O|L TANKS HIT
 .H BY LIGHTNING

New York, July 5.-More than two and a half million dollars damage has already been done and a number of persons have been severely burned by fire that started in the works of the Standard Oil Company at Constable Hook, Bayonne N J., early this morning. Twenty-three large oil tanks, fifteen union tank line cars, the crude oil refinery, the compound sweating plant, a Hungarian tenement and a saloon have been utterly destroyed, and the contents of twenty-three huge oil tanks are still burning in a sea of flame covering over a hundred acres
 The crash of lightning as it struck one of the pipe lines at 1245 o'clock this morning was the signal for the outburst of fire. In stantly great mass of flames appeared above tanks No. 4, and 16, and like flash flew in all directions.
 These are 90 feet tanks and contain L. 26O,000 gallons of oil each. Tank No. 6 split in twain. The flaming oil imme- diately set the new refinery on fire and swept across the railroad tracks of the Ma tional Storage Company, setting fire to the tresties and track.
 This sea of flames ran round the Hungar- ian tenement houses in the rear of the tanks and leaped at the base of the buildings. In an instant the first flames from the quantities of oil had doom- ed the structure. The occupants barely had time to get out of the building alive, and they rushed pell mell over the ground to escape from the blazing sea that was chas- Ing them faster than a prairie fire.

BRYAN IS PLEASED
 WITH THE PLATFORM

Lincoln, Neb., July. 5-News of the nom ination of William J. Bryan did not arouse the tumult of enthusiasm tonight that it did-four years ago, when the convention at Chicago similarly honored him.. At the Bryan home Mir. Bryan was reclining on lounge in the parlor with only the family present, when State Senator Talbot in the telegraph room above shouted: You're nominated, old man" Then Mir. Talbot came hurriedly down stairs, and as MT. Bryan reached for the bulletin he re- marked, jokingly Talbot, this is terribly sudden"
 :. MT. Bryan tonight gave out the following on the Kansas City platform:
 q am very much gratifed to learn of the adoption of a platform which is clear and explicit on every question. The con troversy over the silver plank was not controversy between men who differed in principle, but rather a difference of opin- ion as to the best method of stating the question.
 If we only had Democrats to deal with a simple reaffirmation would have been licans as we'll as Democrats, and some of the Republicans would misconstrue reaffirmation and endeavor to twist it into invasion or abandonment of the silver ques- tion

THE SPEECH OF
 TENNENT LOMAX

Following is the text of the speech of Tenent Lomax of Alabama in seconding the nomination of Bryan: -fgs
 "Mr. Chairman: I thank the delegation from Nebraska for giving to Alabama an opportunity to register her enthusiastic support of that ideal man who will be the. nominee of this convention for President of the United States. It gives me an op-r portunity to voice the sentiment of a De- mocracy that has never known defeat; De- mocracy that has never turned it's back upon the principles of that immortal dec laration that has carried the hope of -lib- erty to the uttermost end of the earth, of Democracy which stands where Jackson stood in defense of the essential liberties of the people, and which supports our bril- liant leader because he typhes the prfn- ciples of Jefferson, and holds them to his soul with all the tenacity of Jackson.
 we seek his nomination because he represents the money of the constitution; we urge his nomina tion because he stands for the liberty of the masses of the com mon people; we want him because he stands for that true American expansion which has enabled us to increase in 124 years from thirteen States and 100000 people to forty-five States and 70,000,000 in- habitants and which has carried the con- stitution to every region where the flag of our nation has ioated. We want him, further, because he represents that doc Urine which says that the power of govern ment rests eternally upon the consent of the governed and that any other govern ment is usurpation and oppression.
 "We want him because he stands for op- position to that imperial colonial policy which had it's birth on that fateful day when by the power of his guns Dewey wrote Manila side by side with Lake Erie and Trafalgar in the eternal book of fame and which will not have it's end until time shall be no more, unless it's spirit is curbed and checked by the election to the Presi- dency of a man who so foully represents the cardinal principles of the republic as to be able to put aside the temptations of imperial power. We demand his election because he stands for people against trusts, and will forever throttle and destroy them if called to preside over the destiny of this grand republic.
 Alabama desires, then, to second the nomination for President of this great Re- of Jefferson, the typical representative of Jackson, whose name is symbolical of the declaration of independence, who stands for the constitution in its full force and vigor and who will bring our people back to the mooring of the constitution and sweep away forever all idea of conquered islands and subjugated provinces, and who will establish once more in this fair land of ours a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Need I name him, who is the greatest Democrat in all the glorious history of this Republic-Wil- liam J. Bryan.

conscience of the people, and we must take them into our confidence if we expect them to have confidence in us. Our platform deals honestly and fearlessly with every question before the public and since we have nothing to explain we can spend all time in assaults upon Republican poll cies
 .'The industrial trusts have alarmed many who were not with us in our fight against the money trusts in 1S96 We shall not dis appoint them; we shall not cease our ef- forts until every private monopoly is de- stroyed.
 Imperialism appeals to many as the most dangerous of the evils now menacing our country. It involves not only change in our head of government, but returns to the militarsm of the old world.
 "No matter how men may differ as to the relative importance of the questions now before the convention, every one must recognize that an economic evil can be corrected more easily than one which at tacks the foundations of government.
 'If we adhere to the principles that gov ernment is thing made by the people for themselves, the people can in time remedy every wrong; but if that doctrine is once surrendered, the people are powerless to redress any grievance. The six and a half millions who supported the Chicago platform in 1896 stand like a solid wall against the trusts and against imperialism. If 10 per cent of those, who, by voting the Republican ticket brought the present dangers upon the country will join with us this antion will once more become the champion of liberty and an inspiration to the oppressed everywhere"

MORE REPORTS OF
 THE MASSACRE
(Continued From First Page.)


 Shanghai, telegraphng under date of July 5, says he believes that when official in- formation comes regarding Pekin it may include news of the outraging of English women and the torture of children. It may almost be taken for granted, he asserts, that all the foreigners in Pekin have been wiped out,
 There are whisperings of startling ru- mors in native quarters, and it must not be forgotten that telegraph lines by which alone the news can come are solely in the hands of the Chinese. The native rumors are likely to have their source on a solid basis, and the native officials are believed to be preparing the way for the reception of news of the greatest crime of the cen- tury Tatoi Yu admitted to the correspond ent that the case of the Europeans in Pekin is utterly hopeless, in his opinion. He be- lieves tht if they have not yet been massa- cred, it is only matter of hours that they will be.
