Denver, Col, July 1.-THE boom
for John H. Atwood of Kansas for ma.

Thursday. Several leaders talked to
Bryan by phone during the day, but
he gave them no intimation as to his
choice for chairman of his campaign
committee. Therefore, he has neither
approved or vetoed the Atwood BOOM
Atwood, himself is taking no hand in
the fight. Homer Cummings of Con-
necticut is managing it. Atwood says
that if the honor falls TO him he will
gladly accept it, but if Mr.. Bryan
thinks that some other friend can put
up a sitter campaign then he wants
the other fellow chosen.
Friends of Bryan say it will be hard
for the Commoner to turn down the
Atwood proposition. Bryan and At
wood have been as thick as four in a
bed for many years. Still if Bryan
does put his foot down on the plan,
Atwood will raise no disturbance.

Destructive BOSTON FIRE
A QUARTER MILE OF HARBOR
FRONT SWEPT OVER.
Property Loss Estimated at $780,.
0o0-Two Persons Are
Missing.

| Boston, Mass, July 10.-A fire be
lieved to have been caused by spon
taneous combustion or locomotive
spark and famed by brisk north
west wind swept nearly quarter oil
a mile of the harbor front of East
! Boston late Wednesday, causing a
| property loss estimated at nearly ST.
| 100000. Two persons were reported
missing and it is thought that both
persisted in the flames. One of them
was Daniel Sullivan, Waterman at
the Cunard Liner pier and the other
was Miss Sadie Arnold, clerk en-
ployed by the Cunard Steamship com.
pany. The flames spread with remark
able rapidity. Within half an hour of
the time the fire was discovered four
piers, three warehouses, grain ele-
vator containing 10000 bushels Of
grain and many loaded freight cars
had been destroyed.
The big Leyland line steamer De
vonian, which arrived Tuesday from
Liverpool, was moored at one of the
piers which was destroyed, but she
was warped out into the stream with
out serious damage. The British bark
Belmont of Yarmouth, N. S., was
moored by steel cables to the pier
when the fire started. By the time
the Belmont was got out into the
stream the paint had been burned off
her steel hull, her cabins had been
practically destroyed, her life boats
charred and ruined and her spare sails
and rigging so badly burned as to
make a complete new equipment
necessary
The fire started in the warehouse OF
pier l, Grand Junction dock. In the
building was stored an immense guam
tity of combustible material, includ-
ing wool, Egyptian cotton, grease and
oil. 1t is believed that spontaneous
combustion or a spark from freight
alongside the warehouse |
caused the fire.
The Boston & Albany and the New
York Central & Hudson River rail-
roads are the greatest losers 1t is
estimated that the railroads loss is
81 100000 covered by blanket insur-
ance. The loss of freight and grain
burned is placed at fully 100000 prac-
.ically all of which was insured.
