free from accidents. The

CREATED CONSERVATION.
News Of Opening Of War start'es
French Officials.

Paris, Feb. lG.-The news of the
first Japanese attack with torpedo
boats on the Russian fleet off Port Ar
thur created CONSERVATION here. The
officials of the foreign office were
among the first to receive the informa'
ton and their advices we're similar to
those of the 81. Petersburg Official
Gazette, showing that two Russian
battleships and one cruiser were dam
aged and also showing that four tor
pedo boats made the attack. An Off
cial of the foreign Office said:
1T is profoundly to be regretted
that such a decisive step has been
taken, as it terminates the efforts the
powers might have made to avert
actual warfare"
Information has been received here
showing that the British government
will Issue a declaration of neutrality
within a few days. perhaps immedi'
ately, and that France will take the
same course within day or two.
At q conference Of ministers under
the presidency of M. Loubet Foreign
Minister Delcasse communicated the
news of the first Japanese attack with
torpedo boats on the Russian fleet of
Port Arthur and announced that the
French minister at Toxic had been In
structed to assure the protection oil
Russian subjects and their interests
in Japan.
The naval engagement OF Port Ar
thur is understood to have mainly oc
cupied the attention of the council Of
ministers. The impression prevailed
that the three Russian ships tQrpedoed
are so disabled as to be unserviceable
for the remainder OF the war, thus
placing the Russian fleet in q state Of
manifest inferiOrity. Az ~

Matched, and the polywogs wriggie out
and begin to feed on the stings Of jel-
ly which lately encOmpassed them. They
grow rapidly. and III the course Of a few
weeks more the legs are developed, the
tail is resorbed, and the tiny toads leave
the water for a life on dry land. They
are very sensitive to the suns rays.
and they hide away under all
sorts Of objects which afford them shade
until evening or until a shower Of rain
tempts them out into the cool, moist
air. In some cases, after rain, they
come out in great numbers, and the
country newspapers report that they
came down in the shower itself. While
thus small, they are picked up and eat
en- by many species of birds, and even
after they are full-grown they are re-
garded as regular prey by hawks, owls,
snakes, and probably skunks and many
other nocturnal creatures. The fact
that they usually spend their days un-
der cover. doubtless saves them from
many creatures which would otherwise
Prey upon them. Their only means of
defense seems to be an acrid secretion
of the skin, which is very distasteful to
dogs and some other animals, but
which quite fails to discourage the bird
Of prey.
