communicated with the custom
house department and demand
ed to know why United States

minister at Washington. notifying him
Pf the alleged indignity. and pending

temporarily closed the Swiss exhibit.
Speaking of the affair this morning he
tald that he did not hold that the United

practically on Swiss soil, and
United States officers have no right to
trcspass. Without saying a word to me,
they came and took possession of the,
property Of certain subjects of the GOV
ernment Of Switzerland and placed it
in charge Of United States officers. This
they had no right to do. l had issued
orders to all of the agents telling them
they must under no circumstances sell
any of the exhibits under penalty Of
the United States laws"
Continuing, Commissioner Perrenoud
said that ne had at once ordered the
entire exhibit closed and notified the
envoy of his government at Washing

foreign commissioners" he went on to
say, "and they told me | had done ex-

SAGINAW, Mich, May 20.-A little

and found refuge in the dismantIcd mill
plant of Sample < Camp. on the docks
OF which there WAS 4 number of piles of
lumber
Here il found rich food. and in the
IWlnkllng OF an eve the single spark had
grown INTO roaring mass Of flames and
started on It's mad career with 4 fury
that no human hand could check.
The Bristol Street bridge next caught
and portion of it was DESTROYED.
Thence the flames lcaped to the East
SD" just below Bristol Street and north
of the city, where were located large
number of buildings. including hose

eleven residences on Tilden Street, and
on both sides of Washington Avenue

I5es of the George +. Gross Lumber
Company. the planning mill. lumber in
their yard and Il dozen tenement houses
melting like snow. Next came the Al
hngton x Curtis Manufacturing Conn pa
ny extensive plant and Passot's old
hat factory, all of which were wiped
out. Here the fire struck Jefferson

The National Commission Fails to Order
the Fair Closed.
CHICAGO, H., May 23.-Nothing but a
Judicial injunction can now prevent the
opening of the Worlds Fair gates next
sunday, but such an Injunction is cx-
tremoly probable. The Nabbatarians
may hay" recourse To this extreme now
that they have been outwitted in every
othc" manner by the promoters Of the
open sunday plan, and the Tnited
states marshal only can stop the rush
or jackson Park on the first day of the
week 1t has been the impression of
those who favor Sunday closing that the
new rule submitted by the directors
would be Il nullitv unless opposed by
tity-tivc national commissioners or a
majority of the whole body Therefore
they nave viewed with pleasure the alb
Scnc" of 50 many of the members, CON
hdcnt that tn" necessary number of
votes could not he secured. 50 when Il
Not" Was taken to-day, which resulted
practically thlrty-one for Sunday open
ING and tWcnty-seycn against it, they
lelt that they had won, fancving that
that disposed of the rule. But when
the chair decided that as the commits
sion had failed To modify the new rule
IN any particular IT would remain in
force, q great light broke on them and
they felt they had made blunder
1t must not be taken Ior granted that
the action of the National Commission
will result in the opening of the fair
next sunday. It remains still to see
what action, if any, will hc taken in the
| nitcd States courts. 1t is claimed on
one side that if the directors accepted
tn" souvenir coins and the Sunday
closing condition attached to them. it
can't throw open the gates on the first
day Of tie week, and it can be pre-
vented from So doing by Injunction.
It iS claimed on the other side that the
tnitcd States has un jurisdiction in
the matter. It WAS stated some
TIM" ago, and the report was doubtless
correct, that the | nlted States district
attorney had been ordered 10y the at
tornVy-@"nCral Ia intervene and pre-
vent sunday opening in case the Ma
tlonal Commission sanctioned it. As Il
matter of fact it has not done So. \

it. but not Il sufficient number to APP
prove it, Nevertheless il is not Un-
likely that some Of the law points over
which the commissioners have been
battling will find their way INTO court to
