BRYAN ZEN MAY FIGHT.
Seek Instrct ed Delegation From New
Eosk State.

New Yor'., April l4--That the DEM
ocratic state convention will vote to
send an uninstructed delegation to the
national ccEfcntion at Denver in July
is probable. The followers CT William
J. Bryan are planning to upset the or
ganiaation programme If possible by
the introG actiol of a resolution en-
dorsing Bryan and while it is not ex-
pected that they will be successful
their action may precipitate lively
fight on the floor of the convention.
Chairman William j. Connors states
that 1t is unlikely that the convention
will adopt a platform, leaving that to
the national convention. A state con-
vention without a platform would be
Unique departure from customary
procedure.
The state committee already has
gone on record as opposed to an in
structed delegation and the organiza-
tion is expected to have it's own way
regardless of the Bryan element in
the convention.

Missouri Man Under Arrest as Result
of Shootinu Affray

Campbell, Mo-, April 14.-W. r. Bell
is under arrest on the charge of hav-
ing shot and killed Ephraim Bridges
and Marion Bridges two miles south
west of here while defending Mrs.
Clara Johnson. Bell was taken to

who, she stated, had left her. The
tragedy occurred on the Bridges farm,
where Bell was employed, and he as

ambitious plans that had been formed
by the Russian government for the de-

with Japan. Therefore, the objection
of American Consul Fisher to full
recognition of the Russian authority
at Hardin was found to be based
rather upon the fern in which the
local Russian officials proposed to at

Therefore it may be stated that
there will be no further friction be-

Quarter of the City Of Chelsea,

TEN THOUSAND HOMELESS
Three Persons Known to Have Lost
Their Lives and More Than Fifty
Sustained njuries-Property Dam
age Approximately Eight Millions.

Boston, April 14.-An area of $50
acres of blackened ruins, representing
nearly a quarter of the total area of
the city, marks the scene of the great
fire which swept through the business
section of Chelsea, turning 10000 peo-
pie out of their homes and causing a
property damage estimated at approxi-
mately $S,00O,0 900. The burned area
is guarded by militiamen and marines
to prevent possible looting and mill
tary regulations prevail throughout
the city.
Only three persons are known to
have lost their lives in the fire, but it
is feared that the number will be in
creased when a search of the ruins is
made. Over half a hundred people
were injured and many were taken to
the hospitals suffering severely, but
all the injured ones are reported to be
doing well, although several still re-
main en- the dangerous list
Among the structures destroyed
were thirteen churches, two hospitals,
the public library, city hall, five
schoolhouses, twenty business blocks,
nearly a score of factories and up

houses.

and Third streets, from a public
dumping ground, the blaze spread be-
fore northeast gale straight across
the city to the southeast, spreading

OF the Boston and Maine railroad.
II Then it extended to the junction of

Boston and Albany railroad, over
which 1t leaped, and then swept ON
until checked by q small creek. On
the other side Ii crept along Second
street until Broadway was reached,
then went along Essex and Middlesex
streets to the water front at Chelsea
creek and then leaped into East Bos-
ton. The distance from the point
where the fire started to the creek is
mile and half and the greatest
width of the fire is about half mile.
Even at the creek the fire was not
wholly stayed, for sparks blown across
set fire to several houses and to the
plant of the Standard Oil company.
The Oil plant was practically de-
stroyed. Nine buildings were burned
here, causing loss of 100000.
