Athletes Will Compete.

MILWAUKEE, July 2l.-Milwau-
kee is the centre of German-Ameri-
can life, and the 10000 strangers
who are today crOwding it's streets
and participating in its festivities
represent the German speaking
population of every city in the
country. The North American
Turner Bund at present comprises
$50 societies, with a membership
of $4,000 men. The district of Wis
cOnsin, which embraces the socie-
ties Of Milwaukee and vicinity, has
had sole charge of the arrange
ments for the festival.
The reception this evening will
be preceded by tOrchlight parade
from the depot through the prin-
cipal streets to the banquet hall.
DR.. Henry Braun, president of the
Turner Bund, will deliver an ora
ton, after which Mayor Koch will
welcome the visiting turner's in
the name of the city of Milwau-
kee. After the inaugural festivi-
ties the men will proceed to the
encampment at the athletic park
and fair grounds, where they will
be quartered during the four days
of the tournament.
The number of active turner's
who will participate in the gym
nastic exercises will exceed 5000,

entered in the gymnastic con-
test

U. S. Supreme Court Decision.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The de-
cisiOn Of the United States Su-
preme court, in the case of the
Union Pacific VS.. GOodrige, just re-
ported, holds that all shippers
must be treated by carriers with
absolute equality, and distinctly
recognizes the right Of the law
making bodies to regulate rail
ways by railway commissions.
especially that feature of the State
and Federal regulations, which re-
quires carriers to obtain permis-
sion of the Commission before
granting lower rates to persons
and places. The case was brought
under the Statute of Colorado,
which prohibits unjust dis
elimination in practically the
same language at that employed
in the Interstate commercial law.
The same rate, one dollar a ton,
was in effect to Denver from both
Erie and Marshall, but while the
Erie coal paid the tariff rate, the
Marshall coal was only charged 90
cents per ton, a rebate of 40 cents
from the schedule rate.

The Silver Question in India.

CALCUTTA, July 2I.-EXchange

the offer of the Indian government

the closure of the mint,s to free

banks in question will dispatch
delegates to Simla, to represent
their case to the government, and
that they ask that the offer be
kept open in the meantime.
The "PiOneer", paper that

supporter of the government, COM
menting upon the financial policy
of the advices of the government,
regarding the sale of council

becility that prompted the course
taken, there was an affection of
imbecility for the purpose of con-
cealing the motive that can be
confessed.

FIRE BURNS
Two Large Blocks in Long Island
City,

LONG ISLAND CITY, n. V, July
2l.-TwO entire blocks of buildings
in this city were destroyed by fire
early this morning. The new st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church,
just completed at cost of $780,
600, is totally destroyed. The Par
sonage was one of the first build
ings, and was thoroughly Quilted
by the flames. The costly new
Parochial school, which had never
been used, was also destroyed. The
flames started in Gray's Refrigera-
tor factory, in the fourth story
and spread rapidly, through a
large stock of dry timber. South
erly winds carried the flames
and soon the whole block,
which is bounded by Jackson
avenue, on west, by Vernon
avenue and 4th street and 9TH
street on the north, was in flames.
The fire department could do moth
ing, to stop the progress of the
flames. Help was asked from
Brooklyn. but before it ar
rived, the entire block in
which the fire started,was doomed.
After burning nearly an hour, the
fire leaped across to the opposite
buildings 90 Fourth, and Fifth
streets, and the firemen were pow
erless TO check their progress.
These burned blocks made up
the business portion of the
First ward. More than a
hundred families have been rem
dered homeless. The loss is about
100000. The water lasted until
the fire was nearly under control,
and then there was a great short
age. At 2:3O o'clock p. m, the
tower Of the Catholic church fell
with crash and wrecked what re-
manned of the roof of the main
building.
