BALTIMORE Magical Prosjress 1st moving Ibe De bris Beady to Do Business at the Old Stand. Baltimore, Feb. 11. To-day mark ed the most cheerful advarfce Baltimore has yet made iocmerging from the dark cloud castupon it by the great conflagation of last Sunday aud Mon day. An incident that inspired the hole community fith tremendous confidence was the resumption of busi ness bf the Itanks, deposits being re ceived ancUcnecks honored in-the usual way. It would be difficult to estimate the volume of transactions in this re spegjt, but according to the leading bankers it was grattfyingly large in view of existing conditions. The knowledge that Baltimore's ter minal facilities are intact and that the grain elevators were not involved in the firey tornado also served to promote a popular conviction that the situation is not so dark a it has heretofore appear ed. Indeed the optimistic feeling is manifestly growing that the calamity, though harrowing in every detail, will give the city an opportunity to re adjust itself on new and modern plans and that a new city of imposing grandeur is to rise from the ruins of the old. The progress which has been made today in the work of clearing the debris from the streets in the burned district seerr-s almost magical. Baltimore street, which at sunrise was a confused mass of rubbish, is practically clean, and like wise South street, one of the great banking thoroughfares. Hanover Btreet, near wbere the fire started, was made passable for wagons, and Pratt street, a long avenue of trade, is clear of en cumbai ces all the way through. The city engineers' department, the build ing inspector and the street cleaning department, all worked in conjunction. No attempt was made to do more than to clear the streets from curb to curb, the debris being piled high on the side walks and back of the building line. Many dangerous walls which over hang the streets were pulled down. The most ambitious attempts at razing walls were on Liberty and Lombard streets. At each of these place there are hoisting engines with wire cables, which are fastened to a section of the toppling alls and 'then wound drpon the sp ols. The Hurst building in which the fire started was pulled down All through the financial district prep arations are being made to open safes and vaults. The chamber of commerce has been exceedingly active to-day in sending broadcast to every center of trade in this country and Europe the assurance that Baltimore is even now in condition to transact all shipping, grain and for eien trade, and that all other lines of business will be restored to their nor mal channels within the next two or three months. Many merchants and manufacturers whose places of businesswere swallowed up in the conflagration have signed contracts for rebuilding and there are on all sides the greatest signs of activ ity in this respect. All are simply watting fob the city to clear the streets of debris and give permission to the owners of the ground to take posses sion. The matter of accepting aid from other cities, has not yet been fin ally decided upon, according to Mayor MoLane. The fire did not reach the residential section of the city and there is no actual deslitutioti at this time. The indications are that the citizens of Baltimore will be fully able to take care of all cases of want that might present inemBeivea. xne mayor ieeis grateiui for the many proffers of aid from the citizens of this country and from for eign lands. The leading savings banks in the city combined in a public announce ment to-night that none- of them have suffered any loss of securities by the fire, and that they are in aa good condition financially as ever and that they will be open for business February 15th. A composite estimate of the total loss from the fire by 25 expert representa tives of leading insurance companies outside Baltimore places the figures at $86,000,000. Some of them think that the total loss will be reduced to 170, 000,000f as qjuch salvage is being dug out of thy ruins which was thought to have been destroyed. The loss to the insurance companies is estimated bg the sarfja experts at 75 per cent, of the total loss. rata End ta It All. A grievous wail of times comes as a re sult of unbearable pain from over taxed organs JJizzinesstackacne, liver com plaint and constiffcshon.

President Roosevelt to-day issued a proclamation declaring the geutralily of this govern ment in the Russo-Jipanese war. The document, after setting forth the exist ence of a state of war and that the laws of theJJnited States, without interfer ing with the free expression of opinion and sympathy, "or with the open man ufacture cr sale of arms or munitions of war, nevertheless imposes .upon all persons who raay.be within their terri tory and jurisdiction the duty of an im partial neutrality during the existence of the contest, proclaims the provisions of the United States neutrality law, which law forbids the acceptance of a commission to serve either belligerent, or enlisting o"r firing or retaining an other person in the service of either; fitting out and arming, or commission ing vessels of war, increasing the force or armament of any armed vessel of either of the belligerents arriving in United SUtes ports, And setting on foot any military expedition against either belligerent. . The proclamation further declares the use of United States waters to prepare for hostile operations a violation of neutrality; that after February 15 there shall be a lapse only of 24 hours be tween the arrival and departure of war ships of the two belligerents from United States ports, and that no warships shall remain in any port over 24' hours, ex cept for necessary repair. Such ships shall not be permitted to take in any supplies except provisions anil so much coal as may be sufficient to carry the vessel to the nearest home port. The proclamation further declares the principles as to the rights of neutrals at sea contained in the treaty between the United States and Russia of 18G4 as permanent and immutable, as fol lows: "That free ships make free goods that is to say, that the effects of goods belonging to-subjects or citizens of power or State at war are free from cap ture and confiscation when found on board of neutral vessel, with the ex ception of articles of contraband o war: that the property of neutrals on board an enemy's vessels is not subject to confiscation, unless tbe same be con traband of war." The proclamation declares that no person within the United States shall take part in the war, and warns all citizens "that while tbe free and full expression of sympathies, in public and private, is not restricted by tbe laws of the United States military forces in aid of either belligerent cannot lawfully be organized within their jurisdiction; and that while all persons may lawfully and without restriction, by reason of the aforesaid state of war, manufacture and sell within the United States arms, munitions of war and other articles or dinarily known as 'contraband of war,' yet they cannot carry such articles upon the high seas for tbe use or ser vice of either belligerent. Nor can they transport soldiers and officers of either, or attempt to break any blockadewhicb may be lawfully established and main tained during the war, without incur ring the risk of hostile capture, and the penalties denounced by the law of nations in that behalf." ahorl Terms for Wilson lllob. Wilson, Feb. 11. As the result of a compromise agreed upon last night, the terms bf which were announced in court to-day, the alleged members of the mob which killed Insuranae Agent Jones here a year ago, in an effort to run him out of town, go to the State's prison for terms ranging from six to ten moffths. Tbe case was tried some months ago, but the jury failed to agree upon a verdict, add tbe matter had again come up for .adjustment, when counsel in the case agreed upon a com promise, the defendants to plead guilty of manslaughter. The killing of Jonee was a sensational affair. After bt-ing warned to leave town because of his a) leged association with a tailored woman, a number of men went to Jones' room late at night and made an .effort to drive him away, Jones opened fire on the intruders, severely wounding one of them, and himself received injuries from which he died some hours later. m .Tbe Death Penalty. A little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, ingigmn cant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Buck- Ion's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best salve on earth and will prevent fa tality, when burns, sores, ulcers and piles threaten. Only 25 cents, at all druggists. The Senate has confirmed the nomi nation of R. S.

Editor Times: The North Carolin ians, temporary residents of Manila, gave a banquet at the Bay View Hotel, Manila, P. I., Wednesday evening, December 23, 1903, preparatory to or ganizing a North Carolina society in the Philippine Islands. During the evening tvery.one imagined himself back in the Old North State? and again with "Tar Heels" good and true. A most elaborate collation was served from a handsomely appointed table daintly decorated. The banquet hall of Manila's finest hostelry was tastefully decorated with palms and ether tropical foliage, and over the entrance "hung" a wreath of roses with the words "North Carolina" suspended below. In the grounds was stationed an orchestra whiclr rendered sweet music during the entire evening. Capt. L. B. Alexander was toast master, and in a few well chosen words narrated some of the acts of bravery displayed by North Carolina's soldiers in time of war, and honors obtained by her civilians in time of peace. He declared that a "Tar Heel" could be relied upon always for the upbuilding of patriotism and citizenship. He then suggested a toast from A. J. Cassidy, E. C. Qudger, James Er Har veil and P. E. Strowd, who in turn, re sponded in a few appropriate words, after which Major Thad W. Jones pro posed the health of Gov. Aycock, wives, sweet-hearts, relatives and friends at home which toast was drunk with much enthusiasm; then the orchestra struck up with the Old North State Forever which was .greeted with three cheers and a tiger. A committee with James E. Harvell as chairman wis appointed to arrange for another meeting on February 22, when a permanent organization will be made. Among those present were. Major ThadJeus W. Jones, Lieut. Emmet C. Gudger, Capt. L. B. Alexander, A. J. Cassidy, P. E. Stroud, James E, Har vell, J. B. Barham, W. II. O. Smith, II. J. Welsh, S. F. Drake, E. W. Wil son, D. S.

Charlotte Observer, 12thg. 4 The war news this morning is in the main confined to details of the declara tions of neutrality and tq, additional information regarding the 'operations of the first twenty four hours of hos tilities. A dispatch from Tokio, how ever, asserts that it is reported there that the remainder of the Russian fleet, consisting of four battleships and three cruisers, was put out of action Wednesday by Japanese vessels which caught them outside the harbor of Port Arthur, and another dispatch says "the bombardment of Port Arthur contin ues. Whether or not these stories are accurate, it seems to be an accepted fact that the Russian fleet at Port Arthur has ceased to be regarded as a serious menace to Japan's operations in that vicinity. The assertion of tbe Japanese ambassador to London that tbe plans of his government were long ago matured appears to be borne out by the aggressive and speedy action of the attacking forces, for it is Btated that tbey attempted to land troops id the vicinity of Port Arthur, under cover of their naval guns, but were un successful. So far everything seems to be playing into the hands of the Japanese, and if their forces succeed in putting the Russian naval equip ment in the far East entirely out of commission, it would seem that tbe war were indeed a great deal more than half won. But Russia has many troops in that vicinity and the conflicts on land will doubtless be bloody. It is, however, inconceivable that without an adequate naval force at hand Russia could maintain an army bo far from home for any length of time. Her only dependence would be on the railroad, and that is hardly worth considering, as much as has been claimed for it as a military aid. DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?
