sumed. Mullins block on the south, was
saved by the exertions of the citizens. The
buildings destroyed were all One-story
frame affairs. The washhouSe, owned by
G. Kelsey, was worth about 800; no insur-
ance. The Chinese tenant who had Just
got in, says he lost 81 600. The restaurant
building was owned by the same person,
and was valued at $3.50; no insurance. Mr.
Follett lost about $3.50 in furniture, pict-
ures, etc; no insuI ance. The building
next adjoining the restaurant on the north
was damaged $40. All the structures were
owned by J. Kelsey. The meat market
next to Mullins block was owned by A. F.
Mills. As to the cause of the fire there are
conflicting statements. The Chinese wash
man says that white man or boY threw a
stone IN through the door which struck a
lamp, thus firing the building. Others say
that the Cinnamon were playing dOminoes
and started the fire themselves. \ boy
says he saw the Chinaman subsequently
endeavoring to fire the Mullin block il the
rear, and scared him of. Loud threats
were made against the Cinnamon, and a
rush was made for the other Chinese houses
IN the rear of those destroyed on Mills
street, but better judgment prevailed and
i they We're given till Saturday to remove.
ms morning meeting of business men
was held at I. p. Lukens'. d. C. Ripley
presided, and Charles A. Gardner acted as
Secretary. Resolutions were adopted TO the
effect that ii is the sentiment of the COM
munlty that no Cinnamon be allowed in
Pasadena within the limits bounded by
/ Orange Grove and Lake avenues. and Cali
tornia and Mountain avenues, they being
the outside streets of the town that all
Cinnamon be notified to leave, and given a
reasonable time to do so ; that where they
have paid advanced rents, such advance be
returned to them, and that no mob law be
allowed in Pasadena. The Cinnamon. as
soon rs the above facts were made known,
made arrangements to remove. They I'M
mediately leased a tract of land from Thos.
Banbury on the outskirts of the town, and
already the work OF building up a new
Chinatown has commenced.
LATER-Under Sheriff Thornton is on the
ground The Chinese have all gone and
peace prevails.
THE FEELING AT OTHER PLACES.
SANTA Cruz, November 7th.-A public
meeting is being held here tonight under
the auspices OF the Anti-COOlie League TO
discuss the Chinese question and the means
OF freeing the city from their presence.
Bernheinis Hall, where the meeting is
held, is crowded with citizens, and speeches
are being made by local orators There
have been threats of a forcible removal of
the Chinese, but no such ill-considered ac-
ton will probably be taken.
HoLLIaER, November 7th.-No public
movement has yet been made regard
ing the anti-Chinese feeling. The public
sentiment however, is ripe tor action. The
people heartily indorse and will act in con-
cert with any law-abiding movement cal
culated to benefit white labor as opposed to
Mongolian.
NEvADf- CITY, November 7th.-Fhere is
not likely TO be any anti Chinese movement
made here, as the heathens mostly occupy
quarters by themselves, well removed from
the business part of the city. The number
of Chinamen in this city and vicinity is
less than it has been for years, and conse-
quently the encroachments upon labor are
correspmIdingly diminished.
Tucson "a. T. }, November 7th.-A strong
feeling is prevalent here against the Chi
nese, WHO have absorbed nearly all the
small trading stores, restaurants and wash
houses. An organized movement is in
progress to determine definite action Many
Mongolims are coming here from Mexico
