Senate Committee Objects to Hitt Bill
Regarding Chinese.
Washington, April 23.— The .general
deficiency bill reported by the senate
committee on appropriations carries
$11,342,146, an increase as it passed
the house of $U40,525. It contains as
an amendment the H itt Chinese exclu
sion bill, which was accepted by the
house before the bill was passed. The
H itt bill was introduced in the senate
by Penrose and referred to the commit
tee on foreign ielations. In this com
mittee the discovery, it is said, has
been made that the bill will affect the
introduction of Chinese coolie labor in
to the Panama canal sone, and to a
considerable extent affect the immigra
tion to this country of Coreans and Fil
ipino« and the deportation from the
United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico and
any teiritorvy, "subject to the jurisdic
tion of the United Btates of any person
held to come within the definition of
the w o r d s “ Chinese persons,” and ob
jection has been made to the far reach
ing effects of the bill.
When the senate committee on for
eign relations began considertion today
of the Chinese b ill» it was suggested
that the bill might be of wider scope
than was at first thought.
Sections
defining the words "Chinese person”
were called to notice, and it was sug
gested that these might be held to re
late to Filipinos, Coreans and others
not intended to be included, and that
the purpose of the bill might be in con
flict with the existing treaties. It was
late when the discovery was made, and
finally the members of the committee
concluded that no action should be
taken on the Penrose b ill in view of
the fact that the H itt amendment w a s
reported in the deficiency bill, but that
the matter might be discussed in open
senate. It is understood an attempt
w ill be made to amend the measure be
fore the deficiency bill passes the
senate.

Loss Is Placed at $12,000,000,
Insur

Toronto, Ont., April 22.— The total
loss by the fire which destroyed the
wholesale district of Toronto last night
w ill, according to the moet conserva
tive estimate, reach $12,000,000, the
total insurance $8,360,000.
The area swept by the fire embraces
14 acres, and 9,000 to 10 000 persons
aie 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 a 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 250
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
southward 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. Currie 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 great
er pait of the city.
A t a 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 a sum of money in
the supplementaiy estimates for the
benefit of the firemen’ s fund.
I t is probable that the prorogation of
the legislature, w ill 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

affected is 222.

Washington, April 22.— The govern
ment has finally decided to take up the
Payette irrigation project, in Idaho,
which contemplates the reclamation of
140,000 acres of land in Boise and Pay

Boise river. Examinations of this pro
ject have been under way for several
years, and the department is now con
vinced the project is feasable and can
be carried out at a reasonable cost.
During the coming summer, final
surveys w ill 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
w ill consist of H. N. Savage, J. H.

likely to lead to the formal adoption of
one or the other of these projects.

St Petersburg, April 21.— Viceroy
Alexief! has applied by telegraph to the
emperor to be relieved of his position
of viceroy of the F'ar East. It is ex
pected that the request w ill be imme
diately granted. While no official an
nouncement has yet been made, there
ia every reason to believe that tbe fore
going statement is correct. The im
mediate cause of the viceroy's applica
tion is reported to be the appointment
of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, one of Ad
miral A lexieffa 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

ation, who are familiar with the gradu
al change in the emperor’s attitude to
ward the viceroy and M. Bezobraoff,
whe represented the military advanc
ing element, which was anxious that
Russia should remain in Manchuria.
I t was these two 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 Manchurip,
(lending further demands on China.

Destroyed at Toronto.
Toronto, Ont., April 21.— Fire swept
through a section of Toronto’s whole
sale business district tonight, causing a
loss which w ill probably reach $10,-
000,000. The fire started in a factory
in Wellington street about 9 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 w ill be hours before they
can be of assistance.
It was believed at 11 o’clock that the
fire was under control, but a sudden
shift in the wind again fanned the
flames into a roar and clouds of sparks
and burning brands were carried down
side streets until three entire blocks
were doomed. The firemen were mak
ing a gallant fight amid the falling
buildings and a mass of tangled wires,
but their efforts at midnight seemed to
be fruitless.

There la oue 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 a draft horse— he will be a
chunk of
some grade, not heavy
enough for a draft horse. Some peo
ple 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 o f a
quiet disposition and put more of their
feed Into growth and less into exer
cise 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 a good price for all
they eat when the time comes to sell
them. A t a sale In Ohio last week
draft geldings coming 4 years old sold
to feeders at $200 to $285 a bend. 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.

paid well In spite of her leakage. Now,
In tbe case o f my horses, I have
known them to pass oats with their
manure In so perfect a state that they
wouid grow, and no scheme of driv
ing nails In the bottom o f their feed
boxes, putting In stones or having
their teeth flatted by a horse doctor
had any effect on them. But, lo! w h ei
I fed them sheaf oats, not the first
vestige of an oat could be seen In
their manure. Now. what difference
does It make where or how the oats
are wasted? And If a few pigs could

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive on low-lying lands
which would not be suitable for fowls.
Old pasture Is best suited to their re
quirements, as they crop the grass
very short, and would likely destroy
the roots of newly sown grass. They
must be afforded liberty and lots o f
grassy range. They are very coarse
feeders and will eat nearly anything
In the shape of green food. Although
it Is desirable to hatch early. It is not
always advisable, as it depends upon
the climate and location. Goslings
need grass, and do not thrive unless
green food Is supplied when they can
not get range.
