Baltimore, Md., June 13.—The great
«st Are since the conflagration of 1904,
Involving a propierty. logs of about one
'million dollars and probably the sacrl
flee of life, occurred at an early hour
•this morning on the water front
For a time the entire harbor front
was threatened with destruction, on
j. the north side, the flames being with
difficulty kept within the confines of
i' the wharf of the Merchants and Mln
ere Transportation company and on
the south side. A stubborn battle was.
fought to prevent the wholesale de
struction of property by the Are which
spread from the steamship Essex and
six bargfes which were burned. The
fire started at 1:30 o'clock, but at 5
o'clock was out.
At that hour the flames on the Essex
had been extinguished and the shell
of the vessel was badly lifted from the
water in her hold.
Two members of the crew of the
Essex are missing and it is believed
that they were burned to death or
Jumped overboard and were, drowned.
Their names are
EDWARD ATKINSON, cabin assist
ant
JOHN COSTBLLO, sectind steward.
Five other men were rescued with
difficulty the tug Mary, two of them
narrowly escaping death in the flames
or drowning, as they w.ere forced to,
:d~- ma'ie
flying leaps -to the' rescuing' ves-
from the deck of the Essex, as the
•. former boat pulled away from the
burning vessel. On the fjouth side uf
the harbor the packing house of
Moore & Brady Co. was damaged.
Steamer Minnie Wheeler of Baltimore,
owned by the Chesapeake & Atlantic
Steamboat Co., and the cotton shed of
the Merchants and Miners Transporta
tion company, were partially destroy
ed. They caught fire from the barges
and the Essex when they floated across
the harbor after being cut loose from
V'- their moorings. Six barges and scows
at the wharf, loaded with cotton and
rosin, caught fire and the flames
blazed fiercely, the heat from them
being intense. Residents living in the
neighborhood became panic stricken
and the police assisted many women
and children to safety.
At a late hour the dead bodies of
Atkinson and Costello were recovered
from the wreck of the steamer Essex
as was also the body of Manuel O'Del
lo, fireman, whose head was com
pletely burned off his body. These
three bodies were recovered with great
difficulty* from the position amidship
of the vessel. The two men are sup
posed to have lost their lives by drown
ing or by being burned to death.

"Mad King" Otto of Bavaria
Said to be Near Death—
Brother a Suicide.
Special to the Ercslsi Times.
Berlin, June 13.—A dispatch from
Munich says that serious illness has
again taken hold upon mad King Otto
of Bavaria. By a peculiar coincidence
today happens to be the twentieth an
niversary of King Otto's ascension to
the throne. Several years before he
succeeded his mad brother, King Lud
wig II., Otto was afflicted with a most
dangerous form of mental trouble and
for twenty years' he has been hope
lessly insane, the country being under
the rue of a regency. Ludwig II. was
found drowned in Starbergen lake, on
the royal estates. He had committed
suicide. Ludwig's form of insanity'
was an exaggerated passion for art.
Otto's passion is to kill. For twenty
years his guards have stood in dread
of their lives while on duty watching
over their insane ruler. He is a man
of gigantic stature, with unkempt
beard and wild eyes. His pastime was
shooting at peasants who chanced to
pass within range of his window. It
is said that he would sit at a window
through the day waiting for a chance
to "pot" a peasant

operated on in the city hospital here
because he had indigestion and other
troubles in his gastronomic regions.
The doctors took 57 nails, three or
four pieces of glass and five pieces of
wire from his stomach. They say Wal
lace will get well. Wallace said he
had been eating this kind of dessert
for several years and had never ex

that he will again enter into active
competition with the regularly ac
credited ostriches for fame in circuses.

Before Congress Closes it Will

THIS WILL DELAY
ADJOURNMENT
Secretary Taft is Determined to Have
This Matter Settled Before
Further Work is Done.
Associated Press to The Bvenlac Times.
Washington, June 13—An unex
pected snag was struck today in the
movement for an early adjournment
of congress and it is possible that the
type of the Panama canal must be
settled before congress closes its busi
ness. Secretary Taft was in confer
ence with Speaker Cannon and Chair
man Hepburn of the committee on
interstate foreign commerce, which
handles the canal legislation, and there
is a disposition to settle the type of
canal before the adjournment of con
gress. Secretary Taft is in earnest
in his efforts to have this matter
settled before the work proceeds much
further. It is possible that when the
appropriation of 25,000,000 for con
tinuing the work on the canal is
reached that an amendment -for an
85-foot lock canal may be made which
would mean the determination of the
type before this great supply measure
could become a law. It was first
thought all the business could be
settled so adjournment could be taken
at least on June 27.

Duluth, Minn., June 13—The mo8t
open convention the republicans of
Minnesota have held in years' assem
bled here today for the nomination of
a state ticket to be voted on at the
fall election. The make-up of the
ticket cannot be forecasted with the
slightest degree of certainty. It is a
free-for-all race with several aspir
ants for each place on the ticket, in
cluding the governorship. Jacobson
appears in the lead for the guber
natorial nomination, but it is con
ceded that several ballots will be nec
essary to a choice, as many of the
delegations will vote for favorite sons
on the first roll-call.
Duluth, June 13.—The republican
state convention was called to order
here this morning at 10:45 o'clock
and with practically a certainty of at
least two days' duration. Minnesota
has never seen a convention of the re
publican party that begins with the
situation more mixed than this. With
seven active candidates for the nom
ination for governor, seven for secre
tary of state, two involved in a fierce
fight for auditor, three for treasurer,
and still more all down the line, and
everyone having strongly committed
delegations, the situation had failed
absolutely to clear Itself up to the
moment of the opening. The air has
been rife with rumors of deals be
tween the candidates and the trading
of support, but to all appearances
everything is in the air. The forces
are so thoroughly divided that every
candidate seems to be afraid to make
any deal for fear of Its disastrous ef
fect.
J. F. Jacobson, of Madison, is the
leader in the fight for the nomination
for governor and he may go into the
convention with 400 delegates. A
strong effort is being made to concen
trate the fight of the other six against
him, but no united effort seemed to be
successful up to the hour of opening.
Nominations can hardly be reached
before a late hour in the afternoon.
When the convention was called to
order by the state chairman, Conde
Hamlin, of St. Paul, W. W. Sivrlght, of
Hutchinson, was chosen chairman
unanimously, and G. T. Simpson ot
Winona, secretary. This organization
was made permanent later and the
usual committees appointed.
A. L. Cole Lands.
After three ballots, during which
.Jacobson and Block had the lead, sev
eral switches were made and at the
close of the fourth, A. L. Cole of Walk
er, was nominated on the fourth bal
lot, he having 550 votes. There was
a. wild i)roar.
After the committees had been ap
pointed General George P. Wilson of
Hennepin presented a motion to en
dorse United States Senator Nelson
which was done amid cheers by a ris
ing vote. Chief Justice C. O. Start was
nominated to succeed himself and the
nomination was made unanimous.
Then on motion of one of the Jacob
son followers an informal vote on gov
ernor was taken which showed:
Jacobson 34S, Cole 130, Lord 122%,
Diment 65%. Stephens, Polk county,
101, Somerville 87, Black 194. The
first formal ballot gave Jacobson 368.
