Japan Seizes Russian Ships.

London, Feb. 9.-In dispatch dat
ed Nagasaki, February 6, and which
was delayed by the censor, CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph asserts
that Russia deliberately precipitated
the crisis by secretly dispatching, a
few days ago from Port Arthur, trans
ports loaded with a full division of
troops and escorted by feet and land
ing them near the Yalu river. thus oc-
cupying Northern Corea.
Japanese patience became exhausted,
and today Japan moved her ships and
took unresisted possession of certain
merchant vessels, including the Shilka
and Manchuria, the correspondent con-
tinues:
"Two other Russian vessels were
seized and escorted to Sasebo, Japan
The Daily Telegraph Gays it supposes
the foregoing seizures occurred at Ma
sampho, but that the censor suppressed
the location.
A special dispatch says strong fleet
of Japanese warships, reported to be on
the way to Chemulpo, has seized sew
eral Russian trading vessels.

FIRE In CHEEK.
After Thirty-Two Hours Fighting Baiti-
more Believes Worst Is Over.

more Believes Worst Is Over.
Baltimore, Feb. 8.-When darkness
fell tonight, the people of this stricken
city knew the worst was over. The
flames which for 80 hours had swept
resistlessly through the heart of the
city were checked. An army of fire
men from many cities, working un-
weariedly, and aided by a muddy little
stream, finally conquered.
Worn by night and day of terror,
the great crowds that watched the ruin
of their city turned homeward, and at
midnight the streets were deserted,
save for the police and military, who
guarded the burned area.
To the south, a red glow rises and
falls, marking 140 acres of devastation,
rs squares of property that yesterday
represented values to the extent of
$75 100000 to $125 ,0Oe, 900. Not
even a close approximation can be
made of the loss. No guess can be
made of the insurance. An expert,
the city building inspector, estimates
the loss in buildings alone at 15,OO0,-
900. This, with the goods carried will
carry the total to not less than $780,
100000. On the other hand it is said
that insurance estimates do not place
the total loss at greater figure than
SIS, 100000. So far there has been no
systematic attempt to fix the values
that were represented in the district in
that which is tonight devastated
waste.
Not single life has been lost. and
not human being has even been dan
gerously injured. The hospital lists
consist of minor burns, with the excep-
tion of Jacob Ilgingritz, fireman from
York, Pa. He has fracture ed leg and
is badly burned.
There has been little or no excite
ment, and there has been no hysteria.
There has been no disorder, and there
has been no looting or attempt at loot
ing. Baltimore tonight is as orderly
as village, and only the throb of the
laboring fire engines and the boom of
dynamite, as it brings dangerous walls
to the gr,.und, disturbs the quiet.
So far there has been no call for aid.
Proffers of assistance have come from
many quarters, from sister cities, from
corporations and from private citizens,
but Baltimore tonight cannot say
whether it will be needed or accepted
That will be decided tomorrow.

WHEN FRANCE WILL BIB CALLED.
Rnssia Must Be Attacked, 'and By Two
Powers.


Paris, Feb. 1O.-Officials have care
fully considered just how far France is
likely to become involved under the
terms of the Franco Russian alliance,
which they say contains two distinct
safeguards limiting French participa-
ton. The first of these is that Russia
must be attacked, and the second that
the attack must be by two powers.
The requirement that Russia be at
tackled has been one of the chief causes
for Russia's temporizing, as she has
not wished to sacrifice the chances of
French support. Officials here, how
ever, have believed and hoped that
Russia would strike the first decisive
blow, as such action would in meas
ure relieve France from participating
in protitless war.
Concerning the condition in the alli-
ance providing that two powers must
attack Russia before France bet ONES
involved, NJ. Delcasse has distinctly
stated to members of the diplomatic
corps that Corea and China would not
be considered such powers if either
joined Japan against Bussia.

SCORE FOR FAIR.
Oregon Senators rIake Diplomatic Move
by Giving Way to St. Louis.

oregon Senator's Take Diplomatic Move
by Giving Way to st. Louis.
Washington, Feb. f. Senators
Mitchell and Fulton appeared before
the full committee on appropriations
today, in connection with the proposed
amendment offered by Senator Mitchell
yesterday, to the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill in the interest of the
Lewis and Clark exposition. The St.
Louis fair people, whose appeal for
loan was under consideration at the
time, felt that they would be embar-
rassed by the retention of the Oregon
amendment, and on this showing and
the assurance of the committee that the
Oregon exposition should receive favor
able consideration, it was decided to
withdraw the amendment and bring it
up later in connection with the sundry
civil bill.
The senators believe that by their
diplomatic course, taken at this time,
they have greatly advanced the inter-
ests of their cause, and they feel more
hopeful than ever of favorable action
later on. They are now assured of the
cordial and active support of the st.
Louis people. The St. Louis PROPOSE
tion will undoubtedly be retained in
the urgent deficiency bill, and this will
be a good precedent for Oregon in the
sundry civil bill.

Help Summoned From Philadelphia,
Washington and New York-Dyna-

Baltimore, Md, Feb. THE most
destructive fire in the history of Balti-
more occurred here today, raging prac-
tically unchecked during many hours,
completely destroying scores of the
largest business houses in the whole
sale district, involving losses which
cannot yet be estimated, as the fire was
still burning aercely when night fell.
Owing to the wide extent of the calam-
ity it will be tomorrow before an ap-
proximate estimate can be made,
though it is certain that it has already
exceeded $4O,OOO,OOO.
The fire broke out shortly before IL
o'clock this morning in the wholesale
dry goods store of John E. Hurst & Co.,
on Hopkins Place, in the heart of the
business district, with series of loud
explosions, which were heard in remote
parts of the city, and spread with fear
full rapidity.
In a half-hour dozen big ware
houses in the wholesale dry goods and
notions district were burning fiercely.
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 was savage fires in at least 80 big
warehouses, and the flames were stead.
lily eating their way into successive

Though every bit of the fire fighting
apparatus in the city was called into

had a task before them which was toe

Joined in the battle with the flames.
Water plugs in every section within

FIGHTING IN PANAMA.
Colombian Troops Attack Indians on the
San Bias Coast.

Panama, Feb. "A report has
reached the isthmus that Colombian
troops are fighting with the Indians on
the San Bias coast, which is in Panama
territory. 1t is impossible, however,
to obtain reliable confirmation of this.
The United States gunboat Bancroft
was to have sailed today from Colon to
Bocas del Toro, but the orders were
countermanded at the last moment, be-
cause of the report of fighting on the
coast.
A letter was received here some time
ago from Captain Torres, commanding
the Panama troops at Chepo, on the
south side of the isthmus and directly
south of the San Bias country, saying
he had decided to cross over to the At
lantic side. There is possibility that
the Indians are fighting with Captain
Torres command, mistaking them for
Colombians.

japan Cuts Cable to Corea.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The French foreign
Office was advised this afternoon that
the japanese have cut the cable con-

of this action is believed to prevent
news of the operations of the Japanese
reaching the Russians, which was pos
sible, no matter how closely censored
the dispatches sent might be. Follow
ing the breaking off of relations between
Russia and Japan and the cutting of
the cable is regarded here as significant
of the purpose of the japanese to begin
hostilities.

BITTER ATTACK ON AMERICA.
Russian General SAYS II War Comes. It
VIII Be Her Fault.


London, Feb. Especial dispatches
received from the Far East, and pub
lished this morning, add nothing to
the knowledge of the actual situation.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph quotes from the
Novo Vremya bitter editorial attack
upon the United States, which he sup
poses to be an outcome of the dispatch
of American consuls to Mukden and
Antung. The Novo Vremya accuses
the United States of a desire to win
the hegemony of the entire globe, and
exclude Europe from the Far Eastern
market, and declares eff, as it seems
likely, wal breaks out, it will have
been instigated by the Yankees with
their utilitarian views"
Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister to
Great Britain, describes the situation
in the Far East as "certainly very
threatening" but said everything de-
pended on Russia g reply.

FAIR BILL PASSES.
Senate Votes to Extend Aid 10 Lewis
and Clark Exposition.


Washington, Feb. 9.-Without dis
senting vote the Lewis and Clark expo
sition bill passed the senate at 5 80
yesterday afternoon, carrying an aggre-
gate appropriation Of $1,775 900. Sec
tion Is of the bill, providing for the
construction of a memorial building
was stricken out; the number of ma
tional commissioners was reduced from
seven to three; an amendment was at
tached absolutely closing the exposition
and grounds on Sunday, and the frank
ing privilege denied to the national and
state commissions. Aside from these
changes, the bill was passed in SUBJ
stantially the shape in which it recent
ly came from the senate committee.
The Lewis and Clark bill came up
unexpectedly at 3:15. The attendance
at this time was slight, but as the de-
bate proceeded, senators returned to
the chamber, until, at the time the
bill was passed, there was fair aver
age attendance. Twice during the af-
ternoon it looked as if the bill would
have to go over until some future time.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, made a
rather vicious attack upon the large
amount carried by the bill, and threat
ened to force fight, which might have
been temporarily disastrous.
Later Senator Allison became critical
of the phraseology of the bill, and but
for the intervention of Senator Fulton
would have forced the senate to ad-
journ without taking action on the bill.
The committee amendments were most
ly adopted without discussion, but the
last committee amendment, relating to
Sunday closing, provoked protracted
debate, and in the end resulted in the
adoption of an amendment offered by
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, closing
both buildings and grounds on Sun
days

ARB DRIVEN OUT.
Russia Making Thousands of Hebrews
Leave Moscow. ~

London, Feb. 4.-Moscow is being
depopulated of its Jewish residents by
order of the Russian governor of the
city. Investigation, begun at his or
der, into the domiciliary rights, under,
an old law, of 5000 Jewish working
men and artisans has resulted in the,
expulsion of thousands.
The police are carrying out the in
structions given them with the great
est zeal. Jewish houses throughout
the city are entered and searched at all
hours of the day and night for evidence
that will permit the expulsion of the
residents.
The law upon which the governor
bases his right to make the crusade
against the Jews is an old one under
which any Jewish workingmen and
those who were members of the First
Guild of Merchants, or were academic
ally educated, were allowed to remain
in Moscow after the expulsion of 1891.
Recently the governor ordered strict
investigation into the rights of those
residents. On finding the slightest
flaw the order of expulsion is issued.
Many families whose fathers during
the sos paid for the freedom of tho
city to their heirs have been expelled
suddenly. 1t was charged that the
fathers who paid for this right paid
taxes only as members of the First
Guild of Merchants for eight years.
According to recent law the free
dom of the city cannot be secured by
any one who has not paid his taxes as
member of the First Guild for ten
years. This recent law has been ap-
piled in the cases OF the dead Jews,
and their ancestors have been expelled
under its provisions.
Those of the expelled Jews who have
means have been taken to the railway
station and compelled to buy tickets.
Those who have not the means to buy
tickets are forwarded without expense.
