Chicago, Jan. 27.-One fireman u
supposed to have been killed, more
than a score of others We're injured,
and property valued at S500000 was
destroyed in a fire which devastated
the Mayer building, a seven story brick
structure, and the hotel Florence, in
Adams street, early today. The fire
broke out in the basement of the
Mayer building, and spread so rapidly
that when the firemen arrived the en-
tire building was in flames. A strong
north wind swept the flames to an ad-
jacent hotel building, and in few
minutes the structure was q roaring
furnace. The walls and roofs Of both
structures collapsed an. hour later,
carrying with them the entire COM
pany of firemen. All except one, James
Gallagher. were rescued.
Twenty guests in the hotel escaped

BLACKLIST LEGAL
United States Supreme Court Rejects
Law Prohibiting Railway Corpora
tions From Discriminating Against
Labor Unions.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The constitu-
tionality of the act of congress. of June
/, 1898, prohibiting railroad companies
engaged in interstate commerce from
discriminating against members of la
Dor organizations in the matter of en-
ployment was called into question by
the case of William Adair VS.. United
States, which was decided by the SUI
preme court of the United States today
favorable to Adair. The opinion was
by Justice Harlan and he held the law
to be repugnant to the constitution.
The court held that Ad;lir, as master
mechanic of the Louisville 4 Nashville
Railroad company, had right to dis
charge the employe because he was a
member of a labor organization, just
as it was the employees right to quit
bership in such organization. Such a
course, the decision added, might be
unWise, but, regarded as a mere mat
ter of right, there could be no doubt.
Congress could not under the consti-
tuition authorize the violation of con-
tracts under the guise of protecting in
terstate commerce. Justice McKenna
delivered a dissenting opinion favor
able to the law, in which he said the
courts decision proceeds along very
narrow lines

ALMOST A CLASH
Reason for DeIcasse's Retirement
Printed in Paris Newspaper Al
lance With Great Britain Stopped
by Germany's Threat.

Paris, Pan. 27.-The Action, the So
cialist organ, today publishes state
ment that NJ. Delcasse, former French
minister of foreign affairs, resigned
office because the German emperor
discovered he was secretly negotiating
an offensive and defensive alliance
with Great Britain. When Emperor
William learned that a treaty was un-
der way, according to this newspaper,
he told the Italian ambassador at Ber-
lin that on the day it was signed he
would march German troops into Lor-
raine. This threat reached France,
whereupon NJ. Rouvier, then premier,
accused Delcasse of carrying on Sc
cret negotiations. Delcasse admitted
this to be true, and at the request of
his confrerees, resigned. Denys Co
chin, in an interview today, pronounced
the statement in great measure un-
true.
Patrie, supplementing the alleged
revelation in the Action of the secret
downfall of Delcasse, says that only
Delcasse and Loubet, who was then
president of France, We're aware of the
French negotiations.
