After the adoption of the report, the conference adjourned until this morning,

and is now in session.

Ohio and Pennsylvania operators caucused last night, but when they could not agree the latter were left alone to make a decision. It is reported that

the firemen were at work. The lefttield bleachers were next ignited. Meanwhile the sparks had fallen upon the houses on Berlin street and the flames surged on toward Tremont street, reaching out to the right and left until the entire square between the ball grounds and Tremont street, and extending north on Walpole to Burke street, was a mass of burning buildings. The Sherman kindergarten, a brick structure, obstructed the progress of the fire for only a moment, and that too was si sin numbered among the structures consumed. The buildings on the south side of Walpole street were soon burned. The flames shot down toward Coventry street on that side of Tremont nearest the ball grounds. They swept on in this direction for three squares, as far as Burke street, devouring the homes of men and women who were working with frantic energy to get out their household goods, and even before they could remove these to a safe place the walls burned and crumbled down. Barely FJ*cape«l With Their Riven. At 5 o’clock the entire block along the west side of Tremont street, from Walpole to Burke, was a brilliant mass of flames which swept across to the opposite side and soon engulfed the buildings for four blocks. By this time the residents of the tenements for nearly half a mile around had become alarmed and were moving all their property into the struts and seeking for places of safety. So rapidly did the fire eat its way, however, that those in the blocks adjoining Tremont street did not have time to save their household effects and barely escaped with their lives. The streets were filled with frightened women and children—poor people who were trying to save a part of their small property— and hurrying firemen and policemen. Furniture of all kinds littered the sidewalks and the firemen were greatly hampered by obstructions. By 6 o’clock the conflagration had crossed Tremont to

Cabot street.

Firemen Finally Rewarded.

Shortly after 6 o’clock several steamers arrived from Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Brooklyn and Lawrence, and every effort was made to stop the fire at Cabot street. But it could not be checked, and not until it had burned from Cabot street half way through to Werwick street and north to Burke street was the limit of the burned district on the southeast side of the ball grounds reached. While the firemen were fighting on this side, the fire was spreading from Walpole toward Milford place on the southwest side of the ball grounds and in half an hour all buildings in this block was in ruins. The fire burned on until it reached Rnggles street at one point, consumed the houses on both sides of Chapel street and laid low the structures on Sudbury street. At Rug- !

HARVARD STUDENTS DROWNED. Four Young Mi*n Font While Out For a Pleasure Trip. Boston, May 16.—Edwin Stanton Bach of New York city, William Campbell Truesdell of Newark, John Farnum Browne and Franklin Whitall of Philadelphia, all students of Harvard college, were drowned in the upper harbor near Thompson’s island Sunday afternoon. The first intimation of the catastrophe was had yesterday when Superintendent Bradley of the farm school on Thompson’s island picked up near the island two coats, a crochet to a boom and a pair of oars. In the pockets of one of the coats were letters addressed to Browne, postmarked Philadelphia, and papers which showed that the owner was undoubtedly a student of Harvard. In the pockets of the other coat were letters addressed to Truesdell. A party was sent out in the afternoon in search of the catboat in which they had started Sunday afternoon for a pleasure trip of a few hours, and late in the evening the overturned craft was found. Clinging to the mast, lin ked in each other's arms, the dead bodies of Browne and Bach were found. Truesdell and Whitall have not yet been discovered. They were all bright young men.

TWO GREAT RACES.

Dr. Hire Taken Hie Gravesend llAiidlc»|i and Chant the Kentucky Derby. Gravesend, May 16.—Fifty thousand people saw the great handicap race yesterday afternoon, which was taken by

M the Windermere the greater their ad- a( i ( ,j,tj 0 „ of the report of the committee miration for the financial abilities of on credentials of 105 miners and 144 op

two Hoosier Napoleons—Joseph Octrees, late of Goshen, and August C. Mills of North Manchester. The only parallel to the Windermere venture that this city has lately afforded was Baker's south side theater, or as it is now known, Havlin’s theater. That was built, as the lawyers expressed it, “on a wide, white shirt front,” by which they meant that Mr. Baker's imposing presence and wealth of highly starched linen answered all the purposes of a large

bank account.

Story of the Venture.

As far as can be learned these Indiana projectors of the fashionable Windermere invested just $40,000 in the venture. On this slender investment they secured a $140,000 site, erected a $315,000 .hotel and got credit for $108,000 worth of furniture, silverware and bar supplies. The hotel, which stood just across the street from the north line of Jackson park, did a thriving business during the fair. It probably sheltered more distinguished visitors than any other hostelry in the world's fair district. The Maharaja of Kapurthala, the Indian prince, who came to Chicago with a retinue of servants, his private cook and his fourteenth wife, was one of the guests. Mayor Gilroy stayed at the Windermere, and the Tammany braves ever afterward regarded it as their Chicago wigwam. The hotel cleared $187,060 during the exposition, but this did not go far toward satisfying creditors, and it finally passed into the hands of a receiver, who has been operating it since last September. The hotel proper is owned by the Imperial Hotel company, while the furniture was owned by the establishment managed by the A. C. Mills company. It was the assets of the latter that were

sold in Judge Scales’ court.

The property sold yesterday was subject to receiver’s certificates amounting to $10,000 and about $6,000 additional charges, which raised the total bid to

Ov«*r lli$* Platform.

Kansas City, May 16.—“Silver Dick’’ Bland was launched yesterday in the Missouri Democratic state convention as a candidate for president by Governor Stone, notwithstanding Temporary Chairman Trimble had declared in his opening speech that the convention had not assembled to nominate a presidential candidate. The 001111111(14*6 on resolutions got into a long wrangle on the silver question, and when report was finally made there were majority and minor-

ity recommendations.

The majority report reaffirmed belief in the unconstitnliAiality of a protective tariff and disapproved the senate’s action; declared against the right of congress to refuse the coinage of silver; commended President Cleveland and made numerous other party declarations. The minority report simply reaffirmed the Chicago platform. The fight on platform continued until 3 a. in., when the convention adjourned until today, meantime having nominated two

Washington, May 16.—The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill has been completed by the committee. It carries the salaries of all government oflicers for the coining year.
