LARGE HOTEL BURNED
One of Newport's Finest Hostelries
Reduced to Ashes

Newport, r. l., June 9.-The new
Cliff hotel, on Cliff avenue, one of. the
famous summer resorts of this city,
was destroyed by fire this morning.
The hotel had recently been remodelled
and was to have been opened for the
season tomorrow. The only persons in
the building when the fire broke out
were Manager Jordan and his wife
and son, aged IL.
Jordan and his wife occupied a room
on the second floor. About 80 they
were awakened by the ringing of the
telephone in the room and some one in
formed them that the hotel was on fire.
The flames had already cut off their
means of exit by the stairway. Going
to the room of his son Jordan found
that the boy had already made his es-
cape. Returning to his own room, he
assisted Mrs. Jordan out of a window
and, ordering her to drop, followed her
example, landing on the soft lawn,
twenty-five feet below. They found
the boy lying under the window of his
room, suffering from injuries due to
the fall. The boy was removed to a
hospital. Jordan and his wife suf-
fered no severe injuries.
The New Eliff hotel was a large
structure owned by the Shipley estate
Of Philadelphia. 1t was built thirty
five years ago and has been a favorite
summer residence for many wealthy
Newport visitors. The cause of the fire
is not known. The loss is very heavy.

NOW PRACTICALLY COMPLETE
RooseveIt's Ideas Embodied In Re
publican Party's Platform

The platform on which the Re
cago convention and on which the Re-
publican party will stand during the
next campaign has been completed,
with the exception of a few details
which will be left for the committee
on resolutions to insert, is the opinion
Of many who are I'm the confidence Of
the Republican leaders.
The policies of President Roosevelt
will be endorsed unequivocally, and
this endorsement will be the central
idea of the document. These policies
will be set forth as the embodiment
of the principles of the Republican
party, whose achievements will be
lauded as at all times wise and benefi
cient; as ever in the interest of all the
people.
These principles, it will be declared,
are quite in contrast with the policies
of the Democratic party which, as en-
bodied in the public utterances of its
leaders, it will be said, promise moth
ing good that can be assured of accom-
plishment. The Republican party's
record as the party of protection and
sound money, as the party of progress
and good principles, as the party that
gave freedom TO Cuba and lifted the
yoke from the necks OF the people of
the Philippines and Porto Rico, will be
held up Tor admirationSdnd made the
subject Of much praise, and the voting
public will be asked to continue TO
patronize the political craft that has
carried IL across so mary streams.

has been given by the platform makers
