Tho continued large borrowings by railroads is viewed with disfavor by operators in stocks and the declining tendency of railroad earnings adds to this feeling. The assurance that the borrowed money will find its way into expenditures for materials has been a sustaining influence upon stocks of some companies which supply such materials, including United States Steel.

A signal proof that Baltimore is gradually re suming its normal condition was strik ingly illustrated today by the circum-j stance that all the banks were opened in their temporary quarters at the usual banking hours, well sup plied with funds. Hundreds of de positors were at the banks early to day, and all checks presented were promptly cashed. On next Monday the regular clearing will begin and the general banking operations will be resumed. The vaults of all the National banks in Baltimore have now been opened and in each the contents were found to be absolutely not dam aged in any respect whatever. Several insurance claims were paid today, and leading agents here say that at least S10,000,000 has already been paid out, and that many millions incheclahave been received here and are now on deposit, ready to be paid out after some partial adjustr ments have been made. Squads of laborers from the Street- cleaning Department started into the burned district today, and the work of pulling down walls, removing de bris and digging out safes wa3 quick ly resumed. At a conference held today between the Mayor and the citizens' commit tee, it was decided that no call would be made for outside assistance to re-! lieve the distressed situation caused by the fire. If it is found necessary later on, the municipality will float a loan to meet all needs. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. CHEFOO.Feb. 14 A steamer arriving here from Port Arthur reports that heavy firing was heard in the Straits of Fe Chili at midnight. London, Feb. I4 A report originating with a Ja panese firm having correspondents in Tokio was circu lated in London tonight to the effect that three Rus sian cruisers, presumably the Vladivostok squadron, had been torpedoed in the Straits of Sugaro yesterday. The Japanese Legation had heard nothing con firmatory of this report, although it has come to it from several sources. The Legation officials received the report with reserve, it being considered "too good to be true." The Japanese have a strong naval base at Kotomari, at the northern end of Nippon, and on the south side of the straits, and it is considered possi ble, should the Vladivostok squadron attempt to harass the coast about Hakodate, that they will be met by torpedo boats from Kotomari. The Straits of the Sugaro are between the Island Hokkaido, the northern of the three Japanese islands, and Nippon. The central Hakodate is on the north ern side of the strait.

The most important business transacted was fixing the time, place and representation in the coming state convention. It was decided to hold the conven tion in Portland on Thursday, April 14th, this assemblage to include 301 members or delegates representing the counties of the state. It is also recommended in the call issued there-' fore that primaries be held in the voting precincts on Saturday, April 2nd. and county conventions on - Thursday, April 7th. St. Petersburg, Feb. r4 An official telegram reaching here from Port Arthur dated February 13 says the lights of the enemy's ships were seen off In kau on the evening of FebrfiawH. It says further that advices reached Port Arthur euruary 12 mat bi.x Japanese battleships had appeared in the roadstead of Tatungkiug, on the estuary of the Yalu River, aud op posite the Korean Port of Wiju, and that the booming of cannon had been heard. WENT TO DEATH BRAVELY. Nagasaki, Feb. 14. The survivors from the Var- iag and the Korietz, the Russian, cruisers that were sunk by the Japanese fleet at Chemulpo last Tuesday still remain on board the British cruiser Talbot, the Italian cruiser Elba aud the French cruiser Pascal. The situation is becoming acute, as the Japanese. have twice made demands on the Commanders of the three foreign vessels that the Russians be surren dered as prisoners of war. The Captain of the Talbot, being the senior naval officer, each time replied that he was awaiting instructions from his government. None of the Russians are on board the American gnnboat Vicksburg, whose commander considers that the Japanese arc right in their demand, as the Rus sians took advantage of the clemency of the Japanese in returning to the harbor, then taking refuge on the foreign vessels and refusing to surrender, whereas the Japanese fleet refrained from sinking them in the open sea, as it could have done. A magnificent episode in the battle was the sec- ond sortie of the two Russian cruisers, vvitn Danas playing the national anthem the international fleet loudly cheering the bravery and gallantry of the Rus sians, the Variag and Korietz faced the Japanese fleet in what was certain death. Tho position of tho wrecks appears to be such that it will be easy to recover the guns. The Rus sian losses were one officer and 40 men killed and 464 wounded. Helena, Mont., Feb. 12. Frank Jones, a notorious outlaw, was shot and killed by two members of a Sher iff's posse last evening at the ranch of A. N. Tande, north of Poplar, in the northeastern part of the state. Jone3 was the leader of a gang of desperadoes who for ten years have terrorized the cattlemen and stock men of that valley county. Their headquarters were near Bunch Wil low, in a wild and difficult county, near the international boundary line. Their raids on ranches were frequent and daring, and they earned away thousands of head cf stock, burned ranch buildings and Jettroyed other property. Last December the gang kidnaped j a witness named King, who was to ap pear against one of then, and held him a prisoner for two weeks. After the time set for the trial he wa3 turned adrift on the prairie without food and with only a blanket for clothing. ' In January a Constable of Culbert son, Nicholas Moore, arrested Jack Trailer, one of the gang, near the boundary line. The officer was bring ing his prisoner to Gilbertson when Jones swooped down upon him, res- ! cued the prisoner, set the horses free, took Moore's clothing ami left him on the plain. For two weeks a posse has been in pursuit of Jones. Last evening John Moran and George Bird, two mem bers of the pursuing party, found Jones in the Trande ranch home eat ing his supper. Bird leveled hi3 rifle I at him and commanded him to sur I render. As Jones turned, Moran also covered him with a revolver, Jones, with a cry tnat he would never sur- j render, reached for his weapon, but he was shot by both officers before he could draw his gun. The body waa brought to Poplar. and taken thence to Glasgow, the I coanty seat of Valley Coenty. Jooes 1 I lived six hoars after he was shot, bat refused to give the names of any I other members of his gang. The suite ottered a reward or $uu I and tae coeaty 51G00 for Jooes, dead or afive.
