Toronto. April 2e.-The total loss by
fire which destroyed the wholesale dis
trict Of Toronto last night will, accord
ing to the most conservative estimates,
reach $12 00D, 900; the total INSURANCE
is $3.50. 600. The area swept by the fire
embraced fourteen acres and from five
thousand to seven thousand persons are
thrown out OF employment. The work
of tearing down the dangerous walls
was begun this afternoon
In the whole burned district, the only
walls that appear to stand intact are
those of the w. r. Brock & Co. build
ing. The city council this afternoon
placed all public buildings and the
exhibition grounds at the disposal of
the fire sufferers; amended the fire
regulations to allow of the erection Of
temporary structures and appointed a
committee to wait ON the legislature
and secure an act ordering all wires
underground

north side of Wellington street. a

daybreak. there was not a moment
when shift Of the wind to the north
would not have resulted in the destruc-
ton Of the greater part of the city.
Despite the crashing Of walls and the
confusion, only one serious accident oc-
| Cured. At an early stage of the fire
Chief Thompson got trapped by the
| flames and was forced to jump from the
! top Of a building. A net work Of wire

eler from Montreal was on the root
with him and no trace Of him has since
been seen. 1t is probable that he per

on Bay street until a complete circle OF
fire had formed around the Brock bull

ST. Petersburg, April 20.-What may
turn out to be the anticipated thanking
movement of the japanese troops is
the appearance of a number OF Japa-
nese ships off Potinsa. near the gulf Of
Ching Tai Tsi, as reported to the EN-
peror today by General Kuropatkin.
Military experts here have long regard
ed that vicinity as the probable point
OF Decentralization of the second Japa-
nese expedition. 1t is not far away
from Takushan, twelve miles to- the
easD, and connects by road with Port
Arthur Q50 miles to the southwest) and
Feng Hlan Cheng, $50 miles to the
northwesD. and the Russians rnade
their first obstinate res stance.
Though the japanese are building en-
trenchments on the lalu it is believes
they will advance soon. The arrange
ments for a turning movement are
complete and experts say that such a
Takushan. as Feng Huan Cheng lies
at the angle of an equilateral triangle,
with TakuShan and the mouth of the
Yalu at the angles at the base Of the
triangle
The japanese Decentralization un-
doubtedly will be assisted by a war
ship, and the Russians recognize that
1t will be impossible to prevent L.
1--WE will strike after they have
landed" grimly said a member of the
general staff
General Kuropatkin is aware Of the
stragetic Importance of the vicinity o1
Takushan. 1t is understood that he
has made his arrangements according

The House.

Washington, April 20.-The session
Of the House to-day was devoid of
especial interest. After an extended
debate. the naval appropriation bill
was sent back to conference, the only
disputed Senate amendment accepted
being that providing for the construc-
ton in navy yards of two collierS.
The Senate amendment for the Sc
lection of a site for a naval training
station on the Great Lakes, which was
adopted after amendment, evoked
criticism from Mr.. Rixey, of Virginia,
who characterized as ridiculous the
proposition to establish a naval train
ing station on the Great Lakes, in
view of the treaty with Great Britain.
specifically prohibiting the employ
ment of warships on the lakes.
A motion by Mr.. Meier douisiana).

viding for the construction of two col
lierS in government yards, afforded
Mr.. Bell an opportunity to speak in
behalf Of government ship yards.
which he believes should be strength
ened and built up, SO that the govern
ment would not be robbed or held up
by any ship-building trust or combine.
He said that the navy yards were ca
pable of turning out as good ships as
the private yards and save great time
to the government.
Mr.. Foss, in reply, read a letter
from the secretary of the navy, in
| which the statement was made that
| an additional expenditure of $4,000
would be required In preparing any
| navy yard to do the work.
| This statement was criticised by
| Mr.. Rixey (Virginia), who insisted
| that Congress had appropriated suffi-
cient money and that the yards ough,
| to be ready to build the colhers. The
| Senate amendment was accepted.
Another conference was authorized
| on the items still in dispute.
| A bill providing for the allotment
of the lands Of the New York Indians
| was passed, after much discussion
| and after the committee on rules ha6
| brought in resolution providing fol
| its immediate consideration.
