education has been authorized by the
legislature, 900 TO pay floating in
debtedness and $4,000 for a new high
school building Several times within
the last two years the board of educa-
tion has attempted to prevail upon the
finance. board to vote to issue the bonds
for new high school, but heretofore
the request had not been granted.
AT the meeting Of the finance board
held late yesterday afternoon President
Whitney of the board of education and
Mr., Beede, who was recently chosen by
that board to succeed Mr. Kendall as
superintendent of schools, appeared and
We're heard on the matter They pre-

the bond issue desired was secured it
was the intention Of the board of edu-
cation to erect a new building, adequate
to meetsall needs, on York square Con-
sideration of the request of the two men
from the board of education was post

Mr.. Whitney stated that if money
could be secured from a bond sale to
erect a new high school the present

be converted into a grammar school in
order to furnish the additional room
needed for the grammar school grades.
The bills from the members of the
board of relief for $500 each for addi-

STINDA OTL'S GREAT FIRE.
Nearly S3,OoO,nOO Damage Already
Dnnc-Firr Under Control,

Dnnr-Firr Untcr Control.
New York, July 5.-Two million and
quarter of dollars damage has al
ready been done and a number of per-
sons have been severely burned by a
fire that started in the works of the
Standard Oil company at Constable
Hook, near Bayonne, N, j., early this
morning. Twenty-one large oil tanks,
fifteen union tank line cars the crude
oil refinery, the compound sweeting
plant, the pumping station, Hunga-
rian tenement and a saloon have been
utterly destroyed and the contents of
twenty one huge oil tanks is still burn
ing in a sea of flame covering over a
hundred acres.
The crack of a lightning bolt as it
struck one of the connecting pipe lines
was the signal for the outburst of fire
Tonight the fire is practically under
control but should very heavy wind
arise and spread the flames to tanks /,
and nothing can ave Constable
Hook or the balance of the works of
the Standard Oil company or the resi-
dence portion of Bayonne.
The company's docks on the Kill Won
Kull have been stripped and shipping
taken to New York bay, About five
hundred families are encamped on the
salt meadows near Bayonne, fearing
their homes will be destroyed at any
minute. Third Vice President ]. II. AL
exander of the Standard Oil company
estimates the damage at about $4,000
900.
Two more tanks exploded tonight
shortly after 10 O'clock, These two
tanks, which caught fire tonight, will
probably increase the loss by 100000.
The Standard Oil company announces
that few of the thousand men employed
by it at the Hook will suffer, as all its
hands will be wanted in the work of re-
construction, which will be begun
promptly.

But the great battle of the convention
has not been fought under the eyes or
cheering thousands, but in the privacy
of the closely guarded quarters OF the
committee on platform. Here was Wag-
ed throughout last night and again this
morning one of the most remarkable
struggles that has ever racked this his
toric party. On the one hand was the
influence of Bryan and the absolute
unity of devotion felt toward him and
the cause of silver with which he name
is inseparably linked. On the other
hand We're many of the patriarchs of
the party, men like Daniel of Virginia,
insisting that the very life of the organ
izatiCn was endangered by changing its
old issues and that the duty of the hour
called fer new issues based on
new and vital events. This
contest was at last narrowed down to
the one issue of specifically reatflrming
the party's adherence to a sixteen to
one standard as rdesired by Mr.. Bryan,
or of reaffirming the silver plank in
most general terms. And on this issue

convention has for the last thirty-siX
hours been engaged in battle royal
for supremacy. And out of this fierce
strife the adherents of Bryan emerged
scared, but victorious, They have
written the platform in their own way,
with 16 to /. But is was a victory by
a scratch, for single vote would have
turned the scale. And it has not been
a victory without concession, for in the
final draft silver is no longer para

while in the very forefront is the decla-
ration that imperialism is the para

There remains only the choice of a
candidate for vice president, and the
work of the convention is over. There
Is every evidence that this choice will
be quickly made tomorrow morning, al
though there is still doubt as to who
the nominee will be.
