bate extending through the entire ses.

bill providing for joint statehood OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory under

the minority leader, declared that no
Republican had any idea that the bill
would become law at this session.

Doubassoff. whom he had originally
recommended, the emperor telegraph
ed Vice Admiral Skrydloff to proceed
to Port Arthur via St. Petersburg and
assume command of the fleet. It is
said that not even this fact was off,
cially communicated to Alexieff and
he was allowed to learn of it through
the press dispatches. Alexieff con-
sidered the matter for three days, at
the end Of which he is said to have
reached decision to apply for leave.
Cause of Enmity Unknown.
The cause of the enmity between
Alexieff and Skrydloff it is impossible
to learn. 1t is believed to be deeper
than a mere difference of opinion as to
the far Eastern policy.
Skrydloff has not hesitated in talk
ing to his friends to charge Alexieff
with responsibility for the disasters
to the Pacific squadron by his division
of the fleet, which segregated four ar
mored cruisers at Vladivostok and
stationed the Variag and kOrietz at
Chemulpo.
1t is said that Vice Admiral Skryd-
loft in his interview Tuesday let his
majesty understand that he does not
care to assume command of the fleet
until Alexieff has withdrawn. There
fore, the two men will not meet at
Port Arthur
Viceroy Alexief is expected to come
directly to st. Petersburg and his
friends hope that he will be elevated
to the council of the empire. BY his
withdrawal from the far East he will
not only lose the dignified position Of
direct representative of the emperor,
but the salary Of $4,000 and an al
lowance of $4,000 per annum.
When Alexieff sewers his connection
with the far Eastern question none of
the men responsible for the policy pur-
sued before the war will be in power,
M. Bezobrazoff having already lost the
confidence of his majesty and the ad-
visary committees duties at present
being purely perfunctory.
1t is not expected that a successor
to Viceroy Alexieff will be appointed,
as the Importance of the post of vice
roy has disappeared, owing to the re-
suit of the war.

SURROUNDING CITIES CALLED
UPON TO ASSIST IN SUBDu-
ING THE FLAMES.
SAID TO BE UNDER CONTROL
FIREMEN CLAIM THEY HAVE WON
THEIR LONG BATTLE WITH
THE GREAT FIRE.

Toronto, Ont, April 20.-Fire swept
through section of Toronto's whole
sale district last night, causing loss
which will reach up to $10,000,0O0. The
fire started in a factory in Wellington
street about 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 a
mass of flames and the fire was utterly
beyond control of the local depart
ment. Appeals were sent to every sur
rounding 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 sudden
SHIFT in the wind again tanned the
flames into roar and clouds of
sparks and burning brands were car
r1ed down side streets until three en-
tire blocks were doomed.
Fire Chief Thompson and George
Dowkes of Montreal were cut off by
the flames while directing the work
of firemen from a roof. Thompson
jumped six stories to the ground and
miraculously escaped with a broken
leg. mass of tangled wires broke
his fall near the ground. Dowkes has
not been seen since and it is believed
he persisted.
From the Currie warehouse on Well
ington street, where it originated, the
fire spread with astounding rapidity
to the west, destroying several build
ings and then made a clean sweep up
N cfr tn f11
Flames Stopped at Hotel.
The thick walls of the hotel and the
concentrated efforts Of the fire fight
ers stopped the flames there, but in
the meantime the fire had swept across
the street and the block of buildings
from Bay street west to the National
club was wiped out.
At that time the firemen believed
the fire was under control but shift
in the wind sent the flames roaring
down Bay street, destroying every
building on both sides of the street
from the National club to Front street.
Nothing could resist the force of the
flames as they swept down Bay street
toward the lake and the firemen fought
back the fire from side streets, con-
lining the fire zone to the one thor
| oughfare wherever possible.
Several frame buildings which
threatened to cause a spread of the
fire were blown up with dynamite.
At 1870 Wednesday morning Bay
street was on fire from Wellington
street down to the lake front, but the
firemen were meeting with success in
their efforts to prevent a further
spread and it is believed the fire will
burn itself out there.
At 3:15 a. m. the fire was still burn
ing fiercely in the two blocks between
wellington street on the north and the
water front, bounded on the west by
Yonge street and on the east by Bay
street. The firemen have arrived from
London, Hamilton and Buffalo. The
acting fire chief said at that hour that
the fire was practically under control,
but there is still danger of it's spread
ing further to the west The total
loss is estimated at over $40, 900. 900.

BREAK IN MAY CORN.
Armour Sells and Price of the Cereal
Goes Down.

Armour Sells and Price OF the Cereal
Goes Down.
Chicago, April 20.-May corn had a
savage break of 2A cents on change
Tuesday, with Armour an open seller.
The general impression was that the
big line held by that house has been
quietly liquidated during the past two
weeks and that the deal is practically
over. The Armour selling began
shortly before noon and for an hour
the pit was in a turmoil, anxious longs
dumping their lines, fighting to get
rid of their corn before the bottom
went out of the market. One repre-
sentative Of the Armour company sold
personally fully 100000 bushels of
May.
The Armour line originally was gen.
orally estimated as high as 100000
bushels and it was accumulated most
ly between AZ and So. The closing
price Tuesday for May was 49A, just
~ under the final figures of Monday.

win be nominated for the presidency at
81. Louis next week In the former fore.
cast Congressman Haskils Is pretty GER
tain to be right, as the indications already
thrown out lead one to believe that the
Democrats have no real issue on which to
wage a presidential campaign, consequent
~ they must come down to the personal
side, and, by personal side, we mean at
tack on Rooseveltis characteristics. That
attack may be said to have begun then al
ready, when such charges as that Roose-
yelt is an unsafe candidate are made. 1t
isthat the campaign against Roosevelt will
be personal one because It viii have to
be. Congressman Haskins is right on
that, But there is room for disagreement
on bis second prediction that Cleveland
win be the Democratic candidate for the
presidency True it is that a section Of
the party, styled as the conservative sec
ton, Of which Cleveland is elassedis gain
ing strength as every day passes, while
