WAR PARTI DOffl The Czar Getting the Upper Hand of His Rash Ministers. ALEXIEFP IS LET OUT Viceroy's Position No Longer Tenable His Kesiiiaiion Became Immediately Imperative. The Man Who Was . Responsible Foi the War Find His Star Soon Set. Yin Kow, April 20. It is affirmed that a fresh battle is raj,i-.g at Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, Apr'l 20. Viceroy Alexieff has applied by telegraph to the emperor to be relieved of his po-TICE-A.D14IBAL ALEXEIEFF. eition of viceroy in the far East. It ia expected that the request will be im mediately granted. The immediate cause of the viceroy's application is reported to be the appointment of Vice Admiral Skrydloff. one of Admiral Alexieff's strongest enemies and sharpest critics, as successor to the late Vice Admiral Makaroff in command of the Russian navy In the far East. The relieving from command of Viceroy Alexieff would not surprise intelligent observers of the far Eastern situation who are familiar with the gradual change in the emperor's attitude toward the viceroy and M. Bezobrazoff, who represented the militant or advanced element which was anxious that Russia should remain in Manchuria. It was through these official advisers that the emperor conducted negotiations with Japan, and it is claimed that they misjudged the temper and purpose of the Japanese and left the emperor in Ignorance of the preparations for war which Japan was making and the rising war spirit of that empire. The enemies of Alexieff have persistently asserted that as the man on the spot he should have kept the emperor Informed concerning these vital points. On the eve of the war Alexieff apparently still had the confidence of the czar, but the lack of preparedness of the Port Arthur fleet called the attention of th smperor to the slackness of the naval administration in the far East. The antl-Alexieff party in St. Petersburg held that Vice Admiral Stark, who was the viceroy's representative, was responsible under him for the first reverse at Port Arthur. The emperor then appointed Vice Admiral Makaroff to command the fleet In succession to Admiral Stark. The emperor selected Makaroff and at the same time issued a special ukase making him absolutely independent. This was the flrat blow publicly given to Alexieff. The second was the appointment of General Kuropatkin as commander-in-chief of the army in Manchuria. Kuropatkin sided with Count Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, and M. Wltte against the policy of Manchurian annexation and stated to. the Chinssje mjnister to Russia,

' Mr. Hoo Wei Teh, that the whole trou ble originated with Alexieff. That thero might be no doubt of Kuropatkin's exact jurisdiction, the emperor issued another ukase defining it and gave the former minister of war complete control of military operations in, the far East. Officials in St. Petersburg say it must then have been evident to Alexieff that his star had waned. He had neither the army nor the navy under his control, being charged merely with the civil administration, but in time of war there is no civil administration, or very little. At first the viceroy received the official dispatches from Makaroff and Kuropatkin, but even this last shred of his dignity was removed when the two commanders communicated directly with the emperor. When the Petropavlovsk was sunk Alexieff started from Mukden for Port Arthur, telegraphing to the emperor on his arrival there that he had hoisted his flag on the battleship Sevastopol and would direct tha operations of the fleet until a new commander was sent out. It is said that no answer to this was sent by the emperor. Without consulting Alexieff's wishes and without considering Vice Admiral 'Doubassoff, whom he had originally recommended, the emperor telegraphed Vice Admiral Skrydloff to proceed to Port Arthur via St. Petersburg and assume command of the fleet. It is said that not even this fact was officially communicated to Alexieff, and he was allowed to learn of It through the press dispatches. Alexieff considered the matter for three days, at the end of which ne is said to have reached a decision to apply for leave. When Alexieff severs his connection with the far Eastern question none of the men responsible for the policy pursued before the war will be in power, M. Bezobrazoff having already lost the confidence of his majesty and the advisory committee's duties at present being purely perfunctory. It is not expected that a successor to Viceroy Alexieff will be appointed, as the importance of the post of viceroy has disappeared owing to tha result of the war. AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN New Commander In Far East Proposes to Push Things. St. Petersburg, April 20. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, Admiral Makaroff's successor, who is now in St. Petersburg, is quoted as saying: "I believe in offensive tactics. It is necessary to push ahead and take the initiative, instead of letting the enemy keep us in a state of unrest It is essential to keep him in a state of unrest. It is necessary to invite a combat and take chances. Any combatant who awaits his enemy is practically at his enemy's mercy. But aggressiveness does not mean imprudence. Wisdom must go with boldness, but it is evident that to be aggressive does not mean the same thing for the Russians as for the Japanese at Port Arthur, since the latter have more ships than the former." IN FITTING REMEMBRANCE Daughters of Revolution Do Honor to Illustrious Sires. Washington. April 20. In the shadow of the majestic shaft of the Washington monument the cornerstone of the Memorial Continental hall which the Daughters 6f the American Revolution are to build in memory of the heroes of that war was laid yesterday afternoon with impressive ceremonies and in the presence of Daughters from every state In the Union, their daughters and granddaughters. The daughters were seated in an enclosed space on one side of which was erected a stand immediately in front of the cornerstone. The space was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting. Across the front of the stand were four garlands bearing the names of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. Mrs. John W. Foster, Mrs. Adlal Stevenson and Mrs. Daniel Manning, the first four presidents general of the society. The beginning of the ceremonies was signalled by the singing of "America," the great asemblage being led by the marine band. The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Edward , Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate. An ovation preceded the next number on the program, the address by the president general of the society, Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, wife, of the senloj sgnator
from inaiana. sne was repeatedly in
terrupted by applause. Mrs. Fairbanks' address was br'ef and told the simple story of the purpose for which the hall was erected. "It will, when completed," she said, "symbolize the contributions, the beliefs of thousands of patriotic women of the republic, and as we have had the saving faith to believe this place beautiful will stand for ages a temple from which will shine forth the rays of the lamp of liberty kept trimmed and burning by the devoted daughters of patriotic ancestry. It will be a shrine to which future generations will repair to receive renewed inspiration in their work for liberty." The cornerstone was laid by the grand lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia. The gavel used was the historic one which President Washington used when he presided as grand master of the Masons of the state of Virginia in laying the cornerstone of the capitol building. Parker Rebuffed In Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa., April 20.

TEN MILLION DOLLAR BLAZE Toronto's Wholesale District Devastate ed by Flames. Toronto, Ont., April 20. Fire swept through a section of Toronto's wholesale business district last night, causing a loss which will reach fully ten million dollars. The fire started in a factory in Wellington street about 9 o'clock. In less than an hour the flames had spread to buildings on both sides of the street until the whole block was a mass of flames and the fire utterly beyond control of the local department. Appeals were sent tf every surrounding city where fire apparatus could be obtained, asking for 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 making a gallant fight amid the falling buildings and a mass of tangled wires, but their efforts at midnight seemed to be fruitless. Not until the flames encompassed Bay street did the fire burn itself out. Chief Thompson of the fire department and George Dowkes of Montreal were cut off by the flames while directing the work of fiiemen from a roof. Thompson jumped six stories to the ground and miraculously escaped with a broken leg. A mass of tangled wires broke his fall near the ground. Dowkes has not been seen since, and it is believed he perished.
