At 2:30 this morning flames were dis
covered breaking out Of the eastern end
of the Northern Pacific warehouse.
An alarm was Immediately turned in
from box 26 at the corner of Prince and
Pine streets, but before the fire depart
ment was on the ground the fire had
gained such headway II. the light wood

that the whole eastern end was
doomed. The efforts of the f1remen
were therefore confined to saving the
main part of the building.

hands, but when the full force of doz-

felt. the flames were quickly subdued
and by 4 o'clock were fully under con-

destroyed fifty feet of the structure
and the goods in the balance being
somewhat damaged by smoke and

The cause Of the fire and the extent
Of damage could not be learned at this

reach well up into thousands of dol

When all were seated and order was
obtained, it was found that the space
reserved for the New York Massachu
setts, Maine, Maryland and New Jersey
delegations were. practically vacant
The threat Of a bolt came home with a
realizing sense. but it was explained
that these delegat tions We're still in con-
ference discussing the situation
Rev. Francis Edward Green an
Episcopalian minister of Cedar Rapids.
Ia, who has the distinction of having
prayed for peace and harmony at two
previous Democratic conventions, was
introduced and delivered the invoca-
ton. The minister's voice was strong,
but Of pleasing timbre and the vast
audience stood and listened attentively
to his plea for peace.
Senator Daniel was a commanding
figure as he stood by the f1ag-draped
desk announcing that the first business
of the day would be the reports Of the
committees. A hitch in the machinery
appeared at once, for the committee on
credentials which always reports first
was not ready with it's recommended
tions.
In the meantime. while the conven-
tion was waiting, a diversion was fur
nished by the band which was brought
to Chicago by the Bland Marching
club. The convention band was pound
ing away in the high gallery over the
platform, when a counter-blare was
heard in the far western end Of the hall
to the right of the delegates and the
Bland band came into sight filing up
the long aisle to the topmost row Of
seats playing the pyrotechnic strains
of Dixie" which never fails to affect
a Democratic convention like match
dropped into powder barrel 1t pro-
duced the customary explosion Of en-
thusiasm, the Missouri delegates with
many of their supporters climbing into
their chairs to shout, Maryland, My
Maryland" inspired another demon
stratfon.
Then Chairman Daniel put motion
that the committee take a five minutes
recess and be addressed by Gov. Hogg,
Of Texas The motion was carried.
The former Long Star governor, who
is best known to the world at large
through his fight against the railway
corporations in his state, is easily the
biggest man in the convention. His
weight is not less than 300 pounds and
he stands some inches above six feet.
He has lost the beard which he wore
last summer during his invasion OF
Wall street to lure northern capital
southwark and faced the friendly
audience with round, smooth face.
He proceeded with voice like the
bass of q church organ, to hurl thunder
belts against gold and Republicans.
He began by congratulating the con-
vention on the proud opportunity be-
fore 1t.

respect, and at it's conclusion there
were yells Of applause, as at st. Louis.
There are two theories to account for
this, one being that Democrats don't
know what prayer is and can't appre-
ciate it, and the other that they do un-
derstand 1t and regard it as some
thing to be treated with respect. The
contrast between Democrats and Re
publicans on the prayer question is
certainly very marked, and leave the
reader to draw his own conclusions.
The prolongation of the convention
is liable to come on the nomination.
The Bland men would like to abolish
the two-thirds rule, but the friends
Of other candidates are not likely to
assent to this, because they recognize
that Bland is in the lead. They can
combine against him and prevent his
getting two-thirds, but he might come

rover of the White Metal Majority
Exerted to Deliver the State to
Silver.

CHICAGO, July 8-The crowds he
gan pouring into the Coliseum short
ly after O'Clock this morning, but
the heavy-eyed delegates, many Of
whom had had an all-night vigil, were
late In arriving The band kept up a
fusllade of lively airs, while the peo-
pie bubbled up through the entrances
and melted away in the acres of seats
and the scene early became brilliant
ard animated. A few minutes before
10 O'Clock, the delegates began to ar
rive They came with their loins grid
ed for the fray. The developments of
the night put every man on his met
tie, for 1t meant hard fighting all
along the line. The first of the con-
sp1cuous leaders to arrive was Gov
Altgeld. He stalked moodily to his
seat and Immediately became the CEN
ter of group. Nervously his lean
fingers sought his short brown beard,
as with inclined head, he listened to
the latest reports Of his lieutenants
before the engagement opend The
silver leaders entered the arena with
their programme pretty well mapped
out. They intended to charge the gold
army and drive them as far as posi-
bic against such stubborn resistance
as masterful generalship could offer.
At 10:15 the Iowa delegation ap-
peared in body and marched to their
seats behind a Boies banner. Their
appearance was GREETED with a ripple
of applause, punctuated with rattle
of cheers, which, however, quickly
died away. Chairman Daniel, with
his long black hair falling to his
shoulders, held an Informal reception
on the stage. At 1890 a. M, man
in a tow suit, bearing banner of the
W. ]. Bryan club, of Nebraska, rushed
up through the south entrance, fol-
lowed by couple of hundred Nebras-
kans. They cheered wildly. A Bryan
demonstration for the hoy orator of
the Platte" ran around the hall. Tom
L. Johnson, the Ohio free trader and
single taxer, his colleague, L. E. Hold
en-, with gray beard and smooth upper
lip, and Congressman Jones, of Vir-
ginia, formed an interesting group
with their heads together in the main
aisle.

NEW Bland VOTES.

CHICAGO. July s.-The Bland boom has
gained an important accession in the twenty
four votes of Tennessee, which will be cast
for the Missouri candidate on the first ballot
and until the delegation shall decide If it
sees it, In the event OF long. contest, to
take up another man. The decision to sup
port Bland was made at a meeting OF the
delegation held at IA late hour last night. On
the roll call, thirteen delegates expressed
their preferenceHfor Bland and eleven for
Boies- AS the unit puie Diads the delegation,
its tweuty-four votes will be cast together.

so near a majority as to start one Of
those uncontrollable stampedes. So
that while the silver forces have the
power to wipe out that rule just as
they are wiping out the Democratic
party itself, they are unable to agree
among themselves to do, it. 1t would
be foolish to predict with any posi-
: tiveness the length of this convention
under these circumstances, but a
deadlock, with the gold men declin-
ing to vote, or certainly not voting for
a silver candidate, and the silver men
unable to agree among themselves,
even If they capture two-thirds of the
convention through the committee on
credentials, may prolong the conven-
ton until Friday or Saturday, or even
until next week. 1t simply depends
upon how much obstinacy to the
square inch the silver men carry in
their anatomy. The hope of Teller
and the dark horses is in prolonging
the fight, and 1t is the field against
Bland. The prospect of prolonged
convention is already causing some to
leave and alternate tickets for the
rest of the convention are freely Of
fered on the street at s5. Some Min
nesota spectators went home tonight,
but new arrivals continue, among them
being ex-Attorney General Smith, of
Mankato.
LAWLER MISQUOTED.
Mr.. Lawler was quoted in the Chi
cago papers today as having advo-
Gated bolt at the gold meeting on
Tuesday night. The meeting was ex-
elusive and reporters were only able
to learn what was done after adjourn
ment and Lawler was incorrectly re-
ported. What he said was that the
Democrats of Minnesota who had made
so many sacrifices for the party were
willing to make almost any sacrifice
except to desert the party. He did not
think it would be wise to determine a
definite line of policy now, but to walt
until the platform and ticket are put
in the field. Mr.. Lawler in common
with other supporters of a gold stand
ard does not expect that the gold wing
of the party will support a silver can
didate and platform, but whether the
revolt will be active or passive he saws
Is now only a matter of conjecture.
This is really the position of the gold
forces. You can count that SO far as
practical results are concerned the
Democratic party is rent in twain.
Details will develop according to cir
cumstances. The West and South have
thrown down the gauntlet zto-the East
