France " adopted j the rtxluiary principle of the Amcrlcun Constitution. -which makes Parliament ! the sole body cupnblo of declaring war. 1 i At the present time the French Pnrlla ) ment Is sutniRly'mndc up of Socialists, I! j and one of their cardinal principles Is j disarmament, arbitration and the avold- anco of warfare. This clement holds the balance of power In the French Parlia ment, aiu1 It Hands, therefore, aa a dls- tlnct assurance against, a Parliamentary declaration of war. j Probably the beftt outward evidence I that France has no expectation of be coming Involvail In the far East Is that , , mly one French warship has been sent there, and that not a single additional soldier has been ordered to the extreme I Orient. As to the probable course of the other powers toward the bel!Igernt!'. the As 1 soclated" Press has been Informed by F the highest German authority In France i that Germany will maintain an atti tude of neutrality. Although her ym J pathles lean toward Russia, she has no j Intention of aiding- Russia materially, I ( for shi believes that Russia will bo vlc- torlous. As Germany's Interests are not meraced. she will pimply be a spectator; i j but If anything should be done which I Germany might consider n affecting her, she will be prepared to act. It Is i ' said that Germany has no intention of i seizing Shantung, and It Is declared to 1 I I be ridiculous that she proposes to oc- i cupy any points In Denmark. j Austria, it Is- believed, will follow the course of Germany, because of the Triple Alliance, and from her neighborly , Interests with Russia, particularly In the Balkans Ttaly Is expected to main tain practically the same position as her associates In the Triple Alliance, al though since the agitation resulting in , Hie Czar's cancelling his trip to Rome, there has been a notable lack of cnthu- I Plasm 111 Ttnlv fnr r?iissln II j The Balkans are considered the dnn- 1 ger epot of Europe. As a result of the , ircoccupntlon of Russia In the far East, R it is known here that she has been care- H I ful not to draw upon her troops In Eu- 1 J ropean Russia to any great extent for I ftrvlce in Manchuria, because of the I ' prospect that Turkey and Bulgaria will I j engage in war during the spring. I Austria will bear the burden. In the I , greater degree, of preserving peace in I j Europe. In this, however, she will be ' earnestly supported by France nnd Great Britain and, it is hoped, by Ger- l many and Ttaly. , j MEDIATION SUGGESTED. I At noon he received M. Motono. who ;' brought the lengthy olliclal nnnounce- ' ; i ment from the Toklo Government that r I i a decisive step had been taken in breaking off relations. M. . Motono ex- ' j pressed the view that this was not the result of Russia's last arrangement, which, In fact, had not been received 1 by Japan when this determination had I" I been reached, but. on the contrary, the I breaking off of relations was due solely ' ' ' lo Russia's procrastination and her i concentration of military nnd naval i forces toward Korea. No further effort lk. il was made to disguise the seriousness of the situation and M. Motono himself I rtado public the declaration of his Gov- I "rnment that relations had been sev- "'rod. ' ' There Is reason to believe that the ' J , French authorities will give consldem- , ( (ion to the idea of mediation, but it Is raid that such action would be difficult, j In view of the recent declaration of Japan that she would not accept In tervention of any kind, as the question J watf One tn bp reirulatod hitwe-ii hnr- I; elf and Ruseia. Nevertheless, it Is ex pected that France wljl approach '. Great Britain with the view of that power making representations to Japan, I Ahlle she at the same time will make , i crpresentatloni? to Russia, In order to i Trevent an outbreak of hostilities. ItIs .idmltted. however, that a long step has i , already been taken toward war by Japan'; having broken olT relations. In the opinion of officials and diplomatists here, there FtiH Is a slight chance of, j verting hostilities, and this chnnce will i be seized. 1 The Japanese Legation here has been j the center of much excitement since this mori.lng. nnd throughout the day It was besieged with telegrams from dlp omntle corps, eager to obtain copies of ( Japan's- ofilcJal statement in order to otify their respective Government. ( When the representative of the Asso- Iated Press colled at the Legation to J r ight, a member of the British Embassy 1" v. as Just leaving. I. j The Blue Point Cigars 1 j J Are sold by all dealers.

Lnmsdorff expressed surprise and re gret at this hasty resolve of the Mi kado's Government. M. Kurlno re ceived his passports and. after consult ing with Sir C. S. Scott, the British Embassador here, returned to his Le gation, where the preparations for his departure had already commenced. Another version of the situation at the time M. Kurinc notllled Count Lanjsdorff of the course his Govern ment had elected to pursue Is that the Russian reply w?s not In the possession of Baron de Rosen, but in tho tolegrnph ofllco here awaiting transmission, and that It was withdrawn before being dis patched. Upon the disclosure of Japan's position the Russian authorities met the situa tion with great promptness. Instruc tions recnllln Huron do Rosen were forthwith telegraphed', "and lie' was di rected to leave Toklo immediately. Count Lamsdroff's official circular to the Russian representatives abroad, in structing them to Inform the Govern ment of the countries to which they were accredited of Japan's notion, was then prepared. This circular was .printed In the Official Messenger at 5 o'clock this morning. With war Imminent, orders have been given for a rigid censorship over all In formation relating lo naval and military movements. Preparations were also made for the Czar's journey to the ancient capital. Moscow, where he goes in accordance with the traditional cus tom of his forefathers, to invoke divine guidance. While the Imperial train Is passing to Moscow troops will line every foot of- the way. JAPS PACK THEIR TREASURES. When the representative of the Asso ciated Press called at the Japanese Le gation this morning he, found a. scene of great confusion. During the night. as if by magic, all the Japanese art treasures, bronzes and Ivories had dis annenred. nnl the srmelous salons were bare. Servants and attaches, who had been working all night, were still busily packing papers and archives. M. Ku rlno entered the salon with his habitual quick and nervous step. His bloodshot eyes gave evidence that he had been a stranger to aleep, but he displayed the impassive characteristics of his race and was without a trace of excitement. There was an air of firm resolution about him, however, which was the only noticeable change In his demeanor. Throughout the strain which has just passed the attitude of the Japanese .minister nas ueen sincuy curret-i. has been on good terms personally with Count Lamsdorff and the other Rus sian officials. Today, as Is customary with him, ho was extremely reticent and declined to offer an explanation of the course of Japan, saying the authorities at Toklo would doubtless give the world their side of the story- He ventured, however, to point out that the Irrita tion created by the delay In the Russian response, postponed from day to day, together with forecasts of what It con tained, might have convinced his Gov ernment that It was futile to proceed further with diplomacy. As M. Kurlno looked out of a window at the legation which faces the River Neva, not far from the winter palace, he saw a battalion of the Russian Im perial guard, clad to the heels in big overcoats and their guns slung over their backs. He showed no emotion at the sight. He said, rather sadly, that the rupture of diplomatic relations did not necessarily mean war. AMERICAN MINISTER CALLS. uimeu amies imuassauor jicijor mick was one of M. Kurlno's first call ers this morning and later In the day other diplomats, among whom the Min ister is popular, came to express to him their regrets at the turn affairs had taken. In the afternoon M. Kurlno and his wife made a number of hurried farewell calls, including one at the American Embassy. Four cars are ready at the Warsaw station for the Minister anil the lega tion staff. M. Kurlno will leave at the earliest possible moment, but he prob ably will not be able to get away before Wednesday. The current business of the Japanese legation, it is believed, will be turned over to the British Em bassy, although It wus only thought possible, In view of the fact that Great Britain as Japan's ally, might be drawn Into the quarrel, that Mr. McCormlck might take charge. Mr: McCormlck, however, has received no Instructions on this point. It Is possible that the Czar may personally undertake the pro tection of the Japanese In Russia, ns Nicholas I. did In the cose of the Eng lish during the Crimean war. Amid the crop of stories afloat here today there are some of the wildest ! f i zzZw IjiOj ho first nal battle ir. the coming war will, in all likelihood, ho EcwSJm- icuglit m the sea of Japan, between tho Bussian fleet that is reported to TiL i tY 0 saned a fcw days aS from Vladivostock, and tho ships of the Mika- HHKi. V reported in battle array off the cast crnst of Korea, TWO NEGROES BURNED AT STAKE BY A MOB Terrible Vengeance Wreaked Upon Negro Murderer and His Wife in a Misgissippi Town Closing Scene of a Tragedy that Cost Eight Lives. ' i i Doddsvllle, Miss., Feb. 7. Luther Holbert and his wife, negroes, were burned at the .stake here today by ia mob of over 10(H) persons for, the killing of James? Eastland, a prominent white planter, and John Carr, n negro,, on Wednesday at the Eastland plantation, two miles from this city. The burning of Holbert nnd his wife closes a trrfgedy which has cost eight lives, has engaged 200 men nnd two packs of bloodhounds In a four days' chase across four counties nnd has stirred this section of Mississippi al most to frcn-zy. Following are the dead: Luther Hol bert and wife, negroes, burned at the stake by mob; James Eastland, white, planter, killed by Holbert: John Win ters, negro, killed by Eastland; three unknown negroes, killed by posses. The killing of Eastland, .Carr and Winters occurred Wednesday at East land's plantation. Holbert and Win ters were In Carr's cabin, whon East land entered and ordered Holbert lo leave the plantation. A dllllculty ensued. In which It Is al leged that Holbert opened (lr on East Innd, fatally wounding him nnd killing Carr. Eastland returned the Are and killed Winters. When the news of the tragedy reached Doddsvllle a posse was formed and left Immediately for Eastland's plantation. Arriving there, further shooting occurred, and an unknown ne gro was Tillled. Holbert and his wife. character, as. for example, that a naval battle has already been fought and a Japanese fleet sank. Another story, which Is repeated clearly and circum stantlnlly. Is that while the Japaneso Government did not wait for the oflJ clal presentation of the Russian re sponse, the aontents of It were commu nicated privately to M. Kurino, who telegraphed It to his Government. This, the Associated Press has been authori tatively Informed, Is not true. THE ANSWER OF RUSSIA. When Count Lamsdorff Informed M. Kurlno on Thursday night that the re sponse had gone to Viceroy Alexleff he did not give him a copy of It, but It Is understood that he made known In a general way the Russian position. Rus sia, while making concessions, declined to yield on the four following points: First Japan's right to nsk for a treaty covering the sovereignty of Man churia. Second She Insisted upon mutual rec ognition of the Independence of Korea. Third That there should be no forti fication of southern Korea which might threaten Russian communication with Port Arthur and Vladivostock. Fourth She declined to meet Jnpan's wishes with regard to a neutral zone on both sides of the Yalu river. The news of the breaking off of diplo matic relations between Russia and Ja pan was spread far and wide through out the capital by extra bulletins of tho Novoe Vremya and other papers. Much excitement was created and this result ed In patriotic demonstrations. At the performance of Tellnka's he roic opera, "Life for the Czar," at the Marie theater the enormoua building was packed from floor to celling, nnd many military ofllcers were present. When the peasant Sousaln, who In the play comes to save the Cxar's life, sang the national ode, "God Save the Czar From His Enemies," the emotional Russian character was stilled by the solemnity of the occasion, but when the curtnln was rung down the audience burst Into vociferous applrtuse. The Bourse Gazette halls the break ing of relations because It terminates the suspense, and declares that the en tire nation will respond to the Imperial call. It Is the general opinion of military men here that Japan will immediately land troops In Korea, whence will come the first news of fighting unlesa there should be an accidental encounter at sea. Tho Associated Press was informed at a late hour tonight that the order for the Imperial train to take the Czar to Moscow had been countermanded nnd that tho dato of hlB majesty's departure is uncertain.

The chase, which was begun Wednes day morning, wns continued until last night, when Holbert nnd his wife, worn out from traveling over 100 miles on foot, through canebrnkes nnd swamps, were found asleep In a heavy belt of timber three miles east of Shepards town and captured by a posse without a shot being fired. The two negroes wero brought to Doddsvllle and this afternoon -were burned at the stake by a mob almost In the shadow of the negro church hero. Yesterday two negroes were killed by a posse near Belzonl, Yazoo county. One of the negroes bore n striking re semblance to Holbert und was mistaken for him by members of the posse. He was called on lo surrender, but instead of doing so showed fight, and both ne groes were shot down by poF3cmen, ns Holbert had sworn he would not be taken alive and was known to be heav ily armed. Eastland wns a member of a wealthy Mississippi family, and a reward of $1200 was offered byrelatlves for the capture of his slayer. Two brothers of Eastland participated In the chase and capture of the Ilolborls, and both were present when Holbert and his wife wore burned. The lC-yenr-old son of Holbert, who was captured Friday night and held on suspicion of complicity In tho killing of Eastland, wns given his freedom, his Innocence being established.

It Is said tho name of the theater will be changed to tho Northwest. TIDAL WAVE OF FLAME (Continued from Pago 1.) big warehouses, and flames were speed ily eating their wuy Into successive blocks north, west and south. On Baltimore street the block between Liberty and Sharp streets was soon ablaze. Then came the next block enst to Hanover, and after that the block on the south side to Charles street broke out Into finmes, the Consolidated Gas company's building and Oohm's hall burning fiercely. A SEA OF FLAMES. Meanwhile stores north of Baltimore street were being similarly consumed. Mullln's hotel was Ignited, and other buildings near It. West of Liberty street, on the south nlde of Baltimore, the block was doomed, and the big Bal timore bargain house was also at tacked. In Hopkins place, where the fire started. Hurst's building and other wholesale houses on both sides of the street crumbled and fell. The big dry goods houses of Daniel Miller & Sons and M. A. Sutton & Co. were soon nilame, nnd along German street cast and west from the Hurst building a dozen buildings were burn ing and scores more threatened. Mass &. Kemper's big wholesale store on Baltimore street quickly succumbed to me names, and the walls fell with a crash that was heard for squares. The Hurst building was utterly destroyed, not oven a wall ten feet high being left standing, nnd w.u apparently the center of the caldron, from whence the flames radiated over the doomed neighbor hood. In Hopklno place, the Hopkins Sav ings bank and the National Exchange bank were gutted by flames, tho few streams of wnter that the firemen were able to turn on them proving utterly In effectual to even halt the destruction. Here, across the street, were the ruins of John E. Hurst & Co.'s building, and next to it S. Hecht, Jr., & Son's block was In flames. Adjoining was the large building owned by the William Koch Importing company, which was also quickly destroyed. Across the street the Stanley & Brown Drug compnny building was soon In ruins. Fronting on the Balti more street side of this block were the Roxbury Rye Distilling company, the building occupied by Sllberman & Todes, the house of Allen Sons & Co., which has hardly been completed, and, next to It, the establishment of M. Moses & Co. On the corner wns the building occupied by Messrs. Sugar & Shear, and several other smaller mn- cerns. All of these were swallowed up In flames, the whole square being a mass of fire. MULLIN'S HOTEL GOES. At 1:30 o'clock Mullln's hotel, a seven story structure nt Liberty and Balti more streets, was In (lames from garret to cellar, and Its great height and nar rowness converted the doomed building into a huge and dreadful torch. All the guests of the hotel had been ordered out of the building shortly after the fire broke out In John E. Hurst's place. There was no panic or confusion, and none was Injured Though every bit of fire-fighting ap paratus In tho city was called Into requisition as the flames continued to spread, the firemen realized that they had a task before them which was too great for them to combat. Telegrams for fire-engines were snt to Washing ton and Philadelphia, and about 1 o'clock six engines arrived from Wash ington and four from Philadelphia and Joined In the battle with the fiaines. Engines from stations In Baltimore, Howard, Anne Arundel nnd Hartford counties also arrived as soon as pos sible, some of the apparatus traveling a distance of thirty miles and more. Water-plugs In every section within a radius of hulf a mile from the fire were In use, and It is roughly estimated that 330 hose were playing at ono time upon different parts of the fire. Owing to the great congestion of fire apparatus, the crowds of people and tho general confusion muny of tho engines from out of town Were unable to find a place where they will be of any service. The area bounded by German, Llb l orty. Sharp and Baltimore! streets was early found to be doomed, nnd tho fire men turned their attention to saving the buildings on Baltimore street- east of Sharp. The fire was beyond their control and the flames ran from ono building, to an other In spite bf the fact that the fire men had done their best to check tho progress of the flUmcs by soaking the structures with wnter. Cinders Ignited the roof of the Front Street thenter, half a mile away, and for a time It looked as though that structure would be destroyed. The blaze was extinguished by fire men and citizens. ALARM IN HOSPITAL. Much alarm was felt nt tho city hos pital when the rnln of cinders was at Its fiercest. The Sisters of Mercy In charge of the institution were nil at their posts, and an effort was made to keep tho fact of the fire a secret from the patients. A few cinders fell on the roof of the hos pital, but wero extinguished by the physlcans of the house staff. Eighteen women, two babies and seven nurses were taken from the ma ternity hospital on West Lombard street In police ambulances and given quarters at the city hospital. WHISKY EXPLODES WITH ROAR. At 3 o'clock a tremendous explosion of 150 barrels of whisky stored In the upper floors of 21 Hanover street hurled tons of burning matter across the street onto the roofs of the buildings opposite, which tho firemen were drenching with water In a vain hope to make Han over street the eastern boundary line of the fire. The llamcs quivered for a moment under the water, but soon ate Into the buildings on the east side. A fire engine wns burled by a falling wall, the firemen fleeing for their lives. The whole city wns notified of the fire by a terrific explosion some minutes after 11 o'clock. A sharp, splitting roar went up with reverberating thunder. This wns followed by a peculiar whist ling noise, like that made by the shrill wind. The churches In the central sec tion of the city were filled with wor shipers, many of whom became fright ened, and though no paiilc ensued hun dreds of men and women left their seats nnd went outside to see what had hap pened. In a few moments the streets all over the city were'erowded with ex cited people. Another deafening crash occurred and dense columns of cinders nnd smoke shot up over the central sec tion of the city and In a huge brown column moved rapidly toward the northeast. Borne on the strong south east wind the column of smoke, blazing cinders nnd even pieces of tin roofing spread over the center of the city and, a rain of cinders fell, compelling pedes trians to dodge the coals. Two more explosions followed, and thousands of people hurried to the scene of the fire. Pieces of tin CxS feet square were lifted Into the air by the terrific heat, sailed upward like paper kites, and when they reached a point beyond the zone of the most Intense heat fell fluttering to the street. Crnsh after crash within the burning district, but even the firemen could not tell from what building they proceeded. Walls and flooring fell In thunderous roars that echoed for blocks away. Hundreds of merchants and business men with offices In the threatened dis trict were notified by watchmen and police. Nearly nil took steps to have their books removed to a place of safe ty. Hundreds of men and boys were engaged to move the books. PARTIAL LIST OF BUILDINGS.
