ton of New BattIeship
Being Built.
ALL REFUSE TO TALK

New York, July 9.-In an order
which is one of the most sweeping ev-
er issued at the New York navy yard
all officers and men employed in the
construction of the new 10000 ton bat
tie ship whose keel will be laid in a
few weeks, are forbidden to give out
any information whatever to the news
papers or the public. So strict is the
wording of the order that the officers
in charge of the department of con-
struction and repair, to whom 1t Is
particularly addressed, will not even
give the name of the author.
Rear Admiral Goodrich, command
ant of the yard is in Washington. and
it is believed that the order had its
origin there. One officer did venture
the information that the contents OF
the document would probably be made
public within few days.
William J. Baxter, naval constructor
who will have charge of the building
thing connected with his department.
Il am shut up tighter than a clam -
he said. Under this order we can not
give out any information. l can not
tell you when the keel of the new yes
sci will be laid. The order won't let
me say how many men are to be taken
on or laid off,

1t was Secretary Roses busy day,
for he was constantly occupied in car
rying the kilograms to his chief.
An hour passed and Mr.. Bryan re-
appeared in the sun room. In his most
solemn tones he started as if to make
an important announcement, but con-
cluded with an invitation for the en-
tire party to adjourn to the shady side
of the home and indulge in the de-
struction of the mighty watermelon
which reached him yesterday, gift
from San Antonio. Texas.
Il cannot speak in all this noise,
he said, sweeping his arm in the gen.
eral direction of the turbulence at
Denver; Let us now participate in
watermelon"
Mr.. Bryan officiated in dissecting
the melon, and for time politics was
forgotten in favor of refreshments
It was as the reporters were about
to leave that Mr.. Bryan commended
on the remarkable tribute that had
been paid him. The last slice of wat.
ermelon had Just been consumed by
Judge Charles Guy of New York, a
late arrival. when a flash announcing
that the demonstration had subsidized
was received.
That it's IRENE ndous force and re.
markable duration had stirred the
three-time candidate in every fiber
was apparent as he spoke. He thought
deeply for moment after finishing
the statement, apparently on the verge
of saying more, but turned and re-en
tered the house with the words unut
tered.
A number of congratulatory tele
grams We're received by Mr. Bryan
among them one from Governor Folk
of Missouri, who felicitated the Ne
braskan on receiving the greatest ova
ton ever given a presidential candi
date.

1t was with these words that W. J.
Bryan yesterday afternoon, speaking
TO newspaper men. acknowledged the
remarkable demonstration given him
by the delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention.
That Mr.. Bryan was deeply affected
by the outburst was apparent in the
gravity with which he uttered the SEN
'timent quoted. One hour and twenty
seven minutes of delirious homage was
pictured in his kilograms received at
Fairview and the thrill of it showed
in flashes in the eye of the man to
whom it was paid.
When the demonstration began Mr.

GREAT FIRE LOSS
Boston Harbor Front Visited
BY Flames Yesterday
Afternoon.
ESTIMATED AT S1,5OO,OOO.

Boston, Mass, July "a fire, be-
lieved to have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion or a locomotive
spark, and famed by a brisk north
west wind, swept nearly a quarter of
mile of harbor front of East Boston
late yesterday, causing a property loss
estimated at nearly $1,500,000. Much
of the loss falls upon the Boston &
Albany railroad. Two persons were
reported missing, and it is thought
that both persisted in the flames One
Cunard line pier, and the other is
Miss Sarah Reynolds, employed by
the Cunard Steamship Company.
Yesterdays fire was the biggest
and most destructive that has broken
out along the harbor front for many
years. The flames spread with re.
markable rapidity and by the time the
first fire-fghting apparatus arrived on
the scene they were beyond control
and leaping from pier to pier.
Within half an hour Of the time the
fire was discovered, four piers, three
warehouses, a grain elevator contain.
ing 10000 bushels of grain and many
loaded freight cars had been de-
stroyed.
The Boston & Albany Railroad, New
York Central & Hudson River Rail
road, lessee, were the greatest losers
1t is estimated the railroads loss is
100000 covered by blanket insur
ance. The loss Of freight and grain
burned is placed at fully 100000.
Practically all of the freight was in
Sured.

The Game of Bowls.

Although bowls is an ancient Brit
ish game it is still popular, says an
English writer 1t is played on a
smooth. level piece of greensward, gen.
orally about forty yards long, surround
ed by trench about six inches deep.
Edinburgh is believed TO have the lar
gest bowling greens. In that city there
are numerous clubs, each with its own
separate bowling green. There is a fine
bowling green at Magathy, near Shelf
field. This green has existed since 1851.
The game is the same as that played
by Sir Francis Drake in 1879. Bowls
can be traced as far back as the twelfth
century. Formerly the game was IN
lawful, but the restriction has been re-
moved
