At noon today the Chief of the Fire Department reports that the fire is still beyond control and that the firemen were working against fearful odds in their efforts to hem in the whirlwind of flame which is sweeping across the city and devouring everything in its course The brave fire laddies are well nigh exhausted from their long spell on duty but are yet hopeful and are working like Trojans to corral the great fire before nightfall. The power house has been destroyed and the water supply of the city cut off. At noon the flames crossed over the water to the other portion of the city and the fire is now spreading fast in that section, which contains much inflammable material. E The fire is now fast devouring everything in the lumber district. Every street car'in the city is burned and the city is in a pandemonitim of excitement. The police department is taxed to its full capacity and is kept busy preserving order and holding in check the pilfering and plundering of many houses which have been deserted by excited occupants. The loss thus far is estimated at $200,000,000, and it is claimed by some that these figures will be found entirely too small when the conflagration is finally subdued. Much of the property destroyed was heavily insured, so that the loss sustained by many of the insurance companies will be something tremendous. Many well to do merchants and millionaires who owned magnificent city property have been reduced to an almost penniless condition by the fire. Thus far no loss of life has been reported. MATER. BALTIMORE, Feb. 8, 2:30 p. m.—The-fire is now under control. . The burned district extends from Liberty street to Jones and Fall streets, and from Fayette to Pratt streets, and includes four city blocks in width and three-quarters of a mile long. The portion of the city destroyed includes the wholesale produce lumber, shipping railroad and financial districts. The fire did not reach residence section. The loss is fully two hundred million dollars. ma The Japanese Have Gola Starter Lonpon, February 8—Japanese Minister Hayashi says that war has been practically declared, Korea.

most disastrous fires that has ever occurred in the history of any city in the United States, broke out here at 11 o'clock Sunday morning and is still raging. At noon today the Chief of the Fire Department reports that the fire is still beyond control and that the firemen were working against fearful odds in their efforts to hem in the whirlwind of flame which is sweeping across the city and devouring everything in its course The brave fire laddies are well nigh exhausted from their long spell on duty but are yet hopeful and are working like Trojans to corral the great fire before nightfall. The power house has been destroyed and the water supply of the city cut off. At noon the flames crossed over the water to the other portion of the city and the fire is now spreading fast in that section, which contains much inflammable material. E The fire is now fast devouring everything in the lumber district. Every street car'in the city is burned and the city is in a pandemonitim of excitement. The police department is taxed to its full capacity and is kept busy preserving order and holding in check the pilfering and plundering of many houses which have been deserted by excited occupants. The loss thus far is estimated at $200,000,000, and it is claimed by some that these figures will be found entirely too small when the conflagration is finally subdued. Much of the property destroyed was heavily insured, so that the loss sustained by many of the insurance companies will be something tremendous. Many well to do merchants and millionaires who owned magnificent city property have been reduced to an almost penniless condition by the fire. Thus far no loss of life has been reported. MATER. BALTIMORE, Feb. 8, 2:30 p. m.—The-fire is now under control. . The burned district extends from Liberty street to Jones and Fall streets, and from Fayette to Pratt streets, and includes four city blocks in width and three-quarters of a mile long. The portion of the city destroyed includes the wholesale produce lumber, shipping railroad and financial districts. The fire did not reach residence section. The loss is fully two hundred million dollars. ma The Japanese Have Gola Starter Lonpon, February 8—Japanese Minister Hayashi says that war has been practically declared, Korea.
