FIRE RAGING

LOSS ESTIMATED AT s1O,OOO,OOO

Toronto. Ont, April 2O.-Fire swept
through a section of Toronto's whole
sale business district last night, caus.
ing a loss estimated at s1O,000,000. The
DIRE started in a factory in wellington
street about 9 o'clock. In less than
IN hour the flames had spread from
building to building on both sides of
the street. until the whole block was
q mass Of flames and the fire was ut
GeFly 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.
II was believed at IL o'clock that
the fire was under control, but sud-
den shift in the wind again famed
the flames into a roar, and clouds of
sparks and burning brands were car
Fied 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 fremen were making a gallant
dght amid the falling buildings and
mass Of tangled wires, but their efforts
seemed to be fruitless.
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
2 roof. Thompson jumped six stories
TO the ground and miraculously es-
capped with a broken leg. A mass of
tangled wires broke his fall to the
ground Dowkes has not been seen
since, and it is believed that he per
lshed.

HONOR FOR THEIR CHIEF
National Guard Officers Welcome
Adj. Gen. Libby.
Second Regiment Band Gives an
Evening Serenade.
General, With Other Officers Came
to See Shooting.

For several days last week and this
New Ulm was the military center of the
state. Not only was the Seventh Bat
talon of artillery here and General
Bobleter with his staff, and Company
A, but Adjutant General Libby, COM
handing the Minnesota National
Guards, Major Lambert, commanding
the battalion of National Guard artil-
lery, We're also in the city.
The visit of these three last named
officers was distinction which New
Ulm has enjoyed only few times.
They came down to visit the camp of
regular army artillery and to witness
the shooting, and while here, from
Friday afternoon until Monday morn
ing, were the guests of General Joseph
Bobleter.
Honors fitting distinguished guests
were shown them. Friday evening
they We're entertained at Burg's bowl
ing allies by General Bobleter and his
staff and the officers of the Seventh
Battalion, and while there the Second
Regiment band took up position in
front of the saloon and gave a sere-
made.
The visitors and the others came out
to the sidewalk and after the concert
General Libby addressed few words
ofappreciation to the band, which we're
met with applause.
Friday afternoon the three National
Guard officers with their hosts paid
their respects to the officers of the
Seventh in camp. Saturday they wit
messed the shooting and participated
in the corn Smelling festivities, and in
the evening attended the reception and
dance at Turner theater.
General Libby is a genial man with
soldierly appearance. This, he says,
is the third or fourth time he has been
to New Ulm, but such is the brand of
hospitality in this city that he is only
sorry that he cannot come oftener; it
makes him feel young again.
General Libby has been adjutant
general of the Minnesota guards for
twenty years.
