CITY. ACTS FOR SUFFERERS
All Public Buildings Are -Placed at
Their Disposal -- Erection of
Temporary Structures Will
Be Permitted.
TORONTO. Ont, April 20. The total
loss by the Are which destroyed the
"wholesale district -of Toronto last night
will, according to the most conservative
estimate, reach $12,000,000, the total insur
ance $8,360,000.
The area swept by the fire embraces
14 acres, and -9000 to 10,000 persons are
thrown out of employment. The work of
tearing down the dangerous walls was
continued until this afternoon.
In the whole burned district the only
walls that appear to stand intact are thoso
of the TV. R. Brock & Co. building. The
City Council this afternoon placed all
public buildings and the exhibition'
grounds at the disposal of the Are suffer
ers; amended the lire regulations to al
low the erection of temporary struc
tures, and appointed a committee to wait
on the Legislature and secure an act or
dering all wires underground.
The principal warehouses of tbe city
were reduced to ashes and nearly 230
firms 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 building on
Bay street, from Mellnda street south
ward 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 a boundary for a few hundred
feet to a whole block.
From the time the fire started on the
north side of "Wellington street, a short
distance east of Bay street, in the E. &
S. Currle manufacturing plant, till It
burned Itself out at daybreak, there was
not a moment when a shift of the wind
to the northward would not have resulted
in the destruction of the greater part of
the city.
At a meeting of the Toronto Legislature
tonight, the Premier and the leader of the
opposition expressed sympathy with the
fire sufferers, and it was decided to place
a sum of money in the supplementary es
timates for the benefit of the firemen's
fund.
It is probable that the prorogation of the
Legislature, fixed for Friday, will le -indefinitely
delayed because of the fire. The
burning of the Warwick brothers and But
ter building delavs the government print
ing for this year.
The total number of buildings destroyed
is 122; the number of firms affected is 222.
It was decided by the City Architect to
night to begin tomorrow morning the
work of dynamiting all the standing walls
in the ruined district.
The smouldering ruins broke out into
flames of considerable size during the af
ternoon and evening, but there is no dan
ger of a renewal of the conflagration.

ON THEIR FLANK.
force landed, and overwhelm them before T
the troopships can return with, reinforce
ments. The Russian experts say they
have nothing to fear from the army of
General Kurokai, as it would take fully
a month for him to move his troops to
the support of the other Japanese army.
Therefore, the Russians aver. General
Kouropatkin is in a position to crush,
any attempt on the part of the Japanese
to operate in Manchuria.
"If these facts are obvious to the Rus
sians, it would seem that they should be
equally so to the Japanese General Staff,
which is directing the campaign. The
appearance of the Cossacks at Chong Sen
will certainly serve to remind the board
that the right flank of General Kurokal's
army is still vulnerable, although at pres
ent the danger does not seem to bo very
formidable. The fact that nothing has
been heard from General Mischtchenko
and his force of Cossacks for three weeks
may mean that the latter means to make
a bold dash upon Northern Corea from
the northeast, and endeavor to strike in
upon the line of communication between
Seoul and Ping Tang and the reported
advance of the Cossacks upon Chong Sen
A may mean Just this. If the Japanesa
have taken the precaution to run a chain
of forts and stout blockhouses across the
northern part of the Corean peninsula,
and have garrisoned them with their
second lino of troops, these raiders
should do no serious Injury to the Jap
anese, since the troops on the Yalu ought
by this time to have shifted their base
closo up to the river and thus made them
selves Independent of the land line of
communication."

ments for a flanking movement are com
plete, and experts say that such a move
could properly begin at Taku Shan. n
Feng Huan Cheng lies at the angle of a
triangle, -with Taku Shan and the mouth
of the Talu at angles at the base of the
triangle.
"We will strike after they have landed,"
grimly said a member of the general staff.
General Kouropatkin is aware of the
strategic Importance of the vicinity of
Taku Shan, and it Is understood he has
made arrangements accordingly.

LONDON, April 21. The military ex

"So far as we can Judge by the tele
grams from the seat of war, the Rus

require all of their skill and resolution
to maintain such a dangerously advanced

the Japanese transports only land 48,000
men each trip, and that a fortnight must
intervene before the second contingent
can reach the scene of action. Therefore

PARIS, April 21. The Yinkow corre
spondent of the Paris Journal says he has
tried repeatedly to ascertain the extent
of the recent disasters to the Russian

of the perfectly-organized secrecy of the
Russians. In his concluding statement, he
says:
"The people of Franco will bo obliged
to be satisfied with notices marked 'offi
cial or semi-official statements sont from
Harbin or Mukden many miles removed

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2L Tho
Birschevaya Viedomosti publishes this
morning a letter from its correspondent
at Pekln, in -which it is said that the con

In the request of Yang Su, the Chinese
Minister at Toklo that the Japanese gov

The writer says the Chinese government
is ia sympathy with Japan, and that it
has begun to express this sympathy more
cautiously. He adds that the Chinese in
the United States have sent to the Pekln

to become acquainted with old Mongolian
weapons, the Japanese are supplying Mon

WASHINGTON, April 20. The an

Associated Press of the withdrawal of
Alexleff from the Far East, together with
the lucid and interesting story of the rise
and fall of the Radical element in Russia
headed by Alexleff and Bezobrazoff, was
received with interest in official circles
here. The change Just indicated is be
lieved to portend a complete reversal of
Russian policy in Manchuria, and it Is
thought that could Russia save her face
and pride before the civilized world by
scoring a decisive victory on land, the
way would speedily be opened for peace
negotiations on the broad basis of the
last Japanese proposition Just before tho
outbreak of the war.
