BALTIMORE, June 14.-One OF the larg-
est fires that ever visited the water
front of Baltimore started at 2o'clock
this afternoon on the old Bay Line wharf.
The loss, as near as can be estimated, is
nearly $1,000,000. The freight shed OF
the Bay Line company was fully stocked
with cotton, whisky and general mer-
chandise, consigned to foreign firms.
The fire is thought to have originated in
the cotton by spontaneous combustion.
Quick as fash the flames spread. In
tense excitement reigned along the en-
tire water front. The Bay Line wharf
was totally destroyed. The, wharf had
on it large warehouse, a big laundry
and newly erected Office building.
Before the sehooners Carmina and
Maston couldsbe towed from the wharf,
they were badly damaged, as we're the
four masted ice schooners Wesley Over.
Mamie Howard and William Writ. The
flames were conquered, but not until
considerable damage was done. The
Augustus Welt were burned away, the
Auaoto anu Ouil w Nnu bhO VCSbCl
left blackened wreck. The estimated
damage to the schooner is $25, 900; in
sured. The ice is valued at 81 per ton,
of which 1000 tons were on board.
Two barges laden with cotton were
moored to the Bay Line wharf, and be-
fore relief could reach them, the cotton
and barges were burned. All around
the Bay line wharf are warehouses
stored with tons OF the most inflammable
material, and the fremen worked like
beavers to prevent the spread of the
flames. The heat at times was distress.
ing, and many fremen were compelled
to strip. Many of them were exhausted
by the heat. During a portion of the
time work was impeded by streams of
molten resin that flooded the streets and
water.
On the wharf were 5000 bales of cot.
ton, worth $40 to $50 bale, and 1000
barrels Of whisky, worth from $50 to $75
a barrel. Other freight and wharf prop
erty will bring this part OF the loss up
to nearly 81, 900 900, partially insured.

70 FUSE OR NOT TO FUSE.
That IL the Question That Puzzles the
Kausas Alliance.

That IL the Question That Puzzles tho
Kansas Alliance.
WICHITA, KAN, June 1.-THE dele
gates to the Farmers Alliance state
convention, which meets here tomorrow
to nominate full state ticket, are dis
cussing only one question: "Shall the
Farmers' Alliance fuse with the Demo-
crats?" At a conference of Farmers
Alliance and Democratic leaders in Kan
sas City plan of fusion was arranged.
A portion Of the plan was executed to-
day when the Farmers' Alliance NOM
mated E. v. Wharton for congress, an
ex-Democrat whom the Democrats have
endorsed.
The question now is whether the rest
OF the plan will be carried out. There
ia strong fusion sentiment among the
more conservative delegates, and the
leaders realize that without Democratic
aid they cannot hope for success. 1t
looks tonight as if the fusion idea would
prevail.
Jerry Simpsons denomination for
congress this afternoon will probably
kill his gubernatorial boom.

vailed in ancient Athens whereby citizen
might, although not criminal, and per
haps indeed an upright man, be hanished
from the state for IA period fixed at first at
ten wears. but later reduced to five. Every
year the people were asked whether they
wished to exercise this power. IL they
wished to do so they had to write the name
of the man whom they wanted to exile
upon an oyster shell or piece Of earthen-
ware, and il 5000 Votes" were given to
any one person he had to leave Athens
forthwith. This custom, which was known
as "ostracism." from the Greek word
ostlakon "a piece of earthenware). was
abolished about 800 years before Christ
That the power was open To abuse was
proved by the famous case OF Aristides the
