Boston, July "A fire believed to
have been caused by spontaneous
combustion or a locomotive spark,
and famed by brisk northwest wind
swept nearly a quarter Of a mile Of
the harbor front Of east Boston late
yesterday, causing a property loss es-
timated at nearly $1,500,0O0. Daniel
Sullivan, a watchman at the Cunard
liner pier, is missing.
The flames spread with remarkable
rapidly. Within half an hour Of the
time the fire was discovered, four
piers, three warehouses, a grain ele-
vator, containing 10000 bushels Of
grain, and many loaded freight cars
had been destroyed.
The fire started in a warehouse In
which was stored an immense quanti-
ty of combustible material, including
wool, cotton and oil.
The Boston & Albany railroad,
New York Central and Hudson river
railroad are the greatest losers. It II
estimated that their loss is $1,000,000
covered by blanket insurance. The
loss OF freight and grain burned is
placed at fully 100000.

An illustration OF the important

believed that the work of repair being

About 200 men are engaged in the
work Of repairing the tracks and more
permanent work is being done by the

Hobson Not Taken Seriously.

Denver Colo, July 9.-The predic-
ton Of Congressman Hobson OF war
with Japan, which he made from the
lecture platform in all the cities OF
the Pacific coast, is not taken serious
ly by the convention. The prediction
was jeered and hissed at the conven.
ton last night.
The applause from the coast dele
gates was the only encouragement re-
ceived when Hobson brought his ia
vorite subject to the notice Of the del
egates. Nearly half those in the hall
tried to prevent Bell from according
Hobson the privilege Of addressing the
conventlno, but Hobson declared the
United States is in immediate danger
OF war with Japan.
He was greeted with cries OF go
home" "sit down." "Get the Hook" 4"
He stopped several times.
At his conclusion Bell said he came
from the coast and he did not see any
danger.

Committees Work Fast.

Denver, July 9.-1n the hope of be-

form to the convention Immediately
after the conclusion of Clayton's
speech today, the political carpenters
took an unusually early breakfast.
The general subcommittee Of the full
platform committee got together at
$3.50 to receive the reports of the va
rious little subcommittee, which
were in session all night, and agreed
on practically all the planks.
Those on injunction, railroads, cur
rency and trusts have not yet been
agreed upon.
Before the national convention was
called to order at 1880 o'clock the
indications were that there would be
considerable debate in the full reso-
lutions committee.

Commission.

Denver, July 9.-The following is a
part Of the anti-injunction plank
adopted by the resolutions committee
of the democratic conventions:
Questions of judicial practice hav-
ing arisen, especially in connection
with industrial disputes, we deem
parties to all judicial proceedings
should be treated with rigid impair
TALLY that injunction should not be
issued in any case in which injunctions
would not issue If Industrial disputes
were not involved"
The railroad plank is as follows:
I'VE assert the right of congress to
exercise complete control over inter-
state commerce and the right of each
state to exercise just as complete con-
troll over the commerce within its bor-
ders. We demand such an enlarge
ment of the powers of the interstate
commerce commission as is necessary
to enable it to protect persons and
places from discrimination and extor-
ton and to compel the roads to per-
form their duties as common car
riers."

ELGIN WOOL SALES.
One Million Pounds From Wallowa
County Being Sold.


Today is the date for the wool sales
at Elgin. The amount offered is es-
timated at 100000 pounds, which is
in quantity practically the same as
the largest offerings in previous
years, The larger portion of the wool
at Elgin comes from Wallowa county,
although there are few large clips
in the Elgin section.
Word has been received that sew
eral buyers, probably from 10 to a
dozen in number, will be present.
Among these the largest representa-
tions are of firms of Boston people.
1t is considered a certainty that there
will be enough competition among
the buyers to bring the figures UP to
market demands.
The matter of price is more or less
problematical and will be until the
sales commence. The growers have
in their favor the fact that the prices
have been stiffening the past few
days. Top figures for eastern Ore
gon wool the present season have
ranged few fractions above 16 cents.

IRON TUBES WILL DIVIDE TWO STATES

Owing to the fact that the old
monuments marking the boundary
had been torn down or had decayed,
the line has been in dispute for sew
eral years and new survey was,
made, in which II was feared that,
Idaho would lose a strip Of territory
two miles in width and about 80 miles
in length north of Lewiston.
However, the old line was re-estab-
lished and the boundary will remain
where It was first located, but to OBJ
viate any future discussions these
iron tubes will be sunk into the soil
to mark the dividing line between the
two thriving commonwealths.
