The Korlels took up an offensive attitude towards the J apanese vessels and fired on the Japanese tor pedo boats. The latter discharged two torpedoes Ineffectively and then the Korielz returned to her anchorage fn the port. "Early tn the morning of Tuesday, Admiral Urik, commanding the Japa neza iquadron, formally called on the Russian warships to leave Chemulpo before noon. The admiral added that if his demand waa not complied with he would be compelled to attack them tn the harbor. Tbe two Rusaian war ships left the port at about 11:30 A.

In these peaceful aims we signified assent to tne proposals ol tne Japa oese government to revise agreements regarding Corean affairs existing be tween the two governments. How ever, the negotiations begun upon this subject were not brought to a conclu aion. and Japan, without awaiting tbe receipt of the last responsive proposals of our government, declared the nego tiations broken off and diplomatic re lations with Russia dissolved. "Without advising us of the fact that the breach of such relations would in itself mean opening of warlike op erations, tbe Japanese government gave orders to its torpedo boats to sud denly attack our iqusdron standing in i he outer harbor or the fortress of Port Atthur. Upon receiving reports from the viceroy In the Far East about this, we immediately commanded him to answer the Japanese challenge with armed force.

SITUATION IN TAB CITY OF BALTIMORE Business Men Aroused to Import ance of Keeping Their Trade from Slipping Away. IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN. Issorssce Compsales Cooperatlo With Bsnk People to Relieve Flaaiclal -Sltnstloa-Pedersl Troops Isf Replace the State militia. Br Telegraph to the Morning Btar. Baltimore, Feb. 10. Tbe situation In stricken Baltimore began to visibly clear to-day after a conference at the Belvldere hotel between Mayor Me Lane, a special joint committee of the Legislature and a formidable delega tion of representative business men. This conference was arranged with a view of meeting in a practical way the awful exigency which this com munity now facer. The supreme ques tion to be decided was tbat of calling upon tbe national rovernment for soldiers to take the places of the two State militia regiments now doing police duty in the burned, diatrict The conatitution of Maryland re quires that no such request caiL.be made of the President except, by authority of the State Legialature. Tbe legislative committee was present to bear tbe views of ibe mayor and officers of the city on tbat point. On this score it was shown that the State militiamen were already much ex hausted by their long continued sen try duty : that they should be relieved in order tbat they might return to their several vocations, and that the militia on active duty is costing the State f 50,000 a day. Mayor McLiane was narticularlv in sistent that to efficiently guard the hundreds of millions of treasure that ie buried beneath .the smouldering ruins called for tbe strong arm of the Federal soldiers. The announcement of the Legislative committee that it would recommend at once the passage of tbe necessary resolution waa re ceived with pleaaure by the officers and business men present, and now that the Legislature has formally scted, there is every assurance tbat a national cordon around the devastated region will Inspire a feeling of hopeful confidence In the future. Mr. McLane's announcement tbat he ill appoint an emergent committee of citizens to act as an advisory board of municipal officials is a great step forward in the way of putting the sit uation upon a practical business-like shape. There is no doubt that within the past twenty-four hours the business men of Baltimore have been aroused in an extraordinary degree to the im portance of doing everything possible to keep their trade advantages from slipplog away. Merchants and bankers have been conferring to-day on this subject and the prevailing conviction is that it will require the utmost vigi lance to prevent the deflection of a considerable volume of commerce to Philadelphia and New York. It Is believed bere that the situation may be saved if the debris can be cleared away and temporary- buildings erect ed within four months. That a large per centsge of tbe8pring trade will be loat is inevitable, but there is a set re solution among wholesale merchants tbat the per centsge shall bs as small as possible. The opening to-day of the board room by tbe Chamber or commerce and tbe receipt of quotations, tbe un interrupted ahipments of grain car goes, the notification of some of tbe large insurance companies of their readiness to pay fifty per cent on losses, and the action of the Legisla ture in asking for Federal troops, con stitute a chain of incidents which have contributed materially to the restora tion of public confidence and cheer fulness. Financial institutions are to-day busily engsged in carting their secur ities and funds to temporary offices outside the confines of tbe burned dis trict. By 8 o'clock express wsgons and other available conveyances were backed up to banks and trust com pany buildings preparatory to remov ing all book?, papers, funds, etc. The vault or tbe First National bank was opened and it wss found that all. of the aecuritlea and moneys of tbe bank were as safe as on the day they were plscedin the vault. They were re moved to the American National bank building on Gay atreet where tempo rary offices will be opened. A number of large vaults and safes were opened to-day and in each of them tbe contents were found to be in good condition. Four hundred thous and dollars In coin and legal tender notes was taken from the vaults of tbe Third National bank and sent to the vaults of a bank outside the fire dis trict. A heavy guard of soldiers ac comnanled the money. The bankers of the city are doing their beat to help the financial situa tion, some of the burned out banking houses resuming business in a small way at their temporary quarters. Most of the checks for small amounts pre sented to-day were caahed, but those for large sums were not paid In full. Telegrams. letters and resolutions a ftring aid orfsympatby were still be intr received at the mayor's office. Among them was a cablegram from Liverpool announcing that at a repre sentative meeting of the tradesmen or that citv a reaolution was unanimous ly pasaed tendering the sympathy of tbat city to the citizens of Haiti more. The insurance underwriters put In a verv busy day. perfecting their organ! zation and preparing to get at the work of adjusting the losses. About a dozen "losa committees" were appoint ed and to-morrow these will get to work adiuatinr the insurance. The insurance companies are also en nner aline with I tie bank people In their efforts to relieve the financial situation. The largest companies and aome of the smaller ones, too, have decided to immediately pay fifty per cent, of tbe amount of tbe claims pre sented to them where the lots was total or nearly so. leaving the remainder to banaid after the insurance bas been nnallv adjusted. A few small claims naid bv some comnaniea to-day Insurance men seen to-day as a rule tik tn the eatlmates made yesterday on Insurance losses. There ia still a wide difference of opinion among tbem. A minority express the belief that when all the adjustments have been made, the Insurance companies will not have to pay more than 160, 000,000, while others think that $100, 000,000 will not more than cover the Insurance. Between $80,000,000 and 190,000,000, however, is the prevailing estimate. Firemen Alarmed. The Incal fireman mmr alarmed about 1:30 P. M. to-day, when In responding to an alarm from the residential section they saw fire issu ing from the roof of the home of the late John E. Hurst, on Cathedral Street. The disaster of Fnhmm 7th started In the business house of John ic tiursL The fire proved to be tbe burnins? of aool in a chlorine and waa extinguiahed before damage wss done.
