LIKE BALTIMoRRs CALAMITY.
Strikingly Similar Points in Toronto
CONDENSATION

Toronto's great fire, while actually and
proportionately far less disastrous one
than Baltimores recent confiagration. new
ertheless had a number of features similar
to the latter. according to a former resi-
dent of Toronto now living in Baltimore.
LAS was the case in Baltimore said the
gentleman. ''the first started in a wholesale
dry goods district and at the western end
of that district. The wind was high and
relatively in the same direction as the stiff
breeze that carried the flames down Balti-
more street on February z.
THE fire originated. like Baitimore's,
about four or five blocks from the water
front. and. had the blaze continued in
stead of being conquered, 1t would have
been checked by the water of the harbor
and by stream which runs through the
city much In the same way that Jones
falls does.

HORSE BATTERY DRILL
Fine Exhibition at Fort MVer
Yesterday.
WATCHED BY EXPERTS
NO SUCH MANEUVERS SINCE
WAR OF REBELLION.
Revives Question as to Rehabilitating
1t as a Branch of the
Service.
WATCHED BY EXPERTS

A critical audience of artillery and ord
nance experts of the army occupied places
In the gallery in the riding hall at Fort
Myer yesterday and watched with more
than usual interest the maneuvers of the
4th Battery of Field Artillery as a horse
battery, under Capt. Stephen NJ. Foote, Ar
tlllery Corps. While the organization of
Capt. Foote'S command as a horse battery
was made merely for exhibitions. the ma
neuvers had a deeper meaning to the Off
GERS of the army. This is the first time
since the war of the rebellion that a horse
battery has been Unanswered by an officer
of the United States army at a military
post, and it revives the old question as to
the uses of such organizations and the adj
visibility of rehabilitating it as a branch
of the service. The horse battery, as dis
tinguished from the field battery, is or
ganization wherein all the men are mount
ed like cavalry. and 1t Is designed to
operate with large bodies of cavalry. 1t
has the same relation to the present artil-
lery formation as the cavalry does to the
infantry. with certain exceptions made nee
essary by the material of the organization,
and in time of war has been used with
great effect in almost every country OF the
world. The United States is the only great
power that does not include the horse ar
tilery in its regular military establishment,
and the reason given therefor is that L is
too expensive. Army officers, artillerists,
ordnance experts and other students of the
purely military sciences contend that the
failure of this country to provide for II in
the regular army may prove more costly 10
the nation than can be reckoned, and that
the failure of Congress to provide the nee
essary funds for equipping a few such bat
teries at least is a false economy.
First Prominence of the Horse Battery.
The horse battery sprang into prominence
as a unit of military operation during the
Napoleonic campaigns in Europe in the lat
ter part OF the eighteenth century and the

Is RAISING TOBACCO.
Farmer Near CoffeyviIIe Has Patch of
$4,000 Stalks.

Coffeyville, Kas., Sept. 22.-J. S.
Shermanta ocmfwypetao petaojfh
Hamilton, who lives down on Big
creek, brought a stalk of tobacco
leaves which he raised on his place on
Big creek. The leaves were about four
feet long and over foot wide. They
had a good color and a genuine to-
bacco smell. Mr.. Hamilton said that
he had $4,000 such stalks already
hung up. The seed was sent Mr.. Ham
ilton from South America last Decem-
Der. In January he burned a brush
head down along the creek and plant
ed the seed. When the nights were
especially cool he covered the sprouts
with paper. In May and June he re-
planted the young slips in hills and
rows with the above results.
Some time ago Mr.. Hamilton sent a
specimen of this tobacco to a st. Louis
firm. This firm, which is one of the
largest tobacco houses in the country,
sent their buyer, Mr.. Clarence Will
bur, to examine the business. Mr..
Wilbur pronounced the tobacco of as
good a quality as he had seen any
where. He said that the Ligget &
Myers firm would buy all of such to-
bacco furnished them at from % to
35c a stalk. Mr.. Wilbur. who is an
expert in his line, made a examina-
ton of the soil in which the tobacco
was grown and pronounced it excel
lent for the cultivation of the weed.
1t is a light, sandy loan.
