Victoria, B. c., April 20.-John
Cain, of Port Angeles, Wash, ad-
dressed crowded meeting here last
night on the proposed s"heme to build
a railroad from the south to the north
end OF Vancouver island. connecting
with the Port Angeles line by ferry
across the Straits of Fuca and with
Alaska at the north end by swift ferry
steamers. He guaranteed to start
building within so days after the SUBJ
sidy is settled and complete it within
two years.
The proposed line will cost $9,ooo,-
O00. The subsidy asked for is 8, 600
acres per mile and $40, 900 per mile, 8
per cent inscribed stock of the pro-
vince, redeemable in 40 years. The
meeting endorsed the project and de-
cided to appeal to the provincial gov

The scheme is designed to capture the
Alaska trade from the Puget sound
cities and San Francisco.

RUSSIA ISSUES PAPER MONEY.
Finance Minister Says 1t Is Not Forced,
and No Loan Is Desired.

St. Petersburg, April 25.-Russia has
made new issue of SIS, 200 900 in
paper currency against free gold in the
State bank. At the ministry of finance
it was explained that it was an ordin-
=ary issue, and in no sense was forced.
Under the law paper is issuable to dou-
BILE the amount of gold up to $50, 900,
900 gold, in excess of which paper is
sued must be covered rouble for rouble.
In the State bank there are, in round
figures, $40o. 900, 900 in gold, which
would permit of An issue of $3.50, ,0O0,-
900 in paper, but the paper issue at
present only amounts to $3.50, 900 900.
All sorts of figures ofNthe cost of the
war are printed abroad. The cores
pondent Of the Associated Press is au-
thoritatively informed that the daily
expenses are averaging $3.50, 900, and 1T
is estimated that a years expenditure
for the war will total $3.50 ,000, 900.
To meet this there existed a free bal
=ance of 100000 by reductions in
the ordinary budgets, leaving ostensibly
s$135 100000. But portion of the
latter is made up by the increased earn
ings of the railroads owned by the gov
-ernment. It being in reality a ques-
ton of bookkeeping, how the balance
as to be raised has not yet been determ-
lined.

BIG LOSS BY FIRR.
Over $4,000, 600 Worth of Propert,
Destroyed at Toronto.

Over $1O.0OO,O0O Worth of Property
Destroyed at Toronto.
Toronto, Ont, April 21.-Fire swept
through section of Toronto's whole
sale business district tonight, causing a
loss which will probably reach $1O,-
600, 900. The fire started in a 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 a mass of flames, and
the fire was utterly beyond the control
of the local department. Appeals were
sent to every surrounding city where
fire apparatus could be obtained asking
for assistance. Montreal, London,
Hamilton and Buffalo at once respond
ed, but it will be hours before they
can be of assistance.
It was believed at IL O'Clock that the
fire was under control, but sudden
shift in the wind again famed the
flames into roar and clouds of sparks
and burning brands were carried down
side streets until three entire blocks
were doomed. The fremen were max
ing gallant fight amid the falling
buildings and a mass of tangled wires,
but their efforts at midnight seemed to
be fruitless.

Russians are Rapidly Crossing the Yalu
MANY are Drowned.
Niu Chwang, April 2S.-A messen-
ger from the Yalu river reports that
the Japanese outposts are near the Rus
sian intrenchments with large bodies
of troops five miles distant. He also
states the Russians are fleeing north
across the river in overcrowded boats,
losing hundreds by drowning. The
messenger himself met only few of
the Japanese, but they were reported
to have shown themselves in force on
various occasions, afterward quickly
disappearing.
The newspaper correspondents ac-
credited to the Russian forces have left
for Mukden. They bind themselves
not to divulge news respecting the re-
suits of engagements, or give any in
formation which may awaken public
uneasiness.
The Russians have issued placards
in Chinese explaining away the Jap
anese victories, detailing Russian sue
cesses, magnifying the Russian
strength, and prophesying victory for
Russia. The Chinese are not misled,
but still believe the Japanese will con-
quer in Manchuria.

Making Draft Horses.

DTa1C hOISc9s
There is one thing that the man who
is trying to raise big horses should
not overlook-and that is plenty Of
food for the colts. A draft-bred colt
that has not enough to eat will not
make draft horse-he will be a
chunk of some grade, not heavy
enough for a draft horse. Some peo-
pie claim that draft colts will not re-
quire any more feed than colts of a
lighter breed. That is an error. They
do require more, but not SO much in
proportion to their size as does the
light horse, because they are of a
quiet disposition and put more of their
feed into growth and less into exer-
else or nervous fretting than the light
horse. But no big horse will be pro-
duced if the feed is lacking. Give the
colts enough to keep them growing,
and they will pay good price for all
they eat when the time comes to sell
them. At sale in Ohio last week
draft geldings coming years old sold
to feeders at 5000 to $2s5 head. When
feeders can afford to pay such prices
for horses to fatten for market there
is nothing wrong with the draft horse
business. But there were no stunted
colts in the bunch that sold for these
figures.

IRRIGATION WORKS FOR IDAHO.
Government Decides to Take In the Pay.
cite Valley Project.


Washington, April 22.-The govern
ment has finally decided to take up the
Payette irrigation project, in Idaho,
which contemplates the reclamation OF
lac, 900 acres of land in Boise and Pay
cite valleys, by diverting the waters OF
Boise river. Examinations of this pro-
ject have been under way for several
years, and the department is now con-
vinced the project is feasible and can
be carried out at reasonable cost.
During the coming summer, final
surveys will be made for canals and
other works, and it is expected that
contracts for the construction can be
prepared and let by the end of the
season.
The board of consulting engineers
will consist of H. N. Savage, j. H.
Quinton and w. H. Sanders which will
soon examine the Umatilla and Nal
heur irrigation projects in Eastern Ore
gon to determine which of the two il
the better adapted for government con-
struction. The report of this board is
likely to lead to the formal adoption of
one or the other of these projects.

vlceroy Alexieff Asks the Car to Re
Iieve Him.
st Petersburg. April 21.-viceroy
Alexief has applied by telegraph to the
emperor to be- relieved of his position
of viceroy of the Far East. 1t is ex-
pected that the request will be imme-
diately granted. While no official an.
nouncement has yet been made, there
is every reason to believe that the fore
going statement is correct. The i'm
mediate cause of the viceroy's applica-
tion is reported to be the appointment
of Vice Admiral Skrydioff, one of Ad-
miral Alexieff's strongest enemies and
sharpest critic, as successor to the late
Vice Admiral Makaroff in command of
the Russian navy in the Far East.
The relieving from command of Vice
roy Alexieff would not surprise intelli-
gent observers of the Far Eastern situ-
alton, who are familiar with the gradu-
al change in the emperor's attitude to-
ward the viceroy and M. Bezobraoff,
who represented the military advanc-
ing element, which was anxious that
Russia should remain in Manchuria.
It was these etwo men that the Anglo
japanese entente first lost its friends.
They believed Great Britain would not
go to war and that Japan could not
do SO. To the indignation of Japan,
they succeeded in turning the policy of
the empire from carrying out the treaty
for the entire evacuation of Manchuria,
pending further demands on China.

LOSS is MILLIONS
LARGE BUSINESS PORTION OF To-
RONTO DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Damage Placed at $12, 600. 900 With
$500, 600 Insurance-city Acts for
Sufferers-M Public Buildings are
Placed ut Their Disqualification
of Temporary Structures Permitted.

Toronto, Ont. April 22.-The total
loss by the fire which destroyed the
wholesale district of Toronto last night
will, according to the most eonserva-
tive estimate, reach $12,o00,0OO, the
total insurance $S, ,36O, 900.
The area swept by the fire embraces
IA acres, and 9, 900 to 10 900 persons
are thrown out of employment. The
work of tearing down the dangerous
walls was continued until this after
noon.
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 the erection of temporary
structures, and appointed committee
to wait on the legislature and secure an
act ordering all wires under ground.
The principal warehouses of the city
were reduced to ashes and nearly $50
films were put out of business. The
area covered by the fire is three blocks
in length and varies from half a block
to two blocks in width. Every build
ing on Bay street, from Melinda street
southwark to the waterfront, was wiped
out and the fire spread on Wellington
and Front streets, along the waterfront
from this section and the Esplamade
along the waterfront from this section
with Bay street for boundary for
few hundred feet to whole block.
From the time the fire started on the
north side of Wellington street, short
distance east of Bay street, in the E. &
S. Currie manufacturing plant, till it
burned itself out at daybreak, there
was not moment when shift of the
wind to the northward would not have
resulted in the destruction of the great
er pant of the city.
At meeting of the Toronto legisla-
ture tonight, the premier and the
leader of the opposition expressed
sympathy with the fire sufferers, and it
was decided to place sum of money in
the supplementary estimates for the
benefit of the fremen's fund.-
1t is probable that the prorogation of
the legislature, will be indefinitely de-
layed because of the fire. The burning
of the Warwick brothers and Rutter
building delays the government print
ing for this year.
The total number of buildings des-
troyed is 1872; the number of firms
affected is 222.

PAPERS ARE SIGNED
TITLE TO PANAMA CANAL. NOW

Agreement Transfers Property Without
Reservation-Stockho VIII Now
rector of company-TitIe Is Perfect
u. S. First to Hear News.

Paris, April 25.-The Associated
Press is authorized to announce that
the contract by which the Panama
canal passes to the United States il
signed and sealed. The title to the
canal is now vested in the United
States. The document by which this
transaction is consunated bears the
signatures of President Bo and Director
Richman, of the Panama canal COM
pany, who signed for the company as
its responsible officers. The transfer is
complete and without reservation, and
the United States secures a perfect
title.
This result has been quietly accom-
plished, and Unexpectedly. as the public
has been given to understand that the
contract would not be executed until
after the meeting of the stockholders of
the Panama canal company tomorrow,
at which the question of ratification
would be presented. As a matter of
fact, however, when the meeting takes
place President Bo will announce that
the sale has been completed, and, in
stead of asking for authority to execute
a contract, it will only remain to ratify
the contract of sale which the officers
of the company have formally COM
pleted. Only few of the highest Off
GERS of the company are now aware of
the secret, which will not be known
except by this announcement in the
United States up to the time of the
meeting.
1t is confidently believed that the
completion of the sale before this meet
ing will increase the vote for ratifica-
tion.
