Requested.

OBS to SO the Democratic state con
fvention Yesterday placed upon the table
the request of William ] Bryan for the
resignation Of Roger Sullivan from the

him to be the one and only man cap.
able Of leading the Democratic party TO

fights and throughout confusion reiqned
supreme. The committee Oh resolutions
declined to report plank calling fol tile

calling for Sullivan's resignation.
1t had been agreed that each side
should have As minutes to present its
arguments. Judge Thompson spoke first
for Mr.. Bryan. He aroused the hostility
of Sullivar's friends by the unsparing
manner in which he dwelt upon the last
Democratic convention at Springfield.
He strobe up and down the platform his
face white with wrath and his form
shaking with the intensity of his feel
ings His caustie criticisms finally lost
him the ear Of the convention and he
might never have been able to conclude
his speech If sullivan had not personally
requested quiet.
Sullivan. who followed Thompson and
who was the first speaker in his own
behalf, declared that Mr. Bryan had been
poisoned against him and the demand for
his resignation sprang from personal EN-
nifty.
Great feeling was displayed on both
sides during the debate and at times
personalities Of disagreeahle character
were made by various speakers.
The end came on a motion made by
Congressman Kern OF Bellevilie, that
the request for the resignation Of Sulh-
van be laid on the table.
Feeling during the roll call on this
proposition ran high
The ticket nominated is headed by n.
L. Piotrowski for treasurer.

mtious congratulated the Democrats Of
Illinois on the brilliant prospects for
success in the coming presidential and

SlOo,ooo,o00 Nov.

Valparaiso Aug. 22. The loss Of life
by the earthquake Of Thursday, August
10, probably will not be short Of three
thousand, while the property destroyed
is estimated at $l00,0O0,000 and possibly
is far in excess Of that sum.

utmost severity by the military, police
and armed citizens patrols, who are
empowered to shoot hooters on the spot.

With the first shock Of The earthquake
buildings collapsed, their walls falling
with a tremendous crash. The inmates
in many cases were unable to escape.
The shock was followed almost imme-
diately by fierce storm, the wind pros
trating walls that had been weakened
BY the earthquake, and these broke troll
ley wires, which flashed incessantly.
The second shock was even heavier than
the first.
Five minutes afterwards fires started
in every direction, and Immediately the
whole town, which had been momentar.
lily in darkness, was Illuminated with
the lurid splendor Of gigantic flames.
The fremen made desperate fight, but
there was not much water, as most OF
the mains had been broken by the earth
tremor.
The Victoria theatre and the naval
club were utterly destroyed by tie
earthquake and the National theatre
succumbed to earthquake and fire. The
club De Stiembre, the church OF La
Merced, the buildings of the French
fathers, the navy department building
the city hall and many other buildings,
were destroyed by the earthquake.
The destruction by fire, however, was
infinitely larger, and probably 50 per
cent Of the commercial houses were to-
tally ruined. In Brazil alone nearly 30
blocks from three to FIVE stories high were
