The Gazette says that the indif.
ference shown by the residents Of
the Chinese quarter during the fire

hand. Four of them got in the
way of a citizen of stalwart pro
portions, and, determined that "the
Chinese must go' out of his way,
he gently upset the whole four OF
them in the mud. His lawless ac,
was excusahle under the circum.
STANCES.
