BUILDING INSPECTOR
ASKS NEW ORDINANCE
Would Limit Height Of Buildings Not
Made Fireproof

Aid. Clark has given notice of an
amendment to- the building ordinance
which will regulate the height of build
ings in Minneapolis. The present ordi-
nance permits the; constructions of ware
houses which are not fireproof to a height
of eight stories. 1t is proposed to reduce
this limit to four or five stories.
Non fireproof office buildings can go as
far in the air as the finances of the build
ers will permit The proposed ordinance
will restrict this. The; idea of the ordi-
nance is to provide that buildings above
certain height must be constructed of
freproof material

QUIET RE|GNS IN ST.PETERSBURG News of Peace TranquHIy Re-
 csiVed y People FEW NOTABLE EXPRESSIONS The Russians Are Not Making Marked Demonstrations Either of Dis
 satisfaction or of
 Approval.
FEW NOTABLE EXPRESSIONS

St. Petersburg, August S1-(3:1 a. m.)- News of the successful completion Of the preliminary negotiations for peace at Portsmouth has been received here with out marked or even notable expressions either of satisfaction or dissatisfaction Tranquility is perhaps the best term with which to convey the sentiment of prac- tically all classes, including the offi- cials.
 The general and prevailing sentiment among the thinking element is that Ja- pan arrived at recognition of the fact that 1t was really impossible for Russia to make any further concessions be- cause she desired to avoid arousing among the people at home sentiments which would constitute a most serious menace in the future. It is recognized here that Japan also realized the neces- sity for a lasting and stable peace. and 1t is believed that the success of the conference is due to the fact that both nations sincerely desired to effect an un- derstanding.
 How 1t Is Viewed.
 The hope Is expressed here that the same high spirit so necessary to the suc- cess achieved at Portsmouth will obtain until the work of the plenipotentlaries has been finally concluded To this feeling can be ascribed the fact that the more intelligent Russians do not regard the outcome at Portsmouth as being alto gether q diplomatic victory, or a suc- cess won at the expense of Japan.
 There were undoubtedly certain diver gencies of opinion among Russians on one or another of the points set forth in the preliminary peace understandings. These divergencies can be easily attributed to the existing industrial conditions in Rus sia, but 1t Is no exaggeration to say that all classes are deeply and sincerely ap- preciative of the efforts made by Pres ident Roosevelt to bring about peace Furthermore, the general and sustained interest of the American people in the entire matter. finds due recognition and full appreciation here President Roose- velt's efforts, 1t is declared, supplied the : lubricants needed to overcome the fric- tion, and to keep the machinery of the conference running to a successful is- sue.
 Are Not Demonstrative. In considering the lack of effusion and all outward signs of satisfaction with which the news was received at St. Peters burg, t should be borne in mind that the Russians are undemonstrative peo- pie and that the details of the great disasters of the war were recved wItn the same apparent apathy. It Is not the custom of the people here to indulge In demonstrations, either upon occasions of great sorrow or of great happiness, and the lack of popular and spontaneous ex- pressions of satisfaction does not carry the same meaning as In the United States. Furthermore, the news of great events spreads slowly throughout the empire, and this initiates against popular ex- pressions of satisfaction or dissatisfac- ton.
