nearly ten miles in twelve minutes.
He arrived as the flames leaped over
to the tower Of the Culver line station

and ordered into service the new high

mains. The system worked perfectly
and greatly aided in checking the
flames. Water was thrown on nearby
buildings and Dreamland and Luna

spread of the flames. The fire was
under control in two hours and a big

Boston, July 10.-Practically the en-.
tire loss of $1,500,000 caused by the
fire which destroyed almost a quarter
OF a mile of the water front of East
Boston will fall upon the insurance
companies, those taking marine risks
as we'll as the companies which insure
against fire being responsible for part
of the loss under clause In the pol
icies which protects merchandise for
time while at the wharves awaiting
removal. The Boston and Albany Rail-
road company, which is leased by the
New York Central, had property val
ued at $1,000,000 destroyed, including
the two piers used by the Cunard line
and a grain elevator. The Leyland
line pier was also destroyed, together
with several freight cars and large
quantity of miscellaneous merchan-
disc. The loss Is mostly covered by
insurance Had the transatlantic
freight traffic at this port been of the

GUFFEY FINALLY OUSTED
Convention Adopts Credentials Com.
nnittee Report.

Denver, July 10.-When the Demo-
cratic national convention adjourned
after an hours acrimonious debate
over the report of the committee on
credentials one snag had been re-
moved from the channel through
which the candidacy OF William j.
Bryan must pass on the way to his
nomination for president of the Unit
ed States. By a vote announced as
615 to 3S7 the convention rejected the
minority report from the committee on
credentials and adopted that of the
majority of the committee, the prin-
cipal practical effect of which was to
unseat the group of contested dele
gates from Pennsylvania hostile to the
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan and, more
particularly, friendly to the interests
of National Committeeman James NJ
Guffey of Pittsburg. IN addition to
this the report as adopted added four
to the representation from Oklahoma
and thus four to the total strength OF
the convention. These four are for
Bryan.

respectively to sheep scab and to- the
New Hybrid Fruits originated by Prot
Hansen. The first is a careful s1ndy
of the sheep scab by Prof. Moore, who
gives the history and symptoms of this
plague, with remedies for it. He
warns sheep growers of the danger
of cOntagion by actual contact of heal
thy sheep with diseased ones and the
almost equal danger of allowing the
healthy animals to go into the pens
or pastures previously occupied by DR.
seased sheep. Every owner of sheen
should have the bulletin. Prof. Han
sens bulletin is printed as a sort OF
closing up of his work previous to
starting upon his fourth trip to Rus
sia and is a record to date OF the
progress he has made with his hybrid
sand cherries and plums. He has de-
yelOped four crosses in which he places
great faith, the Sioux "Tokeya,"
"Hanska" and "Sapa' now in the
fourth generation and from which he
expects a satisfactory fruit. He has
