Williams, of Indiana, were also placed before the convention for Presi dent, but before the list of states had been completed In the roll call, their names were withdrawn, and "Watson was nom inated by acclamation. Ex-Senator Al len made good his word that he would not enter Into any scramble for the nomina tion, and while the nominations were being- made he twice instructed the chair man of the Nebraska delegation to say that his name must not go before the convention. In the face of this, however, he received over 40 votes. "Whether Mr. "Watson will accept the nomination, no one In the convention eeemed to know, and all efforts to secure some definite Information from Mr. "Wat eon's friends failed. "Watson was quoted as saying- If the Democrats at St. Louis nominated Hearst, he would support him for President. "Williams, of Indiana, received only a lew votes, and soon withdrew, moving- to make "Watson's nomination unanimous. The Platform. The committee on resolutions In its re port to the convention reaffirmed adher ence to the basic truths of the Omaha platform of 1S92, and of the subsequent platforms of 1S6C and 1900. The platform then demands that all money be issued directly by the Government, every dollar to bo a full legal tender; demands postal savings banks; upholds the right of labor to organize, and favors the enactment of legislation for the improvement of the condition of the wageearners; demands the initiative and referendum; favors pro hibition of the alien ownership of lands; demands the withdrawal of special priv lliges of trusts and monopolies, and de clares the Government should own and control the railroads, telegraphs and tele phone systems, and should provide a par cels post. The platform was adopted unanimously. Nominations for President were then called for. The name of Thomas E. "Wat son, of Georgia, was presented by Na ' tional Chairman J. A. Parker, of Ken tucky. Ex-Congressman R. D. Suther land, of Nebraska, named William V. Allen, of Nebraska, but said Senator Al len had authorized him to say that tho nomination would not be accepted unless It came unanimously. Samuel W. Will lams, of Indiana, was placed In nomina tion by Thomas Wadsworth, of Indiana, UGHTNING STARTS BIG PERE. Large Grain Elevator Is Burned and Three Lives Lost. BOSTON, July 5. The Immense grain elevator of the Boston & Maine Railroad Company, one of the largest In the world, together with three of the company's' freighthouses on piers Nos. 1 and 2, Mystic wharf, Charlestown, were burned tonight, entailing losses of over $1,000,000. Three lives are supposed to have been lost Thirty-five sailors of the Allan steamer Austria, which was lying at pier No. 1, Jumped overboard to save them selves from the flames, which had com municated to their vessel. Olga Olsen, boatswain's mate; James Flynn, fireman, and Patrick N. Meehan. fireman, are the supposed victims. Flynn's body has been recovered. ' Most of the crew swam ashore, but 11 of their number required hospital atten tion. Before the fire could be controlled all the upper works had been burned. The fire started during a heavy thunder storm, when a bolt of lightning struck one of the freighthouses. In which fiB stored a quantity of hay. The flames spread rap Idly to adjoining buildings. Including the elevator, and the larger part of the fire apparatus of the city was summoned to save other property. The elevator Is fig ured at $400,000.

Among the steamship companies who will suffer losses on freight deotroyed are the Allan line, the Scandinavian and the Wilson. EX-CONSUL IS BEAD. IW. E.
