In consequence of this: his im- perial majesty has hefn pleased to that the Russian 'minister at W Lai whole of the imperial mission, shall leave the capital of Ja- pan withoyt delay. "Such an attitude on the part of the Tokio government, which has not even awaited the arrival of the ans- wer of the imperial povernment, whish was simt off during the last few davs, throws the whole responsibility for the consequences which mav arise from a rupture of diplomatic negotiations be- tween the two empires, on Japan."

Count Lamsdorfi while pro- mising to make a response as early as possible, has not been able to indi- cate when the response could be trans- mitted to the Javanese rovernment, The Japanese sovernment having aw- aited on its part, the Russian answer for over three weeks, and havine been, moreover informed, that Russia was making active prenarations for war, and was concentratine her troops and her naval forces towards Corea, it is under the necessity of breaking ite necotiations\ with Russia. and with resuming ite) liberty of action."

The experiments were confined to injections under the skin. The results ~are not ready for report 5 The following Summarizes the pros ent publication of the results of nine cultures from cattle and swine : Eight produced general tuberculosis when transferred to other cattle, whil* from forty-one pr arations from human subjects only four caused tuberculosis in eattle. -A noteworthy fact is that these four were from children ranging from three and one-half to six and one-half years of age The experiments are regarded as confirming Prof. Koeh's assertion that instances of the e@mmunication of con tagion from animls to man are most rare and have slight importance in the spreading of tubafeulosis.

Fire Department Utterly Power- leés--Outside Aid Useless-- Are Dynamiting Buildings at Threatened Points--Heat Too Great For Firemen, Raltimore, Md, Feb. 7.--A fire which broke out a few minutes before eleven. o'clock this morning, in the wholesale dry goods house of ° John E. Hurst & Co., has raged with un. restrained fury continuously ever since, and at midnight it sis still un- checked, but is steadily eating its ccn- suming way bastward on Baltimore street, after having destroyed almost all the large stores and warchouses in the wholesale distriet around Hop- kins" place, and all the buildisgs on both rides of Baliimore street, from Howard to Holliddy street from Charles' and Baltimore, to Charles and Lexington, ard on Fayette street, from Charles to Holliday, including a total of about twenty blocks of the most modern and substantial build. ings in Baltimore, involving a loss which *eannat now be estimated, hut which has certainly already reachad thirty or forty million dollars.

At seven o'clock the situation was so hopeless, so far as effective work by the firemen was concerned, that Chief Morton decided that the «nly thing left to do was to dynamite buildings at threatened points, and thus prevent as far as possible a fur- ther spread of the flames. In pur suonce of this plan, a number of buildings on South Charles street, German and Lombard, were blown up.

By eight o'- clock the occupants of the Daily Her street, gid of the Record building, op- posite, were compelled to vacate as were the occupants of the Calvert and Equitable structures, two of the md massive office buildings in Baltimore. Down Baltimore street the flames swept, consuming everything speedily, reaching the Fvening News bulldiny from which a number of extras had heen issued during the preceding hours but from which the employees had to flee, though not until valuable records had been removed, Shortly af ter the Continental Trust company's fourteen storey building took fire: A block below the Americen newspaper building was so enveloped in clouds of sparks and burning splinters that the employees had to flee, 20 at this hour, it is certain that the Herald and Am- erican will not get out issues to-mor- row.
