Three Killed Ry Train.

Allentown, Pa, April Is. = George
Clauser, aged 40; Edith NJ Metzler,
aged 10, and Stella Knauss, aged IL,
were struck and instantly killed by
a Reading Railway passenger train
near their home near Macungie. Miss
Metzler's sister, Annie, saved her life
by jumping aside. The party had at
tended a church service in Macungie,
and were taking a short cut home by
walking on the railroad track. The
noise of passing freight train pre-
vented them hearing the approaching
passenger train. The latter's crew
did not know of the accident until the
train reached Allentown, when they
saw blood on the engine. Clauser was
widower with three children.

The NEws-LEADER thinks that for a
colored man and white woman to ride
on the street-cars together will result
IN the amalgamation of the races. We
do not believe anything of the sort and
have never made any such intimation
IN the columns of this journal. The
writer Of the article, Negroes and
Street cars" in its issue of April Goth
has made great blunder and the blind

FIRE RAGING
In TORONTO
Business Section Of City in Flames
and Fire Beyond Control
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $4,000. 600

Toronto. Ont. April 20.-Fire swept
through a section of Toronto's whole
sale business district last night. caus-
Ing loss estimated at $4,000 900. The
fire started in factory in Wellington
street about 8 o'clock. In less than
an hour the flames had spread from
building to building on both sides of
the street. until the whole block was
mass of flames and the fire was ut
terly beyond control of the local de-
partment. Appeals were sent to every
surrounding city where fire apparatus
could be obtained, asking for assist
ance. Montreal, London, Hamilton and
Buffalo at once responded.
1t was believed at II o'clock that
the fire was under control. but a sud-
| den shift in the wind again famed
the flames into a roar. and clouds OF
sparks and burning brands were car
rfed down side streets until three en-
tire blocks were doomed.
The entire lower portion of Bay
street to the lake front now seems
! doomed. The wholesale houses of
Wild, Darling & Co., Gordon, Mckay
e Co. and other large buildings have
/ been destroyed.
The firemen were making a gallant
fight amid the falling buildings and a
mass of tangled wires, but their efforts
seemed to be fruitIess.
Chief Thompson, of the fire depart
ment, and George Dowkes, of Mon
treal, were cut off by the flames while
directing the work of the firemen from
-
to the ground and miraculously es-
capped with a broken leg. A mass OF
tangled wires broke his fail to the
ground. Dowkes has not been seen
since, and it is believed that he per-

that they misjudged the temper and
purpose OF the Japanese and left the
emperor in ignorance OF the prepare

ing and the rising war spirit OF that
empire.
The enemies of Alexieff have per
sistently asserted that as the man on
the spot, he should have kept the en-
peror informed concerning these vital
points.
Viceroy Alexieff recommended the
appointment OF either Vice Admiral
Deubassoff OF Vice Admiral Makaroff
to command the feet in succession to
Vice Admiral Stark. The emperor Sc

This was the first blow publicly
given to Alexieff. The second was the
appointment OF General Kuropatkin as
eommander-in- chief of the army in
Manchuria. Kuropatkin sided with
Count Lamsdorff, the foreign minister,
and M. Witte against the policy of
Manchurian annexation, and stated to
the Chinese minister to Russia, Mr..
Hoo Wei Teh, that the whole trouble
originated with Alexieff. That there
might be no doubt of Kuropatkin's ex-

other ukase defining it, and gave the
