The explosion is believed to have
been caused by guest who lighted a
match in room where gas had been
escaping. The fire alarm was turned
in by postoffice clerks at the Union
railroad station, who heard the explo-
sion, although they were three blocks
from the scene. When the firemen

that they found the work Of fire fight

When the flames were sufficiently

TO HELP US FIGHT JAPAN
Russian Officers Take Tteps to
Organize Volunteers.

s.. p@ter3b biIg, Nov 29.--As a re-
suit ii he fact tlat Washington has
Cah]@i %s"r ta,V Taft requesting hin
70 hasten his return to the United
States the secretary, who is coming
across the Transsiberian railroad and
is due at Moscow Saturday, has sent
a telegram to Montgomery Schuyler,
Jr., the American charge d'affaires,
asking him, If possible, to arrange the
audience with Emperor Nicholas so as
to enable Mr.. Taft to leave St. Peters
burg the afternoon of Dec 4 instead
of the night of Dec 5, as provided for
in the original schedule MI Taft says
that he must catch the steamer Pres
ident Grant, which will sail from Ham.
burg Dec. Z and that if he leaves st.
Petersburg On the 5th even the closest
connections will make it hardly posi-
BILE for him to get to Hamburg in
time.
The visit Of Secretary Taft has
given an impetus to the stream of
Russians who come to the American
embassy to volunteer their services
for the supposedly impending Japa-
nese-American war. This idea has
gotten such hold on the people that
some officers have even taken steps
to organize companies of volunteers.
Mr.. Schuyler is resorting to the Rus
sian press to deny the possibility Of
any trouble with Japan and conse-
quently of the need of volunteers.
The most absurd stories regarding
Secretary Taft's mission to Russia
are in general circulation. AS an ex-
ample there is published tale that
the secretary is authorized to arrange
for the stationing of two Russian army
corps in the Philippine islands and
one American corps at Vladivostok
and that he already has engaged sew
eral Russian officers at high salaries
for this service.
