Democratic party followed the exam
pie of the Republican convention in
adopting the personal liberty" plank
prepared by the United Societies" of
Chicago. The action was not taken
without vigorous opposition, how
ever, and was only secured by the
chairman of Cook county, who voted
his entire delegation of 535 members
in favor Of the personal liberty plank,
in spite of loud protests on the part
of some of the delegates, who would
have preferred a little more per
sonal liberty" in the matter of voting,
and considerably less in the platform.
Many down-state delegations voted
against the resolution, and the press
reports declare that, in spite of the
action of the convention, there was
a remarkable showing Of an increased
hostility to the liquor trade.

Discussing the Liquor Question

also for the addition of county and
residence district provisions to the
present option law. The temperance
people of the state are beginning to
talk hopefully of ultimate state pro-
hibition.
The elections of April 81 added one
county, Pulaski, to the totally dry
list, making thirty-six counties in all.
Forty-four cities and towns also
voted dry" ten of which, however,
were already dry by the vote of April
z. Sixty-six cities and towns voted
to retain saloons, but eight of these
are in dry townships. and the second
elections are therefore void.
The prohibition map of Illinois,
published herewith, remains correct
for the most part. Pulaski county,
which had one license town, is now
in Their dry list. Jasper county Is also
entirely dry. Schuyler county, which
appears on the map as dry county,
still has some saloon territory. OF
the twenty-five townships in Iroquois
county, thirteen voted dry, and Steph-
enson county had fourteen out Of it's
eighteen townships dry.

The supreme court of Illinois, in
it's decision rendered April %, found
the local option law constitutional.
This means that the saloons voted
out April will be closed May Z,
that the license majorities in towns
within "dry" townships are of no
avail, and that the way is open for a
still more sweeping application of the

BIG BLAZE IN BOSTON
LOSS NEARLY. 81 900, 900.
Quarter Nile Of Waterfront Szcept
One Nan Missing.

Boston July S-Fire believed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion a loco
motive spark, swept nearly a quarter of a mile
of the harbor front of East Boston late to-day,
causing a loss estimated at nearly $1,oOOOOO
Much Of the loss falls on the Boston & Albany
Railroad. Daniel Sullivan a watchman at the
Cunard Line pier, is missing. and is thought to
have perished in the flames.
The fire was the most destructive and exten-
sive that has broken out the waterfront here
for many years. The flames, famed by brisk
northwest wind spread with remarkable rapid
ity, and by the time the first engine arrived on
the scene the fire beyond control and leap
ing from pier to pier. Within half an hour four
piers three warehouses, an elevator containing
thirty thousand bushels of grain and many
loaded freight cars had been destroyed.
Several vessels and lighters narrowly escaped
destruction.
The burned area includes Piers 1 and of the
Grand Junction Docks and the pier on which
the big grain elevator stood, all owned by the
Boston & Albany Railroad Company, and used
by the steamers of the Cunard Line, and Pier d,
owned by the Leyland Line.
The fire started at 4:15 p. m. in the ware
house on Pier 1. Grand Junction Docks In this
was stored an immense quantity of conbustihle
material including wool. Egyptian cotton,
grease and oil. First a slight burst of fire was
seen, and three minutes later the entire ware
house was a mass of flames When the fire was
discovered there were about one hundred Ia
borers at work on the pier, and with them it was
a race for life. Later it was found that Sullt-
van was missing. In few moments the flames
and blazing embers jumped across the slip and
communicated with the warehouse on Pier z
Next the grain elevator burst into flames. and
then the fire jumped across to Pier of the Ley
land Line. In the burned warehouses there were
many cars loaded with freight for export. All
were destroyed.
Fortunately the wind blowing offshore.
and the flames did not work back from the
waterfront.
The Boston & Albany Railroad is the greatest
loser by the fire It is estimated that the rail
roads loss is $1,OOOOO0; covered by insurance.
The loss on freight and grain is placed at at
least 100000. Practically all the freight was
insured
