Useless.

NEW YORK. April 2s.-EIlIot Dam
forth, chairman Of the democratic ex-
ceutlye committee. says he feels conf
dent that New York viii go democratic
next fall. and that Mr.. Bryan will
easily sweep the country. II he will
agree TO a platform as outlined in his
Kansas speech.
Every day. he says. he receives as
surances that men who abandoned the
party four years ago were returning
now. because Of the attitude Of the
dominant party in relation to trusts
and Imperialism. and their confidence
that the silver issue would be relegated
to the rear in the coming campaign
II sufficient assurance could be given
that Mr.. Bryan would be willing to
conciliate Eastern democrats by max
ing trusts and Imperialism the promi-
Rent issues. he said. he felt sure that
rs per cent Of those who baked In 1896
would return to the party this year.
and that the other 25 per cent would be
more than compensated for by dis
satisfied republicans and independents.
None of us expect that Mr. Bryan
will abandon the Chicago platform"
Mr.. Danforth said. but we believe in
hoping that he and the other national
leaders will recognize the fact that
other issues have come to the front
since 1896, and that due Importance
should be given to them.
If this is done there is not any doubt
that democrats all over the country
VIII get together, and that means a
democratic victory next fall. New
York state is never doubtful when the
party is united. At every election dur
ing the last Is or 20 years, it has been
shown conclusively that there are more
democrats than republicans in the
state, and that democratic victory is
entirely dependent on democratic har-
mony."
In relation to the attitude of the
coming state convention, Mr.. Danforth
said that it was unlikely that it would
instruct the delegates to the national
convention to vote for Mr.. Bryan's
nomination or reaffirm the Chicago
platform. Our delegation will vote for
Mr.. Bryan. though" Mr. Danforth
added, 'and We will take particular
pleasure in doing so If a platform
upon which We can all unite is
adopted"

No statement could be obtained from

admitted. however. that at a luncheon
IN Philadelphia, attended by Mrs.
chllds and himself. they were congrat-
ulated by their friends upon their ru-
mored engagement. These congratula-

NEW YORK, April ga special to

Persistent rumors again couple the

there seems to be good reason to be-
lieve an announcement Of their engage

also smiled when asked about II.

for me to talk upon that subject with

what I'll do. I'll see Mrs. Childs and

house left in the street.
The fire sprang across the Ottawa
river and caught the sheds in the rear
OF the Mackay Milling Company on
Victoria island, and in a few minutes
the lumber piles on Victoria and Chau-
diere islands, one OF the power houses
OF the Ottawa Electric Company. the
Victoria foundry and half the buildings
on the two islands were in flames.
The result is that the whole Of that
part of Ottawa known as Chaudiere
Flats, surrounding the Canadian Pa
cihc railway station where the lum-
Der mills are located is fire swept. The
only building standing in the whole
area is that of the Ottawa Carbide
factory From the flats the fire ex-
tended across the Richmond road on
to Rochesterville and as far as the
experimental farm. Westerly the fire
took up Huntonberg and Mechanics
vile. so that on the Ottawa side of the
river there is a larger area covered
by the lire than on the Hull side. The
fire originated in a dirty chimney, and
high wind caused the flames to
spread rapidly.
The fire at midnight was largely con-
fined to that part of Rochesterville ly-
ing near the ST. Johns dam, in the
southwest part Of the city. Unless
heavy wine rises, the remainder Of
the city is safe. Three people were
killed.
