leave shortly after dark Thursday

TEN MILLIONS
LOST IN FIRE
WHOLE BUSINESS BLOCKS CON-
sUMED IN TORONTO.
WIND STARTS BLAZE ANEW
Thirty-one Firms Burned out-Sur-
rounding cities Respond to Call for
Help-WhoIesale District of Cana
dian City Doomed-StiII Raging at
Early Morning Hours.

Toronto, Ont, April 20-Fire swept
through a section of Toronto's whole
sale business district last night, caus-
ing a loss estimated at $4,000, 900.
The fire started in factory on We'll
lington street about 8 o'clock. In less
than an hour the whole block was in
flames and the fire beyond control of
the local department. Several sur
rounding cities responded to an appeal
for assistance.
1t was believed at IL o'clock that the
fire was under control but a sudden
shift in the wind again famed the
flames and three more blocks were
soon ablaze. The firemen made gal
liant fight but all efforts at midnight
seemed fruitless. Up to that time 81
firms had been burned on. At o'clock
this morning the fire was sweeping
Bay street toward the lake.
The fire swept all the buildings on
Wellington street from CurTie's ware
house. where it originated, to the
Queens hotel. The thick fire walls of
the hotel and the concentrated efforts
Of the fremen stopped The flames
there, but in the meantime the fire
swept across the street, wiping out
the block from Bay street west to the
National club. A shift of the wind
sent the fire down Bay street, destroy
ing every building on both sides Of the
street to Front street. Nothing could
resist the force of the flames as they
swept dowl Bay street towards the
lake and the fremen fought back the
FIRE from the side streets in order to
confine the fire zone to one thorough
fare wherever possible. Several frame
buildings which threatened to cause a
spread of the fire were blown up with
dynamite.

Average for Ten Years,
The Wisconsin crop bulletin for the
week ending Monday, April Is, says
the winter season of 1904. while un
usually severe, was not particularly
unfavorable to winter grains and
grasses. as the snow which fell the
latter part of November remained on
the ground until the latter part of
March, furnishing ample protection
to grains and grasses during the
periods of intense sold. Since the dis
appearance OF the snow the alternate
freezing and thawing has been
detrimental to the crops and in some
sections considerable damage is re-
ported. Taking the state as a whole,

Daily Exchange Letter.
The weekly government crop report,
showing a decided improvement in the
condition of winter wheat in the south
west, caused a barely steady tone in
the wheat market. Lower cables and
cOpious rains in Kansas were addition
al bear factors. The demand was
moderate and came principally from
commission houses.
The market became extremely weak
as the session advanced. There was
in the May option, under the
influence of which the price of that
delivery declined The weakness Of
the nearby option had a depressing eff
feet on the more distant futures, July
declining.
Corn was easier under the influence
of heavy liquidation by the leading
long. Lower cables also contributed
to the depression.
The selling pressure continued
throughout the entire session and the
became decidedly weak.
In spite of an easier tone IN other
grains, oats ruled firm, due TO the
cas- hsituatiOn and to covering by
shorts. Small local receipts were a
minor bull factor.
Higher prices for hogs impaired
frmness to provisions. There was a
good general demand for hog products.

Thus Viceroy Alexief had neither
the army nor navy under control, be
ing charged merely with the civil adj
ministration. but in time of war there
is no civil administration or at least
little. When the Petropavlovsk was
sunk Viceroy AleXieff went TO Port
Arthur and notified the emperor that
he would direct the fleet until a new
commander was sent out. II is said
that the emperor did not answer this.
but Immediately telegraphed Vice Ad-
miral Skrydloff to assume command
of the Port Arthur fleet 1t is said
that not even this fact was officially
communicated 10 Viceroy Alexieff,
and he was allowed to learn of it
through the press dispatches. Vice
roy Alexieff considered the matter
three days and then decided to apply
for leave.

Madison Solid for la Toilette.

Governor La Toilette carried every
ward in Madison, despite the careful
and aggressive campaign waged by his
opponents. The victory was the most
sweeping in his favor of all he has won
in his home city. The total vote cast
in the city was 1867 The entire vot-
ing strength in the city is some $500
votes. In view of the fact that the
city is normally democratic the con-
clusiCn is irresistible that some demo
Gratis voted in the republican caucuses.
NJ. j. Regain says he was able to re-
strain enough democrats from voting
in the sixth ward to make up a ticket
cf delegates when the democratic
caucuses shall be held. The voting
of democrats was general in both
factions-they were all welcome.
Governor La Follette's total vote in
the city was 2,255, that of the opposi-
ton 1902, giving the regular republi-
cans a majority of 45S.
