II BIG FIRE IN HAMBURG.
Three Killed, Tacenty Missing, Many
Hurt Church DESTROYED.

Hamburg. July 3-St. MichaePs Church. one
OF the most interesting buildings in Hamburg
was destroyed by fire this afternoon The fire
broke out in the steeple, where workmen were
repairing the clock. and is supposed to have been
due TO carelessness. The confagration spread
rapidly. and the steeple. which was 426 feet
high, fell in forty minutes after the fire started
The flames spread to adjoining buildings, sew
eral Of which burned so rapidly that the fire
seemed to get out Of control. The firemen
fought desperately TO check the flames and re-
move the inmates of the burning house A
strong wind was blowing. A department store
occupying three buildings was rapidly gutted by
the flames. The roof of the church soon fell In
with laundering noise
After the church was in flames DR. Brink
mann, director of the Museum of Art and In
dustry with several officials entered the build
ing to save the gold and silver treasures. but
only small part OF these were brought out.
When the steeple fell thousands of people who
had gathered in the streets gave vent to groans
that were audible above the roar OF the flames.
The flames later attacked houses in En-
glischeplanke. Bohmke. Venusberg and Miihlen
streets. The Schaarmarket which was n.
wooden building burned rapidly. small Bap-
tist church was also destroyed. In all twelve
houses were destroyed while more than twenty
roofs or upper stories were burned
Twenty persons are missing. The fire watch
man who lived in the steeple sounded the cleo
trio alarm, but his retreat was cut off, Three
worlmen who were repairing the clock also per-
lshed, and thirty fremen were wounded two of
them dangerously.
AT a late hour tonight the flames were still
burning but the fire was under control, and its
further spread is improbable. Only the walls Of
the church are standing
The people of Hamburg deeply regret the loss
OF the church. which was Of the most prOmi-

URGE REBELLION AGAINST CzAR
The Polish Socialist Alliance Also Protests
Against the immigration Bill.

The New York Branch of the Polish Socialist
Alliance, an international body Of Poles. held
meeting last night in Beethoven Hall. in 9th
street. Protest made by several speakers
against the massacres in Russia and against the
immigration bill in this country.
The plan approved by the Poles to crush the
Car is to create general rebellion Anarchy in
any form is disapproved. The sentiment of the
Poles on the subject of anarchy was illustrated
by Bradley H Kirschberg. who said:
The greatest anarchist in the world is the
Gar We cannot emulate his example. Next
TO the Car in the realm of anarchy rank those
members of his Cabinet and the bureaucracy who
have aided at Kishineff and Bialystock But we
can crush the Czar by a general rebellion, and
that is what the Polish Socialist Alliance as a
body advocates.
resolution was adopted protesting against
the massacres OF the Jewish population under
the leadership of the government, against tyran-
nical murders Of political prisoners and bar
barous assaults upon the intelligent and think
ing public" and calling upon all those suffering
under Czarism to unite and counteract the
propaganda of the religious social racial and
national prejudice and hatred inspired by the
Russian government"
A second resolution was directed against the
proposed changes lin the immigration laws.
