New Jersey Democrats ignore Chicago
Platform.

Trenton, N. j., May 31.-The Demo-
cratic state convention to select delegates
to the national convention at Kansas City
called to order by State Chairman VIM.
b. Goulrey nearly six hundred delegates
were present. Mr.. Goulrey introduced
Colonel Zulick, formerly governor of
Arizona, but now a resident of Mon
M outh county, as temporary chairman.
Colonel Zulick said; The platform pre-
sented by the majority Of the committee
ON resolutions was noted for its silence
on the money question and its failure to
make any reference to the Chicago plat
form of 1896. A small minority princi-
pally from Burlington county made a
vigorous fight TO have adopted platform
presented by the minority Of the commit
tee on resolutions. The minority platform
endorsed the Chicago platform and
pledged the delegates to Kansas City to
vote for Bryan. Congressman DAILY the
chairman of the committee on resolutions
made strong plea for the adoption of
the majority report. When the result Of
the roll call was finally announced there
was only 70 votes against the majority
platform. The platform adopted de-
nounces the Republican party for its open
effort to foster trusts; opposes imperial
ism; criticises the Republican party for
enforcing an unconstitutional tariff law
upon Porto Rico; urges the bestowal OF
the right of free government in the Phil
ippines; favors bi-metallism; insists that
the pledges to Cuba shall be kept, and de-
nounces the 'gross frauds''; urges con-
struction Of the Nicaraguan canal; ex-
presses sympathy for the Beers and final
ly recognizes Wi liam j. Bryan as the
popular tribune Of the people, able, fear
less and honest and worthy to receive at
their hands the highest political honor.
There was an interesting contest for
the four places of delegates at large. The
ballot resulted: Cornish and Ferrell, l077
each; Davis, 1851; MARITIME, 654; Barrett,
423.
The convention adjourned sine die at
five O'Clock.

An UnasafIly stubborn Fire On WASH
ington street. Boston.

Boston, May 8l.-What proved to be an
unusually stubborn fire to handle and
which at one time seemed certain to
envelop several large buildings in flames,
practically ruined the stock of the large
department store Of the Pitts, Kimball
Co., occupying the six-story building COZ
to COS Washington street, tonight, caus-
ing a loss, which, with that upon build
ing, viii undoubtedly reach e25o, 900.
The adjoining buildings from which
streams were played upon the burning
structure suffered considerable damage
from water. Those included the Park
theatre, which joins the Pitts -Kimball
building on the south, the New England
Piano company buildings and the IRE
mont theatre, in the rear. The fire, how
ever, did not reach these buildings.

night In quar- ter likely to be well in

who may hold out for . time, with scat-
tered bands Of gucrillas elsewhere.
The press dispatches from the head
quarters Of Lord Roberts gives no esti-
mate as to the number Of Beers who were
fighting Gen. French ana Gen. Ian
Hamilton Monday and Tuesday; but they
all agree that the Beers retired and that
the British casusltides were slight.
Mr.. Bennett Burleigh, wiring to the
Daily Telegraph from Elandfontein,
says;
'Much rolling stock and seven engines
have been captured by Lord Roberta 8
column. The principal losses In the
fighting have been sustained by the
mounted infantry, but the casualties
are trifling. Gen. French and Gen. Ham,
ilton were engaged to the west Of Johan-
nesburg.
"Since Sunday the western columns
have been fighting but, although guns
were used, the actions were never serious.
In fact, they were only big skirznishes.
The Beers are retreating TO Pretoria"
Mr.. Provost Battersby, In despatch
to the Morning Post from Germiston,
dated May 30, says:
1.-THE enemy fought rear guard ac-
tion, retiring from the south to the north
of the town with their pom.poms and
artillery in the morning and withdraw
ing their rifiemen through the town In
tho afternoon. We captured nine engines
and over q hundred wagons We succeed
ed In cutting the line In three directions
and imprisoning all the rolling stock
in Johannesburg. 1t was splendid
piece of work. The enemy were aston
ished at the repldity Of our advance"
Another correspondent telegraphing
from Germiston the same day says:
IT learn that the Beers are massing
six miles south of Pretoria for new and
desperate stand with front of 10 miles. "
Other rumors In the camp Of Lord
Roberts are that President Kruger is Ill
at Lydenbury and that the ammunition
of the Beers Is running short. Mr.. NJ
II. Donohoe,a correspondent Of the Daily
Chronicle, was captured yesterday.
Some discussion Is going on in London
as to what will be done with President
Kruger II he Is captured. One idea IL
that he win be sent to St. Helena; an
other that he win be tried for treason.
The Daily Express says:
Mr.. Kruger's London agent has In.
vested 150, 900 pounds Of the Presidents
money in land and mines. This took
place before the war broke out, and &c
this fact may be asoribed the failure
of the Transyaal authorities to blow uT
the mines.
London, June 1.-3 35 a.m.-The Times
says: ANY further resistance the Beers
may offer will be futile. The collapse
OF the Transvaal as militant state may
be regarded as complete. Threats of OBJ
stinate guerilla warfare need not be tax
en- more seriously than the exploded me-
mace Of resista nee at johannesburg and
Pretoria. The formal annexation Of the
Transvaal win speedily follow. The wal
is rapidly approaching its Close: Five
thousand fresh troops will embark foi
South Africa within the next few days.
