THE COURT GRANTS AN INJUNCTION.

Judges Wood and Jenklns'Say the World'* Fair Gates Must He Closed on Sunday—Judge Orosscnp Dissents from Their Views.

GATES MUST BR SnUT.

CHICAGO, June 0.—The United States circuit court has dccided to grant the injunction closing the world's fair pates on Sunday, as prayed for by District Attorney Milchrist on behalf of the government. Judges Woods and Jenkins delivered opinions favoring the granting of the restraining order, while Judge Grosscup offered a dissenting opinion. The court has been considering the case since last Friday, when the arguments were concluded. The question was discussed from its legal aspects alone, nothing of sentiment or religion being admitted in the proceedings. The judges did not have their opinions written and delivered them ex tempore before the largo crowd of attorneys and citizens of every class which thronged the courtroom. When Judge Grosscup concluded his opinion Attorney Edwin Walltcr, counsel for the director}', gave notice that an appeal would be taken and a supersedeas asked for. The motion will be heard this morning at 0:30 o'clock. If the supersedeas be granted the fair will remuin open on Sundays until the court of appeals finally passes on the case.

Hut oven if the supersedeas is refused and the appeal not granted other steps were taken Thursday to secure the intervention of Attorney General Moloney, so that it may bo possible to prolong the fight and keep the gates open from Sunday to Suniay In spite of the decision of the United States court Regarding the injunction already issued by the state court, Judge Woods was of the opinion that it had in effect expired, being only intended to be temporary, while Judge Jenkins held that the United States was not a party to the suit in the state court and that it had a right to come before courts of its own choosing and no state court could nullify the rights of the government to protect its own Interests.

Judg^o Woods' Views.

Judge Woods held favor of granting the injunction on the ground that the United States government is in actual possession of Jackson park, and congress has the right to pass any law regarding the conduct of the fulr it may think best. He thought that the act of 1890 establishing the fair made it a national institution and that when the state legislature of Illinois and the South park commissioners afterward legislated so as to allow the use of Jackson park they did it with full knowledge of this fact The people of the state of Illinois satisfied the legislative action by voting to allow Chicago to issue bonds in aid of the fair, so that the legislature, the park commissioners and |the people themselves all united to give the use of Jackson park to the fair after the general government had established that fair as a national enterprise. On these grounds Judge Woods held that when the local directory last fall tendered Jackson park to the national commls-Binex-s as the representatives of the United States government it tendered the actual possession of the park and the present temporary title to the park is now in the United States. Having this title congress has the right to pass any law it pleases, regarding Sunday opening, and also can go into a court of equity to enforce its rights. tltidge Jenkins' Decision.

Judge Jenkins commenced by referring to the national character of the enterprise and the interest of the government in it lie refused to pronounce oil the question c' possAssion'of Jackson park, saying thai, while he did not agree with Judge Woods, lie did not think the point material. He held that the legislation with respect to Sunday closing hudmo connection with a religious observance, but was a mattor of regulation under the control of the government The exposition was held to be in the nature of a charitable scheme and the appropriations made by congress as donations. The withholding of the $570,000 was characterized as an act of the government by which it Insured the payment of awards and protected the national honor. Ho agreed with Judge Woods that the Sunday-closing resolution had never been legally repealed. The state court was held to have no jurisdiction in the premises. On these 'grounds he stated that the injunction should issue.

Judge Grosscup lMsseuts.

Judge Grosscup's decision was against his associates. The fair was governed by two bodies, national und local. If the fair was, as claimed, a national Institution, oonducted by the local directory as the government's agent, then the injunction should be granted. Hut if the local corporation was the government's agent it is required to do more than any agent possibly can be asked to do in the eyes of the law. It is required to furnish bonds that it will pay all the debts of the principal of which it acts as agent that the money invested in the enterprise shall be furnished by the agent and that the agent is liable for indebtedness contracted by the principal, Is made to pay all expenses and yet has no power. This, in his opinion, was a now phase of the agency law. His arguments were logical and thoughtful, lie dissented from the opinion of his associates und voted to deny the writ of injunction.

Took an Appeal.

At the conclusion of Judge Grosscup's decision Attorney Edwin Walker, on behalf of the exposition, asked an appeal to the United States appellate court The question will be argued at 9:.'I0 this morning.

Tne opinion wus expressed among

INDIANA, FRIDAY

the spectators that had it not been for the fact that Mr. Walker, as indicated in his motion, believed that the decision was so much more far-reaching than in its mere application to the opening or closing of the gates Sunday we would not have paved an appeal. It was inferred from his speeches made on the bearing that the local directory would accept the decision of this court, no matter what it was, and comply with Its mandates as chcerfully as possible. But the decision as rendered made, In his view, so much of an application outside of the Sunday-closing question that he was not willing to let it pass unchallenged. As ho construed it, the opinion could make the local corporation liable for any Indebtedness tha national commission or the congress might assume to place upon it, without any recourse whatever. This he strenuously objected to, and therefore moved an appeal.

Will Be Closed Next Sunday. President Hlginbotliam, when he heard of the deolslon of the court, said: "Yes, tho world's fair will bo closod next Sunday. Wc can do no more than obey tho law. We have done our duty and taken every Reasonable step to socure an open fair for the people whom we have bellcvod would bo benefited thereby. It Is too bad, but tho directory can certainly not be blamed and our people should accept the decision with good will."

FARGO'S GREAT LOSS.

It Is Now Estimated to He About B3,2SO,OOO—Only One Life Was Lost. FARGO, N. D., June 9.--Nearly half this city was laid In waste by the conflagration Wednesday night. The flames were not got under control until after 8 o'clock a. m. Thirty-five stores and business blocks and 328 residences were burned, entailing a loss of fully $3,250,000. Three thousand people arc homeless and all the churches, school houses and public buildings left standing are being used as places of shelter.

Before supper time on Thursday new buildings had been arranged for to cost an amount of over half a million dollars. The city will at once rebuild the city hall, city jail and two engine houses which were burned. Alex. Stern, who lost three brick blocks valued at $150,000, begins work this morning to clear the debris from the lots and rebuild, and many other merchants will rebuild as soon as plans can be drawn. The citizens' meeting appointed a committee to try and secure a reduction from the railroads on freights on lumber and building materials. Two dozen largo marquees have been ordered and will be here and erected to accommodate, the restaurants and hotels burned out. Every little shanty left was rented as temporary quarters.

At a meeting of insurance men the estimated loss on insured property was placed at (2,800,000 and 8500,000 more on property in the residence districts uninsured. Rates havo been high and little of the property is insured for over one-third. Tho report that three children of Gilbert Flatcn -were burned is untrue. Only one life is known to be !ost so far, that of an unknown man who went back into the Chapin block.

EUI.ALIA AT JACKSON PARK. CHICAGO, June 9.—Eulnlia, Infanta of Spain, and her husband, Prince Antonio, together with the visiting members of their party, have seen the great object of their visit to America— the World's Columbian exposition, a show grander of its kind than they had ever seen before. Indeed it was plain to sec that the royal guests of the government and accompanying dignitaries of their suite were surprised to a great degree at the unparalleled splendor of the sight which met their vietv, and astonishment unconcealed was pictured in their countenances as they were driven smartly through the Plaisance entrance to the grounds proper and along the smooth roads to the Administration building.

The royal party was escorted to Jackson park from the Palmer house by the Chicago hussars, a platoon of South park mounted police leading the way. Plaudits greeted the party all along the route to the grounds. Flags and kerchiefs waved from every residence.

In the Grounds.

Accompanied by Prince Antoine, her suite and escort, the infanta entered the exposition grounds by the Midway Plaisance just before noon. The procession mudo its way ulong the Plaisance. circlcd the Woman's building, Tvcnt south past the Horticultural building and part of the Transportation building. Turning east it passed the north front of the Mining building and turned south again on the avenue between Mining and Electricity buildings. At the north front of the Administration building a 1urn to the right was made and the building entered from the west. After a reception in President Palmer's rooms in Pavilion A, breakfast on the third floor of Pavilion C, and a rest in Mrs. Potter Palmer's rooms in Pavilion A, the infanta left the Administration building at 3 o'clock and drove to the Woman's building by way of the lake shore, past tho battleship "Illinois," the Fisheries building and the Illinois state building.

Broke Up the Programme.

At the Woman's building she looked at the Spanish pavilion, drank tea in the Sinhalese pavilion, and held a reception in the assembly-room. From this point she should have been taken in state past the foreigu government buildings on the lake shore and through the circular drive among the state buildings and so on out of the grounds and back to her hotel. But lit this point she broke away from the programme, discarded her carriage and escort and started out to see things after the dictates of her own will. Slipping out of the south entrance to the Woman's building she visited the Children's building and the Horticultural building. In front of the latter she took President Palmer's electric launch and made the grand circuit of the waterway, ending up at tho Administration building, where she had supper at 7 p. m.

Had a Itoyally Good Time.

No woman ever had a better time. Up to the time she left the Woman's building her progress was a triumphal march. The applause was as spontaneous and as frequent as her charming smiles. Her beauty, kindly graciousness and quick appreciation won all hearts. During her "incog" trip around the grounds sho apparently enjoyed things all the more.

Glorious Pyrotfiolionio Display, After her long day at the fair the infanta, dinner over, was escorted to the rooms of President Palmer, overlooking the court of honor. Below, as night came on, 50,000 men and women gathered. They filled the plaza from Mi ehlnery hall to the Electricity building. They crowdcd the bridges and lined the walls of tho basin on either side from the MacMonnies fountain to the peristyle. Until 8:30 o'clock the illumination was such as has been seen before and tho crowds grew impatient

Suddenly, just at 8:30 o'clock, a line of yellow flame ran across the peristyle. It turned to blue and' then to crimson and the people recognized that the display of fireworks had begun. Then showers of rockets and mortars filled the air and a rain bf myriad colored stars and golden fountains spouting high streams of light shot up in twenty places from the black burnished waters of the basin. All about its walls rainbow colored balls of fire leaped high into the night, the yellow electric globes paling in the new splendor. Again against the gloomy eastern horizon strings of green and blue and yellow sp *rks floated away across the lako. On the columns of the peristyle gorgeous wheels and brilliant geometric figures whirled and spun. All a"bont the surface of the water fiery golden dragons frisked and gamboled. It was after 9 o'clock when just north of the central arch there burst suddenly into being, wrought in a half-dozen shades, a portraitof the infanta herself, compassed on tho one hand by the royal shield of Spain and on the other by that of the United States. At the sight the whistles of the steamers were unthrottled, and for five minutes the night was filled with tho roar of the salute. Meanwhile on the anchored float a great pyramid of colored tires was burning, shooting out its brilliant spray in every direction.

The infanta, a. few moments after her picture had been burned in colors, slipped quietly down to the next floor, to Mrs. Potter Palmer's rooms, where she made ready for her ride to the city. She had some little difficulty in reaching her carriagu owing to tho crowd, but arrived safe and sound at the Palmer house just before 11 o'clock.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report

WILL RUN AGAIN.

Gov. McKinley, of Ohio, Named for Another Term.

HIS SELECTION MADE UNANIMOUSLY.

The Governor Accepts the Nomination and Makes an Address—Ills VIOWR on the Financial Situation—The

Platform Adopted.

M'KIXLKY TO LEAD.

Cor.UMIU-s, O., June u.—The repub-, llcan state convention was called to order on Thursday morning by Gen. Grosvenor, and Rev. Dr. N. 11. Holmes Implored the Divine blessing on tho proceedings. A hearty greeting was accorded to Hon. II. M. Daugherty when he was introduced as permanent chairman.

Gov. McKinley's name was presented as a candidate for another torm by CoL Bob Nevins, of Dayton, and seconded by J. W. Nichols, of Belmont There were no other nominations, and the governor was declared the nominee amid a scene of wild enthusiasm. Gov. McKinley made a lengthy address on state and national politics. At the close of Gov. MoKinley's speech the convention proceeded to complete the ticket The following were nominated: l.loutonant governor, A. W. Harris: treasurer, \V. F. Cope attorney general, John If. Richards Judge supremo court, Joseph P. Bradbury: member board public works, Frank J. McCulloch: food una dairy commissioner, 13. F. McNcal.

McKinley Speaks.

He commenced his address by accepting the nomination and expressing his gratitue'e and appreciation. The governor proceeded to review the administration of state affairs by the republican party at extreme leugtli. Then, coming down to national issues ho said regarding the financial issue: "Tho national administration has done nothing thus tar except to crcato in the minds of business men a dcop distrust Tho financial situation which for the most part has prevailed since the 4th of March hss not been Improved, nor has the financial stringency been relieved by anything tho administration has said or done. It has announced no policy, suggested no relief, and given no sign of its disposition or ablli'.y to restore confidence, stop tho outflow of gold to foreigu countries, and tho contraction which has taken place at home. "The flOO,000.000 of gold reserve which Mr. Cleveland, in his first uatnlnistration, set apart as a sacred fund to redeem the greenbacks, and which he dedicated to that purpose and no other, he has been the drat, singularly enough, to encroach upon— the first to drop below the 1100,000,000 lino which ho himself had established as the only line of Bafety. He announced, in 1885, that this sum of M0J,(XK),0U0 was a trust fund for the redemption of the gccenbacks of tho government.

Holds Cleveland Responsible. "Mr. Cleveland fixed that sum, bolow which the government should not go and could not go In honor and good faith, thus creating In the minds of the people the fcollng that this was the danger ll.ie and that to cross it meant financial dishonor and'the violation of plighted faith. So, when bo was compelled to cross It, as ho has been several times since the 4th of March, is It to bo wondered at that serious apprehensions and lnsccutlty everywhere prevail?

Sees No Hope for Improvement. "The domocratlc victory of. 1892 has not been able to bring the hotter times promised. Ii bas not been able to maintain the good times which wero enjoyed everywhere in this ciuntry on the day of the victory. Business failures have Increased. banks hnve suspended, money is harder to borrow, and borrowers are compelled to pay higher Interest for their loans thun for many, many years. Feverish uncertainty prevails In every financial and business circle. Labor and capital are lu doubt about the future. Tills has been our condition for two months, and no change for the bettor is at this moment apparent

Why Not Repeal the Sherman Law "1( It Is true, as tbo administration boldly proclaims, that our financial distress Is occasioned by tho silver purchuso lavr which requires tho government to buy 4,r(0,000 ounces of silver every monlh and Issue treasury notes therefor, tlnn why does not tho administration convenc oongress and repeal that lawf Mr. Cleveland vainly sought Its ropcal before his inauguration, but wc have heard cllttle from him In that direction since. With the congress democratic In both branches, elected by the same constituency which elected Mr. Cleveland, with undisputed authority In him under the constitution to conveno congress, he Issues no call and taltcs no stops to repeal the law which be belioves is the cause of our disturbed business condition. Believing he knows tho cause of the trouble, he makes no effort to remove It and In this Is his responsibility, and from It ho eannot escape.

Tlie Platform.

The platform reaffirms the principles adopted by tho national republican convention of 1892 indorses and commends the narrison administration, and the administration of Ohio state affairs by Gov. McKinley Indorses the action of the last general assembly in compelling railways to use automatic couplers, in passing laws for the arbitration of labor controversies, for the taxation of franchises and collateral inheritances and other measures to reduce the burden of taxation on farms and other property favoi% bcennlal sessions of the general assembly favors full and adequate protection to American labor and industries, and cites the McKinley act as the best exemplification of this policy condemns the placing of wool upon the free list by the democratic majority In congress and insists on such full protection for the wool industry as will enable American farmers to supply tho wool required for consumption in the United States indorses the policy of the National Grange that all tariff laws shall protcct the products of the farm as well as of the factory favors such legislation as will secure free ballot and a fair count demands the rigid enforcement of existing immigration laws favors tho policy of the republican party regard.
